"Huh?"
Lin Fan appeared shocked; what Professor Xia was saying was sowhat beyond his comprehension.
"Look here." Professor Xia picked up a blowtorch from the side, opened the glass cover, and gave the potted plant inside a fierce spray. If it had been any other plant subjected to such flas, it would have been burned to death long ago.
But the potted plant in the glass cabinet showed no change under the scorching flas, and seed to beco even more lush than before.
Lin Fan: ...
Professor Xia said, "Amazing, truly amazing. If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe it, even if it killed ."
"Professor Xia, what’s the reason behind this?" Lin Fan inquired.
Professor Xia shook his head, "I don’t know."
"Huh?"
"Really no idea. This thing is just too incredible. I can’t explain it scientifically, but I can only say that the thing you brought back indeed has the characteristics of plants. When it touches soil, it takes root, it breathes, it releases unknown gases, and living beings that approach these gases find their vitality enhanced."
Confronted with this object, Professor Xia’s understanding faced the strongest impact in history.
Lin Fan said helplessly, "What on earth is happening in this apocalypse now? It feels so unscientific."
"Xiao Fan, what’s the use of saying that? With all that’s happening around us, what’s really scientific anymore?" Professor Xia sighed.
"That’s true."
Lin Fan nodded, indeed acknowledging that more and more unscientific occurrences were happening.
"Alright, I’ll continue to research during this period. If I make any discoveries, I’ll inform you imdiately."
"Okay."
Lin Fan left without disturbing Professor Xia’s continued research.
After all, research requires a quiet environnt, and having soone around could easily cause disruptions.
After Lin Fan left.
Professor Xia pondered, considering using mice for a live experint. If the mice absorbed a little bit of that liquid, what might happen?
However, he worried about sothing uncontrollable occurring.
"Oh dear, I should have asked Xiao Fan to wait a mont. If sothing really goes wrong, Xiao Fan can handle it. No, I’d better have Xiao Fan co back first."
Having said that, he took out his phone.
Lin Fan, who had just left, returned under Professor Xia’s phone call.
"Sorry to trouble you."
"Professor Xia, what are you saying? It’s no problem. You boldly and confidently conduct your research. I can handle anything that cos up."
Lin Fan confidently patted his chest, firmly assuring that there would be no problem.
After all, he wanted to convey this confidence to Professor Xia.
To let Professor Xia proceed with his work without reservation.
Very soon.
A little white mouse in a cage appeared.
The little white mouse scurried around the cage, its tiny eyes curiously surveying its surroundings, full of interest in everything around it, though it didn’t yet know it had beco a test subject.
What awaited it was an unknown future.
Professor Xia injected the liquid of the unknown substance into breadcrumbs, then used tweezers to pinch and throw it into the cage.
The little white mouse, catching a whiff of the bread’s aroma, was very excited. It didn’t expect that turning in circles would actually lead to food, such a lucky occurrence. With little paws, it quickly moved to the breadcrumbs, stretched out its fore paws, grabbed the breadcrumbs, and enjoyed them heartily.
Professor Xia and Lin Fan watched without blinking.
Hoping sothing would happen.
"Professor Xia, what do you think will happen later?" Lin Fan asked curiously.
"I don’t know."
"Will this little white mouse swell up and turn into a monster?"
Professor Xia looked at Lin Fan, "I don’t know."
"Oh."
While they were talking, the little white mouse in the cage suddenly changed, its body seed to stiffen, and in an instant, it began to roll around in the cage.
It looked as if it was in pain.
