Paranormal incident investigation notes

Lu Ming thought briefly about this issue. Then he realized something. At this time, Zhang Dingshan's further explanation also came to Lu Ming's ears.

"The building inspection team concluded that the internal materials of the Binhai Building's wall corroded too quickly, and the internal steel bars released too much stress at once, so the sound was louder."

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

This conclusion is consistent with his own speculation.

This is obviously not a good thing. If before this, the damage to the walls and overall structure of Binhai Building was only limited to the microscopic level and was not exposed on the surface, then at this moment, these damages were finally revealed through this unusually huge "crack" sound. in front of people.

An invisible sense of urgency seemed to arise from the void, tightly surrounding Lu Ming.

Although everyone had already reached an agreement on the current situation and made a clear judgment, at this moment, as if mumbling to himself, Lu Ming recounted this consensus again.

"We, we really need to hurry up."

In the earphones, Zhang Dingshan was silent for a moment, and finally uttered two words.

"Yes."

After cutting off the communication, Lu Ming sighed secretly and turned his attention to the monitoring screen again.

At this moment, the specimen collection operation is still in progress. The first batch of specimens had been sent to the simple but well-equipped biochemical laboratory, where Professor Shen and others began professional testing.

Under the microscope, in the culture fluid, in the microscopic world that people usually cannot detect, the hustle and bustle of the microbial world was truly presented to him.

All kinds of microorganisms, linear, punctate, cylindrical, large and small, ciliated, non-ciliated, cute looking, disgusting looking...

All kinds of microorganisms together constitute a huge and wonderful world.

Professor Shen recognized most of the microorganisms and remembered their names just by looking at them. At the same time, information about them also appeared in Professor Shen's mind one by one.

What kind of environment you like, harmful or harmless, size, use, etc. are all clear.

He observed carefully and carefully.

No matter how disdainful he was for the orders from that young man, when it came to work, he was still serious and meticulous.

This is his professional quality as a scientist and his professional ethics.

Under this circumstance, one specimen after another was eliminated, confirming that there were no unknown microorganisms.

Time passed bit by bit, and when the time reached the afternoon, outside the Binhai Building, at the temporary headquarters, Lu Ming's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

the reason is simple.

Although the entire testing operation has not yet been completed, so far, at least thousands of specimens collected from various places in the Marina Building have been tested and confirmed to be free of abnormalities.

This has basically confirmed that the brand-new microorganism he speculated does not exist.

If they really exist, how is it possible that thousands of specimens from different locations have failed to collect them?

This path also seems wrong.

He didn't want to follow up on what happened next.

If there are no abnormalities in the first half of the specimen, it is almost impossible to have abnormalities in the second half of the specimen.

At this moment, in the simple biochemistry laboratory in the lobby on the first floor of Binhai Building, Professor Shen stretched a little, soothed his tired body, and then devoted himself to the intense work again.

While observing the latest batch of microbial specimens collected, he suddenly made a different discovery.

Speaking of which, the specimens observed this time were actually no different from those before. They are all kinds of microorganisms, linear, dotted, spherical, cylindrical, all kinds.

But... among these microorganisms, a certain bacillus showed behavior that was inconsistent with Professor Shen's memory.

This bacillus is very common in nature. Except for people with extremely low immunity, such as those suffering from AIDS and other diseases, it usually does not cause disease and is basically harmless to the human body. Because it was relatively common, Professor Shen recognized it at a glance.

This bacillus cannot move, it has no ability to move, Professor Shen is sure of this. But at this moment, under the microscope, Professor Shen was surprised to see that this bacillus... was actually moving slowly.

After ruling out the possibility of external factors such as water flow and air flow, Professor Shen became even more surprised.

It moves very slowly. Even under the microscope, it only moved a little distance during the period of time Professor Shen observed it. If he hadn't happened to see it, perhaps Professor Shen would have simply ignored it.

However, no matter how slow it moves, it is still moving on its own. But how could it move on its own? How could its body structure have such ability?

Professor Shen subconsciously adjusted the magnification and observed the body details of the bacilli more carefully. So, after the body of this bacillus filled the entire field of vision, Professor Shen was slightly horrified to see that there were many fine cilia around the edges of this bacillus!

Obviously, these cilia act as the "feet" of this bacterium, giving it the ability to actively change its position and move slowly.

But how could this bacillus move?

Every year, I don’t know how many biologists, doctors, biology enthusiasts, biology undergraduates, master’s and doctoral students, etc., observe this bacillus through the lens of a microscope. If it really had cilia and could move itself with the help of cilia, it would have been discovered long ago and published in relevant scientific journals.

You know, this is a really big discovery. Master's and doctoral students can rely on this discovery to obtain diplomas, and biologists can rely on this discovery to obtain professional titles, obtain research funds and gain reputation.

Unless, unless...

The bacilli that I saw with my eyes at this moment were not the ones that I was familiar with in the past. It is a completely new species, and this bacillus only exists in a few special environments, such as the Marina Building at the moment.

Only in this way can we explain that it has not been discovered by anyone among the numerous studies and observations in the past.

Professor Shen suddenly felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart.

Such a huge discovery actually fell on him out of thin air!

But this joy only lasted for a moment. Because he suddenly realized that he was able to discover this brand-new strain of bacteria here because of the almost mandatory order of the young man he couldn't stand.

It seemed that... the young man had already expected that there might be some brand new species existing in the Marina Building.

"It turns out that I was sitting in a well watching the sky and misunderstood the young man."

Thinking back to the inexplicable solemn atmosphere of this mission, and recalling the bizarre rumors about Binhai Building that I had vaguely heard from online media in the past...

The joy in his heart disappeared instantly.

After calming down, he began to carefully observe the bacillus again, and appropriately zoomed in to observe the rest of the area.

With clear search criteria, he soon found this bacillus from other parts of the specimen.

He took back the specimens that had been tested before and re-examined them. He actually saw this bacillus in those specimens.

Obviously, because this bacilli moves slowly and its appearance is very similar to the common bacilli that exist widely, I had overlooked it before.

After gathering himself again, he looked at his colleagues.

"Lao Li, Lao Wang, Lao Zhang! I have made a discovery here."

After telling about their findings, colleagues began to search in a targeted manner. So a moment later, the biologist named Lao Li also shouted: "I have one here too!"

"I'm here too!"

"I saw it too!"

The exclamation from the video surveillance screen once again attracted Lu Ming, who had already turned his attention away.

"Professor Shen, Professor Wang, what did you see?"

Hearing Lu Ming's voice, Professor Shen felt a flash of guilt in his heart, and subconsciously slowed down his voice: "We suspect that we have discovered a brand-new bacteria. Well, further information needs to be obtained in a professional laboratory for further research. For testing, the equipment here is not complete. We must first try to create an environment suitable for its survival and reproduction, and expand the colony..."

Lu Ming felt the kindness in Professor Shen's words, but at the moment he was not in the mood to think about why Professor Shen's attitude changed.

He only noticed one thing.

Brand new bacteria!

A bacteria never discovered before!

Brand new bacteria discovered in Marina Tower!

Lu Ming made a quick decision and immediately issued a new order: "Okay, take the specimens to the professional laboratory now! If you need anything, make a list and I will get it for you immediately! You must find it out in the shortest possible time. Everything you need to know about this bacteria!”

If this brand-new bacterium is really the kind of bacterium that can secrete fear toxins as I speculated, then the investigation of the murderous house case will surely rise to a higher level again, and it will be one step closer to the truth. !

"We'll go immediately!"

Professor Shen agreed and left here.

But suddenly, Lu Ming remembered something again.

"Wait!" He stopped Professor Shen: "Add a photography device to the microscope to record the changes of this brand-new bacteria after it leaves the Marina Building!"

This slightly strange order made Professor Shen stunned for a moment.

He could not imagine the necessity of doing so. But because of a certain sense of guilt, he still followed Lu Ming's instructions.

So Lu Ming began to observe the status of the bacillus in real time through the monitoring screen.
