implication [end times]

He Rongsheng and Xiao Wang, who is a technical engineer next door, were in charge of the night's duty. They stared wide-eyed and checked the surveillance cameras near the community school, trying to find any trace of Xu Pei'er.

When He Rongsheng was about to stick his face to the monitor, there was a knock on the office door.It's nine o'clock in the evening, and not long after the others left, he thought that someone had forgotten something, it was probably Li Shuxiu, so he drooped his head and went to open the door, but there were two very temperamental people in front of the door strange lady.

One standing in the front looked to be in his 30s, with thick curly tan hair, gold-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, and a bulging folder under one arm.Seeing He Rongsheng, she nodded with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "Hi, is this the tenth security team? I'm Yan Ai, and this is my assistant Shan Qun. I'm here to study the remains of the deceased in a mental hospital. Lou Yue from the inspection team should have communicated with you before."

The lady standing behind was in her twenties, with straight black hair pinned obediently behind her ears, without glasses, and with big eyes that were lively, she looked like a student still in an internship.She also held a stack of documents in her hand.

"Ah, yes, you're welcome, Professor, please come in." He Rongsheng swept away his depression, and politely invited him into the office, "You can call me Xiao He, we thought you were coming tomorrow morning, and we didn't make any preparations to welcome you." Work, sorry sorry."

As he said that, He Rongsheng was about to make tea for them, but Yan Ai stopped him with a smile.

"Don't bother Officer Xiao He." Yan Ai said, "I was doing business nearby with my colleagues just now, and the more I thought about it, the more I found it strange, so I came here directly. Don't worry about me, I'll just take a look first, otherwise it will always be Don't worry about it."

Just as He Rongsheng said some polite words, the door of the office opened again.It turned out that Captain Ding rushed over to help contact and sign after receiving the news.

When Yan Ai arrived at the forensic room, forensic doctor Xiao Wu and his assistant were frowning in the nearby laboratory.After opening the door, Xiao Wu jumped up from the bench and shook hands with Yan Ai excitedly: "Hi, Professor Yan Yanyan, I have heard you for a long time."

Yan Ai smiled and said, "You're too polite. How are you doing now?"

Ding Taitai briefly explained the situation to Xiao Wu, and signed the registration form for foreigners.Xiao Wu invited Yan Ai into the laboratory and said: "The autopsy has not been completed, but judging from the current situation, multiple organs in the deceased's body were necrotic, kidney and lung function failed, T cells proliferated in large numbers, and it was suspected of rejection. However, there were no traces of his organs being transplanted, and blood transfusion rejection was preliminarily ruled out. At present, we believe that the cause of death may be a viral infection... During the inspection process, we found two very suspicious RNA viruses in the cells of the deceased."

As Xiao Wu said, he led Yan Ai and Shan Qun to the workbench, and pointed them to the electron microscope on the table and the notebook filled with writing beside it.

"Both of these are droplet-shaped viruses, similar in shape, about 50 nanometers in diameter, and very ordinary in structure, but..."

Ding Taitai listened for a while, and he could only understand the beginning, but in the end it was like listening to heavenly scriptures. However, the system stipulated that foreign personnel should be accompanied all the way after entering the work area.He had no choice but to whisper to the casual assistant Shan Qun next to him: "What are they talking about now?"

Shan Qun thought for a while and concluded: "They suspect that the virus carried by the deceased caused him to split his personality."

Ding Taitai tried his best to collect the knowledge he had given back to the community school teachers: "Didn't you say that he was schizophrenic before? What is the relationship between these two splits? Can split personality be caused by viruses? Isn't a virus just a protein wrapped in nucleic acid that destroys Is the human immune function?"

Shanqun smiled and answered his questions one by one. Although she looked like a very young student, she spoke with a mature and calm demeanor: "schizophrenia is the separation of brain functions, often manifested as hallucinations. , cognitive impairment, etc.; split personality is a personality disorder, and you can also understand that there are multiple different souls in one body. The situation of the deceased should belong to the latter. At present, there is no relevant scientific research to prove that viruses can cause split personality , and their current guesses are based on a sensational but aborted experiment many years ago."

Shan Qun paused, his face unchanged, and then said: "Theoretically speaking, the code of memory is written in DNA, and the DNA sequence is changed by some substance, and the DNA then instructs the nerve cells to re-establish the network, and human memory can be Rewriting, certain concepts and opinions are the same. What Professor Yan and Forensic Doctor Wu are discussing is whether this substance is related to the newly discovered virus."

"I remember hearing in school before that a person's ideas and opinions are acquired, which are related to long-term education, living environment and experience. According to you, after a virus containing certain arrangement information infects a person, Will that person immediately change his original firm view?"

"The concept you mentioned belongs to long-term memory. After DNA is transcribed and expressed, neurons will form new synapses. In theory, the original memory will be replaced by the new genetic information brought by DNA, that is, concepts and Thinking changes."

"It's too scary," Ding Taitai hugged his strong arms tightly, "The original thoughts and memories have been tampered with, can that person still be the original self?"

This time the single group paused for a longer time, her eyes scanned Yan Ai in front of her who was concentrating on observing the electron microscope in a complicated manner, and then quickly slipped away, her smile was far less natural than before: "This is a philosophical question, I'm afraid I can't answer it .”

The conversation with Yan Ai came to an end, because the experimental equipment in the Security Bureau was limited, she wanted to bring some samples back to the research institute.

"There are cryo-electron microscopes and DNA analyzers in the research institute. May I take some samples with me? Do I need to wait a few days for the approval process?"

Ding Taitai said: "No, just register and sign. Captain Lou told our leader today that you might take away the samples. I'll go to the leader tomorrow to make up the approval form."

Yan Ai and Xiao Wu were preparing things when there was a hasty knock on the door.Ding Taitai opened the door, and there was an anxious He Rongsheng at the door: "Captain Ding, I received an alarm, and there was a large-scale riot on Baihua Road! They are coming here all the way. Those people are wearing sea-blue robes and holding weapons. Members of the association like I said before. Ran Yu's communicator has been unable to dial!"

At the same time, the communicator on Ding Taitai's wrist rang, and he pressed the answer button, and the urgent voice of the captain of the Operation Corps of the Third Ring Security Bureau came from inside: "Mrs. Ding, there is a riot near Baihua Road, and they are coming towards the intersection of Gingko Road , Call your team members, bring your equipment, and come to support quickly! I will send you the address."

Generally speaking, the work of suppressing riots is done jointly by the Action Corps and the City Defense Army. Now that the members of the ordinary detachments are temporarily mobilized, it seems that the scale of the riots is indeed not small.

Ding Taitai tapped twice impatiently on the edge of the communicator, and then said in a deep voice, "Ask Xiao Wang to help you find out the location. There are locators in the communicators for military and police personnel. I will notify Zhan Yiye and Li Shuxiu now, and then go to Prepare your equipment and drive, and gather at the door in 5 minutes."

"Yes!" He Rongsheng turned around and ran away.

Ding Taitai turned around and said to Yan Ai and the others: "It's probably very chaotic outside now, you guys stay here first, and go out when the situation stabilizes."

Yan Ai and the others nodded.Only then did Ding Taitai make big strides, and went to the warehouse to look for anti-riot equipment while dialing.

When Ding Taitai drove to the gate, other detachments also assembled. A row of black anti-riot vehicles parked neatly at the gate of the police station and started one after another.

"The locator is damaged. The last location is near No. 12 Baihua Road, where the riot took place." He Rongsheng got into the anti-riot vehicle, his voice trembling slightly, "He will be fine..."

"You'll only find out if you have to see the scene." Ding Taitai sighed in the dark car, held the steering wheel tightly, and drove into the traffic.

Ran Yu was mixed in a group of extremely emotional people, and it was difficult for him to display his skills.

There are more and more people parading and looting in the street.Seeing that they had already passed the intersection of Baihua Road and Gingko Road, and came to the more prosperous Ginkgo Road, the most excited people in the team held iron bars and wooden sticks on the street and smashed whatever they saw without any scruples. The more powerful they are, the more excited they are.Brand-new vehicles were smashed into scrap iron, neat and beautiful glass cabinets were smashed, and expensive clothes and food were thrown on the ground and trampled.If it wasn't for someone holding up a blood-red slogan "Abolish v-point, regain human rights" every once in a while, Ran Yu really wouldn't know what they were doing.

Maybe they don't even know what they're doing.

The ones walking on the periphery of the team seemed to be the organizers. They worked together to carry a large basket containing blue robe masks and weapons.Passers-by would be caught asking if they agreed to abolish the v-spot, and if so, they would hand them out so they could join the parade.If he didn't agree, the others beat him with sticks until he agreed.

The team snowballed and grew bigger and bigger. Ran Yu found that after wearing masks, the newcomers were often more excited than the old members and beat harder.He mixed in the crowd, wanting to walk slowly to the edge, looking for opportunities to go to the police station to contact his colleagues.

Suddenly someone pushed Ran Yu's shoulder. It was the voice of a strange young man with a high tone: "Brother, why don't you raise your weapon? Why aren't you active?"

There were more than a dozen people around who heard the voice, the black mask was facing him, and the eyes behind the mask were staring at him.

Crowds filled the streets, and it was difficult for Ran Yu, who was trapped in the crowd, to break out of the encirclement no matter how hard he fought.So he raised the iron rod in his hand, and shouted like others: "Abolish v-spot!"

"Abolish v-spot!" The blue robes who didn't know before and after were also shouting, and the voice became louder and louder.

But soon, this slogan was drowned out by another loud bang.After the loud noise, the crowd burst into jubilation again.

Ran Yu raised his head and looked forward, and as far as he could see was a collapsed low-rise commercial building.The front of the crowd has arrived near No. 23 Gingko Road. I don’t know how many people climbed up the decayed load-bearing wooden beams, swung a few sticks and hacked a few axes. The messy building blocks were crowded together. The store finally collapsed.

Among the dust and debris that covered the sky, the neon light flickered sadly a few times, but it still turned into a piece of dead ashes, like a giant beast that has struggled several times after being hunted and killed and finally closed its eyes.
