Even though it is late at night, the lights in the research building are never extinguished, and countless researchers work day and night in everything from advanced computer science to basic agricultural science. Although they seem eccentric and unkempt because they are out of society, Rentaro still admires them from the bottom of his heart. In an era when everyone is focused on the present, it is probably only this group of scholars who will look to the future.

Rentaro was one of the people he wanted to visit, but unlike the others, her research room was not set up in a spacious and bright research building, but in the basement of an affiliated hospital, next to the morgue.

"Hey, Rentaro." Tian Tong Mu looked at the increasingly gloomy environment around him, pulled the sleeve of the boy in front of him with some uneasiness, and whispered: "Although I have spoken to that doctor on the phone many times, is there really anyone who will be in the company of corpses in such a place where there is no light of day?" ”

Rentaro shrugged his shoulders and said, "According to Doctor Sumire, there are only two kinds of people in this world, those who have died and those who are about to die, and the so-called corpse is just another form of life in her eyes. ”

"It's a strange statement." Tian Tongmu rubbed his eyebrows even more distressedly: "It's like a religious speech, it's not at all like what a top materialist scholar should say." ”

"Probably." Rentaro also said helplessly: "Doesn't it mean that none of those top scientists have become staunch 'theists' in the end? Probably Dr. Sumire is the same...... It's here! ”

Tian Tongmu looked up even more, almost screaming out without fright, perhaps to drive away the idlers, the door in front of him was carved with exaggerated demon statues, and with this dark and cramped corridor, it could be used directly as a horror movie shooting scene.

Rentaro was not surprised, he was very familiar with pushing open the door, and a strong smell of mint aroma wafted from it. The interior is dim but surprisingly open, and the floor is covered with green tiles, making it creepy like an operating room where illegal activities are carried out. But if you look closely, you can see underwear, lunch boxes, and blackboards written all over the table that I don't know if it's German or what language, and there is a little bit of life floating in general.

The key question is, what about the owner of this space?

"Doctor, where are you?" Rentaro asked loudly.

"Here." The voice of sickness rang in my ears.

Rentaro looked back in the direction where the voice came from, and was taken aback.

Deep sunken dark eye sockets and a sturdy nude body over 180 tall. The shaved head was covered in blood and scars from the skin that had been removed. It is the corpse of a man that Rentaro does not know at all.

"Hello!" Although it seemed that the unlucky guy in front of him was making a sound, Rentaro knew that the corpse could not speak.

Sure enough, a familiar figure dressed in white emerged from behind the corpse, and Rentaro let out a sigh of relief and said with a headache: "Doctor, don't scare me!" ”

"Welcome to hell, Rentaro-san!" The woman opens her hands in exaggerated movements, pretending to be the lord of hell to make a welcome. She wore a floor-length white robe over the tight skirt of her casual clothes, her skin was sickly pale, and her presence was thin, more like a ghost obsessed with the mortal world than the lord of hell. The long untreated hair is messy, and the excessively long bangs cover half of the eyes, but on closer inspection, she is a high-scoring beauty.

This is the target of Rentaro and Tendo Kisara's visit, Sumire Muroto, the head of this forensic science classroom and a researcher of protozoviruses, the world's top kind!

Having said that, this guy is also a heavy family squat, and if she is left alone, as long as the food reserves are enough, she will never move the nest...... In fact, even if she ran out of food, she would rather faint from hunger than move her nest, and Rentaro had saved this woman's life more than once...... With takeout and pizza and things like that.

"Speaking of which, who is this man?" Rentaro pointed to the corpse and asked helplessly.

"I forgot my real name, now his name is Charlie and he's my boyfriend."

"Well, wasn't there a guy named Susan before?"

It's a pity that she is no longer there, there is no feast in the world, and there are many helpless things in the world. So now it's him, the corpse is very good, he doesn't talk nonsense, and he can understand my feelings. As she spoke, the woman who was a heavy necrophilia lovingly rubbed her face against the corpse that had been embalmed.

Although he was too lazy to care about her, Rentaro still raised his arm to wipe the cold sweat on his head.

Either way, let's get down to business and get out of here! Thinking of this, Rentaro hurriedly said, "Doctor, Sister Kisagi and I came to visit you today to ask you about the 'Seven Star Legacy'......"

"I heard you took down a Scorpio?" Sumire Muroto interrupted him without waiting for him to finish, but asked with interest, "I heard that you used your prosthetic leg as a cannonball and gave Scorpio a hard blow." Haha, take down Stage 5 with Righteous Rocket Flying Punch, Rentaro Are You a Super Robot Cartoon Too Watched? ”

"I'm here to save the entire Tokyo area, and I'm your savior, so I shouldn't be teased by you unscrupulously anyway!" Rentaro said with a headache: "And I want to repeat again, I didn't defeat Scorpio, it was a god who defeated Scorpio, you should have read the report, the ladder runs directly through Scorpio's brain, this is the real reason for its death!" ”

Muroto Sumire smiled slightly, noncommittal, but suddenly asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

"What?" Rentaro was a little out of tune.

"I mean, dinner, have you eaten?"

"Well, not yet...... I've been a bit busy lately......"

"Let's try my original cuisine!"

Sumire Muroto stood up and took out the dishes from the microwave and tore off the plastic wrap. At first glance, it looks like pure white porridge, but it is semi-solid like oatmeal. When you scoop up a spoonful with a spoonful, it will make a sound that should be described as sticky, and you can faintly see the tiny particles of bright silver inside, and you can also smell a rancid smell...... What the hell is this?

Although he wanted to stay calm, beads of sweat poured out of Rentaro's face.

"I'm sorry, Kigen, I didn't prepare your share." Sumire Muroto shrugged her shoulders even more regretfully at Tendo Ki.

"No, it's okay! I happened to be losing weight recently...... "The corners of Tiantong Mu's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly waved his hand, but he was shouting luck in his heart.

"Say, speak...... I've been losing weight lately......" Rentaro carefully put down the plate, as if he was holding a bioweapon instead of food.

"If you don't eat, I won't say anything." Sumire Muroto said slowly.

Rentaro's face fell, and he looked at Tiantong Kigen for help, but the other party looked away without righteousness.

Women are really unreliable at critical moments! Rentaro, who had such a feeling, looked at the food in his hand in despair, as if he was laughing at him, and a bubble appeared on the surface of the food.

Fight! There's no reason why I, who have retreated in front of Scorpio, would die in front of a small plate of food! With a fighting mentality, Rentaro puts the food in his mouth.

The food is surprisingly delicious...... It's strange, there is no such dream-like ending at all!

Now it is as if a revolution has erupted in Rentaro's mouth, and the pain of having his tongue pierced and the inhumane destruction of his taste buds are taking turns!

"Goooh, my throat is so itchy!"

"How's it going, is it delicious?"

"Do I look like I think it's delicious......"

Sumire Muroto uses her thumb and forefinger to construct the camera's viewfinder, and her eyes look inside, letting out a low moan of "uh-huh.......

"If I were a photographer, I would call this picture 'Bitterness—Between Hell and Purgatory.'"

"Not only is it sweet and tooth loss, but it is also sour and disgusting, and there are hard particles in it, and my teeth are almost broken! What the hell is this? ”

"Well, although it's almost melting, most of it is a doughnut, which came out of Charlie's stomach."

Rentaro covered his mouth.

"The sink is over there, don't stain my floor."

"Woo, huh!" Rentaro lay on the edge of the pool, spit out all the food he had just eaten, and the whole person seemed to have suffered spiritual pollution, and said with a pale face: "Doctor, what do I have a grudge against you......

"Haha, isn't it something that humans can eat?" Sumire Muroto laughed guiltily a few times, then opened a curtain where the corpse named Charlie lay there.

"My Charlie was weird when he was sent in." Sumire Muroto said to herself, "The police officer who accompanied me said to me, 'This guy is a madman who has eaten a stomach full of can pull rings,' and X-rays confirmed this. Probably another idiot driven crazy by reality, I thought at the time. In his stomach, I found a bunch of half-digested pull tabs, and a couple of doughnuts that couldn't be seen in their original shape, and then I found something interesting, guess what? ”

"What?"

Sumire Muroto chuckled and continued, "Charlie, I didn't die because I swallowed a bunch of rings. In fact, on the contrary, those donuts were the real cause of his death. ”

"How so?" Rentaro and Tendo Kigen both had the expression of listening to the book of heaven, and it was okay to eat a bunch of pull rings, but they were killed by a few doughnuts, isn't this really a story in the Arabian Nights?

"I was just as curious as you were." Sumire Muroto shrugged, turned on the computer and displayed a set of anatomical data, and then explained, "Later, after more detailed testing, I found out that Charlie's digestive system has undergone strange mutations, simply put, the metal pull ring is his food, and the doughnut cannot be digested." He swallowed the doughnut presumably like a human swallowed a few lumps of iron, so death was not at all surprising. ”

"Transformed? Or is it an enterovirus? Tiantong Mu asked tentatively.

But Muroto Sumire didn't answer, but called up another X-ray and said to the two, "This is another body, and because it's a police officer, it didn't stay with me." The cause of his death was even more bizarre, he suddenly had three more bullets in his brain, no external injuries, as if a 'whoosh' appeared out of thin air. In addition to his brain, the other organs and limbs of his body also showed the same situation, as if there was an invisible hand that passed directly through his flesh and put a bullet into his body. ”

Goosebumps appeared on Tendo Kigen's skin, and he involuntarily leaned a few steps towards Rentaro's side. Talking about this kind of "supernatural event" in this dimly lit place is really heartbreaking.

"Are you scared?" Sumire Muroto sat on the chair, her long legs wrapped in black silk overlapped, she propped her hands on her chin, and said with a smile: "The truth of the Seven Star Legacy is ten thousand times more terrifying, are you sure you want to listen?" ”

Rentaro and Tendo Ki glanced at each other, their hands clasped tightly, and then nodded and said, "Yes, please tell us!" ”
