Behind the gate was a closed corridor, Xu Rui followed the young man who led the way all the way inside, and seemed to be very familiar with everything here, only Li Kuang, who came here for the first time, looked around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

After a while, the three of them came to a spacious room, and the young man who led the way saluted Xu Rui, and then turned into the compartment on the side.

The room was empty, and there seemed to be nothing but two pieces of clothing hanging on the wall.

Li Kuang looked at everything around curiously and asked, "What kind of place is this?" ”

Xu Rui took off the two clothes hanging on the wall and hurriedly put them on his body, the clothes were pure white, and the shape was very unique, like a hemp bag covering people from head to toe, leaving only the position of the two eyes.

"This is the isolation and disinfection room before entering the pathology laboratory."

Xu Rui explained, putting on a special protective suit and protective glasses made of glass and rubber for Li Kuang, and then picked up a sprayer to spray a liquid on the two of them.

"What is this?"

Li Kuang subconsciously covered his nose to block the pungent smell of the spray.

"Disinfectant water."

Xu Rui said a simple word, then opened the heavy wooden door beside him and took Li Kuang to the real pathology laboratory.

The doors and windows of the laboratory are sealed, and only a few skylights for lighting are opened overhead, and the skylights are all covered by glass grilles, so there is no need to worry about the spread of the virus.

Li Kuang looked towards the laboratory, and saw rows of workbenches inside, on which there were countless bottles and cans that he had never heard of.

These bottles and jars are all glass products, some are colorless and transparent, while others are tan and have a light-blocking effect.

"You kid, when will you stop bothering my old man?"

Just as Li Kuang was amazed, there was a sudden impatient sound from behind the shelf where the reagents were placed, and then a person like them was covered with a "sack".

Li Kuang finally recognized that person was Mr. Changpo, a famous doctor who is now famous throughout the country, and was about to greet him, but saw that Xu Rui had already walked to Mr. Changpo's side in a big way.

"I know you've done the test early in the morning, so show me the results."

Xu Rui said thoughtlessly.

"What test?"

Li Kuang, who didn't know why, asked inexplicably, but Xu Rui and Mr. Changpo ignored him.

Since he became obsessed with modern medicine, Mr. Changpo's temperament has become more and more eccentric, and he seems to have no interest in anything other than studying medicine, and Xu Rui has become one of the few people who can meet him.

Mr. Changpo glanced at Xu Rui when he heard this, and said angrily: "Follow me." ”

With that, Mr. Changpo led the two to a microscope and gave up the observation position to Xu Rui.

Xu Rui didn't hesitate to go up and take a look.

Mr. Changpo explained: "When I first went to treat the saint, I observed his saliva and blood samples and found that his illness was caused by a strange virus.

This virus is very peculiar, it is not highly pathogenic, and it has not been found to be contagious, but it is able to fool the body's immune system so that the body cannot destroy the virus on its own.

Infection with this virus can lead to the gradual loss of function of the body, the appearance of bodily dysfunction, such as high fever, coma, erythema and many other complications, and finally the patient will die of organ failure or other infections caused by the collapse of immunity.

However, as it stands, this process will last at least three to four years, which is quite a long time compared to the virulent virus.

In addition, this virus is different from the virus recorded in the theory book you gave me, and it is a new virus that I discovered, but I don't know if you have ever seen it. ”

Mr. Changpo finished his words in one breath, and Xu Rui basically finished his observation and left the microscope thoughtfully.

"What do you mean by that?"

Li Kuang frowned when he heard this: "Could it be that after being infected with this virus, it is equivalent to being poisoned by chronic poison and will definitely die?" ”

Mr. Changpo put his hands behind his back and said lightly: "It's a pity that there is no specific medicine for this virus at present, that is, your emperor is dead." ”

Li Kuang was startled and suddenly looked at Xu Rui.

Xu Rui waved his hand, signaling him to be calm, and then shook his head at Mr. Changpo: "I haven't seen this virus either......"

Xu Rui only said half of this sentence, according to the perspective of biology and virus transmission, the virus can never come out of thin air, and patients will definitely come into contact with the virus if they want to be infected.

If there is contact with the virus, then the patient should not be the only one who is Emperor Hongwei, and none of the eunuchs and palace maids who do dirty work in the palace are infected, but only the most protected emperor is infected, which does not make sense at all.

Seeing Xu Rui's brows tightened, Mr. Changpo said, "You also think it's strange, right?" It's as if someone has poisoned someone, rather than a natural infection. ”

Xu Rui nodded, judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for the strange disease on Emperor Hongwei's body to be a natural infection, and the traces of man-made are too obvious.

In addition, such a powerful virus, but almost infectious, is contrary to the direction of the evolution of the virus, which is very likely to be the result of laboratory production.

To cultivate this virus, not only extremely demanding conditions are required, but also a high level of medical and biological knowledge, which should never be at a level that can be achieved in this world.

Xu Rui thought of the ruins buried in the grassland, and it was almost certain that this virus must have been created by some advanced civilization.

Then it means that Emperor Hongwei's strange illness is a conspiracy deliberately made by someone!

But he was more concerned about something else than this one at the moment.

Xu Rui took out a fine porcelain bowl from his arms and handed it to Mr. Changpo and said, "Help me see what is left here." ”

"What is this?"

Mr. Changpo took the porcelain bowl and asked suspiciously.

Xu Rui said: "This is the medicine bowl of the saint's medicine, after taking the medicine, the saint's condition has temporarily improved, I doubt that this medicine can inhibit the virus, Wang Shun said that this medicine is prescribed by you." ”

"Oh?"

Mr. Changpo was stunned for a moment, put the medicine bowl close to his nose and sniffed it: "It really smells like the old man's recipe, but that recipe is just an ordinary recipe for health and sleep, and it shouldn't have this effect, you wait, I'll analyze the things in it." ”

Without waiting for Xu Rui and Li Kuang to react, Mr. Changpo walked to another workbench with the medicine bowl.

Li Kuang glanced at Xu Rui, who had a solemn face, and finally understood the reason why he had brought him here.

There are two main reasons for the current complicated situation in the capital, one is the rebellion of the crown prince, and the other is the serious illness of Emperor Hongwei.

Xu Rui is now starting from Emperor Hongwei's illness, and it has been confirmed that there may be some conspiracy behind it, and if he can find some clues, he may be able to find out the black hand hidden behind the scenes.

And Xu Rui wants to investigate the case, so Li Kuang's help is naturally indispensable.

The two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, neither of them spoke, time seemed to stand still, waiting with bated breath for the results of Mr. Changpo's analysis.

I don't know how long it took, but Mr. Changpo finally stepped down from the workbench.

Xu Rui and Li Kuang hurriedly greeted them.

"The result?"

Xu Rui asked.

Mr. Changpo sneered: "The result is the same as I guessed, this is indeed the prescription I prescribed, and this prescription has absolutely no effect on inhibiting the virus, but I found a very interesting thing in the medicine bowl." ”

"What did you find?"

Xu Rui and Li Kuang asked in unison.
