Wang Yilin continued to walk, and those murals began to become more strange and difficult to identify, Wang Yilin was already not going to look at them, but after Wang Yilin glanced at them inadvertently, Wang Yilin was surprised to find that many of them appeared in his father's notebook!

Wang Yilin began to be more convinced that his father's affairs were closely related to them, so Wang Yilin accelerated his pace.

After Wang Yilin walked for a full ten minutes, Wang Yilin came to the end: in front of an iron door.

This basement is dug very deep, and there may be some hidden secrets in it. There was a walkie-talkie on the door, and just when Wang Yilin wanted to use it, the door opened by itself.

What Wang Yilin saw next can be called extremely shocking.

This basement is surprisingly spacious, at first glance it seems to be the size of a football field, and this is just the hall, Wang Yilin also saw that there were countless doors on the wall, and who knew where those doors led? What shocked Wang Yilin even more was that in the middle of the entire hall, there was a thick hollow glass column, which was filled with some kind of transparent liquid, and the bubbles kept churning up from the bottom, which were collected into many air ducts on the top, but only one seemed to be passable. Around that glass pillar is a circle of electronic devices, flashing with various colored lights, and the screen displays various waveforms, dot grids, and spectrums. And around that circle of equipment is another circle of larger things, some like wardrobes, some like milling machines, some like nuclear magnetic resonance machines, but more are unknown to Wang Yilin, and also have dazzling dashboards and screens showing strange images.

Wang Yilin walked around them, curiously guessing their purpose. Wang Yilin remembered the contents of his father's notebook, could this be a secret underground physics research institute? Could it be some secret experiment? What does it have to do with Wang Yilin, a layman? Wang Yilin thought about this, and didn't notice that a door next to him actually opened.

When Wang Yilin found it, Wang Yilin had already walked to the opposite side of it. Wang Yilin went back, looked at the corridor, thinking about where it would lead, and moved his feet involuntarily. At the end of the corridor was another door, when Wang Yilin walked to the door, it opened automatically, and inside was a dimly lit room, with only a few pieces of equipment simply placed, but there was still a workbench in the middle. There seemed to be no lights in the room, only the faint glow from the instruments kept the room from the darkness.

A person came out from behind the door opposite Wang Yilin, but there was a workbench in the middle, and Wang Yilin couldn't see his appearance clearly. Before Wang Yilin could speak, he had already begun to introduce himself:

"I'm glad you're here, we're going to be very grateful to you, first of all I'm going to — oh yes, I'm the president of the Association of Counselors." With that, he stretched out his right hand.

Out of politeness, Wang Yilin also stretched out his hand. When touching his palm, Wang Yilin felt the touch when he touched the stone, which made Wang Yilin feel shocked. At the same time, Wang Yilin can clearly feel that his hands are very old, and his skin is dry and inelastic, like a puddle of soft plasticine.

"Do you have a special feeling?" He pushed me a chair and asked.

"Feeling special? I want to think about it......" Wang Yilin pretended to think for a while and said, "No." ”

"Really, not?" He continued.

"Hmm. If I had to say the difference, it would be that your hands feel old. Wang Yilin is still a little wary of him.

Although Wang Yilin couldn't see the expression on his face clearly, Wang Yilin still felt that he seemed to laugh because Wang Yilin heard a slight snort.

"What are you doing here?" Wang Yilin asked.

"As you can see - the BUG Research Center." He paused, "Or - non-bug research center." ”

"Study what?"

"Well...... I'm afraid you won't believe it, so I'll show you it for myself first. ”

As he spoke, he turned on a wall lamp, and under the lamp was a transparent cage with a medium-sized white rabbit that threaded a wire—or tube—through the rabbit's back, which could move freely with the rabbit. The wire was connected to a machine, he dialed the data for a while, and then started it.

"Look at this rabbit." He said.

Wang Yilin looked at the rabbit and felt that it had no obvious reaction, still walking quietly in the cage, eating grass from time to time, and its two ears were also erected high, although it was not cute, but it was not ugly.

Three minutes passed, and the rabbit still didn't react. Wang Yilin was very puzzled, and just wanted to ask him, he saw him motioning for Wang Yilin to continue staring.

Another three minutes passed, and the rabbit was still the same in Wang Yilin's opinion, except that the frequency of walking was lower, everything else was as usual.

"I don't see any results."

"Look at its ears."

Wang Yilin observed the rabbit and found that its ears were a little drooping by a third. Just as Wang Yilin was about to speak, Wang Yilin noticed that its eyes seemed to be unable to open, some were closed, and the eyeballs were a little cloudy.

"It's aging at an accelerated rate."

Just as Wang Yilin was thinking about the reason, he gave the answer directly.

Accelerating aging? After hearing this, Wang Yilin was excited, and instantly remembered all kinds of things about his father.

"This ...... What's going on? Wang Yilin's voice trembled a little.

"Come, sit down first, I'll tell you slowly." He brought the chair over, and Wang Yilin sat down facing the rabbit.

"Organisms all age, except for a few rare examples, such as lighthouse jellyfish, as long as they are cellular organisms, will inevitably die eventually. Except for unnatural deaths, according to people's current living conditions, the vast majority of people can live to be over 50 years old, which is actually very low.

"But some people around the world have found that some people around the world die very early, and to what extent? The most extreme one died at the age of seventeen. Note that I'm talking about natural death, not accidents. ”

"Can you imagine? While peers are enjoying the excitement of youth, some have to face the pain of aging early and live a life of old age. This phenomenon is not unique and has aroused the interest of medical scientists.

"At first, people attributed this phenomenon to the medical realm, and a lot of experiments were done to try to improve the understanding or uncover the truth, but then people realized that their efforts were in vain. There are too many studies in the world that do not produce results, and even if it fails, it will always bring some other results, so why is it in vain? Because their research direction is fundamentally wrong.

"It is very difficult to study the mechanism of aging in organisms, and there have been people in the world for more than 300 years to study this topic, but there is no result. People want to be the first one after another, but nature doesn't favor them because of their efforts. Later, people gradually discovered that this mystery was like God had covered up for them, and no one had really been able to unravel it.
