Chapter 7: The Old Man Who Hunted Ghosts
The winter in City C is very dark, and December is the time of heavy snowfall, and it snowed all night last night, and a layer of ice formed on the ground, and then covered with goose feather snow that is still flying, and generally nothing important, people will not go out.
All units have been suspended due to heavy snow warnings, Lu Xu has been working overtime for almost a month, and he and his colleagues are anxious about the experimental report to be submitted at the end of the year, and there is no progress at all.
Even with the rare vacation, he and his colleagues still need to work overtime in the lab.
Go to the lounge and make a cup of coffee, it's almost early in the morning. Lu Xu looked back at his colleague on the other side of the room, who had already fallen asleep in front of the computer, so he got up gently and went to the lounge.
There are many departments in the research institute in different fields, and the number of people in the Institute of Neuroscience, where Lu Xu is located, is not large, and most of the young generation who are assigned to the key laboratory are elite talents like Lu Xu.
The floor where Lu Xu is located belongs to the laboratory, and there are not many people, and there should be no one in the early morning.
There was a sound in the lounge.
Lu Xu was surprised, through the glass door, he saw an old man on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed and his head resting on the backrest.
On the table in front of him, a pile of documents was spread out, among which were several bags, which were top secret with seals.
Lu Xu didn't pay too much attention to those documents, his attention was on the old man on the sofa, he had heard of this gray-haired old man, except for a glance from afar, he had no chance to have such face-to-face contact.
This is the one sent down from the Central Academy, the old academician, Ning Alcohol.
Lu Xu stood outside the door, and after a flash of effort, Ning Yu opened his eyes, frowned at Lu Xu, and glared angrily, as if he was disturbed. Maybe it was Lu Xu's illusion, the anger in Ning Yu's eyes flashed, replaced by calm gentleness, he motioned for Lu Xu to come in and sit down, and sorted out the information in front of him.
Lu Xu grinned reflexively.
This is also Lu Xu's biggest characteristic, he is good at showing his simple side, and his seemingly harmless smile makes it easy for people to take off their guard.
Even those who are engaged in academics are inevitably tainted with some tackiness in bureaucracy, and Lu Xu will inevitably be complimented after sitting down opposite Ning Alcohol.
Although the technique he complimented was really poor, fortunately, Ning Ol kept nodding and smiling, and did not show displeasure.
That's right, I wear a thousand clothes, but I don't wear a sycophant. Lu Xu thought to himself.
"Academician Ning, it's so late, and you are still working overtime, it's really hard."
Ning Ol still didn't speak, and nodded with a smile.
Lu Xu has a characteristic, that is, he habitually pleases others, especially in such a competitive environment where he eats people and does not spit out bones, he is even more unwilling to offend anyone who is more qualified than himself, which is also a big reason why he can become the head of the key laboratory.
But the old man in front of him, no matter what he said, he didn't talk to him, and it was a bit embarrassing to talk like this.
Lu Xu suddenly had a flash of inspiration, which could definitely arouse Ning Yu's interest.
I don't know what kind of ghost sent God, so he told Luo Yang's story and discernment.
As expected, Ning Alcohol listened carefully and looked very focused, showing a contemplative expression from time to time.
Lu Xu didn't expect anything to protect the patient's privacy or not, and the broken mouth was really vividly reflected in him.
"They all say that you are an expert in schizophrenia," Lu Xu hid the rumor that he could catch ghosts in his heart, "You said that my friend, can he still be saved?" It's a special kind of schizophrenia, right? I told him that normal people have no way to take care of themselves at his stage, but this guy is alive and well. ”
"How old is your friend?"
"I'm the same age, 26."
"26 years old...... His symptoms are really peculiar. "It's not without precedent, when I was in the main hospital, I came into contact with similar patients, but it was many years ago. ”
"It's still that you're experienced and well-informed, and it's so strange for a newcomer like us to hear this kind of case."
"I heard that the medicine you prescribed to him now has the effect of easing his mood, is the effect of his taking good?"
"Hey! I just took some inhibitors from Dr. Liu that she just developed, where can it have any effect, I specially mentioned you to Dayang, saying that you are an expert in this field, and I just hope that you can take the time to show him. ”
Ning Ol nodded, did not answer, and did not answer Lu Xu's question.
Lu Xu felt that he might be too reckless in his words, and he said something wrong, which made the academician unhappy. Or maybe it's for some other reason, I haven't realized it yet, and I always feel uneasy in my heart, and I hurriedly want to change the subject.
Ning Ol finally spoke first.
"Look at the information in my hand, this is not a document issued by our hospital."
Only then did Lu Xu pay attention to the pile of documents. English and Chinese are mixed together, this is a document of an international academic organization!
"Yes, it's confidential." Ning Yu looked at Lu Xu's surprised expression and said with a smile.
Listening to his tone, there was no sense of secrecy.
"Siai Group, how much do you know?" Ning Alcohol continued to ask.
Lu Xu was even more confused, not knowing what Ning Yu wanted to say.
In the field of biotechnology and physical technology research, Ace Group is well known in the industry, since the 80s of the last century, the successful research and development of various scientific and technological products, for the international medical cause, has made great contributions, and some international power organizations, have close cooperation. The international status of the field of academic research is unshakable.
Although Lu Xu is arrogant, he still understands some rules in the industry.
He had already seen the information in front of Ning Ol, and roughly guessed the source of this information, and now Ning Ol asked himself like this, saying that he didn't know anything about this group, it was an obvious lie, although it was safe, it was inevitable that it would be easy to miss some opportunities, and he couldn't keep Qi Ning Ol had any good projects in his hands, but if he knew everything, he was too unreliable, so he could only pick out what he knew and say something irrelevant.
Thinking of this, Lu Xu smiled and continued to show the innocent appearance of harmlessness of humans and animals.
"I've learned a little, but not much." He saw that Ning Alcohol didn't react, and continued: "In our professional field of psychopsychiatry, it doesn't seem to be so famous. ”
Ning Yu smiled and took over: "How can a truly powerful talent be attracted by worldly interests? Fame and fortune are mostly a burden for them. ”
Ning Ol paused, as if recalling some long and heavy past. "The way of the world has changed, and the four loves have also changed."
The appearance of words in Ning Alcohol's words made Lu Xu even more puzzled. "Academician Ning, do you have any relationship with Siai in the past?"
"Ah, it's all in the past, so don't mention it."
Lu Xu naturally also felt that Ning Yu didn't plan to continue to say more, and the broken mouth of the fate made him uncontrollably explain all those things about himself.
"Actually, I won't tell you, before I came to our hospital, I submitted a resume to Siai, but then there was no news, haha, it's a pity."
"You kid, you're not honest, haha," Ning smiled heartily, "It's okay, when I have the opportunity, I'll take you to do the project of the four loves." ”
"That's a real pleasure! Thank you, Academician Ning! "Lu Xu couldn't be happier." Then I won't bother you, I have to go back first. ”
Lu Xu walked out of the lounge with a smile, and Ning Yu watched him leave, his eyes thoughtful.
