In Dorothy's mouth, "virus", "Jiang", "LCL", "Takakawa", and other patients with doomsday syndrome form a very close connection, and in this connection, "Takagawa" and "Jiang" are the closest to the source of all malignant beings that can be observed. Compared with the unobservability and theoretical doubts of the "virus", it is of course more reliable to start with the material information that people can see and touch. However, when it comes to how much progress Dorothy has made in her research on "Jiang", the other party is vague, showing an attitude of "although there is a clear goal, everything has just begun". Although he wants to think of the other party more darkly, such as some hateful conspiracy theories, but now that he has nothing, it is impossible to fight alone, he can only believe what Dorothy says - whether Dorothy has other thoughts in private, whether she has something to hide and deceive.

What's more, the study of his own state made Buzuofu realize that he had to find something to do, to think about something else, and let himself fall into a busyness that was not so easy to think. All the thinking about the "virus" is already an extremely dangerous thing for me. The ever-expanding and uncontrollable thoughts and emotions clearly made him feel like he was falling into an abyss. He had seen enough of the deterioration of the mental state of the patients with doomsday syndrome in the past, and he would usually show pity for these patients, but now he felt uncomfortable at the thought that he was going to become the object of his pity in the past.

"If you didn't say 'something that only exists in Takakawa'......" Busakuo didn't continue, he wanted to avoid the word "virus" anyway.

"Only a part of it has been found, and the 'river' in Gao Chuan's body is the source of the secondary infection, but just like the quantum theory, in the absence of a decisive premise, it cannot be regarded as the truth at all." Dorothy made the analogy: "You know that, right? Quantum theory is a theory that has always been in a hypothetical state, not an empirical theory, and it may be able to explain many phenomena theoretically, and it also allows people to see the potential of the grand unification theory, but from the basis of the theory, it has never been fully proven, and is more like a philosophy. I believe that our results are meaningful, successful, and have potential, just as researchers of quantum theory are willing to believe in quantum theory. ”

"Because the quantum can't be proven?" Busakuo is no stranger to Dorothy's words, "Suppose that everything in this world will have a minimum basic unit that cannot be divided after physical quantization—this is the basis for the establishment of quantum theory." In other words, your work carries equal weight to this more philosophically significant foundation? ”

"Yes." Dorothy replied without hesitation.

"It's none of the business with me, I'm not an expert in physics." He didn't want to think too deeply about things, and he didn't try to deny any theory he knew. All doubts can trigger psychotic symptoms in people with doomsday syndrome, especially when it comes to their own inherent cognition, and the feeling that the mind is expanding and the world is collapsing will be extremely strong, and only one feels that death cannot be freed from that pain.

"According to you, 'Jiang' is as dangerous as 'virus', and in terms of its ultimate impact on patients, it is even more deadly, because it can completely collapse the nature and structure of LCL, and completely destroy the patient's self-information." Buzuofu said: "So, from your point of view, is 'Jiang' the source of the serum, or the alienation of the 'virus'? He wanted to confirm Dorothy's attitude towards 'Jiang', after all, Dorothy's statement before was too ambiguous, and there was nothing wrong with it in normal times, but now there is no such ambiguous time. In the eyes of the husband himself, he will either thoroughly regard "Jiang" as an antidote to the "virus" or "Jiang" as a new virus that aids and abets abuse. The things that need to be done to treat the former and the latter look similar, but in fact there are many differences in the details.

Although this is extreme, once the goal is confirmed, the direction is determined, and the direction is exceeded, it may be possible to catch up with the "end of the world" that is already faintly visible.

Although there is still a theoretical time left before the estimated end deadline, the husband does not dare to pin his hopes on the remaining time that only the theory holds.

Theories are always just theories, and the predictions made according to theories are often different from the actual situation, and often become worse than you think.

Dorothy was silent for a moment in response to the question, and then said in a creepy calm tone: "I have always believed that Jiang is a manifestation of the virus, a part of it that can be observed by humans under special circumstances; It may also be the bait of the virus, the organ used by the virus to feed, or a child of the virus, or even the virus itself. ”

“…… In other words, you have actually given up the option of developing a serum with 'Jiang'. The husband can finally say this in the affirmative. Prior to this, Dorothy's words had shown an attitude of avoiding talking about the efficacy of "Jiang" on the serum - she said this: "I have also considered it. ”

Yes, there is nothing wrong with this statement, what used to belong to the past, and now it has been abandoned, where is the root of his decision, he does not want to delve into it, he just needs this future partner to have a positive and consistent attitude. Double-sided betting is not something you can afford to play in today's situation.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense and dull, he changed the topic without being a husband and asked in as relaxed a tone as possible: "Speaking of which, why do you call the special substance information in Gao Chuan's body 'Jiang'?" Sounds more like a person's name—" He paused abruptly as he remembered some background information about these particular patients with doomsday syndrome. Indeed, before the boys and girls entered the hospital, there was indeed one person in their small group, moreover, someone who meant a lot to them in terms of ethical relationships.

A girl named "Mae", the oldest and most prestigious leader of the small group, formed a relationship in the orphanage, so that they have a deep affection for each other that ordinary family relatives do not have. Moreover, this girl named "Mae" was also the first among them to be infected with the "virus". It's just that before the hospital found and accepted these children, because of the deterioration of Mae's condition, the small gang fell into an extremely dangerous situation. Doomsday Syndrome sufferers are all mentally ill and are seriously ill people who are aggressive towards others under certain conditions, and Mae died in a riot, and the orphanage where the small gang was located was completely destroyed by fire. Later, although the boys and girls came to the isolated island hospital, they revealed their attachment to the dead "Mae" in various performances—from a psychological point of view, Mae has such a heavy weight in their hearts, and its influence is so huge and profound, but it is theoretical.

Since these children are already doomsday syndrome patients at this time, it is natural that they are also severely mentally ill patients with an unusual psychology towards the deceased who are close to them. It's just that, even after becoming like this, is Dorothy, whose entire physical structure of existence has been completely alienated, still affected by this psychology? Obviously, even the material basis for the emergence of personality ideas has undergone such a great change.

Buzuofu suddenly came back to his senses, frowning tightly, he was once again too deep. In fact, whether the real river will be the cause of the name "Jiang" is not something worth investigating.

"......" Dorothy was silent for a long time, making her husband think that she would not just be silent, or directly change the topic, but when he took the initiative to avoid talking, Dorothy spoke: "Do you know the specific situation of Zhenjiang's death that year? ”

Buzuofu was stunned, he thought about it carefully before he confirmed: "No, I only know some approximations." After a pause, he said, "However, I heard that Gao Chuan ate her?" There is no record in the archives, but there are such rumors in private. He was indeed a little interested in this rumor, although "cannibalism" was a very curious behavior, and it was also considered a symbol of pathology in terms of mental state, but the existence of "Jiang" in Gao Chuan's body made him can't help but think of this rumor.

From the past to the present, in order to obtain a preliminarily qualified vaccine, some researchers will repeatedly use the affected body as a breeding ground to gradually reduce the threat of the virus through different affected subjects, tame the violence of the vaccine, and cultivate a vaccine that is truly suitable for the human body. Of course, not all of these affected animals are humans, but there are also animals such as cattle and sheep.

Why does "Takakawa" eat people? In his psychological diagnosis, he does not actually possess the characteristics of a cannibal, and does not have such distorted desires, either morally or physically. I don't know why the relevant information was blocked, or it was not recorded in detail from the beginning, although Buzuofu and other researchers were interested in these issues, they didn't know about it, and the most likely information to start with should be in the hands of Dr. Ruan Li, but the other party's secrecy was extremely good, and then because she also suffered from doomsday syndrome, she died a strange and strange death soon after, and people who tried to find something from her database were disappointed, because she seemed to understand her fate, For reasons that outsiders could not understand, she deliberately deleted most of her research materials, leaving only what she thought would be useful to the hospital - but that did not include what she knew about Takakawa's past.

Takakawa's past is hidden in artificially created darkness, and Mae, another figure who seems to be very important now, did not have much useful information from the beginning.

In the conjecture of not being a husband, if the "Jiang" in Gao Chuan's body is the reason why he is different from other patients with doomsday syndrome, and "Jiang" has an inexplicable relationship with "Zhenjiang" in the clues, then could the birth of "Jiang" in the first place come from "Gao Chuan" eating "Zhenjiang"? Is it because in this process, the "virus" has undergone two changes in the human body to form the "river"? And this process seems to be so consistent with the formation process of vaccine serum - as if to prove that the body's own immunity actually plays an important role in the process of "virus" infection.

Within the scope of all mankind, the number of patients with doomsday syndrome is so large that there is only one "Gao Chuan", which cannot be said to be a miracle - because under this base, according to normal logic, the human body should have a high probability of spontaneously giving birth to antibodies to the "virus". This in itself is the natural power of life, and it is the ability of life to adapt to changes in the external environment.

"I guess, you know what I'm thinking." He said this to Dorothy, and his eyes were always only on the room and the huge presence that was clearly not human, but he didn't know what kind of equipment it was. Although it is a device, it also makes people feel that it has life, its breath is the flickering light, and its wriggling makes the parts hidden out of sight and in the shadows shake, although it cannot be seen directly, but it can be felt.

Yes, even now, she still can't observe Dorothy's current appearance as a whole, and the other party has also said that this is her dreamland, so it is also possible that the strange and grotesque overall outline is at work with some hallucinatory illusions. Because it is impossible to tell which part of this great silhouette is real and which part is illusory, it is impossible to know Dorothy at all.

However, he also did not doubt that this terrible already inhuman, seemingly being on the same front as himself, was capable of probing his own thoughts—not to mention anything else, just having the computing power close to that of the color center, it was enough to fill in the theory with specific data by observing every detail of the human body, and in this way obtain the thoughts of others. In modern science, this mind-reading technique has long been applied.

Because of this, it is clear to the husband that what Dorothy has said so far is what she wants to say, what she wants to let herself know, and there is no possibility of being forced by the harsh environment, even if the other party has stated from the beginning that "she has no manpower, and her device can't do more".

"I know." Dorothy really doesn't shy away from this topic, "Speaking with a lot of data has always been the last word of science. I know you're wondering what happened back then. I can tell you that, yes, Takakawa ate Mae and that is one of the important reasons why we call that thing in Takakawa's body 'E'. And there is indeed a direct relationship between these two things. However, I have great doubts about whether 'Jiang' is really a serum vaccine conceived by 'Zhenjiang' and 'Takakawa', and the key is that we still don't know anything about the 'virus' - on the other hand, I ask you, do you want to believe that 'Jiang' is a vaccine against the 'virus' and inject the resulting drug into your own body? ”
