Chapter Ninety-Eight: Something Subtle

An injury to the back of the hand is a mark.

Xu Yunshu made the same scratch mark on all the dream possessed people he could find in the corner of the dream forest.

Even if these people are not part of the organization, they have registered their information within the organization.

They are controllable in the current situation, when this murder broke out, Zhao Jingchuan immediately investigated the organization and completely ruled out the suspicion of the registered dream possessors.

So, there are now two possible suspects to target.

One of them must have a cut on the back of his hand.

This is also a point that Xu Yunshu wants to remind Chen Honghui.

Although he does not make a presumption of guilt, believing that the person with the scar on the back of his hand must be the murderer, this is still a key clue, and as for how to track it, it depends on Chen Honghui himself.

After all, Xu Yunshu is not in Haishi now, so there is no way to help remotely.

The experiment he applied for was ready, Professor Xue sent someone to find him, and Xu Yunshu could only put the matter on hold for the time being.

……

Temporary Biological Laboratory.

When Xu Yunshu arrived, Professor Xue and his team were waiting for him.

Let so many masters in the field of scientific research wait for him, Xu Yunshu is a little embarrassed.

But everyone present was very enthusiastic about him.

After all, this is a strange man who is willing to donate his life to contribute to the cause of scientific research, and everyone is curious about the reaction of dream creatures to humans, but due to ethics, no one can say the idea of real experiments.

But at this moment, there is someone who is willing to stand up, and it is naturally warmly welcomed.

From Xu Yunshu's point of view, whether it is reality or dream forest, sooner or later he will have to face this strange insect chrysalis hatchery, it is better to meet as soon as possible and see what is strange about this thing.

Thanks to his potential strength, Xu Yunshu is confident that even if he encounters an inexplicable danger, he can solve it.

What's more, this is a premature baby that has been artificially matured.

Professor Xue also had the same idea, he knew that with Xu Yunshu's strength, there should not be much danger in the face of this dream monster, he was very curious about the reaction of this creature in the face of humans, it happened that someone volunteered to be an experiment, and it was too late for him to be happy.

Another reason is that Xu Yunshu, as the first person currently possessed by dreams, has the right to speak that others do not have.

As long as it is something he decides, it will not be excessive, and there will be no force to hinder it.

Until then, though, the necessary animal experiments are still to be carried out.

Because the pupa has just hatched, the relevant experiments have not yet had time to be done, so I just took this opportunity to let Xu Yunshu also observe it.

The first to be placed is the guinea pig.

This excellent rodent has made a great contribution to the scientific and technological progress of mankind and is today one of the most common animals in the laboratory.

Although this strange insect has pinprick-like mouthparts, which can theoretically only suck sap based on past experience, dream creatures have never played cards according to common sense, not to mention that this strange thing cannot be classified at all.

So looking at whether it hunts or not, and if so, how it hunts, will be of great help in understanding the creature.

When the mouse is placed into the room, multiple cameras are constantly changing angles in an attempt to capture the most critical images.

However, the truth disappointed them.

The dream creature crouching on the wall didn't react, allowing the mice to scurry around the room.

The crowd at the monitor looked at each other.

Could it be that this bug doesn't have any attack power?

Wouldn't the so-called invasion of dream creatures become a huge joke?

The thought was swirling in the minds of every person in the know, and they were silent as they watched the guinea pigs scurrying around in a vain attempt to find an exit to escape.

This is a result they could not have imagined.

After all, in all dream invasion events, the powerful strength of dream creatures deserves to be brought out and written about.

Could it be that we are the luckiest?

Coincidentally, the lottery got one of the least threatening creatures?

Xu Yunshu frowned, still staring at the screen seriously, watching the mouse run out of strength due to running around, curled up in the corner of the wall and twitching his nose, as if he was sniffing something.

When everyone present began to get impatient, the strange dream creature moved!

It seemed to finally sense the smell of flesh and blood in the house, flapped its strange wings, and swayed towards the corner of the wall, and after a few moments, stopped in front of the mouse, blocking all the routes that the mouse could escape.

Finally going hunting?

All eyes were on the monitor to see how the strange dream creature would behave.

This weird bug is related to Xu Yunshu's next moves, and he is more concerned and nervous than everyone else.

In the surveillance video, the strange-looking dream monster begins to move towards the guinea pig.

Forty centimeters long, the monster insect of the behemoth moved at a slow pace compared to the mouse, and this speed seemed to be the limit of its mobility.

From a third-party perspective, with the speed of this little mouse, it is completely possible to slip away from it.

But what is puzzling is that the mouse blocked in the corner did not take any action, it was like it had fallen into an evil spirit, its scarlet eyes stared at the dream monster without blinking, twitching its nose repeatedly, and quietly waiting for the dream monster to approach.

Xu Yunshu carefully observed the movements of the strange insects in the monitor, secretly guessing various possibilities.

Why is the little mouse reluctant to move?

Is it because of some strange ability exerted by the monster worm?

Or what toxic substances were directed at it?

Or is it spreading a hormone that inhibits the activity of the organism and immobilizes the rat?

The coercive aura that dream creatures bring?

After all kinds of speculation, the strange insect finally crawled to the side of the mouse.

After that, something even more weird, but unexpected, happened.

Forty centimeters long, hideous in appearance, with the terrifying identity of a dream creature, the dream monster that was treated cautiously as a powerful enemy, and the mouse with a length of less than twenty centimeters fought "fiercely" with the tail.

If you ignore the size problem, the fight between them can be described as tragic.

You come and go, and I am very happy.

The unbearable combat power of the dream monster really shocked countless jaws.

Although when this pupa hatched, Professor Xue, who had obtained the body size data, had already realized that this thing was probably not as powerful as he imagined, but its combat power was actually comparable to that of the guinea pig used in the experiment, which was obviously beyond his expectations.

If that's all there is to it, then what is there to defend against?

When you see something strange, just an ordinary person, it's good to step on it to death.

The whole point of this thing seems to be lying in the laboratory for experts to study and finally make a specimen.

Xu Yunshu was naturally disappointed.

The whole point of his running around during this time is to prevent possible crises, but the news from various sources, and even what he has seen with his own eyes, shows one thing, the combat effectiveness of this bug can only be described as ridiculous.

Doesn't this mean that he is just living in his own imagination and doing a lot of useless work in vain?

It's not that Xu Yunshu can't accept that he thinks too much, the connection between the strange situation in the corner of the dream forest and the insect chrysalis is just his intuition.

If there is more professional data to tell him the truth and prove that his ideas are purely superfluous, Xu Yunshu is willing to accept it.

At all times, it's always good to be prepared. Despite a lot of useless work, it's better than doing nothing.

The "tragic" battle finally ended, and the victor was the bruised guinea pig, the strange-looking dream creature who had died completely.

“…… This outcome, which we may not have anticipated, seems to indicate that the crisis is not serious, but we should not take it lightly. After a period of silence, Professor Xue Zhengye opened his mouth and said to the insiders present, "Maybe the incubation conditions we chose are wrong, and the necessary links are missing, which causes this insect pupa to shed its shell and emerge in advance, which should not represent their true strength." ”

"We still have a lot of living samples, make persistent efforts, try more, and always explore all the possibilities clearly before we can really draw conclusions."

The researchers looked at each other and could only nod their heads in agreement.

Seeing that Xu Yunshu was still frowning, carefully observing the endgame in the room, Professor Xue paced over and patted him on the shoulder with some embarrassment, "Xiao Xu, let you run for nothing." ”

However, Xu Yunshu did not speak, he focused all his attention on the monitor.

In the high-definition camera footage, the miserable little mouse is extremely excited in the face of the sudden flesh and blood food.

"Professor Xue, I'd like to take a closer look."

Xu Yunshu felt that they might have missed something very subtle.
