With a spiritual vision, you can see the path inside the door and the possible dangerous passes.

Jiang Qian descended the stairs and gradually deepened.

The underground corridor was a little longer, but he soon discovered the "New World":

After following the corridor to the open space, Jiang Qian found that it seemed to be an activity space extending from the patient activity room above, which was filled with games, interactive facilities, and even toys.

The extent of the destruction here is significantly less than that of the outside, and the furnishings are relatively intact.

Jiang Qian took out the album he obtained from the dean's office and compared the background picture on the album with the scene.

"Well, it's kind of similar......"

He paused for a moment, put away the album, and moved on.

The second area began to get weird, with small to large cages of varying sizes, chained and flogging-like punishment tools hanging from the side.

However, no bones were found.

This means that there may have been some indescribable projects that were abandoned before the cataclysm. Therefore, after the catastrophe, there were no valuable traces left in this scene.

"Fellow Patient, Doctor, Cage and Chain...... Interesting. ”

Jiang Qian continued to move forward, and finally came to an area that intrigued him: a place similar to a multi-purpose meeting room.

There is a large screen for presentations, a couch, a coffee table and a work desk with a computer and projectors.

Jiang Qian went straight to the desk, where potted plants were placed in addition to some stationery and electronic devices that could not be turned on.

The locked drawer had recently been rudely opened, but its contents were neat.

"There's a pit?"

Jiang Qian thought of the possibility of being dug by his opponent.

"Let's see the moves......"

He smiled slightly, quickly sorted out the contents of the drawer, and obtained a bunch of keys and some handwritten materials.

Go through the information while it's hot.

It contains an interesting experimental conjecture and related experimental process:

One of the practical solutions to explore species integration: a methodology for radically transforming humans into another species.

To put it simply, this mystical scholar believes that there is a common kernel between different species, and that mastering this fundamental kernel can lead to the domestication and unification of different species.

He thus proposes three directions:

First, rewrite the gene source code and realize species transformation through genetic science; The labeling result is: Failed.

second, to achieve species transformation through artificial domestication; The result of the annotation is the same: failed.

The third direction is a bit mysterious, through the occult formula, the stimulation effect to achieve species transformation; The result is: Success!

Details of the success story are documented: the stimulation of a human experimenter suffering from a "mental illness" through a "mysterious extract" ultimately led to a radical transformation in the physical traits of the experimenter.

However, the definition of "success" in this experiment is rather vague, and it is more likely to be understood as the transformation of species A into species B to species C.

……

It is understandable that scientists who are not called madmen have no chance to be remembered by history, not to mention that this is a mental hospital in the first place...... Jiang Qianmian read all the information without changing his color, and felt deeply inspired.

Regardless of the sins and ethical issues of these experiments, this set of information at least explains why Elizabeth's experiment failed: the way to rewrite the genetic source code was not working.

Artificial domestication is even more nonsense.

The last success story of occultism is most likely the theoretical basis of the source of the catastrophe.

Thankfully, the "Mystery Extract" is also numbered!

Jiang Qian searched the room according to the number, and finally found a row of 12 liquid extracts with the same number in the safe in the freezer.

The key in the previous drawer was used to open the safe.

When the 12 liquid extracts arrived, Jiang Qian, who was about to taste the "poison", heard the good news from the copy:

[Hint: Three sets of core experimental data for the "Source of Cataclysm" have been retrieved: Gene Source Code*1 (Invalid) Species Domestication Record Manual*1 (Invalid) Mysterious Extract*12 (Valid)]

[Side quest exploration progress: 50%!] 】

……

Well, the first advance was the discovery of the "core figure" Dr. Kate, and this time it was the "core theoretical data...... Jiang Qian was not too surprised by the sudden progress of the branch line, and continued to extract one of the extracts and opened it to taste the poison.

It is the same substance as the venom on the creeper's tail needle.

The current situation quickly formed a deference in Jiang Qian's mind:

The transformation occurs when the mystical extract (poison) acts on humans suffering from mental illness (humans with mental pollution sources).

This is the basis for the Origin of Cataclysm, which is recognized as valid by the dungeon.

Just like Jiang Qian's practice when he rescued the residents of Ideal Town:

In the absence of a fountain pen to assist in the output of his own reserves of strange energy, by calling the venom remaining in the infected person's body, acting on its own spiritual pollution source, so as to adjust the imbalance energy structure and complete the healing operation.

Back and forth, the same thing.

But Jiang Potential's ability to do this also relies on the additional compatible vision obtained from the "Children's Paradise" - the visualization of energy structures.

Does this mean that there may be characters in this world who are similar to his abilities, see the connection, and practice some kind of unethical path?

Is this possible?

And so on, the basis for Dr. Kate's diagnosis of mental illness seems to be revealed...... Jiang Qian recalled Elizabeth's description:

"My grandfather was diagnosed with a complex mental illness and was said to be able to see visions that were difficult to describe, which often made psychiatrists shake their heads and sigh."

Jiang Qian chewed on this information repeatedly:

"Elizabeth also mentioned that there is an ethical controversy over her grandfather's theory, could it be that the operator of this experiment is Dr. Kate himself?"

"So where did these 12 mysterious extracts come from......"

It's a chicken-and-egg question.

Jiang Qian looked at the sealed tube containing the "mysterious extract" in his hand, and then placed it on the table, continuing to check the nature of the extract in the other sealed tubes......

As he took the poison one by one, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some kind of looming diagram hidden at the bottom of the box where the extract was placed.

Jiang Qian immediately took out the two test tubes next to him, and an interesting pattern appeared in the box.

He had seen this pattern elsewhere:

Kraken Kraken!

Jiang Qian's mind quickly flashed Monat's solemn look and Elizabeth's description of Monat's identity.

"Interesting, the relationship between the characters in this copy is quite complicated."

Jiang Qian then put the extract away, and he thought it was necessary to hurry up and go to the next information point to extract clues.

But before leaving, there's still a tail to dispose of.

His gaze swept over the haphazard plates on the couch coffee table, the starchy residue on the plates, and the sprouting potatoes in the bonsai on the table......

Finally, his gaze stayed on the door of the bathroom that he had never opened, and said in a calm tone:

"Come out by yourself, or I'll go in and invite you."
