"Miss Shirakawa, the results of the examination are out."

Ten years ago, in San Francisco, a middle-aged doctor with glasses knocked on the door of an underground stronghold equipped with full medical facilities.

"Come in."

Closing the notebook in his hand that he brought from Bai Heqing's study, Bai Hejing turned his head to look at Bai Heqing, who was lying on the hospital bed next to him, still in a coma, raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows, and said in response.

Her expression was a little gloomy.

"This is the inspection report, please take a look."

The middle-aged doctor walked in in response, he first handed the report in his hand to Bai Hejing, then lowered his voice and said:

"Mr. Shirakawa's physical condition is worse than we thought, and according to the results of the examination, the cells all over his body are showing an unexplained ...... Go to pieces. ”

The middle-aged doctor hesitated for a moment, and finally uttered the word that he thought would be more accurate.

"In addition, we also noticed that Mr. Shirakawa's cell activity and DNA chemistry changes are also abnormal, and they do not seem to be affected by the natural aging of the human body, and they still remain quite amazingly active, like a volcano containing huge energy.

It is this incredible activity that has been causing Mr. Shirakawa's cells to undergo some special changes......

Miss Shirakawa, although my next words may seem strange to you, I must tell you that we believe that this change in the cells in Mr. Shirakawa's body may be what the world thinks of as 'rejuvenation'. ”

"Rejuvenation......

The middle-aged doctor said what he thought should be shocking, but Bai Hejing didn't react much, and her face still had that calm expression.

It was as if she had known what he was going to say.

"That's right." The middle-aged doctor nodded and continued to explain:

"It is this amazing activity of unknown origin that not only stops Mr. Shirakawa's natural aging process, but even reverses this process to a certain extent, so that Mr. Shirakawa's body not only does not age with time, but gradually becomes younger.

However, this change is not without a cost, and human cells and DNA simply cannot withstand such changes that go against normal physiological phenomena for a long time.

As a result, as this reverse growth change continues, the resulting damage will also accumulate in Mr. Shirakawa's cells and DNA, and eventually, at some point in the future, Mr. Shirakawa's body will completely collapse.

Based on the test results, we infer that this change may have been going on in Mr. Shirakawa's body for about eight years, but the change was very slight at the beginning, and Mr. Shirakawa's own body was very strong, which also delayed the side effects of this change to a certain extent, so Mr. Shirakawa may not have been aware of it for the previous few years.

It's just that if it continues like this, it maybe, it may ......."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged doctor suddenly became a little distracted, and he glanced up at the silent Bai Hejing, as if he didn't know whether he should continue to talk or not.

"Say, what could be?" Shirakawa's tone remained calm.

"Based on our current DNA damage to Mr. Shirakawa's body, Mr. Shirakawa's body can only last for about ten years without any effective measures......"

In an instant, Bai Hejing's body suddenly exuded a chill.

"When、Of course! That's just our estimate of time! ”

Seeing this, the middle-aged doctor hurriedly explained: "Considering that Mr. Shirakawa's body is already stronger than the average person, this time can actually be pushed back a little more!" Eleven, no! Ten, twelve! Probably thirteen also ......"

"That's it!"

Stopping him from speaking incoherently, Bai Hejing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and calmed his breathing.

"What will happen then?"

"Because the damage is directly on the DNA, we speculate that by that time, Mr. Shirakawa's condition may be ......the same as that of those patients whose DNA was broken by heavy nuclear radiation."

The middle-aged doctor didn't say it, and that was probably the most painful way to die in the world.

"Is there a solution?" Bai Hejing lowered his head, was silent for a while, and continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, but we don't know the source of the special activity of Mr. Shirakawa's cells at this time, but if we can analyze it clearly, it may be possible to ......."

"Alright, you go out first."

"Yes, yes......"

Interrupted by Bai Hejing, the middle-aged doctor hurriedly left the room.

In the room, hearing the sound of the door closing when he left, Bai Hejing, who had been keeping his head down, raised his hand and wiped his eyes silently.

"How long are you going to lie here?"

Bai Hejing suddenly turned her head and looked at Bai Heqing, who was still "unconscious" on the hospital bed, with some reddened eyes.

"Oh, I saw that Ah Jing looked like you were about to cry, so I was a little embarrassed to wake up......"

was directly named, Bai Heqing didn't pretend anymore, and immediately sat up from the hospital bed, stretched, and said with a smile.

He was actually awake when the middle-aged doctor came in.

"Did you hear what he just said?" Ignoring his teasing, Bai Hejing looked straight at him and asked.

"yes, I heard you." Shirakawa nodded, then sighed softly.

Although the middle-aged doctor did not say it explicitly, he still knew what would happen to those who were exposed to heavy nuclear radiation in the end.

To put it simply, the human body will not produce any new cells due to the destruction of DNA, and all cells will not regenerate after death.

However, because human brain cells are the longest-lived cells in the human body and are inherently non-renewable, when that moment really comes, Bai Heqing will feel very clearly how his body decomposes itself from the outside to the inside little by little, and then slowly dies.

"This is the notebook you have in your study."

Shirakawa handed him the lab notebook that Elena Miyano had sent to Shirakawa Kiyoshi before she died.

"I've read all of the above."

"Alas, I originally wanted to hide it from you......" Bai Heqing took the notebook and sighed again.

His expression was not sad at all, as if he was not the one who had been sentenced to death.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Hejing continued to ask.

Although her tone was still calm, it was clear from her continuous words that her heart was far from being as calm as she appeared.

However, Bai Heqing did not answer her immediately, but raised his hand slightly, and waved his finger lightly in the direction of the door.

Immediately understood what he meant, Bai Hejing didn't hesitate, got up and left the room.

In the hallway, she happened to see the middle-aged doctor with several other medical personnel, tiptoeing to leave secretly.

"That, that, Miss Shirakawa! Don't get me wrong! We—we just want to ......"

"Phew!"

Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire.

"Ahh Ahh

"Woohoo!"

"I'm not going to say it! I swear! Miss Shirakawa! Please! Please don't ......"

"Phew! Bang! ”

A few more gunshots rang out, and there was no sound outside, the door was opened again, and Bai Hejing walked in.

"I'm sorry ......"

Bai Heqing lowered his eyes and whispered this.

It's just that I don't know if he said this to those medical personnel who were "forced to keep it secret", or to Bai Hejing, who was shouted by him to silence him.

Entering the room, Bai Hejing didn't say anything, just quietly sat back in her seat next to the hospital bed, she was still waiting for Bai Heqing to answer the question she had just asked.

"Your grandfather has been contacting me some time ago, and he wants me to be in charge of organizing the reconstruction plan for the European and American branches."

After being silent for a long time, Bai Heqing suddenly spoke.

"I was going to turn it down, but now it seems that this may be the right opportunity as well.

The solution Elena has already explained in her notes, just right, by the way, take Elena's child as well, I heard Rum say before that the child seems to be much smarter than her sister, perhaps, she can continue the research that her parents didn't complete......"

These two chapters explain a lot
