Chapter 608 Mechanical Eternity
This is the deepest floor in the ground, and it has only two functions:
Store precious archives, as well as corpses that have died from various causes.
Before the spiritual tide revived, no one would think that the corpse needed to be guarded against.
Opening the metal airtight doors that were closed layer by layer, the first thing Duke and his party saw was a T-shaped corridor, going left to the archives and right to the morgue.
"A smell of gunpowder smoke, mixed with the peculiar rotten smell of corpses." Bai Yu sniffed and muttered softly.
Then, quickly follow the pace of Duke and Pan Ming.
After following the red eye-catching arrow for a certain distance, the line of sight is much brighter, and several carbon arc lamps are working.
"We are here to collect the body at the invitation of Scotland Yard and the Crown."
Looking at the man who suddenly came out of the corner, Pan Ming explained.
"Um."
Bernard nodded, his eyes lingered on Duke for a long time, as if he knew him.
"Who are you?"
Duke was also stunned.
The tall and thin man in front of him looks very similar to an old man, but he is much thinner and more mature.
"Bernard, an intern from the King's School to the Scotland Yard Forensic Office."
"Duke, an investigator."
After a long time, the two masters and apprentices reunited again, but they didn't reminisce about the past, because they just saw each other with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and they had never known each other before——
To be more precise, in this world, Duke and Bernard met for the first time, and the special bond made the two hit it off.
"Passport." Duke was the first to react, and took out a special piece of paper with the police seal and the royal seal from his pocket, "Open the door."
Bernard was terrified by last night's incident, but he did not lose his sense of control, and checked carefully to prevent any schemer with ulterior motives from trying to confuse the pass, even if this situation is almost impossible.
After staring at it for about two minutes, Bernard returned the pass, took off his half-worn white coat, took out a bunch of keys from his belt, and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
At the end of the corridor, there is a heavy iron door covered with rust stains and dents. In addition, there are several bullet holes on it, silently telling the fierce battle of last night
"Clang!"
With the key turned, the door latch started to start, and there was the sound of gears colliding inside. Seeing the tall and thin figure of his apprentice, Duke suppressed all his emotions and stepped into the morgue.
Three rows of mortuary cabinets were placed along the wall, with more than a dozen iron frame beds in the middle, which occupied most of the room.
Subconsciously, Bernard clasped his arms tightly, and filled the mortuary cabinet with a lot of ice cubes. The ambient temperature was already in an extremely low range, coupled with various strange events, he couldn't help shivering.
However, this little forensic doctor who had just stepped out of the campus did not leave. He wanted to work with Duke very much. There was no reason, just a sudden strong urge.
And Duke didn't care. He, Pan Ming and the others completely ignored the chill from the outside world, and their eyes wandered back and forth between the three rows of cabinets.
There is no special smell emanating from mechanical creations, and as long as it does not move or pose a threat to people, no one will notice the strangeness.
Seeing that everyone showed surprising habit to this environment, Bernard also calmed down a little. He walked slowly to the mortuary cabinet marked with "Number 8" in red paint.
There was the sound of tooth-acid metal rubbing.
Under the gaze of several eyes, a metal slider more than six meters long was slowly pulled out. Trainee forensic officer Bernard stabilized his mind and introduced:
"At about 2:30 in the morning, the royal guards escorted it over. The research materials related to it are in the archive room next door. They were not damaged in the turmoil."
"Also, I'll just stand here, and when you finish your research, I'll be in charge of locking the door."
After finishing speaking, he turned around and gave the space to the excited Duke, watching everyone silently.
The moment the mortuary cabinet was opened, all the attention of Duke, Pan Ming and others were focused on the huge corpse in front of them.
Due to being frozen in the middle of the night, a layer of frost had already formed on the surface of the mechanical monster. Duke lightly dusted it twice with his hand, and said, "Looking at the surface texture of the skin, it is no different from a normal human being, and you can even see it." fingerprint."
"Where's your operating box, let me use it."
Hearing this, Bernard walked quickly to the corner locker without any hesitation, and took out his exclusive storage box from it——
Rubber gloves, headrest, scalpel, rope and goggles, dissecting saw, fingerprint set, bone chisel, injection needle, scoop, bone hammer, rectal thermometer...
Duke easily said the names of these tools like reciting a poem.
Once upon a time, he was a medical professor who understood living medicine and studied death medicine in depth, but now, he is a scientist who can independently develop the second-generation mecha.
"let's start."
Pan Ming urged.
And Duke also broke free from his memories, picked up a tool and drew a basic scalpel mark on the monster's skin, the mysterious material that could resist bullets was as thin as white paper in front of him.
Through the opening, everyone can clearly see that there are countless stiff blood vessels inside.
"Dermis...blood vessels..."
Duke didn't bother to get the smallest scalpel, and directly tapped the capillary with a ready-made tool, and an incision that was hard to see with the naked eye appeared. He reached out and asked Bernard for a syringe.
Seeing this, the trainee forensic officer didn't hesitate, and directly stood at the assistant's position, and brought tools to the investigator who was the chief surgeon.
The whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.
At the same time, Duke looked at what was sucked out by the metal syringe, and muttered, "Biological organisms?"
As he spoke, he looked up at Bernard who was standing beside him, and asked naturally, "Do you have a microscope here?"
"have."
"Take it and observe how it differs from human blood cells."
"Um."
Bernard still hadn't escaped Professor Duke's domination, but he readily accepted.
Following the assistant's departure, Duke returned to the inspection, and didn't even say hello to Lu Li when he arrived.
Lu Li, who had just acquired a special ability, was naturally in a good mood, but as soon as he entered the morgue and arrived at the autopsy site, his joy disappeared instantly, at least it didn't show on his face.
At this moment, Duke did not check the penetrating wound that caused fatal damage to the monster, but focused on the head.
Under the fiddling of various things, the mouth of the giant monster was pried open, revealing the mouth, and only the two rows of teeth were covered with disgusting yellow dirt.
boom! boom! boom!
After three beeps, the bone hammer shattered, and a tooth the size of half a palm of an adult fell out.
"A mechanical body transformed from a biological body, with internal parts replacing various organs to provide power."
Duke simply came to a conclusion, and then continued to fiddle with the giant corpse in front of him.
