Chapter 2251 This Is Not Scientific

This is a dried corpse.

Due to the loss of water, the body shrank extremely, but precisely because of this, the rough appearance of the original owner of the body was accidentally preserved.

This is an old man with gray hair and a skinny figure. His thick white hair has already been fixed in shape and will turn into powder if touched even slightly.

The reason why he was classified as an old man was because dozens of irregular wrinkles were found on his forehead. These were not the result of shrinkage, but more like natural occurrences.

The white uniform is embellished with lace sewn with gold thread. If you turn over the uniform, you will find a badge pinned to the right chest. The badge is a pattern of a human face half covered by a top hat.

Since half of his face was covered, his appearance and expression could not be judged, but because of this, his restraint and danger were highlighted even more.

This is probably the portrait of the top leader of the institute.

I guessed.

"That's disgusting." Kailan looked at the dead old man lying on the desk with disgust. She frowned slightly and wanted to run away, but for some unknown reason, she reluctantly stayed.

"If you feel sick, just go out and wait."

"What about you?" Kailan asked.

"I'm going to stay a little longer," I said calmly, "I want to study it more."

"Study it? A corpse?" Kailan pouted: "You are not a forensic scientist."

"I just think it's a bit strange. After so many years, not only has the body not turned into a fossil, but even his hair has been completely preserved. But you and I can both see that this secret room is not a vacuum. The air circulation is very smooth, and the temperature of the entire institute is not low, which is not suitable for preserving corpses. It is even more difficult to dry the corpse naturally."

Kailan's expression changed, from the previous disgust to one of difference: "You mean, this body was deliberately embalmed?"

"No, this is unlikely." I shook my head, denying her conjecture: "If you use medicine to preserve it, no matter how powerful the medicine is, it won't be able to last for hundreds of millions of years. And looking at his posture, it's very big." It may be that working at the desk for too long led to sudden death. Of course, other reasons are not ruled out."

"In addition, there is another very big doubt." I looked solemn, raised my index finger, and said in a deep voice: "Why is there only one corpse of him in this research institute?"

"Perhaps he alone can support the operation of the entire institute."

Kailan answered very casually. Obviously, she was not very interested in this question.

"If he can support it by himself, what else do he need those monitoring stations for? Are they decorations?"

"Those may be observation towers where he wants to observe the entire institute from different angles."

"Well, we can't rule out the possibility of this." I nodded and said, "And if this is really the reason, it would clear up a lot of confusion."

As I said that, I walked up to the body, stretched out my hand, and lifted him up little by little.

"Hey~~~What are you doing!" Kailan pinched his nose and ran away with a look of disgust on his face.

"Pick him up and see if there are any clues."

"Well, this is a corpse that has been dead for many years. Aren't you worried about being infected with some strange bacteria?"

"If there were really bacteria that could be transmitted just by touching, we would have been infected long ago. Don't forget, the feet of this corpse were in close contact with the ground, and we were not flying along the way. Come here, but come here."

"Hey! Stop talking! I'm already covered in goosebumps!" Kailan's little face shrank into a ball: "If you say anything more, I'm going to vomit."

I smiled and shook my head, and slowly laid the body flat on the ground. At this point, I finally saw the full frontal view of the body.

This is indeed the appearance of an old man, but because he died at his desk and died so long ago, the muscles on the left side of his face were shaped into a ferocious shape. This is exactly what Odachi described as 'a guy who was trampled to death by a monster. The look of death'.

Apart from the weird white uniform that is immortal for hundreds of millions of years, I was also surprised by the other red shirt worn inside the white uniform - it turned out to be immortal like the white uniform.

"What material are these fabrics made of?"

I took off the gauntlet and touched my shirt and jacket. They were very smooth, and the shirt seemed very soft, but the uniform was quite tough. It must have been other materials specially chosen to maintain a straight appearance.

But I'm not a tailor and don't know much about it.

After taking off his coat and red shirt one by one, Kailan's voice came again in his ears: "Aren't you? You even take off the clothes of dead people?"

"For the sake of technological progress, it is still necessary to make appropriate sacrifices."

"What have you sacrificed?" Kailan blurted out and asked loudly.

"It took a lot of energy and energy - I had to find the easiest way to take off my uniform and shirt."

"Have you found it now?" Kailan asked.

With a crisp click, I said helplessly: "Found it."

In my hand is a withered arm

Parts of it were damaged anyway, so I simply broke the jar, smashed it, and with a few clicks, broke all the limbs of the body and successfully took off the two pieces of clothing.

After shaking off the dust, I folded the two pieces of clothing and stuffed them into my bag. Then I glanced at the dry body lying on the ground and couldn't help but curse myself as a beast in my heart.

There was a complete corpse, but I dismantled it into human sticks. Even the long white hair with a peculiar shape, nearly half of it was turned into powder.

All in all, it was just miserable.

Kailan stood behind me, looked at the human stick, and snickered: "Don't tell me, after being treated like this by your hands, the originally hideous and terrifying corpse is not only less terrifying, but also a bit more funny."

"Would you like to take a photo with it?" I looked at Kailan and asked with a smile.

Kailan waved his hands repeatedly: "Forget it, I don't have such a weird hobby."

As she spoke, she turned around and suddenly made a confused sound: "What is this? A notebook?"

Hearing this, I immediately turned around and followed Kailan's gaze. There was indeed a palm-sized notebook lying flat on the table.

"Would you like to open it and take a look?" Kailan suggested.

"Forget it." I shook my head: "It's been so long. This notebook must be brittle. I'm afraid it will break into powder if I just turn the page."

"No way," Kailan said while turning the cover of the notebook. I wanted to step forward to stop it, but it was already too late. She gently opened the thick cover of the notebook.

My eyes widened suddenly, but I didn't see the scene in my imagination where the notebook was shattered into a pile.

After a while, I exclaimed: "This is not scientific!"
