In the evening of May 30, in a small biological laboratory forgotten by the world in the suburbs of Kansas City, four experimenters were working hard in front of their respective data.
These four people were an old man, a blonde beauty, a black young man, and a handsome white young man. The old man was a professor, and the other three were his subordinates. However, although the atmosphere in the laboratory was tense, it was not as tense as other laboratories.
Not only that, but from the excited expressions on the faces of these four people, it could be seen that this experiment was fruitful and had come to an end.
At this moment, the blonde beauty suddenly took out a test tube glowing with blue fluorescence from the incubator in front of her. She picked it up with a test tube clamp and then placed it in front of the old man excitedly. At the same time, she said, "Professor Irwin, the sample compound has been isolated..."
"Very good, prepare to drip it into the experimental model."
The old man called Professor Kelvin said quickly and then he called over the other busy people. "Kate, Kefir, come and take a look, Jennifer has separated the compound!"
The handsome young man and the black young man quickly gathered around. The four of them surrounded a petri dish and then watched the blonde beauty drip a drop of reagent into the petri dish...
"Let me!"
The handsome young man picked up the petri dish and put it under the electron microscope to observe, then cried, "Look, after dripping the compound, the IL-1β in the petri dish is actually inhibited!"
Everyone looked at the screen next to them. Sure enough, they saw that the particles in the petri dish were constantly being dissolved by the drop of compound, just like detergent dissolving stains, very quickly...
"Not only that, the Aβ deposits are also constantly dissolving!"
The old professor on the side exclaimed, "Kate, we may have made a big discovery..."
Kate nodded and a touch of excitement appeared in her eyes. "Obviously, this is what you have been searching for, Professor Irwin... I didn't expect that a drug that no pharmaceutical company in the world has developed has actually been developed by our small workshop..."
"This honor belongs to you, Professor Kelvin..."
Seeing this scene, the blonde beauty cried tears of joy. She stepped forward and hugged the old man, then said, "Even we will benefit from your glory!"
The four of them all showed a look of excitement and emotion. Although they had been mentally prepared for the success of the drug, when this day really came, everyone felt a sense of trance and unreality in their hearts.
"This is not my work alone."
The old man patted their heads and said in a gratified manner, "Apart from me, you, Kite, and Kefir have all contributed greatly to this medicine!"
"Professor Irwin, the most important thing now is to think of a name for this new drug."
At this moment, the black youth suddenly said, "You're the creator of the drug, you should be the one to name it!"
"That's right!"
Everyone nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"This drug is very likely to be the first drug in human history that can perfectly cure Alzheimer's disease. If that's the case, let's call it …"
The old man pondered for a moment before saying, "Let's call it AD-001!"
"Yay!"
The three youths cheered loudly.
"Wait!"
However, at this moment, the old man seemed to have thought of something. His expression suddenly tensed up and he hurriedly stopped the crowd. "You three little fellas, now is not the time to celebrate. I need one of you to do something for me!"
"One thing?"
The three of them looked at him in confusion, wondering why Professor Irwin, who should be celebrating, was so serious.
"I hope someone can take my place and send this bottle of medicine and information to Los Angeles, to a person on the company's board of directors called Parker..."
The old man showed a serious expression as he turned to look at Kite. "Kite, can you complete this task?"
"Wait a minute, if it's the board of directors, wouldn't it be better for you to send it yourself? The information is even simpler, just send it over directly, right? "
Kite was a little puzzled. He spread his hands. "Why do I have to send it myself?"
"Sigh..."
Hearing this, Professor Irwin could not help but let out a sigh. "You and Jennifer are both transferred from other companies. You may not know that part of our company's equity has been maliciously acquired by another company. Even the board of directors has been infiltrated... And that company is far more powerful than us. Once the information is transmitted through the network, it's likely to be intercepted by the other party!"
"I know, could it be that famous..."
The black youth on the side was just about to say it when Professor Irwin covered his mouth.
Seeing this scene, Kite and the blonde beauty looked at each other with a dignified look in their eyes.
Professor Irwin continued, "The most important thing is that the other party also has a similar Alzheimer's disease response policy. We must not let this developed medicine fall into their hands, understand?"
"Understood!"
Kite nodded immediately when he heard this. "In that case, let me send it. And to be safe, I will go to Los Angeles by car, so even if the other party knows, they won't be able to catch me at the airport."
"Very good..."
Professor Irwin nodded with relief. He took out a USB flash drive, put all the data related to the drug in, and then pressed the button to clear all information in the laboratory, so that all information about AD-001 in the laboratory was completely deleted.
Then, he poured all the liquid in the test tube into a finger-sized sealed bottle. Suddenly, a glass bottle with blue fluorescence appeared in front of Professor Irwin. He solemnly handed the sealed bottle to Kite and at the same time showed a kind smile. "Go, child! The sooner you leave, the better! "
Kite nodded heavily, then he put away the sealed bottle, said goodbye to everyone, and quickly left the laboratory.
...
However, what everyone did not know was that the moment they developed AD-001, everything about this drug had been intercepted by a mysterious existence on the Internet.
Not only that, in a building far away in the suburbs of Los Angeles, there was a room without any doors or windows. This room was located in the middle of the building, in a crevice of the building. Relying on the illusion generated by human beings, such a room was separated from the entire building.
Whether it was the walls or the floor of this room, they were almost made of pure white. The only furniture in the entire room was a black ball.
At this time, in the silent pure white room, suddenly, the black ball in the center made a low operating sound. It seemed that some machinery inside had begun to operate. The next second, the black ball suddenly burst into a blue light and scattered in all directions!
Chi chi chi...
As the black ball operated, the light scattered by the black ball was like a 3D printer. Nine figures directly emerged directly in the blue light. When the blue light dissipated, there were nine more people in the room.
Among these nine people, all of them were wearing different kinds of clothes. They didn't seem to be anything special, but if one were to look closely, they would discover that all of them were wearing the same black gloves and a pair of black leather boots.
Even at their necklines, the same black neckline could be seen. Obviously, under the coat of this group of people, there was a uniform black special clothing.
Among these nine people, the leader was a young man with a stern expression. He had a head of black hair.
At this time, the young man took a step forward. He went directly to the wall in front of him, but something even more strange happened. As the young man stepped forward, the wall in front of him opened, revealing an empty room behind the wall.
The outside of the room was installed with floor-to-ceiling windows. At this time, looking out through the window, one could even see the bright neon lights in the distance like stars.
The time zone was different from that of Namibia. Namibia was located in the first district in the east while Los Angeles was located in the eighth district in the west. The time difference between the two was ten hours.
At this time, it was still early in the morning in Namibia, but it was already night in Los Angeles.
Walking out of the secret room with the eight people behind him, the young man could not help looking around, his eyes faintly gleaming. "Yes, this is Los Angeles. X, how's the situation in Kansas City?"
"In the Kansas City laboratory of Osmond Biotechnology, Professor Irwin has successfully developed AD-001, and everything is exactly the same as in the movie. Professor Irwin has deleted all the original data because of our existence, only keeping a backup copy, ready to send it to the company's board of directors together with AD-001."
From the earpiece, Little X's oriole-like voice could be heard. As time went by, Little X no longer had the adorable voice of a child. Instead, it had become the crisp and sweet voice of a young girl. It was very pleasing to the ear.
"Sure enough, the plot in the movie really happened."
Chen Chen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression neither sad nor happy. "In that case, let's not break the plot for the time being and let the plot maintain its original trajectory."
"Understood, the first batch of Black Knights has gone to Kansas City yesterday. They have arrived there now and captured Professor Irwin and his assistant, Kefir."
Little X replied.
"Irwin is an elite in the field of biology. Remember to bring him back."
Chen Chen nodded, then changed his tone and said in a deep voice, "But you have to remember, don't hold back when you let the Black Knights hunt down Keith. You must do your best to kill him. I want to see if I can kill the protagonist of the movie without violating the plot's flow!"
"Understood!"
Little X agreed. "What about you now?"
"I'm going to the headquarters of Osmond Biotechnology to meet the man named Parker."
Chen Chen said casually, "I'll wait there while I'm at it."
As he spoke, he opened the floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, and suddenly a gust of wind blew in.
"Wait, Sir Godfather..."
Just as Chen Chen was about to fly out directly, Little X suddenly hesitated to say something.
Hearing Little X's voice, Chen Chen immediately stopped. "What's wrong?"
"I found out from the police network that a very strange serial murder case has occurred in Los Angeles. The location is in the Herrank Warehouse District, only a few kilometers away from here..."
Little X said, "There's something wrong with this."
"What's wrong with it?"
Chen Chen's expression froze. Little X was the fastest supercomputer in the world. If she felt that something was wrong, it meant that something was really wrong.
"The location of the crime is the Herrank Warehouse District. There are countless items gathered from all over the world there, both inside and outside the district. Even the industrial park of our Eco Science City has a certain amount of international trade with this place."
Little X said softly, "But just the night before yesterday and last night, two murders suddenly broke out. The first was the night before yesterday, a worker in the warehouse district was killed by an unknown method by twisting his neck.
"At first, I thought this was just a coincidence. The Los Angeles police only investigated and collected evidence before retreating. However, just last night, the case suddenly escalated. There were eight more victims in one night and these eight people died in the same way. All of them died with their necks twisted and some of the victims even had their spines pulled out."
Hearing this, Chen Chen could not help showing a solemn expression. "Twisted neck? X, do you suspect that this is an abnormal murder case? "
"I'm not sure either. I just feel that Los Angeles has always been peaceful, but when we arrived, this suddenly happened."
Little X explained, "So I suspect that these changes might be related to our operation this time?"
"Maybe."
Chen Chen did not directly deny it. He raised his head and felt the constant gust of wind blowing in. "Maybe this is just a coincidence. Maybe all of this is really related to the plot of the movie, but we can't stop because of this anomaly, otherwise it'll easily disrupt the plot.
"I'm not sure what will happen if we disrupt the plot. Maybe nothing will happen, or maybe it will cause an even worse chain reaction. We might even be rejected by the rules of the world, just like in Final Destination. But as for what will happen, we still need to test it out a little bit."
As he said this, Chen Chen suddenly sighed, but then the corner of his mouth raised slightly. "X, haven't you noticed? Are we now the same as before, exploring the rules of the USB drive little by little? "
"Yes..."
Little X nodded uneasily.
"When it comes to that mysterious USB flash drive, just when we think we have understood it well enough, it always shows more changes. It's like an iceberg floating on the surface of the sea. You will never know how many parts of this iceberg are hidden below the sea level …"
Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and said quietly, "It's the same now. If I want to control the USB drive, I must continue to test out more rules, unless I'd rather stay put. This is a path we can't escape from."
"I understand, we won't run away from all of this."
In the headset, Little X's voice became solemn.
"Very good."
Chen Chen smiled. "Contact the computer 'Adam' of the Earth Federation headquarters and ask him to make a prediction to find out who the murderer behind this murder is. This is what we can do now. As for the rest, we'll proceed as usual."
"Understood!"
With Little X's assent, Chen Chen stepped out of the building with one foot. Standing in the strong wind, Chen Chen's clothes billowed in the wind. Then, he looked in the right direction and suddenly leaned his body forward. There was a loud bang!
In front of him, there was only a pool of scattered mist and Chen Chen's figure had completely disappeared without a trace!
