Mysterious creature sightings

Ling Jiangyue's case seems to be easy to investigate. You can get her life and key experiences by checking her information internally, and then follow up to visit Dalinggou, the welfare home and Jiayu Hospital.

But if, as Lin Zheng guessed, she was related to illegal research institutions at home and abroad, then it would not be difficult to falsify these experiences.

What Lin Jia needs to do is to investigate the truth and falsehood, and make a series of connections between what Ling Jiangyue did after returning to the Ling family to see if there is anything suspicious.

She went to the orphanage, to Dalinggou, and inquired about the past affairs of the Ling family. Everything seemed to be fine, but at Jiayu Hospital, she heard an inconspicuous news.

"She went to Jiayu Hospital to see a doctor because she had a cold and a fever, but the doctor said her cold symptoms were a bit strange. He described them in a messy way, and it was more like being dizzy and hallucinating."

Lin Zheng was ready to hear the news that Ling Jiangyue was a member of an illegal organization, but the direction of the investigation still surprised him: "Having hallucinations?"

Lin Jia: "Yes, her behavior was normal at the time, and she seemed to be used to this symptom. So I went to the welfare home to ask again."

"The dean who has been there for more than ten years said that she still remembers Ling Jiangyue. When she was about nine years old, she fell ill and was a little dull. It took more than half a year to recover. During that time, she often cried and fussed. She always told people that she saw something like sunlight on the trees, and they thought there was something wrong with her eyes. However, because of her poor condition, they did not take her to a major hospital to have her eyes checked until she recovered on her own half a year later. "

Maybe it’s not that it’s better, but it’s just that I didn’t say it again.

It's a bit pitiful that the biological daughter of the Ling family would actually have problems because she couldn't afford to see a doctor.

Lin Zheng did not express any emotion about this, and asked in a deep voice: "Does this have anything to do with what we guessed?"

Lin Jia would not pay attention to news that had nothing to do with business for no reason.

"No, but it's very strange, and it may explain why she was the only one who saw the black shadow in the lake that day," Lin Jia took a breath, she was shocked by the result, "There is something abnormal in her body."

"On the day the Ling family found her, they did a paternity test at Jiayu Hospital. Venous blood and hair follicles were used. The data on the breakdown products of adrenaline in the blood test was a little abnormal. At that time, the doctor thought it was caused by a cold and didn't pay much attention."

"But I discovered an unusual term and had it analyzed, and found that there might be a component called adrenochrome in her body."

This term is somewhat familiar, but they usually only know about animals, plants, insects and fungi, and are not well versed in human hormones.

Lin Zheng asked directly: "What's wrong with this ingredient?"

"May cause schizophrenia."

"Schizophrenia?" This trend became even more strange. He frowned tightly, "She doesn't look like someone with such symptoms. The Ling family has not discovered that she has such a tendency."

Lin Jia: "This is just one of the problems that adrenaline can cause. The key point is to affect people's consciousness. That is to say, even if it is not as severe as schizophrenia, it will still have an impact on the brain, and it can cause auditory hallucinations. Sights and smells, such as Ling Jiangyue's ability to see shadows that others cannot see, and the energy of trees. Don't you think this sounds familiar?"

energy?

Hallucinations, psychosis, energy, altered consciousness…

Putting these words together, Lin Zheng finally remembered how adrenochrome sounded familiar to him, and solemnly spat out a few words: "Causing, hallucinating, agent."

Lin Jia: "Yes, it's like the symptoms after taking hallucinogens, or one of them - mescaline! Because theoretically, it is possible for the human body to produce components with similar effects to mescaline. .”

Mescaline is a chemical component discovered and extracted by German scientists in 1897. It was first used as a treatment for mental illness. After taking it, strange ideologies will appear and various hallucinations will occur. In severe cases, it will lead to more serious illnesses. Schizophrenia.It is now classified as contraband.But in the past, this was a miraculous drug that had many effects, such as being used to change mental abilities, and was very popular for a while. "The Door to Wonders" was written by the author based on this hallucinogenic effect.

Thinking of "The Door of Wonders", Lin Jia also mentioned this: "The book also mentioned in detail that the hallucinations produced after taking the medicine include 'seeing the energy of things'. The way they look at objects will become different, and they can see normal things." The invisible colors, air shapes, and energy fluctuations are more consistent with Ling Jiangyue's physical abnormalities."

"However," she added the difference, her tone was slightly excited, "Mescaline is a chemical component outside the body, but adrenochrome is produced by the human body itself. It has similar effects but different toxicity. You know some people say that mescaline can change The human brain, right?”

Lin Zheng understood.

Ling Jiangyue's brain may have been altered by adrenaline, allowing him to see energy fluctuations they couldn't see.

That's why when the eel monster emitted infrasound waves that day, she saw a black shadow in Lover's Lake. Now it seems that the black shadow may not be the size of the eel monster, but the energy form of the sound wave.

It's incredible, but they often interact with people from the Department of Human Sciences and know that there are indeed special people in the world, so they don't dare to believe it.

He took a few deep breaths, and his thoughts had to change from "Suspicion that Ling Jiangyue is a member of an illegal organization that trades mysterious creatures for profit" to "The suspicious things about Ling Jiangyue are all because of her special visual ability."

But - he looked back at Jiang Yuxing and Xu Jiayan - it was such a coincidence that they got such good news just when they were about to form a scientific expedition team, when they needed a guide.

Jiang Yuxing didn't know what he was talking to Lin Jia. He only heard a few words, hallucinations, schizophrenia, etc. Didn't Lin Jia go to investigate Ling Jiangyue? Why did he mention schizophrenia?Is it possible...

Lin Jia was poisoned with mescaline, causing hallucinations and turning into psychosis? !
Just as he was about to ask, he heard Lin Zheng knocking on the table and saying slowly: "This is just a guess. And this ability cannot explain why she appeared at the scene of the crime twice in a row, or why the eel monster's infrasound waves are so strange."

Lin Jia: "Yes, but if this is true, you know how helpful she is to our work. We do not lack biologists or people who are proficient in electronic equipment and surgery, but we just lack a pair of mysterious organisms." Sensitive people.”

Meaning it's worth the risk.

He was silent for a few seconds and then asked: "Have you asked someone from the Department of Human Sciences about the role of adrenochrome?"

"After asking, some research projects decades ago did have precedents of using mescaline to change mental states. Adrenochrome does have a similar effect, but the possibility of the human body producing this component is very low. "

It means that if this is true, then Ling Jiangyue is one of a million, not suitable for their profession.

Lin Zheng gave an unknown laugh: "That's a coincidence. We happened to receive another sighting. Someone said that they saw a transparent humanoid creature near the Jiyi Rift Valley. The sonic detector detected a place at the bottom of the valley. There is no way to go further, and I am planning to form a team to conduct on-site inspections.”

If someone with this ability can serve as a guide, the success rate will be much higher.

Lin Jia: "I know you..."

"Needless to say," he changed his tone again, expressing his affirmation, "Let's go to Ling's house and borrow a researcher from the Department of Human Sciences to go with us."

It doesn’t matter if you have doubts. It’s easier to spot clues if you keep them close by to monitor you.

Dang Dang Dang!Did anyone guess it?
If Jiang Yue wants to infiltrate the Special Investigation Office and ask the mysterious person to help find a very logical reason that can withstand scrutiny, then of course he has to show some of his abilities!It just so happens that this ability is much needed by the Special Investigation Division, so even if Lin Zheng still doubts her, there is a high possibility that she will be recruited as a non-staff member.

Then Jiang Yue's plan began to move into the second part.
