Thirteen prisons

Chapter 42 Disappointment
Lao Hu's guess is like a thunderstorm on a summer rainy night. Although there have been heavy rain and lightning as a foreshadowing, it still makes people feel dizzy and unacceptable to think of it suddenly.

Lin He escaped from the warehouse full of red slime; he dug up the grave of his dead girlfriend full of fear; after finding nothing unusual, Lin He still set fire to the body and burned it to ashes...

Although such a conclusion is unimaginable and has a great brain, Zhou Yuan has to admit that this assumption is logically correct, and with Lin He's personality he knows, it is indeed very possible to make such a conclusion. thing.

Zhou Yuan's emotions became extremely complicated, because it was hard for him to imagine what kind of mood Lin He was in when he was doing all this.

"It's just why Lin He hid in the warehouse. Could it be... he knew he was going to mutate, so he found a place with few people to hide?" Zhou Yuan thought about it carefully, but he was not sure that Lin He asked to go to Shibaligang Did you already have a hunch about this?

"It doesn't matter." Lao Hu said: "It doesn't matter whether he has a premonition of what will happen to his body or not. What is certain is that the red substance that appeared on him and Lin Jing should be a certain stage of this disease."

"After this stage has passed, those red substances will leave the body, just like the Lin He you met in Beiyang City, and the appearance will become normal." Lao Hu continued: "It is precisely according to this inference that Lu Ming It is guessed that Lin Jing will also have a great possibility to pass this stage safely. But this is not the final result, and continue to deduce according to this line of thought..."

Zhou Yuan's face changed: "If Lin Jing's symptoms are exactly the same as Lin He's..."

If the law of disease stages is really like this, then Lin Jing will definitely return to normal.But this kind of normality will only last for a while, and then, like her brother, she will enter the irreversible path of death—spontaneous combustion.And this road will inevitably be Zhou Yuan's own future.

There is no problem with the logic, it is very smooth.But this conclusion is so fucking cruel!
Not only Zhou Yuan was shocked, but even Hu Dongdong, who analyzed this conclusion, had an extremely dignified expression.

Both of them saw obvious disappointment in each other's eyes.

The purpose of coming here is to hope to find the reason why Lin He miraculously returned to normal from the video. Unfortunately, after some tossing, not only is the fog thicker, but it also proves that the strange disease is weird and unsolvable.

Zhou Yuan and Lao Hu were relatively silent, and silently shoveled the ashes back into the pit, filled the grave with new soil, and inserted the wooden sign again.Lao Hu lit three cigarettes, pressed a stone on the signboard, and said solemnly: "I don't know if this girl likes to smoke, but she is a ghost, so I'm afraid there are not so many taboos. She was disturbed by us after her death." , It really shouldn't be, I will apologize to you here."

After saluting and apologizing to the grave, the two walked out of the mountain in a dispirited mood.

After leaving the mountain, as soon as there was a signal, Zhou Yuan's cell phone reminded him of text messages one after another. Lu Ming sent four or five text messages during this period.Before he had time to click on the text message, Lu Ming's phone call arrived. Obviously, he had been making calls non-stop before.

"I've arrived in Daba Town, you guys come back as soon as possible." Lu Ming was as concise as ever.

"We just came out of the mountain and are about to go back." Zhou Yuan was in a low mood, and he was a little surprised that Lu Ming came back so soon.If it was a day ago, Zhou Yuan would definitely feel very happy, but now he is in a very depressed mood. He told all the previous discoveries and inferences, and finally asked: "Lu Ming, do you think Lin Jing and I are not the same? Is there really no hope?"

"Don't lose heart, there is hope."

"Then where's the hope?" After reaching the conclusion that it was bound to spontaneously combust, Zhou Yuan's mood had been depressed. Hearing Lu Ming comforting himself, he couldn't help shouting: "I know you want to comfort me, but Lin The living example of He is right in front of you! Even if nothing happens for a while, it will eventually..."

"Zhou Yuan!" Lu Ming interrupted Zhou Yuan loudly.There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Lu Ming's voice rang again: "The hope lies in Yan Yi. He has a problem. Think back to Lin Jing's attitude when he was ill."

Thinking about it carefully, Yan Yi's reaction at that time was indeed a bit strange. Although he looked panic-stricken, he was sure that Lin Jing's life would not be in danger. I don't know where that strange confidence came from. The only possibility was that he had already Knowing that Lin Jing's state is only temporary.

Zhou Yuan calmed down a little, hesitated and asked: "What do you mean, he has already found out that the red substance is from Lin He's body, and he also knows that Lin Jing's mutation is only a stage of the disease, but he didn't tell me? "

"As I said, I have a guess. This time I come back to verify this guess. You come back first and then talk about it." Before hanging up the phone, Lu Ming asked again: "Zhou Yuan, don't give up."

Lu Ming's phone call didn't make Zhou Yuan feel better, but it made Zhou Yuan wake up.He realized that his emotions just now were too negative. If he didn't control them and fell like this, he might really become a lunatic like Lin He.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuan called his parents.His parents had already returned to Beiyang City. This trip obviously made them very happy. After talking on the phone for a long time, Zhou Yuan realized that he hadn't communicated with his parents like this for a long time. Maybe it was a boy's relationship, maybe it was Influenced by the family environment, the attitude towards parents has always been alienated, especially after adulthood.Hearing how they missed him on the other end of the phone, Zhou Yuan wondered whether he should tell them about his current situation, but finally gave up.

Zhou Yuan didn't put down the phone until the phone ran out of battery, and his mood calmed down a lot.In any case, there are still people who are thinking about themselves, even for them, they should try their best to live well.

It was still Lao Hu who drove back to Daba Town from the forest farm. Unlike when they went there, they were talking and laughing. On the way back, neither of the two people in the Jinbei car had any interest in talking.

It was dark and early in the mountains at night, Zhou Yuan felt the wind blowing on his face outside the window, and looked up at the sky.There is no wind or cloud tonight, and countless stars hang high in the night sky, shining abnormally.But after looking at the sky for a long time, Zhou Yuan felt an illusion of weightlessness, as if his whole body was falling towards the night, and that sense of emptiness touched him a little.

Life is like the sky, bright and dark intertwined with ups and downs without end, but this sudden strange disease made Zhou Yuan see the end of his life in advance.If you don't know how to let him go with the flow, you will definitely collapse and die just like Lin He.When I came to this door for the first time, I had hope in my heart, but at this time, the hope that was not much had been extinguished like a flame in the wind.

But what has to be faced always has to be faced.Zhou Yuan adjusted his mood, took a deep breath, and hoped that Lu Ming could really find that glimmer of hope from this dead end.

After returning the rented Jinbei car in the town, someone stopped them after walking a few steps.

"Lu Ming?" Zhou Yuan was a little surprised: "What a coincidence? Didn't you arrive early?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "I'm here to wait for you. Go eat something first."

Only then did Zhou Yuan see that Lu Ming was empty-handed, he should have gone back to the small building to unload his luggage, but he didn't know why he made this special trip.

He found a small restaurant at random, and as soon as he sat down, Lu Ming took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Yan Yi told me his conclusion. I did the analysis myself and proved it. This It's the test results of those red filaments on Lin Jing's body."

Zhou Yuan took it over and looked at it, then frowned and handed it to Lao Hu.Lao Hu couldn't understand what the numbers and symbols on it meant, so he put the paper on the table: "Let's just say the conclusion."

"It's basically certain that these substances are her blood. I just don't know why, the blood was squeezed out of the body. Such a weird thing was formed."

Lao Hu frowned even tighter: "Blood blood means that blood is liquid, which is common sense that children know. Moreover, blood will solidify soon after leaving the human body. How could it become that semi-coagulated liquid? What about jelly?"

Lu Ming shook his head: "Generally all common diseases can cause changes in the blood, which is also the origin of the blood test. But now I just don't know what caused the blood in their bodies to coagulate in that state."

Hu Dongdong grasped the key words in Lu Ming's words and asked, "They? Did it prove that the red substance we brought back from the Wudou warehouse last time was actually blood? Why didn't Yan Yi tell us?"

"Maybe he doesn't think it's necessary to tell you, maybe he has another purpose...but I'll talk about it later." Lu Ming's eyes flickered: "Yan Yi is right, it is indeed blood. But there is another problem that confuses me .”

"I think you may not be able to believe it. Usually we study these two substances separately, but I took a piece of red substance that has matured and fallen off from Lin Jing's body, and tested it together with the red substance you brought back. Compare the results It shows that the DNA test data of the substances you found in the warehouse are the same as the substances that fell off Lin Jing's body."

"Same? What do you mean?" Zhou Yuan became nervous.

"All kinds of test data show that those things came from the same place as the things on Lin Jing's body. That is, her body. If we make inferences based on the analysis results, there is only one result..."

"Lin Jing is the one who has been to the warehouse." Lu Ming said word by word.

"How is it possible? What about Yan Yi? What did he say?" Lu Ming's words made Zhou Yuan's scalp tingle.It wasn't Lin He who went to the warehouse, but Lin Jing?This is ridiculous, why is she going?What else is this girl hiding from us?Zhou Yuan knew that he didn't have much imagination, but no amount of imagination could guess this kind of conclusion!

Lao Hu raised a question: "Then is there any possibility to prove that the blood is from Lin He? Or other possibilities?"

Lu Ming nodded and said: "Yes, the blood type change after stem cell transplantation, at present, the most likely situation is the change after transplantation of bone marrow stem cells. If a person suffers from blood diseases, such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, It is necessary to transplant other people's bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells. After the transplantation, the blood type of the patient may change. The reason is that the blood type incompatibility between the recipient and the donor can also be transplanted. After the bone marrow transplantation, the function of the patient's own hematopoietic stem cells gradually degenerates and even completely loses function. The transplanted donor's stem cells take over the hematopoietic function, so the patient's blood type gradually changes to the donor's blood type."

Hu Dongdong waved his hand and said, "Don't be so professional. I probably understand what you mean, that is, if the two of them have transplanted bone marrow to each other, it is possible to have such a result?"

Lu Ming said affirmatively: "But this possibility does not exist. Lin Jing has never had a bone marrow transplant."

At this time, the owner of the restaurant came over with the food, and the three of them stopped talking for a while, until the owner left for a while, Zhou Yuan said in a muffled voice: "You came to the town to wait for us to tell us that the problem lies in On Lin Jing?"

Without any hesitation, Lu Ming said firmly, "No. I believe those things came from Lin He, and have nothing to do with Lin Jing. So, the problem actually lies with Yan Yi."

Old Hu just picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork, his chopsticks stayed in the air, and asked: "Your statement is illogical. Just now you said that the analysis result was Lin Jing's problem, but now you say it's Yan Yi's problem. Lu Ming, This is the second time you say this today. What's going on?"

"I'm waiting for you in the town, there are two things." Lu Ming looked at Zhou Yuan: "First, I want to tell you that from now on, you have to reject all requests made by Yan Yi."

Zhou Yuan didn't know why, but still nodded, he must have more trust in Lu Ming than Yan Yi.

"The second thing is to tell you. Lin Jing has returned to normal."

This is obviously good news, but Lu Ming has a serious expression on his face.
