C1187 Unknown Object
It was destined that Morin would not be able to rest tonight. He walked to the side of the wooden box and squatted down. If Chu Yingloong did not find the key, Then could he smash it open?
It was late at night. Would smashing the chest attract Helian Bo's suspicion? After all, the sound of smashing the chest would be especially abrupt in this quiet night.
But if he didn't smash the chest open, Morin still wouldn't be at ease. What exactly was in this chest?
In the end, Morin didn't open the box. Maybe it was because he thought that it was too quiet in the night. If he did anything, it would echo in the entire valley. So he didn't do it.
He did not know when, but he had fallen asleep on the chest. Maybe it was because he had been too tense during this period of time. He was too tired.
When he woke up, it was already bright outside the house. Chu Yingloong's key might not be found yet. Because at this time, Medicine King or Chu Yingloong did not call him over.
He didn't find the key. Then let's wait a little longer. After all, this chest is so big, we can't just run away. Because, now... Morin still had something very important to do.
He remembered that when he came back last night, he found that all the bugs in the bottle had died. The dead bugs made Morin panic.
He had to go to the sulfur pool to take a look.
He and Medicine King had sealed the entire sulfur pool with large stones. He had to move those large stones before he could enter.
Just as he put his hand on the stones, he retracted his hand. He was afraid that those large stones would have those little black bugs attached to them. For a moment, he actually hesitated.
What should he do? Morin lingered outside the cave for a long time. He wanted to see if there was anything that could prevent him from getting hit.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he used the tranquilizer, these little black bugs moved very slowly. Yes, yes, yes. Tranquilizer.
When he used the tranquilizer earlier, he found that these things moved much slower. But he used water before, and now he needed powder.
So he went back to the laboratory, matched the tranquilizer with water, evenly applied the powder on his hands and bare arms, and then moved the big stones.
Fortunately, when the big stones were moved away, he did not find any small black bugs on the stones. Until he walked to the pool of sulfur pool water. Only then did he slowly discover the traces of the black bugs.
The pond water had been mostly eaten by them. It should be said that the water that gushed out from the bottom of the pool was no longer able to keep up with the speed at which the little black bugs were absorbing.
Moreover, compared to the previous situation, the number of these bugs seemed to have increased. Perhaps it was because of the surrounding spray of tranquilizers, So these little black bugs were not very active.
Of course, it could also be because the sulfur pool water was about to dry up. Therefore, the bugs were not very active anymore.
Anyway, the bugs did not show any signs of spreading around the sulfur pool. This was a good start. At least Morin didn't have to worry about the little bug spreading.
Morin found that these bugs were still very strong, and their signs of life were still intact. They were very different from the ones he brought back earlier.
In order to study why the little bugs he brought back earlier would die, he put these things into two different containers.
He opened a small hole on top of one of the containers to make it easier for the bugs to absorb oxygen. The other vessel was completely sealed.
He brought both vessels back to the laboratory. At the same time, in order to prevent the black bug from spreading out, he placed the two vessels into a larger sealed box.
He placed the sealed box on the experiment table. He needed to observe whether these things would die due to lack of oxygen, or perhaps because of something else.
But this observation would take some time. When he brought the small bottle back, it took him three days to discover that the bugs had died.
He didn't have the time to wait at all. If he didn't hurry up, Chu Yun might not be able to make it in time. What should he do?
He wanted to get the results of the experiment, but he didn't want to wait. Perhaps Morin only had one way now, and that was to draw out the vacuum.
He took out all the air in the bottle, and the oxygen in it gradually disappeared. Then he wanted to see if these bugs would slowly die because there was no oxygen.
Because he only wanted to prove that these bugs would die without oxygen. So he only took away all the oxygen in the sealed jar.
But the experiment made him realize that these bugs were still alive and kicking.1
Morin had been observing them. These little black bugs did not seem to have slowed down or died because they had lost their oxygen. On the contrary, they acted the same as when they had oxygen.
Then what was the reason that caused the death of the little black bug? Morin found it very strange. If it had nothing to do with oxygen, then there must be some external factors.
Thinking of this, Morin could only bring the dead little black bug to the laboratory for research.
He did not expect that when he was dealing with the little black bugs, he actually found something like alum in the bodies of these bugs.
Alum? Morin was even more confused. Why did these bugs have alum in their bodies? In Morin's laboratory, alum had never been used before.
Therefore, these insects could not consume alum in the laboratory. However, it was indeed in the body of the insects. He did check that there was alum. Who exactly placed the alum here?
Since Morin had doubts, he must find out. Therefore, he brought the whole box over to do the same research.
Sure enough, inside the box, he also found the existence of the alum.
There was alum on the box. That meant that the person poured alum from the box. But who was it?
Morin tried hard to recall the people who came to the cottage these two days. He and Medicine King were the only ones who had touched this box. Who else would touch the box other than the two of them?
Could it be that Medicine King was the one who put the alum in the bug? Morin didn't believe it. If Medicine King wanted to harm Chu Yun, why would he follow him and bitterly research the antidote for Chu Yun?
Moreover, if Medicine King really wanted to destroy the evidence, he wouldn't be stupid enough to have any possibility of being suspected.
