Krafft's Anomaly Notes

Chapter 24 I Have a Premonition I'm Late

"This is really...unexpected."

Kraft finished reading the letter in his hand, and handed it to the curious Lucius.

They were sitting in Professor Kalman's room, the one where the three of them had barley tea and biscuits when Kraft first came.While Kraft was checking the letter, Lucius boiled a pot of water on the small stove and added two cups of barley tea to the table, but he couldn't find the professor's jar of honey.

After staying in the castle for a month, Kraft was finally driven back by his grandfather to officially take office.After arriving, I rested overnight in the hotel, and planned to come to the college the next day to inquire about the details before considering long-term housing.

Not long after he entered the medical school, he was stopped by a student he didn't know, who claimed to be a friend of Lucius.As early as seven days ago, Lucius told them that if they see Lecturer Kraft, please inform him.

Kraft followed the student through the winding corridors of the medical school, up winding steps, through several arches, and finally found Lucius in the professor's private room, fretting over a table of papers.

I have to say that the building of the medical school is quite complicated, and it is not the first time I have come here. It may be that there are too many meaningless decorative columns and occlusions, and different space allocations are used on each floor. I feel that every time I walk The roads are different.

After bringing Kraft, the student bid farewell and left.Lucius put down half of the papers in his hand, took out an official letter sealed with wax from the inner pocket of the black robe, and handed it to the dazed Kraft with excitement after waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Kallman trusts your talent and enthusiasm in this area." Lucius's impatientness was written on his face, "Now that we have two people, we can continue to improve according to the arrangement of the instructor before he returns. The study of black liquor."

"Thank you, Professor Kalman, for your trust, but I still have some doubts." Kraft reached into the bottom of the envelope and touched a copper key. It seemed that he didn't have to think about the housing issue for the time being.

Although they met each other not long ago, Professor Kalman seems to be very optimistic about himself, and he is willing to share such important things, and even gave him precious samples and experimental results.Kraft was very moved by this, and it was completely reasonable to do his best to help.

According to the description in the letter, it was difficult for him to imagine what this thing that had been almost confirmed as "black liquid" corresponded to in his own knowledge system.

White fluid can be considered as cerebrospinal fluid; yellow fluid, which basically corresponds to bile; red fluid, of course, is blood.But what this black liquid is really makes people confused.And judging from the meaning in the letter, they are probably extracted from some tissue in the human body, and after extraction, they can be stored for a long time and retain their properties.

What's even more outrageous is that I don't know if it's because the container is so powerful, or if this thing has become so stable that someone was actually sent to carry it from Dunling to Wendeng Port in his pocket?This so-called "inhibition" property is a question mark for Kraft, and it is estimated that he will not know until he sees the detailed experimental records.

"So, according to the letter, what we consider to be "black liquid" for the time being is indeed extracted from the human body."

This scene made it hard for Kraft to imagine, what is "extracting" from the human body?Here, the word is generally used to make another liquid from a liquid such as medicinal liquid or alcohol through heating distillation, or standing still. The second half of "Humorology" is more like to use, but they are all used to extract some ingredients from concoctions and decoctions, and drink them to "regulate the balance of body fluids".

It just doesn't feel right.

"I remember the professor said that the church over there is very strict, and there is little opportunity to do such things." Kraft said.The professor had complained to him before that Dunling's anatomy was helpless, thanks to the church's huge influence there.

"I don't know." Lucius didn't care about this. After all, he had been studying in Wendeng Port, and he was with Professor Kalman. Finding a dead body for a secret autopsy is not a problem at all. "Teacher's tutor, I mean Mo Professor Lisson is not an ordinary person at Dunling University, so there must be some way out? The tutor has not been back to Dunling for a long time, and he should have found a way over the years."

Kraft used his powerful memory and thought about it again, but he still couldn't figure out how to make such a liquid in the human body.

He strongly suspected that it was an instrument problem that caused them to inadvertently make some toxic liquid.Maybe there are heavy metals in the raw materials for making glass instruments, which are mixed in during the heating process.Then, Professor Morrison, who had no sense of experimental safety, fed the sample to the animals, or simply tasted it himself with a fearless spirit.

The explanation makes sense, if heavy metals or other neurotoxic things are suffocated, the central nervous system will be inhibited.It may be a series of symptoms of dizziness and weakness, which soon manifested in animals and people.

It's done, isn't this a strong inhibitory effect?

"Uh, Lucius, before I go to see the real thing, I want to ask how much there is and what is it used for?" Kraft carefully observed Lucius' appearance and assessed his mental state.Other than a little excitement, there is nothing wrong with it for the time being.

Lucius gestured the size of the circle between his thumb and index finger: "It's a round glass bottle like this, brown, with only one bottom in it. When the professor is experimenting, dip a little stick out and dissolve it in the water. use.

Why don't I show you directly, the sample is in the basement of the academy.We dissolve a little in a glass of water, and a person will fall into a deep sleep after taking a sip. "

"You give it to others?!" Kraft was shocked, at most he knew the vicious operation of swallowing Helicobacter pylori, which is nothing compared to this.

"No, it's just that my mentor and I took turns to try it. No one else here knows it exists." Lucius's focus was obviously completely different from that of Kraft, and he stretched out his hand excitedly to show Kraft a few pictures above. A red dot, "It's amazing, it's just a little bit. After drinking it, you will fall into a deep sleep immediately, and your heartbeat and breathing will slow down. At this time, you can't wake up with acupuncture. You won't wake up until about a day later. know what's going on during that time."

"Huh?!" This kind of operation is completely beyond Kraft's imagination.The bravest record in his two lifetimes combined was probably in high school chemistry class, because he wanted to smell the gas made by his group out of curiosity.

Try to drink a sip of the unknown liquid that sleeps for a day, or drink it in turn, this behavior is on the same level as gambling in Russian roulette, or even worse.If he did this by himself, if he could brag to Granny Meng before drinking soup at Qiaotou, the devils in hell would look at him with admiration.

"Sit down." Kraft pushed Lucius onto the chair, "I'll check you, don't ask why."

While touching Lucius here and there, he questioned him rigorously: "How long ago did you drink it? How many times did you drink it? After losing consciousness, did you have any other symptoms besides the weakening of heartbeat and breathing?" Changes? Is there any discomfort after waking up? How is your spirit recently? Has there been any change in food intake? Did you sleep well?

"No, everything is normal." Lucius was surprised by his sudden seriousness, "According to "Humanology", as long as the fluid in the human body does not have a tendency to turn into black fluid in large quantities, a small amount of temporary black fluid will increase. It’s just a temporary change. The professor is fine, so how can someone younger like me have a problem?”

"Nonsense!" Kraft gave him a physical examination from head to toe, and there seemed to be no obvious abnormalities.The simple inspection didn't make him feel relieved, but made him even more vigilant.

Very small amount, rapid onset of oral administration, loss of consciousness for a day, pain can not be awakened.A little suspicious, he even began to wonder whether Lucius' current excitement was the expectation of continuing the experiment, or a manifestation of mild personality changes and mental abnormalities.

Kraft took two steps back and took another look at Lucius, his gaze sweeping from head to toe.From his brown hair, slightly pale face, to his hands with a few red dots, he finally looked at the paper he was sorting out when he came in.

The pale yellow paper covered most of the tabletop, and most of the handwriting on it was slightly scribbled but still aesthetically pleasing, and the typesetting was more casual.The font sizes on different papers are different, should they be written together.Some have been stacked, and the rest are scattered around in a mess, with the teacup of barley tea sitting on the edge.

"what are these?"
