Dongzhou.

Near the harbour, there is an inconspicuous town.

Most of the residents here make a living by fishing, and their lives are peaceful and stable. Seagulls are flying above their heads. Under the blue sky, a few children are playing and running on the beach with barefoot.

On another relatively secluded coast, there are reefs, and the water flow becomes turbulent here, and the sea water hits the reef, causing waves.

Dr. Liao sat on one of the reefs, staring blankly into the distance, as if waiting for something.

Today, instead of wearing the white coat that seemed to be on his body, he changed into a relatively casual, short-sleeved shirt at home, and even a pair of flip-flops on his feet.

The light around him was slightly distorted, and another figure appeared silently in front of him.

The other party blocked the sunlight. In the shadow, Dr. Liao raised his stiff head, looked at the strange face, slightly surprised, then smiled like a self-deprecatingly, and said:

"I didn't expect that you came in person."

Zhou Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, glanced at him with a chilling gaze, suddenly sighed, then sat beside him, opened the thermos he carried with him and took a sip.

"You told Sinny Grant about Xia Ren?"

"Um."

Dr. Liao admitted frankly.

Zhou Yuan paused: "There is also the antidote for this time... What are the consequences of betrayal of immortality, you should know."

Dr. Liao looked at the sky and closed his eyes: "Let me break myself, at least I can leave a whole body."

In the end, he didn't let Zhou Yuan take action because he was afraid of leaving traces and let his colleagues at the foundation notice.

After all, I want to keep a decent identity.

Zhou Yuan opened the thermos he carried with him, took a sip, shook his head and said helplessly: "It's better to be simpler in life."

The sound of stones falling into the turbulent flow was immediately covered by the aroused waves.

A black crow fell on his shoulder.

"You released the news from that town on purpose. Why don't you tell him that finding the antidote is also part of your plan?"

“…No wonder they don’t like you.”

After being teased for no reason, the crow didn't want to pay attention to him anymore and flew away with his wings.

Zhou Yuan sat alone on the reef. After a long time, he slowly stood up and disappeared from the spot.

...

...

At the beginning of the New Era 1107, a series of unknown events happened.

Only a small number of people can know the truth.

After a long time, people looked back on this period and the name that first entered their sight, so that they could barely guess the whole picture of the incident from clues.

The only useful ingredient in the special medicine produced by Dr. Liao is actually a yellow fungus, but this yellow fungus has been improved by its ability, and some of the properties are different from the original version.

The most obvious difference is that the yellow fungus contained in the special medicine is self-limiting and has a short life cycle. It is basically impossible to reproduce without a specific laboratory environment.

After being infected with a yellow fungus with self-limiting nature, the patient will develop symptoms of drowsiness. After three to five days of parasitization of the yellow fungus, the atypical larvae basically die, and the parasitic time required for the yellow fungus to kill the host is about 15 days.

The yellow fungus contained in the special medicine can only last for two days from parasitization, proliferation, to the decline of the bacterial population. Therefore, as long as it is not taken forever, it will not threaten human life safety.

The first Anjing Capsule has not yet been produced, and the overwhelming publicity has begun, including billboards, bus advertisements, video blogger recommendations, website advertisements, news advertisements, toilet compartments stickers... and so on. Anywhere where advertising can be made, Anjing Capsule appears.

Almost overnight, this name that had never been heard of before was deeply imprinted in everyone's mind.

But at first, not many people had the desire to buy, because according to publicity, Anjing Capsules is just an ordinary drug that can relieve insomnia and anxiety. There are already a wide range of drugs in the same drug market. Anjing Capsules manufacturers are not well-known pharmaceutical manufacturers, and no one has taken their drugs, so they actually have no competitive advantages.

However, people do not know that their choice is no longer in their own hands.

Before the special drugs appeared, the way Superman Association prevented the spread of the severely affected areas was to give local people a secret treatment of neurological drugs. These drugs can keep people excited to a certain extent, resulting in insomnia.

Now, in order to get everyone to take special medicines, the Superman Association, the Foundation, and the Supreme Alliance government have joined forces to spread neurologic drugs that can cause insomnia across the Blue Star. Whether it is towns or remote suburbs, whether it is young children or elderly people, it ensures that no one can escape.

Although insomnia in human society can have serious consequences, this consequence is insignificant compared to eliminating the plague.

A few days later, people who were mentally depressed and anxious due to insomnia began to seek solutions. Their eyes naturally began to shift to the most popular calming drug - Anjing Capsule.

Then the official news media also began to sell goods. With overwhelming publicity, Anjing Capsules instantly exceeded demand.

In some economically backward areas, the government will purchase them uniformly and distribute them as free of charge as welfare.

Before this wave of insomnia could have a profound impact on society, it disappeared silently.

In the future, when the atypical phobia epidemic is completely controlled, Anjing Capsules will be included in the prescription drug to prevent people from abuse and causing serious consequences.

As for why it does not spread special drugs like spreading neurologic drugs, this is because self-limiting yellow fungi cannot cope with complex external environments. If it is put into tap water or other foods, it will cause the fungi to lose activity. Therefore, it is the safest way to store it in capsules in the form of drugs.

However, the disappearance of the plague is not without a price. Any human being parasitized by yellow fungi will inevitably undergo minor aberrations.

This distortion will not have any effect on humans at present, but from now on, its traces will continue to accompany humans until their demise.

When the sales of Anjing Capsules had just reached its peak, and the atypical phobia plague was about to be completely eliminated, Xia Ren received a call from Niu Changshou and learned about Dr. Liao's suicide.

He was stunned for a while and couldn't say anything.

Dr. Liao did not leave any suicide note. In the last time of his life, he returned to his hometown and met his family, and chose to jump into the sea to commit suicide.

After the foundation salvaged the body that was swollen and white by sea water, many people still couldn't accept the result, including colleagues involved in the research on special medicines.

Xia Ren went to Dr. Liao's funeral.

The funeral of this foundation’s S-level investigator is no different from that of ordinary people. Dr. Liao’s family only knows that he is a master in the field of medical research and has never been married for life, and does not know that he has other identities.

In order not to have any impact on his family, the Foundation and Superman Association restrained themselves from going too much, and only sent a few representatives to attend the funeral.

What surprised Xia Ren was that Tang Tangtang, who had been cultivating his body, also came. When he was sitting at the same table with them, he heard them mention that since the special medicine was successfully developed, Dr. Liao's condition has become a little wrong.

But the people who were in the carnival at that time were not alert, but just thought that Dr. Liao might have been too tired and had no good rest.

But unexpectedly, this will eventually lead to this result.

Tang Tangtang said with great remorse, if Dr. Liao had not given himself the [100% safe umbrella], he would not have been infected by fungi.

Xia Ren recalled the last time he met Dr. Liao in the quarantine area.

He was like a cold stone in the middle of the noisy crowd, perhaps there had been an unknown sign at that time.

Dr. Liao's symptoms are like losing emotions, or as if he is despair after seeing the cold and lonely truth of the universe.

In short, it should be related to the yellow fungus he studied.

There is always an invisible silk thread on the yellow fungus. This thread spans endless space and the world, connecting the old dominant, transcendent, Vibr.

Perhaps Dr. Liao, like himself, also realized the insignificance and humility of human beings, but when he walked out, he fell regretfully halfway.

Damn pollution can always give you a painful blow when you feel that you can defeat it and then make a sarcastic laugh.

Unfortunately, the hero who killed the dragon eventually died before everyone cheered and failed to enjoy his glory.

...

...

New Era 1107, January 5.

"After that being said, why is Sima Gangdan still the same!"

Xia Ren was sitting in the first class flight to Beizhou, looking at the magazine handed over by the flight attendant, and was very upset.

"Hahahahaha!"

The reply mirror on the side did not hide his gloating expression.

Since she just saw the name on Xia Ren’s boarding pass, she has never stopped laughing.

Lu Yi quickly snatched control of her body, covered her mouth with both hands, looked at the boss with innocent eyes, and said that she did not do it on purpose.

Qin Yun also smiled aside. Only Lily looked at this and that, and didn't understand why everyone laughed.

Qin Yun is now the major shareholder of Changsheng Pharmaceutical. With Anjing Capsules being sold globally, her current value has exceeded one trillion yuan, and she is a truly rich woman.

Xia Ren closed the magazine depressedly, but unexpectedly found that there was a string of phone numbers written on the back of the magazine.

He raised his head and happened to see the charming eyes thrown by the flight attendant.

Shaking his head helplessly, Xia Ren closed his eyes and rested, preparing for the next reading of the magic scripture.

Atypical phobia has been confirmed to be under effective control. With Niu Changshou's recommendation, Xia Ren had received an invitation from the Disaster Research Institute within the Superman Association two days ago.

Now, in addition to being a A-level legend investigator at the foundation, he also has the identity of a disaster consultant from the Superman Association.

Of course, if you have to count, he actually has the identity of a rich woman as a young man.

In fact, these days, Qin Yun has received invitations from members from many banks, as well as invitations from medical associations, pharmaceutical associations, health products associations, wealthy clubs, 10 billion elite chambers of commerce, official news media and other large numbers of organizations. Everyone wants to see what this suddenly rises woman is, but because they don’t know Qin Yun’s specific address, they can only send it to Changsheng Pharmaceutical, which has led to Qin Yun being very busy these days.

Although their identities cannot be exposed to the public's vision, the things they handle are basically related to pollution. Normally, it is enough to have the relationship between the foundation and the Superman Association.

Moreover, these two organizations have much greater capital than other banks, but there is an extra process to do business through the foundation, and the foundation is not fully trusted, and even some relatively secret information cannot be investigated.

For example, the Eternal Club, once it is involved in a certain height, the foundation's information advantage is not as good as that of some private wealthy clubs.
