In Xiao Bei’s small clinic, Ji Hanyu opened the door with a weary and pale face.

Last night, just as Ji Hanyu arrived here, the virus in his body suddenly flared up.

Fortunately, Bai Haoxue had anticipated this situation beforehand, so he placed a vial of medicine in Ji Hanyu’s usual vehicle.

This way, even if he had an episode, he could drink the medicine in time and wouldn’t have to endure days and nights of life-and-death torment.

However, this medicine only serves to alleviate the pain, it only makes Ji Hanyu less miserable and frenzied than he would be during a true episode.

Even so, last night Ji Hanyu was still in excruciating pain.

But his pain tolerance has become insanely high, and he managed to endure it.

If it were an ordinary person, they would still suffer to the point of wishing for death, even with the medicine.

"Don’t go to work today, you don’t need that much money," Xiao Bei said, "Go home and have a good sleep."

Ji Hanyu stared at Xiao Bei, "Last night, on the phone, what did you mean when you said Bai Xiang was researching the virus?"

The virus flared up as soon as he arrived here, and they hadn’t had time to talk.

Xiao Bei took a sheet of paper filled with formulas out of a box of work notebooks, "I found this in one of Bai Xiang’s work notebooks. It was placed quite cautiously, stuck in the interleaf of the notebook.

The work notebook contains all sorts of formulas and configurations for new drugs that he proposed, calculated, and speculated on.

But this sheet of paper is different, which is why it caught my attention. However, for a moment, with just a few calculation steps and formulas, I couldn’t figure out much.

So, I followed his steps and practiced the operation once, and as a result, I configured this."

Xiao Bei took out a test tube from his lab, containing a muddy-colored liquid.

Xiao Bei glanced at the dead white mouse in the trash can beside him, "This is the result. This white mouse died shortly after licking a little of this stuff, so I called you.

The white mouse only licked a little and died, you can imagine how toxic this stuff is.

Generally speaking, for a professor of Bai Xiang’s caliber, concocting this kind of thing is strictly taboo.

Not to mention the strict demands from the higher-ups, if colleagues find out, it would be a scandal, and it’s a major taboo in this field."

Because they can easily concoct something lethal.

Z Country imposes strict controls on such substances. For instance, in everyday life, ordinary people can’t buy sulfuric acid or poison, and even buying a laxative requires the pharmacy to question thoroughly before they dare sell it.

Xiao Bei continued, "Before you came, I researched this white mouse again. The reason it died so quickly is that in a short period, the virus had corroded all its internal organs, and all its organs were already completely infected by the virus."

"Did you finish reading Bai Xiang’s work notebooks?"

Xiao Bei shook his head, "No, he has way too many work notebooks. Plus, sometimes when I see something that interests me, I try to configure it, or even add my ideas to improve it, so it’s quite slow."

Ji Hanyu said, "Put aside your interests, ideas, and improvements for now.

Look through his work notebooks to see if there’s any other virus, and if so, if that virus is related to the one I have, or the one that Li Mingmo originally had?"

Just as Ji Hanyu finished speaking, his phone rang. He intended to hang up immediately, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed the caller ID was Bai Haoxue’s...
