"What's wrong?" Xiaoli and Zhou Feng looked behind Zhang Mengdi's gaze together.

There was a frame hanging on the wall behind Xiaoli, inside it was an enlarged photo, a photo of a little girl. Zhang Mengdi obviously was so scared that she screamed after seeing this photo.

"She is my sister, what happened?" Zhou Feng was surprised by Zhang Mengdi's reaction.

"I dreamed of her."

"Ah? Have you dreamed of her? What did you dream about?" Zhou Feng's expression became extremely excited.

"It's nothing, I just saw her and then suddenly disappeared." Zhang Mengdi shook her head. She didn't trust Zhou Feng very much, and she didn't want to tell him too much about everything that happened in her dream.

"She is six years younger than me, and she pesters me all day long. She is very happy when she is with me and smiles sweetly." Zhou Feng fell into memories as he looked at his sister's photo.

"When I was thirteen years old, my sister was seven. One day, she suddenly fell ill and asked her what happened and couldn't explain clearly. She gradually became thinner... At that time, we only thought she was thinner, and I begged my father to take her to treat her, but my father just took her to see Dr. Li in the village, took some medicine, and then... she went like that."

"For that matter, I hated my father, and I vowed to get into college and then study modern medicine, and wanted to figure out the cause of my sister's death and the truth behind it all."

"Without the truth, there is nothing to face, and it makes people feel that there is no hope for life."

"The teacher who taught me said that I was very talented in the research of criminal behavior patterns. In the end, I did not become a doctor who cured diseases and saved people, but became a forensic doctor and gained a certain reputation in the circle. The success of my career allowed me to do something I wanted to do. I replaced all my savings since my work with these instruments and equipment, and secretly transported them back to the village one by one to establish this underground laboratory."

"My sister's death is the motivation I have been persevering over the years." Zhou Feng continued to murmur as he looked at his sister's photo.

After knowing Zhou Feng’s feelings for his sister, Zhang Mengdi was even more difficult to tell him about the experiences in his dreams. After all, she and the little girl were not getting along well in their dreams.

"Your physique is very special and you can get in touch with things that we can't get in touch with." Zhou Feng looked at Zhang Mengdi.

"Yes! I was sleeping at my grandmother's house, so I couldn't meet my grandmother's dream, but she met her. She slept here and met your dead sister. This is really an enviable superpower." Xiaoli also looked at Zhang Mengdi.

"Envy? Superpowers? If you want this kind of superpowers, just take it! I don't want such superpowers!" Zhang Mengdi smiled bitterly, and she said she didn't want to experience those nightmares again.

"Can you fall asleep again? If you can meet her again, can you help me ask her a few questions? Maybe it can help me solve some mysteries that have been in my heart for many years." Zhou Feng raised it to Zhang Mengdi.

"No! I will never fall asleep here again!" Zhang Mengdi shook her head vigorously. Without experiencing that horror, they could not imagine how much psychological harm her nightmares caused to her.

Seeing that Zhang Mengdi was so determined, Zhou Feng had to give up.

"By the way, you haven't answered me just now. Did my grandmother ask you a dream and tell you the cause of her death?" Xiaoli asked Zhang Mengdi again.

Zhang Mengdi glanced at Zhou Feng.

"It doesn't matter, Dr. Zhou is a good person." Xiaoli obviously trusts Zhou Feng quite a bit.

"I said to her: 'I know this is you asking me for a dream. Xiaoli asked me to ask about your cause of death. Can you tell me?' She replied to me: 'This is not a dream. Tell Xiaoli, leave here quickly!' This is what your grandmother asked me to bring you." Zhang Mengdi replied to Xiaoli. To do this to her friend, Zhang Mengdi felt that she had done her best. She would never want to experience the previous scene again.

"Isn't it a dream? Leave here?" Xiaoli frowned.

"What you just experienced was not a dream, what would it be? Could it be a dimensional space or something?" Zhou Feng had a strange expression on his face.

"Didn't she tell the cause of her death?" Xiaoli then asked Zhang Mengdi.

"I didn't say it." Zhang Mengdi shook her head.

Since there was no progress in Zhang Mengdi's dream, the three of them could only return to the laboratory to see how Zhou Feng's anatomy was.

Previously, because she had to wait for Xiaoli's grandmother to have a dream, Zhou Feng did not touch Xiaoli's grandmother's body, and it was not until now that she started various examinations.

Under the light, Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli found that grandmother's mummy had changed a little more than when she fell out of the coffin during the day.

"The corpse is 156 cm long and weighs 33 kilograms. The corpse is highly dry, so we can only barely recognize the facial features and the forehead bone is oblique! This is not like a normal human structure at all!" Zhou Feng was observing while recording the phonetic records.

"It's incredible! Do you know what this means? It's incredible!" Zhou Feng said in a surprising tone after a preliminary observation.

"If it weren't for humans, what would it be?" Xiaoli muttered, her grandmother was on the anatomy bed!

"From the current observation, this is more like a primate, maybe a chimpanzee or orangutan." Zhou Feng came to the conclusion after using a ruler to measure it.

"But she is obviously my grandmother! She was buried in my grandmother's grave! She was dropped before we went tonight?" Xiaoli was unwilling. She didn't want to be a descendant of a chimpanzee or an orangutan.

"I want to further study tissue samples and x-rays, and conduct blood type poison tests and a complete set of genetic tests. Some projects can be carried out in my laboratory, but some projects must be taken to the laboratory outside." Zhou Feng looked at Xiaoli. After all, this was her grandmother's body. No matter what he did, it would be better to obtain her consent. At least she did not object.

Xiaoli remained silent and did not object.

"The corpse was really transferred, right? Why do you look like an alien now?" Zhang Mengdi looked at Zhou Feng after carefully observing the corpse.

"Can someone make a prank?" Xiaoli frowned.

"There is a diamond-shaped black crystal in the palm of your hand, embedded in the flesh of your palm." Zhou Feng continued to inspect the body and made some new discoveries.

Zhou Feng used a scalpel to carefully dig out the diamond-shaped black crystal from his grandmother's palm and put it in a microscope and some detection instruments for observation. However, no matter what the composition of the unknown black crystal is, it is even more impossible to judge why there is such diamond-shaped black crystal in his palm.

There were no new discoveries in the following examinations and dissections. Further tests were made until the sample taken by Zhou Feng was tested by professional testing institutions in the outside world before he could draw a conclusion. At present, he does not want to conduct destructive testing for the time being.

"You said that Uncle Qiang's child is in the stage of mummification?" Zhou Feng confirmed to Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli.

"Yes." The two nodded.

"I'll visit Uncle Qiang tomorrow and see what Dongdong is doing personally. Maybe I'll find some new discoveries." Zhou Feng had a new plan.

After two o'clock in the middle of the night, the three of them were a little tired. Although the Zhou family's yard was large, Zhang Mengdi refused to sleep at the Zhou family and went back to Xiaoli's grandmother's house with Xiaoli to rest.

...

Perhaps because her grandmother's body was not nearby, Zhang Mengdi did not experience that horrible dream again. Finally, she had a good night's sleep and slept until 9:30 in the morning the next day.

When the two opened the door, Zhou Feng was already waiting in Xiaoli's grandmother's yard, and he prepared breakfast and brought it to the two of them.

After the two of them had breakfast briefly, they went to the nearby Uncle Qiang's house with Zhou Feng.

Xiaoli visited Uncle Qiang on the grounds that she expressed her gratitude to Uncle Qiang for helping her grandmother buried her, and deliberately asked about his son Dongdong. Uncle Qiang said that Dongdong was sick. Zhou Feng took the opportunity to say that he was a doctor and could help Dongdong see a doctor.

"He is currently at Dr. Li from the east end of the village, and his mother is with him." Uncle Qiang hesitated for a moment and answered Zhou Feng.

The three of them said goodbye to Uncle Qiang and walked towards the Li Chinese Medicine Clinic at the east end of the village.

Dr. Li is already in his seventies, and no one in the village knows him. The reason is very simple... Because the village is almost isolated from the world, when adults and children in the village get sick, they will go to Dr. Li to see a doctor and get medicine.

Because of his sister's death, Zhou Feng had an instinctive repulsion to Chinese Medicine Li and even the entire Chinese medicine group. He also learned Western medicine, but this did not prevent him from communicating and discussing medical aspects between him and Chinese Medicine Li.

In Li's clinic, the three of them met several patients.

They have one common characteristic, that is, they are inexplicably thin and disgusted with water.

Only Uncle Qiang's son Dongdong showed symptoms of dryness and dark skin, while others were just thin. According to Chinese Medicine Li, some of these thin patients had already controlled their condition after being treated with traditional Chinese medicine. Uncle Qiang's son Dongdong was more acute and he is still under observation at present.

"Have my grandmother ever treated here?" Xiaoli asked Dr. Li.

"No." A look of vigilance flashed in Li's eyes.

"I have received similar cases outside and treated. We have been looking for points related to these diseases and deaths." Zhou Feng lied to Dr. Li, and took the opportunity to learn more information by using his words. I think in the whole village, the person who knows the most about the disease of mummification is Dr. Li.

"Oh?" Chinese doctor Li's expression was obviously not convinced.

"Have you ever used hypnosis to treat these patients?" Zhou Feng asked Dr. Li again.

"No." Dr. Li shook his head.

"Perhaps hypnosis can remind them of things that they can't remember, and find similar places in their experiences, and find the real cause of the disease." Zhou Feng made suggestions to Li Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"Maybe." Dr. Li was absent-minded about this.

"Are you still treating them now? Are you finding any good solutions?" Zhou Feng changed the subject.

"Now? Yes, I'm still doing some traditional Chinese medicine treatments to them. Some ingredients were broken down from the poisonous mushrooms I collected from the mountain. Only a small amount would not cause them to be poisoned, but they could relieve their pain and even hope to reverse their symptoms." Chinese medicine doctor Li pointed to the large bags of mushrooms piled up in the corner of the wall.

"Your clinic has been treating such patients for many years, right?"

"Yes."

"Can I look at these patients? Ask them some questions? Perhaps I can understand this rare disease from the perspective of Western medicine." Zhou Feng pointed out to Li Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"It will be a little difficult, they find it difficult to communicate, and some patients have a very bad temper..." Dr. Li was a little hesitant.

"It's okay, the patients I've been in contact with before are very irritable, and I've even been beaten by the patient's family several times."

"All right."

...

Zhou Feng's inquiry of the patients did not go smoothly, and the mental states of these patients seemed to be in trouble. They basically talked about themselves and were all about things in daily life, which sounded worthless.

Zhou Feng examined the palms of each patient, but did not find any diamond-shaped black crystals similar to grandma on their palms.

A fifteen or six-year-old girl was not like a patient, but kept secretly watching Zhou Feng, Zhang Mengdi and Xiaoli. When the three of them looked at her, she seemed to not want to talk to them and hid aside.

She called Li Chinese Medicine Grandpa, and it seemed that she should be Li Chinese Medicine Granddaughter.

Zhang Mengdi intends to talk to her, but the little girl doesn't like to talk much. Zhang Mengdi finally only learned that her name is Li Yan.

In Li's clinic, except for Uncle Qiang's son Dongdong, who has already become dry and unconscious, the other patients are basically thin, but there is one exception.

He is a thirteen-year-old boy with a normal body and no symptoms of dryness.

"His name is Zhou Jun. He suddenly fell into a coma for no reason a year ago. To be precise, he was in a certain vegetative state. What happened to him and his sister Xiaolan, Xiaolan was in a better condition than him. He was not in a coma, but he had to live in a wheelchair." Chinese medicine doctor Li introduced the situation of Zhou Jun and his sister Xiaolan.

"Xiaolan? This is Dr. Zhou. Do you want to talk to them?" Dr. Li walked over to Xiaolan.

"I'm not available, Xiaodong asked me to tell him a story." Xiaolan shook her head.

"He likes you to tell him stories?" Zhang Mengdi intentionally got close to Xiaolan.

"Yes, he needs me to guard him." Xiaolan nodded.

"Dr. Li, can you ask me to do some simple examination for Xiaolan? Maybe I can find out why she cannot stand up." Zhou Feng asked Dr. Li.

After hearing Zhou Feng's words, Xiaolan suddenly became crazy and shook her wheelchair angrily, but she fell to the ground.

"Xiaolan, what are you doing?" Dr. Li yelled at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan started crying.

"No one will hurt you, don't be afraid!" Zhang Mengdi hurried forward to comfort Xiaolan.

Xiaolan gasped in big mouthfuls, and the muscles on her face seemed to become a little stiff.

Zhou Feng also walked over quickly and took the opportunity to pull Xiaolan's palm away. He found that there was a black thing in her palm, which felt a little hard to touch, but did not form black diamond crystals.
