Since Geng Shaofei is a member of this department, he has the most information about the Research Department. Upon closer inspection, we discovered that this department has countless subdivisions. For instance, the subdivision where Geng Shaofei works is called Human Research, which primarily conducts experiments on living subjects. Geng Shaofei's subordinates are also divided into several factions.
For example, the white coats we encountered at Spring Return Nursing Home can be categorized under Limb Transplantation. Scientifically speaking, what this faction does is still credible. For instance, arm and leg transplants have already seen successful cases around the world. However, the risks involved in such procedures are high, and there aren't enough donors available, which has hindered widespread adoption.
Of course, when we talk about limb transplantation, we refer to arms and legs; however, the experiments conducted by those white coats involve direct brain transplants and head transplants. This places their work at the forefront of global research. While finding corpses may be relatively easy, locating volunteers willing to have their heads severed is quite rare. After all, during these experiments, it is required that the donor's brain must be alive, necessitating a living person for the procedure.
But who would be willing to do such a thing? Thus, organizations can only establish nursing homes like Spring Return to find homeless elderly individuals for human experimentation.
In addition to this limb faction, Geng Shaofei's subordinates also include the Gene Faction. This group believes that limb issues are trivial; as long as they can study the main structure of the brain's cortex, individuals can use their own bodies to overcome their deficiencies. The subtle differences between people essentially come down to genetic variations—specifically, differences in DNA arrangements. Humans and chimpanzees share only a 1% difference in DNA, yet that small difference distinguishes us from them. For example, the FOXP2 gene that enables our language abilities differs from that of chimpanzees by just two amino acids; yet this minor variation results in a vast chasm between our linguistic capabilities and those of chimpanzees.
Therefore, this faction believes that if they can solve DNA-related issues, individuals could resist various diseases in the world through their own means. For instance, plague originates from rats; however, rats themselves do not die from it. If humanity could grasp this concept, then humans would become immune to all viruses.
For example, if a person contracts cancer, they would only need to alter their DNA arrangement to change the pathogen and restore their health. Achieving this requires further exploration of the brain's potential.
At this point in their research, they have largely strayed from scientific reasoning. There have always been rumors claiming that humans only utilize ten percent of their potential; however, true science tells us that this theory is fundamentally flawed. The individuals who propagate this idea merely suggest that people use only ten percent of their potential—not specifically referring to the brain itself. Their original intent was to motivate others to strive harder but it has been misinterpreted as a specific reference to brain capacity.
This notion represents one of the most challenging dilemmas in the world; much of this group's research lacks credibility. At least these individuals base their hypotheses on some scientific principles and conduct studies accordingly. However, many other subdivisions within the Research Department delve purely into superstitions.
For instance, there is a department called Folk Remedies Department where members collect various dubious folk remedies. Among them, Geng Shaofei recorded a remedy suggesting that if one suffers from lung disease, they should not be afraid but instead walk barefoot in circles on the second floor while urinating; supposedly this would cure them quickly.
This is utterly nonsensical and appears comically absurd upon examination. To be frank, most of these folk remedies exploit certain self-healing properties of diseases. For example, if you have tonsillitis and refrain from spicy foods while drinking plenty of water for a while, it often resolves itself (though I still advise you to visit a hospital early). Yet some people believe in folk remedies claiming that eating leeks while squatting on the toilet will cure them. After following this advice for several days, they find their tonsillitis has indeed subsided.
In reality, it was bound to heal on its own regardless of whether they squatted or ate leeks. I could tell you that if you wipe your face with a foot towel before bed every night you'll get better; eventually you would too. Of course, that's just an example but it's generally similar across the board. Most folk remedies tend to "align" closely with science enough to leave people confused yet believing; after being persuaded by a few individuals, they come to regard these remedies as effective.
Then there are groups like those practicing spirit possession—this is even more superstitious. They utilize beliefs about ghosts and deities for disease treatment; whenever something goes wrong they claim it's due to being afflicted by something unclean or possessed by a spirit. I can't even be bothered to argue against such beliefs; those who truly believe in them wouldn't accept any contrary evidence no matter how compelling it might be.
From all of this, one can see what the Research Department is truly about. The organization's budget, aside from paying salaries, is almost entirely allocated to this department. The daily expenses are counted in the millions; it is indeed a money-burning department.
What is puzzling is precisely this point: the organization seems to invest all its funds into this area. What exactly are they trying to achieve? I cannot believe that the people within this organization are merely passionate medical enthusiasts, willing to bear all humiliation for the sake of humanity's progress. They must have some ulterior motive, and for that purpose, the organization is willing to throw everything into the fray.
Zhao Mingkun and others in the organization have repeatedly mentioned that time is running out, and the organization's leader's frenzied investment in medicine must be related to this. Could it be that the leader behind this organization is an elderly person on the brink of death, a global tycoon seeking longevity and a way to continue living?
It is quite possible that those in power often dedicate their later years to just one thing.
However, Geng Shaofei does not know who the leader of this organization is; he has only heard their voice through a curtain, altered by some form of voice modulation. The leader of this organization is very mysterious; only those who reach Level One—essentially a ministerial position—can meet this person.
From this perspective, Zhao Mingkun knows the leader, while He Pingli likely does not. Yet Zhao Mingkun, despite her youth, is cunning and shrewd. In my encounters with her, although I could gain an upper hand, I did not come away with much advantage. It seems that without capturing Zhao Mingkun, it will be difficult to directly touch the core of this organization.
Geng Shaofei does not know who the leader is but has provided information about several locations frequently visited by MAX—likely Our Country's Magic City, New York in America, Manchester in England, and so on. Geng Shaofei has previously visited several research sites with this world-renowned professor and learned quite a bit.
However, these locations are beyond the control of our Special Investigation Team; we can only rely on specific arrangements from the department. Nevertheless, the department takes this matter seriously and intends to capture MAX at all costs. There are too many implications involved, but with MAX's information in hand, mobilizing resources should not be a problem.
This concludes what we know about the organization; Geng Shaofei has only been part of it for a year but has already risen quickly within its ranks. The highest figure he has been able to access is MAX at Level One.
This is already a significant lead, and I am quite satisfied with it.
Next comes something different from organizational data; it resembles Geng Shaofei's personal diary. The few of us gathered together slowly read through it. It turns out that after I caused a scene at Geng Shaofei and Juan Juan's wedding over a year ago, Geng Shaofei became somewhat of a laughingstock among relatives.
In fact, Geng Shaofei's parents had always opposed this marriage because neither had genuinely dated before; how could they rush into marriage? Yet Geng Shaofei insisted on going against everyone's wishes. After things took a turn for the worse, he fell into despair for a long time. The most hopeless situation for a person is when there was once hope; that despair is far worse than never having hope at all.
Soon after, we received new orders after nearly a year away from Yuzhou City. At that time, someone from the organization approached Geng Shaofei. Feeling disheartened and as if he were living like a ghost, he eventually accepted an invitation from the Heavenly Domain Organization after several pleas and became a member of their ranks.
A few months later, due to Geng Shaofei's talent in the medical field, he quickly rose to the position of head of a larger division within the Research Department. From then on, he began to assign research directions to his subordinates, tackling problems that others could not solve. He initially planned to drift through life, living aimlessly without caring about the lives of others.
However, for reasons unknown—perhaps a pang of conscience or a weariness with such a life—Geng Shaofei no longer wanted to conduct research on living people. Even if he could not obtain Juan Juan, he did not want to become someone unworthy in Juan Juan's eyes. Thus, Geng Shaofei resolutely devised a plan to escape the organization, which led to the subsequent events.
Reading this, I cannot help but feel a complex mix of emotions. I did not kill Bo Ren, yet Bo Ren died because of me. If it weren't for my petty rivalry with Juan Juan back then, how could the unfortunate Geng Shaofei have gotten entangled in this matter? What could be more painful than watching the woman I love lean into someone else's embrace?
Geng Shaofei might have been a clever person or perhaps a coward; he may have done bad things or genuinely wished to be a good person. Yet Geng Shaofei is forever gone. Regardless of what he did or what his intentions were, everything has passed.
Before his death, he may have felt regret for his past wrongdoings, sorrow for those who were subjected to human experimentation, frustration for ultimately not obtaining Juan Juan, or perhaps he would forget it all and die quietly. But in the end, he expressed his final wish: he wanted Juan Juan to know that he hoped to be a good person.
He loved Juan Juan deeply—with a love that was humble, compassionate, and so lowly it seemed to sink into the dust. What can I say? Was it my fault, Juan Juan's fault, or Geng Shaofei's fault? There is nothing wrong with loving someone; equally, there is nothing wrong with not loving someone.
Often, it is not the bizarre murder cases that are strange but rather the emotions that we cannot comprehend.
In "Nine Calamities Rebirth True Immortal Dominates the Overlord," the young master of a cultivation family is coerced by the young lady into becoming her son-in-law. In the stillness of night, as they are alone together, the Busty Fairy suddenly reaches out and caresses the young man's back...
