I am immortal with scientific thinking

The place where supernatural objects are stored is deep underground in the branch.

This is a converted underground base that uses the most advanced defense structure and technology. Even if a nuclear explosion occurs on the ground, it will not penetrate this place and leak out the dangerous items stored here.

This underground base was transformed into a corridor with only one intersection leading directly downward. The narrow and deep passage was depressing and dull, with faint lights flickering on the thick concrete walls.

This faint light did not illuminate the road ahead, but made the surrounding environment even darker, giving people a creepy feeling.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of their two footsteps echoing around, one in front, one behind, pausing from time to time.

Moreover, the air here seems a bit turbid, making it difficult to breathe. If an ordinary person stays here for a long time, he will definitely suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.

"The defense here doesn't seem to be very tight?"

Lin Chen followed behind Fang Zhengyang and took a look at the dark passage. There was no guard at all, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"That's because I shut down the hidden laser launchers, explosive devices, and room self-destruction systems before I came in. Otherwise, any illegal intruder who comes here will face death as the only outcome," Fang Zhengyang explained.

While they were talking, they quickly walked into the underground base, and small rooms appeared next to the passage in front of Lin Chen.

Each room is numbered 001, 002, and so on, extending all the way to the bend of the distant passage.

"This is it. This is where the branch stores supernatural items. This is the first room. You can come and take a look. You can ask me for specific information." Fang Zhengyang stopped at the door of the first small room.

Lin Chen also stopped and carefully observed the situation in the room.

The door of the room was specially made, thick and strong. There was a small window above the door, just like a prison cell. Through a piece of light yellow glass in the window, you can see what's going on inside.

The room was a small single room, with an area estimated to be only about ten square meters. There was a very ordinary table in the middle, and something was placed in a light golden translucent box.

"Is this box made of...gold?"

Lin Chen took a look and recognized its material, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"That's right. Many supernatural things will affect many substances in reality. Only gold is relatively stable and can be used as a sealed instrument." At this point, Fang Zhengyang suddenly paused, and then said in a strange tone, "But the sealed gold cannot be too pure. It must contain at least 50% impurities, otherwise it will resonate with these supernatural things. This phenomenon is very strange, and the instructors haven't figured out why this is the case..."

"Ordinary gold is fine, but refined gold is not okay?" Lin Chen's expression changed. It was unknown what he was thinking. After a moment of silence, he said, "In that case, give me a file and I'll see what I need. I can go get it directly."

"Nothing here is recorded in the archives. We can only rely on human memory." Fang Zhengyang looked at these rooms and said, "Before entering, my instructor asked me to share my memories here, so I knew the information here."

"Hmm?" Lin Chen was a little confused, "Why is there no file, but it is transmitted through memory?"

"Because files are something that anyone with a keen eye can read. To be frank, with all kinds of supernatural phenomena happening so frequently and new technologies breaking through today, if you have any top-secret information recorded in a file, someone with a keen eye might be able to get a copy the next day. And if someone among them has some thoughts that they shouldn't have and wants to get their hands on it, it will eventually cause an uncontrollable situation and bring us unprecedented casualties."

Fang Zhengyang said solemnly,

"So whether it's a branch or a headquarters, any place where these supernatural objects and top black technologies are stored is managed by the academicians of civilization and a few top people in the Human Civilization Federation. Others can only know part of the situation at most, but cannot understand the whole picture. After all, we are not only defending against monsters, but also against people."

"If that's the case, how did you know?" Lin Chen noticed this very keenly and glanced at Fang Zhengyang.

"Memory Reorganizer." Fang Zhengyang pointed to his head and said, "We imitated this supernatural sci-fi weapon in Western Europe and developed a copycat version of the Memory Reorganizer. Every time we enter such a place, we will communicate with the academician in advance to obtain memory authorization."

"Any information about this place has been processed and can only be used once. Except for the things we take out, any information about supernatural things here will disappear from our minds after we leave. This can ensure that the news of this place will not be leaked to the greatest extent..."

"It seems that the civilized academicians are not only proficient in academics, but also understand human nature..." Lin Chen sighed and said, "Well, now that there are no senior executives in the branch, we can take whatever we want from here. Let's see if we can find anything useful and take it all away!"

"Ahem! Junior brother, you can just say it here, don't let it spread out!" Fang Zhengyang coughed a few times.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid..."

Lin Chen smiled, then walked to the gate, placed his hand on the cold steel door, and looked inside through the pale yellow glass.

Then he saw that inside the box in the small room, there was a... pickled salted fish?

"What the hell is this?!" Lin Chen looked at it and his expression became a little strange. He said, "Could it be that someone replaced the items inside and put a salted fish in to fool us?"

"Of course not. This is a very unique supernatural object. It has been used a certain number of times in the branch."

"Its corresponding number is D-00192, named [Lying Salted Fish]."

"Lying down, salted fish?" When Lin Chen heard this code name, his expression became a little strange. "Then this thing shouldn't be considered a dangerous thing, right?"

"This lying flat is not what you understand as having a fortune and eating, drinking and having fun in bed. It is more like a ruling of a rule. Once exposed to it, the person will lose all desire and emotion, and will only think about lying all day long. Even basic physiological needs will disappear, and they will starve to death in bed." Fang Zhengyang explained, "But as long as this thing is taken away from the other party, it will return to its original state, and the lying flat effect will naturally disappear." After hearing this, Lin Chen's eyes moved and said, "The effect is so powerful, and the side effects are so small. If such an important thing is not taken out to deal with incidents or assist in research, but is left here like this, there must be some terrible consequences, right?"

"Yes, when we first used this thing, we also thought that its effect was huge and the consequences were small, so we used it routinely, but no one expected..." Fang Zhengyang said this and sighed softly, "As the number of uses increased, it was not just the person holding the salted fish who lay flat, but also the people nearby, and even the creatures in this area, who began to involuntarily tend to lie down."

"And this is not just a matter of laziness at work. Lying down affects not only people's psychology, but also their bodies..."

"Body?" Lin Chen frowned and asked, "You mean, their bodies and organs have become inert, just like humans?"

Fang Zhengyang nodded and said solemnly:
"That's right. It's not just the body organs. Even the machines that are dead objects have begun to stagnate. Any living being that enters that area will involuntarily become inert... We have tried every means to investigate, but we can't find the cause."

"We can only roughly guess that this is the power of the rules that are close to the legend. At that time, this incident attracted the attention of a physics academician. He tried to explore the rules themselves from the particle aspect, so he used a special method to indirectly observe the constantly blocked microscopic world, but unexpectedly found that the movement of these particles in this area began to become inert and slowly stagnated. The academician guessed that this method and phenomenon are very likely to be like..."

Fang Zhengyang paused for a moment, but Lin Chen had already guessed what he was going to say:
“At the end of the universe, particles will no longer move, and everything will end in heat death.”

"Yes, so since then, this item has been sealed. Unless it is taken out and used a few times under special circumstances, it is generally not opened." Fang Zhengyang nodded.

"Just control the number of times it is used. The most important thing is to prevent it from being lost and reused many times." Lin Chen thought for a while, "And if you want to use it, whether it is to deal with monsters that cannot be handled, or to use the inertia of this thing to fight against some kind of mental pollution at a critical moment... maybe it can be used as a trump card to save your life."

"Yes, it is placed in the first room precisely because of this consideration..."

During the conversation, they soon walked into the second room.

Lin Chen saw what was inside through the small glass window.

Is that a ball of...soil sealed in a golden box?

"What is this?" Lin Chen knocked on the glass on the door and asked.

"This is clay." Fang Zhengyang said.

"Of course I know that. I'm asking what's the point." Lin Chen was speechless. "Can you finish your words at once?"

"Its corresponding number is D-00388, named [Blood and Flesh Clay]." Fang Zhengyang scratched his head when he said this. "As for this thing, we have studied it for a long time and feel that it is very useful, but it feels like it is missing some key factor."

"What do you mean?" Lin Chen became interested.

"After research, we found that these clays can combine with human flesh and blood to create tissues, organs, and even the human body. Just like Nuwa created humans in ancient mythology, a person can be created out of thin air. Moreover, the created person seems to have an inexplicable connection with the original owner, just like quantum entanglement..." Fang Zhengyang said.

"Scholars at the time were very interested in this, and even many professors wanted to conduct research on it and create supernatural sci-fi weapons similar to the substitute puppets in mythology." Fang Zhengyang said, "But a large number of scholars have spent nearly ten years researching and still have not come up with any results. Because this flesh and blood clay seems to lack some key factors and can never become a person, or a complete, living body, so this thing has been shelved..."

"Is there a lack of some key factor that makes it impossible to use this supernatural object?" Lin Chen raised his eyebrows, "So it is sealed here?"

"That's right. Before we find a way to fully utilize it, we can only seal it up artificially." Fang Zhengyang nodded. "Fortunately, after a long period of research, no harm has been found. As long as we don't come into contact with it for a long time, it will be fine."

"Is that so..." After hearing this, Lin Chen's expression changed, but he didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

In the next room after room, he saw all kinds of strange and supernatural things.

A pale female corpse as if frozen to death, a bloody Western wedding dress, a strange insect the size of a basketball... Each of these things looked weird and inharmonious, giving people the feeling that they shouldn't be able to appear in this world.

It has to be said that human civilization has been able to remain strong after experiencing so many disasters, and its foundation is indeed profound.

It’s a pity that most supernatural things cannot be transformed into usable technologies, otherwise we wouldn’t be so helpless when facing those disasters.

After an unknown amount of time, the entire road came to an end. In front of it was a huge sealed door, which was even embedded in the wall and welded shut, as if it did not intend to give anyone the opportunity to enter.

"Most of them are corpses of monsters. Even if they have been dead for a long time or are in a half-dead state, they are full of all kinds of weirdness and danger. According to regulations, these are strictly sealed. When they can be taken out, it means that Tianhai City, a civilized city, has encountered an unsolvable disaster and has to use all means to survive..." Fang Zhengyang said, and finally took a fancy to the last room in this corridor, "And this is also the last thing among these supernatural things that can make use of space."

"This is..." Lin Chen's eyes moved, and he looked into the room through the glass window, "An eye?"

Inside the box in the room, there was a shriveled head, and on the head, there was only a huge eye socket left, which seemed to have an eye in it.

The reason why I said "seemed" was because the eye socket was covered by a golden eye mask, and Lin Chen could not see the scene inside clearly.

"What's the use of this thing?" Lin Chen asked without turning his head.

"After our research, we found that this eyeball seems to be able to artificially open up a...different space." (End of this chapter)
