The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Even Earth's backend had no record of this. Xue's Law understood that this wasn't a problem with Earth, but rather that the corpse was likely, perhaps, highly probable, a visitor from another world...

Just like the people of the Silver Kingdom, because they were visitors from another world, Earth has no records of them, only of their events on Earth.

There was nothing Xue could do about this, so he had no choice but to go and investigate himself.

Perhaps because this visitor from another world died immediately after arriving, Mom didn't pay attention to it and forgot about it, leaving the corpse of this other world to soak in the reservoir.

It wasn't until the unfortunate school janitor was conducting a routine inspection of the water tank that he was horrified to discover the floating body. He was so frightened that he even fainted briefly in the water room. It wasn't until another person in his team noticed that there was no sound coming from inside that they went in to check and called the police.

Xue's Law: "..."

A dead person from another world. I just hope that no strange otherworldly virus will appear, or that the corpse of someone from another world will cause any strange effects.

But the fact that my mother didn't remind me proves that this corpse shouldn't cause too much trouble.

What might not be a big problem for my mom could be an unimaginable source of amusement for USTC, or for Jiangcheng as a whole.

Xue Dinglu lamented that after being a model citizen for eighteen years, he might have to commit the first illegal act of his life: stealing a corpse!

……

In the Jiangcheng forensic identification room, a comprehensive and detailed autopsy was previously performed on the corpse.

"Is the structure of that corpse really different from that of a human? Could it be that it was contaminated by a large number of bacteria and algae due to being submerged in water for a long time?"

“I am absolutely right. Although this corpse looks the same as us, it is completely different in essence.”

"Take me to see it."

After the captain had a smoke outside and made preparations, they returned to the cold storage area of ​​the testing room.

However, the captain looked around and didn't find anything wrong.

Although it was severely lesioned and decayed, it still had all the necessary features. How was it any different from a human? It couldn't possibly be a genetic issue, could it? But they could only perform forensic-level genetic analysis here; they couldn't do more detailed genetic analysis.

"Is there a problem? The internal organs are all there, it's perfectly normal," the captain said.

To his surprise, the forensic doctor was stunned for a moment. He rushed to the front of the table and saw the normal internal organs inside. For a moment, his mind went blank.

No, am I hallucinating? How could this be? It wasn't like this before. This person doesn't have a heart; instead, a stone-like gallstone occupies the original heart's place, and all the other organs are different, as if they were all born around this gallstone.

Cell phones are not allowed here; they must be placed in a safe outside the door. So he immediately went upstairs to call the captain who hadn't slept all night.

Could it be that I was hallucinating because I didn't sleep all night?

He spent the whole night examining the body externally and confirming the body information. He had only recently started preparing for the autopsy. He was the only forensic doctor here. He had help with simple tasks, but when it came to things like autopsies, he had to do it all by himself, which is why he had been so busy until now.

Was it really a hallucination after staying up all night?

Upon seeing the perfectly normal-looking corpse, the forensic doctor scratched his head.

……

At this point, Xue Dinglu was already exhausted and out of breath.

Forensic doctors only need to perform autopsies, but this world guardian has many more things to consider. In just a short time, he found the location of the body and immediately tried to create an identical replica.

This requires asking Mom for authority to create a complete, one-to-one replica of the corpse from the other world, except that everything has been replaced with things that already exist on Earth. And the hardest part isn't replacing the corpse, but replacing the samples that he's already taken...

Mom had actually forgotten about it; she was only focused on the water group right now. Besides, this was something that Earth wouldn't even notice, like a speck of dust on the body.

The corpse from another world was long dead, bringing no magical artifacts with it, and its body was badly damaged...

The assessment concluded that it had little impact, so we ignored it.

Xue Dinglu remained cautious. Although the corpse had no impact on the world, it could have many strange consequences for his small town and even his country.

Therefore, he chose the most cautious approach, not only stealing the corpse but also completely replacing it with an identical fake to minimize the impact.

As for the fact that this corpse appeared out of nowhere in the washroom... Xue Dinglu can't even think about it anymore. It will probably become an urban campus ghost story like Elisa Lam's.

This might be even more bizarre, since it's a corpse from another world that appeared out of nowhere, and the corpse has no identity or information whatsoever, which might cause a frenzy among paranormal enthusiasts.

As for whether the principal's reputation will suffer as a result of this undeserved misfortune...

Xue Dinglu could only say that there was nothing that could be done, and the principal would have to suffer. As long as it was kept well, this matter should not have appeared on the Internet. The school could even release a lot of false information to suppress the matter, since this matter really had nothing to do with the school itself.

At most, it's just that the unlucky kids these past few days drank some water laced with something from another world...

I just hope everyone drinks boiled water, instead of drinking it directly...

Okay, Xue should check if there are any problems.

For the past few days, students have been confined to their dormitories due to the lack of water. They have to buy their own water or fetch water from the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the school has taken this into consideration, and the water pumping station at the foot of the mountain is pumping water as hard as it can for students slightly upstream, but it is still in short supply. They have to fetch water in buckets and store it in their dormitories until the water supply is restored.

Xue Luding checked it over roughly and found nothing seriously wrong. At most, some people with weaker constitutions might have diarrhea, so he was relieved and finally settled down to think about what the situation was with the corpse.

This is a female corpse, but it looks extremely ugly at this moment, appearing gigantic, with the whole person looking like a swollen balloon.

Xue Lude frowned as he touched the corpse, lamenting that there were so few forensic doctors. The forensic medicine program at the University of Science and Technology of China was always short of students, and even in a big city like Jiangcheng, there were fewer than five resident forensic doctors, who were scattered across different districts.

This thing is truly inhuman.

Although the woman's clothes were tattered and had been soaking in water for a long time, the presence of obvious chemical fibers on them proved that this should be an alternate world from the industrial age.

But there wasn't much other information. She seemed to be wearing only underwear, which had many scars on it, and there was no other information.

This made Xue Dinglu scratch his head even more. Did he really want to switch fields and continue his work in forensic autopsy?

His background in disaster medicine is completely unrelated to forensic medicine; the medical knowledge he's acquired primarily focuses on first aid and clinical practice...

Chapter 414 New Passenger, Female Ghost? Undead?

"Brother, is being a forensic doctor really that tiring?" Su Su asked Xue Dinglu with a puzzled look. She had just finished watching an idol drama about forensic doctors, and the main characters in it were very glamorous.

Xue's Law: "..."

Forensic medicine... well, even a dog wouldn't study it. There's a saying that goes, "If you advise someone to study medicine, you'll be struck by lightning; if you advise someone to study law, you'll be torn to pieces; if you advise someone to study forensic medicine, Satan will tattoo you on the back."

When he stole the body before, that forensic doctor guy stayed up all night on Red Bull, writing reports on the intranet and recording the characteristics of the body. He did this all night until dawn, and the body was stolen by Xue Lude just as he was about to perform the autopsy...

I bet he's still awake, sitting in front of the computer wondering if he's gone crazy from staying up all night and misdiagnosed a diseased heart.

Su Su pointed blankly at herself and asked, "So this is why you called me here to be a forensic doctor?"

Xue Dinglu took a deep breath and said, "Su Su, you know I need you right now."

She froze for a moment, then stammered, "Okay, since you need my help..."

So Xue's Law began to dissect the matter. He actually just wanted to get an assistant for free, or perhaps he was thinking that he couldn't let me be the only one suffering, so he was going to randomly trick a lucky audience member.

Perhaps both are true, and Xue Dinglu began to process the corpse.

“Start dealing with the heart… it should be the core in the left chest area,” Xue Dinglu said directly.

“Okay, okay…” Su Su immediately picked up a knife and began to cut open the blood vessels and connecting organs at the core.

In an instant, a foul-smelling liquid flowed out, whether it was putrid blood or diseased fluid, causing Xue's law to retreat a great distance.

Su Su is a spirit, so the stench of the material doesn't affect her, but it's different for me.

Su Su: "..."

Setting the core aside, she hurriedly began cleaning up the newly gushing fluid.

“The core is fine, and there’s nothing strange about it. Although its structure is very different from ours, the underlying logic is the same,” Su Su explained, holding the core.

"Okay, let's begin dissecting the respiratory system and other organs," Xue Dinglu then instructed.

Susu was, after all, a witch who had seen all sorts of evil spirits and corpses. In her world, a witch was actually a kind of corpse collector.

She actually runs her small shrine by handling commissions and performing funeral rites for people.

Despite the somewhat chaotic process, the organ separation was successfully completed. The organs were removed one by one and placed aside. A large amount of viscous and disgusting fluid had accumulated in the red bucket.

"Alright, it's basically finished." Xue Dinglu even chose to use the blood of the curse to create a biomass mask for himself before coming to check on the situation.

"The internal organs are undamaged, and there are no external injuries. Although the inside is filled with a large amount of water, there are no signs of water aspiration in the respiratory system, and it's similar to other organs..." Xue Dinglu analyzed.

"The assessment is that this person was already dead before being transported to Earth. It is highly likely that the attack was a soul attack, or a direct attack on the brain, which caused the death..."

Although Xue's Law is now presented in a very abstract way, he is indeed seriously analyzing the cause of this person's death.

Even analyzing why this thing was able to fall to Earth, Xue's Law doesn't know whether the person behind the door was randomly teleported there or knew Earth's coordinates. If it's the latter, then that would be troublesome.

That proves that at least Earth's coordinates might be exposed in the universe. However, given that Xue's Law doesn't know what's on the other side, it's uncertain whether the apostles will be able to find these exposed coordinates.

Although the probability of this happening is extremely small, he doesn't want to see it occur.

"Brother, there seems to be something in here." Su Su suddenly took out a severely decayed organ, then rummaged through it amidst the stench, and found something that looked like a stone slab. Activating it with magic, she discovered a long passage of text on it.

"We succeeded. We successfully found a way to escape this cage."

There were no other objects besides this, and the runes on the small stone contained only this much information, which was barely revealed after the system panel left by the Great Sage started smoking.

The scene fell silent. Xue Luding rubbed her temples, as if the corpse had no value whatsoever. It was probably the Earth coordinates she had found by accident, but it had already died before she could send them out... but she didn't know how the corpse ended up on Earth.

Or perhaps the corpse wasn't teleported here directly, but was retrieved by Mom from the subspace, but she forgot to deal with it after retrieving it, causing it to accidentally appear on Earth.

In short, although it's very abstract, it's quite normal when applied to my mom's habit of scooping up strange and unusual things from the subspace.

"Alright, we've completed our mission this time. I'll treat you to a meal next time." Xue Dinglu still had Su Su put all her organs back in and then bury them in the consciousness space.

Although he didn't know what the rituals for the dead were like in their hometown, Xue could only do this much, as a form of compensation for dissecting her body.

The two of them spent the whole morning working on dissections and analyses, and then, like morticians, they had to restore it. Xue Dinglu dug a hole in the soil of his consciousness space and buried it.

Finally, he made a simple wooden inscription that read "Tomb of an Unknown Person in Another World".

That's all the information we can get from the body. We can't even find the coordinates. The body is completely decomposed. We can't even find the coordinates of her hometown. Maybe that's a good thing.

If he couldn't deduce the coordinates of the other side from this corpse, then the other side probably couldn't deduce the coordinates of Earth.

Xue Lu thought to himself as he prepared to leave.

After Xue Law left the subspace, Su Su returned to her dormitory.

It seems I've forgotten something, but it shouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, things have come to this, let's eat first.

At this moment, in the space of consciousness, the corpse that was originally dead and whose entire body had decomposed beyond recognition due to soaking, and which would have been dead beyond any other living being, suddenly opened its eyes, and a ghostly blue flame emerged from its pupils.

"Snapped!"

The tree roots suddenly wrapped around her corpse, completely absorbing the blue flames that had suddenly appeared on it. The entire corpse was completely enveloped by the tree roots, which absorbed all the power that had suddenly transformed into her. In the end, even her ashes were completely devoured by the divine tree.
