Chapter 702 - 409: Female Corpse from the Otherworld (Part 2)
Yesterday, the corpse remained in the water house all day...
The day before yesterday, the corpse was also in the water house all day...
Until the day before that, Xue Dili discovered something abnormal.
There was a very strange record here, showing that some ??? appeared in the water house, and then nothing more.
Even Earth’s background doesn’t know the details of this thing.
It’s like it suddenly appeared in the water house and then vanished...
Xue Dili: "..."
Sure enough, it truly is a supernatural event. Following this record, he found another record, the teleportation gate record.
This corpse came through the teleportation gate to the water house and then drowned here?
Or was it just a corpse that came over?
Even Earth’s background has no record of this. In such a situation, Xue Dili understood that this was not Earth’s issue, but that the corpse was probably, or most likely, an extradimensional visitor...
Just like the people from Silver Country, because they are extradimensional visitors, Earth has no record, only recording events occurring on Earth.
For Xue Dili, there’s nothing he can do. He can only investigate this personally.
Perhaps because this extradimensional visitor died immediately after arriving, his mom didn’t notice it and forgot about it, leaving the extradimensional person’s corpse soaking in the water tank.
It wasn’t until that unlucky school worker conducted a routine check on the water tank that the floating corpse was horrifyingly discovered, frightening him so much that he fainted briefly in the water house, until another team member noticed the silence from outside, came in to check, and reported it.
Xue Dili: "..."
An extradimensional corpse, hoping it doesn’t bring about any strange extradimensional viruses, or weird influences due to the extradimensional person’s body.
But if mom didn’t remind herself, it proves that this corpse shouldn’t cause much trouble.
But what doesn’t count as much trouble for mom might be unimaginable fun for Ke University or even Jiang City.
Xue Dili lamented that today, as an eighteen-year five-star good citizen, he might need to commit his first illegal act in his life.
...
In the Jiang City Forensic Lab, a comprehensive and detailed dissection was performed earlier on that corpse.
"Is the structure of that body really different from humans? Could it be that extended time in water spawned a huge amount of bacteria and algae causing contamination?"
"I must be right; although this body looks like ours on the outside, it is fundamentally different."
"Take me to see it."
And then the captain, after smoking a cigarette and getting ready, returned to the laboratory’s cold storage area.
However, the team leader took a look and didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary?
Although it’s been decayed and rotten, everything that should be there is there. What’s the difference from humans? It couldn’t possibly be a genetic problem, right? But here, they can only do investigative-level genetic analysis, not finer ones.
"Is there a problem? The organs are all there and normal, aren’t they?" the captain said.
Unexpectedly, this forensic expert was stunned for a moment, immediately rushing to the front, seeing the normal organs inside, his head instantly spinning.
No, am I seeing things? How could it be, it wasn’t like this before; this person didn’t have a heart, but a stone-like calculus occupied where the heart should be, and all other organs were different, seemingly born around this calculus.
In this area, carrying phones is not allowed, they must be kept in the storage bag outside, so he immediately went up and called the team leader who hadn’t slept all night.
Could it be, it was really a hallucination from staying up all night?
He had been working on the external examination of the body all night, plus confirming body information, ready to perform the dissection a moment ago when he was the only forensic expert on-site; with simple tasks, there were people to help, but when it came to dissection, he had to do it alone, busying him until now.
It seems staying up all night really caused a hallucination?
Seeing this very normal body now, the forensic expert scratched his head?
...
And at this moment, Xue Dili was already exhausted and panting.
The forensic only needs to dissect, but as a World Guardian, there is much more to consider. Just a moment ago, he found the location of the body and immediately thought of a way to craft an identical body.
This also required asking his mom for power, completely replicating the extradimensional body one-to-one, but with all the components replaced with materials available on Earth. The hardest part wasn’t replacing the body, but replacing the samples he had already taken...
His mom had actually forgotten about this thing, now fully absorbed in her water group, and for Earth, this matter belonged to aspects that wouldn’t even be taken note of, like a speck of dust appearing on a body.
The extradimensional body had long since died, brought over no magical items, meanwhile this person’s body was destroyed beyond recognition...
Deemed to have no impact, directly unattended.
And yet Xue Dili remained cautious, although this body doesn’t impact the world, it might cause many weird consequences for the small city he dwells in, or even his country...
Thus, he chose the most cautious approach, not only stealing the body out but also completely replacing it with an identical fake copy, minimizing the impact this way.
As for this corpse’s sudden appearance in the water house... Xue Dili was at a loss, guessing it might become a campus horror story like Lan Ke’Er.
In fact, it might be even more bizarre, for this is an extradimensional corpse, appearing out of thin air, with no identity or information, likely causing enthusiasts of supernatural phenomena to revel with excitement.
As for whether the principal might suffer a blow to their reputation due to this unwarranted disaster...
Xue Dili can only say, there’s no helping it, the principal may have to endure a bit, and if concealed well, this might never appear online, the school might even release many false reports to suppress the situation, as it indeed has nothing to do with the school itself.
At most, a few unlucky children had some extradimensional-tinged water to drink these days...
Just hoping they drink boiled water, instead of directly...
Alright, Xue Dili still plans to check if there are any problems.
These days, students can only huddle in dorms, with water supply being cut off, having to either buy water themselves or fetch it from the mountain below, though the school has considered this aspect, trying hard to pump water to slightly upstream students, yet still in shortage, forcing to fetch with buckets, saving in the dorm until water returns.
Xue Dili checked around roughly, seeing no major issues. At most, only those with weaker constitutions might experience some stomach troubles, resting his mind and pondering once more what the actual situation with the body might be.
The body belonged to a woman, but now it appeared extremely unsightly, presenting a giant’s appearance, and the person seemed like a bloated balloon of ugliness.
When Xue Dili touched the body, he frowned deeply, realizing why there are so few forensic experts; the forensic program at Ke University annually struggles to enroll students, and even in a large city like Jiang City, there’re less than five resident forensics across different districts.
This really isn’t a job for just anyone.
Clothing was already in tatters and soaked for a long time, yet obvious chemical fibers can be found on it, proving it should be from an industrial era planet.
But beyond this, little information exists, she seemed to wear only one underwear-like item, bearing many scars and no other clues.
This further made Xue Dili scratch his head, pondering whether he should cross-discipline himself and continue the work of a forensic expert?
His study in disaster medicine hardly relates to forensic pathology, wherein most of his medical knowledge leans toward emergency care and clinical studies...
