Chapter 489: Meredith's Identity

Looking at the words on the bronze medal, Todd took two steps back in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "This is her birthplace......"

Meredith flicked her wings, blowing away the dry cloth and dust that had covered the cultivation tank, revealing its contents.

Corpse after corpse floated in the vessel, some looking like humans, others looking like flesh balls at all.

"This is the early laboratory of Eliade, one of the Three Elders. Meredith walked to a sink, looked at the corpse of a two-year-old baby girl inside, and said in a deep voice: "Although the technology of human body replication has been around for a long time, many of the books that introduce its principles have been lost, and the rest are scattered in the underground palace of the Presbyterian Church. ”

"Decades ago, Eleanor, one of the Three Elders, found a book from a xenomorph scholar on human replication, and showed it to Eliad. In exchange, she offered to give Eliade the notebook if she was able to complete the book's ritual of replicating the human body. ”

"The Xenomorph Alliance Association was stuck in the key link of the resurrection leader at that time, and some of the content in this book explained and made up for many doubts in the resurrection ritual, so it was undoubtedly a relief for the association at that time, and Eliad naturally accepted the deal. ”

Todd grasped a key point in the matter and asked, "What does Eleanor get in this deal?"

Meredith tapped the surface of the crystal culture tank with her crow feather and said softly, "What Eleanor wants...... That's it. ”

Todd was stunned: "She wants Richell?"

"As one of the three elders, Eleanor, both in strength and power, is already at the peak of the previous elders. There was only one thing she cared about, and that was eternal life. ”

How to escape the scythe of death and stop the ravages of time has become her top priority. The ritual of human reproduction gave her an inspiration. If you can use a small part of your body to make a copy of yourself that is exactly the same, then when your body is aging, you can remove the organs of the replica and replace it, and you can even use the resurrection ritual to replace your body to achieve the goal of immortality. ”

Todd's lips turned white, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably: "So, Reichel is actually a copy of Eleanor, and after she is born, she may be harvested at any time, or even lose her body?!"

"Eliad, who wanted to resurrect the xenomorph leader, naturally didn't want to see this happen, so after creating a copy of Eleanor, that is, Rachel, he injected the toxin into it, causing Rachel to have a severe rejection reaction at that time, and it became a failed product. ”

Eleanor abandons the human replica and asks Eliad to erase the "failed" replica of Rachel. However, the latter did not do so, and only lied that he needed to continue to observe the state of the clone, and maybe he could find a solution to the problem. And so, Richer survived. ”

Todd covered his forehead with his hands and said bitterly, "After that, Rachel's only friend, Mia Evanderlin, chose to commit suicide in order to escape Eleanor's persecution. As punishment, Eleanor puts Reicelle's soul into Mia's corpse, leaving her to live in pain and guilt forever...... What she went through was like living in hell every day. ”

Sitting on the stone steps, Todd looked at the room full of experimental equipment and crystal vessels, and sighed deeply: "Didn't you ever think of getting rid of Eleanor?"

"Get rid of her?"

Meredith turned her head and looked at Todd amusedly, "Do you think it's easy to defeat her?"

Todd was a little surprised: "Even you, can't defeat her?"

"I was able to escape from her unharmed, but if I really had to fight, it was really hard to say. Besides, even if Eleanor is eliminated, there will still be a second or third Eleanor in the Presbyterian Church, and careerists and corrupt people have never been uncommon. ”

Todd asked curiously, "Eleanor is also a tyrant?"

"No, but her special abilities make her more difficult than a tyrant. ”

"What kind of ability?"

"Before I explain Eleanor's abilities, let me ask you, do you know the difference between hereditary and non-hereditary abilities?"

Todd nodded: "I've heard that non-hereditary abilities can be transmitted through water, food, etc., while hereditary abilities can only be passed from parents to children. ”

"Correct. Moreover, hereditary abilities are generally more persistent and destructive than non-hereditary abilities...... Such as dimensional cutting, psychic shock, gravity blasting, etc., ......"

Meredith covered her lower abdomen with one hand and said slowly, "And Eleanor is called the 'Mother Goddess' precisely because her ability comes from a special organ in her body, the uterus. She can use her crossings with powerful xenomorphs to replicate and gain their hereditary abilities. ”

Looking at the dumbfounded Todd, Meredith shook his head and said: "Think about it, how many xenos with hereditary abilities are in the legionnaire project led by this mother god, and after being seized by her, they have become fertility machines......"

Todd's face was full of incredulity: "You mean, this mother goddess can copy and use those inherited abilities, so how many abilities does she have now?"

"No one knows, that's why I said that this guy's existence is more troublesome than those tyrants. ”

Meredith patted the dust off her body: "Now that the things that need to be explained have been explained, do you still want to see Richer now?"

Todd stood up, let out a long breath, and said to Meredith, "Everything you just told me only strengthened my resolve to see her. ”

Meredith clapped her hands with a smile and walked out the door as she said, "I know you'll give such an answer, but it's really a relief to actually hear it." ”

Todd, who followed the woman back into the underground corridor, asked, "So, where is Richel?"

"She's in trouble, and she's in prison now......" Meredith saw Todd's anxious appearance and smiled and said, "But don't worry too much, that kid is a smart man, and knows exactly what to say to save his life at such a time." ”

As she walked down the road, Meredith said, "But before we can save her, we must first meet someone. ”

An hour later, Todd, dressed in a black robe and covering his face with a hood, stood in a huge room.

Dozens of rows of bookshelves fill the place, and all kinds of experimental equipment are everywhere.

Meredith, wearing a crow mask, looked at an old man with a beard mopping the floor, and seemed to smile.

The latter, on the other hand, focused on Todd.

"Who is he?" the old man asked Meredith, "He has the same aura of the Shadow Nation as you do. ”

Meredith glanced back at Todd, "He's a friend of mine and an ally of the alien race. In a word...... Eliade, he is a man who can be trusted. ”

The old man, known as Eliad, retracted his gaze, looked at Meredith and whispered, "As the Grand Master of the Discord Legion, you haven't been back for years...... Forgive me, old man, for talking too much, have you already given up on your father?"

Meredith put away her smile, and her eyes slowly turned cold: "Eliade, you are asking just right, I came back this time to talk to you about my father, Sutherland. ”
