Chapter 27 Uncle, Are You an Immortal?
Deep Blue describes the abilities of the [Tree of Life] while tutoring the performance of skills.
And Tang Yifeng was already completely dizzy in this lengthy explanation.
In short, after performing the skill, all matter or living things, in front of the [Tree of Life], are nothing more than individuals composed of multiple atoms gathered under the action of the four basic forces. (Four fundamental forces: electromagnetic, strong interaction, weak interaction, gravitational.) οΌ
And the [Tree of Life] happens to have the ability to control the four basic forces in the body of an organism, so as to dismantle, combine, or change the characteristics of such individuals again, just like a child building blocks.
With this explanation, Deep Blue tried to inform Tang Yifeng in concise and easy-to-understand words, but it was just ......
What is the role of the four fundamental forces? Why does it involve the combination and separation of atoms?
Please, I studied engineering design, in the field of quantum physics, obviously beyond the program!
"Well, just stupid you forget it. Deep Blue muttered dissatisfiedly and continued, "Now relax your body, and I'll show you how to use the skill." β
As soon as the words fell, Tang Yifeng's palm suddenly felt numb.
There is a feeling like being touched by a low-voltage current, but soon, it disappears, and then ......
"me! What are these?!"
Tang Yifeng exclaimed incredibly, it turned out that the picture he saw in front of him at this moment had changed again.
If at the beginning, it was as if he was observing the world with a thermal imager, now he has added an electron microscope in front of his eyes.
Countless unidentified objects sped by in front of them, some like stars in the night sky, not bright, but shining.
And more of it was dim and gray, just like that desperate feeling, which made Tang Yifeng uncomfortable.
"Under the Tree of Life skill, there is no need to be surprised that the normal cells and abnormal cells that are divided are just normal cells. β
Deep Blue explained, at the same time, Tang Yifeng's body changed again.
With itself as the source point, it suddenly grew something like a rope, and then continued to extend in all directions.
When touching the shiny cell body, the rope only touches it once, and then quickly leaves.
And when it came into contact with the gray mutant cells, the rope did not hesitate at all, but for a moment, it was tightly entangled.
In the blink of an eye, countless mutant cells were captured by the rope, but not long after, they suddenly stopped moving.
At the same time, Deep Blue's words sounded again.
"Stupid host, I've already demonstrated to you the use of skills, and the time limit for auxiliary programs is almost up, so what you have to do next is to capture all the remaining deviant cells. β
Listening to Deep Blue's words, Tang Yifeng swallowed and foamed, "Can I really do it?"
"It's not whether you can or not, it's whether you want to. Deep Blue said in a firm tone: "Host, you have to understand that this is not an assessment, but something you do voluntarily. Saving a little girl whose life is about to go into decay, or rather, becoming a ...... Hero, what a strange idea. But whatever it is, that's what you want to do, isn't it?"
"If you want to give up, or if the mission fails. It doesn't matter, the system will deduct your physique as negative, but as long as I'm still around, even if you become a single-celled creature, we can regroup. So, take your pick, my host. Follow your heart's desires, and then, choose. β
Tang Yifeng didn't respond, and after a long while, he let out a long sigh.
Hero? That's a good name.
It's just that such a heavy title I can't afford it.
It's not so much that I want to be a hero, but I want to help the poor little guy in front of me get out of the pain.
So...... Is there a need for a choice?
Smiling slightly, Tang Yifeng made a decision in his heart, "I understand, thank you Shenlan, leave it to me next." β
'Instructions are received, and control is returned to the host. β
'The [Tree of Life] Phase 2 program activity time, 25 minutes remaining. β
After a beep, the rope that had been stagnant moved again.
The action at the beginning was a little stiff, and the ropes collided with normal cells several times, and Tang Yifeng also learned for the first time that it was so difficult to control them.
It's like writing with my left hand, which I'm not good at for the first time, and no matter how hard I try, the results I get are not satisfactory.
But Tang Yifeng did not give up, calmed down, and constantly familiarized himself with the control method in one attempt after another.
'[Tree of Life] Phase 2 program activity time, 15 minutes remaining. β
Until the prompt sound sounded again, Tang Yifeng could barely control the trajectory of the rope.
'[Tree of Life] Phase 2 Program Activity Time, 10 minutes remaining. β
At this time, Tang Yifeng basically mastered how to extend the rope and capture the abnormal cells
"Oh, that's a good learning ability. Deep Blue let out a heartfelt sigh, and his opinion of Tang Yifeng has changed somewhat.
Just as he was about to say two words of encouragement, suddenly, a restless sound sounded, making Deep Blue smack his tongue impatiently.
"The stupid host is in a pinch, and must not be disturbed. β
β¦β¦
Outside the ICU ward, thanks to the efforts of the security guards, the door finally showed signs of being knocked open.
"Mr. Xia, please rest assured, if the prisoner can't escape, we will definitely give you an explanation. β
Three police officers were also standing outside the gate, giving reassurance to a middle-aged man.
It's just that the man didn't look at them, just stared at Xia Mingxi, who was curled up and sitting on a bench next to him, his eyes were full of anger.
"Xia Mingxi, as a high-achieving student who came back from studying abroad, how can you do this...... Stupid things to come?"
Xia Mingxi's body trembled slightly, raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man fearfully, and only after a long time did he hesitate to say: "Dad, Tang Yifeng is really capable, and he helped me treat my illness some time ago." β
"Healing? Are you feeling unwell? Why haven't you mentioned it to me and your mother?" The middle-aged man, that is, Xia Mingxi's father, Xia Zhenhai. Hearing this, his face was stunned at first, and he just wanted to ask a few words of concern, but when he thought of what was going on now, he left and sank his face.
"What are you kidding, if he really has a special skill, he will still be a little-known clerk in the company? You, are you stupid in school?" Xia Zhenhai was angry at his daughter's too naΓ―ve behavior.
"The door is open!"
Just as he was about to reprimand his daughter, the security guards finally broke open the door, and a large group of people immediately rushed into the house.
Xia Zhenhai ran in for the first time, and then, looking at the strange man standing next to his little daughter in front of him, he said angrily: "You are Tang Yifeng, very good! Let's settle this matter slowly, and now leave my daughter's side quickly!"
The security guards and policemen also surrounded Xia Zhenhai when he was talking, and just as they were about to arrest Tang Yifeng, they suddenly saw that the other party slowly turned around.
Tang Yifeng looked at the people who broke into the house, and in his dark pupils, a blue electric current flashed that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and then said softly: "Go out." β
In an instant, everyone seemed to be choked by a pair of steel tongs, and it was even difficult to breathe.
And although the words were soft, they were like deafening thunder.
At this moment, everyone's bodies trembled uncontrollably, and the nearest security guards and policemen subconsciously took a step back.
"I said, get out!"
And when the second voice sounded, everyone seemed to be controlled by their bodies, although they were reluctant in their hearts, but their steps involuntarily began to retreat.
It wasn't until he exited the ward that the pressure was finally relieved, and a security guard closed the door casually as he left.
Then, everyone looked at each other, not understanding what had just happened.
"Hmph, what a bunch of creatures with little willpower. β
Inside the house, Tang Yifeng saw everyone leaving, squinted his eyes, and showed a sinister smile.
But soon, the frown was raised again.
"The program's limit running time is almost up, why hasn't the stupid host finished yet?"
At the same time, ropes spread and stretched in Xia Mengmeng's body, constantly capturing the abnormal cells.
'The [Tree of Life] Phase 2 program activity time, 5 minutes remaining. β
"Hey, stupid host! it's almost time, close the program!"
The prompt sound and the anxious voice of Deep Blue sounded almost at the same time.
Tang Yifeng heard it, but didn't do it.
"It's going to be right away, just wait a minute, just a minute. β
The ropes continued to work, and more mutant cells were firmly tied, and just then, a large group of gray and dark bodies appeared.
"This should be a tumor. β
Tang Yifeng was overjoyed in his heart, and according to the description of his primary medical skills, he quickly determined that what he saw in front of him was the source of Xia Mengmeng's pain, a malignant tumor that proliferated in the liver.
'Warning, two minutes remaining in the second phase of the Tree of Life procedure. β
"Stupid host, end the program quickly! If you exceed the limit of your skill, you will really disappear!"
"I've found the source of the disease, and it will be over soon. β
Tang Yifeng ignored the warnings and stretched out the rope again and again, trying to wrap the malignant tumor in it.
However, the size of the tumor is far from being comparable to that of abnormal cells, and once it comes into contact with the rope, many tumors actually split into several small fragments, which undoubtedly makes the progress of the restraint work even slower.
'Warning, program countdown begins, 59, 58, 57......'
"I'm not kidding you, I'm really going to die!"
But at this moment, Tang Yifeng had no time to care about Deep Blue's anxious words, but just kept capturing the fragments that split out one after another.
40,39,38β¦β¦
The malignant tumor is basically bound by ropes, and there are still dividing abnormal cells that need to be treated.
18,17,16β¦β¦
"It's done!" Tang Yifeng cheered, all the mutant cells were captured, "What should I do next?"
"Quick! Start the fusion, it's now!"
Deep Blue's words sounded, and Tang Yifeng didn't dare to hesitate.
'Abnormal cell bodies detected, is fusion confirmed?'
"Confirm!"
'Command received, fusion started, countdown 10, 9, 8 ......'
Deep Blue never thought that the countdown of only ten seconds would be so long, and at the moment when the fusion was completed, he immediately shouted loudly: "Exit the program!"
'The command is received, and the second stage of the [Tree of Life] program is closed, and the time of use this time is 29 minutes and 59 seconds. β
"Whew, it's really a long shot!"
When the program was closed, the scene Tang Yifeng saw in front of him also returned to normal.
There is an indescribable tiredness in the body, and with it, there are bursts of unbearable soreness.
Tang Yifeng snorted, very uncomfortable for this strange feeling.
But when he raised his head and looked at Xia Mengmeng, who was looking at him with an inexplicable look on the hospital bed, he couldn't help but smile with relief.
Not long ago, this little guy who was still full of pain and had a sallow face now has a much soothing expression.
Big eyes looked at Tang Yifeng quietly, and for a long time, the immature words with a little doubt and emotion gently drifted into his ears.
"Uncle, are you an immortal?"
