Chapter 187: The Meaning of Eternal Life
The skyscraper of the commercial bank, like a giant monster, stands silently in the midst of the city, turning around and leaving a dark silhouette of its back. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info rain line makes the occasionally lit workshop more foggy and blurry. Vehicles are scarce and rainwater flows on wide roads. The figure walked through the dimly lit exit of the underground building, and surveillance caught only a glimpse of a slender figure. Kunjie and Wei Zhe used fake identities to take Li Senzheng to the hospital for treatment. He has been in a coma, and severe nerve damage has endangered Li Senzheng's life. Free radicals and Enron's sudden attack on the local gang has greatly damaged the vitality of the local gang. In their usual ways, free radicals create the false illusion of a struggle for the interests of gangs to cover up the scene and the truth.
Ding Yi stood on the bridge crossing the street. The rainy night was quiet, and the water droplets slid down the path that only a super Homo sapiens could calculate. The train went away on the air tracks. In the distance is the Ann's Property Building in the heart of the independent river. The lighthouse searchlight ball rotates leisurely in the rain, cutting through the endless rain with light.
There was silence and no one around. Ding Yi threw away the cigarette butt. He felt that Durandin was nearby. This is supposed to be an invisible magnetic inductance line. The reaction of the chip to the magnetic field comes from the abnormally strong magnetic control force of Durelentina.
Du Lengding walked up the elevator and walked towards Ding Yi.
"You've got to control your magnetic field, or I'm going to go home and put on protective gear first." Ding Yi turned his head and raised his hand to stop Du Lengding from getting closer to him. The last time they met, Du Lengding used his own anomalous magnetic pole to knock down Ding Yi.
"No, you don't." After Du Lengding reacted, he shook his head and said. He looked back left and right. It's like a butcher who has a long smell of blood on his body, and he can naturally have a terrifying deterrent effect on dogs. A biohacker feels more to a magnetic pole than a dog is to smell.
"Do I need it?" He asked Ding Yi rhetorically.
"What?"
"Are you going to throw pulse bombs at me again?"
"Oh, no." Ding Yi shook his head, stretched his hand out of his pocket, and turned to look at the mist outside the glass, "Why are you here, it's because of Li Senzheng?" ”
"I've always been in Danyun City, to be exact, I'm looking for you." Du Lengding squinted his eyes and turned off several commercial neon signs on the street, "Li Sen is old, and the nerve bundle can't withstand the violent toss. Biohackers are retired at a certain age. He put his hand in his pocket. Du Lengding's expression already explained Li Senzheng's physical condition.
"How old are you?" Ding Yi turned his head and looked at Du Lengding's face and body, which were insulated from aging. "They say you're eternal?"
"I can't remember exactly, but according to the genital time, I was about 120 years old."
Ding Yi smiled dumbly. "Why is this happening?"
"I don't know, probably, I'm the tadpole that belongs to the pond and is born deformed."
Ding nodded, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and a nocturnal young man wearing a waterproof suit walked under the bridge.
"You're still looking for me? To ask me for immortal enzymes? ”
"Yes," Dulending took a deep breath, "I'm sorry to drag you to where you are today. Ding Yi, anyone who knows my secret will be affected, regardless of whether it is good or bad. ”
"You're already an immortal, so why do you need immortal enzymes? One infinity is already infinity, do you want two? ”
"Yes!" Dulendin's face was covered with drops of water that he had walked through the rain.
"Two! .......”
..........
I was born in pre-war Japan. It was mad and irrational; The era of gambling for your life and surviving. Because of the war, the family was torn apart, and my father died at Midway. As a child, bombers flew overhead, and in the sound of air defense sirens, I saw tons of incendiary bombs being poured down, and the sky was in flames; I've experienced the atom firsthand. Bullet shock wave heat wave high temperatures. The year my brother was buried, Japan surrendered, and the war finally ended.
Post-war Japan experienced an unprecedented economic boom. Everything flourished. the Tokyo Olympics, the Osaka World Expo, skyrocketing land prices, and the U.S.-Japan security alliance; With the times, I entered the youth and entered the first technological era that I have experienced. At that time, I was successful in my studies and went to study in North America. Then he returned to Japan, married a wife, and started a family. Originally, I always thought that I was a very ordinary person.
Except for one thing, that is, I gradually found that I was far from the people around me in terms of appearance. At that time, the level of medicine could not detect the cause. So I simply thought I was just with special cases. In the 80s, after the Japanese economic bubble arrived, I divorced my first wife and left Japan again for the United States. At that time, research on human genetic medicine had already improved. I consulted with the Hughes Medical Institute of San Francisco. They were very interested in my case and were willing to use the most advanced medical methods to do a comprehensive examination for me. When I came to San Francisco and learned my secret, I was scared. Because I am not the same era as all the people in this world, and when I die, maybe their children and grandchildren have multiplied for dozens of generations.
In addition to these boring reveries, the most realistic thing is that the crisis is coming.
No matter who revealed the secret, in short, the time has come: coercion, assassins, scholars, capitalists; All those who knew about it suffered inexplicable deaths; My ex-wife, family, friends, and even people who have just heard of me have been invisibly killed.
I realized my own value, and that it carries the same weight of danger.
So I sold all my possessions and sneaked back to Japan. After forging my identity, I stayed at the Yoshida Life Research Institute in Japan, where I tried to figure out what happened to me while staying incognito. I often move every few years. Because after too much time, they will become suspicious of my appearance. I have enough time to learn any one thing because I have more time than anyone else. I learned how to hide myself from those who couldn't find out. One thing is for sure, there must be people who know me, who are secretly protecting me and helping me, even though I have never been able to find out who they are.
At the end of the twentieth century, I entered the second era of technological leapfrogging. I started fighting back, starting with Hughes Medical School, starting with those who revealed my secrets. I found out about the vast network of interests behind them. Their power and tentacles are so vast that they envelop half the world. For decades, I was alone, searching and searching for their interests. The only thing I can overcome them is time. I transcended the constraints of time and was like a fighter digging for the truth. Occasionally, like-minded people join in and follow me. For example, Li Senzheng.
This kind of life in the dark, until I met Keiko, was completely changed.
"Is that the woman Li Senzheng is talking about? Her name is Keiko? ”
"Until then, I had been trying to understand whether the extra eternal life that God had given me was a gift. And after foreseeing Keiko, I finally realized that eternal life can only be a kind of torture for an individual, an endless torment. ”
"She seems to be very powerful if she can conquer you."
"Keiko is a high school student."
“..... Isn't that a century later than you? ”
When I met Keiko, she was a rebellious high school student. I often skip class and met me on the subway. You know, all the age, time, and looks are just a blink of an eye in my eyes. But in her, I saw for the first time the vividness of life, real life, because of love. It's like a person in a hurry stopping and admiring the leaves of a tree that is only a year old. This stop is twenty years. Until then, I had become accustomed to the countless people around me, passing away and giving new life. It's just a cycle for me. The face is old, and the age is beautiful.
I fell in love with her, true love. I don't want to go after the people who keep harassing me, I just want to compromise with them if I can. I just want to live quietly with Keiko. I took her to many places, to the ends of the world; The lighthouses of Tierra del Fuego, the sea breeze of Cape Verde, the aurora and snow of Greenland, to find the end of our hearts, the place where the sea is dry and rocky.
But I understand, and she understands, that I am the only one who can really wait for the sea to rot. Twenty years, for me, is just a morning of cycles. But twenty years, for Keiko, she has come to the end of her life. Twenty years in the morning, I combed her hair, she looked at the wrinkles in the mirror and cried, she had cancer. And I can't lose her anymore. This is something that you cannot comprehend, and time has stood almost still for me. Day by day, I watched Keiko grow old, watched her physical appearance surpass me at an accelerated rate, and watched her go from high school to menopause. A young girl, a wife in a wedding dress, or a woman with wrinkles after washing off her makeup, every morning I wake up, I think I'm back to the morning when Keiko is still by my side.
And I can't grow old with her and leave this world together.
"That's why you want immortal enzymes?"
"I froze her incurable body and searched the world for it; Just find a way or wait until the day when medical technology can overcome it, revive her again, let her live forever like me, and let her stay with me forever. ”
"That's what the rest of my life is for."
In order to find a cure, or resurrection, Keiko, I took the initiative to find PfizerSmithKline. At that time, they already had the world's top biotechnology. I told Greenpan my secret, and I did not hesitate to sell my body and put myself in danger so that they could study the secret of eternal life. In order to save Keiko, I have no reservations. In exchange, Greenpan decides to set out to heal Keiko. But this guy actually broke his promise, his mind was only on dealing with the forty-seven body people.
In the end, all my research results and hopes point to one place, Danyun City.
