Chapter 23: The Soul and the Serum
"Tucci ......"
The familiar voice came into his ears, and the light in the tent began to fade, and Tucci turned around stiffly, looked at Cassia Ming, who was dressed in a white robe and couldn't see his face clearly, and knelt directly on the ground.
"Please, save Enos......"
Cassia helped him up with a complicated mood, and first said: "I said, whether you are afraid or submitted, or agree, don't bow down." ”
Tuqi got up tremblingly, he was over fifty years old because he had awakened the lifespan gene, so he still looked like a middle-aged man, but the tears had nothing to do with age.
"Please, save her......"
Cassia looked up at Enos, her eyes only indifferent and calm, and she just stared at him.
Cassia shook his head, not that he didn't want to save it, but that when his power spread to Enos, there was no reaction at all, to put it simply, even if he replaced all of Enos's cells, he couldn't stop the cells themselves from stopping dividing.
But soon he understood, everything is still genetic, and genes have already determined the upper limit of Enos's lifespan, maybe he will have a way in the future, but now he is really powerless.
Even the Lifetime plugin has no way to function if the main sequence has run out of oil.
Then, Enos looked at Cassia and Tucci and slowly closed her eyes, and Tucci pounced in panic, gently shaking Enos's shoulders and slowly calling her name.
At this moment, Cassia saw the fifteen-year-old Tucci, the first time he saw him and almost peed his pants.
Cassia closed his eyes, unable to bear to look at the scene, but then he felt something float out of Enos, burrow into his spirit, and vanish.
If the life force in the sea of Cassia consciousness is compared to a basin of water, the essence and quantity of this basin of water have not changed at this time, but there is a slight ripple on the surface of the water, and at this moment, Cassia seems to understand something.
"Inos...... Enos...... Why ......"
Although he did not admit it nominally, Tucci, who was actually the leader of the orc tribe, cried loudly, holding Enos's body tightly and refusing to let go.
Cassia just stood quietly, not disturbing, and the orcs outside seemed to know what was going on, and they all stood in place, silent.
After a while, Tucci put away his tears, gently lowered Enos, and tucked her hand back under the animal skin that covered him, and he slowly turned around and looked at Cassia in silence.
Cassia knew what he was thinking, reached out and put his hand on his shoulder, and the two of them walked out of the tent together, among the orcs outside, some had seen Cassia and some had not, but they also knew about Cassia from the mural and the mouth of the rat man.
Everyone saw him and Tucci walk out, and they all wanted to kneel on the ground, but Cassia waved his hand, and an invisible force held everyone up, and then he took Tucci forward with him and disappeared in place.
At the foot of a hill behind the orc territory, the figures of Cassia and Tucci appeared, Cassia took two steps forward, sat down on a stone casually, and patted the side.
Tucci walked over in silence and sat down slowly, and in front of them was the grave of the Eagle Brother and the sickle monsters.
"Do you know why I brought you here?"
Tucci shook his head.
"You must not understand, do you?"
Tucci nodded, then hurriedly shook his head again.
Cassia patted him on the shoulder again, "It's too early to tell you this, but this may be the last time I'll be here." ”
Tucci looked at Cassia with a look of surprise.
"Before leaving, I have something to teach you, and this is the last thing I will teach you. ”
"What...... What ......"
"Life and death are impermanent. ”
"Raw...... Life and death are impermanent...... Life and death are impermanent......" Tucci kept muttering.
"Maybe you don't understand it, maybe you never will, but you have to teach this thing, impermanence and hope, both of which are more precious than anything I have taught you. ”
"We ...... Are you going to die?"
"Everything in the world grows and dies, and no one can escape, this is the law, but ...... Impermanence...... Impermanence. ”
"That'...... What about you?"
Tucci couldn't see Cassia clearly, but Cassia frowned, and his heart was very complicated, so he didn't reply immediately, but got up and walked to the graves, waving his hand to sweep away the fallen leaves on them.
"I'll ...... too"
Cassia's figure slowly vanished.
..................
In the Moon Palace, Cassia holds a bottle of beer and stands on the top floor to let out the wind, where he doesn't have to eat, but he can also simulate that feeling.
Looking at the continent outside where it was already night, Cassia took a sip of beer, and with a wave of his hand, the crystal ball also fell into darkness, and he just sat on the top of the Moon Palace, dangling his legs.
Enos's death was more helpless than sad for him, more sad than tangled, in short, the unspeakable awkwardness in his heart now, it was indeed as he said when he left the orc race, everything will perish, and he is the same.
But impermanence...... He didn't know what the law of impermanence was, but he believed that he would find a way.
Then there's the question of knowing the sea, that strange thing may be the soul of Enos, but after they die, the soul will go to the sea of knowledge and become part of the life force?
But where did the first soul come from? Out of thin air? But what is the basis? Do those creatures that have been condensed out of thin air have souls? When did the souls of intelligent beings born out of wedlock come into being?
Cassia hadn't yet escaped from Enos's death, and countless questions had popped up in his head.
And he has Enos's genetic template in his hands, but he doesn't know if it's born or not, he doesn't want to try, and he doesn't dare to try.
Cassia sat on the top floor all night, and it wasn't until the moon turned below the continent again that he staggered back to the first floor.
He smiled and said hello to Brother Diao, as if nothing had happened.
On the third floor, Cassia was sitting at the stone table and kept writing in his notebook, both the human race and the orc race, and there would be other races in the future, but this matter was delayed by one position.
He intends to solve the problem of the viral serum first, implement live infection, and fix the ability plug-in to a specific position in the master sequence.
The reason why he wanted to study the serum was because when he wanted to give a certain ability to living creatures in the future, it would be too troublesome to get a virus alone to infect it.
Because an individual cannot represent the entire race, he has to be extremely detailed in the amount of spiritual markers.
But what if you breed in large quantities? Not only is it convenient, but if you give a little more at a time, the infection rate will be accelerated.
The most important thing is that he only needs to put a spirit marker on the host that produces the virus once, and as long as the virus replicates, the spirit marker inside will naturally be diluted.
In fact, he already has a plan to achieve this goal, first of all, the virus he designed will not replicate autonomously, so the host is needed to infect and replicate, there is nothing more suitable for this work than a large leech, except that it will be a little difficult to isolate.
Then there are his personal conjectures, such as how to get a creature to control the wind, control the flames, etc., which are abilities that ordinary creatures don't have, and can't be deducted from other places.
So he decided to make some attempts, also using the technique of the virus to fix the ability on the main sequence, but this time the virus did not carry the ability gene, but the will symbol he carved with spiritual points.
This symbol of will can temporarily provide some access to the Atlanta World Database, allowing it to control these abilities.
And there is a limit to the effect that can be achieved, if the individual who has the ability wants to force the ability to the extreme, it is okay, but it can only be used once, and the will symbol will be consumed after using it.
This is also a matter of no choice, after all, Cassia now wants to turn over the land of the Atlantic world, and he himself needs to spend spirit points.
Perhaps in the future, a spell can be devised to use cassia as a channel to communicate with the database, but it will cost the individual's own mental power.
But isn't it that the spiritual power system has not yet been researched? I can only practice my hands with this plan first.
