Chapter 54: Monsters
When the door opened, it didn't look unusual.
In fact, there is no such thing as a big secret imagined by Yuzo, and even if it is, it is impossible for him to be seen by an outsider. In fact, what he said was just casually, and there was no special meaning at all.
In fact, to some extent, it is worth talking about the fact that Yuzo entered here. After all, this is the territory of a legendary person like Orochimaru, and it is also the interior of his most secret base, and there is nothing false about what Dou said, except for the fact that other people have been here during the initial construction, no third person has come here since Orochimaru began to use it.
On the surface, it's really not that big.
The space inside looks relatively small, and it is occupied by various buildings and facilities. Some of them don't see what they do, but some of them are transparent glass, and you can see some of the scenes inside.
The smell of disinfectant water filled the air.
After turning a few forks, Yuzo saw Orochimaru's tall and thin figure leaning over a glass wall, looking intently at what was inside, and he didn't know what he was looking at.
"Orochimaru-sama, I've brought it with you!"
Orochimaru turned his head, and his eyes burst into surprise light: "Oh, hehe... It turned out to be Yuzo-kun, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon, I really haven't prepared for anything..."
Orochimaru walked briskly towards Yuzo.
He came directly to Yuzang and stared at Yuzang for a long time with an expression of looking at a strange animal, until Yuzang felt a little numb in his scalp before he whispered: "Come, Yuzang-kun, I think it is necessary to show you something, I guarantee that you will feel very surprised!"
As he spoke, he pointed to the side where he had just stood, inside the heavy transparent glass wall.
Surprise? Yuzo didn't think he could have any surprises. At this time, he was already very guarded, and a layer of fine threads was shrouded all over his body to prevent the possibility of Orochimaru making a sudden move.
"Don't worry, Yuzo-kun." Orochimaru smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't do that kind of thing, I don't have the confidence to keep you now, to be honest, this is really a surprising fact, it's only been a long time, Yuzang-kun already has such strength, presumably there must be an unusual experience in this process, right?"
He guessed right, but of course Orochimaru wouldn't have thought that Yuzo had traveled through time not long ago, and although he had experienced great danger, he had also gained enough benefits.
At Orochimaru's signal, Yuzo slowly walked over there.
Behind the glass wall is a white laboratory, and the walls plus the restraint table for experiments and so on, are all white. But that's usual, and at this time, it's not just white.
Large swaths of blood were all over the laboratory, and there were more than a dozen of them. There was only one monster lying on the ground that didn't look like a corpse, as quiet as a corpse. He appears to be humanoid, but has no hair, and his skin on his body, including the top of his head and the soles of his feet, is dark red patterned, spiral-shaped, with a certain regular distribution, uneven. If you had to describe it, Yuzo felt that the demon of hell was probably similar to it.
But this pattern also reminds Yuzo of another thing, that is, the appearance of the Devil Fruit.
Some speculations began to develop in his mind, but to be honest, Yuzo didn't want it to be true. So he turned his head to look at Orochimaru, and asked with an ugly expression, "What is this?"
"Oh! It seems that Yuzang-kun is still very keen, or does Yuzang-kun actually know something? Orochimaru saw something: "But of course, if Yuzang-kun is unwilling to say it, I won't force it."
"That's what I'm here for."
"Not long ago, Elder Konoha's Danzang sent me some gifts. To be honest, I really have to thank him, otherwise where would I have seen something like this that broke my understanding? This monster was made out of the things that Danzo gave me, and it looks ugly, right? Actually, he didn't come like this. ”
"When I first made it, it was two hours ago. It spent the whole day in the medium like the rest of the specimens, and when I got back, I couldn't wait to release them, hoping for some changes. What makes me happy is that the change has happened. ”
"Almost every one of these cultivated individuals is a living dead, and they don't survive more than ten minutes in normal conditions after they come out. But it's different, you don't know that when it first came out, it showed completely different qualities, and the other companions were waiting to die like a pile of meat, but it was seeking its own survival......"
"It attacked me, but I was merciful enough to give it a chance to live. Do I know what it needs, nutrients? Not! It's Chakra! ”
Orochimaru obviously started to get excited when he said this, and he said loudly, "I gave it a few betrayers that I caught, and then! It sucked them into dried corpses! Do you know? At first, its appearance was no different from that of ordinary people, but as the chakra and energy were absorbed, it began to slowly change into this... It doesn't take much time, it's just a few minutes. ”
"What's more! It doesn't have any chakra in it! What is it? Chakra is really consumed! It's an unintelligent animal! It's just instinct! ”
"Something more terrible, or rather, happier has happened! Its body is constantly becoming more powerful as its appearance changes, both in terms of strength and speed! And the ability to heal itself, and the abnormal hardness of the flesh, it's almost like steel! ”
Yuzo listened silently, and the more he listened, the more he felt cold.
"Yes, this thing is made and cultivated with Yuzo-kun's cells, which is very important!" Orochimaru finally calmed down a little and began to get down to business: "What I want is actually very simple, and that's just some of your cells. A little blood, it's enough. ”
Is it really your own cells? That guy in the group...
After associating the appearance of the monster with the appearance of the Devil Fruit, Yuzo thought of this possibility. This kind of thing,Give Yuzo a feeling that he himself is no longer human.,With the ability of the thread fruit.,After having the thread escape.,Has he also become a human like Orochimaru, and the appearance is actually a monster-like thing? It's a sense of wavering about his own existence, am I a monster myself?
Taking a deep breath, Yuzo calmed down.
No matter, this kind of thing.
The most important thing at the moment is to get what he wants, not to doubt his life or something. Anyway, he's still Shinomiya Yuzo anyway, and he's still a person with a normal human mind, not some kind of monster.
"It's a pity, even if there is more chakra supplement, it will only prolong its life a little bit at most." Orochimaru didn't care about Yuzang's reaction, but looked at the monster lying on the ground and didn't even breathe, and said: "In order to prolong its life, it instinctively calms down completely, and even slows down its heartbeat to the point where it is almost completely absent, but this is also in vain, it can continue to live for two hours at most, and then it will die, if I don't feed it again..."
...
Regarding Orochimaru's words and behavior, Yuzo didn't want to comment more. He directly put forward his own conditions: "If you want my cells, of course you can, but there must be something in exchange!"
"Of course, it seems that Yuzang-kun has already thought about it, so what do you want?" Orochimaru said unconcernedly.
"The Immortal Mode Cultivation Method of the Dragon Earth Cave." Yuzang said directly.
"Oh! Deal! ”
Yuzo was originally going to exchange some other things, and if he didn't say it, Orochimaru would be very interested. At this time, although he was a little uncomfortable with giving his own blood and then being used for experiments, since he could get what he wanted so easily, there was no need to bother.
