October 13, 2506. The second star domain, De (Leger) Autonomous Prefecture, Xinghetian District (Chenjia).

The dock hatch closes, and only rock camouflage can be seen from the outside. Even the waves are rarely emitted, and if no one guides them, they can't tell that there is a space station here.

Standing in its dock cabin, Chen Shitong suddenly realized the insignificance of human beings. But grandpa didn't feel anything about it, and passed by Chen Shitong without saying a word behind his back.

He didn't seem to be in a good mood.

Chen Shitong suddenly woke up from her emotion and followed her grandfather Chen Moming closely. Chen Moming took her all the way to the depths of the base, through the long corridors, and took the elevator for a long time.

The whole base is like a huge town, and there is even public transport inside. The two of them made their way through most of the town and finally reached their destination.

It's just a research institute, and it looks ordinary. Chen Shitong suspected that this research institute was probably researching some incredible technology, and he came here for this technology.

Chen Moming entered the research institute and walked in front with his hands behind his back. Chen Shitong silently followed behind, the inside of the research institute became darker and darker, and the air became more and more cold and damp.

I don't know why, Chen Shitong's mood became more and more dull.

It's just, I really don't know why? Chen Shitong didn't want to think about this problem, and forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, she had arrived here, and there was no chance to regret it.

After taking the downward elevator at the institute, we finally reached our final destination. Chen Shitong felt that he had probably reached the lowest level of the base.

As soon as the elevator was released, the laboratory's laboratory revealed its true face.

Instead of being cold outside, it's bright and warm. There weren't many people in the lab, and a few were monitoring some instruments after that.

The man in uniform received the notice early in the morning, and when he saw Chen Moming, he immediately stepped forward to salute. Chen Moming nodded and immediately asked.

"How's the thing?"

"Everything works."

Chen Shitong didn't ask what the 'things' they were talking about were worth it. Because, she's already seen it. It stands right in the middle of the lab, sealed in a glass jar.

It looked like some kind of liquid metal, and it took the form of a girl. When Chen Shitong approached, the thing seemed to be stimulated, and began to distort and gradually reveal a similar appearance to Chen Shitong.

Eventually, the silvery white color of the liquid metal fades away, revealing fair skin. This...... This is exactly the same as Chen Shitong. It's like looking in a mirror, if it weren't for the glass pillar, the thing was still curled up, Chen Shitong really had to wonder if it was a mirror.

"Mercury Mother Heart."

"What?"

Grandpa's voice suddenly sounded next to Chen Shitong, and a sentence for no reason made her scratch her head.

"Its code name, this is some kind of secret art developed by the Zong family, which was later considered inhumane and put on hold for us indefinitely."

Developed by the clan?

"What's the use of that? What kind of secret art is it? ”

Chen Moming touched his beard and said, "Isn't there often the protagonist's skin and iron bones?" In reality, to do this, you need to consume a lot of spiritual power to strengthen your body. In this context, the clan wanted to develop a technique that would allow people to be as hard as iron as they wished. ”

"If you want to be hard, but don't you need to spend much spiritual power?"

Chen Moming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The original goal was indeed this, but there was a little accident later. ”

"What?"

"The spell will devour the user's life, transforming it into a metal lifeform, a false life."

As he spoke, he pointed to the mass in the pillar of glass...... Now it has become something for Chen Shitong. Chen Shitong probably understood what his grandfather meant.

"And that's it, the product of failure?"

Chen Moming nodded and said, "Well, the early prosthetic experiments were all successful. However, the first human experiments failed. The subject was the person in charge of the project, and she became like this, a mass of unconscious liquid metal life. ”

Maybe conscious, unable to talk, unable to communicate, not reacting. The only thing that will do so is to change shape depending on the object you are approaching. There is no difference between this kind of appearance and not being conscious.

The person in charge sacrificed, and the project naturally could not be carried out. After that, it was handed over to the Chen family for safekeeping and sealing, hoping that there would be a turnaround in the future technological development.

Although Chen Shitong understood this, she was even more confused.

"So what does all this have to do with me this time?"

Chen Moming hesitated for a moment and said, "The Zong family stopped studying because they were immersed in the grief of losing their lover. After our Chen family took over, we still made some observations. ”

As he spoke, Chen Moming nodded to the person beside him, and a light curtain descended, and some of the Chen family's observations began to be displayed on it.

"This thing is close to an energy body in nature. Theoretically, it is possible to rely on the technique of dependence. Thus indirectly manipulating its power. ”

Dependent? Commonly known as the upper body.

The upper body can be ghosts, and it can be spirits. Borrow the power of these things and strengthen yourself. However, depending on the technique, in the cosmic environment, there are too many limiting factors, such as not being able to find something that can be used on one's body. Therefore, this technique gradually declined.

Decline does not mean that it is lost, and Draig does not dare to brag about it, and the study of modern theology can be said to be at the forefront of mankind.

If you can really rely on it, it is very easy to change the appearance of the body, and even the state of the soul can be changed. If you want to hide from the eyes of the star phoenix, don't even think about the clumsy trick or the disguise technique.

Chen Shitong asked in a deep voice, "What is the price?" ”

"The side effects are unknown. Theoretically, this process may be irreversible, and depending on it, it will penetrate deep into the soul. So, you have to think through before you decide. As a grandfather, I would say that no matter what decision you make, I have your back. ”

Chen Shitong stared at the 'self' in the glass pillar and fell into deep thought. Chen Moming didn't speak anymore, quietly waiting for his granddaughter's decision.

One-minute, two-minute, three-minute...... Although there were no mechanical clocks in the lab, the sound of time passing seemed to be wafting in everyone's ears.

Chen Moming didn't urge his granddaughter, just waited quietly. He didn't tell his granddaughter that this mass contained all the spiritual power of the sacrificial girl. Even, the reaction of the Draiger bloodline was detected.

In other words, if he succeeds, Chen Shitong will not only be able to inherit the power of a strong man of the Drager Sect, but also have the opportunity to obtain the bloodline of the Drager!

Entering the separation means that the Deleger bloodline in the body has been completely lost, or diluted to the point of almost nothing. Deleger does not discriminate against the family, and everyone gets along as a family. A good education makes Drager's children never bully others because of their status.
