Chapter 270: The Secret of the Family Heirloom
Xu Rui was lying on the bed, his mouth slightly open, his whole body stiff, like a corpse, but the strange reaction on his body continued.
"What's wrong with the young master, what's going on with this disease?"
Even if he had never seen such a scene, An Ge understood that Xu Rui's illness was by no means an ordinary illness, and he was shocked and angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but shout at the shadow maid.
The shadow maid was shocked, and the images in her mind appeared one after another, as if she had returned to that terrible night a few days ago.
At that time, the Apocalypse Guard had just set up camp, preparing to deal with the Black Flag Army that was pursuing at full speed.
The combat meeting presided over by Xu Rui was quickly over, and Zhang Zuofeng led the other officers to take their places, when Han Qi, the commander of Qingtian County, suddenly came to the camp with people.
It turned out that a riot broke out in Qingtian County a few days ago, and the garrison general installed by the Cui family wanted to assassinate Han Qi, but Han Qi had been operating in Qingtian County for a long time, and the people around the general had already been rebelled by him.
Han Qi received the news before the boss made a move, so he immediately mobilized people to take down the boss and a cadre of people.
Although the general manager didn't know much about the inside story, during the interrogation, Han Qi still keenly discovered Xichuan's abnormal movements and judged that the situation was already precarious.
In addition, he also learned from the general manager that the Cui family wanted him to lead his headquarters to the southwest to help immediately once the incident was successful, and together with other garrisons, he would eliminate Xu Rui's Apocalypse Guard.
Xichuan fell, Qingtian County will definitely not be able to survive alone, in order to seek a glimmer of life, Han Qi immediately took his henchman Starry Night and hurried, and finally found the Apocalypse Guard, who had just settled.
Through the white glove Ye Shi of the King of Liao before, Xu Rui had long known Han Qi's identity, and immediately met with him in the camp.
Han Qi is indeed very talented, and he can analyze the situation clearly with just a few vague clues when the situation is unclear.
He believes that if the Cui family rises up, they will definitely defend Tianhe Pass, the gateway to Xichuan, and will mobilize heavy troops to surround the Apocalypse Guard, which is exactly the same as Xu Rui's judgment of the situation.
The two hit it off, so they immediately formulated a strategy of fighting and retreating, going to Qingtian County to repair first, and then the driver moved.
The secret conversation ended quickly, and Xu Rui sent Han Qi out of the tent and instructed Zhang Zuofeng to arrange several of them in the army.
But not long after they left, the burden that Xu Rui had been carrying with him suddenly vibrated wildly, and he was suddenly shocked, because there was only one thing in the baggage, that is, the heirloom left to him by Yang Weiyuan, the mysterious locket.
Xu Rui hurriedly opened the bag and took out the small box, only to see the blue light shining on the small box, vibrating violently, and at the same time constantly emitting a cold female voice.
Xu Rui could hear it clearly, it was in English: "Warning...... Warn...... The memory is about to be activated...... The memory is about to be activated! ”
Then, before Xu Rui could react, the small box suddenly seemed to collapse, and the shell on the surface suddenly opened, spraying out a thick pink mist.
The moment Xu Rui saw the thick fog, his face changed greatly, and he subconsciously wanted to get rid of the locket, but at this moment, the shadow maid was afraid that something would happen to Xu Rui, and suddenly rushed towards him.
"Don't come here!"
Xu Rui exclaimed in surprise, raised his palm towards the shadow maid, and then wrapped the small box tightly in his arms to prevent the dense fog from drifting out.
Strange to say, I don't know what the thick fog is, although it looks extremely thick, but it will immediately dissipate after only two or three inches away, becoming colorless and odorless.
The dense fog on the locket erupted for a few seconds and then disappeared, returning to its original appearance, but Xu Rui fell to the ground and convulsed.
The shadow maid hurriedly rushed over and hugged Xu Rui in her arms, only to see Xu Rui suddenly cold and hot, his flesh and blood withered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in just a few breaths, his head became snow-white, as if he had become an old man in an instant.
The shadow maid was horrified and subconsciously wanted to go out to call someone, but Xu Rui suddenly grabbed her and whispered: "I'm fine, this matter must not be known to anyone!" ”
The shadow maid didn't know what happened to Xu Rui, so she had to listen to him and help him to the bed, and then he fell into a coma.
Throughout the night, Xu Rui's body was undergoing terrifying changes, just like this time, the scene was extremely weird, even to the extent beyond imagination.
But fortunately, as time went on, his aging seemed to slowly stop, and gradually showed signs of improvement, but he was never able to wake up.
Early the next morning, Zhang Zuofeng came to Xu Rui, and the shadow maid had to tell him that Xu Rui was seriously ill, so Zhang Zuofeng had to command the Apocalypse Guard to fight the Black Flag Army in a decisive battle.
Fortunately, Zhang Zuofeng, who independently commanded the First Army for the first time, lived up to expectations, and although he paid an extremely heavy price, he still repelled the attack of the Black Flag Army.
After another day, Xu Rui finally woke up, and his physical condition gradually stabilized, but he was still very weak, and he would relapse every once in a while, until today.
The shadow maid told the story of this matter, and An Ge was uneasy when she heard it, this matter was so bizarre, it would probably only appear in legends, but I didn't expect it to be encountered by the young master.
"Didn't the young master get some medicine to take during this time?"
An Ge asked uneasily.
The shadow maid shook her head: "No, the young master said that it is useless to take medicine......
An Ge was stunned: "The medicine made by the young master himself is useless, what should I do?" ”
"I'm fine......"
An Ge was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, but suddenly heard Xu Rui on the bed say something.
An Ge suddenly turned around, only to see a layer of white veil slowly open in Xu Rui's eyes, like a waterproof membrane in a crocodile's eyes.
Immediately after, the strange reactions on his body gradually disappeared, his stiff body slowly became soft, and his empty eyes seemed to regain a little vitality.
With a "quack" bone knuckle, Xu Rui's still somewhat stiff neck slowly turned around and looked at An Ge.
I don't know if it's an illusion, An Ge always feels that Xu Rui is a little younger than when he first saw him.
"You know everything?"
Xu Rui asked blankly, his tone was still a little stiff, like the cold voice of those evil ghosts in the Yellow Spring.
An Ge nodded.
Xu Rui was silent for a moment, sat up with the support of the shadow maid, and said solemnly: "You can know about this matter, and you can't let others know." ”
An Ge nodded again.
Xu Rui's body seemed to have recovered a little, and he didn't let the shadow maid help him anymore, and got out of bed by himself.
However, as soon as he took the first step, An Ge noticed that something was wrong, Xu Rui's feet actually stepped directly into the ground, half an inch deep.
You must know that although the ground is not a hard rock, it is also mud that has not been drenched in water, and unless you hit it with a hammer, how can you step directly into the ground?
"Young Master!"
An Ge looked at him in surprise.
Xu Rui also noticed the abnormality, he glanced at An Ge, did not speak, and walked straight to the side of the handsome case to stand still.
"You don't understand this, I won't be able to die for a while, don't worry."
Xu Rui told An Ge and the shadow maid not to worry, but his own heart was not calm.
He raised his arm, and saw that the withered skin was gradually becoming delicate, and under the skin, the muscle tissue was also growing wildly, and his strength was several times greater than a few days ago.
By all indications, the pink mist that erupted from the box that day was actually a genetic modification potion, which is usually used on clones to give them extraordinary combat power for a certain period of time.
The series of symptoms that appeared in his body before were typical reactions of genetic drugs modifying his body, and in the eyes of those who don't know, it was such a terrifying appearance.
Due to technical reasons, the effects of a genetic agent like this one only last for a certain period of time, and are usually accompanied by strong side effects, the longer the duration, the better the effect, and the greater the side effects.
Xu Rui has been roughly assessing the effect of the transformation for the past few days, and the genetic medicine he has come into contact with is about D1 level, which is considered a medium medicine.
This type of medicine is mainly used on ordinary front-line troops at the middle and low levels, and its function is to enhance the body's metabolic speed, strength, explosiveness and agility, as for how long it will last, only God knows.
According to convention, if such an effect only lasts for a few months, or a year and a half, then Xu Rui will pay seven or eight years of life at most, but if this effect continues, then it will be difficult for him to live past the age of thirty.
In fact, the worry about side effects is still secondary, after all, it is a headache in the future, and there are two things that really bother him.
First, the locket is certainly not a product of this world, so who brought it and for what purpose?
Second, the locket returned to its original state after releasing the genetic potion, but now Xu Rui has been able to open it by scanning his fingerprint, and it seems to store a lot of information inside, but for the time being, Xu Rui can only see the coordinates on the terrestrial planet.
He didn't know what was in this coordinate location, let alone which planet the coordinates belonged to, or if it would be the planet he was on right now.
Because this world lacks the necessary geographical discoveries, Xu Rui knows almost nothing about this planet, and even if the coordinates guide him, he can't find the specific location through the coordinates alone.
And intuition told Xu Rui that maybe this coordinate would be very important, maybe it would be the key for him to return to another world, or uncover the mystery of this world.
In addition, the locket had been quiet and quiet, but since he met Han Qi, he was suddenly activated, this Han Qi's identity may be very special, or he is carrying something on his body that can activate the locket.
This Han Qi is also the key......
Xu Rui grabbed the locket from the baggage, his face gloomy and terrifying.
"Ange, go and help me do something."
Xu Rui suddenly stuffed the small box back into his pocket and said in a deep voice.
