Chapter 292 Contradictions
Xenomorphs do not have xenogeneous native organs in their bodies, so they can only stay in the initial stage forever.
Su Jinwei's modulation of xenomorphs is to artificially introduce more cells, within the range they can bear, increase the concentration and activity of cells, and then let them evolve and grow to a higher stage.
After modulation, Chen Hu and the others had even been raised to the fourth-order combat power level. Twilight Xue even jumped to the fifth order, which was already Li Feng's combat power rating when he was a Taiyi warrior, so Twilight Xue was also very surprised to hear Li Man's words.
After Li Man calmed down, he said with a smile: "Congratulations to everyone, you have all grown greatly. The next thing you need to do is to practice and get familiar with and stabilize your current state. However, I would like to remind you that although the results of the concoction went unexpectedly, it was artificially generated because of your current state.
Therefore, it is not ruled out that the concentration and activity of cells in the body will decrease, and if this happens, then unfortunately, you will not be able to accept the second concoction, otherwise your genes will collapse. ”
"So, today I advise everyone to rest well and start training tomorrow."
"I'll go see Dream Butterfly, and then I'll look for you." Lin Ci said.
"That's it."
went to the cultivation room to see Han Mengdie, this time Lin Xi didn't say anything, just quietly looked at the woman in the nutrient solution.
"You eat this way, be careful of indigestion." Lin Xi snatched the bread from Aoi's hand.
Aoi looked at him with tears in her eyes, Lin Ci made her puppy-like eyes a little unbearable, and hurriedly turned her head and shouted: "No, no matter how pitiful Aoi is, you can't eat it anymore." ”
"And Xiao Jiu, you too, do you think that this way of eating can grow out the meat that has not grown Qi?"
Xiao Jiu said angrily: "Do you think about it, don't think about it that I haven't eaten for a few days." ”
"You should be modest, you haven't eaten for too long, and if you eat so much at once, your body won't be able to bear it." Twilight's voice comes from the stairs.
Lin Ci looked over, and she had already changed into a blue and white cheongsam.
"It's amazing now, the whole person has become very ethereal and thorough. It's as if there's an inexhaustible strength in my body.,I really want to find an opponent to fight.。 ”
Lin Ci nodded and said, "I also felt this way when the blood devouring evolved, and it usually stabilized after three or five days. ”
"That's what evolution feels like." Twilight closed her eyes, this appearance was even more lethal.
Lin Xi looked around and asked, "What about Caterson, didn't he concoct it with you?" ”
"Ketterson isn't a xenomorph, I've heard he's trained in a different way." Chen Hu walked over from the kitchen, and the big man with a robotic arm was holding a can of food in his hand.
Xiao Jiu stretched out his hand and pointed at Chen Hu and shouted, "Put it down, God, that's our last can!" ”
Chen Hu showed a mouthful of white teeth, and then as if he was afraid that something would be snatched by Xiao Jiu, he cleaned it up in three or two times.
Lin Ci shook his head and said, "You can't take it easy, but ...... It's good you're back. ”
Twilight raised her eyebrows and said, "Did something happen?" Sounds like you're preoccupied. ”
Lin Ci looked at her with a wry smile and said, "I really can't hide anything from you." ”
Then Su Jinwei and their decision were briefly explained. After listening to Lin Ci's narration, Twilight Xue was silent, Chen Hu's reaction was the same as Lin Ci's, and he immediately kneaded the empty cans into discus, and roared: "How can they be like this!" If I cooperate with Xeno, what is the difference between it and an agent, I won't be a Xenomorph minions if I die, then I'll be too sorry for the dead! ”
Twilight stood up, walked down the stairs, and reached out to pat Chen Hu lightly on the shoulder. A chill was released from his palm, which made Chen Hu roar. Twilight Xue said lightly, "Calm down first, even if Dr. Su makes such a decision, there is no need to be so excited." After all, that only represents their decision to make the capital, but it does not represent us, let alone Lin Xi. ”
She looked at Lin Ci: "Are you right?" ”
"I don't know." Lin Ci shook his head, sighed and said, "Now that the Kunlun witch corpse has fallen into Shi Longfei's hands, it is basically hopeless to recapture it by force alone. From my father's tone, if you want to find the Kunlun Jade Ruins, you probably need a witch corpse and a jade disc in your hands to do it, but I don't even know what the specific method is. It is conceivable that if they can't recapture the witch corpse, then in order to enter the Jade Ruins, they will eventually choose to cooperate with Shi Longfei. ”
"I definitely don't want to see such a result, but if I don't enter the Jade Ruins, Mengdie will have no hope at all."
Lin Ci held his forehead and said, "So now, I'm very conflicted. ”
Chen Hu said loudly: "Lin Ci, no matter what you decide, there is only one thing I can do, brother, and that is to support you." Whatever you want to do, I've got your back. If there is one person in this world who can make me willing to die, it is you! Hey, I can't speak, don't mind. ”
Lin Ci looked at this upright man and nodded. Although he is still very conflicted, he is still moved by the unreserved support of Chen Hu.
Xiao Jiu next to him pouted and said, "You still say that you can't speak, obviously you say it so beautifully, I'm about to be moved to death by you." ”
Chen Hu could hear that she was talking back, and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Twilight Xue glanced at Xiao Jiu, and then said to Lin Ci, "None of the outsiders in this room are outsiders, and we all support you." But you don't have to rush to make a decision, my advice is to talk to Dr. Su first. Listen to his thoughts, it's best to understand the role of the witch corpse and the jade saucer, and then think it through before making a decision. ”
"But as Chen Hu said, no matter what your final decision is, we people will support you."
Lin Ci thought for a moment before saying, "Twilight Xue is right, instead of me being a mediocre person here, it's better to ask my dad for clarification, and then it's not too late to make a decision." ”
"It's for the best."
"Well, I'll go over now and see if they're done." Lin Ci said just do it, left a sentence of "I'll eat here for dinner", and left.
Xiao Jiu finally ended the battle at her table, patted her stomach and sighed: "Man, it's just a stupid donkey, you have to kick it in the back to know how to go." ”
Twilight chuckled, shook her head, and said, "He's not stupid, he just needs time to make a judgment." ”
Xiao Jiu glanced at her, and shook his head helplessly: "Come on, you and Mengdie have the same virtue, they both say that a woman who is blinded by love will think that stupid donkey is cute." ”
Twilight shrugged her shoulders slightly, not wanting to continue arguing with her on this issue. Wrap it up.
Lin Ci returned to the building and bumped into Riemann head-on. She looked in a hurry, and Lin Ci was just about to stop her to inquire about the next meeting. I didn't expect to see him, but Li Man cheered, ran over and pulled Lin Ci and said, "Come with me, the doctor just asked me to find you, which will save me a lot of trouble." ”
"They're done?" Lin Xi asked.
"It's done, and when I come back, they're done. No, the doctor is waiting for you in his office. ”
It's been a while since I came to Xudu, and Lin Ci has been to a lot of places, but Su Jinwei's office has still not been in. This is the first time to come, Li Man pushed open the door, and inside the door was a small room for visitors, and there was a door inside, which was Su Jinwei's own private office.
Li Man asked Lin Ci to find a place to sit down in the small living room, but Lin Ci couldn't sit still, walked around, and finally stopped in front of a bookshelf.
In one of the shelves, there is a photograph. The photograph has been yellowed, and although it is contained in the frame, it does not stop the passage of time. In this yellowed photo, Su Jinwei was more than 10 years ago. Next to him, there was also a boy. The boy seemed to be angry with Su Jinwei, deliberately not looking at the camera, but he couldn't help but turn his face slightly.
That was when Lin Ci was a child, Su Jinwei led him to shoot.
After more than ten years, he is no longer the little boy he was back then.
The man with his coat off and his hands in his trouser pockets, his frost-white hair looking at the frames on the bookshelf, his eyes full of smiles.
"Dad, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper in the hall and embarrassed you. Lin Ci looked at the wrinkles at the corners of this man's eyes, and suddenly felt the pressure on his body. Looking at himself again, instead of helping him bear some of it, he also imposed more pressure on him.
Su Jinwei waved his hand and said with a faint smile: "It's okay, kid." I'm not angry, on the contrary, I'm glad you were able to say that. You are still an upright person and you are always living up to your beliefs. I'm happy from the bottom of my heart. ”
"Time is always the most terrible thing in the world." Su Jinwei sat down on a dark sofa, "It smooths our edges and corners, makes us sophisticated, sleek." Let us know how to compromise, learn to give up, and let us live like a fish in water. But it makes us abandon the things we once insisted on, such as beliefs, and some of them gradually become the kind of people they used to hate the most, driven by time. ”
"Dad......" Lin Ci heard the faint sentimentality in his words, but he didn't know how to comfort him.
Su Jinwei smiled: "I'm fine, it's just that I feel a little emotional when I see that my son has grown up and knows how to persevere." ”
"Let me get down to business, the end result of the meeting is the one you least happy to see. Yes, in the end, we decided to contact Shi Longfei. Su Jinwei looked at Lin Ci calmly and said, "If time permits, I may think of other ways." But it's a pity that whether it's the dream butterfly girl or the timing of entering the Kunlun Jade Ruins, there is no time for me to arrange it well and think about it in the long run. ”
"So Lin Ci, even if you decide to leave, I won't be surprised. And I promise, will not interfere with any of your decisions. There is only one thing I want to do......" Su Jinwei said softly: "I wish you well." ”
Lin Xi did not return until the evening.
In the living room, a rich dinner is ready.
Lin Ci took a look, except for Kate and Han Mengdie, everyone was there.
"Sit down here." Twilight Xue pulled him into her seat, sat down beside Lin Ci, and gave him a bowl of soup.
"How's your dad talking in the afternoon?"
Lin Ci looked at everyone and smiled slowly: "I was going to tell you about it, but since Twilight Xue talked about it, let's talk about it now." ”
"I already know the role of the Kunlun witch corpse and the jade disc. But before that, we have to mention the mysterious island. ”
Hearing the word Mysterious Island, Xiao Jiu also raised his head: "What, Kunlun Jade Ruins, can you still get to that Mysterious Island?" ”
"Well, Xiao Jiu, you have been to the Mysterious Island, you should remember that my father has also been to that island, right?" Lin Ci said.
Xiao Jiu nodded: "Remember, the diary we picked up wasn't written." Your dad took a sample of the native species from the island? ”
"That's right, he took Chiyou's cells with him. Bloodphagomy actually evolved from that sample. My dad took the cell sample and used it to grow a new sample tissue. Hemophage is one of them, and my dad parasitized it into my body, so that Hemophagocytosis lived with me when it was still a cell. ”
Twilight Xue said in a deep voice, "Dr. Su has gone too far!" He didn't tell you about this until you changed, right? ”
Lin Ci shook his head, "He was afraid of scaring me, and it was not for nothing that he would adopt me back then." He was looking for a suitable host for hemophagocytosis and eventually discovered me, because my cells and hemophagogy were the most compatible phase. ”
"After a series of changes, my dad didn't have a chance to talk about it until now, until now......"
"Sounds like a long story...... Chen Hu's expression gradually became solemn.
"It's a long story, it's just that when my dad took Chiyou on the mysterious island, he also took something else." Lin Ci unconsciously lowered his voice, "That's a piece of jade, it's Chi You's record of Kunlun Jade Ruins. ”
The restaurant was silent at first, followed by the sound of inhalation. Alice stood up and speculated, "How. Is there some kind of connection between Chiyou and Kunlun Jade Ruins? ”
"No, there is no connection between them, but Shi Longfei once mentioned that Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were awakened in ancient times! And Kunlun Jade Ruins, according to the information recorded by Chiyou in the Jade Jian, it was made by the Yellow Emperor, so in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Kunlun Jade Ruins is also known as the capital of the Emperor of Heaven. ”
Chen Hu put down his rice bowl and looked shocked: "This is really incredible." ”
"Yes, in that piece of jade, Chi You believes that the Kunlun Jade Ruins do not exist in real space, and it is collected by the Yellow Emperor in another dimension. The space leading to the Kunlun Jade Ruins will be opened every once in a while, but due to the change of the earth's magnetic field, the location of the opening will be different each time. ”
Lin Ci said in a deep voice: "It wasn't until the year before the catastrophe that the observation station in Tibet found that the magnetic field readings in the depths of Tibet were different. The staff thought that it might be a sign that the jade ruin was opening, but when they arrived, the jade ruin had already been closed, leaving only the Kunlun witch corpse and the jade disc. That jade plate, which is recorded in Chiyou's jade slip, is said to be the key to open the space of the jade ruins! ”
