An hour later, in a small laboratory at He Xiaohong's institute.

"Thanks to your previous help, I was able to keep my job." He Xiaohong handed Chen Mu a glass of water and continued, "During this time, my research has made new progress, and in order to facilitate my research work, an independent laboratory has been assigned to me at the upper level. ”

Chen Mu took the water cup with both hands and said congratulations.

"By the way, what did you say in the communicator that it had something to do with strange particles?" He Xiaohong said straight to the point.

"Here's the thing......" Chen Mu briefly recounted the incident.

"In other words, you suspect that the particles that have been silent in your body for a while are likely to be the culprit that caused your demon seed to fail." He Xiaohong concluded.

Chen Mu nodded and said, "I haven't finally confirmed it, so I asked you to help." ”

"No problem, if your suspicions are correct, then I will be very responsible. It just so happens that my research has made new progress during this time, so I'll do a full body examination for you first. ”

Chen Mu nodded again and said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Hong." ”

"Be polite to me."

After He Xiaohong finished speaking, she did not delay at all, and quickly began to prepare for the examination.

After half a ring, Chen Mu lay down in a cylindrical instrument. The instrument was slowly turning, and every second a different ray scanned over him, and outside the cylindrical instrument, a clear three-dimensional humanoid energy projection map was slowly being generated.

This is a scan of the energy in Chen Mu's body.

After a pause, He Xiaohong found the location of the demon seed in Chen Mu's body, and then zoomed in and carefully observed.

"The demon seed in your body is full of energy, and it is a relatively high-quality demon seed." He Xiaohong explained to Chen Mu while inspecting.

"The energy path is very smooth when it flows through the demon seed, and there is no obstruction."

"The color of the energy in the demon seed is already the same as the color of the energy in your body, which means that the demon seed has perfectly adapted to your body, and it stands to reason that it should take effect."

"Hey, what does your demon seed seem to be attached to?"

He Xiaohong skillfully manipulated the projection, magnifying one of the points to the highest multiple.

"Ah, that's right." He Xiaohong exclaimed, "It's those strange particles, they're seeping into the demon seed." ”

Chen Mu was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Are those strange particles corrupting my demon seed?" ”

"No," He Xiaohong said in a strange tone, "It looks more like the demon seed is devouring those strange particles, more precisely, the two of them are merging with each other." ”

What???

......

"What I'm going to tell you next is some of the conjectures I have summarized during my research during this time."

When Chen Mu came out of the instrument, He Xiaohong organized his words and began to speak.

"Does this conjecture have anything to do with my current situation?" Chen Mu was in a very anxious mood now, knowing that this was not only a matter of losing the first-level demon seed, but also related to whether he would continue to fail after transplanting other demon seeds in the future. Since listening to Professor Shi's explanation, he has a deep understanding of the importance of demon seeds.

"There is a possibility of this, I know you are anxious now, but you listen to me patiently first, and you have to keep a cool head to judge." He Xiaohong said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Chen Mu felt that He Xiaohong was reasonable, so he quickly took a few deep breaths, then nodded, signaling He Xiaohong to start explaining.

"When I accidentally came up with this strange particle, because of some of its properties, I thought I had discovered a new dark particle by mistake. It wasn't until I looked deeper for a while that I was convinced that I was wrong, that it wasn't one of the elements at all. ”

"I think it's probably a microbe, a microorganism at the quantum realm level. When they gather to a certain extent, they appear like dark particles, scattered as if they have disappeared, so when you 'fight' with them, you can't find them by all means, because it is so small. ”

"Then why is it that after I inhale it, I can observe it for a short period of time?" After Chen Mu calmed down, he had already regained his ability to think.

"It's probably because it was merging with the energy in your body at the time, just like we can see it clinging to your demon seed now." He Xiaohong said. "Microorganisms are also living beings, do you know what is the nature of living organisms?"

"It's Evolution"

"Remember when you were able to attract it once you released energy, and then it passed through your body as the energy will be inexplicably reduced, I suspect that this microorganism evolved from the energy of the Awakened."

"When I accidentally created this microorganism, it attached itself to me for the first time. Since I wasn't an Awakened One, it could only absorb my biological energy, so I became nervous during that time. The rest of the day I have been plagued by it and lived in seclusion, so I rarely came into contact with other people, and you were the first awakened one I came into contact with and released energy around me. ”

"It has its eye on you when it finds out that you have a higher level of energy than me, but according to the habits of the creature, it should only 'eat' you and not lurk on you like it does now, it seems that you have some secrets in you that I don't know."

He Xiaohong said that Chen Mu's expression was slightly unnatural, thinking of the bad experience before, could it be because of the medicine that caused him to awaken?

"Well, these are my conjectures, and I'm not 100% sure." He Xiaohong didn't notice the unnaturalness on Chen Mu's face and added.

"If your conjecture is correct, if you don't attract it with a higher level of energy, it will leave my body." Chen Mu said hopefully.

"I'm sorry, but that's unlikely." He Xiaohong said apologetically.

"Why?" Chen Mu's heart was cold, and he was puzzled.

"Like I said, under normal circumstances, it should return to my body after absorbing the energy from you. But for some reason, it's stuck in your body now, so to speak, you've blocked the gun for me. ”

"Now this microbe has evolved again, and it's going on in your body, so it's already deeply branded on you. To put it another way, it's no longer the original 'it', it's become a part of your body. He Xiaohong said a little tongue-twisted.

"What?" Chen Mu felt that his head was empty, and his heart was filled with bitterness, could it be that my dream of becoming a good demon hunter was about to be shattered???

After He Xiaohong saw Chen Mu's expression, he hurriedly added: "Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

This sentence brought Chen Mu back to his senses from his bitterness, and he asked eagerly, "Sister Hong, what does this mean." ”

"As I said, evolution is the nature of living organisms, and since it has become a part of you, it stands to reason that it will not hinder your evolutionary path, and if it hinders you, it actually hinders itself."

"The strengthening of the awakened is actually a kind of evolution." He Xiaohong's words made Chen Mu's eyes a little brighter.
