"Shirley Lu, why are you up?" Lux looked at the laughing owner and said in surprise.

Then he quickly got up from the sofa, walked quickly to Shirley Lu's side, and helped Shirley Lu, who was still very weak and looked like she had just recovered from a serious illness, to the sofa.

"How does it feel?" Zhong Tu looked at Shirley Lu, who was sitting down, and asked.

"It doesn't feel worse than now." Shirley Lou sighed.

Then he looked up at the blood samples and boxes in the living room, and wondered, "What are you guys doing here?" ”

"Study blood samples, map your genes, and find the source of the mysterious power in your body." Regarding this, Zhong Tu did not hide Shirley Lu, and directly stated his purpose.

"The source of the mysterious power within me. Do you mean type V infection? Shirley Lou and Lux looked at each other and asked in confusion.

"No, I'm talking about the mysterious power that belongs exclusively to your Nome family, called the 'Wind Guardians'." Zhong Tu shook his head.

"What's that?" Lux, who didn't know what the Wind Guardian meant, was surprised.

"Guardian of the Wind...... Does that power really exist? Similarly, Shirley Lu was very skeptical.

Although she is now almost convinced that she may be the descendant of the sister of the heroine of the legend of Zero, she still can't believe that there is any mysterious power in the world.

She is not a child, and she has long lost her so-called illusions.

Besides, what age is it now? Age of Cosmonautic! Human beings can travel the universe, what is there to pay attention to in the mystical forces?

It doesn't improve lives, and it can't be used to enhance technology. Not to mention, if there really is such a mysterious power, how can humans not study it? Not to mention others, it is impossible for Mao Noem, who is a researcher himself, to let it go.

But what about reality? Mao Nome went to study type V infection, but he didn't study any mysterious powers at all.

"And before Lux and me, did you meet a human from another world?" Zhong Tu smiled, didn't care about Shirley Lu's attitude, and said softly.

"Uh...... Unless the person concerned says it himself, how can others know about it. "Shirley Lu didn't have a good air.

"That's the truth. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it's just that you may not know it, and you haven't touched it. ”

"Maybe you're right, but what's the use?" Shirley Lu glanced at her lips and said with a noncommittal attitude.

"Maybe it could save your life." Zhong Tu replied.

"Huh? What did you say? You repeat?! Shirley Lu was shocked and asked urgently.

"Maybe it could save your life." Zhong Tu repeated.

"Really?"

"Well, wait a minute, what do you mean by help? Did something happen to Shirley Lu? Why is it on the topic of saving lives? On the side, Lux, who had been listening, interrupted the two of them and asked with a serious and worried face.

“…… It's nothing, it's just that I have an incurable disease and may be dying. Zhong Tu and Shirley Lu fell silent together, and finally Sherry Lu herself answered.

Although it looks a little pretentious and free on the surface, it can't hide the ink and faint self-deprecation in the tone.

"Huh? What's going on? Lux asked in a low voice.

"Oh, that's it, don't ask." Because of the relationship with Grace, Shirley Lu, who suddenly felt irritable in her heart, waved her hand and interrupted impatiently.

Lux didn't get angry, just watched her quiet down.

As an 'empathetic' girl, how could she not see Shirley Lu's reluctant attitude? Without further questioning, she quietly acted as her listener, listening to the next of the two people.

"Zhong Tu, let's go on." Shirley Lu didn't pay attention to Lux anymore and looked at Zhong Tu urgently.

"The situation in your body is like this now, the virus of type V infection has spread in your body and invaded the brain, if you don't suppress it with drugs, I believe that it will not take a year and a half for your brain to be completely invaded by the virus, the cells will mutate, and you will die." Zhong Tu nodded, and explained in a slow voice, "Although I have a way to stop the virus in your body from spreading further, I can't make your mutated cells recover, and this will affect you after a long time." So I wondered if there was a way to deal with your problems in other ways. ”

"That kind of power...... "Shirley Lu muttered to herself.

"Yes. The power of the Wind Guardian. It comes from your bloodline, the power in your genes, if you can activate it, even if I don't do it, you should be able to resist the invasion of type V infection and thus escape this fate. ”

"How sure are you about that?" Shirley Lu pondered for a moment, and Masa asked.

"Not sure." Zhong Tu shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Shirley Lu frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Because all this is just my imagination, the specific implementation method, activation method and success rate estimation have not yet begun, so everything is still in theory, and I need to wait a little longer before I can really enter the specific implementation stage."

"How long will that take?"

"It depends. It can be as short as three to five days, but not more than a week. ”

"Well, I thought it would take years." Shirley Lu let out a long sigh of relief.

A week is fine, if it is a year and a half, then she might as well go to the hospital for treatment, maybe two more years to live.

"Huh." Zhong Tu smiled, then flipped his palm, took out a ball of ultra-micro machines the size of a tennis ball, and threw it to Shirley Lu.

"Swallow it."

"What is this?" Sherry Lou picked up the shimmering metallic ball and wondered.

But she didn't doubt whether this thing could be eaten, and she didn't know whether to say that she had a big heart or something.

"Ultra-micro machines. It's just for medical purposes. It can build a barrier in your body to temporarily isolate the diseased cells and the type V virus in your body from other cells and prevent the disease from spreading. ”

"I see."

Immediately, without hesitation, Sherry Lu raised her head and put the metal ball in her hand into her mouth—and suddenly, the metal ball disintegrated, turning into a puff of silver-gray smoke, which poured down Sherry Lu's open mouth into her throat, touched the flesh wall, and melted into the flesh.

Shirley Lou clicked her mouth, savoring the taste of the ultra-micro machine.

"It's completely tasteless."

Hearing this, Zhong Tu looked at her funny, shook his head, got up and walked to her.

"What are you going to do?" Shirley Lu asked, looking at Zhong Tu, who was close at hand.

"Draw blood for follow-up research." Zhong Tu said as he took out his equipment and began to draw blood.

"Is one tube enough? Do you need to smoke a few more tubes? Shirley Lu reminded.

"That's not in a hurry, anyway, with a big living person like you, you can replenish it at any time." Zhong Tu said with a smile.

"That's right."

Lux laughed along, then fell silent and sang a cheerful song from the world of Macross World......
