Chapter 581: Experiment Failed
Being a clown is the desire of countless people, and it is also the ideal of countless people.
But Dillett didn't feel that he was in the middle of a great cause, but was once again pitted by his unreliable sub-personality.
And Rorschach, who almost saw the whole thing from beginning to end, was really laughing to death at this time, he had created many monsters and heroes, but he had never seen such a funny guy.
Dillett's inner struggle is not visible to others, but it is not hidden at all for Rorschach, and it is so interesting that he has come up with such an interesting person superpower, and the uncertainty of this world is so interesting.
Rorschach had already determined at this time that without affecting his plan, he would definitely ensure that Dillett would live a long life, otherwise it would not be easy to continue to find such a miserable "protagonist".
"Although it is not easy to kill the clown, this kid has begun to slowly recover his memory, and several sub-personalities have begun to show signs of influencing and merging with each other. I'm afraid that in a few days, he will be able to truly integrate all his abilities, and even I will have to put a lot of effort into cleaning him up at that time, so there should be no problem. ”
After confirming that there was no problem with his experiment, Rorschach ignored the changes on the Gotham side. The Joker and Batman love and kill each other as they want, as long as it doesn't affect their experiments.
As for Harvey Dent, the district attorney in Gotham City, Rorschach had no intention of saving him from the abyss.
Harvey Dent, with his ingenuity, sent a large number of criminals to prison, making the citizens of Gotham City happily call him the Knight of Light. But when Harvey Dent's lover Rachel is killed by the Joker, he is fooled into the darkness by the Joker's words, and becomes another boss in Gotham City, Two-Face.
Such a depravity can only show that Harvey Dent has long been corrupted by the darkness of Gotham City, and will degenerate from a hero to a criminal if he is stimulated at the slightest moment.
Gotham is a cursed land, and no one but Batman can resist this dark erosion. This kind of desperate place, as those villains say, Gotham City has long since decayed, and the only way to save the city is to destroy it.
"It's easy not to be a savior. Since the situation on Gotham's side is stable, it is better to go and see the situation of the harem king. ”
Rorschach disappeared into the darkness of Gotham City, and instantly shuttled through space to the location of the South China Sea.
In this place, there is a deserted island that is called purgatory. And this is also the place where Oliver Quinn was reborn from Nirvana to a superhero.
Nearly two months have passed since the yacht crashed, and Oliver Quinn drifted to Purgatory Island in a lifeboat, thinking that it was just a deserted island, and that he was going to become a man at the top of the food chain like Bei Ye.
As a result, within two days, Oliver Quinn found himself not in the wilderness survival crew, but in a battle royale movie.
A Chinese man named Yao Fei appeared in front of him with a hood and a bow and arrow. In this first meeting, the two did not have to sympathize with each other, but Oliver Quinn was shot by Yao Fei with an arrow, which directly pierced the shoulder.
The most painful feeling Oliver Quinn has ever endured in his life is probably when he was vaccinated, and now he is pierced by an arrow, which is almost killing him.
At that time, Robert Quinn, who had been quietly lurking nearby to protect his son, almost wanted to pounce and kill Yao Fei. After being slaughtered and parasitized, Robert Quinn now has the power to crush ordinary humans.
Seeing his son injured, how could he stand idly by.
It's just that he has accepted the memories given by Rorschach and knows that this catastrophe is something his son must experience, and Oliver Quinn also has a symbiote parasitic on his body, so this injury is not fatal.
Holding back the pain, Robert Quinn could only watch as Yao Fei took Oliver Quinn to the cave.
Yao Fei is not a murderer, nor is he a bad eye to shoot Oliver Quinn like a wild boar. It's just that Yao Fei has been avoiding the pursuit of others on this Purgatory Island, and when he saw Oliver Quinn standing on the shore stupidly, he thought that he was also the one who chased and killed him, so he gave him an arrow.
Later, knowing that he had made a mistake, Yao Fei took Oliver Quinn to the cave where he was hiding, and then gave him medicinal herbs to heal his injuries.
Then he entered a plot that boasted about traditional Chinese medicine, Yao Fei's private configuration of herbs is simply omnipotent, not only able to treat external injuries, but also to fight infection, detoxification, etc., anyway, the effect is as good as an elixir.
Oliver Quinn's penetrating injury, coupled with the fact that the arrows were not sterilized, and the clothes on his body were all kinds of bacteria, so he should wait to die on a desert island. I just relied on this herb to recover, and there was no sequelae at all.
When Rorschach came to Purgatory Island, he took some of Yao Fei's herbs to study, this thing seems to be something unique to Purgatory Island, and he has never even seen it in the Marvel Universe.
"It's an amazing plant." Rorschach sighed.
"By the way, what's going on with Oliver?" Rorschach asked Robert Quinn. He wondered if the Green Arrow's life experience would be different if he intervened.
"He was caught by those mercenaries, Oliver is strong, I didn't expect him to be able to hold out under torture." Robert Quinn said to Rorschach.
Rorschach recalled the plot for a while, Yao Fei belonged to the party being hunted down, his identity was special, and the mercenaries needed to capture him alive and force him to do something he didn't want to do. But on this small island, Yao Fei is simply elusive, and he won't be able to find it at all for a while.
But when Yao Fei brought Oliver Quinn's oil bottle, his whereabouts were exposed. In the end, Oliver was arrested by the mercenaries and tortured to find out Yao Fei's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, this gentleman gritted his teeth and held on, without revealing half a word about Yao Fei's whereabouts.
"Oliver, he's finally grown up. I'm so glad to see this day. Robert Quinn said with moist eyes.
"Since everything is going according to its original fate, then there is no problem. These days, you come with me, I need your help me to do an experiment. Rorschach said to Robert Quinn.
This time he came to Purgatory Island, Rorschach didn't just come to see the play, but more importantly, he needed Robert Quinn and his symbiote to help complete the experiment.
The information he had obtained from the octopus kraken had led Rorschach to concoct the first generation of God's Blood Elixir. This agent does have the power to break through genetic blockade and allow human cells to multiply indefinitely.
But this kind of proliferation is like a cancer cell, and the powerful side effects can completely destroy people or turn them into monsters. It seems that human genes are not suitable for modification by the blood of the gods, and only creatures like octopuses can adapt to the power of the blood of the gods.
And the appearance of Dillett made Rorschach find another direction. For ordinary people, the body and consciousness are closely integrated, but for Rorschach, the soul is real and can exist apart from the body.
There are many topics about the soul in Kama Taj, and Rorschach has experienced the feeling of being out of the body firsthand. Therefore, the blood of the gods does not necessarily have to act on the body, but may act on the soul first, creating an immortal soul and achieving an alternative immortality.
It's like a fifth-level mutant apocalypse, relying on constantly taking away other people's bodies, gaining various superpowers, and constantly extending his lifespan. His soul is almost immortal, and he can change his body at will.
It's just that this kind of immortality still has limitations, and the soul of the apocalypse still needs to be attached to the body to exist, and after being cut off by Rorschach, it becomes a thing to be slaughtered.
After this period of observation and adjustment, Rorschach successfully created the second generation of God's Blood based on Dillet's characteristics. He plans to use Robert Quinn as an experiment to test the effect.
Robert Quinn is very old, his hair is gray, and he can't even see much black in his beard. Even if he was possessed by slaughter, it only gave him great strength and regenerative ability, but it did not restore him to his youth.
This state of very old soul and body can be used as an experiment for Rorschach, as long as the blood of God can play a little role, there will be very obvious signs in Robert Quinn. On the other hand, if Rorschach had asked a young man to do the experiment, it would have been difficult to observe the true effect of the potion.
Robert Quinn didn't know what experiment Rorschach wanted to do or what the danger would be, but he knew he had no room to refuse. These days, he already knows very well how powerful it is to parasitize on himself and slaughter.
Don't look at those mercenaries chasing Yao Fei, the real king of soldiers, like a lost dog, as long as Robert Quinn is willing, he can kill all those hundreds of mercenaries within half an hour with the power of slaughter.
And such a powerful symbiote is just something that Rorschach gave away casually, and these symbiotes are as obedient as Erha in front of Rorschach, and they don't dare to resist at all.
Once, Robert Quinn thought that the criminals in Star City were a problem that he could not solve in his life, but now he understands that a single Star City is too small. There are even more terrifying forces in this world, like natural disasters that cannot be resisted.
Therefore, Rorschach offered to let Robert Quinn assist in the experiment, and he did not hesitate to follow.
Rorschach found a hillside and dug a cave into the dirt with the Staff of the Creator. The surrounding walls are so flat that they look like they have been run over by a road roller.
Rorschach didn't give Robert Quinn much time to sigh, handed him a tube of second-generation god's blood and said, "Drink it." ”
Robert Quinn didn't hesitate, opened the lid and drank the slightly red potion into his stomach. The expected sharp pain did not appear, but instead began to grow a warm current in the stomach, which began to melt into the limbs.
It's like soaking in a hot spring in winter, and it's very comfortable.
Rorschach summoned the Creator's Staff, and the metal scepter split into dozens of pieces, circling and flying around Robert Quinn, beginning to record the changes in his body from all angles.
The power of God's blood to transform the body is slowly being released, allowing Robert Quinn's aging body to regain its youthful vitality. The loose skin is re-tightened, the muscles are re-full, the cloudy eyes are cleared again, and even the spinal cord is renewed...... Robert Quinn went from being a fifty or sixty-year-old man back to a thirty-year-old role of youth.
Seeing this, there was no surprise on Rorschach's face, because this was just the beginning. After Robert Quinn's body returned to a youthful state, the medicinal power of God's blood only exerted a tenth-of effect.
If the recipe is followed, the remaining potion will continue to change Robert Quinn's genes until the gene chain collapses, turning him into a monster completely. But this time, after Rorschach adjusted the formula, the remaining medicinal power did not modify his body, but began to enter his brain, constantly stimulating the pineal gland, brain cells and other parts, and began to rapidly improve Robert Quinn's intelligence.
At the same time, Rorschach was not idle, and drew a rune with an iron-blooded scarlet aura with both hands and entered Robert Quinn's eyebrows.
"Let go of your resistance and become my believer." Rorschach's voice rang out directly in Robert Quinn's consciousness.
This is a modified version of the Dark Ritual, and the Ancient One relied on the original ritual to absorb the power of the Dark Plane and gain immortality. However, this ritual requires great self-control, and ordinary people are often influenced by the dark forces to become Dormammu's puppets.
The modified Dark Ritual changes the object of energy absorption to Rorschach, transforming the Flame Source Energy to strengthen itself.
Rorschach had Robert Quinn use this modified version of the Dark Ritual in order to have complete control over him, from body and mind to soul. Only in this way can the strengthening effect of the blood of the gods on the soul be clearly detected.
Robert Quinn naturally would not refuse, and soon became a believer of Rorschach, risking Rorschach with all his heart and unreserved.
In the process, Rorschach also used the power of the Dark Ritual to try to channel the energy of the blood of God to transform Robert Quinn's soul. A tearing pain came from his brain, causing Robert Quinn to scream.
But no matter how much he struggled, he could not escape the torment of this torture. It's like thousands of knives cutting his head into pieces and then regluing them with hot wax.
The process seemed to Robert Quinn to be almost as long as a world, but in reality it was less than a minute.
At the end of the experiment, the full power of the blood of the gods was exhausted, and Robert Quinn got up from the ground covered in sweat. Although he had gone through an extremely painful ordeal, he felt a lightness in his body and an incomparably clear mind, even when he was young, he had never felt so powerful.
"Could it be that the experiment was successful?" Robert Quinn said excitedly.
He was originally thinking of death, but now he has been reborn, which makes him extremely happy.
However, Rorschach shook his head and said, "No, failed. While I was able to strengthen your soul with the blood of the gods and rejuvenate you, the change was one-off.
"You've developed antibodies to the power of the blood of the gods, and it's impossible to do a second boost. In other words, you are only back to the peak of your body at the age of thirty, but you have not gained eternal life, and you will still die of old age in a few decades. ”
What Rorschach wants is eternal life, and the power of this second-generation god's blood only extends the lifespan of people by decades, and it cannot be stacked at one time, so it is undoubtedly a failure. But failure is the mother of success, and Rorschach feels that he is getting closer and closer to the secret of eternal life.
