Chapter 244: Scientific Conjecture
Through talking with Lin Qiu and others, Susan finally became convinced that there really were immortal humans in this world.
In a sense, their vitality even far surpassed that of the Templars, and when humans entered the Templars, they simply stopped growing in age, and not growing old did not mean that they would not die, and when a Templar was cut off or stabbed through the heart, he would die as well.
How the Assassins of the Crows are different.
Their tenacious vitality is both disgusting and terrifying. That's why the Runaway Soldier decided that his comrades couldn't win - you could never defeat an enemy who didn't have the concept of death, especially since the Crow's Assassins lived not on immortality per se, but on their ghostly assassination skills.
"Those people are dead. The deserter's voice was slumped.
The fortunate thing in the misfortune was that they successfully found Lin Qiu and the others, which at least ensured that he would not die in vain like his predecessors.
Shadow welcomed Susan's arrival.
"Look at you, this little girl talks a lot more than you do!" Shadow smiled as she sat on the floor and let Susan treat the wound on his right foot. Susan tells him that if he takes care of the venom from his wound and recuperates for half a night, Shadow will be able to return to the fight—provided he can endure the unbearable pain.
Susan was mentally prepared to cry out in pain when Ying was treating her wounds, but Ying didn't even frown, instead chatting and laughing with Lin Qiu as if no one was around. Ying had a hunch that this battle would be long, so he accepted Lin Qiu's plan B instead.
Receive emergency treatment from Susan, and with Susan's consent, you can go back to the battlefield.
Lin Qiu always had a lot of plans.
Plan A was met with fierce opposition from the Shadow, and Plan B was approved. In fact, Lin Qiu also had Plan C in mind when he proposed Plan B, although he was a little awkward, but if this stubborn old man was going to rush to the battlefield again, he would definitely take Plan C - knock him out with one punch, and then forcibly take him away from the battlefield.
He was serious.
"What's the matter with this person?" Lin Qiu felt that since Ying had made a compromise, he would let the other party speak as fast as he could, so he turned his gaze to the strange man who had been spreading negative energy since he arrived here.
"Oh, he's a deserter we've caught, and it's useless now, are you going to kill him?" asked Julius nonchalantly.
"You...... What do you want to do?"
As soon as he heard that his life was at stake, the deserter immediately became nervous.
"Forget it. Lin Qiu shrugged.
The second thing they could be sure of so far was that the only Crow Assassins sent to assassinate them were the two people he swept into the air, otherwise they had been sitting on the ground for so long, and no wild Assassins had jumped out to attack them in such a porous situation, indicating that at least they could relax a little now.
As a result, Lin Qiu came up with a bold inference: "Maybe there are only 6 assassins in the Crows, and they act in units of 2 people, and the targets happen to be Albert, Richard, and Sophia. ”
"It's possible. Shadow touched his beard and said.
Obviously, the other party didn't expect Lin Qiu and the others to appear in the palace by mistake, otherwise even if he escorted Richard, they would still be able to succeed.
Hearing the conversation of several people, Susan, who had been silent, spoke: "Wait a minute, what are you talking about rebirth?"
"Regenerative ......"
Lin Qiu turned to him: "I cut off the arm of an assassin before, and then that arm was re-spliced back into his body as if it had its own eyes. He knew it might be difficult to understand, but what he said was true, and they seemed to be able to control every part of their body in some deliberate way.
Susan frowned.
"Doctor, I want to disturb you, but are you in the wrong place?" Seeing this, Shadow pointed to the knife in Susan's hand in shock. Before connecting Shadow's broken hamstrings, Susan must first remove the part of his venom that caused necrosis for him. Shadow admits that he doesn't know anything about medicine, but he guesses that a cut in the instep of his foot should not be included in dealing with necrosis for him.
"Oh, sorry, I got distracted. ”
"Concentrate on it, can you get distracted by this kind of thing?"
"No, something suddenly came to my mind. Susan was once again in deep thought, and when she was confronted with something of interest, she had the gift of falling into contemplation at any time and on any occasion.
This time, she reached directly at Shadow's left foot.
Lin Qiu's description of the situation was not much different from what she had imagined, and she had indeed seen a similar scene somewhere.
Subject.
After habitually cutting down again, she suddenly recalled the scene at that time.
The so-called test subjects refer to the monsters that have been experimented, and the research institute has not yet lost its heart to the point of passing the human experimentation bill, and their ideas are usually put into the monster cubs cultivated by the research institute's life science department first. She and Jane's experiments with immortality did hit a plateau, but their efforts were not for nothing, but produced some bizarre by-products.
One of them is a potion that enhances the ability to recover.
The formula written down by Jane is problematic, but at least the direction is correct.
However, the potion was not put into practice because of its strong side effects, when they applied the potion to an injured rodent monster, the monster's festering wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, but at the same time, the potion made the monster manic and aggressive.
When they put the tooth-biting monster back into its nest, it quickly tore into its own kind. Jane and Susan had to isolate them for nuanced observation.
The results of the observations were not encouraging.
The side effects of the potion seemed to be permanent, and they couldn't think of any way to get rid of it.
"So these Frankensteins were actually researched by you?" Lin Qiu, Shadow, and Julius all turned their heads and stared at Susan with a wary gaze, while Shadow withdrew her left leg - she left three cuts in Shadow's left leg intact as Susan recounted the results of their experiment.
"Of course not!"
Susan flatly denied: "Although that potion can quickly heal wounds, it is far from achieving the effect of resurrecting the dead! I mean if you increase the effectiveness of that potion dozens of times, it should be able to achieve the effect you described." ”
Of course, this is just a scientific speculation.
First of all, increasing the efficacy of the medicine dozens of times is not something she can achieve at this stage.
"And what do you mean ......?"
"I mean, if you can help me extract the blood of those assassins, I might be able to find a way to stop them from regenerating!"
Susan said with a twinkle in her eyes.
