Chapter 156 On Tomie's Research Direction and Application Methods
"Rat? You actually called me a rat?!!!"
Tomie looked at him in disbelief, her face was gloomy for a moment, and then suddenly became pitiful. She looked at others with accusation and expectation in her eyes.
"He's bullying a girl like me! Aren't you guys, a bunch of grown men, going to do anything about it?"
The others all looked like they were waiting to see the show, and obviously had no intention of intervening.
Zhang Molan sneered again, folded his arms, and made lazy gestures before speaking.
"Don't you see what kind of person you are? Look at the filthy smell on you. Your pretentious and delicate appearance is truly disgusting."
Tomie was once again irritated by his words and started to curse at him directly, but the words he kept saying were dirty, stinky man, disgusting trash and so on. It was obvious that he was not on the same level as Zhang Molan, whose words were heart-wrenching.
After knowing each other for so long, this is the first time that Zhang Qiling has seen Zhang Molan criticize someone so fiercely.
When Hei Xia Zi first came to their house, Zhang Qiling thought that these two talkative chatterboxes would clash with each other, dislike each other, and then have three small quarrels a day and a big quarrel every two days.
Unexpectedly, there was no spark between the two of them. Perhaps due to some inexplicable premonition of crisis, Hei Xia Zi behaved unusually obediently in front of Zhang Molan, and his behavior was completely different from that in front of other people.
Instead, he was the one who often got impatient and provoked Zhang Benshan, the poor honest child, which often made Zhang Benshan feel aggrieved and ask the clan leader Zhang Qiling to take charge of the matter for him.
For this reason, Zhang Qiling felt that he had inexplicably gained an extra sandbag to resist beatings. He put the kung fu skills that Zhang Molan taught him into practice on Hei Xia Zi in no time. His learning efficiency was amazing.
While Zhang Molan and Tomie were arguing with each other, Zhang Moyu whispered Tomie's origin and abilities, emphasizing her charm that could kill ordinary people, and her ability to be reborn with a drop of blood, a vitality more tenacious than that of a cockroach.
The Zhang family had seen more and accepted this well, but Xie Yuchen was different.
The miraculous effects of the Tianchi Yaoyu just now made him feel unreal. Now there was another one that could be reborn with a drop of blood, as well as the earlier transformed Qilin and the materialized Zhu Jiuyin... He suddenly began to doubt the world.
Could the world he'd lived in for the past twenty years be fake? Why did it feel like the world had become increasingly fantastical since he'd been involved with these people?
What he experienced this year was more exciting than what he had experienced in the past twenty years.
Coming back to his senses, Xie Yuchen inadvertently met Tomie's gaze again and subconsciously took a step back. Now he was the only ordinary person here, so he had to be alert.
After hearing Zhang Moyu's description, Zhang Zhiyi and Zhang Zhixuan looked at Tomie with burning eyes, with a hint of impulsive emotion eager to try.
Zhang Qiling noticed the two people's passionate gazes and was a little worried about their condition, so he couldn't help but call out their names.
He thought of what Zhang Benling had said before about the origin of the bronze gate. One of the words was that if the person guarding the bronze gate showed any unusual behavior after leaving, he would be killed on the spot.
This shows that this evil god has the potential to bewitch the Zhang family.
In fact, Zhang Qiling was overthinking it.
Most members of the Zhang family are good at fortune-telling and generally have a long-term vision.
As long as the blood concentration is high, one can be completely immune to Tomie's level of charm.
The clan leader who gave the order at the beginning was only worried about the gradual degeneration of his bloodline and that one day his incompetent descendants would be unknowingly deceived by the evil god, so he just gave a reminder a few hundred years in advance.
Zhang Qiling's sudden voice turned the attention of the others to Zhang Zhiyi and Zhang Zhixuan.
Zhang Zhixuan, who was more perceptive, instantly understood the worry hidden under Zhang Qiling's expressionless face. He blinked innocently, then stared at Tomie and spoke thoughtfully.
“I wonder if it’s edible?”
As soon as these words came out, the other people's eyes turned strange when they looked at Zhang Zhixuan, as if they were looking at a pervert.
Even Zhang Molan, who was concentrating on arguing with Tomie, couldn't help but stopped arguing with a twitch of his mouth.
Zhang Zhixuan didn't notice the gazes of the crowd and continued to speak.
“Since it has such a strong regenerative ability, it would be a shame not to make good use of it.
Keeping pets is always very expensive. We have two tigers in our house, and the three little ones will grow up soon. There are also many poisonous insects in the back mountain that need meat to feed. Maybe we will raise some other things in the future.
If we could find a way to limit this evil god's infinite regeneration ability, wouldn't it be the perfect meal?"
After a pause, he continued.
"It seems difficult to limit its ability, but no matter how strong its infinite regeneration ability is, it has to be based on the vitality of the cells.
I'm curious, if the meat is cooked, can it still be split?
If it can regain its activity after being cooked, what if it is made finer and more delicate, further destroying the cell structure?
Also, will its activity and resilience be affected by high and low temperatures? If it experiences strong acid or alkaline environments, can it survive? I heard there's something called nuclear radiation, which can cause organisms that absorb too much to mutate. So, will it turn into a monster after being exposed to nuclear radiation, or will it remain the same?
At this moment, Zhang Zhixuan seemed to have turned into a curious baby. All kinds of wonderful questions kept popping up in his mind, making him feel excited and a little dizzy.
After hearing his explanation, the other people also realized that he didn't want to taste everything he saw, and that he didn't take risks to eat without risking his life, so they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Zhiyi's idea was similar to Zhang Zhixuan's, but Zhang Zhixuan wanted to study Tomie's regenerative ability, while Zhang Zhiyi was more interested in Tomie's charm, so he followed up on this topic and spoke with equal enthusiasm.
"Elder, you said this evil deity can charm men into liking her and women into disliking her. It can also amplify emotions like curiosity, exploration, fascination, and fear of the opposite sex, as well as rejection and disgust of the same sex.
I am a little curious. If a man, whose sexual orientation is also male, meets this evil god, will he be obsessed with her or disgusted with her?
On the other hand, if it is a woman who likes women, what is her attitude towards this evil god?
Or, let's say someone has gender identity disorder or is delusional. What would happen if she met a woman who thinks she is a man, or a man who thinks he is a woman?
Are the two differences in the objects of this ability's release based on physical gender or spiritual gender orientation? What if she encounters a hermaphrodite, an asexual, or a eunuch?
The questions these two people asked were very insightful. Xie Yuchen was a little stunned by the amazing train of thought of these two members of the Zhang family. However, the thoughts of the other three members of the Zhang family present were strangely connected with theirs.
Zhang Moyu looked thoughtfully at Tomie, who was almost scolded to tears by Zhang Molan and huddled at the bottom of the pit, seemingly autistic but actually cursing in a very low voice. Some inappropriate thoughts popped up in his mind.
"I remember that Tomie seemed to be flammable, and it would catch fire if it touched a little flame.
If this is calculated properly, placed in a container, and the burning state of the flame is controlled so that its growth rate matches the burning speed of the flame, wouldn't it be possible to obtain an eternal lamp that burns forever?"
That is, by then, this eternal lamp might emit cursing sounds from time to time. If it is really researched and the real clan land is established, hanging this thing in the corridor of the cemetery would be a great wonder.
Zhang Molan looked at Tomie with ill intentions, not knowing whether she had been stimulated by something during this period of time outside, and made such a particularly inhumane suggestion.
"This thing shouldn't starve or get tired, right? I think it can work 24 hours a day and still maintain high efficiency. Isn't it a perfect worker?
No food, no accommodation, no insurance, no money, 007 works all year round, even if you can't hold on and die, it doesn't matter.
If one Tomie falls, there will be thousands more Tomie!"
As everyone knows, evil gods have no human rights. Zhang Molan touched his conscience and found it was bright red and dancing happily.
