Chapter 697 Narcissus
Lianwei Zhongyu branch, inside the main office.
The female assistant stood in front of Yang Ling. She bowed slightly and then handed over a translated telegram from the headquarters.
"Miss, the Jibei government's personnel may have already been dispatched to search for lost items, and Lianwei Zhongyu must also be involved. Therefore, headquarters also hopes that before our second group of personnel arrives, we will activate the backup plan and take action first. This matter will be led by you, Miss."
Yang Ling took the telegram, looked at it, and said, "But launching the plan requires a lot of high-energy nutrients. Are our previous reserves enough?"
The female assistant said, "We've already prepared it. Although the processing bureau has tightened the blockade and confiscated some of it under the pretext of something, we prepared it in advance to deal with the review. Before that, the company had already stored enough for our operation."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Yang Ling, as if waiting for her to give a positive response.
Lamb whispered, "I'll do as planned."
The female assistant said nothing more, bowed to her again, walked forward and took the telegram from her hand, then left with the same expression as when she came.
After she left, Yang Ling came to the desk, opened a drawer, took out a box of medicine, and then walked into the elevator set up just for her.
She waited for the elevator to descend floor by floor, and finally arrived at the underground hall. She walked out, and the sound of her footsteps was very clear in this empty and dim underground space.
She walked all the way to the porcelain jar that only held the active consciousness embryo. She pointed at the boundary and waited for a while. Immediately, a large amount of high-energy nutrient solution that flashed with fluorescent light flowed out from the blood vessels connected to the jar and was then injected into it.
Although this active consciousness body is only an embryo, after being modulated, it can be ripened with a large amount of high-energy nutrient solution. Although it is impossible to achieve a complete body, it can be supplemented by another means, so that it can reach the combat effectiveness that an active consciousness body should have.
Although this will weaken the vitality and potential of the active consciousness, the purpose of the head office is for the relics. Compared with the third-level relics, the cost of an active consciousness is certainly worth it.
Yang Ling took out the box of medicine and opened it. She took out a thumb-sized red pill from it and swallowed it. After only a few seconds, she felt dizzy, her breathing became rapid, and all kinds of strange noises began to roll in her ears.
A strange scene appeared before her eyes. At that moment, the huge porcelain jar in front of her seemed to disappear. Inside it seemed to be a young fish without scales but with smooth skin and limbs. It was now raising its conical head and staring at her. But after a moment, the scene quickly disappeared, and everything returned to its previous state.
However, this spiritual resonance made her feel a strong urge to vomit. She covered her mouth, took a few steps forward, and then put her hand on the porcelain jar.
As more high-energy nutrient solution was pumped in, light slowly began to appear from the jar. After an unknown amount of time, some movement was heard from inside the porcelain jar, and then a strange organism was seen slowly crawling out from the opening above.
At first glance, this organism looks like a fish, almost three meters long from head to tail, with slender but powerful limbs under its belly. Its head is slightly smaller than its body, and it has concave ear holes on both sides. The overall shape is streamlined, with a smooth surface, a hard texture, a blue-black color, and a flowing luster.
As it took a deep breath, a soft neon-like glow flickered from its skin. After it emerged, it was still connected to the veins that transported high-energy nutrients, but with a slight shake, it severed them. Then, it lightly and silently climbed down the wall of the porcelain jar.
Yang Ling still had her eyes closed at this time, as if the effect of the medicine had made her consciousness still very vague.
After circling around her, the thing slowly came close to her, then its ribs slowly opened, revealing an internal cavity with white soft tissue, and long tendrils stretched out and fell on her body and limbs, some of which pierced into her skin.
Yang Ling was a little more sober at this time. She raised her hand to look at the whiskers on her hand, then looked at the scene reflected on the smooth surface of the porcelain jar. Without looking back, she took a deep breath, opened her arms, leaned back, entered the body of the thing, and stuck to the soft tissues.
Then she saw the opened ribs slowly closing and wrapping herself completely, and at this moment, she felt that the two bodies and consciousnesses suddenly established a unified connection, as if they were instantly combined into one, and she seemed to have a powerful body with incomparable vitality in an instant.
This active consciousness body "Narcissus" controlled by Lian Weizhong, once combined with a person like her who has compatible spiritual power, can exert extremely strong combat power, and both sides can gain strength from each other.
Yang Ling adapted herself a little and naturally made the body form a four-limbed posture. Those limbs seemed to have grown out of her body naturally, and there was no sense of sluggishness in controlling them.
She controlled her body and took a few light steps forward, landing almost silently, and she felt that she could move freely on the walls and ceiling.
At this moment, the strands of colorful whiskers on her chin moved, as if she sensed something. This was her field perception organ, which could clearly receive and inquire about information from the outside world.
Soon, there was a sound of footsteps coming from above. After noticing it, the fin-like thing on her back, like a ribbon, moved, and the color on her body slowly faded and became lighter, as if it was blending into the air.
"Narcissus" has a strong stealth function, which can greatly improve its ability to survive in the fusion area, because the primary goal after entering the fusion area is not to defeat the strong enemy, but to survive first.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the female assistant walked down. She looked at the broken blood vessels outside the porcelain jar, walked over, stepped on the steel structure platform and took a look inside, and found that it was empty.
Suddenly, she seemed to feel something. She looked up and saw that in the empty place, a streamlined head like an eagle or a fish slowly emerged in front of her, and then the whole body appeared, and the pair of green narrow eyes in front were staring at her.
Far from being afraid, she revealed a somewhat fanatical look and said, "Miss, did you succeed in the fusion?"
Soon, a spiritual consciousness was transmitted to her realm.
"Yes."
The female assistant's usual indifference was gone, revealing an expression of immense excitement. She bowed and said, "Director Yang will surely be very pleased to see how well Miss is compatible."
"I need to eat."
"Eating?"
The female assistant straightened up, a strange light in her eyes.
"Everything has been prepared long ago."
Two days later, October 3rd.
At seven o'clock in the morning, a small sightseeing airship flew out from the port of Jiyang District as usual and stopped high above the open sea.
Chen Chuan stood in the cabin of the airship. He raised the Xuejun Sword high and slashed it forward. In an instant, a crack was cut open, and a dazzling light immediately overflowed from it.
In the past few days, he asked Xue Jundao to absorb the remaining high-energy nutrients. Now the existence of the rift can easily reach more than four hours.
This means that he can spend the entire morning practicing.
However, as Xue Jundao grows, he can actually stay in this state for a longer time if he wants. The reason why it is not that long is that if the gap exists for a longer time, it may attract things on the opposite side. If it is not handled carefully, the crack may be exposed, which is inefficient.
So the current situation seems just right.
He sat down where he was, placed the Xuejun Knife beside him, and began his spiritual practice for the day.
Four hours passed in a flash, and just as the training was about to end, he suddenly felt a chill, and there seemed to be a hazy shadow swaying on the other side of the crack. At the same time, some violent virtual waves appeared on the second me.
In fact, he had seen many such scenes in recent days, but what came today seemed a little unusual.
He stood up holding the Xuejun Knife and looked intently ahead. Suddenly, it seemed as if an invisible object slammed into the crack, and the crack that was originally shrinking seemed to stop closing.
He stared intently and could feel something pushing out from inside, but there was nothing in his sight, and it cast a distorted shadow on the ground.
“clang…”
He pulled the Xuejun Sword out of its scabbard. Before the scabbard even hit the ground, he raised the sword and slashed forward, instantly chopping off the crack!
But after he slashed out with the sword, he suddenly felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart. His eyes flashed, and his spiritual power surged out, slashing along the original gap.
The knife cut through the top of the crack and when the knife's momentum ended, it landed right at the end of the crack. When the knife light passed, the crack that had originally existed also disappeared, as if it was wiped out from the air like an eraser.
The invisible existence under his feet also disappeared, leaving only slight traces of burning and corrosion on the floor where the shadow had fallen, proving that it had been there.
Chen Chuan maintained the posture for a moment, then looked at the Xuejun Knife in his hand again.
It seemed this blade could do more than just open rifts; it could also mend them, rather than letting them close on their own. It was just that his previous strength was insufficient, so he couldn't do it. But then again, it made sense. Even the split offspring of the scorpion mother could easily do this, let alone the even more mysterious object within the blade.
He felt slightly excited. If that was the case, then the space that could be utilized and operated would be much larger than before.
