Red Spider Lily (3)
Plop! Plop! Plop!
The sound of the heart beating was so loud.
Shi Jianxia suddenly looked up, almost unable to control the anger surging from the bottom of his heart.
The doctor's eyes met hers, but he did not feel any displeasure at the emotions surging in her eyes. Instead, he continued to take notes with a smile.
Shi Jianxia stared at him intently. If her gaze could turn into a blade, the doctor would have been cut into pieces by now.
But he calmly said, "His potential is far inferior to yours. Even if he awakens the Azure Dragon Mimicry, he won't be able to fully control it."
Shi Jianxia lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The doctor didn't seem to care about her attitude and continued, "Look, you've almost broken your mimicry after just one trip. Aren't you deliberately trying to cause trouble for me?"
Xia Yuanji lay in the treatment cabin with his eyes closed and a pale face. The Azure Dragon Totem slowly moved over his body, whether it was absorbing his vitality or saving his life.
Shi Jianxia looked up and saw the dark green diamond-shaped crystal in the groove above the treatment cabin.
At this time, the surface of the crystal was surrounded by circles of green starlight. These starlights gradually moved away from the crystal while rotating at high speed, and sank into the center of Xia Yuanji's eyebrows.
This fragment of the star core was probably the one inherited by the Shen family. According to her previous guess, the doctor got it and used its power on his father, causing him to awaken the Azure Dragon Mimicry.
Time passed minute by minute, and the laboratory was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Shi Jianxia stood beside the treatment cabin, staring at the unconscious Xia Yuanji motionlessly.
Not long ago, he held her in his arms, his arms were so strong and warm, like the safest harbor, protecting her from wind and rain.
"What do you want me to do?" Shi Jianxia's voice was hoarse and his tone was surprisingly calm, as if the ferocity just now was just an illusion.
The doctor put away the record book, took off his gloves, picked up the star core fragment and put it back on his left index finger. He said helplessly: "Number Seven, don't think I'm so unscrupulous. I'm saving Major General Xia."
"Ten years ago, when I found him, his mimicry was shattered and he was nearly dead. In order not to make you sad, I spent a lot of effort to save him."
As he spoke, he gently patted Shi Jianxia's shoulder, turned and walked to the experimental table at the back, and performed a few simple operations on the virtual screen.
A medicine tube popped out from the treatment cabin and pierced Xia Yuanji's upper arm.
The emerald green liquid slowly flowed into his blood vessels. In just a few seconds, his pale face turned rosy at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his weak breath gradually became stronger.
Shi Jianxia clenched his fists, "What are you doing?"
The therapeutic effect of any medicine is limited. It is common sense that the faster the effect of the medicine, the greater the side effects.
The doctor looked a little surprised, as if to say, 'Can't you see I'm saving him?', but then he replied very patiently, "Of course I am saving him."
"Don't worry, even if it's for you, I have to make him get better soon."
Shi Jianxia couldn't understand his good intentions at all and only found it extremely irritating.
Seeing that her eyes were slightly red, the doctor smiled, unfolded the virtual screen and clicked a few times. The treatment cabin suddenly moved and slid into the open wall, blocking Shi Jianxia's sight.
Shi Jianxia's eyes opened slightly.
The doctor's voice came again, "Number Seven, you know I like well-behaved and sincere children."
"Tell me, what did you do when you went out this time?"
Shi Jianxia bit her tongue, and the sharp pain brought her back to her senses. She lowered her eyes and whispered, "I have already reported everything that happened recently to you."
"Oh?" The Doctor's tone rose slightly, "But you haven't told me who brought you into King's Landing?"
Shi Jianxia thought he had discovered clues in the matters of Wen Qiuqiu and Number Five, but he never expected that the target was the cross-dressing T-shirt boss.
She said calmly, "I don't know who they are either."
The fact that a cross-dressing gangster kidnapped her from the interstellar port to King's Landing was not a secret, so it was normal for the Doctor to know about it.
The doctor laughed in an ambiguous tone and asked, "Number Seven, do you know anything about the Fusion School?"
Fusion?
Zhuang Mingyue once mentioned to her that Higanbana was the name of the fusionist organization.
The Fusion Faction wants ordinary humans to awaken mimicry, and the way they are looking for is parasitic awakening. However, Higanbana conducts a lot of illegal research in private, even smuggling Zerg and creating parasitic incidents, becoming an out-and-out terrorist, and the research she conducts is not tolerated by the Federation.
Shi Jianxia once searched for information related to the Fusion School on StarNet, but the search results were empty, obviously it was blocked by the authorities.
Seeing her hanging her head and not saying anything, the doctor smiled faintly, pulled out a chair and sat down, and continued: "The Fusion Faction appeared to save the semi-parasites and parasites."
"The emergence of parasitic awakening mimicry has led some people to believe that even if humans are parasitized by the Zerg, they can still retain their consciousness."
"Driven by humanitarian public opinion, the Federation established the Fusion Research Institute to gather those with the ability to awaken parasitic mimicry and capture a large number of parasites to cooperate with the institute's research."
"Guess what the result is?" The doctor asked with a smile, holding his chin.
"The research failed." Shi Jianxia replied.
If successful, the fusion faction will not become a taboo in the federation.
The doctor nodded. "Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions of studies have all failed. There's no pattern to how humans awaken mimicry through parasitism. Ordinary people are doomed to die if parasitized. Symbiosis with Zerg consciousness doesn't exist."
Almost subconsciously, Shi Jianxia thought of Jun Xiaoyi.
He said that he was in a symbiotic state with the cattail fly, and the fundamental reason for maintaining this state was the power of the star core in its body.
"Just when all the researchers were at a loss, someone mentioned the star core." The doctor raised his hand and gently tapped the star core fragment on his left index finger.
"So, the seven star cores left behind by the mysterious desolate planet explosion were sent to the Fusion Research Institute."
Since some people thought so long ago that the emergence of human mimicry was related to stellar cores, and research on red spider lilies has confirmed that stellar cores can prompt humans to awaken mimicry, why were there no related topics in the hundreds of years in between?
The next moment, the doctor answered Shi Jianxia's doubts.
"But at this moment, a plague of insects broke out on Cloud Planet, where the Fusion Faction Research Institute was located. Among the millions of Zerg parasites gathered for research, an SS-class queen emerged. Cloud Planet was completely destroyed within a few days."
"In this incident, the Federation lost two marshals, five generals, and over ten legions."
"As word spread, the Fusion Faction was blamed for the fall of Cloud Star. All their research projects were banned by the Federal Parliament, and the Fusion Faction disappeared."
The doctor chuckled when he said this, and it was unclear whether he was laughing at the fact that the fusion school was only one step away from success but stopped here.
Shi Jianxia looked at him, unable to guess what he wanted to express by suddenly mentioning these things.
The doctor changed into a comfortable posture and leaned back in the chair, his dark green eyes looking over, like carefully polished jade, crystal clear yet gorgeous and noble.
"Of course, the survivors of the Fusion Faction are unwilling to let Dawn of the Dawn go, but the star core disappeared in that insect plague, and Cloud Star has become a restricted area. What's the point of being unwilling?"
"until……"
The doctor spoke slowly, "Until someone discovered that, in addition to the seven star cores left behind by the desolate planet's explosion, there were also other star core fragments left."
He raised his hand, and Shi Jianxia felt a sharp pain coming from deep in her brain. A power that did not belong to her burst out, controlling the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" to fly out of the spiritual power fountain.
The sound of pages flipping was heard, and the jade plate flew out of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and hovered in front of Shi Jianxia. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" flew all the way to the doctor and finally landed in his palm.
Shi Jianxia's pupils dilated and he raised his hand reflexively, but he was restrained in place by the power released by the jade plate, unable to move forward or backward.
The doctor held the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in his hand, lightly pressing his fingertips on the cover, gently stroking its rather rough material, and was about to open it, but he felt a strong resistance, as if this was not a book, but a hard rock that could not be turned at all.
Emerald green light streamed out from the fragments of the star core, but the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was like a hard clam shell that would not open no matter how hard you tried to pry it open.
The doctor was not angry when he couldn't open it. He smiled at Shi Jianxia and said, "It really is worthy of being a 3S-level miracle mimicry. Even I can't open it."
Shi Jianxia almost had a cardiac arrest because of his words.
She didn't tell anyone that "Classic of Mountains and Seas" could be upgraded to level 3S.
The doctor let go of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and the free "Classic of Mountains and Seas" immediately flew towards Shi Jianxia, like a frightened human cub, and without saying a word, it knocked away the jade plate hovering in front of her and rushed into her arms.
This collision destroyed the power that was restraining Shi Jianxia.
She held the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in her arms and felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
The doctor can easily manipulate her and even knows the secret that "Classic of Mountains and Seas" can be upgraded to level 3S.
Seeing her lower her head and remain silent again, the doctor sighed deeply, "Why are you as taciturn as your father?"
After muttering softly, he added meaningfully, "Number Seven, you are my favorite child. You cannot collude with those traitors and plot against me."
Shi Jianxia looked up and said, "So, the force those two people belong to is the true fusion faction."
Having said that, thinking about the reactions of the cross-dressing man and others when they mentioned the red spider lily, Shi Jianxia could almost piece together what happened.
The original fusion faction emerged to save the parasite, but the fall of Cloud Star dealt a huge blow to the fusion faction. Those who were unwilling to give up turned from open to secret, but in the development of hundreds of years, differences arose, giving rise to conservatives and radicals.
The conservatives have always adhered to the original ideas of the fusionists, and have studied artificial awakening mimicry to save parasites without harming human interests.
The radicals formed the Higanbana group headed by the doctor. The radicals only cared about the research results on how to artificially awaken the mimicry. Whether the subjects would die or whether ordinary people would be affected during the research were not within their consideration.
But the doctor's research has been successful. His father awakened the Azure Dragon Mimicry in his hands, and even the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" that she awakened may be the doctor's work. Why doesn't he announce his research results to the outside world and still continue to seize the star core?
Do you want to control all the star cores in your own hands, replace the rulers of the Federation, and become the pioneer of a new era?
Then he might as well play power games instead of being a researcher?
The doctor did not respond to Shi Jianxia's words, but said contemptuously: "A bunch of traitors! Next time you see them, remember to bring back their bodies."
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the laboratory table on the other side, saying slowly: "Okay, you can go out first. I have other things to do."
It seemed that he called Shi Jianxia over just to chat with her about the development history of the harmony faction and to warn her not to play tricks under his nose.
When Shi Jianxia refused to leave, she said coldly, "Let me see Dad. I want to talk to him."
The doctor didn't care at all whether she had rebellious intentions or not. He deliberately let her meet Xia Yuanji as a blatant threat.
In this case, there is no need for her to force herself to pretend to be obedient.
Without even turning his head, the doctor said, "He won't wake up today. Come over tomorrow."
Shi Jianxia bit her lower lip lightly and finally left the laboratory.
Hearing the sound of the metal door closing, she gently stroked the spine of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in her arms and recited silently in her heart.
Fusion school.
traitor.
Shi Jianxia lowered his eyelids, covering up the darkness deep in his eyes.
