Chapter 121 William and Lacey



A slightly dull girl's voice came from the player.

Although the voice was vague, Ning Yu had a very good memory and could clearly identify the owner of the voice.

It was the voice of the blue-haired mechanical girl who had cut off her own scarlet blade!

But the sound heard from the player did not have the lazy and world-weary feeling that I heard in Tianshen Elementary School. Instead, it felt a bit dull.

It seems that there is some time gap between now and now.

But I finally found out her name: Lacey.

"The human body is still too weak after all, and cannot withstand full cybernetics."

"Let's not talk about the issue of data consciousness. Once the physical part exceeds the critical value of 51%, it will begin to collapse."

The voice of the man named William in the player sounded a little regretful, but this should not be the crux of the problem.

"So what should we do, Lord William?"

The girl Lacey asked in a still dull tone.

"This is a mixture that has just been tested on human clones. I call it Utopia."

"As long as we have it, humans can break through the 51% shackles rooted in their genes and become stronger."

"By then, everyone will be able to undergo complete cyborg transformation and become immortal."

“True happiness is within the reach of all.”

William's voice was faintly excited, as if he saw some beautiful future that was about to come.

"You are a miracle, Lacey, and soon this miracle will happen to everyone!"

"Then, will I still be special to you then?" Lacey asked in an innocent voice.

"Of course, Lacey, we just need a little more time."

"But you will always be...my love."

"Yes, everything is as you wish, Sir William."

The sound suddenly became unclear, and Ning Yu noticed that the progress bar also reached the end.

But the amount of information in this paragraph was still large enough that she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Lin Hao should have heard it once, so he just waited quietly for Ning Yu to think.

"So, this so-called T-virus is actually the Utopia drug mentioned in the audio?"

Ning Yu expressed her own guess.

"Perhaps, but if so, this potion called Utopia should have failed completely."

Lin Hao answered quietly, and then said: "Or perhaps, something happened that we don't know yet, turning the so-called miracle he mentioned into a disaster."

Neither of them knew this.

Ning Yu recalled the scene where Lacey recycled the butcher at Tianshen Elementary School. It was obvious that she seemed to be still carrying out some plan.

But apparently the plan had deviated from what the man named William had originally planned.

"What does the so-called cybernetics mean?"

Although Ning Yu had a rough guess, she still asked.

"According to my understanding, human organs, including the brain, should eventually be replaced with mechanical parts, so that we can say goodbye to birth, aging, illness and death."

Lin Hao replied.

Ning Yu frowned. This kind of technology sounded far ahead of her original world.

But she remembered the only time she hurt Lacey. There was no blood or organs in her body. She was a purely mechanized life form.

"At the end of our chromosomes, there is a repetitive DNA sequence called a telomere."

Lin Hao continued to explain.

"If telomeres are worn out, cells will start apoptosis, so it determines our aging and is irreversible."

Ning Yu nodded:

"So our lives are destined to be limited, and it is determined from the moment we are born."

"That's right."

Lin Hao paused, and continued, "There have been many studies on how to stop this process. For example, cancer cells can use telomerase to maintain the length of their telomeres to achieve unlimited replication."

"But the person in the audio did not use this method."

"It would be a perfect idea if human organs and internal organs could be directly replaced with machines, because the mechanical parts can be disassembled, repaired, and replaced with new ones."

"This completely frees us from the limitations of living organisms."

"As long as we can realize the digitization of consciousness, as he said, humans will be immortal."

He said a lot at once, and Ning Yu listened carefully.

After a while, she spoke: "After this transformation, will people still be people, and will I still be myself?"

“Who knows?”

Lin Hao smiled and spread his hands, indicating that he was not clear about this almost philosophical question.

"But what is certain is that what happened was that this guy's plan completely failed."

Ning Yu nodded in approval.

But the audio ends here, there is no further follow-up.

"This is only part of it. I haven't analyzed the evolved version of the mutant serum you sent me last time. Its sequence is even more complicated."

Lin Hao said that this means that it may be possible to obtain more information through it.

"I have a question."

Ning Yu suddenly spoke.

"Why did he put this information into the T-virus sequence? Isn't this just a waste of time?"

Lin Hao also agreed with Ning Yu's words, and he also said: "Yes, this is also a very interesting question. Logically speaking, this is completely redundant."

"But there are clues left behind. No matter what his purpose is, I need to know what happened."

Lin Hao clenched his palms, his eyes deep.

Ning Yu understood what he was thinking: he wanted to find the culprit who killed his wife.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Ning Yu also wanted to know more about this, especially since there seemed to be some information about the blue-haired girl, Lacey.

If you want to continue to survive in this world, you must eliminate all unstable factors.

And it is obvious that both the T virus and Lacey are unstable factors for her.

"Not yet, but it would be great if we could get more serum."

Lin Hao shook his head. His research was going quite smoothly now. He turned around and took out two bottles of transparent potions from his pocket.

This was the product that Ning Yu had given him before. It was the purified product of the T virus serum obtained by killing Slaanesh.

"I can't give you the golden one yet. It's still under research, and the team is still looking for a way to purify it."

Lin Hao said.

"It's okay, don't worry."

Ning Yu nodded, although she knew that the potion purified from the serum of intermediate-level mutant zombies would definitely provide more attribute points.

But it is clear that intelligence is something more important.

"By the way, how's the matter of the mission record we talked about last time going?"

Ning Yu was talking about the incident where Wan Heng went out on a mission but the mission record disappeared.
