Ning Yu frowned and found that things were indeed not what she thought.

"Some records of you and William are hidden in the metadata of the T-virus serum."

She spoke out the fact, but didn't tell Lacey how she decrypted it.

When Lacey heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed with relief.

"I see. It seems that Lord William has done something else."

"That would explain everything."

Ning Yu also walked up to her and looked at the screen next to her.

"You might as well elaborate on it."

Lacey took a deep breath, and the light wings behind her flickered twice and then dimmed.

She slowly began to tell the story.

"I want all human beings to be happy. This is the dream that Sir William has always wanted to pursue."

"He wants to eliminate illness and disasters, eliminate birth, aging, sickness and death, and allow everyone to continue to exist forever in some form."

"The method he chose was cyborgization."

Lacey raised her arms. The exquisiteness of her body far exceeded Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue's imagination.

All the skin on her hands spread out piece by piece along perfect arcs, revealing the complex structure inside, with all kinds of fine circuits and transistors scattered throughout.

Then all the structures on her hand were rearranged, and a delicate and cute mechanical rabbit replaced her hand, and then changed back again after a few seconds.

"However, in human experiments involving many critically ill patients who volunteered, cyborg technology has encountered unprecedented failures."

"Humans seem to be bound by a genetic shackle."

When Ning Yu heard this, she blurted out:

"51%?"

"That's right."

Lacey nodded. She knew that this should also be what Ning Yu obtained from the virus metadata information.

"Then why can you break this limit?"

Ning Yu felt a little confused.

"This body of mine was once the fiancée of Lord William."

"She had an incurable malignant disease. Sir William, in desperation, had no choice but to attempt the first human prosthetics on her."

"But this time the cyborgization was successful on the first try."

“That was the only time it was successful.”

Lacey opened her palm, lifted it up and looked at it with a strange look.

"She? Aren't you her?"

Ning Yu seemed to have discovered some details.

"After the transformation was successful, I have completely lost all my previous memories. Sometimes I even doubt whether I am still her."

"Tell me, if a part of you or some of your memories were replaced with something else, would you still be you?"

She murmured to herself, as if lost in some thought.

"But judging from his eyes and reaction, my rational judgment tells me that Lord William does not think I am still her."

"As much as I wish"

She was about to say something else, but suddenly stopped, and her eyes returned to normal, as if some mechanism had been triggered to reset it.

"Never mind. It's not important."

She shook her head, as if returning to the topic again.

Ning Yu obviously noticed something was wrong with Lacey. She remembered that William had said to Lacey in the recording: "You will always be my love."

Is this sentence true or false? Who does the "you" in it refer to? I'm afraid only William himself knows.

However, judging from the current conversation, William may have already... "In order to solve the problem of genetic shackles in humans, William experimented and created the Utopia potion."

Lacey pointed to a small bottle that appeared on the screen. There was a letter "U" engraved on it. The liquid in the bottle was colorful and emitted a faint light.

“This is not”

Shen Yiyue had a very deep impression of this bottle of Mary Sue liquid, and Ning Yu also began to recall it.

"The phenomenon of zombie transformation you are seeing now is what will happen when the Utopia experiment fails."

She clicked on another video on the screen: In a closed laboratory, there was a creature that could no longer be called a human wandering around.

The expression on its face was extremely beastly. It was waving its limbs wildly under the shackles, and it opened its mouth wide as if trying to bite something.

But they were far less terrifying than the zombies of today. At least their skin color was not that severely morbid bluish-gray, and their bodies were not rotten.

"Utopia doesn't have the same horrific effects as the current T-virus. Its main purpose is to completely transform the human body to solve the rejection effect caused by cyborgization."

"The T virus was created by Leon based on Utopia."

As soon as Leon's name was mentioned, Lacey's eyes suddenly became fierce, with murderous intent and hatred that could not be concealed in them.

"He and Lord William were students of the same teacher, and he is also the biological son of that teacher."

"Although they were both students, the teacher taught all his knowledge to Sir William and sent Leon to the Fog City Clock Tower Magic Society."

A man with long black hair appeared on the screen. He wore a pair of round-framed glasses, had a handsome face and gentle features, and was a typical handsome man.

He was wearing a black robe, standing in front of a huge clock tower, facing the camera alone with a blank expression.

This should be Lyon.

"Unfortunately, in this era, magic has long been in decline. Leon is the last student of the Fog City Clock Tower."

"He is called the greatest magician alive."

Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue didn't quite understand what magic was, and they looked at each other.

"Magic is the general term for the mysteries or miracles that are artificially created and that can be achieved with current technology."

Lacey saw the expressions of the two people and explained.

"These magicians only want to pursue one goal throughout their lives."

When Ning Yu heard the target of pursuit, her heart skipped a beat.

“Could it be that we have reached the source?”

"That's right."

Lacey confirmed Ning Yu's guess.

"It is said that in that place, you and I are one, the past and the future coexist, and there is all supreme knowledge and truth."

"Magicians are, to some extent, a group of pathetic philosophers. The existence of the root is as deadly as the attraction of fire to moths."

“If you can reach there, all your questions will be answered, all your worries and delusions will disappear, and you will be able to achieve ultimate happiness there.”

“That’s how they describe it.”
