Chapter 237 [Revised] The human immortality plan must end in a tragic death, the more...
After the operation, Yu Chen stayed in the ward for two days under close observation.
After ensuring that their immune systems and organs had temporarily accepted the chains, they stayed for another day, packed up their belongings and prepared to return.
The end of sick leave also means the beginning of abstinence period.
According to Zhuo Liangmu's postoperative summary, this abstinence will last at least two months.
"Long?" Zhuo Liangmu smiled kindly, "It's not that exaggerated."
"Of course." In front of his acquaintances, Bai Ling put on a sullen face.
Yu Chen came over to hold his hand and explained, "He will be in heat next month. I was supposed to adjust my work to match his heat time, but something went wrong."
There was guilt in his words.
Zhuo Liangmu felt that it was indeed urgent, so he asked, "What should we do? Should we give Little White Bird some highly effective inhibitors? They are built-in and have fewer side effects."
Bai Ling answered quickly: "Then I want ten -"
Before he could finish his words, he was grabbed by the waist and dragged away casually. Yu Chen said softly, "No, we don't want it."
Bai Ling: “…”
Zhuo Liangmu: “…”
Not good. Since he said he didn't need it, he must have decided to find other ways to deal with the omega's estrus period.
As for what method it is.
Bai Ling really didn't dare to think about it.
Considering that this guy's spiritual threads are already running all over the place, the degree of differentiation is high enough to replicate a whole set of organs. He was afraid that one day when he woke up, the fish would really split into seven or eight selves, standing beside the bed and saying to him in a demonic way, "Good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning, good morning."
Bai Ling imagined the scene and couldn't help but shudder.
It's too sad, he refused!
To ensure safety, he secretly ran to ask the old woodpecker while the mermaid was away.
Zhuo Liangmu said frankly: "Your worry...is actually not unreasonable."
Bai Ling: “Right!”
Zhuo Liangmu changed the subject and consoled her, "But there's no need to be too nervous. The probability of this happening is very small, less than 10%."
Bai Ling: "...10%, this explosion rate is already very high for me."
It is said that blessing is not a disaster, and disaster cannot be avoided. After returning, Bai Ling decided to make three rules with the mermaid in advance:
"I don't care what you do, but I have to launch a final counterattack later. Don't disturb me while I'm working."
The mermaid thought for a moment, "In other words, as long as the baby's freedom of movement is not restricted, he can do whatever he wants. Am I understanding correctly?"
Free play? Bai Ling sensitively smelled a hint of the fish's conspiracy and sneered: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. If you want to eat fresh eggs, you have to work hard for me."
"What should we do?" The mermaid came closer, looking obedient.
"If nothing else, we must at least catch that half mermaid." Otherwise, leaving such a dangerous person outside would make it hard to sleep or eat.
"So that's what you're worried about," Yu Chen said slowly and casually, "Don't worry, he won't live long."

Imperial Capital Star.
At dusk, the sea was low and gloomy, and the wind swept across the coast from the north, quietly sneaking into the cracks of this bustling city. Under the bright lights of the tall buildings, there was a rustling noise coming from the alley.
Next to the trash can, the mice stood on their legs in fear, looked around with their black bean-sized eyes for a while, and then suddenly made a "squeaking" sound and fled in all directions.
The manhole cover was opened from the inside out.
A hooded figure wrapped in a dirty cloak climbed up, panting. The moment half of his lower limbs hit the ground, he ran out of strength and fell headfirst.
Snap.
A pair of feet sitting in a wheelchair appeared in front of him.
"Help His Royal Highness up quickly." The old and frail voice instructed the people behind him with a sound like nails scratching on a blackboard.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke."
Then, two seafood bodyguards dressed in black walked up from the left and right to help up the creature that looked like a puddle of mud.
Yes, biological.
It didn't know what it encountered during its escape, and its face looked even more terrifying than it had been half a month ago. Now it can hardly be called a human form - when it raised its head, even the bodyguards who were good at handling "dirty work" screamed in fear, because they clearly saw that when the hood fell, the man's rotten body was covered with small golden mushrooms.
The juiciness of the mushrooms formed a stark contrast to the corruption of the flesh and blood of the half mermaid.
Everyone present thought of one thing: this evil and terrifying mushroom was sucking the mermaid's life force.
They couldn't help but step back together, fearing that the spores emitted by the mushrooms would attach to their bodies.
Duke Swordfish slowly shook out a handkerchief and covered his mouth and nose with it. "How did you get into this state?"
"...It's...my younger brother..." It was difficult for Terrazhen to make a sound. His throat was also full of fungi. Every time his vocal cords vibrated, the tiny mushrooms attached to the mucous membrane would rub against each other, causing excruciating pain and terribly itchy, as if they were deliberately trying to make him slowly experience the process of death while he was still conscious.
——Isoparaiso, the absolute devil!
Although he escaped the spiritual threads that were chasing him, he was careless about the attachments that were floating everywhere. Moreover, he escaped through the sewer system. He did not expect that Isuparaiso's spiritual threads could secrete spores so tiny that they were hardly noticeable, which slowly permeated the entire space along the aerosol.
By the time he discovered that his skin was itching and something was digging its roots deep into his veins, it was too late.
"This is so regrettable," the Duke pretended to be sad. "So, Your Highness, what are your plans now? Or do you want to find a safe place to hide and enjoy your old age with me?"
Trajan laughed heart-wrenchingly, and with every laugh, golden mushrooms trembled down from his pale face like a dead person:
"Enjoy his old age? ... No, no! I want him to die!"
He gnashed his teeth and squeezed out a voice full of gloomy resentment from his broken lungs, "No matter what the price, I want to see him cut into pieces and die tragically in public... Otherwise... I can't appease my resentment and the hatred of my cubs...!"
cub.
The bodyguards looked down subconsciously and noticed that there was an abnormal bulge under Terazhen's clothes.
They were also selected from the nobility and knew some unofficial history about the mermaids. One of the items mentioned that pure-blooded mermaids have difficulty conceiving, and both male and female mermaids attach great importance to offspring.
When the female is weak from giving birth, the male will differentiate a kangaroo-like brood pouch in his abdomen, in which he will place the young fish for protection, raising them, and feeding them from time to time. This male-feeding method, which differs from that of humans, is designed to ensure that in the ocean environment where the strong prey on the weak, enemies such as killer whales will not take advantage of their absence to eat their precious cubs.
The male pouch of this half-merman was still preserved and had not shrunk back.
This shows that its child has not grown up yet.
In other words, they will never grow up again.
Let’s talk about Terajan’s accusation…
The bodyguards felt a chill in their hearts. They only knew that Isupalaiso would exploit males by any means necessary, but they didn't expect that he would even spare babies.
Hell Satan is nothing more than that!
"Please rest assured, Your Highness," the Duke of Swordfish said word by word, "There is more than one person in this world who wants him dead. It's time for him to stop."
"As for the little prince," he said, referring to the half-dead baby in the cradle, "I recently learned of a new technology that may be able to save it."
Trajan, who was now at her wit's end, readily agreed.
The group disappeared silently in the foggy night.
After they left, the rat behind the trash can rustled out, and its black eyes glanced around alertly, locking onto the place where half of the mermaid had just been.
They were pleasantly surprised to find a small pile of golden, tasty mushrooms.
It rushed over, ate it in big mouthfuls, then raised its head and squeaked "squeak squeak" to call its companions to come over.
But when other companions in the sewer heard the news and rushed over, what they saw in front of them was a strange thing - a controlled zombie rat covered with mushrooms.
·
Terajane fainted.
When he woke up again, he found himself in a bright and spacious laboratory. His body was full of tubes, like a tied crab, and an unknown blue liquid was pouring into his body, flowing through his blood vessels and into his limbs.
This, they said, was to inhibit the effects of the spores and cleanse the mushrooms from taking root in his veins.
"This will allow you to live a little longer," the researcher explained, "but the damage is irreversible. The best thing to do is to replace the body as quickly as possible."
Terrazhen also wanted to do this, and he had tried it on Lu Hang before.
However, the influence of those evil spores is beyond imagination. Apparently, Isuparaiso has never stopped evolving during this hundred years, and the spores differentiated from its spiritual threads can easily destroy human nervous tissue.
The researcher said succinctly: "According to the imaging results, your brain nerve tissue has shrunk by 70%. Please do not use your mental power rashly, otherwise you may suffer brain shock at any time."
Trajan closed her eyes in despair.
If he could be given another chance, he would definitely strangle that demon to death in his childhood and nip all the evil in the bud.
But at this moment, the researcher suggested to him: "The Duke suggests that you try our new plan."
"...What...plan..." Terrazhen asked hoarsely while being smothered in the treatment cabin.
The researcher smiled and introduced: "The Human Immortality Project"
There was no point in saying more. The researcher simply opened the cover of the treatment cabin and slowly and carefully inserted a steel needle into his brain.
Terazhen shook violently in pain, but soon the anesthetic gel wrapped on the probe took effect.
He no longer felt pain, instead, a large subtitle appeared on his retina -
The notice of the "Human Immortality Plan" was directly charged into his brain in the form of synthetic brain waves.
[Project Code]: Black Jacket
[Approval Date]: 2411/07/19
[Technical name]: Soul separation and body replacement by means of "artificial brain wave separation"
[Goal]: Eliminate physical limitations and liberate human consciousness!
The researcher explained further: "This is a new technology. It originated from ancient Earth and is a technological archaeological product from the era before the Great Destruction. At that time, there was already considerable clinical data, and it is very reliable. If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Duke's request, we would not provide you with this service."
There was an unspoken arrogance in his tone, and he kept calling them "you" and "you guys" as if he was not born to be of the same race as them.
The arrow is on the string and must be shot. Terrazhen actually doesn't have much choice. He closed his eyes, and the EEG probe picked up his consciousness, "I agree."
"Please rest assured," the researcher said politely, "My medical skills are among the best. In your words, it is 'resurrecting the dead and turning the bones into flesh'."
"...What's your name?" Terazhen's consciousness fluctuated.
"You can call me, Myomoto," the researcher replied with a smile.
As he spoke, he placed the oxygen mask on Terazhen's face and casually ordered the robotic arm, "Inject anesthesia."
There was just the right dose of mechanical manipulation, and everything went smoothly. The development of interstellar medicine has reached the ultra-microscopic stage. In this era, the hands of robots are steadier than those of a thirty-year-old surgeon.
But sometimes there are emergencies.
"Alert! Alert! Alien bloodline detected, the recipient of the surgery is not human—"
Not...human...? Before she fell into coma, Terrazhen had a faint question in her mind.
Is it important that you are not human?
But the next second, he fell into coma again, so he didn't see the young researcher in front of him waving his arms helplessly and saying "Okay, I get it".
Then, the researcher put his hand on his left cheek, fumbled for a while, and made a "picking off the skin" gesture like a murderer.
Half of the head slowly opened to the right like the door of a bathroom cabinet, revealing the exquisite and complex instrument structure inside.
"You need to reconfirm the permission key, right?" said the researcher named Miao Ben, his mouth separated from the skull. He reached out and pressed the small red button in the skull, "I'm activating it now."
The system voice that appeared out of nowhere responded quickly: "Authorization received. Plan approved."
Then, the previous robotic arm began to move quickly and accurately again. The system voice changed its tone and announced in a businesslike manner: "Preparation for the 20769th Soul Stripping Surgery."
After a long ten hours of neuronal scanning and imaging, the soul stripping officially began.
Miao Ben was wearing a dark green surgical gown. Unlike other doctors, he wore a transparent helmet on his face, as if to prevent possible splashes.
He checked the time and woke up Terazhen.
Trajan's eyes were cloudy, and her throat was so sore that she couldn't make a sound: "Are you okay...?"
"Not yet." Miao Ben said casually, "By the way, that notice is an old version. We forgot to update it. There is one more thing to note. I will tell you now."
“What…”
Myomoto bent down, picked up a huge chainsaw from the ground, and lifted it onto his shoulder. The veins on his arms bulged, and he pulled the chainsaw hard, making a terrifying tearing sound like a tool "buzz--"
"One of the necessary conditions for the Soul Stripping Technique," Myomoto informed truthfully, "is that the death must be accidental."
He raised the chainsaw high, and the teeth left a horrible afterimage. Even the strongest body would be turned into a pool of rotten meat under its crazy gnawing.
"Second, you must die tragically. The more tragic the better."
The chainsaw fell in the blink of an eye, and Terajan screamed in horror: "You can't kill me! Only a mermaid can kill a mermaid!"
Miao Ben tilted his head slightly and took out a piece of minced meat from the bucket beside him, "Mermaid, are you talking about this little thing?"
“Boo, boo, boo—”
Not sure if it was an illusion before death, but Trajan felt that the piece of meat made a heart-wrenching scream, which seemed to be...
Father, save me.
Miao Ben smeared the baby fish on the chainsaw and confirmed rigorously, "It's OK now."

"Eaters will eventually be eaten" - "A New Tales of the Sleeping Beauty"
Sava copied this sentence from a fairy tale book and stuck it on a sticky note next to the curtain of the military discussion room.
Bai Ling passed by and took a look.
It seems to be quite meaningful.
His thoughts turned, and he opened the inner door, and saw that the chair at the end of the room was occupied. The invader turned his chair half a circle and smiled at Bai Ling:
"How about it?"
"Not bad," Bai Ling took off his gloves and threw them aside. "Savagan is still good at management. Nothing went wrong, except that the cafeteria expenses were higher during my absence."
He then asked: "What about you?"
The mermaid hooked her palm and generously invited the bird to sit on her lap. After Bai Ling sat down, he stretched his tail and spoke leisurely:
"Nothing else, but one thing is unusual."
"What's the matter?" Bai Ling carefully avoided the chains and put his arms around his neck.
"The half-merman, my brother Trajan, seems to be dead."
"Seems?" Bai Ling raised his eyebrows. He subconsciously felt that the word was used in an unusual way, because Yu Chen rarely used such an uncertain description.
Yu Chen nodded, "The spiritual thread I released could not track any signs of his life."
In other words, his spores are dead, which means the host must also be dead.
But he was not completely sure about this, because according to his calculations, Trajan would have to suffer for at least a month before she could be relieved.
It's only been a week now.
Abnormally fast.
Bai Ling remained expressionless after listening to his explanation. He knew that this guy must have a backup plan, and judging from the fish's evasive description, his methods were probably quite cruel.
But he had no objection to this.
It was tragic that Terazhen was killed by Yu Chen. Then wasn't it also tragic that Lu Hang and other people whose eyeballs were eaten were killed by Terazhen?
Only a merman can kill a merman. The death of Terazhen only proves the truth of these four words: evil will be punished with evil.
But now it seems that this incident happened much earlier than Yu Chen had accurately calculated.
"You mean, someone intervened and took the initiative?" Bai Ling pondered.
"Or saved him." Yu Chen said.
Bai Ling subconsciously asked back: "How can we save him if he's dead?"
Yu Chen pondered, "I don't know yet."
"There are things in the world that you don't know about?" Bai Ling teased, and saw that the canned food on the small table had been opened. "Hey, did you eat my canned food?"
"You have half a bowl left. I'll help you have two bites." The mermaid replied calmly.
Bai Ling felt that the scene was magical when she saw him wearing an elegant suit but hiding in the house and secretly eating such common food.
It's strange. Generally speaking, the higher a species is on the food chain, the more restricted its survival is and the higher the level of food it requires.
But this fish seems to eat everything.
He is totally different from his brother who is extremely picky about food and eats eyeballs at every meal.
Bai Ling thought of this and asked him why.
Yu Chen said casually, "I was a proton when I was young. Although it looked glamorous on the surface, I didn't have much good food to eat in private. I was short of change, so I often had to go out and work secretly to make some money. There was no ocean on that planet, so when I was hungry, I could only dig potatoes. If I ate too much, I would become an omnivore."
Bai Ling: “…”
No wonder people now teach their little alphas to dig potatoes every day.
There is a bit of personal grudge involved.
Purely "I'm going to tear your umbrella into pieces after I've been caught in the rain."
But on second thought, if he hadn't gone through this hardship, Bai Ling would really look down on him.
At most, they would just shoot him twice based on his appearance and then throw him away.
Yu Chen said calmly, "My brother often criticizes me for eating too many different kinds of food."
"What's the complaint?" Bai Ling also felt a little hungry, so he grabbed the can and the spoon, sat on his lap, scooped a spoonful and started chewing.
"You said I was a curly dishcloth and that as a superior mermaid I ate too dirty. That's not noble at all."
In that era when black-tailed mermaids were revered, the little mermaids with long curly blonde hair were seen as prickly and strange creatures.
Excluding him is like a group of wild cats beating up a white cat.
Bai Ling got angry when he heard this: "What dishcloth? Don't scold my quilt."
Yu Chen raised his eyebrows and asked inquiringly, "Quilt core?"
Biting her lower lip, Bai Ling buried her head in the thick long hair at the crook of his neck. It was so fluffy and fragrant.
He certified, "This is the queen's royal nesting material. I will build it tonight."
The old man was so delighted that he received an additional 1 billion in military funds that day.
Savoy received the notice and flapped his wings happily:
"Hoohoo, my brother is exerting his strength again!"
