Chapter 123: The 37th Scene Between the Magician and the Deformed
"Hold my hand."
Amidst the gradually thickening white smoke, a hand reached out from the front.
Xiang Cheng?
"It's me, don't doubt it," the girl slowly emerged from the white smoke. "The security system here isn't that bad."
He Yuezhe was moved when he heard this and turned on [Energy Visualization].
After a few seconds, she reached out and placed her hand on Xiang Cheng's.
"Why is the smoke suddenly so thick?" she asked as she followed Xiang Cheng forward.
"It will be gone in a moment," Xiang Cheng replied. "You don't mind the smell of cigarettes, do you?"
“…”
"Host, take a deep breath. Less trouble is worse than more!"
"Hmph, I don't know what else can happen now that people are dead."
"Ouch! But the host also said that the smoke will dissipate in a moment, so just bear with it!"
“…”
“…very annoying.”
"Um?"
"I hate the smell of cigarettes."
Of course, to be precise, what He Yuezhe hated was the smell of incense that was usually burned in temples.
I don't know why Xiang Cheng would smoke this kind of cigarette...
"Oh, I thought that given your physical condition, you should not be able to smell anything." Xiang Cheng said.
"Why do you say that?" He Yuezhe didn't quite understand.
Since her body is a [deformed alien], she only uses her [ability] normally. How could her physical condition be as bad as Xiang Cheng described?
"Oh, I saw your eyes were like this, and I thought you couldn't smell anything either." Xiang Cheng's voice came slowly.
"...Were you a blind man who couldn't smell before?" He Yuezhe hesitated for a few seconds and asked.
"Hey," Xiang Cheng froze, "You actually guessed it right."
"But you can see, right?" she asked next.
"I can't see it." He Yuezhe answered decisively.
"Little liar."
"Okay, I won't fight with you anymore."
"Disperse!"
As Xiang Cheng shouted the word "San", the white smoke around the two of them was instantly absorbed by the wall and disappeared completely!
"Well, my sister's [magic] is still very..."
“Boom!!!”
"...Hey, why are you so unromantic?"
He Yuezhe looked at the piece of meat that inexplicably bounced into his hand, then looked at the rolling door that was slowly opening not far ahead, and finally looked at Xiang Cheng who was standing beside him with his arms folded over his chest and a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
...Why does this person seem like a different person?
She turned her gaze away from Xiang Cheng, who had been extremely attractive from the beginning, and walked over cautiously, turning sideways.
"Okay, okay, I'm not angry. No need to be so awkward," the girl's voice pierced into his ears, itching like feathers. "Since you've already opened the door, let's hurry up and go in, shall we?"
"You are not her, who are you?" He Yuezhe turned around vigilantly and asked.
Hearing this, the girl tilted her head and smiled brightly.
"I'm Guan Lian," she straightened her white coat, then took out a pair of glasses and put them on her nose, "I'm the founder of this research institute."
"Hello."
“…”
"Don't want to talk? That's okay. I can first introduce you to the main research directions of our institute."
“…”
"As a [magician] proficient in various [magic], my companions and I have discovered that using [magic] actually places a great strain on the [magician's] body."
"However, when [Deformed] and [Deformed Alien] use [Abilities] that are exactly the same as [Magic], they are not affected."
"Therefore, in order to eliminate this burden, I decided to conduct an experiment. I want to verify whether it is possible for a [magician] to be [determined] by [rules] and by this world to be [deformed] or [deformed variant] in some way, thereby turning [magic] into [ability]."
"The result is, of course."
Guan Lian walked briskly to the front door, right in the middle of the passage.
She raised her hands as if to hold up a scale.
“Buzz!!!!——”
An astonishing buzzing sound was heard!
He Yuezhe discovered that the walls made of the flesh and blood of [Deformed Species] and [Deformed Aliens] were actually gradually fluctuating with a buzzing sound!
"I'll show you some of the results. Of course, they are all formed by the [fusion] of the bodies of [mages] and [deformed species], and they are of epoch-making significance, so please don't touch them carelessly."
The buzzing sound became more and more intense, and He Yuezhe could hardly hear what Guan Lian said!
Flesh and blood squirmed, and objects of various shapes broke out of the wall!
[They] have their [eyes] closed and their [hands] clasped together. The two obviously different faces and two forms appear particularly distorted on the same body!
——This is simply like countless giant alcoves!
After those [things] came out, the space in the passage was compressed instantly, and He Yuezhe could only stay completely still to barely avoid touching [them]!
Countless faces with crazy expressions were sleeping quietly beside He Yuezhe, their breathing hitting her legs. Only then did she realize that their bloody mouths had quietly opened in various parts of their bodies!
A sense of gloom suddenly swept over He Yuezhe. As her hair stood on end, an extremely strange thought, yet extremely appropriate to the current situation, emerged in her mind.
They want to eat her!
"This is only part of my accomplishments, and part of my failures."
Guan Lian's voice came out from their mouths simultaneously.
"Most of these test subjects died during the eleventh operation," the voice was hollow. "Therefore, I named them Eleven."
"And completely fusing the bodies of the magician and the deformed species requires twelve operations. Therefore, they all fell into despair just when hope was about to materialize."
"It is precisely because of this that these experimental subjects are strong enough to serve as the security system here."
"...What exactly do you want me to do?" He Yuezhe listened to Guan Lian's extremely calm words, but his heart beat faster and faster.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot about you when I got to the point." The girl paused and changed her tone, "You weren't eaten, were you?"
“It was eaten.”
"Haha, little sister, lying is not fun at all." The flesh and blood niche retracted, and Guan Lian reappeared in He Yuezhe's sight. "It's more fun to [fuse] with the [magician]."
"I will not [Merge] with you."
"What? Oh my, little sister, you misunderstood me. When did I say I was going to [Merge] with you?"
"……oops?"
“Pah.”
"that……"
A chubby little girl suddenly emerged from behind the gate. She looked at the two of them timidly and said, "Teacher Xiang Cheng, do we not need to perform surgery today?"
“…”
He Yuezhe saw Guan Lian smile playfully, and then the girl's face returned to the vicissitudes of life she had when she first came down.
"Yes, your operations are all completed." Xiang Cheng took out his pipe and took a puff with his back to the girl. "That's perfect. Go and tell them to gather in the lobby. We have something to ask."
"Okay, okay, Teacher Xiang Cheng!" The girl grabbed her white dress with both hands and nodded vigorously, "But please don't smoke anymore!"
Xiang Cheng had just turned his back and was about to take out his pipe to take another puff, but he paused when he heard this.
"Don't worry about it, little girl," she patted the girl on the back, "be careful or I won't give you food."
"Teacher Xiang Cheng! How could you do this! We are all your children, why do you only threaten me like this!!" The girl stomped her feet angrily.
Xiang Cheng paused again: "...How do you know I don't threaten others like this?"
"Because, because every time you finish chatting with other kids, they will bring back a lot of delicious snacks!! But I have nothing!!!" The girl was very angry.
"..." Xiang Cheng paused again, "I don't think so? Maybe you remembered it wrongly."
"Impossible!! Sooooooooooooooo I can't have remembered it wrong sooooooooooooo!!!" the girl cried, her momentum undiminished.
Xiang Cheng paused again.
“Mmmmmm, Mr. Xiang Cheng must be partial to him, mmmmm!!!” the girl howled, “Mmmmm, Mr. Xiang Cheng must hate me, mmmmm!!!”
Xiang Cheng still paused.
After the girl cried for three minutes, she slowly reached out her hand and held the girl in her arms very stiffly.
“…”
“…”
“……?”
The girl suddenly stopped crying. She frowned and pushed Xiang Cheng away with great force.
"Teacher Xiang Cheng, please stop being unreasonable. We are no longer in the age of hugging and cuddling."
"Oh, this is the guest, right? Come this way, I'll take you to the lobby."
^
"[Guest], would you like something to drink? We have fresh blood, old blood, and frozen blood."
“…”
"【guest】?"
"Aren't you going to announce the news?" He Yuezhe looked at the entire wall behind the bar covered with blood, swallowed his saliva and asked.
The girl nodded and replied, "We can communicate in our minds, no need to be face to face."
"What about Xiang Cheng?"
"Teacher Xiang Cheng is making medicine. Don't worry, it's safe here." The girl smiled and handed He Yuezhe a cup of bright red liquid. "This is the mixing method I learned after a long time. If you don't mind, you can give it a try."
"Okay," He Yuezhe took it, "Now, can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Laichun," the girl showed He Yuezhe the palm of her right hand, "Look, this is our number."
"001?"
"Yes, No. 001, because we are Teacher Xiang Cheng's first batch of successful experimental subjects."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you," the girl shrugged and breathed a sigh of relief. "You're the first [guest] to say that."
"There shouldn't be any other way to say this, right?" He Yuezhe didn't quite know how to chat with people, but she subconsciously felt that when faced with this kind of thing, "congratulations" was the only word she could say.
"Not really. There have always been [customers] who think that by making this choice, we are betraying [magicians] and [humanity]."
"Maybe you find it incredible. Magicians and Deformed Species have always been at odds with each other, but now a Magician is willing to merge with a Deformed Species."
"Plus, we are all too young. To them, making this kind of decision might really seem like playing."
The girl took a sip of the liquid in her cup, smiled wryly, and stopped talking.
"..." He Yuezhe picked up the cup and clinked it with hers, saying in a very soft voice, "But you are really brave."
"I'm sorry, you said—"
“Beep, beep, beep—!!”
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!"
