Factionalism
"City Lord..." Xun Ruozhang wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start. She was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment.
Lin Miao was surrounded and protected by a group of people, standing in the corner farthest from Su Liu.
Further away were Lin Su's resistance army and the remnants of "Dawn of Tomorrow".
Su Liu looked in Lin Miao's direction and smiled.
The experiment conducted by Lin Miao did not strictly control the variables.
In short, his experimental conclusions confirmed that the method he used could indeed kill the Blood Clan King and Queen Dai Ning, two Blood Clan AOs who had lost their power three thousand years ago. However, even Lin Miao himself could not fully guarantee that the same method would be effective on Qi Fengling.
There are two reasons.
First, Qi Fengling did not have any biological children, nor did he lose the power of his ancestor.
Second, Qi Fengling is less than ten thousand years old.
Therefore, there are three possible conclusions.
First, blood is the source of the Progenitor's eternal life. Regardless of whether the Progenitor has lost his power, as long as his blood is drained and then illuminated by light, the Progenitor will die. The reason this has never been verified is that the Progenitor in his prime would be impossible to be slaughtered.
Second, the ancestor died from exhaustion of strength after giving birth to children, not from exhaustion of blood or sunlight.
Third, the ancestor died of natural old age, with a lifespan of about 33,000 years, which had nothing to do with blood, sunlight, or reproduction.
But Lin Miao may not care about these. Although he is just a marginal figure in the original book, he is famous for "not recognizing relatives and not allowing strangers to enter". In his mind, experiments are just experiments, and all he needs to do is record them.
therefore.
No matter what conclusion you come to in the end, as long as you do it, whether good or bad, it is the result.
As long as there are results, the experiment cannot be considered a failure.
Lin Miao was able to figure out the answer to the biggest question he had been pursuing all his life during his lifetime, and he would die without regrets.
As for emotional cards like "You do this without considering my feelings at all", they are completely useless in front of Lin Miao.
Su Liu's smile deepened. When he thought of this, he already knew how to convince Lin Miao.
At this time.
"City Lord!" An Omega in a green gauze dress rushed over crying.
That's Luyao.
She, Su Tao and her son Hu Sui were the last core members to arrive at the royal city.
This time, Qi Fengling did not stop Lu Yao from approaching Su Liu.
Luyao successfully hugged Su Liu. She sobbed beside Su Liu's ear and asked, "City Lord, you said you hated sacrifice the most. How did it become like this... Is there no other way?"
"Yes, I do, but I need time to prepare. Turning the vampires back into humans was my idea. Am I that stupid that I couldn't think of the 'Original Ancestor Exception'?"
Su Liu's tone was very firm, "I'm going with the flow. I have my own considerations."
Luyao was stunned, and the sadness on her face seemed to have been paused. After a moment, an indescribable joy slowly emerged in her eyes.
The crown on Su Liu's head shone with brilliant colors. He smiled with a winning tone and said, "Next time you cry, you might want to recite 'Everything that happens is good for me' three times before you cry."
Luyao tilted her head and looked at Su Liu, a few remaining tears running down her lips as she smiled.
At this time, Su Tao pulled Lu Yao's sleeve, probably to signal Lu Yao to stop pestering the city lord.
Only then did Luyao feel embarrassed and distanced herself from Su Liu.
When she stood up, she looked back at Su Tao. She caught a glimpse of Su Tao's eyes looking somewhere else, so she looked in that direction curiously. Only then did she realize that there was a vampire not far away, who had been exchanging glances with the one next to the city lord.
That was the Duke of Nancheng. He was looking at Su Liu with resentment, and glanced at Qi Fengling casually. When he saw her looking over, the Duke's expression seemed even more aggrieved.
Lu Yao hesitated and said, "City Lord, what is your relationship with Duke Pei of Nancheng?"
"...He is indeed pursuing me, but I am only one percent interested in him," Su Liu told the truth and turned his head to look at Qi Fengling.
Qi Fengling's eyes flickered and he looked a little embarrassed. He obviously knew what kind of green tea route he had taken when he was young.
This may not be obvious when there is no competitor, but once someone competes with him for Su Liu, the 19-year-old will definitely be filled with the fragrance of tea.
——Su Liu, I am willing to do so much for you, but look at this pretty boy next to you... What else can he do except holding you back?
Usually at times like this, someone will take the initiative to speak up for the green tea girl.
As expected, Lu Yao began to take credit for a certain vampire. "That gentleman has had a difficult life. I heard that when he helped sign the 'indemnification statement', he also persuaded those vampires to join our Spark City... Many vampires have come to our city this week, bringing food and money. Dr. Lin's experiments and Minister Mu's literacy classes are all inseparable from this..."
"What do you want to say?" Su Liu said with interest.
"...City Lord," Luyao bit her lip and said weakly, "You should treat him better."
Su Liu laughed, "I didn't ask him to do that. If someone gave you what you wanted most, but asked you to kill your best friend in exchange for it, would you do it?"
"......" Luyao subconsciously glanced at Sutao and said hesitantly, "That's different. The Duke, he's so handsome, you... you won't suffer any loss if you accept him... City Lord, you're being... too, too ruthless..."
"I'd be disrespecting him by accepting him," Su Liu said calmly. "He's doing what he's supposed to do as a Duke. His willingness to join me shows he's discerning talent, and it's also the general trend. So, why would I single him out for extra recognition? Is that fair to everyone else?"
Luyao's eyes cleared up. She calmed down and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "City Lord, you have taught me something again. I was superficial just now."
"When you're doing practical things, reducing your sexual thoughts will help you get twice the result with half the effort," Su Liu said, stopping short and handing her a handkerchief. "Wipe it off! Your tears are all over my clothes."
Luyao wiped her tears and sniffed the handkerchief, saying, "What a nice smell."
Perhaps because this behavior was extremely hateful, Luyao was quickly pulled away from Su Liu by Sutao.
The night is getting darker.
The palace was brightly lit.
Tonight should be the most complex and concentrated night for various forces since the founding of the royal city.
They restrained each other and were wary of each other, protecting Su Liu, the center of royal power, with three layers of protection inside and outside.
Settle the people in Spark City.
Su Liu began to incorporate other forces.
He first talked to the dark horse camp centered around Lin Miao and Wang Guo, whose banner was "Science and technology are the primary productive forces."
"How do you plan to deal with those vampires?" Su Liu had now moved to the special meeting hall in the palace, and he asked directly.
"Start with the vampires of the seventh generation and below," the king said without any fluctuation in his tone.
"Do these vampires need to be dealt with?" Su Liu turned to look at Lin Miao in surprise. "Didn't Lin Da's experiment tell you that, in addition to pure-blooded vampires, pseudo-vampires and vampire-like vampires of the fourth generation and below can directly reverse their bloodlines with potions?"
"...She is a very cautious person and only keeps the results in her mind. Usually after completing a task, she will destroy the relevant data. The data I got is incomplete," said Lin Miao.
"So that's how it is," Su Liu said with a smile, "So you arranged someone by her side a long time ago. What's that person's last name? I guess it's Lou?"
Lin Miao was stunned for a moment.
It was very quiet all around, and the clock of time seemed to have stopped.
"I guess your cooperation with Mr. Lou should be going smoothly. Is he a vampire or a human now?" Su Liu asked.
Lin Miao remained silent.
"Oh, it's a human. So you used him to show Your Majesty the miracle of 'pure-blooded vampires turning into humans'?" Su Liu looked at the king.
The king had taken off his crown at this moment. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Su Liu, and the contempt in his eyes gradually turned into scrutiny.
There were indeed not many complete results left by Lin Da, but Lin Miao was no pushover. He quickly used all the resources he could and mastered the most core technologies.
Therefore, the number of vampires they need to clean out is actually not as many as they say, and they don’t have to wait for hundreds of years.
After all, the number of pure-blooded vampires was less than three hundred.
Among them, there are also many humans like Dang Xia and Li An who have become pure-blooded vampires through the "blood for blood" method. Therefore, the number of pure-blooded vampires has not fluctuated much over the years.
To reverse the three hundred pure-blooded vampires into humans, the serum used would not exceed one tenth of the total blood volume.
Perhaps the blood the king drew from the vampire king was enough.
As for the remaining pseudo-vampires and vampire-like creatures, they don't need the ancestral serum at all if they want to reverse themselves into humans.
Therefore, the difficulty of the current mission is: to prevent the vampires from continuing to transform into humans, and to hunt down the vampires who are unwilling to reverse into humans.
The most shocking blow to the vampires and the one that would destroy their hope of luck would definitely be Qi Fengling's death.
This is the main reason why Lin Miao and the king joined forces to use the "minimum sacrifice" to morally blackmail Su Liu.
The king sneered, "A scheming vampire like him shouldn't be given time to react. If he had done as I said, he would have committed suicide long ago."
Lin Miao raised the corners of his lips slightly, "But I like the City Lord."
Because I like it, I let it go.
"Come to think of it, I haven't thanked you for helping me solve the problem of Lin Da." Su Liu handed Lin Miao a list of Lin Da's core achievements that he had compiled out of boredom when he was giving a policy paper the night before. "Take a look and I'll tell you which one is missing. Consider it a thank you gift."
Lin Miao just glanced at it, and his hand holding the paper began to tremble slightly.
Ever since Lin Miao said that Lin Da was the hidden genius, Su Liu immediately understood why Lin Da had to die in the original book, and why he didn't even have a name, only a nickname of "leader of the organization."
Because, that is to hide a bigger secret.
——Miao Xu.
The former option requires the cooperation of the vampires, but the king and Yuan Yue are definitely not the kind of vampires who would obey obediently, so in the original book, Lin Da quickly chose the second option.
The key figure in this plan is Miao Xu.
Miao Li's heart poison can kill the ancestor in his prime.
That was a small episode that happened in the extra chapter of the original book.
At that time, the king had "inherited" the bloodline of the ancestor, and Yuan Yue also became a vampire through Miao Yu.
After being "rescued," Miao Yu behaved well and became a good friend of Yuan Yue. However, she attempted to assassinate the king while Yuan Yue was pregnant. It was during that unexpected assassination that Yuan Yue died, leaving only two first-generation vampire heirs to the king. The king was also seriously injured. In the end, he used some method to achieve Nirvana...
The estrangement between Miao Xu and Yuan Yue was also part of Lin Da's plan.
She first tricked Miao Li's "lover" into removing the heart poison, making the "lover"'s hatred towards Miao Li a natural outcome. Then, she took advantage of Yuan Yue's selfish character who generalized and only saw the side that was beneficial to himself, and under the banner of "for your own good", she facilitated the death of Miao Li's "lover", and finally achieved the final plot.
The premise of all this is Lin Da’s death.
And the core technology hidden along with her death.
Judging from the subsequent plot, the attitude of "Dawn of Tomorrow" towards the vampires seems ambiguous, but in fact it has a clear position.
On the one hand, they researched potions, and on the other hand, they tried their best to cultivate talented people who could compete with the ancestors in strength.
Mo Tong and Miao Xu are both of this type of people.
In the original book, after Lin Da died, the person who inherited her will and continued the story was Lin Miao.
Now, this crucial baton, as fate had written, was once again handed over to Lin Da's deputy, Lin Miao.
"Lin Da's death as the leader of 'Dawn of Tomorrow' should have two meanings. In addition to making people in the organization join you, the person Lin Da trusts the most, it is also to whitewash Your Majesty, the real leader, right?" Su Liu almost revealed all of Lin Miao's cards.
Lin Miao folded the paper in his hand into a paper crane and said, "It is true. Only if the 'genius' survives, we have hope."
What he meant was: Lin Da’s identity as a “genius researcher” is no longer a nickname for herself, but a belief.
Therefore, "genius" cannot die.
The one who died could only be the "leader".
"Is there nothing you want in it?" Su Liu looked at the paper crane and said in surprise.
Lin Miao hesitated for a moment and said, "...How do you resolve the heart poison?"
"Well, I'll tell you when you meet Miao Xu," Su Liu kept it a secret.
Su Liu may not know more about Lin Da's technology than Lin Miao, so he said this just to trick Lin Miao and see how much Lin Miao has mastered.
"But, for this experiment you are doing now, if you believe me, I can give you a fourth result," Su Liu threw out another bait.
