Healing Medicine
Su Liu took the thick stack of original data analysis reports given by Lin Miao and sat in the office lobby to carefully check the experimental methods. At the same time, he was thinking about the opposite ideas in his mind.
Although he felt that Lin Miao was rigorous and meticulous in his work, this result was obviously not what he wanted.
At this moment, Xun Ruozhang, who temporarily took over Lin Shu's coordination of the city's defense, came in to report that there was a vampire who called himself "Dangxia" outside the city gate asking to see him.
"Let him in, he's one of us," Su Liu raised his lowered eyes slightly.
A moment later, Dang Xia appeared in sight, waving a fan. He looked quite romantic and charming, and even his plain face looked more handsome.
At first glance, it was obvious that he had learned it from the Pei family.
When Dang Xia came in, he had a smile on his face. He walked slowly closer. As the distance got closer, Dang Xia glanced at the papers on the table that were arranged in coded order.
There were densely packed derivation formulas and statistical charts written in handsome handwriting on it, which looked very advanced. Dang Xia didn't dare to look at it any longer. He put away his fan and turned his head away.
Dang Xia's arrival made Su Liu suddenly enlightened, "You came at the right time."
Then he asked Lin Miao to bring people over to draw blood.
The incident happened so suddenly that Dang Xia didn't have time to say a word. When he was pressed on the stool to draw blood, he didn't react at all. His smiling face was a little dazed. It was not until he saw Lin Miao standing beside him that Dang Xia came to his senses. "Are you Lin Miao? 'Lin Pei Gu Lu' Lin family?"
Lin Miao said "hmm" coldly, and then whispered something to Su Liu.
Su Liu then asked Lin Miao's assistant to draw some blood from Qi Fengling, and he also took a sip of the tea that Lin Miao handed to him.
The two vampires who were forced to draw blood looked at each other with complicated expressions.
In less than a minute, Lin Miao's men put the test tubes into a special box, and the group hurriedly saluted and left.
"You know Lin Miao? How come a nobody like you from the former 'Dawn of Tomorrow' can get in touch with Lin Miao? You are quite extraordinary," Su Liu thought of something, and laughed while tidying up the papers while watching the backs of Lin Miao and the others leaving.
Dang Xia clutched his chest and replied, "How can I say I know him? Everyone knows that the Lin family's Omegas all have some talent for medicine. The current court pharmacist is Lin Miao's biological sister. I just didn't expect Lin Miao to have been a member of 'Future Dawn'. How could a pampered nobleman like him endure the almost harsh management system of 'Future Dawn'..."
"Perhaps the intensity and resources offered by 'Dawn of Tomorrow' aren't enough for a genius like him. Otherwise, how could he have become mine?" Su Liu was speaking when he suddenly sensed something was amiss. He calmly covered his nose and pushed away Qi Fengling, who had deliberately approached him. Su Liu thought to himself: This guy is so boring! Dang Xia healed a tiny, pinprick-sized wound, but he still exudes a strong aroma that resembles vanilla, yet it's not... Su Liu felt hot, avoiding Dang Xia's probing gaze and glaring fiercely at Qi Fengling.
Qi Fengling looked at Su Liu hesitantly, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong.
A while later.
The fragrance in the air dissipated.
Su Liu breathed a sigh of relief, a thin layer of sweat already appearing on his forehead.
Dang Xia looked at Su Liu bewilderedly. Seeing that Su Liu had regained her composure, he continued, "Speaking of genius... if compared to the one from 'The Dawn of Tomorrow', perhaps Dr. Lin can only be ranked fourth... If you can poach that person, it would be like digging out the heart of the organization."
Lin Miao was only fourth? Su Liu was shocked.
"That one is the undisputed number one, a female Omega. She is said to be very powerful, but I'm not sure how old she is, what her name is, or what she looks like. Anyway, many major projects of the organization, such as the 'fake pregnancy pill', the 'pure-blood vampire anesthetic', the 'bloodline reversal agent', the 'temporary mask identity', etc., were all pioneered by her, and the others just took her achievements and continued to work on them. Among them, the 'temporary mask identity' is her hidden card to tease the resistance. This medicine can allow humans to disguise themselves as vampires for a short period of time. About 20 years ago, in 'The Dawn of Tomorrow', someone deliberately leaked the detailed ratio of this prescription to the resistance, inducing the resistance to die. It was very insidious..." Dang Xia knew everything.
"Potions similar to the 'temporary mask identity' have existed for more than a thousand years. How come she is said to have made it? I heard that so many people died because of this kind of 'looks useful, but is actually fake at first glance' potion... The yard you rented is where the incident happened." Su Liu heard Qi Fengling mention this matter when he was eating melon a few days ago.
"That's true, but this period of history a thousand years ago is too long ago for humans. Only some high-ranking members of the resistance army still have the original incomplete information. I guess it is likely that the information is vague and there may even be misleading words. In addition, the detailed prescription has been lost for many years. If the resistance army did not know the truth, they might have high hopes for it, so history repeated itself twenty years ago... However, the potion she made is different from the one that appeared in the turmoil a thousand years ago. Hers seems to be able to really deceive the public and last for half an hour." Dang Xia said.
"What's the use of half an hour? It's too dangerous. We will be fooled by the vampires later." Su Liu seemed to be standing at the end of fate, watching one living life after another step into tragedy.
"The rebels are being surrounded by both the King and 'Dawn of Tomorrow'. It's not easy for them to survive in the narrow slit. Let alone half an hour, even for a few seconds, they might try desperately. At least with this medicine, they can sneak into the vampire banquet. Moreover, since it can last for half an hour, with further research, maybe it can last for half a day, a day, or even a month?" There was a kind of understanding in Dang Xia's eyes, as if he was watching a fire from the other side of the river.
"Half an hour should be the limit that this research direction can reach," Su Liu felt a headache. The resistance army was really being fooled. This research direction had great limitations. Even if it was studied for a few hundred years, there would probably be no progress because it was a false proposition in itself.
Dang Xia nodded slightly.
Dang Xia's attitude at this moment made Su Liu immediately realize that even now, there are still idiots in the resistance army who are still studying that medicine.
No wonder I have never heard Lin Miao mention it.
...So that's how it is.
"Who are the second and third ranked ones?" Su Liu didn't want to continue that topic.
"The second is the king's court pharmacist, also a female Omega. The third is the leader of the resistance army. This person knows how to manipulate people's hearts and brainwash them. I don't know how he did it, but all the resistance soldiers are loyal to him. When I was in 'Dawn of Tomorrow', I accidentally heard some senior officials talking about that person and they avoided him as much as possible..." At this point, Dang Xia smacked his lips.
"Manipulating people's minds? Isn't that the best trick of 'Dawn of Tomorrow'? What? Are you still afraid of the 'rabble' of the resistance army?" Su Liu couldn't help but sneer.
"The thing a hunter fears most in his life is becoming a prey in the eyes of others," Dang Xia held the closed fan in his hand, turned it lightly between his knuckles, and the jade fan handle shone brightly under the golden light.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. What's the matter with that 'fake pregnancy pill'? How can it be compared with other projects?" The topic went back to the topic again. Su Liu had experienced anesthetics and reversal agents, but only this "fake pregnancy pill" made Su Liu feel vaguely that something was wrong.
"This is the most powerful project, Lord City Lord. Didn't you hear me put it first when I told you about it?" Dang Xia cleared his throat, not knowing what he was thinking. He glanced at Qi Fengling, raised his upper body and moved closer to Su Liu, slightly spreading the fan and shielding his mouth as he spoke, "The pregnancy rate in human society has always been very low. This drug is used to trick the mother into believing she is pregnant, thereby increasing the pregnancy rate. Many young and ignorant Omegas have been tricked into becoming pregnant this way."
Su Liu was extremely shocked. His eyes unconsciously looked at Qi Fengling with a hint of warning in his eyes.
There was no surprise in Qi Fengling's eyes as if he had heard about this for the first time, but only the grievance of being wrongly accused by Su Liu. He had obviously known about this kind of thing for a long time.
"Even if His Highness wants to do that to you, it's actually nothing. If you strongly refuse to accept the reality, the fake pregnancy pills will lose their effectiveness... In less than half a month, your body will be like a miscarriage." Dang Xia was watching the fun and didn't mind making trouble.
Su Liu remembered that Mu Qingting had used this trick before to trick the two Alphas Pei and Gu into fighting each other. Mu Qingting mentioned it briefly at the time and Su Liu didn't think about it too much. She didn't expect that this pill would be so terrifying.
"This... miscarriage? Will there be any damage?" Su Liu felt a sudden bitter taste in his mouth. At this moment, in addition to feeling guilty towards Mu Qingting, he couldn't help but recall the fate that Ji Lian would have experienced after being abducted and imprisoned by "The Dawn of Tomorrow" according to the original book. If this "fake pregnancy pill" was added, wouldn't Ji Lian be...
Su Liu didn't want to think about it.
He even felt that the slap the king gave him didn't hurt that much.
"This medicine looks like sugar and can be used as sugar. If you add it to dishes, rice or pastries, it will be almost impossible to prevent it... Once the mother believes she is pregnant, her body will automatically adjust to a fertile state. Then, in the next half month, which is the golden fifteen days of the drug's effectiveness, any fertile Alpha... this Omega will become pregnant. After pregnancy, the side effects of the pill will slowly disappear... But if you don't believe it and don't want to have a baby, then the Omega will automatically 'miscarry', and the side effects that come with it will be relatively large," Dang Xia said slowly.
"Not only that, if you have several 'miscarriages', not only will it be difficult to get pregnant in the future, but you will also age prematurely and die of illness," Lin Miao, who came in from outside, said coldly.
The results of the blood comparison are out.
This is also due to the thorough preliminary work, otherwise it would not have been possible to get results so quickly.
"I have just made a final comparison of the efficacy of the two healing pills: Pill No. 1 (provided by Dangxia) is only effective for vampires/human ABs. If taken by vampires/human omegas, a small dose is enough to induce estrus... and Pill No. 2 (purchased on the black market) is effective for all vampires and humans, and has no inducing effect." Lin Miao spoke in a straightforward manner like a machine.
"...The effect of No. 1? Who did you use to conduct the experiment?" Su Liu quickly picked up the teacup and smelled it. There was a faint special aroma in the fragrant tea, and Su Liu felt very hot again in an instant.
There were currently only two vampires in Spark City, one was Ji Lian, and the other was him. But even if Lin Miao guessed that Ji Lian was also a vampire, it was impossible for him to attack Ji Lian without even saying hello, bypassing Chu Liu, so...
Lin Miao gave a faint smile and glanced at the teacup in Su Liu's hand with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"You are really outrageous," Su Liu pushed the teacup away angrily. No wonder he suspected Qi Fengling of seducing him before. It turned out to be a problem with the tea.
Lin Miao lowered his head, hiding his smile, and quickly composed himself as he made his final statement: "The main ingredient of the pill is the serum of a pure-blooded Alpha."
"In that case, how long will it take you to replicate a pill with similar effects?" Su Liu gritted his teeth.
"About half a month, but I still lack a blood sample from a second-generation vampire Alpha," Lin Miao calmly made the request without any psychological burden of drugging Su Liu.
In the world view of the original book, there are only three levels of pure-blooded vampires: ancestor, second generation, and third generation. Lin Miao currently has blood samples of two different levels from Qi Fengling and Dang Xia. Logically, only the second generation is missing.
But Su Liu suspected that the king was the only vampire of the generation. It was just that it was difficult to obtain the king's blood. On the optimistic side, maybe the No. 1 and No. 2 pills were made from the king's blood...
But... would a vampire like the king be willing to donate blood for medicinal purposes?
Pharmacists are also allowed to sell it on the black market...
It's incredible.
Forget it. Lin Miao didn't know there was such a thing as the first generation anyway, so I'd just follow his wishes and get some second-generation blood for comparison. Three groups would be enough.
"...I'll give it to you in two days," Su Liu thought for a while and calculated the time. It has been a week since he sent Ji He to Pan Xuesun's care. If he continues to leave the child there without taking care of him, it would be a bit irresponsible as a "parent". He plans to set out early tomorrow morning to pick up Ji He and borrow some blood from Pan Xuesun on the way.
"Okay, I'll wait for two more days." After getting a positive response from Su Liu, Lin Miao nodded and turned around to leave.
After Lin Miao left, Dang Xia couldn't even wave his fan. He probably didn't expect that here at Su Liu, not only could he draw blood from pure-blooded vampires at will, but he could also get any level he wanted.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Su Liu finally had time to ask Dang Xia why he came.
