Chapter 510: The House of Unity of Life
There was mist in the pool. Su Ming and Xia Xiaoyu were sitting in the huge bathtub, chatting through the thick steam.
"Actually, there is one thing I have never figured out," said Xia Xiaoyu.
"What's up?"
"Do you remember the USB drive I took from Zuoran-kun?"
"Remember, what's wrong? Didn't you say it was fake?"
"Well, it's fake. Before her memory was restored, she told me that before I lost my memory, not only could humans not see me, but even monsters couldn't see me. Now that I have restored my memory, I do remember that I could make monsters unable to see me, but the problem is that I can't do it now."
Su Ming was stunned, and immediately became serious: "Why haven't you mentioned this to me before?"
"Because it's unnecessary and useless, and I have a little idea." Xia Xiaoyu said while playing with water.
Su Ming listened to the sound of water through the mist and imagined Xia Xiaoyu's figure on the other side.
"It's probably because fewer people have gained my power." Xia Xiaoyu said, "I remember that from the time I left the Mysterious Eye until I lost my memory, I could prevent the monsters from seeing me. But after a while after I lost my memory, some monsters could see me, and then all the monsters could see me."
"Is this an active skill?"
"Well, I could choose before, that's what I remember."
"That's quite interesting. It means that it's possible that you will become an ordinary normal person in the end." Su Ming thought, stroking his chin.
"Su Ming."
"Um?"
"I say...if I become a normal person, will you still be with me?"
"Idiot, do you think I'm with you because no one can see you?"
"But if I can be seen by others, I will be a useless person. An ordinary person like me will only be a burden to you."
Su Ming looked at Xia Xiaoyu. Although he couldn't see clearly, he seemed to be able to feel the other person's melancholy.
He sighed.
"I don't really like cheesy words, but I can tell you that I will always be with you."
"Hey, what's wrong with saying some cheesy things? Girls like to hear sweet words. Don't you want to make me happy?"
"There are many ways to make you happy, why should I choose this one that makes me uncomfortable?"
After that, Su Ming changed the subject and said, "Just now, I thought about why the people from the Mysterious Eye came here to die."
"Let's talk about it tomorrow? I want to sleep, and my head is a little dizzy from soaking in the water." Xia Xiaoyu muttered.
Su Ming sighed and stopped discussing the serious topic. He stood up, walked to the other side of the bathtub, picked up Xia Xiaoyu and went back to the room.
…
After Gabriel was captured alive by Su Ming, Ambrose became the de facto leader of Mystic Eye, while the people at the lower levels of the organization still believed that Dax was the leader who replaced Gabriel.
Ambrose's method of plotting against Su Ming was simple, and that was through the indirect influence of non-hostile people.
He sent a group of people who had no chance of defeating Su Ming to fight with Su Ming. His purpose was to make Su Ming follow the predetermined route he had set, rather than relying on luck and thinking that these people could kill Su Ming.
Hunting Su Ming requires bait, like luring a wolf into a trap by placing meat piece by piece, but the person placing the meat cannot be a hunter, and cannot know that there is a trap at the end. In this way, Su Ming, the wolf, will eat the meat piece by piece.
"Next, we just need to deal with Song Liufeng's matter." Ambrose muttered to himself.
"Oh, by the way, I also need to go to the laboratory to check the situation." He suddenly became excited.
The fragments of the Chaos Demon's magic core were a completely new energy source that he was completely unaware of. This material, which could transfer the demon's own deterrent power to other creatures, might be a local specialty of this plane and was very valuable for research.
When Gabriel was still there, he had no way of knowing the details of the experiment and the specific technology, but now that Gabriel has left, and no one in the Mystical Eye has the ability to solve the problem of Su Ming, Dax naturally had to place all his hopes on him, and the manufacturing technology of the Chaos Demon was naturally known to him.
Ambrose went out and took the elevator underground, entering the Heart of Chaos laboratory.
This is the second laboratory. The first laboratory on Dragon Island has been destroyed by Su Ming. Therefore, the laboratory in this place is the one with the most comprehensive technology and the largest number of samples.
As soon as I entered the laboratory, an old man with white hair and a white coat came forward.
"How's the experiment going?"
"Thanks to your suggestion last time, the progress has been very fast! Now it can be integrated, but the will and emotions are still in a disordered state."
"Really? Take me to see it."
Before Ambrose came into contact with the Heart of Chaos experimental project, the greatest achievement of the Heart of Chaos was the experimental subjects numbered one to one hundred who possessed human intelligence. These experimental subjects were very close to humans, but all of them had serious emotional defects and only looked like humans on the surface.
On this basis, if a subject devours the core of another subject, then that subject will have the same emotional and personality defects as the other subject that was devoured. That is, the emotional defects will continue to overlap, and in the end the subject will even lose reason.
This phenomenon directly led to Gabriel's inability to fuse large pieces of chaos fragments into a single organism. Before being caught by Su Ming, he had been trying to break through this bottleneck.
Ambrose pointed out a new research path to everyone in the laboratory, which was to directly carry out physical fusion.
Save the memory personalities of both creatures, and then find a way to merge the two together so that there is no distinction between the primary and the secondary.
For example, the time traveler travels to the body of a native of the current plane and gains the native's memories and emotions, but at the same time does not have the awareness that the time-traveling personality is the main personality. As a result, this body has new cognitive problems. How to recognize this problem is also a brand new problem.
Generally, there are two situations. One is that the body feels that it is a time traveler, but it only has the memories of a native. The other is that the body feels that it is a native, but it only has the memories of a time traveler.
What Ambrose wanted was the third situation. He hoped that the creature after the fusion would not regard itself as any one party, but as a brand new newborn who only gained the memories of the other two fused creatures.
The advantage of doing this is that the emotional defects of the experimental subjects may gradually be compensated for as they merge and eventually return to normal.
In fact, whether the experimental subject is normal is not a big problem. What Ambrose really wants is a creature that is strong enough and has reason. He hopes to have such a creature as a bargaining chip to defeat Su Ming, and protecting the experimental subject's feelings is only for this purpose.
"Take me to see it."
"Okay, follow me."
The old scientist took Ambrose through laboratories and through cold corridors. Along the way, Ambrose saw many failed experimental samples that he had never seen before, such as soft-bodied creatures that crawled on the ground like spiders and squids, and mammals with healthy limbs but could only move by crawling.
The old scientist noticed Ambrose's gaze and said casually, "There are very few fragments in these samples, maybe only a few milligrams, so they don't show the characteristics that the fragments should have. But as long as time is long enough, they will slowly mutate.
Generally speaking, the situation is bad. For example, the lion whose limbs cannot move will probably die soon.
As for the squid-like spider you saw, it is quite alive and has slightly more debris in its body.”
"I'm not here to see these things." Ambrose said with a sullen face.
The old scientist nodded, said nothing more, and took Ambrose to a room, which was a monitoring room. Through the surveillance video, one could see a man... or woman sitting in a glass room.
He looks a bit like a man and a bit like a woman. The left side of his face is masculine, while the right side has very feminine lines. The skin at the junction in the middle of his face is completely distorted, and the shape of his skull also looks wrong.
He had a severe hunchback, with his back bulging like a camel, covered with tumors with holes in the middle, which bulged and sank like breathing.
"Fortunately, we have that thing you brought. Otherwise, with our current technology, it would be impossible to fuse these creatures together." The old scientist flattered cautiously.
What Ambrose brought them was a shelter they had never heard of before, a simple foldable glass house that was ten meters long, wide and high.
Just put any creature in it, and in the end they will become one, just like now.
However, there is also a high chance of death.
After various tests, it was found that the cause of death was not the compatibility of the physical body, but the compatibility of the spirit, that is, whether the thoughts of both parties were in conflict.
More detailed aspects are still being tested. There was once an experiment where three creatures were placed in the same glass house for fusion, but so far it has only been successful once, and the product of the fusion completely lost its self-awareness.
"How is it?" asked Ambrose.
"We are currently conducting a psychological test on it. These are the results of the psychological test before the two people merged. We will use this to determine who has the ultimate control over their consciousness." said the old scientist.
Ambrose nodded slightly and said, "Turn up the volume. I want to listen."
The technician turned up the volume, and the voices of the subjects and testers became clear.
"Who are you?"
"Number 71? Or number 80? I don't know. It could be both."
"What do you think of humans?"
"Human? An animal... well, it should be an animal."
"An animal that is similar to you? Like, one that can communicate with you?"
"Not at all. It's just an animal, no different from a lion or tiger."
"Are you sure? Need to think about it again?"
"Don't think about it, it's just an animal."
"What about your father? Your father is also human."
"Father is different. He created us and gave us life."
"How do you distinguish between humans? The body? If it's the body, you have no peers at all. Each of you has a very different body."
"No, it's the spirit."
"Spirit... um, spirit, how can we judge from the spirit? You and I can communicate normally, so we should have something in common, right?"
"You are just asking me questions, just like a starling repeating human words. In its eyes, the words humans say are almost the same as those it says." said the subject.
"But this bird is simply imitating, while we understand."
"The same, just to a different degree." The subject said again.
Ambrose, who was watching all this in the monitoring room, had a smile on his face. He thought this experimental subject was very interesting, and seemed to have good logical thinking and thoughts of his own.
"Do you think humans are superior to you?" the researcher asked again.
The subject was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "Now it is."
Ambrose couldn't help but ask the old scientist beside him: "Has it ever been tested for intelligence?"
"Yes, it did, and its intelligence test scores were very good." The old scientist pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose. "The two samples before it was fused were bred by humans, so its thinking is actually very close to humans, at least that's what we think, but it doesn't consider itself a human at all."
"So that's how it is." Ambrose nodded in sudden realization, "What about its superpowers? Have you ever tested its superpowers?"
"Possessing two superpowers, and the strength of both superpowers has become stronger." said the scientist.
Ambrose showed a satisfied smile. This result was within his expectations. The fusion of memory and body, and of course superpowers could also be fused. This was a characteristic of the [House of Life Unity] he brought with him, provided that the fusion was successful.
After the two experimental subjects successfully merged, the content of Chaos Magic Stone fragments in their bodies also increased, which also meant an increase in abnormality. The increase in abnormality is naturally accompanied by an increase in the strength of superpowers, which is all natural.
"Very good! If everything goes well, we can even create the most powerful creature in this plane! I just don't know what will happen if this creature fights that invincible guy."
"Continue the experiment. By the way, can those previous experimental subjects be mass-produced? After all, we have made numbers one to one hundred." Ambrose asked.
"In a short period of time... it's still not possible. Not everyone can survive."
"How long will it take?"
"Um... time is not a problem, the main issue is the number of these people." The old scientist hesitated and couldn't say it.
Some of the people who did the experiments were volunteers, some were criminals, but there were basically no ordinary people. This was a rule that Gabriel had specially set to take care of the feelings of these ordinary scientific fanatics.
But Ambrose is different. As one of the captains of the Plane Plundering Group, he believes in the law of the jungle. In his eyes, the number of people is not a problem at all.
