Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 577 The Magician of the Maghreb

Tuoba carefully checked Ji Xun's condition.It pressed its hand against the other's ear, and the black fungus penetrated into the ear canal like a thin thread.Ji Xun's eyes quickly regained focus.He glanced at Toba clearly and calmly.

"Who is that looking at me?" Toba asked. "Is it the thug who ended the Calamity House? Is it the madman who waged war on the Ageless?"

Ji Xun didn't speak.

"Is the robber who sneaked into the city awake?" Toba asked again, "Or is he still a good doctor in our family?"

This time Ji Xun moved his eyelids slightly.He smiled and pushed Tuoba away, and closed the books on the table.

"Trigger's memory repair takes a bit of a buffer," he said, "but it's a waste of time to set up that drama."

"Isn't that a good show?" Tuoba asked rhetorically, "otherwise what else can I do in this damn place? Change the furniture and decoration of the room? Change the clothes of your good brother?"

It started pacing the whole room, grabbed an empty glass, found that there was no water in it, and threw it out of the window in boredom.Ji Xun reached out to the drawer and took out a new cup from there.He shook the cup, and a stream of oasis came out from the bottom of the cup, and the ice cubes clanked inside.

He handed the drink to Toba and watched him drink it down in one gulp. "Today we also passed the question and answer." He said, "Maybe tomorrow we can pass the test of the computing center."

"You said the same thing yesterday."

"We may find a way to crack it any day."

"I hope." Toba said slowly.

Its tone hinted at its own dissatisfaction, and Ji Xun did not miss it.But he still stretched out his hand calmly, letting a book on the high shelf fly into his palm.As he flipped through the pages, he said, "Today I'm going out once."

"Find a new victim?"

"To be precise," Ji Xun replied, "I'm looking for a reformer."

Toba lifted its smock a little.Its head, which is composed of colonies, naturally presents a mockingly ferocious expression.Corrective surgery by the alien thugs hadn't fully restored it, but for a long time in the past it had struggled to display even such an expression.

"Come, good Physician," said it, "we are both revolutionaries. Look what they have done to me. My dear mother has done me a good job. They have only tasted a ten thousandth of the sweetness, would do anything for it. What do you expect the people who live in this city to do?"

"We've met a lot of interested people."

"Some people who are greedy for new things." Tuoba sneered, "You killed them all. For thousands of years, there has never been a more deadly disease in this city than you."

Ji Xun turned a deaf ear to its words.

"Anyway," Toba continued, "it's good for our plan. You make them want to leave, make them either lie or be rebellious during the question and answer. And then that thing—"

It pointed to the ceiling and continued to giggle.

"- that thing fell," it said, "and spray the floor with the high-pressure hose again. You call that a reset. Goodbye, old Lulla. Goodbye, old Abby. And poor Vi, I remember that he alone was killed by you more than 300 times..."

"He has more tendencies." Ji Xun replied.

"Yes, yes." Tuoba said with admiration, "everyone, every time you cheated. You don't feel sorry at all? Good doctor, you devil who wanders in the holy city at night, you Dirty bastard. You die wherever you go. Even if a person dies, you don't let them go. No sooner have they been redone than you sneak into their front room and steal babies. You only have That's when you can get it. Like you said—babies are the extra mass that can pass the test, and they don't have the consciousness of fleeing or telling secrets. You scattered them outside, what is this called? The one floating in the sea Stuff. Yes, I think the word is drift bottle. You disgusting butcher, thought it would bring help. But where are we now? No progress. Good doctor, someday I'll be in your ashes Pee hard on the bed."

It coldly threw the empty glass out the window.As it panted furiously, the creep spread across the wooden floor.A stench rose quickly.

Ji Xun calmly opened the drawer.He took out a tube of reagents from the small space and poured it on the place where the black fungus was overgrown.Toba let out an annoyed scream.The creeps on the ground were corroded by acid, leaving only residues smoking white smoke.

"Be patient." Ji Xun said.His voice became as steady and calm as when he lost his memory.Immediately afterwards, he also threw the test tube out of the window, and sat at the table meditating on his own.Toba stared viciously at his cold-blooded partner, but he took no action.

"I hope you're thinking of something useful to us," it whispered. "Otherwise, maybe someday you'll find yourself sleeping past midnight. The ceiling will drop when you walk into the vestibule, and you'll be with the others. People, like those you killed, were washed clean by the high-pressure water gun. Wouldn't that be a good thing for others? Or, I will arrange for you to die separately. You can be caught while fleeing, Go into the House of Ethics and make something..."

"Your understanding is wrong." Ji Xun replied, "That's not how Ethics House operates. But I'm indeed thinking about something closely related to us."

"Escape route?"

"Causal sequence."

Ji Xun had a slightly unusual look on his face, and in Tuoba's view, it almost looked like worry.

"We used a narrative to go through the Q&A," he explained. "I tried to make it as dissolvable as possible, but I still doubt that would affect the broader logic of reality."

"Everything you say is changing the house."

"I mean outside the city."

"What does that matter," said Toba, "everyone in this town is changing the arrangement of their houses. If it's going to end the world, it happened long ago."

"Yes. But only my mind has a clear understanding of the outside world." Ji Xun replied, "Recently, I have noticed some problems, about time and cause and effect..."

Tuoba didn't notice the second half of his whisper.All his attention was on the error in the first half of the sentence.

"You're not the only one." It corrected, "There's another one in this room."

It points out the window.The person mentioned by their conversation was already standing on the outer steps of the black tower, walking slowly towards the door of the study.The heterogeneous space that connects the soul is showing an unusually active state.The stars flicker faintly in the dark depths, as dense as light algae in the sea.Their respective colors distorted and merged together, making Toba put back his smock in disgust.

When Jing Huang walked into the room, the air and light in the whole room seemed to be on fire.Tuoba slid silently and swiftly to the corner, making the visitor's gaze directly on Ji Xun.Rainbow flames danced in those black eyes.

"Sit down and talk." Ji Xun said.

The cabinet in the room opened automatically, and a chair slid from inside to face the desk.The visitor was still staring at him grimly.Midnight has passed - now is the time.

The invisible fog that kept them separated began to burn.In Ji Xun's field of vision, it was as if a layer of transparent paper was swallowed by flames, and Jing Huang's light gray hospital gown was also reduced to ashes.Red spread from the center of the flame until it covered his entire body.

A young man in a red robe appeared opposite the owner.Now Jing Huang's face does not have the slightest sickness, on the contrary it glows with a gorgeous and terrifying fire.He turned his head towards Ji Xun, and the owner's hands and feet twitched uncontrollably due to severe burning pain.It wasn't until white smoke rose from his body that Jing Huang turned his head and looked out the window.

Ji Xun coughed a few times, blood poured out from his hot throat, emitting a scorched smell.His optic nerve was also damaged, and he could only see countless colorful and chaotic patches of color.

"0305," he heard the man say, "do you want to die?"
