Superpowers of Sky City

Chapter 406 Physicians do not heal themselves (4)

When Gongsun Ce and Zhenfan returned to Bainiao City, it was already night.After discussing with his teammates, he decided to strike while the iron was hot. Tonight, he went to find out the details of Dr. Booli, and made a second visit with the doctor.

It was still the unfortunate Mr. Purdys who greeted them, with the red marks still lingering on his face.

"I'm surprised, Mr. Gongsun." Podis said awkwardly, "I thought you would lose interest in negotiating with the Patriarch."

"The next ultimatum says that if you don't show me the totem, you will smash the Bird City?" Gongsun Ce said with a smile, "No, Mr. Poddis. I have always had a good temper, so it is not worth getting angry over such a trivial matter." .”

Podis swallowed, restrained his curiosity, and didn't ask what was the relationship between the red-mouthed Masamo who was holding Gongsun Ce's arm and him.He led the two of them to the confidential laboratory on the 66th floor, and then retreated quietly. Dr. Baioli, who got the news, came with an unusual enthusiasm, took Maho's hand and sat down in the white-toned room.

"So you are Maho Chiguchi." Dr. Booli's eyes sparkled, she was so excited that even Gongsun Ce at the side completely ignored her, "How far can you control your body? I know you can control it." Directed mutation of organs, complete directed transformation between animals and plants, and even improved life forms that do not exist in the real world... But how accurate is your ability? Cells? DNA? Can you directly modify genetic information?"

Mafan didn't care about the other party's young appearance, she directly withdrew her hand, and said coldly: "Your question has nothing to do with my work."

"I'm so sorry... I've always wanted to meet you directly, I'm a little excited!" Booli didn't seem to feel offended at all, she walked into the depths of the laboratory, and walked out holding several translucent liquid culture medium .Several deformed mother organs were floating in the green liquid. The distorted shape looked like a liver with teeth and a brain combined with a heart, making Gongsun Ce subconsciously unhappy.

"It's a simple deal!" Dr. Booli announced happily, "Make a directional mutation of these parts according to my requirements, and after I confirm the effect, the Daddarion family will be involved in the upcoming struggle." Give you all the support you need.”

"excuse me……"

As soon as Gongsun Ce spoke, he was interrupted by the doctor.

"I can represent everyone in this state, boy." Dr. Baioli sneered, "I'm the head of the family."

"I have no problem." Gongsun Ce spread his hands casually, and handed over the time to Zhen Fan and Bai Oli.He listened to the exchange between the two, "Refer to the miniaturized structure of the old tree model in Bainiao City", "artificial skin model for the purpose of high-efficiency photosynthesis", "integrated system combined with thinking to maintain life"...all of them Some academic words that made him feel dizzy just listening to them.

Gongsun Ce had no choice but to focus on the expressions of the two, and found that Dr. Booli became more and more excited as he talked, and his eyes were full of excitement in pursuit of dreams, and it was difficult to pretend that emotion through acting skills.However, Zhenfan's attitude changed from that deliberate indifference to a kind of composure that was a little strange to him, which was an expression she had never shown in front of Gongsun Ce.

"...How?" After a long list of words, the doctor took a few breaths and said excitedly, "Can you do it?"

Zhen Fan cast a hesitant look at Gongsun Ce, and Gongsun Ce gently wrote "According to your ideas" in her palm with telekinetic power.

"I can." Maho said.Dr. Booli's young face showed ecstasy that didn't match the appearance, but before she had time to laugh, she heard Maho's next sentence.

"But abandon the project, it has no chance of success."

"What did you say?!" Dr. Booli squealed, "You can't even do what I want—"

"Restore the special structure of the plant-like giant dragon with the characteristics of wooden equipment, rely on the directional variability and assimilation properties of the wooden mechanical prosthesis to gradually replace human tissues, and complete a theoretically perfect body." Zhenfan said, "Sai A similar experiment had been attempted by Seale's lab six months earlier, and it was a total failure, which the Doctor himself called 'the natural end'."

Booli stood up abruptly, her face flushed with excitement: "Lena Cecil failed?! Why?! The reason!? This is the most feasible direction at present!"

"Because the life form of giant dragons is completely different from that of humans." Masavan explained, "You should understand that this is not an effect that can be achieved by simply reproducing the structure. The mechanism for dragons to achieve immortality is a mechanism that can only be achieved within their bodies. , the phenomenon of perpetual motion that violates the basic laws of logic and physics, we call it 'hyperlogic loop'.

It is fundamentally incompatible with human beings, or even with the world we live in.Once the will of human beings occupies a dominant position in similar life systems, the hyperlogical cycle cannot be established, and all efforts are in vain. "

Bai Oli circled anxiously on the spot, raised and lowered her hand several times, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her eyes: "What about Yu Genmi's immortality experiment then?! Relying on clones to continuously transfer consciousness—"

"It's also impossible." Maho said calmly, "The essence of the soul, that is, the aura of impermanence, will produce irreversible consumption in this process. According to Shigure's evaluation, Shigure's plan can at most Gaining nearly 180 years for ordinary people is the limit of the existence of the clear Dharma Envoy in the most ideal state."

Dr. Booli collapsed on the sofa, her eyes dimmed, as if something that had been supporting her was about to go out.That was the driving force for her to firmly show herself in a young state and to devote herself to scientific research like a young man.At this moment, Bai Oli was like an old man who had heard the bad news, and his pitiful appearance made Gongsun Ce want to comfort her.

But then, less than a second later, her eyes brightened again, and the fire was not extinguished but burned even more vigorously.She firmly grasped Maho's hand, stuttered, and begged like a child: "But we still have you! You are still here, Maho Chiguchi!! Your ability... that comes from the eternal source of the truly supreme , directly control the power of life! You are the only one among the existing dragon species that can touch the essence of eternal life, and he gave you such power!!"

"Doctor, please pay attention to the etiquette." Maho wanted to pull out his hand again, but Booli held on to her tightly.The juvenile old man kept talking: "Your identity is still human! If you reproduce the structure of the dragon in your body, you may rely on that power to complete the super logical cycle as a human!

Do you understand what that means?You can be the first human ever to achieve immortality, the Eternal King has given you this chance - a unique chance!You will become an immortal light in the history of biochemical technology development, and you can provide an absolutely correct direction for all researchers... as long as you do it, child!As long as you successfully transform into a dragon, we have the possibility of reappearing! "

Maho pulled out his hand resolutely, and gently pushed the old man away.

"I don't want to become a dragon, Dr. Booli." She said, "The experiment of immortality is not feasible in the current environment. We should all focus on the present, rather than pursuing an impossible eternity."

"You don't want to?" Booli repeated in shock, "You said you didn't want to?"

"I'm not interested in this." Maho emphasized.

She gently pinched her fingertips with her nails, and Dr. Booli's morbid expectation put a lot of pressure on her, reminding her of the fanatical faces of the instructors deep in her memory.

Baioli breathed hard, trying to calm himself down.But her emotions suddenly exploded, raging like a crazy fire: "Then what biochemical research are you still doing? You have the opportunity to break the impossible and achieve miracles but you don't try, so what kind of researcher are you!"

Maho's expression was unprecedentedly serious, and her words were also filled with intense emotion: "What will I do if I fail? It's a trivial matter for me to lose my rationality. What will happen if the Eternal Sovereign descends to the world? You have the risk of eradicating all this. Is it insurance?"

"Only looking at risk will make you unable to move forward!"

"An experiment that doesn't even consider the basic feasibility is a delusion!" Zhenfan was really angry, "Only thinking about your own pursuit, ignoring the soil of reality, and working hard in the direction of fantasy with all your heart, that obsession will lead to malicious madness. I, who was born on Zero Island, know it all too well. This unrealistic rampage is not an experiment at all, it’s just another Shigure plan, another Chiguchi plan, and another wild idea that caused a catastrophe!"

"That's enough, it's not up to you little girl to teach me what science is!" Baioli yelled furiously, "You really disappoint me, that stupid bitch Lena Cecil is better than you Like a scholar!"

Baioli sat back on the sofa, panting heavily.She took a mouthful of ice-cold juice for herself, but instead coughed violently.

"Cough cough..."

Her aggressive demeanor faded with a cough.She seemed to have calmed down, looked into Maho's eyes, and spoke with an almost pleading attitude.

"Son. You have to think again. Your strength and wooden equipment can open up possibilities for people on the entire planet... Think about why you came to this industry? Think about why you became a researcher?"

Maho wanted to tell a lie, but she couldn't bear to give the old man false hope.

"For money and status." Maho said.

The glass was smashed into pieces on the ground, and the glass shards were soaked in an orange-yellow liquid. "Get out." Baioli Daddarion roared, "You are not worthy of being a researcher. The Daddarion family will never provide you with any help!"

Maho was also enraged, her right hand clenched into a fist.

"You can say whatever you want. I don't want to do this kind of immoral and crazy job!"

The doctor stormed out through the door, and Dr. Booli slammed the inner door of the laboratory shut.Gongsun Ce, the host and guest, sat alone on the sofa and sighed helplessly.

He tidied up the mess with telekinetic power, walked out the door, and saw Mr. Poddis with a guilty face in the corridor.

"...I'm sorry." Poddis looked sad, "Doctor, she... Mother, she was not like this in the past... Sigh!"

"For the elderly, it's normal to have a weird temper." Gongsun Ce smiled reassuringly, "You children who deal with the aftermath are always the hardest."

He walked out of the company gate and called his girlfriend.

"Hey, miss? Let's eat first tonight. Sister Zhenfan has some problems with career planning, so I will accompany her to relax."

·
Bainiao City, which is full of plants, can be called the largest urban park in the world. Gongsun Ce found Zhenfan in an open space hidden under the shade of greenery.She was sitting on the swing, her eyes full of boredom and sorrow.

"Sorry." Maho said, "It's messed up."

Gongsun Ce stopped behind her, watching the children playing football not far away.

"It's okay. Before I went, I knew that this trip would probably be boring. I invited you to find out about this person." He reached out to push the swing, and the corner of the woman's skirt fluttered in the night wind. "But I didn't expect you to lose control of your emotions. Have you held back for a long time?"

"I wanted to change careers two months ago." Maho said in a low voice, "After Ayane came back, the memories of the Akaguchi project became vivid, and every time I was in the laboratory, I wondered whether my work had assisted other legitimate Reasonable inhumane experiment. You know what they're up to, and the white coats are never good people."

"You didn't think about it so much before."

"I will think about it now." The doctor sighed sullenly, "I want to just be a doctor, help you treat your wounds, and occasionally help you treat minor illnesses such as colds. I just work for money and status, Se That idiot woman Searle scolded me every day for this, and now I am on a business trip in Hezhong, and I still have to be scolded by her teacher. Wanting to be an ordinary person is really a heinous crime."

"Scientists always have their fanaticism, and you, who are so talented and have common sense, are as intolerable to them as heretics." Gongsun Ce patted her on the shoulder, "But you are right, Excessive fanaticism can only lead to tragedy, and we've seen it all too often."

Maho held onto the swing rope tightly, remembering the conversation she had with the doctor before she left. "Booli? She's useless." Dr. Cecil said disdainfully, "She and you are two extremes. You have no enthusiasm, and she is driven crazy by her own enthusiasm."

At that time, she thought that Dr. Cecil had once again made a mistake of self-righteousness. Now it seems that the doctor's judgment is correct.Dr. Cecil's decision not to inform his teacher of the research results is actually a pity in today's eyes.Maho can imagine what the doctor would say: Let her spend time on the road she thinks is feasible, lest she be even more crazy after seeing the reality clearly.

"Booli Daddarion's eyes are exactly the same as that of the instructor at that time. She is dangerous, the kind of person who will use any means for her own ends."

Gongsun Ce patted her on the shoulder: "I understand. I will be careful."

His promise put the doctor at ease.Worry about career and life once again filled his mind, Maho raised his head and leaned slightly against his chest.

"I'm so annoying." She closed her eyes, "Everyone has found what they should do, but I'm still confused."

Once upon a time, she was the most mature and reliable superpower user, but suddenly everyone was on the right track, but she became much weaker than before.Being a cold-faced and ruthless "doctor" will not have such troubles. If you make up your mind to be an ordinary Maho, you can stay away from chores, but now she has become wobbly, like a sunny doll hanging by a rope at the door, blowing with the wind. Swaying but not knowing where I really want to go.

Maho suddenly felt that there was nothing behind her, and someone walked up to her without anyone noticing, and pulled her up from the swing. "Let's go!" Gongsun Ce dragged her to the street, "It's meal time, let's go eat something to improve our mood!"

"Are you a child?" Maho laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Children are always happier than adults." Gongsun Ce replied with a bright smile, "I'll treat you to whatever you want!"

While speaking, he led the woman down the steps, and quickly shuttled through the streets and alleys of Bainiao City.The green and brown trees everywhere make Maho think that he is in the middle of the jungle for a moment, but the humid air is full of human fireworks.The dark-skinned locals strolled around under the shade of the greenery, and the fast-paced and anxious citizens of the city of the sky could not be seen in their behavior.Two visitors from foreign lands ran among the crowd, catching the attention of onlookers, but the gray-haired young man who was pulling her didn't care, only laughed loudly.

A smile appeared on Maho's face unconsciously, such simple running is always very pleasant, the light wind blowing on his face seems to blow away all the troubles, as if he blended into the environment while running and turned into a whole body. A carefree wind.
