Although Shenzhen System said that even if Cheng Guangnian once had the system, now that he has become like this, there is a high probability that the system will no longer remain in Cheng Guangnian's body.
But Cheng Yu felt that he still needed to confirm.
Therefore, when the doctors and nurses finished their work and the two nurses called by the head nurse were already in place, Cheng Yu asked the nurses on the day shift to buy something for him, then carefully closed the door of the ward and sat down with Cheng Guangnian.
around.
Stretching out his hand, Cheng Yu grabbed Cheng Guangnian's hand.
Seeing that the skin on the back of Cheng Guangnian's hand had too many wrinkles, Cheng Yu frowned slightly.
I sighed lightly in my heart, no matter how prosperous a person is, he will never be able to withstand the erosion of time. Cheng Guangnian is a powerful figure in the business world, but lying here now, he is just an ordinary man transitioning from middle age to old age.
After sighing for a while, Cheng Yu said silently in his heart: "The conversation time has run out, but no matter what, please help me check whether there is another system in my father's body."
Although such a conversation is actually against the rules, the Shenxi system seems to know that there is no need to be pretentious with Cheng Yu on such details.
After all, it was his father who was lying here, and what he said now was actually a continuation of the conversation between them last night. Cheng Yu had already mentioned that he wanted the Shenlu System to help with the investigation, and the Shenlu System had agreed at that time.
Yes, but it's just not decided yet.
The system did not send any response, but it began to extend its tentacles to Cheng Guangnian's body.
Cheng Yu felt it.
He only felt that his brain was slightly dizzy, as if a small insect had taken a small bite on his brain.
Then, he felt a slight numbness on the left side of his face.
Soon, the numbness began to become obvious and began to extend downward, as if someone took a wire and shocked Cheng Yu first, and then moved it down little by little along his muscles.
No, this is not accurate, because the numbness on the left side of the face is still there. It should be said that it is like an electric current passed to the left side of Cheng Yu's face, and then the electric current began to move forward in a certain regular way along Cheng Yu's muscles.
spread.
Just like the feeling when drinking a glass of strong wine, a line of fire flows down the throat. The difference is that Cheng Yu can clearly feel the numbness traveling in his muscles.
From the neck to the left shoulder, then the arm.
When the numbness came to his fingertips, Cheng Yu even felt a stinging pain from a needle.
The so-called ten fingers connected to the heart, this feeling is really bad.
Cheng Yu couldn't help but murmur in his heart: Do you want to make it so tragic? Are you reminding me that everything has to pay a price?
Of course the system would not answer him, and the numbness continued to affect the area between Cheng Yu's brain and the fingertips of his left hand.
Cheng Guangnian's body began to tremble slightly, but Cheng Yu understood that it was not that Cheng Guangnian was about to wake up, but that the numbness in his body was transmitted to him.
Cheng Guangnian is now at a stage where every muscle in his body is out of control, so even a slight numbness can make his body tremble.
This is actually not the body shaking, but just the muscles and skin shaking, giving people the illusion that Cheng Guangnian is moving.
The whole process lasted for more than twenty minutes.
Cheng Yu saw Cheng Guangnian's arms shaking first, then his shoulders, neck, head, then torso, abdomen...
In the end, even the tips of my toes started to tremble. If someone came in at this moment, they would definitely get scared.
By the end, even Cheng Guangnian's hair seemed to be dancing.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long. Gradually, his body calmed down and gradually returned to its previous lifeless appearance.
Cheng Yu also clearly felt that someone was holding a steel needle and inserting it hard into his fingertips.
The pain this time was even stronger than before, and Cheng Yu couldn't help but groan.
Fortunately, this kind of stinging pain is different from that of a needle. If you are pricked by a needle, the pain will continue to act. Even if it is not as painful as when the needle was first inserted, the taste will not be pleasant.
The stinging pain only lasted a moment, and was unbearable, but it ended quickly. When the numbness returned to Cheng Yu's palm, the stinging sensation had basically completely disappeared.
Cheng Yu felt the numbness again and watched helplessly as it went from his palms to his wrists, forearms, then shoulders, and finally to the left side of his face. The numbness completely disappeared.
"Found it?" Cheng Yu knew that the Shenxi system had ended its investigation.
The Shenxi system didn't say anything, but a ding sounded in Cheng Yu's head.
bite!
Cheng Yu frowned slightly and took a closer look. He saw nothing had changed on the eye-protecting green screen of the God Digging System...
Oh, no, there are changes...
The system has also said: "Congratulations to the host, the second additional task is being released..."
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and thought to himself, what mission are you giving me at this time?
The reason why Cheng Yu felt that there was no change on the light screen just now was because he did not notice that a small flashing envelope had appeared at the location representing the mission system.
Every time a blinking envelope like this appears, it means a new task has appeared.
But I didn't expect that this mission would actually be that additional mission.
The additional tasks are actually quite annoying, but at the same time, since the tasks are quite long, as long as they can be completed in advance, the benefits are still very good.
However, how could Cheng Yu have any intention to complete the task at this time?
"Please, it's not like you don't know what condition I'm in right now, why would you issue me a mission at this time? Besides, I'm just sitting here and doing nothing, so why would the mission be triggered?"
The system's voice reappeared: "To trigger a task, you must have the necessary conditions to trigger the task. The host does not need to tangle with me on this matter."
"Uh... Okay, okay, you're right. But don't you think it's inhumane to issue a useless mission at this time?"
"Firstly, the triggering conditions of the task have been met, and the task will inevitably be released. Secondly, the accumulated conversation time of the host is simply not enough to complete everything I just found on your father. At this time, a system task is triggered, and the host
You should be happy. Only when the task is triggered can you have the opportunity to talk to me!"
Well……
Okay, okay, you really make sense.
"Well, how about we first talk about what you discovered about my father?"
"Since additional tasks can be rejected, I cannot freely talk to the host before the task is accepted."
Cheng Yu's face was covered with black lines.
Women's mouth!
Isn’t it okay for me to accept the mission?
Cheng Yu had no choice but to click on the flashing small envelope pattern, and the envelope slowly unfolded...
The envelope changed into a piece of stationery, just like the first time he encountered the additional task. Cheng Yu only saw the words "Additional task two, task object: Cheng Guangnian" written on it, and below it appeared directly asking Cheng Guangnian.
Yu confirm button whether to accept the task.
In order to have a smooth conversation with the system, Cheng Yu of course chose to accept it!
Of course, he actually has another option, which is not to accept the task, work hard to stay up, and wait until the dialogue time reaches a certain stage before talking to the system.
However, in general, additional tasks are beneficial to Cheng Yu, especially since the task target this time is directly Cheng Guangnian, Cheng Yu seems to have no reason not to accept it.
After selecting the accept button, Cheng Yu saw the handwriting on the envelope changed again, and the system asked Cheng Yu to enter the task system to learn the details of the task.
After clicking on the mission system, Cheng Yu entered.
The mission system was still the same as before, and a tree that looked like a tree of life suddenly appeared in Cheng Yu's mind.
Additional tasks, as the name suggests, are not phased tasks normally released by the system, but unique tasks generated after meeting a series of harsh conditions.
The biggest advantage of this kind of task is that even if the task is not completed, there will be no punishment.
The price is that after the mission fails, the corresponding mission duration will be deducted, but this is also the life duration consumed by Cheng Yu. The only difference is that during the execution phase of the additional mission, it is a non-digging time period, and Cheng Yu cannot take advantage of it.
Points will be increased during this time.
The second benefit of additional tasks is that the life duration of the task reward will be doubled.
Cheng Yu was not in a hurry to check the task content. After all, having chosen to accept the task meant that he could already start a conversation with the system.
The target of the task is Cheng Guangnian. Everything about Cheng Guangnian can be regarded as a reasonable question.
So, Cheng Yu allowed a copy-like space to appear next to the tree of life. There was still an envelope flashing slightly, and he directly asked the system.
"Can we talk now?"
"Does the host need to know anything about the mission?"
The system is still strict and it cannot violate the rules.
Cheng Yu asked: "What did you find on my father just now?"
"I conducted a cell-level investigation of your father's body, and I didn't find that your father's body structure was any different from ordinary people.
Of course, his vitality is very strong, and his genetic structure is also quite advanced, and he has basically reached the level of genetically eliminating all visible diseases on earth."
Cheng Yu's eyes lit up slightly and he continued to ask: "That means that this coincides with our previous speculation. My father's genes have indeed been modified?"
"According to the current technological level of the earth, this possibility only exists. After all, the earth does not yet have the relevant genetic technology."
"Don't try this with me. Just tell me directly, is the way my father's genes are composed the same as the way the so-called genetic technology was used on the planet you used to have?"
The system replied: "Judging from the combination pattern of genes, it is indeed consistent with the combination of genetic technology. But this does not mean..."
"Okay, I don't need your judgment, I just need you to state the answer to the question."
"Your father's gene combination is 100% consistent with the gene combination pattern of the genetic technology in my memory bank."
Cheng Yu snapped his fingers. Based on this alone, he could almost conclude that there was at least a system in Lao Cheng's body.
Moreover, both that system and the God System were born on the same planet in the universe, or they were simply created by intelligent creatures on Earth billions of years ago.
In other words, the creator of the system that once existed in Cheng Guangnian's body was a natural enemy of the creator of the Shenhu system.
"Any other discoveries?"
"There are no more discoveries. I have penetrated into every cell of your father's body. There is nothing abnormal in his body. I have not been able to detect the existence of any abnormal bioelectric currents. In other words, there is absolutely no system attached to your father.
inside the body."
"That doesn't mean he didn't own the system, does it?"
"This is a purely speculative question and I cannot answer the host."
Cheng Yu nodded slowly and said: "But at least it is certain that there is nothing wrong with my father's body, and his health is far beyond ordinary people. He should not have fallen into a coma, right?"
"From a data perspective, you can say that.
However, the human brain...
Well, it should be said that the brains of all highly intelligent creatures are materials with infinite possibilities.
Including the planet where the system once resided, its technological level was at least thousands of years ahead of the Earth's, but the creators of the system still failed to explore all the functions of the brain.
Therefore, in the current system's memory bank, I can only judge that it should not fall into a coma."
Cheng Yu snapped his fingers again and said: "Very good. However, does this mean that the Divine Picking System is not as good as the system my father once had? After all, it can make my father fall into a coma for no reason, and you don't even know the reason.
Can’t find out.”
The system was silent for a moment and replied: "The host does not need to use this provoking method. I am just a program. The provoking method is invalid for me. However, I can tell the host that the system cannot determine the cause of your father's coma. But I am.
A total of one hundred and eight locked gene chains were found in your father's body."
"Gene chain? Locked? What does this mean?"
The system paused for a moment and finally said: "With the host's knowledge, I cannot use an accurate description to make the host understand.
But to give a crude analogy, it is like a person is tied to 108 iron ropes, and the joints of each iron rope are fastened with locks. This means that 108 keys are needed to open it.
Corresponding locks can be used to unlock the one hundred and eight iron ropes."
Cheng Yu curled his lips and said, "Don't pretend to be sophisticated with me. It's not that I don't know what a gene chain is, and it's not that I don't know what being locked is. It's just that I don't understand the specific direction of your words.
Although Earth's technology has indeed not reached the level of unlocking the gene chain, we have already had fantasy in this regard.
Many superpowers are based on the idea of unlocking the gene chain.
What you just said is actually not to say that my father's genetic chain was not locked originally, but due to external forces, someone locked part of his genetic chain.
So, those one hundred and eight locked gene chains are the cause of his coma, right?"
"To be precise, this is just one of the possibilities."
"Yes, this is just one of the possibilities. But when we reject all other possibilities, or there is no second possibility at all, this possibility must be a reality."
"Well, according to the settings of detectives on your planet, the host's statement is true."
Cheng Yu curled his lips again, disapproving of the ambiguity of the system.
However, what the system said was pretty good. What Cheng Yu said just now did indeed come from some detectives.
Among detectives, a similar saying is often mentioned, saying that after all impossible clues are removed, the remaining clue, no matter how ridiculous, must be the truth of the case.
Cheng Yu changed it slightly and it became the sentence just now.
The gene chain has been artificially locked!
Cheng Yu said to himself.
Then, he suddenly got excited!
Damn it!
The genetic chain is locked!
Damn it, the additional task the system has released for me this time is not to unlock the gene chain, right?
This is simply impossible!
Cheng Yu thought sadly that he seemed to be able to only pray for this additional task. The shorter the task duration, the better. In this way, the period of time he would face would be very short. Otherwise, if the task duration is as long as one or two years,
Isn’t it true that Cheng Yu won’t be able to earn any points within a year or two?
However, one or two years is still considered light. If it really takes three to five years, Cheng Yu's points are not even enough to be deducted. Doesn't that mean that Cheng Yu only has the life left for the duration of the mission?
Moreover, if this task is to unlock the gene chain, it is obviously extremely difficult according to the current technological level of the earth.
For such a difficult task, it doesn’t seem impossible that the task lasts three to five years!
Cheng Yu couldn't help but panic.
Fortunately, the system said something very rude: "The host does not need to worry unfounded. The system will never issue tasks that exceed the current level of the earth's technology tree."
Well, I have to say, it smells really good!
Cheng Yu chuckled and said: "Humans are prone to random thoughts. This is also one of the mysteries of the brain, right? The target of the mission is my father. There is a genetic chain that has been artificially locked in his body, so he has to let people
Make such an association."
"As for the content of the mission, the host is asked to check it out by himself. I will not disclose anything."
Cheng Yu rolled his eyes and asked again: "So, my dad's vitality is very strong, but one hundred and eight gene chains are locked, so he is unconscious. As long as I can unlock the locks on his gene chains
, will he wake up?"
"The conditions mentioned by the host cannot deduce the reason why your father is unconscious. However, the last sentence of the host is correct. As long as you can solve the problems, your father can indeed wake up."
"Don't mince words with me. But it's obvious that Earth's technology cannot do this. Therefore, without external intervention, my father will definitely remain in a coma."
"If it is not unlocked, given your father's physical health, even if you don't supplement him with any nutrients, he should be able to live to be over eighty years old in a coma in a hospital bed."
"Damn! Can you live thirty years without eating?"
"Although his cells are still active and his vitality is still strong, the consumption of his body has been reduced to a minimum. With sufficient oxygen supplementation, thirty years is only a conservative estimate."
"Can you live with a mouth of air? This is God!" Cheng Yu exclaimed, "What if we supply him with enough nutrient solution according to the current method?"
"It is conservatively estimated that your father's life span will be more than 120 years."
Cheng Yu nodded, then sighed and said, "To be honest, your enemy's system is much more excessive and cruel than yours. The punishment for mission failure is not to be directly wiped out, but to have its genetic chain locked.
, causing him to fall into a coma and unable to wake up. After decades of coma, I don’t know if his brain can still function. If his consciousness is actually awake, then he will die of depression? "
As Cheng Yu was talking, he suddenly realized a problem...
Is it possible that Lao Cheng's consciousness is awake?
This sudden thought shocked Cheng Yu!
He thought about it carefully and found that it was pretty good. Although he had some strange behaviors when he was alone with Cheng Guangnian, in general, it should not be enough for others to judge that he also had a system.
"Tell me, is it possible that my dad is actually conscious?"
