Chu Zihang stood by the river under the willow tree, silently looking at his dark brown eyes in the reflection of the lake. In his memory, the never-extinguished golden eyes returned to their normal color, no longer needing beauty or contact lenses to cover them up.
.
He couldn't remember how long it had been since he saw the original color of these childlike eyes. Ever since the accident occurred due to the use and connection of the bloodline refining technology, he had become familiar with the childlike eyes of himself in the mirror. He stood there every night before going to bed.
In front of the bathroom mirror, I always feel that what is staring at me is an evil ghost that may lose control at any time and prey on others.
"So how long will this state last?" Chu Zihang asked sideways.
"It can range from a month to half a year. The duration will depend on the effect of the treatment. During this period, your bloodline will be in a state of silence due to the continuation of the treatment cycle, and all dominant dragon genes will be transformed.
Because you are invisible, this is also the period when you are most vulnerable." Sitting on a bench on the stone road not far behind Chu Zihang, Li Qiuluo turned his back to the boy and put his left hand on the back of the chair, "Actually, people like you usually appear on the surface.
Such a high degree of dragon transformation symbolizes that the state of the 'Fallen Angel' is approaching the late stage. For hybrids at this stage, we generally recommend euthanasia. It is incredible that you can successfully enter the treatment cycle.
Miracle."
"Dragon transformation phenomenon...Actually, these are all symptoms of Deadpool transformation." Chu Zihang, who was standing by the lake, turned his head and asked, "Does this also mean what you call 'Fallen Angel'?"
"Hundreds of years ago, when the people's wisdom was still uncivilized, there were often people of mixed race among the people who blindly followed the dragon totem, drank dragon blood, ate dragon meat, exchanged dragon bones, and did everything they could to build the tomb of the Three Tribulations and make
Sacrifice of flesh and blood, just to ascend and transform into dragons, is to regard dragons as the only immortal gods in the world. However, the final result of these fanatics is to lose their human form and self-destruct. The only closest success is that the bloodline collapses and degenerates into a dragon.
The Deadpool, who has only an appearance, has two wings and a complete armor and stomach due to the dragon transformation, giving him a three-part dragon look. Others think that he is half-stepping into the divine machine. His body has embarked on the road to immortality, but his spirit has been left behind.
He fell into the abyss, so he was left in the history books as a 'fallen angel' or an 'evil fairy'."
Li Qiuluo said, "This statement has been used to this day. It doesn't have much meaning in updating and iteration. It's just an elegance."
Chu Zihang looked at his right hand. Five slender and powerful fingers were gently bent and then clenched into a fist. The power contained in it was far beyond the baseline for normal people, but Chu Zihang had once
Compared with the normal level, the difference may be more than dozens of times.
Li Qiuluo, who was sitting on a bench not far away from him, continued, "Your situation is quite special. Our doctor's opinion of your physical examination report and blood sampling test is that you should have developed symptoms of out-of-control blood a year ago.
, in addition to the inability to turn off the golden boy, it will also be accompanied by the solidification of the dragon on the body surface, schizophrenia and severe visual hallucinations. However, due to some reasons, the only external characteristics reflected in your body are the golden boy that cannot be extinguished. Test it with your blood
Judging from the surface, you should have gone crazy and killed your companions, instead of still being able to replace the propellers of Boeing aircraft under high-pressure blood refining."
Chu Zihang saw Li Qiuluo, who was sitting on the bench with his back to him, taking out something from his pocket and throwing it over without looking back. Although he had lost his bloodline, his basic nerve reflexes and muscle control abilities still remained considerable.
To such an extent, both eyes and hands followed the tubular object that was falling in a high parallax and shining in the sun.
Chu Zihang grabbed the thrown thing. The fragile thing that looked like a glass test tube fell to the ground or fell into the lake without his hand. Through the dappled sunlight cast by the willow tree, he could clearly see the sticky substance inside.
A thick black liquid that makes people feel uncomfortable and disgusted just by looking at it.
His first instinct was that the test tube contained asphalt, but this liquid was much thinner than asphalt, and its color was close to the color of the red ink in the ink bottle, but it must have added a lot of viscosity agent, no matter what
It is supposed to be a chemical reagent, with some corrosiveness and toxicity.
"Is this my blood sample?" Chu Zihang asked softly, holding the test tube.
Normal people should be frightened to criticize Chu Zihang after learning the truth, or call him a monster. The blood sample should have been regarded as poison, but this woman looked unconcerned. It seemed that Chu Zihang
Hang simply contracted some blood disease that was not difficult to solve.
"Since it's an affirmative sentence, don't use it as a question. It seems that you do have some self-awareness about your physical condition. I'm curious why your friend would allow you to go on this road. According to his character, he should
Stop you at the first opportunity, no matter the cost." Li Qiuluo turned his head and looked at Chu Zihang, who was holding a test tube under the willow tree.
"A promise." Chu Zihang looked at the dirty, sticky blood in the test tube.
He didn't say much, but just such a short sentence was enough to make Li Qiuluo gently nod his head in approval, "Boys your age do like these things. I can understand it, but it doesn't mean I agree. An agreement doesn't mean it's
You can do whatever you want, your body knows best what’s going on, and you also know that you won’t live long if you continue like this, right?”
"You said my situation is very special, can I know what is so special?" Chu Zihang changed the topic.
"Yes, because even we have not completely solved the secret, or we have only observed the phenomenon, but cannot lead the cause from the effect at all. It is like a natural mystery - but this kind of mystery has been seen a lot, and it is not
As for the level of alarming everyone." Li Qiuluo said, "I will put aside many academic terms and just talk about the doctor's preliminary conclusion: your dragon gene is very stable, which means that you have not degenerated into a deadpool or more dangerous.
The only reason for something.”
"My dragon genes are very stable?" Chu Zihang chewed on this sentence. It was contradictory and unreasonable. If the dragon genes were stable, how could the bloodline collapse? How can a hybrid that engages in violent blood say that dragon genes are stable?
?
"Relatively stable, to use a more vivid way to describe it, is: your dragon gene is extremely active, but its corrosiveness is extremely weak." Li Qiuluo said, "The extremely active activity means that when the dragon blood dominates, what you
The power and power you control will be stronger, and the dragon transformation phenomenon will be more obvious. The extremely weak corrosiveness means that your dragon genes will not excessively destroy the parts of human genes when they dominate."
"It sounds contradictory." Chu Zihang pointed out the key point.
Li Qiuluo nodded, "The two are inherently contradictory. The highly active dragon's blood should be accompanied by strong corrosiveness, but the composition of your genetic chain is quite balanced. This is very contrary to common sense, like the weight on the other end of a tilted scale.
The code ignores the influence of gravity and angle and has no momentum at all to slide to the other side - or the sliding momentum is too slow for us to observe, so we can only generally summarize this weird phenomenon as extremely weak erosion."
Suddenly, Li Qiuluo paused, "Compared to the problem of the weight itself, a small number of researchers actually believe that there is a problem with the 'friction force' itself, as if an invisible hand grabbed the weight and let it slide.
It won't fall to the other side...but this idea is too ridiculous and unrealistic, so let's leave it aside."
"Performing bloodline refining too intensely will inevitably lead to the excessive proliferation of dragon blood genes, which will lead to irreversible consequences. The golden boy you lose control of and cannot turn off and the deteriorated blood samples are the consequences. But it has to be said that your bloodline has a negative impact on bloodline refining.
Technology has a very high compatibility, and although high-intensity bloodline refining will continue to erode parts of your human genes, the truly irreversible day will come much later than others." Li Qiuluo said,
"I think your father's generation must be a very good 'gan' mixed race."
"Hmm. According to this progress, how much time do I have?" Chu Zihang asked in a low voice.
"What you mean by your words is that you will not give up your bloodline refining technology after this treatment. At the same time, I regret to tell you that the orthodox treatment method for your 'Fallen Angel' is not to adjust your genetic ratio. We
The technology is not yet capable of this step (Li Qiuluo may be lying, or he may be telling the truth). The fact that you are now healthy is just a symptom of treating the symptoms rather than the root cause. In the final analysis, your treatment process is just the use of ancient medicinal methods and
The green witchcraft temporarily suppresses your dangerous bloodline, giving your body enough time and space to contain the dragon blood and perform a certain degree of self-purification. What really plays a role in this process is your own immunity.
So don't be too optimistic. If you think that your bloodline will be healthy to an ideal level after stopping the medication, this is unrealistic and extravagant hope." Li Qiuluo said,
"But I think you won't have such unrealistic fantasies. Since you have chosen this path, you should have plans and mental preparations. If you really want to know an exact time, I can give it to you.
Two numbers, either 20 years or 1 year."
She didn't advise Chu Zihang to make any choice, she just told him everything and waited for him to make his own choice.
Perhaps in this woman's past, she has seen too many similar people and things, and also seen different endings. To her, Chu Zihang's current situation is just another boring cliché.
Chu Zihang silently looked at the thick black viscosity inside the test tube.
Either he would die in a hospital bed with a dialysis tube inserted for 20 years, or he would die at the gunpoint of his companions in one year. These were his only two choices.
"Or, give up your own bloodline." Li Qiuluo raised his left hand, holding three overlapping rectangular paper bags with gray-yellow medicine paper tied to a small hemp rope on his fingertips, "Once every three days, the contents are
When taking it by decoction, it is recommended to use a casserole as a container. Avoid spicy food, onions, garlic, and non-vegetables while taking the medicine. There will be a certain degree of insomnia and night sweats as side effects, which you need to overcome by yourself."
Chu Zihang did not pick up the medicine bag, but waited for Li Qiuluo to put the medicine bag on the chair and continue, "I can't tell you the nature and composition of the medicine. This is an ancient recipe that has not been passed down, but I can tell you,
If you want, Orthodoxy can give the secret party a favor and supply medicine on a long-term basis. You only need to leave a reliable address and insist on taking medicine to suppress your bloodline as recessive - generally speaking, a normal mixed blood.
Planting the tiger wolf medicine once can ensure that you will be emotionally stable for the rest of your life and free from bloodline problems, but your situation is special and you need to take it for a long time."
"I don't believe in the so-called kindness, just tell me what the price is." Chu Zihang said.
Li Qiuluo was quiet for a moment and said, "You need to provide blood samples and send them back regularly. If you are in China, someone will come to you for regular physical examinations. We are very curious about the contradictory activity and corrosiveness of your dragon blood. This will provide you with
It provides some value in itself.”
"But you don't seem to be crazy about it." Chu Zihang didn't know the cause of his problems, but it didn't stop him from knowing that if what Li Qiuluo said was true, then the mystery behind him would
The value is unimaginable.
"...You are special, but not special enough. Compared to your friends, you are not special enough." Li Qiuluo left a meaningful sentence calmly, ending the discussion in this regard.
Chu Zihang responded with silence and stare.
He thought a lot at this moment, but many of his thoughts were temporarily suppressed.
"This is a month's supply. Don't stop taking the medicine, keep your mood stable, and avoid overexertion. It's best to take advantage of this time to relax. Beijing is beautiful, and so is the Old Summer Palace. If you haven't been there, you can take the time to visit it.
, the general trend will not stop changing because of your absence." Li Qiuluo did not look at Chu Zihang again, and counted the beautiful scenery on the branches and the lakeside, "No matter whether you make a decision or not in one month, you must ensure that this month
Keep taking your medicine. You don't want to see an out-of-control dangerous hybrid appear on the streets. I don't think you want to cause trouble to the people around you. Being brave and making your own decisions is the stupidest thing in my opinion, especially when you are not qualified to go.
Under willful circumstances.”
She stood up from the bench, turned to look at Chu Zihang, but her eyes jumped past him to look at the ancient pavilion in the lake in the distance, "I don't think you want to open your eyes next time and see...
If the colleague whose throat and chest you tore out died in such regret, it would be tantamount to the biggest tragedy and punishment for a good boy like you who is full of passion and sense of mission... Or you need a protector now.
, it’s best to be with you all the time during this period. The current situation is indeed unstable recently, and orthodoxy cannot guarantee your complete safety.”
Chu Zihang followed Li Qiuluo's line of sight and looked back at the other side of the red bridge connecting this shore to the ancient pavilion. The girl in a white dress finally woke up and ran around in the sunshine, accompanied by flowers, birds and fish.
He came over like a large rabbit, waving to this side as he ran, calling loudly his "senior brother" here.
"By the way, why am I here..." When he turned around again, Li Qiuluo was nowhere to be found on the bench.
She left, leaving behind the three gray-yellow paper bags on the bench.
