"What you need to prepare in life is not expensive tea,"
The doctor sat calmly at the table, looking through the various documents in his hand. As he spoke, he glanced sideways at Kelsey, with no expression on his face blocked by the mask.
"It's about the mood of drinking tea."
"Why are you in such a hurry? Kelsey."
"It's not us who should be anxious now."
"Except for the data we gave her initially to convince her of our strength, we have not had any direct contact with her."
The doctor flipped through the documents and signed them one after another, talking without stopping.
Obviously, this level of multitasking is not a trouble at all for him.
Kelsey sat on the seat, her two slender thighs folding over each other and changing positions, her slender fingertips slowly and forcefully rubbing the handle of the coffee cup, and her eyelids lowered.
"How can you guarantee that she will turn to us instead of snitching on Mr. Bai?" Kelsey brought the coffee cup to her lips and took a sip. After putting the cup down, she added, "You should know very well.
The strength gap between us and the illusion is so large that it cannot be bridged... Our actions are still too radical."
"Strength can indeed solve many problems." The doctor said calmly, "To be precise, it should be able to solve many people who ask questions."
"However, the strength he possesses cannot solve the problems raised by some people after all."
"That's the problem with Helmer."
As the doctor spoke, he classified and sorted the documents in his hands. He lightly cut the paper documents twice on the desktop and flattened them, then folder them into a special folder.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Kelsey.
"As Rhine Life's top biologist and Originium scientist, Hemmer is one of the first scientists of this generation to see the conflict between Originium resources and the essence of life. For this reason, she mentioned it in her university thesis
The concept of bringing the Source Stone to life.”
"After working in the industry, she put this conjecture or obsession into reality."
"Then, within just a few years, the slightly flawed work of Ifrit appeared."
The doctor stretched out his finger and nodded his head.
"She's a genius."
"Geniuses are often the most stubborn people who adhere to correct ideas."
The doctor's voice gradually became serious and steady from the light tone at the beginning.
"Do you know why, when I learned that Mr. Bai could erase the Origin Stone, my first thought was not to ask him for advice on how to eliminate the Origin Stone, but to persist in carrying out our plan?"
"Because the roads are different."
Before Kelsey could respond, he asked and answered himself.
"We are always looking for ways to save infected people and save the world."
"And he chose to escape."
"Is it useful to eliminate the Origin Stone? Maybe it is, but it is just a temporary pleasure of drinking poison to quench thirst."
"As long as the Origin Stone still exists in this world, the ore disease and infected people will never be eliminated."
"But he chose this approach."
"Therefore, no matter how he developed this method to completely eliminate the Origin Stone, and how deeply he understood the Origin Stone, he has embarked on a completely different path from us."
"Maybe now it seems that there is a certain gap between our experiment and his results, but what if we look at it the other way around?"
"In terms of the combination of Source Stone and life, he also has a huge theoretical and experimental gap with us."
"This is an inevitable result of the research direction."
The doctor's voice seemed to be very calm, but his tone was categorical and left no room for doubt.
This is the pride of being a researcher.
"As for his strength?"
"What is strength?"
"Temperature? Explosion? Impact force?"
"Even if he is so strong that he is truly inhuman, is it possible that he can still withstand ultra-high temperature and pressure?"
The doctor smiled contemptuously.
"If it doesn't work, then increase it by another order of magnitude! If it still doesn't work, double the power exponent! Isn't the so-called lack of strength just a lack of data?"
"Biology itself has its limits."
"Only wisdom is the ultimate weapon for creatures to face nature."
"The person who survives to the end in this world is by no means the strongest person!" The doctor turned to look at Kelsey, his tone as calm as if he was describing a certain fact, "It is the person who has the most wisdom, so that he can adapt to his own needs.
The person who has reached the highest level of ability.”
Kelsey looked at the doctor, and even through the mask, she could feel his sharp gaze.
Speaking of this, the doctor's tone suddenly relaxed.
"Ah, I'm sorry." He stretched out his hand to scratch his head as if he was relaxed, "I accidentally dropped a lot of personal items. It seems that I did sleep for a long time."
"All in all, a person like Helmer will not easily change her research direction just because she sees another path."
"Of course, more importantly, her research also entrusts the lives of others."
Kelsey frowned and took another sip of coffee: "But if you are worried about this, why doesn't Hemer ask Mr. Bai to eliminate Ifrit's ore disease? If it is for an experiment, Hemer should
Are there more ways?"
"Because... Ifrit is special." The doctor said, taking out a copy from the folder beside him, opening it, and handed it to Kelsey, "Maybe even the only one."
Kelsey looked down and saw a photo on the first page of the file, her expression suddenly startled.
It was a Sakaz girl with a thin build, short light flaxen hair, curved horns on the top of her head, and bright orange-red eyes.
However, what stunned Kelsey was not the girl herself, but the fire wrapped around her body.
I saw that all the clothes on the girl's body were burned by the flames, but her smooth body was unscathed, only slightly scorched by the high temperature.
The flames swirling around the body rose from the feet, twisting and spiraling like thick chains, until they climbed to the top of the girl's head.
Then, a demonic flame shadow formed on top of her, roaring angrily and constantly spitting out flames.
Even though the image was slightly blurry, Kelsey could still see that the flame had formed a specific state.
"Is this... the Origin Stone can be used as a foreign minister?" Kelsey frowned, "If this is the case, although it is indeed amazing to be able to use it at this age, we also have many people who are proficient in the Origin Stone and can control it.
Can professionals achieve this?"
"Take a closer look."
There seemed to be a smile in the doctor's voice.
Kelsey frowned and continued to observe, her eyes wandering back and forth on the photo.
Suddenly, she saw the walls around Ifrit.
Paw prints.
They were all paw prints.
It was mostly a wall made of steel. The ground was full of ferocious marks, as if it had been torn open by some kind of beast with its claws. There were deep ravines burning with raging flames.
These traces are obviously not made by humans.
"The appearance of a pure source stone, just like the name, is just a shape that changes according to its own will. It cannot interfere with reality."
"But she's different."
"This is an Originium life form." The doctor's voice seemed to have a hint of excitement as he emphasized, "Hermer has created a real, but not so perfect, Originium energy creature!"
"This is an extremely rare necessity, created by countless accidents!"
"It's just that this creature needs Ifrit as its mother body in order to maintain its own existence in this world."
"In other words, this creature is also another life form of Ifrit."
"Our paths are the same."
"Hermer knows very well that escaping is useless. Destroying the Source Stone is equivalent to cutting off our own way forward."
"Only Origin Stone evolution is the right direction."
"Mr. Bai cannot lead her in this direction. Even according to the information we have gathered, Mr. Bai always pretends to be illiterate, as if he knows nothing about basic knowledge and professional knowledge about Origin Stones."
"He doesn't even think about it. Does anyone believe it?"
Speaking of this, the doctor's voice couldn't help but sound a bit contemptuous,
"Is it possible that the research result of eliminating the Origin Stone could have come from somewhere in his body?"
"He obviously wants to keep himself private! He is unwilling to disclose his research process to the outside world, monopolizes the possible benefits and results, and is afraid of being surpassed by others."
"Oh."
"Hemer has no way out from his place."
The doctor raised his head and looked at Kelsey seriously, his tone full of the arrogance unique to a successful person.
