"But this doesn't make sense." Ye Suling immediately questioned, "Your legs are tightly wrapped in jeans, which are thicker than a mask. There is no way you could have been exposed to the poisonous gas first, but you said before
, almost every time you are poisoned, the first thing you feel is stiffness and paralysis in your legs, what is going on?"
"Well - it would be too far-fetched to say it's because of old injuries. This is true for me..."
Having said this, Zhang Ke's pupils suddenly shrank, as if he remembered some detail that had been ignored for a long time.
"What's wrong? Did you find a clue?" Ye Suling asked eagerly and expectantly.
"I'm not sure if it's completely related - but several reincarnations ago, when I was not thrown into the underground ruins by Yuan Qiushi, I was fighting with him on the ground. In one fight, he was on my thigh.
Go up and prick you hard with something sharp." Zhang Ke said as he recalled:
"I remember that he took the initiative to hit the artery in his neck against the blade of my knife, and blood immediately sprayed out like a shower head, completely blocking my field of vision. At that time, I only felt a sharp pain in my thigh, but could not see
Find out what he did."
"After that, I wiped away the blood in front of my eyes, but I found that there was just a small blood hole in my leg. It was nothing serious. Except for a slight numbness in my legs and feet, basically there was not much blood.
So I ignored it... Later, I was thrown into the ruins by Yuan Qiushi, and I sprained my foot when I fell. The pain from the sprain in my foot has faded a lot now."
At this point, Zhang Ke was a little surprised, but said in disbelief, "Is it possible that the needle that pierced my thigh at that time was the culprit of my old injury? But I didn't feel any pain in my leg at that time.
The paralysis is so severe, and this is just an accident that occurs in one reincarnation, not every reincarnation goes through this process."
"Leaving aside the matter of reincarnation, I do know that there are many new poisons in the world now, which do not work alone, but are a combination of two different substances to achieve a joint effect." Ye Suling thought for a while and said:
"For example, when I was dealing with a strange murder case, I found that the most suspected murderer had indeed poisoned the deceased's water glass, but it was only a poison that was not fatal and would only make people trance-like and reveal the truth.
The murderer himself claimed that he only wanted to deceive the deceased into getting information and had no intention of killing him."
"But there was indeed a potent poison in the body of the deceased, which caused severe internal bleeding in many of his organs. His death was very miserable, and the chemical substance that caused the rupture of his internal organs was indeed the metabolite of the poison on the water cup." Ye Suling continued:
"Finally, after analysis by a team of toxicology experts, it was discovered that the murderer had put another more non-toxic and harmless substance in the cream of the deceased's afternoon tea cake. Even if it was detected separately, there would be no suspicion of that substance.
What kind of suspicious substance is it? However, experts have discovered that once it combines with the weak toxin on the water glass, it will immediately turn it into a highly toxic substance with a similar structure but hundreds of times more chemical activity, constantly tearing apart
Visceral cells, thereby triggering a tragic death."
"You mean, I also encountered a similar situation? The toxin that Yuan Qiushi hit on my thigh before was just a toxin that would slightly numb the thigh, and the blue-purple smoke and dust on the stairs made this toxin evolve into
A nerve poison with a strong paralyzing effect?"
"Yes, I think this is the most likely hypothesis." Ye Suling said, "If it was purely due to the inhalation of poisonous gas through the pores, your legs should have lost consciousness in the end anyway, not right up.
"The reaction is so strong, it can only mean that some substance left in your body combines with the smoke and dust, causing a series of intensified reactions."
"But - how could the poison that was pierced into my body in one reincarnation still be preserved without being traced back after so many reincarnations? This doesn't make sense..." Zhang Ke said with some self-doubt, "Could it be that
I have always understood it wrong. Although the whole world has restarted over time, my body has not been reshaped? That’s not right either..."
"What if... there is no so-called time restart at all?"
Suddenly, Ye Suling said something out of nowhere. Zhang Ke turned to look at her in surprise, subconsciously wanting to deny it, but saw Ye Suling shaking her head first and rejecting her ridiculous guess: "I was just confused.
Just saying that, many side facts have proved that the time reincarnation you mentioned does exist. I guess the problem lies in this toxic substance, which may have certain properties."
"characteristic?"
"Well, maybe this special toxic substance, just like you time-traversers, is not affected by time retrospection and can be retained until the next reincarnation. And every time this substance is stimulated, the remaining activity in the body
The more toxins there are, the worse your state will be when reincarnation is restarted, because the total amount of activated toxins in the body is much higher than at the beginning." Ye Suling analyzed rigorously:
"The above are all baseless speculations, but I feel that only a special substance with this kind of characteristics can cause your current situation."
"If Yuan Qiushi does thoroughly explore the Chunshen ruins, he may indeed be able to find black technologies such as 'poison that still works beyond time reincarnation.' After all, Troy also said that there are many near-future technologies buried here.
." Zhang Ke nodded slightly, feeling that Ye Suling's reasoning was indeed worthy of reference.
In this way, Liang Qiushi's superficial purpose is probably obvious - he understood from the beginning that simply killing himself is useless, because everything will restart over time and start from scratch.
So he has been looking for opportunities to expose himself to this troublesome toxic substance and repeatedly activate it with another toxic smoke through reincarnations, leaving a large amount of active neurotoxin in his body and completely destroying it.
own ability to act.
In this way, when a certain reincarnation begins, I will be completely unable to move and have no consciousness due to the neurotoxins in my body, but I am not dead, so I will not restart the reincarnation, let alone escape from the Chunshen Ruins.
.
As for the remaining Ye Suling who is not a time tracer, it is easier for Yuan Qiushi, who has the right time and place, to deal with it. Anyway, it is enough to start over from the beginning. Without the observation of himself as a time tracer, Ye Suling will soon be affected by the intelligence.
Due to the extreme disadvantage, he was easily subdued.
In this way, Yuan Qiushi's original goal was achieved——
