Chapter 4 The Intimacy of Conflict (two in one)(2/3)
Then he looked at Jing Chen, and opened his mouth, wanting to ask something more, but seeing that Jing Chen had already turned away, he still didn't ask.
He just paused, put his hands on his legs, and stood up.
"...I understand, Master."
"Master, how do you pay your hexagram gold?"
After moving a few steps slightly, Old Man Hong hesitated, and finally just asked.
"Give it whatever you want."
Jing Chen really didn't have the time to think about the hexagram gold anymore, so he said casually.
Old Man Hong looked at the words on the banner in front of Jingchen’s stall,
Then he groped around on his own body,
"Master...this is what I earned from fortune telling today...that's all I have in cash..."
Old Man Hong fumbled for about a hundred dollars and handed it to Jing Chen.
Jing Chen paused, raised his head, and looked at Old Man Hong again.
"...Remember, don't go home within a month. Just leave the money here."
"I remember, Master."
Old Man Hong followed Jing Chen's words, lowered his body and put the money on the stall.
Then he straightened up, turned his head and looked around, then walked back to his stall in a daze.
Subconsciously packing up the things on his stall,
Then I got up subconsciously and walked towards my home.
I only took two steps when I woke up with a start.
Then he turned around, quickened his pace, and walked in another completely opposite direction.
He lowered his head and walked along the road, his mind filled with what Jing Chen had just said to him.
After walking forward for a while, I stopped again, raised my head, and looked towards the tall buildings on the street in the distance.
"...Since I can't go home this month...my home is in the north city, so I will live in the south of the city!"
Old Man Hong came back to his senses and muttered, but also hesitated a little.
"How about... I also give myself a hexagram..."
"never mind."
Old Man Hong quickened his pace and headed south of the city.
…
Looking at the figure of old man Hong walking away,
Jing Chen withdrew his gaze, lowered his head again, and opened his right hand that he had been holding.
His right hand was spread out, and there was a drop of blood lying quietly in it.
Looking at this drop of blood, Jing Chen fell silent.
This was something that shouldn't have appeared. It appeared in his hand just after he saw the sea of blood submerging the world.
It's like a hand that reaches into a stream and pulls it out, bringing out a few drops of water.
But when he saw the sea of blood submerging the world before, it was obviously just a picture that Jing Chen saw.
But...
Now there is just this drop of blood in his hand.
Looking at this drop of blood, Jing Chen paused for a long time.
The faint smell of blood stimulates the nasal cavity, and the slight touch of blood drops dripping in the palm,
They are all showing their truth to Jing Chen.
Perhaps, it's not something wrong with his ability, but something wrong with the world.
Jing Chen raised his head again and looked at the tall buildings in the distance.
This thought came to mind,
Maybe the world is starting to look different?
Then,
The moment this thought emerged in Jing Chen’s mind,
The high-rise streets, rivers and city scenes he saw in front of him clearly had no actual changes.
But Jing Chen did have a very real feeling that the world was different.
He had a very strange feeling.
After another pause, this strange feeling did not change further.
Jing Chen lowered his head again and looked at the blood drop in his hand.
He didn't know what to do with this blood bead yet.
There's no way you can just throw it here, who knows what will happen.
Then we can only take it away... In fact, Jing Chen did not feel any threat from this blood bead.
Just like the blood-filled eyes I saw just now, there is a sense of intimacy and vigorous vitality.
After closing his palm again and holding the drop of blood, Jing Chen simply tidied up the stall, got up and left.
He was really confused and had no intention of playing fortune teller here anymore.
…
"Dong dong..."
Capital Institute of Life Sciences, in a laboratory.
Professor Qian Yixue was sitting on a stool, looking at the pink flesh-like substance the size of a fingernail in the petri dish in front of him in trance.
There was a knock on the door next to him, which brought Qian Yixue out of his lost thoughts.
"Come in……"
"Professor Qian."
A young man in a white coat came in, holding a lab report in his hand, his face flushed, and he could tell he was very excited.
"After the XR substance entered 05 and 06, it also performed extremely well. The AIDS in 05 and the terminal cancer in 06 were greatly suppressed."
"Furthermore, their body organs were damaged by diseases before, and they recovered quickly. From the surface, 05 and 06 are completely healthy people, even better than ordinary people... Maybe this description is not accurate,
I think they showed strong vitality and tenacious vitality after receiving XR substances."
Professor Qian Yixue looked at the excited young man in front of him, but he did not show the happiness he should have.
"Um."
He just responded calmly.
"...Professor Qian, we actually defeated terminal cancer, not only extending the patient's survival period, but also truly curing it. XR substance is simply the greatest discovery in these decades."
The excited young man seemed to have no regard for paying to learn from the professor's reaction. It was obvious that he was really excited.
"It's just a pity... We still have no way to replicate XR substances, and the department that provides us with XR substances is unwilling to disclose the source and preparation of XR substances."
As he spoke, the young man still had regrets and showed some doubts.
"...XR clearly looks like flesh and blood tissue, but the traditional cloning method doesn't work... Moreover, the gene series is so strange..."
"Well, don't think about replicating flesh and blood tissue for the time being. Let's make preliminary analysis records and clinical experiment records first... Is this the only information?"
Qian Yixue raised his head and glanced at the excited young man, then turned his head and looked at the pink flesh and blood tissue in the petri dish. This is what the young people call xr, which is the pinyin abbreviation of flesh and blood.
"There is also some data...According to observations, XR seems to have some effects on the nerves and brains of the subjects."
"After receiving XR substances, the spirit of the experimenter showed some abnormal excitement and abnormal activities. There were nightmares, gibbering and confusion. The frequency of brain wave activity was also far higher than that of normal people, and in the most severe cases, it could reach ten times.
.”
"This is specific data, Professor Qian."
Having said this, the excitement on the young man's face gradually faded away, and he handed the experimental data report to Professor Qian Yixue.
"Um."
Professor Qian Yixue took it and turned it over.
"After stopping XR, the spirits of these subjects gradually improved... I think that as a drug that can treat terminal cancer, this side effect is completely acceptable."
The young man spoke again while Professor Qian Yixue was flipping through the lab report.
Professor Qian Yixue raised his head and glanced at him without saying anything.
