The reason why the face of the second uncle is old enough to look like an old man in his seventies or eighties is precisely because the vitality of his body is constantly flowing into the crystal in his body. In other words, while the crystal made his brain die, it maintained the vitality of his body, but it also sucked the vitality away, causing his body to continue to age.
This is a cyclical process that can be seen as good or bad. However, I think that the vitality of the second uncle's being sucked away can be regarded as his life span. Even if he is now in his soul and regains control of his body, he will not be able to restore the lost life.
Professor Shu said: "I believe you have also noticed that his vitality is constantly flowing into the crystal. This is actually a very strange thing, because there is a symbiotic relationship between him and the crystal. But now you can see. Come, but it seems to be offering."
"You mean that the vitality of that crystal is not enough, and it needs to be extracted from Er Uncle's body to supplement it?" I asked.
"Although it is unbelievable, this is the truth," said Professor Shu.
"If this is the case, the crystal and the second uncle are not in a symbiotic relationship at all. That crystal is a parasite! The reason why it also goes to extinction when the second uncle's body is weak and close to death, because the host cannot provide more. The vitality." I said angrily: "Where did the second uncle come across such a thing!"
"Yes, yes, there is indeed such a possibility." Professor Shu said as if waking up from a dream: "For so many years, we did not expect the possibility of parasitism... If this is the case, then take out the crystal, it seems... "
I was stunned. I didn't expect Professor Shu to make such a low-level mistake on this issue. Professor Shu is certainly not a stupid person who can bring the plan of god creation to this level. It's just that, many times smart people are smart and mistaken. Simple things are complicated by them, and complicated problems are even more difficult to understand.
When I was awakened by a word, Professor Shu's projection disappeared quickly. After a while, the door of the room opened, and several pseudo-arhats rushed in first, beckoning me to leave here. At the same time, many people came over with instruments and equipment. Seeing them looking hurriedly, I asked, "What are you going to do!"
Seeing that I didn't want to leave, the pseudo-arhats coldly hummed and stretched out their hands to catch me. I also gathered Jin Li in my body and planned to resist. At this time, Professor Shu’s voice suddenly remembered: "Forget it, if you don’t want to leave, then stay here. But I want to tell you clearly what we will do next The matter is very important. You have no problem staying, but if you mess up or obstruct the event and affect the final result of this matter, even if the chairman is angry, I will kill you first!"
I turned my head and saw Professor Shu approaching surrounded by a few people. I looked at him coldly, leaning against the glass where the second uncle was lying, and asked: "What are you going to do?"
"You are right, that crystal may indeed be a parasite." Professor Shu said: "If this guess is correct, then we have a lot of confidence to save it."
"Take out the crystal?" I immediately said angrily: "Don't you know that if this guess is wrong, the second uncle might die directly!"
"It is indeed possible." Professor Shu said: "But we don't have time. If we continue to wait, his vitality is not enough to support the survival of the crystals. Rather than let them die together, it is better to..."
"No! I don't agree!" I said loudly: "You guys today, don't want to do anything to him!"
Professor Shu's wrinkled old face, a bright mechanical eye turning slightly, seemed to be looking at me. The expression on his face is very cold, and the tone is the same, saying: "I have reminded you that if you obstruct this matter, even if the chairman is here, you will die and look ugly!"
"Really, then you come and try!" I sneered and gathered Jin Li in the palm of my hand, imagining two golden knives in my hand. As long as those pseudo-arhats and professors dare to make any changes, the golden knife in their hands will chop off the heads of the two closest to me first.
Professor Shu stared at me and didn't say a word. After a while, he said helplessly: "You have a temper like him. He is brain dead. Even if I don't do it now, he can't hold it for a few days. That crystal is a very precious thing, hard to find in the world, and unique. If the secret in it can be solved, it will have an inestimable effect on the god-making plan."
I sneered and said, "It's really nice. I don't see how this crystal has anything to do with the God-making plan. However, there are so many loopholes in your words that people have to wonder if the origin of this crystal has long been known. Understand something."
"What's the loophole in my words? I'm telling the truth." Professor Shu looked at me calmly.
Where did I say what loopholes he had? Those words before were purely to deceive him. I don't know whether Professor Shu really doesn't know, or he's old and cunning. The only thing that I understand is that they cannot be allowed to move the second uncle's body.
In fact, this approach is indeed of no use as Professor Shu said.
However, it was the first time I saw Er uncle, how could I just watch them cut the body of Er uncle
Professor Shu and others confronted me for a long time, and the people around me with instruments and equipment didn't seem to see us, and they fiddled with the things in their hands. A lot of instruments and equipment quickly filled the house.
Seeing that the preparations are ready, Professor Shu said again: "Zuo Tianyang, I only give you one last chance, remove your body from there!"
I snorted and said, "If I don't let it!"
"It's okay if you don't let it." Professor Shu's tone was flat, as if he was telling a trivial matter: "Although the chairperson ordered you not to be killed, he didn't mention your parents. You should be very clear, as long as I say a word Then, the two of them will fall to the ground."
"Despicable!" I cursed.
"Yes, I am despicable. Now I will use despicable means to force you to leave here. Don’t try to challenge my patience. It doesn’t make any difference to me whether you are alive or not. I have all the samples of your body. , Although a living body sample can provide extra help, I am not uncommon!" Professor Shu's voice became colder and colder, gradually full of murderous intent.
I know that what I did has aroused his hatred of me again. After all, there is no kindness, only enmity between me and this old man who is dedicated to completing the plan of creating gods. He hates me, and I hate him too.
The discussion between us about this world is full of academic colors, which gave me an illusion of my own position. I thought I was okay, and my parents would be okay. But until now, it is only clear that the lives of father and mother are still held firmly by Professor Shu.
The two of them were not released for one day, and I was threatened by Professor Shu and had to surrender to him.
But what can I do
I don't know the position of my parents at all. The reason why Professor Shu has not told me or let them go is because he foresaw something similar to the present. He has a hole card that can be turned over at any time, and so do I. However, although his hole cards are not as big as mine, they are much easier to use.
I keep struggling, whether to protect my second uncle or my parents
In Chiyou Tomb, Ji Sun Shenhun once demonstrated to me how Er Uncle dug me out of the iceberg. Seeing him picking up the young me, the kind and contented expression on his face, the touch in my heart has not yet dissipated. He is my second uncle in name, but he is actually a lifesaver, but in my heart, he is a real person in this world second only to his parents and Lien Dao. Even Ah San can't match him in some respects.
And when I have determined the importance of these people in my heart, the answer is already clear who to protect.
I opened my eyes wide, staring at Professor Shu, gritted my teeth and said: "One day, I will break you down into a hundred pieces and throw it into the sea to feed the fish!"
"That will be the future. Now, please move faster. Every minute and every second of us is very important, one hundred times, ten thousand times more important than you think!" Professor Shu said coldly.
I was angry at his ruthlessness. The second uncle and him were once confidants, but he not only betrayed the second uncle, but also wanted to end his life early for the sake of crystal. At the same time, I also regretted my stupidity. If it weren't for my parasitic speculation, Professor Shu wouldn't want to remove the crystal immediately. It can be said that if the second uncle really died prematurely, a large part of the responsibility is because of me!
But what can I do? That inference is trivial. Who knows that Professor Shu pays so much attention to it. From speaking to acting, he only took a minute or two, which did not give me enough time to react.
I took a few steps forward with resentment and regret. When Professor Shu saw that I was too slow, he came up and pushed hard, and said impatiently: "It's drowsy, hurry up!"
"I want to stay here." I glared at him.
Professor Shu didn’t turn his head back, and while instructing his subordinates to switch on various instruments and equipment, he said: “Where you want to be, but if you trouble me again, I’ll let someone chop off their hands and feet and give them to you Be rewarded!"
I know very well that if Professor Shu can say this, he will definitely be able to do it. He is not a kind-hearted person, only his enthusiasm for the god-making plan in his heart, as for the others, in his eyes they are just experimental objects and tools.
I stood nearby in silence, watching the glass cover was opened, and the second uncle's body was in the air. Then, many things of unknown function were attached to his body. The data was reported out loud one by one, and Professor Shu thought, constantly changing the equipment and making some incredible preparations.
When everything was ready, a set of machines capable of emitting micro-cutting rays was pushed to the side of Erbo. Professor Shu walked up personally and began to fiddle with the machine. (End of this chapter)
