The puppet girl's words were like dropping a cannonball on a calm lake, causing Wu Ming, who was originally dazed, to suddenly wake up: "Did the Truth Society really use living people to make the Philosopher's Stone!? "
"The conclusion from preliminary research is this..." Zhao Sida did not speak absolutely. "The physical structure of the Wisdom Potion is basically the same as the Truth Potion. The key is the structure of the extraordinary level, but a large number of different advanced intelligent life forms have been discovered. Their bodies were mixed together without distinguishing each other's soul molecules and basic factors of life. Their bodies and souls were shattered and fused together like mashed potatoes and ketchup that were evenly stirred."
Wu Ming looked suspicious: "Old Zhao, you just said that to trick me into getting up..."
As early as when he first bought [Wisdom], he complained that it looked like the Philosopher's Stone, and it was probably not made of living materials. At that time, the doll girl not only stated that there were no life characteristics in the medicine, but also took this opportunity to insult Elizabeth, accusing Sang and Huai that the silly girl was a beast with extraordinary strength but no intelligence.
But now it has completely overturned the previous conclusion...
Zhao Sida tilted her head in confusion, her pupil lenses made of inorganic light-sensitive crystals kept shrinking and expanding, and after changing for a while, she said unhurriedly: "Would I lie to you? I lied to you. What’s the benefit?”
Wu Ming raised his head and thought about it and felt that there was no need for the doll girl to lie to him about this kind of thing, and then turned back to the topic: "Then what is going on? I remember you said before that there are no life characteristics?"
"The absence of life characteristics in the potion does not conflict with the fact that the material is the flesh, blood and soul of living people." Zhao Sida did not explain this issue in depth, and then raised a new question: "Manager, do you know why the extraordinary Are living things so keen on investing in research on the subject of extraordinary transformation?"
Extraordinary transformation has always been a popular research field in the extraordinary world.
Even if you just paint a pie that sounds powerful for extraordinary creatures in terms of extraordinary transformation, they will invest resources and money into it without hesitation.
Of course, it all depends on your ability whether you can intimidate them in the follow-up research and the process of defrauding funds to save your own life, so that those extraordinary creatures will not see the clues and angrily knock your bones and suck out your marrow.
But if we want to dig deeper into the reasons...
Wu Ming thought of a lot in an instant.
Supernatural transformation is essentially a means of adjusting the human body and mental structure to create a means of releasing and using supernatural power. After this transformation is successful, ordinary people can not only transcend the mortal world and gain the ability to use extraordinary power, but also move closer to extraordinary creatures in terms of conceiving offspring.
In other words, humans who have undergone extraordinary transformation are basically not much different from other extraordinary creatures in terms of species.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming first asked tentatively: "Is it to increase the number of companions?"
When he saw Zhao Sida nodded and did not deny it, he continued to think along this line of thinking.
When something is so popular that people invest resources in it regardless of whether it is true or false, then there is a major premise - there are huge benefits in it, or the parties concerned believe that investing resources may lead to huge benefits.
And just adding companions is not a huge benefit, at least it is not a benefit that is worthy of extraordinary creatures risking being targeted by hunting groups and being strangled by other extraordinary forces to invest in research on extraordinary transformation.
Because for modern society, adding one or two, dozens or even hundreds or thousands of extraordinary creatures will not cause any trouble. Perhaps the wizard can calmly wave his hands and fire fireballs, and each fireball will It is guaranteed to be as powerful as a frag grenade.
Perhaps a werewolf army could be formed, with vitality and resilience beyond ordinary people, ignoring the damage from firearms and small-caliber artillery fire, and wandering on the battlefield as a small group of elites.
But can a wizard use fireballs like an artillery array to continuously bombard a target area and clear the ground for eight hours? Can the Werewolf Legion withstand the 1,000-degree Celsius high-temperature flames of napalm and continue to burn?
Obviously not.
So what is the driving force that drives extraordinary creatures to invest in it?
"Perhaps there is a deeper meaning in this. Adding companions is just an intermediate state before getting benefits and rewards..." After realizing this, Wu Ming thought for a moment, and then said hesitantly: "In order to bring the world to the world, A subject to study in order to become an extraordinary society again?”
"Yes... and no." Zhao Sida first affirmed and then denied Wu Ming's guess, making him confused.
"In the extraordinary world, many extraordinary creatures have been trying to recreate the era when they walked in the world and could interfere in human society wantonly, hoping to come from behind the scenes to the front. But I believe you, the manager, are also aware of the final result. Their attempts have always failed."
Wu Ming couldn't help but nodded when he heard this: "Indeed, if they succeed in their attempt, the pedestrians on the street will definitely be as exciting as the Comic Expo every day."
Zhao Sida seemed to be choked by Wu Ming's strange brain circuit. White light flashed in her eyes for a long time before she turned around: "Even so, their attempts were not in vain. At least many extraordinary creatures finally chose to integrate into modern times. Society, not only use what they have learned to become members of modern society, some even make great achievements in their own fields, and then become well-known figures in the regional or even global fields in another way..."
"for example?"
"There is a vampire junior in Chongqing who is good at making blood. The blood she makes with her control over the blood has become a popular delicacy in the vampire circle in Chongqing; there is also an undead person in the West who has changed his job to become a forensic doctor to identify corpses. The mage became a well-known boss in the industry because he was skilled in the business and could always accurately see through the disguise of prisoners handling corpses after autopsies. Two sirens turned into human forms and became singers and idols, and they are doing well now; There is also a dwarf elite who used his mining experience to open a black coal kiln abroad; and..." Zhao Sida's eyes flashed twice more, and she began to count her family treasures.
Seeing that this situation was likely to last for more than half an hour, Wu Ming quickly waved his hand and stopped the topic: "Stop, stop, stop... I understand, let's get back to the topic."
Zhao Sida said oh, and immediately stopped the topic that was gradually turning into small talk: "Let's get back to the topic. The plan of extraordinary creatures to directly interfere with human society failed. In terms of power balance, they are at a disadvantage. Not only are there several extraordinary forces blocking them, There is also the suppression of human technological power, so they began to focus on transforming humans, mass-producing companions, and infiltrating human society. With their long lives, from now on, they will transform the entire world bit by bit, from top to bottom, into something extraordinary. A society in which biological creatures have the upper hand and stands at the top of the pyramid is the beginning and background of extraordinary transformation."
For some reason, Wu Ming always felt that the doll girl seemed to be a little depressed when she said this, but the latter was quickly attracted by her next words.
"But in fact, the technology of extraordinary transformation itself is not very difficult. Putting aside the relationship between each extraordinary force's cherished inheritance and transformation, a small and medium-sized force can go from zero to one, from nothing to mature technology and put it into use. The entire cycle will not exceed ten years, and the cost of resources required is completely sufficient for them to continue research while maintaining the normal operation of their forces."
Now Wu Ming became interested: "Since the technical difficulty is not difficult... then it is possible for any force to complete the research and then earn huge profits from the process of infiltrating human society..."
"Manager, you guessed it wrong. The reason for their enthusiasm is not that the technology of extraordinary transformation is simple, but because the biggest problem is: every time an ordinary human being is transformed into an extraordinary creature, an extraordinary creature must pay the 'price' On this..." Zhao Sida looked at Wu Ming with a half-smile, "The extraordinary power and potential given to ordinary people cannot be created out of nothing. They all need a corresponding extraordinary creature to pay the 'price'. They must first construct a method to use it. The physical and mental structure of this power is then cut off from the extraordinary potential and power of extraordinary creatures, and grafted onto ordinary people like a plant. Finally, their mental structure is modified, turning them completely into the same kind far away from humans... …”
"What they want to overcome is the problem of how to transform humans into their own kind without making extraordinary creatures pay any price!"
