Yakuza headquarters office.
In the medical building deep in the courtyard, there is a fully automatic diagnostic and treatment instrument specially used by the godfather of Yakuza, Watanabe Haruyoshi. It has been dismantled beyond recognition, with the wiring harness exposed and connected to several external devices.
Within the transparent cover of the diagnosis and treatment bed, several movable arms of different lengths are inserted alternately around a biological sample for observation and analysis at the molecular level.
The human-computer interaction equipment that comes with the diagnostic and treatment instrument has been removed. Dr. Xisen sat on the floor, holding a worn-out tablet computer and staring at the data scrolling rapidly on the screen.
"How is it?" Li Liang pressed the needle hole in his arm with a cotton ball and asked softly.
"Well..." Dr. Xisen scratched his messy hair and sighed, "Same as the conclusion of No. 0's experiment, there is no abnormality."
"Then how do you explain the smell on our bodies?" Cain tugged on his collar, "You can smell it too, right? K, Messi, and the Group can all smell it."
"Yes, yes, it smells like swill!" shouted Messi, who was sitting far away.
"The sense of smell is generally caused by the receptor proteins of some volatile and soluble organic substances, which cause the cell body membrane of the olfactory cells in the olfactory epithelium of the nasal passage to appear a depolarizing receptor potential, and then... well," Dr. Sisson pointed to a canned device next to him. "This is a gas analyzer, and the data shows that the surrounding air has no special components."
Now, everyone looked at Allen.
Allen, who was doing nothing, was stunned for a moment: "Look what I am doing, this is not magic, I have never seen this kind of magic, really."
"Hmm..." Dr. Xisen thought for a moment, "It doesn't have to be magic. Is there any substance in the spiritual world that can affect proteins?"
"How did I know?" Allen changed back into the liquid tornado form, stretched his body, and made a grunting sound. "Look, I am an Omazu."
"In history, has anyone ever used biochemical weapons against carbon-based organisms?" Inspired by Dr. Xisen, Li Liang thought of a possibility.
"That's true. As I said, your body structure is very fragile, but... it's also easy to repair." Allen changed back to his human form and reached out to pat the automatic diagnosis and treatment device. "Pang Bo, a Terencean." Tans, Vulcans, Yodels, etc. Most of the carbon-based civilizations I have seen have such machines. In history, no powerful carbon-based civilization has been defeated by biological and chemical weapons. and……"
"And what?" Li Liang asked.
"The classification of intelligent life in the spiritual world is very confusing. The scope of 'carbon-based organisms' is far wider than you think. The Eye of the Void comes from the void domain. How could it just target humans?" Allen looked at the faces of the humans present. expression, and added, "Okay, I'm just an Omazu who cheated to pass the 'Advantage' exam and then lived a life. I really haven't heard that the Eye of the Void has such characteristics, but since your body There’s nothing abnormal, so what’s there to worry about?”
Li Liang remained silent, finally nodded, and patted Dr. Xisen on the shoulder: "Get some rest, doctor."
"Alas, we still have to launch a scientific investigation into the spiritual world as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more and more things like this in the future," Dr. Xisen originally frowned, but became excited again when talking about the investigation, "I picked something from the Temple Science Academy. There are more than seventy smart young people, plus a group of old researchers selected by the Xin'ao branch and the Denali branch. There are too many talents. I took them to Qishan City some time ago and saw the Tifami people. Technology, everyone can’t wait to get started right away.”
Li Liang smiled: "Don't worry, wait until the opening ceremony is over before setting off."
"Why, time doesn't wait for me, Li Liang."
"Doctor~" Cain took the old man's arm, "No matter where you go to investigate, there must be local people taking care of you."
"Oh, yes, yes, the opening ceremony is very important," Dr. Sisen suddenly realized and looked Cain up and down, "Hey, I haven't seen you for so long, you seem to have gained weight."
"..." Cain immediately pulled out his hand, licking his back molars with the tip of his tongue and exited the chat.
Dr. Xisen slapped his forehead, then pulled Li Liang and said, "By the way, did you see Lao Fan when you went to Denali?"
"Lao Fan is..."
"The dean of the Denali branch, hey, he is probably afraid that you will cause trouble for him, so he doesn't dare to see you. I have already said that the chemical composition standards of hallucinogens should not be leaked to gangs, especially the gang named Khan. He didn't take it seriously. Hey, Lao Fan is actually a good person, but he thinks more than me. When the goblins invaded before, he even risked his life to go to Zhongjing to analyze the goblins. Now he is the one who has studied the goblins most deeply. You or……"
Li Liang couldn't laugh or cry: "Tell Dr. Fan that I won't cause trouble for him."
"That's good. I'll ask him to come to you another day. His research results are still very interesting."
At this time.
There were footsteps outside the door, and the old Tang Dynasty man arrived before he could say: "I must tell Li Liang that you are messing around!"
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
moment.
Old Tang pushed open the door and walked in, followed by Brother Shui with a gloomy face.
"What's going on?" Li Liang wondered.
"Li Liang, Your Majesty, hey, Mr. Massey is here, um, Doctor Allen," Old Tang greeted him in a circle and said angrily, "We tested a group of candidates just now, and there was a child with only a trace of Inspiration, the detector has almost no readings, what’s the use of enlightenment for a person like this?”
Li Liang looked at Brother Shui.
"Tang Zheng," Brother Shui raised his eyelids, "When you first joined the psychics, you were just a fucking bun seller. How long did it take you to learn your first magic? Now you think you are a big shot? What qualifications do you have to look down on that child?"
Old Tang stared and shouted: "Chen Yishui!"
"Okay, what are you arguing about?" Li Liang frowned, "What a big deal, as long as you have inspiration, you can learn magic and Taoism. I said, Old Tang, what's the matter with you?"
Facing everyone's gaze, the anger on Old Tang's face gradually turned into depression.
"Brother Shui, do you know what it feels like to have no talent? Even if you work a hundred times harder than others, you can only watch others leave you far behind. Others can understand everything at a glance, and you can master it as soon as you learn it. Well, you will only become more and more disappointed with yourself... You don’t understand, you all don’t understand, I understand, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment..."
Looking at the dejected Old Tang, Brother Shui hesitated to speak.
However, Cain stepped forward and kicked Old Tang staggering.
"Why are you acting like a bitch? You still have inspiration after all. I, K, Sonoya, Doctor, none of us have inspiration, and we are not as pretentious as you..."
Old Tang immediately succeeded, rubbed his buttocks and laughed: "You don't need to have inspiration, don't you have Li Liang..."
"What the hell..." Cain raised his feet.
Old Tang moved out of the way nimbly and hid next to Mesai.
The atmosphere became relaxed again. Li Liang shook his head and said to Brother Shui, "Thank you for your hard work. How many people have you found now?"
"There are more than 700 people in Zhongjing, Denali, Xin'ao City, Rocky Mountain, and Bay City. Most of them are from Level 1 to Level 2. There are less than 100 people who are above Level 3, and three have reached Level 4. There is one at Level 5." Brother Shui took out a cigarette and lit it, exhaling a puff of smoke. "At first we planned to expand the screening scope in the name of the census, but the progress was too slow. Currently, we are mainly screening candidates taking civil service examinations. .”
"Take your time, where is the person with level 5 inspiration?" Li Liang asked with interest.
Tao Yiran from Zhongjing was pleasantly surprised when his inspiration level reached level 4. He did not expect that there would be another level 5 inspiration.
"In Xinao City, there was a seventeen-year-old girl. When she was discovered, she notified the Order Bureau and protected her secretly."
"Bring her here," Li Liang stroked the double ring, "I will enlighten her myself."
Brother Shui nodded, took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"No," Li Liang waved his hand, "I brought a woman from the Fuji. You can test her inspiration level later."
"OK."
"One more thing, Alan, take out the book."
Allen took out his magic bag and tapped the mouth of the bag with his wand.
Boom!
Dozens of magic books were dumped on the floor.
"You inspired Pension. Take the time to learn the language of Pension's essence and lay the foundation first." Li Liang leaned over and picked up a book and handed it over. The cover read "The Whispers of the Lord of Seals".
Brother Shui took the book with a heartfelt smile on his face.
"Hey, hey, hey, hey~~~" Old Tang ran over shouting and squatted in front of the pile of books and said anxiously, "What about me, what about me, what essence did I enlighten~~~"
Li Liang picked up another book and smiled: "Read it yourself."
"Between All Things," Old Tang read out the title on the cover and looked up blankly, "What does it mean?"
Allen explained slowly: "The awakening of the essence represents the transformation of all things. You humans have a word to describe this power."
"What word?"
“The Midas turns gold.”
Old Tang was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed Brother Shui and shook him hard: "Did you hear that, I turned stone into gold, I enlightened you, I'm awesome, fuck, I'm awesome, I'm awakening, Brother Shui~" said His voice was already crying.
"Hmm, um..." Brother Shui said perfunctorily, burying his head in rummaging through the pile of books.
Li Liang also squatted on the ground, picking out books related to the awakening essence one by one, and stuffed them into Old Tang's arms.
""Potion Science", "The Codex of Master Alchemist Layaniemi", "The Mineral Codex of the Central General Territory"...Ah, this book, this book is the basis of the language system, "Make All Things Hear Your Voice", and "Ancient Times" The Heritage of the Gods"..."
For a moment, Old Tang held a large pile of books in his hands, with his chin on the top one, grinning and shouting: "Are there any more? Are there any more?"
"It's over, I'm stunned," Cain rolled his eyes.
"This is magic, so charming," Allen said with emotion, standing next to the stack of books and pointing out the world, "Hey, Old Tang, you have to read that book first, "Hagni: Proclamation of Kings", hey, Chen Yishui , this one, "The Commandments of Machisas"..."
Massey also came to join in the fun, picking out books with many pictures, while Dr. Sisson held up a book and muttered: "How is this automatic translation achieved..."
Looking at the noisy crowd, Li Liang smiled knowingly.
Cain tilted his head and reminded: "It's time to go, Watanabe Harukichi is waiting for us."
"Um."
The two quietly left the room.
As he walked out of the medical building, Li Liang suddenly felt something. He turned around and saw Kujo Yui standing quietly in the sparse bamboo forest, his eyes lowered, like a statue.
For some reason, he felt that Kujo Yui seemed to be a little different at this moment.
"What is she doing?" Cain subconsciously reached for the holster strapped to his thigh.
