Dark, dark, dark.
The endless darkness swallowed up all the brilliance.
Lingchan opened her eyes wide, and a chaotic past seemed to flash past her eyes, making her dizzy.
Hua Hua Hua——
Lingchan opened her eyes and found herself lying in a pipe, her body sliding forward quickly. The glass pipe in front of her was foggy. She tried hard to look out, but she could only see a piece of the huge glass pipe she was in. When you look at the Internet at a glance, you can't see the edge.
Nianyan lowered her head, and there was water for lubricating under her body. Lingchan lifted up a handful. The light blue liquid was slightly viscous. She didn't know what it was, but Lingchan suddenly felt a little warm when she soaked in it.
She squinted her eyes and looked outside again, only to find that the fog on the glass seemed to have disappeared, and her vision became much clearer. She finally saw that these pipes were connected to huge glass jars, and the blue liquid flowed in and out quietly. The naked man has his eyes closed, rising and falling with the flow of the water.
There are children, there are teenagers, there are young people.
Some have skin covered with fish scales, some have ear fins protruding from their hair, and some have a beautiful silver-blue fish tail.
They have the same face.
The face of Andel San Delteano, Son of the Temple.
Ling Chan was horrified for a moment.
She remembered what Andel told her that there was the so-called "secret of the birth of gods" here.
Is the Temple conducting human experiments here? Or genetic research? Are these many clones based on Andel, or... is this where Andel was born?
What does the Temple think of humans? The pigs and dogs it herds? Is this the compassion of God?
Lingchan only felt sick.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound in the room where there was only the sound of silent water flow. The glass was violently smashed and scattered on the ground. In these connected pipes, the flowing liquid began to surge towards the only exit.
Lingchan's intuition was wrong. She supported the wall, struggled against the momentum of the water, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.
Andel stood in the surging light blue liquid with an indifferent expression.
His expression was not at all the gentle and compassionate one that Chan was familiar with. He was as cold and sharp as an unsheathed knife, and actually looked a bit like the expressionless clones in the glass tube.
Andel took off his clothes.
The muscles are tight and the lines are smooth. The body of the fair young man is densely covered with eyes one after another. There is no white of the eyes. The color of the eyes is bright golden. The eyes are majestic and arrogant, as if they are gods standing high in the clouds. But even this can't change them. A sense of horror that grows on people.
Lingchan bit her lip and asked the system: [At that time, he wanted you to tell me not to look...]
[More scary than now. 】The system still felt dizzy when thinking of that scene. Even its electronic system felt dizzy. Of course it didn’t dare to show it to Lingchan! [In addition to eyes, it also has many hands. It doesn’t look like a person at all. It’s very strange. Ugh. 】
Lingchan: [...so strange. 】
That was all she could say.
Everyone stood still and held their breath, minimizing their sense of existence, and watched Andel catch the clone that fell out of the glass jar. The moment their skins touched, the clone's skin was scorched black, and Andel's eyes swam. As if moving, it moved to the clone's body.
Along the path that the golden eyes walked, the skin was torn, and light blue blood seeped out from the wounds and dripped into the flowing blue liquid. The color and texture were exactly the same, and they quickly disappeared into the turbulent blue river, as if they were originally one.
Ling Chan felt the cool and sticky touch of the blue liquid as it passed over her skin, and she got goosebumps all over her body.
This is blood!
Andel, or the blood of clones! How much blood is there in a person's body? How many people's blood must be drained to allow the blue liquid to flow in this huge pipe?
The Andel underneath has been used up. The first clone is scorched black, and its eyes are looking at the test site majestically.
Andel hooked his fingers, and water surged out, picking up all the clones and throwing them into a dark pipe.
The system explained in a low voice: [That is where the laboratory handles experimental waste. 】
Lingchan: [……]
She had mixed emotions as she watched Andel break another jar, pull out a clone, and grab it by the neck. One arm after another appeared on the clone's body...
The system said: [He is transferring the cosmic radiation absorbed by his genes, and at the same time absorbing the intact cells in the clones to replace the mutated cells, allowing these clones to bear the consequences of genetic aberrations. 】
Lingchan counted that Andel used a total of seventeen clones.
Seventeen.
Although the glass pipe has a frosted texture, the friction is not great. Her arms supporting the wall pipe are already quite strenuous and her strength is exhausted, making Chan gasp for breath.
Ander put on his clothes, then changed his expression to a compassionate one, and said gently: "You've been watching for so long, why don't you come out?"
Lingchan couldn't hold on for a breath, and her hands loosened. Just as she was about to fall into the pile of blue liquid, a stream of water suddenly surrounded her and took her out of the glass tube.
This stream of water was transparent and clear, surrounding Lingchan and turning into a water ball tailor-made for her.
Lingchan sat on her knees in the water balloon, supporting the water wall with both hands, biting her lip and saying, "You noticed me from the beginning."
Ander is a water superpower, and the blue liquid is his blood. Of course, he can sense that Ling Chan is peeking.
"Do you feel disappointed?" He smiled, and the smile was so precise that it seemed to have been tempered for thousands of times. A little more would make him look eager, and a little less would make him look hypocritical.
"The so-called Son of God is just a pig or dog, a test subject on the operating table, a product of the assembly line - not a lucky man favored by the gods, nor a miracle of human destiny."
"This is just a scam by the temple."
Lingchan frowned and said: "I don't believe in gods, and I won't be disappointed with anyone - I will only place my hope on myself, and I will never be disappointed."
"You are the one who is disappointed, and you are disappointed in yourself."
Andel put away his smile, and his silver eyelashes trembled slightly, like fluttering butterfly wings, "I never thought that I would do whatever it takes just to survive."
He stared deeply at the girl in front of him, unable to speak.
Half paid, he said, "Is there anything you want to know?"
Lingchan said unceremoniously, "Did the previous Son of God also be in the same situation as you?"
"It would be easy for the temple to change its face."
Andel answered.
"Can you put me down?"
The water ball wrapped around Lingchan and slowly fell into the blue liquid on the ground. Lingchan tried to stand up. The water ball shrank and turned into a water suit that completely fit the skin, isolating the blue liquid from the outside world.
Lingchan stretched out her hand and gently touched the back of Andel's hand through a layer of water, "Does it hurt?"
Those eyes, those mouths, and those weird limbs were all transferred here. The flesh and blood torn by these extra organs have now healed.
