Chapter 97 [Prometheus Project]
Mickey asked in surprise: "You actually know Michelle, how did you meet her?"
Ge Xian then told about how he was injured after participating in stopping the werewolf virus, and then met Michelle during treatment in a military sanatorium, and Mickey suddenly realized it.
"Michelle is my sister, and we are twin sisters." Mickey introduced.
"Ah, twin sisters, but I don't think you are that similar, right?" Ge Xian looked at them carefully, shook his head and said.
Mi Qi stroked her hair and said: "I have hated being compared with my sister since I was a child. Later when I grew up, I joined the army and my face was injured during a scientific research mission, so I simply asked for it. After plastic surgery, I looked like what I am now, and I finally got rid of my sister’s shadow.”
I see.
Only then did Ge Xian understand why he thought of Michelle when he first saw Mickey. However, at that time, his memory was temporarily uncertain. At the same time, he and Michelle were not that familiar after all, so he couldn't remember it at once.
"My sister is a celibate, well... to be precise, she doesn't like men. She has had many girlfriends since middle school, which made her parents very worried. Later, we came to China to develop, and I founded the company after I retired from the army. In my own company, she stayed in the military medical branch. I heard that she has never been married. We rarely see each other now. She has a lot of opinions on my plastic surgery, and I can't stand her dictating to me." Mi Qi rambled on. He complained to him about Michelle for a while, but Ge Xian could only express his understanding. Michelle was indeed different, and he seemed to have seen that she and Mo Jin had a very good relationship. The two seemed a bit...couldn't they?
Ge Xian shook his head and was about to speak when the kitchen door opened. A man with an imposing appearance was carrying two dishes. Murong Fei behind him was also carrying two, for a total of four dishes. In addition, there was another in the kitchen. Soup.
The mature man in front of him does not look old, he looks like a man in his thirties.
He has a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, and a charming aura. His eyes have the charm of a domineering CEO. Such a man is simply born to be a mistress. No wonder Murong Fei said that his father's experience with women is enough to publish a book. .
"Hello, classmate Ge Xian, I am Murong Fei's father, Murong Bai. Nice to meet you." The man's voice was like a bell, full of energy, and he said to Ge Xian.
"Hello, uncle, it's fate that Xiaofei and I can become college classmates. In fact, I have no intention of accepting a disciple. I just want to be friends with Xiaofei. I hope my uncle and aunt won't misunderstand." Ge Xian raised a glass of wine and looked at Murong Bai He raised a glass with Mickey and said.
Murong Bai and Mi Qi looked at each other, and then he spoke with a hearty smile: "Xiao Ge, you don't have to be like this. We don't have any intention of blaming you. Today we mainly want to meet you and get to know you better."
Murong Fei was not happy and said directly: "Master, you can't say that, we are already master and apprentice. We in China have a saying, once a teacher, always a father!"
The scene suddenly became awkward. Ge Xian scratched his scalp and looked at Murong Bai without knowing what to say. Murong Bai also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This son was excellent in all aspects, but his emotional intelligence was more than a little lower than Ge Xian's.
Mickey laughed heartily. She didn't mind these jokes at all. In her opinion, it was fine for her son to be straightforward and happy, no matter what his rules or irregularities were.
Only then did Ge Xian feel relieved, and Murong Fei also realized it. He poured himself wine in one awkward breath, and soon became drunk. Murong Bai helped him to the guest room to rest.
When the meal started again, Murong Bai and Mi Qi exchanged glances, as if they had something important to say to each other. Ge Xian also slowly put down his chopsticks, ready to listen.
"Gexian, you are a citizen of my human world and a cultivator at the same time. I wonder if you have heard of the natural disaster fifty years ago?" Murong Bai asked first.
He was stunned. He didn't expect that the two people in front of him actually knew about it. It seemed that his identity was not simple... Would ordinary technology company bosses know these secrets?
Seeing Ge Xian's silent response, Mi Qi added: "Don't worry, we have no ill intentions towards you. You first listen to us tell a story about the past, and just treat it like a story."
Then, she gestured with her eyes to Murong Bai, who continued: "Fifty years ago in the war between the two worlds, both the spiritual world and the human world were severely damaged and have not yet recovered, but the human world was the most serious and was almost wiped out. "
Murong Bai's eyes were filled with sadness at this moment. It was sadness that could not be concealed. Perhaps he had lost a relative in that war.
"After the war, the survivors from the human world gathered together and began to ask a more serious question. If in another fifty years, the spirit world launches a war against the human world again, how will humans respond?" Murong Bai looked at Looking at Ge Xian, he found that his eyes were as deep as water, showing no emotion or reaction. He couldn't help but sigh, he is indeed a young hero, very comparable to others.
So, he continued: "For this reason, the survivors of the human world have made a plan for the next war between the two worlds."
"The name of the plan is - Fire, also called - Prometheus Project!" Mi Qi continued Murong Bai's words seriously.
Ge Xian's heart was shaken, and he felt that the gears of fate seemed to be turning in another direction, and the future seemed to become treacherous again.
In the myth, Prometheus stole fire for mankind and opened up human wisdom and a new era. However, he suffered cruel punishment and made a huge sacrifice.
"I would like to hear the details." Ge Xian decided to listen. The couple in front of him were probably the country's core secret scientific researchers, but why did they tell him about this plan? Aren't they afraid of leaking it? After all, he is considered a cultivator now, and he is likely to go to the spirit world in the future.
Mickey paused and continued: "The purpose of this plan is to continuously select outstanding seeds from the next generation of humans and even the next generation. These seeds will grow into great warriors to fight against the cultivation of the spiritual world. People, you may have already come into contact with some of them.”
"Super soldiers?" Ge Xian suddenly remembered the super soldier plans that all countries were pursuing. Some countries even went astray and created the terrible werewolf virus.
Murong Bai nodded appreciatively and said: "Yes, the Super Soldier Project is the selection camp of the Prometheus Project. Those who become the best batch of Super Soldier representatives will participate in the Fire Project. We will extract cells from them, decipher and Compile its code until perfect and powerful genetic material is created, that is, the blood of Prometheus, and then use selected pregnant women to give birth to offspring. When these people grow up, they will have powerful and perfect Genes and outstanding talents will eventually become the ultimate weapons of mankind in the human world. This is the hope of mankind. We do not want to experience the tragedy of being massacred by monks in the spiritual world again. Only if we hold powerful weapons that can check and balance the spiritual world can we Win survival and future for mankind.”
Ge Xian felt frightened because he thought about what Xiaoyao Jun saw through the mirror world back then. If he saw all this now, then his motive for launching a war and trying to destroy the human world would be complete.
"Why...why are the human world and the spiritual world fighting each other, and they can only live and die, and can't coexist peacefully?" Ge Xian asked in a difficult tone.
Mi Qi's eyes were a little unbearable. She knew that such a fact would be a shock to the boy in front of her, even if he had powerful power.
Murong Bai's expression became ferocious. He suppressed his anger and hatred and said viciously: "Why? Why? Why didn't the spiritual world think about it like this at the beginning? They launched a war against the human world, which is inhumane. , more than half of the billions of people died, and even after decades of recovering from the trauma, humanity will never go back to what it was before.”
"Gexian, if you had experienced my childhood, you would understand how deeply traumatized that tragedy was to mankind. Many people are still unable to come out and have chosen to commit suicide." Murong Bai's tone became choked with sobs. , I don’t know who he remembered.
"No, it's impossible... I remember they clearly said that they used time and space magic to block human memories of that war. Why would you..." Thinking of this, Ge Xian suddenly closed his mouth, and he found that he Talking too much.
Murong Bai laughed, a little sad, and said sadly: "You really know... you really have contacted their leaders."
"Yes, uncle, I have contacted the leader of the Tianchi Sect in the Immortal Sect of the Spirit World. He told me about the cause of that war. The reason was that a time and space spell that glimpsed the future allowed someone to start the war. As a result, his life was ruined, and he himself died." Ge Xian simply said it, since the other party dared to tell him such a secret, he was not afraid of him leaking it.
Mi Qi shook her head and said: "Don't you think it's terrible, Ge Xian? What didn't happen was used as a reason and excuse by the other party, and then they launched a war wantonly and almost massacred all human beings. Such a tragedy cannot be repeated again. This is also the source of fire. The purpose of the plan is that we will never sit idle again.”
Ge Xian didn't know what to say, and he wouldn't persuade them to let go of their hatred. Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering.
In the mirror world, he also experienced the tragedy of the death of relatives and lovers, which made him angrily lead the human side to launch a war against the spirit world. It was not until the end of the war that he reined in the brink, but many people died, including all of him. He was familiar with Chen Churui, Liu Ying and others who were kind to him. What was the point of winning such a war, so he chose coexistence. War should not be to destroy anyone, but to defend the situation of coexistence. Appear.
If you eliminate everyone and leave only yourself, the world will still be destroyed, which is meaningless in the end.
"Sorry, uncle and aunt, I didn't expect to hear such a secret during our meeting today. If you believe me, I will promise never to tell anyone. If you don't believe it, then there is nothing I can do." Ge Xian didn't want to When he got involved, he was originally confused about what happened to Ten Ten Xiao, Xiaoyao Jun and Tantai Wuji back then. How could he join the human world's fire plan now?
Standing up and preparing to leave, Mi Qi wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Murong Bai. Just when Ge Xian was about to leave, Murong Bai suddenly said shockingly: "Ge Xian, you are a member of the Fire Project. How about that?" Can you avoid it?"
"What do you mean, uncle, please explain it clearly." Ge Xian's tone was a bit unkind. He felt that Murong Bai was too utilitarian. Perhaps he was willing to seek revenge, but he did not want to be his tool for revenge.
Murong Bai looked at Ge Xian and said, "The Fire Project has reached its third generation. There is one generation every ten years, and you are the leader of the third generation."
"What!" It was like a bolt of lightning struck him, making Ge Xian stunned for a moment.
A terrifying spiritual pressure spread out, suppressing both Murong Bai and Mi Qi. The entire tabletop was directly crushed, and many glass products around the living room were shattered.
Ge Xian's expression was very terrifying at the moment, and a desire to kill bloomed in his heart.
"You're lying!" Ge Xian stared at Murong Bai, and a spiritual consciousness locked him. Then he slowly raised his hand, and Ge Xian stretched out a hand. Murong Bai couldn't resist and could only fly in the direction of his palm.
Mickey gritted his teeth to resist the power of spiritual pressure, raised his head and looked at Ge Xian, begging him not to be impulsive.
At this time, Ge Xian was desperate, staring at Murong Bai, and asked: "I'm not a member of your fire plan, no!"
"No, you are. Otherwise, Ge Xian, why do you think you have such an outstanding talent? You can easily practice Xiaoyao Jue, which is almost a genius-like ability. These are all born with you and are the result of adjustments to the Fire Plan. ." Murong Bai said with difficulty. He felt that it was difficult to breathe, as if someone had strangled his neck.
No! ! ! !
A sad cry came, and Murong Fei was awakened by Ge Xian's terrifying spiritual pressure. When he came to the door, he saw his parents being forced by Ge Xian. He could hardly believe what he saw.
"Master, why...why do you do this to my parents?" Murong Fei asked painfully.
Ge Xian's mind returned, and the desire to kill subsided like a tide. He realized that he might have lost Murong Fei's admiration and respect for him, and the master-disciple relationship between the two might be over.
The spiritual pressure disappeared and Murong Bai fell to the ground. Mi Qi rushed over sweating profusely and gave Murong Bai artificial respiration.
Fortunately, Murong Bai coughed and woke up. Nothing happened. If something happened, Ge Xian and Murong Fei would become life-and-death enemies.
"I'm sorry, Xiaofei, I'm sorry, uncle and aunt..." Ge Xian's words did not make Murong Fei forgive him. He had a cold face and did not respond. Mi Qi also did not answer for the time being. Murong Bai was very weak and it was impossible to say anything. .
Ge Xian was about to leave in despair. Mi Qi got a hint from Murong Bai and said: "Child, it's our fault, not yours. The Tinder Project has been implemented for three generations, but no one can really grow up, especially... The first two generations will soon be forgotten by everyone. It is your generation that will gain something, and among these people, you are the most outstanding."
"Auntie, I want to ask, have my parents arranged everything, and has everything for me been arranged?" Ge Xian asked painfully.
Mickey shook her head and said: "Your parents don't know, and all the conceived people of the Tinder Project don't know. Only in this way can we cast a wide net and have opportunities to become talented. Your mother is just one of the thousands of experimental subjects that year. , we adjusted the medication for this group of pregnant women and secretly injected her with fire, so you were not an accident and your parents and family members didn’t know about it.”
Ge Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief. If his birth and family were arranged, he would really collapse.
Murong Bai regained some strength at this time and struggled to say: "Gexian, there is no way to escape fate. You will understand sooner or later."
"Thank you, but I clearly express my opinion. I will not participate in any plan against each other's camp in the human world or the spiritual world. I just want to be an ordinary human being and cultivator. The purpose of my practice is not to save mankind and the world. , not to participate in the war to kill humans or cultivators, but my pursuit and interest in the Dao, that's all, goodbye." After saying that, Ge Xian glanced at Murong Fei again and saw that he looked hesitant and very tormented, I couldn't help but sigh.
It's not easy to meet a like-minded person that I can trust, but I have to say goodbye. Although it is cruel, this may be life and fate, impermanent!
After Ge Xian left, Murong Fei asked his parents if everything was okay, and burst into tears after receiving a positive answer. He asked his parents why everything happened just now. He had obviously finally found a mentor and direction in life, but now his parents Ruined his friends and life.
Murong Bai asked his wife to tell him what had just happened, and then told him that Ge Xian and he were both members of the Fire Project. They were also outstanding among the third generation and would shoulder the mission of mankind against the spirit world.
Murong Fei left home angrily, but didn't know where he was going. He quickly received a text message, but it was from Ge Xian, asking him to meet at a restaurant near the school. Anyway, he didn't eat much just now.
After thinking for a while, he still replied to the text message and said he would go there now.
An hour later, Murong Fei met at the restaurant where the two of them usually ate. It was already a little late and there were very few people. Ge Xian had already ordered four dishes and one soup. After Murong Fei sat down, he started without saying a word. When they were eating, Ge Xian started to use his chopsticks when he saw this, and the two of them quickly finished the food on the table, like wind and clouds. It is not known whether the grief and anger turned into appetite.
After eating, Murong Fei told him the facts that his parents had just told him. Only then did Ge Xian know that Murong Fei, like him, was actually a member of the Tinder Project. It was just that this couple was so great that they actually hid it from their son. so long.
"No wonder I thought my parents were weird since I was a child. They were obviously a couple, but they were more like superiors, subordinates or colleagues. In short, they just didn't look like a couple. I might be the product of their plan to replenish the fire. Damn it!" Murong Fei asked his boss. A bunch of beer and blow the bottle directly.
When Ge Xian saw this, he had no choice but to risk his life to accompany him. He didn't want to activate the Jiuxian skills today, so he just wanted to get drunk together.
