i'm not a cyberpsychopath

Chapter 404 Tamura Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.
Li Pan tasted one, tasted it carefully on the tip of his tongue, thought about it, and thought about it for a while, and he was basically sure.

炁

Breath of heaven, pure air

In Taoism, it is called Taoist breath, which is the breath of the great road. It is also the root pulse that drives the reincarnation of the world.

Therefore, in theory, even in a world like 0791, there is Taoist breath, but the breath is very, very weak, not the same order of magnitude as magic elves and so on. If the way of heaven does not change, even the son of heaven who meets once in a thousand years will not be able to do anything. Practice.

And even in Penglai, a serious world of immortals and demons, a paradise of caves, and spiritual practice with extremely abundant zhenqi, even if there are various magical skills and secret methods, due to the different qualifications, realms, and bones of the practitioners, they still have different abilities. There are physical limitations of the human body's own breathing function. There are limits to what breathing can be done by breathing in and out, and there are limits to how much Tao breath can be absorbed and refined, and the progress of cultivation varies greatly.

Therefore, Xuanmen has always been studying ways to collect, condense and purify Tao breath through artificial means to improve the efficiency of Qi refining. For example, making various magical instruments, formations, and talismans, and condensing the Tao breath from the gaseous state into an ultra-high-concentration liquid, which is the Tao breath essence.

Then dilute this Yuanjiu with different solvents to different concentrations, mix it with various herbs, wine, and meat, and it is the so-called "qiongjiang", "yuye" and "dantang".

And to go one step further, add heavenly materials and earthly treasures to this high-purity elixir, seal it under high pressure, simmer it slowly with civil and military fires, precipitate crystals, and solidify it. This is alchemy in the standard sense.

Li Pan himself tried it in the last time and space, and even gave the authentic Penglai elixir to his pets, but the effect was really not very good. The absorption efficiency of ordinary people is too low, the elixir cannot be stored for a long time, the conversion rate is low, and most of the Tao information has been dissipated between heaven and earth.

After all, the Ito family was originally the Demon King, the Whisperer, and an in-depth participant in various mikoshi projects, and then Li Pan caught his eye and gave him a wink, saying "Moshan Seduction Dafa", don't complain about this name, the soul is a After hooking up, Professor Tamura did not doubt his presence and took Li Pan all the way into the secret underground research institute.

Well, gene reprofiling is also a popular project. These days, rich people still want to become gods more than developing the stars and the sea.

Ahem, okay, in fact, human body enhancement by replacing spinal fluid is also a common method of human body modification. Not only is it recorded in Moshan's method of transforming people, but it is also a commonly used enhancement method within Wuche Academy.

There is no major surgery today, so come with me and put on MSPM. "

His main focus was still on the cooperative research with Tokyo University and the large number of projects arranged by Takamagahara's upper management.

Yes, but it’s expensive. Isn’t this a cost consideration? How much does an artificial human uterus cost, and how much does it cost for a poor person?
Moreover, the Sons of Dawn's control over their own patents is much stricter than that of the Security Bureau. If you dare to steal other people's genetic primitives to make bionic people, they will dare to send two Dawn Legions from hundreds of aircraft carriers to clean up the ground.

The main topics are mitochondrial autonomous mutation and artificial hormone synthesis. In vernacular, it means analyzing and studying the demon genes collected by the demon-sealing ninjas, analyzing the legacy of the ancient legion elves, and using reverse technology to develop cosmic beings and artificial beings from all over the world. Reversely study the lost legion technology, find the perfect means of transforming human genes, carry out Gao Tianyuan's unique human completion plan, and contribute to the implementation of the Demon King's rebirth project.

But speaking of it, I have never visited a research institute of this level. If it is convenient, can you take me around for a few rounds to see your laboratory? "

All you need to do is find a few researchers from the University of Tokyo who work for free and are grateful for your support, and put on duty twelve hours a day in heavy level five biohazard protective suits, extract data, maintain equipment, and do something After basic inspection, the entire pharmaceutical factory can operate completely autonomously.

Professor Tamura didn't care, he flipped through his schedule.
"There are so many high-level people, it's just daily research and data analysis. Many times, doing experiments is like a lottery, just betting on luck.

"Haha, you are such an outsider. Let's find a club for a drink?"

But this thing that Sage Company came up with, 'Yaochi No. 1', is incredible.

Gao Tianyuan trusted Professor Tamura because he was the kind of person who specialized in scientific research and didn't care about producing replicas of unpatented prescription drugs or profit-making health care products.

But this alone is not enough. In the past, the priest also tried to use Xuanming Zhenqi and black oil to make bullets. It may be able to extend the storage time, but that kind of thing is definitely not absorbed by the human body.

"So are there any successful test subjects now?"

Of course, although the name is a pharmaceutical laboratory, it is actually more of a research center in Gaotianyuan. It is just a private introduction of advanced equipment from the heavens in order to cope with the restrictions of the advanced technology embargo treaty of the heavens. Money is spent on these things, and it would be a waste to leave them idle, so you can make some extra money by doing OEM work for other companies and synthesizing customized chemicals.

And needless to mention, they all skip the animal experiment stage and use humans to collect the most accurate and direct data specimens. Explore the potential of the human body through the most advanced biotechnological modifications.

As experimental subjects, they were genetically edited in their mothers and kept in these large and small sterilization cages for experiments since birth. Rather than saying they are human beings, it is better to say that they are just weird monkeys who can't speak.

An old man in a white coat walked into the living room, interrupting Li Pan's contemplation. This man was Tamura, the director of the Pharmaceutical Institute, a professor at the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, an SEC-certified scientific researcher, and an in-depth participant in the Whisperer project.

"Oh, it's not a big deal. There was a sudden announcement from above about a sudden fire inspection. There must have been an accident somewhere. As a result, each of our departments had to go through a process to fool the astronauts in the Star City Council.

What's more, is there any difference between genetically modified clones born in artificial wombs and orphans born in slums and sold by their parents before conception?

Well, it should be spinal fluid.

It has to be said that even in this remote laboratory, the entire set of equipment is very high-end, including advanced drones, automatic assembly lines, and the most advanced detector testers in the world.

Other ingredients are also added to enable the human body to absorb the true Qi medium...

Li Pan also smiled,

The entire underground research institute is like a freak prison, with all kinds of weird, inhuman, but vaguely humanoid creatures. Moreover, the vast majority are minors.

With the professional knowledge provided by Li Qingyun, a master who has specialized in alchemy for 800 years, Li Pan could naturally tell that this was a mixed solution prepared by adding Daoxiyuan pulp to black oil and using protomolecule oil as a solvent.

What? Why can you taste it? Because he drank black oil. Oh, you’re not asking about this, but you’ve also drank that...

"It's been a long wait, Ito-kun. Are you okay, sir?"

Some people may ask, can't we use the genetically modified human cloning technology like Sons of Dawn?

To be more precise, it is the spinal fluid of practitioners who can withstand this purity of Taoist essence. After all, according to the instructions for use, the normal method of use is to 'inject it below the spine and deliver it to the lumbosacral canal near the nerve roots'. It is not something you chew on.

Well, I also know from Rama's experience that these are babies exchanged from the new immigrants who moved to the Night City on the condition of applying for a residence permit.

So the two put on bracelets, spread a millimeter-level synthetic polymer film on the body surface, and entered the laboratory after going through more than a dozen doors for dust removal and sterilization.

"Haha, this guy is still having so much fun at his age. I'm so envious. So, what's the point of the Eighth Office?"

"No, no, it won't be good if it delays your business. You are busy with your business.

In fact, the research content is similar to Kiryu's. They are all illegal real-person experiments. However, they do not rely on the metaphysics of demons or aliens, but more on scientific and technological civilization, from the rewriting of genetic profiles, various artificial chemical drugs and Research and transform the effects of radiation on tissues and organs.

"Don't you want to steal the division and report it to the security bureau? Haha, you're just kidding, come with me..."

"Thank you for your greetings. The director drank too much in Yoshiwara last night and took leave today to recuperate at home."

But where did the Sage Company capture a cultivator? And where did such a high concentration of Taoist essence essence come from? It can't be local to 0791...

Kiryu Kazuya often injects the various messy demon blood demon cells he cultivated into the spinal cord of the demon-sealed ninja to promote the independent evolution of the human body. The rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation. Whether it can be achieved depends on your fate. . Everyone has an open mouth.

I thought it had been a long time since I'd visited my uncle, and it was pointless to stay in the office all the time, so I took the liberty to come for a walk. You wouldn't chase me away, would you? "

Aren’t we all ordinary people with the same face, the same heart, and the same genome?
Well, it’s similar to how ancient humans experimented with rhesus monkeys and chimpanzees.

Nowadays, the indigenous people on the surface and the cosmic people on Jupiter have actually become polarized into different human subspecies, but at the genetic level, they all have the same origin, the same class and the same branch.

So these days, the so-called 'human resources' may only have a little experimental value for medical purposes.

Moreover, weren’t the parents of the children selling them to Tamura Pharmaceuticals themselves? It's just an exchange of equal value, a fair money transaction.

It is also useful to society. This is a blessing for mortals. Maybe some people will be so grateful...

"Why is this room empty? Where is the fire monkey inside? Did he escape? Or was he dissected?"

Li Pan stopped at the door of a laboratory. From the surveillance video, it appeared that a returning woolly orangutan was previously locked up here.

Well, when the mood is high, the black hair on the whole body will burst into flames, and the whole body will turn into a fire ape. Not only will it breathe fire from its mouth and nose, but it will also be born with supernatural power. It can beat intelligent soldiers to char and tear them apart at will. It is so fierce... It should be After genetic modification and strengthening, Rama has completed his body, right?
Professor Tamura checked,
"It was bought by a private buyer two days ago. I heard it was taken to play explosive ball."

Li Pan raised his eyebrows, "Exploding ball?"

Tamura, "Oh, it's just a ball that explodes, and then a group of people grab it..."

"I know what an exploding ball is..."

Li Pan was speechless for a while.
"But why buy a...furry baboon?"

Tamura spread his hands,

"I don't know. Maybe those uneducated people think it's fun. There are many restricted-level Mewtwos like this on the Deep Web. Maybe some people want to use that body to eat barbecue."

Li Pan frowned,

"Will he eat barbecue?"

Tamura chuckled,
"I'm a bastard. I just hide in the corner and cry every day. It's useless.

But it's okay to use it for fun. Just add more medicine, cut a lobe, add a remote control or something, and you can use it as a dog. "

"It won't come in handy... That's right. After all, I'm just a kid, so I haven't had the chance yet...

No matter what, thank you for letting me see the secrets of your office. This can be regarded as settling a matter on my mind, so..."

Tamura smiled and said,

"This is not a secret, it's just some random experimental subjects.

Why, Ito-kun, do you want to see the real secret? Tell me earlier, I have something good here. follow me. "

"Oh, are there any good things?"

Seeing that the other party was smiling like a primary school student showing off some secret treasure, Li Pan had no choice but to restrain his temper and follow Tamura to the deepest part of the research institute.

Here, through the thick sealed door, you can see some kind of creature. It was restrained in a huge container, its limbs were cut off, its mouth and nose were inserted into a jar and various LCL nutrient solutions, vitamin stimulants were forcibly injected, and its skull was also cut off. Open it, insert electrodes to shock, and forcibly maintain the body's immortality.

"Who is this? Did he offend you?"

Tamura said proudly,

"Hehe, it's the 'Devil King'."

Demon King? But it looks like it's just pieces of meat that have been made into human pigs...

"Of course not Mr. Oda. She is an experimental subject that failed when the Demon King project was launched last time. In this way, it is difficult to say that she is a person. My task is to 'complete' her.

But in a sense, this can't be considered a 'failure', after all, her death has been 'made up'. She couldn't die even if she wanted to, and if she left it alone, the rampaging sea of ​​flesh would submerge Tokyo, but her body fluids were used to make a cheap recovery agent. "

Tamura manipulated the system, using a robotic arm to draw blood from the piece of meat, and then injected it into a petri dish containing some white piece of meat.

"This is maggot...LARVA source protein?"

"Huh? Ito-kun is very skilled in business, you can tell at a glance."

The white flesh immediately began to stir, and the nerves, muscles, and bones began to regenerate and replicate themselves, growing into human-like hands and feet, human-like limbs, and human-like body.

But there is no head and no face.

Like peeling cicada sloughs, like snake skins, like silkworm cocoons, human shells shed off, a pale skin, appeared on the test platform.

Tamura operated the mechanical arm to lift up the clothing-like human shell.

"This is the 'Mother Clothes of Ghosts and Gods'."

"Mother's clothes..."

The mother's coat is a part of the Takamagahara samurai's armor. The bamboo frame is covered with a cloak and carried on the back like a large lantern. It is used to protect against stray arrows and to hold the severed head.

The thing in front of me does look similar, like a headless human body, bent over and curled up into a ball.

"These are actually the fragments of Lord Oda's Onishin Armor. Because this failed 'Body of the Demon King' could not withstand the power of the Onishin, it summoned the complete Onishin Armor, so part of the fragments broke into her body and could not be taken out. And with repeated tearing and healing, it merged with her and became the prototype of this ghost and god mother's clothing."

Through the live broadcast, the robotic arm took the 'Ghost Mother's Clothes' to a cell outside and threw it onto a certain boy who was a reformer. The boy didn't change his expression. I don't know whether it was because his senses were removed or because he didn't feel much pain. He didn't react at all even after carrying a big bag.

But the mother's clothes seemed to be alive. With a swoop of hands and feet, the fingertips penetrated deeply into the young man's back and shoulders, sucking the blood. Visible to the naked eye, the color turned from white to pink, and from pink to red, just like a giant tick. Parasitic on people's backs. The more I sucked, the bigger I sucked. Finally, with a "kabo" blow, the entire human body was sucked dry, broken, and sucked into the 'mother's clothing' bag. Only a bunch of tentacle-like limbs were stuck outside, like a drill. Octopus in a jar.

Li Pan frowned,

"...So what's the use of this thing? Can it eat people?"

Then before he finished speaking, in the blink of an eye, the 'Mother Clothes of Ghosts and Gods' disappeared into the air like a punctured balloon.

Then the darkness spread, completely shrouding the cage into an abyss that was invisible.

"Because most of the 'Ghost Armor' is still over there. These fragments do not belong to this world. They have devoured flesh and blood, and when they grow to a certain size, they will be taken back over there.

Then, the door was opened. "

"Door……"

Tamura grinned,

"The door to the underworld! Come, take you in and have a look!"
