latent body

Chapter 54
"You... you wait a minute."

Hearing this, Ling Zihan couldn't help interrupting Kong Linlin again: "According to what you said before, the fertilized egg must be mature... What is the liquid in those boxes?"

He thought it was an ordinary nutrient solution, but now it seems that the real answer is quite different from his own thinking.

Kong Linlin said solemnly, "That's the amniotic fluid from my body, and it's also the best biological culture fluid."

Ling Zihan had the urge to cover his face with his hands.

Why would I eat that damn pearl of light?
The resulting dire consequences go beyond vomiting.

"...Continue to talk about Kong Jun." He clenched his left fist tightly, and then let go: "Why did you post the escort mission on the Legion Network? Also, why did Kong Jun want to become a worker in the Wansen Group's steelmaking plant?"

Kong Linlin did not shy away from it at all, and talked freely: "The pearl of light has a very complicated process from birth to maturity. The union between the Pope and the saint can only produce fertilized eggs in the conventional sense, which is the foundation of the pearl of light."

"The reason why the fertilized eggs are given to the saint is because only the saint can cultivate them."

Ling Zihan immediately thought of the amniotic fluid soaked in the Pearl of Light in the Box of Broken Order.

As she spoke, Kong Linlin raised her head and looked at the corpses of the children hanging from the ceiling: "Each of them is special. Blood type, genes, proportion of biological basis, living environment, and state before being killed... All of these are very difficult. I spent a lot of time stealing residents' information from the city database, comparing them one by one, and finding targets one by one."

"The matching time limit between boys and girls cannot exceed 24 hours, otherwise the cells in their bodies will die in large numbers, and they will no longer have the appropriate activation level to be absorbed by the Pearl of Light."

"Absorb?" Ling Zihan had new doubts in his heart.

Kong Linlin explained: "A pearl of light must absorb a large amount of bio-energy from birth to maturity. According to different needs of evolution and maturity, the required bio-energy is divided into two types."

"The first type comes from well-built men who have been carefully selected. I need the healthy essence they normally excrete to inject into the Sequence Box... During this breeding process, the size of the Pearl of Light also expands."

"The second type is more special and more difficult to obtain. The target is boys and girls over the age of nine. Their blood type matching must be O and AB, and there is a detailed comparison table for genetic matching, which must be strictly followed."

"Even if the blood type and genes of children in the wilderness meet the requirements, they cannot become the food of the Pearl of Light. Because their physique does not meet the requirements, they are very weak, and they do not have enough nutrients in their bodies. Long-term food on cassava will lead to a decline in the proportion of the biological basis. Only children who eat high protein and fat for a long time and have a biological proportion of at least 30.00% or more can meet the requirements."

This ratio made Ling Zihan feel puzzled: "30.00% five?"

Kong Linlin explained: "The Pearl of Light is actually a living thing. Although it is only a larva, they are very picky about food. I am not very clear about the specific absorption process. In fact, when the Grand Pope gave me the embryo, I always thought it was very ordinary. Later, I found out that it was not what I thought at all."

"Seed embryo?" Ling Zihan frowned. The sudden appearance of this weird word made him feel even more confused.

"That's the masculine essence of the Hierarch." Kong Linlin continued to explain, but the speed of her speech became obviously slower, and a hesitant expression appeared on her face: "I am a believer who worships the sun and light, and I do not reject having a special relationship with the Grand Pope. Before that, I thought that the Hierarch was like other men, and the sperm injected into my body was just for the purpose of carrying on the family. Later... the Grand Pope told me that he gave me the embryo, and I have since become the saint of the Sun Sect."

"I think this should be a change from the genetic level. I also have the ability because of it."

"Even if this kind of thing is told, no one will believe it. It's just a simple intercourse between a man and a woman, and I actually possess the divine power that countless people envy."

"I know that there are supernatural beings in this world, and I also know that they can release powerful energy with just a wave of their hands. But I never dreamed that one day I would become one of them."

As she spoke, Kong Linlin looked at Ling Zihan affectionately: "Just like you."

Ling Zihan looked indifferent: "I am your enemy."

"You can be my lover." Kong Linlin's thoughts shifted extremely quickly. On the one hand, the future she thought of came from the absolute crushing of Ling Zihan's strength, and on the other hand, it came from her long-hidden ambition.

"I can change for you. I will follow your request and become the most beautiful woman in the world."

"Believe me, it can be done. It's just a piece of skin. If you fancy a woman, I'll cut off her head, cut off her face, and put it on my face."

Ling Zihan controlled the shock and anger in his heart, and slowly shook his head: "You are a terrible lunatic...you are crazy."

"I'm not crazy." Kong Linlin's expression was indifferent, and the corners of her mouth were raised with obvious sarcasm: "The best method of genetic enhancement is the optimal combination. Although the Grand Pope gave me the seed embryo, I have a feeling——your seed embryo should be better than the Grand Pope."

Ling Zihan didn't want to continue this terrible topic, so he turned to the next best thing: "You just said that the Pearl of Light needs biological protein as food, but they don't even have the most basic human form, how can they absorb it?"

Kong Linlin's expression became serious.After a long time, she said slowly: "This is the reason why I became a saint."

"This is a special activation method. I don't know the exact method of operation. The Pope released the seed embryo in my body, and after I released the fertilized egg, the people from the Sun Sect injected it with hormones... Sorry, I don't know anything about the detailed process and the specific drugs used. I only know that it went through the ritual... Well, yes, it is indeed a ritual. After that, the fertilized egg completed the process of transforming from an ordinary egg to a bright pearl."

"The initialized Orb of Light has become a kind of animal. Although they don't have limbs, and they don't have intelligent organs such as brains that produce self-awareness, they have special channels to absorb protein energy."

"As long as the pearls of light are placed on the absorption target, they will release body fluids, dissolve the target protein base, and then absorb through the outer membrane of the body surface."

"This feeding process is very similar to the larvae of mosquitoes and flies. The difference lies in the large amount of protein and nutrients absorbed by the Pearl of Light."

Kong Linlin raised her head and looked at the corpses hanging from the ceiling with empty and emotionless eyes: "Pair a man and a woman, put the pearl of light between the two corpses, and absorb nine times in a row to satisfy the main source of nutrition of the pearl of light."

A strong anger rushed to the top of Ling Zihan's head: "There are four bright pearls in the box. According to you, they are all immature. That is to say, if no one stops you, you will continue to look for new targets and let more innocent children become their food?"

Kong Linlin hurriedly explained: "No, that's not the case. The pearls of light are absorbed in units of five and injected at the same time. I was lucky to find nine groups of boys and girls who met the requirements in a short period of time. Now all the pearls of light in the Box of Sequence have absorbed enough biological energy. They don't need to be injected with more nutrients. As long as the time is up, they will mature naturally."

"Another method is ripening." Kong Linlin turned her attention to Kong Jun: "We live in a cold environment, and the temperature of the pearl of light must be ripened to a sufficient temperature. The interior of the biological foundation of human beings exceeds 35 degrees, so I asked Kong Jun to go to the Wansen Group Steel Plant to be employed as a worker there."

"I implanted a pearl of light in his body. The normal maturity period is no less than [-] days, but if he stays in a high-temperature environment for a long time, the pearl of light in his body will also be affected, and the maturity period will be greatly shortened."

"This is actually a process of absorption. The pearl of light will gradually "eat" Kong Jun's biological foundation, and after it matures, it will start to dormant and self-enclose."

"As you can see, there is only one body left of Kong Jun now. All his essence has been eaten up."

"Liu Mingquan more or less found out some of my secrets. He had doubts about Kong Jun. But he didn't find the Pearl of Light implanted in Kong Jun's body. To ensure safety, I issued an escort mission in the last week before Kong Jun left."

Ling Zihan nodded slightly, and asked: "Since you don't have any shortage of material or money, why don't you release a higher-paying task level and find more powerful helpers?"

"It's too ostentatious to do that." Kong Linlin said frankly: "Although the Sun Cult has a large number of believers, and I, as a saint, can use a lot of resources, but we are not the opponents of the major groups... I can't even provoke Liu Mingquan, so I can barely protect myself."

Ling Zihan deeply agrees with this.

"One last question." He stared at Kong Linlin's disfigured face: "Why did you let me eat the Pearl of Light? This is the core secret of the Sun Cult, why didn't you give it to the Grand Pope?"

Kong Linlin seemed to see through what he was thinking, and said seriously: "Because I think you are stronger than the Grand Pope, and I think it is much better to give the Pearl of Light to you than to the Grand Pope."

"I need a man as good as you." She spoke without any scruples, her eyes filled with an extremely strong desire to swallow Ling Zihan: "I spent a lot of thought and money building this place. As long as the energy field is turned on to the maximum, even a squadron of the highest combat level will die if it enters."

"You came in several times back and forth, but you were not affected at all. This is a miracle in itself, or it should be said that it is a special ability belonging to God."
