Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"I'm not saying this, I mean... if you continue to be so lazy, you may become a useless person." Mulseth said helplessly.

"But...there's nothing else I can do here except watch TV..."

Mulseth was speechless.

The Liboli girl in front of her was none other than her good friend Magellan, a senior researcher at the Rheinland Life Sciences Research Institute.

Six months ago, due to a series of unexpected accidents, Magellan ended his routine Sami expedition ahead of schedule, and with the cooperation of some local Sami people, he sent her back to the Rhine to live.

Magellan submitted a detailed report on this short experience, but before her report could attract the attention of Rhine Life executives, her friend Muir Seth discovered something unusual about Magellan - she was infected with the ore. disease, and the symptoms are somewhat unusual.

Muir Seth, who was extremely sensitive to the Origin Stone, almost lost half his life due to this careless contact. This also made Muir Seth realize how bizarre the changes in Magellan were.

After that, Muirseth used his authority to transfer her to the Ecology Department in the name of cooperating with the experiment. He also sent a special avatar to destroy the first version of the report submitted by Magellan and rewrite it under her guidance. A less sensitive report was handed in.

Although the director of the Science and Technology Section complained about this, Muir Seth was one of the first veterans of Rhine Life. After protesting several times to no avail, he said nothing more.

Unlike the silly Magellan, Mulseth knew how difficult her problem was. She had doubts about Parvis before, so she did not send Magellan to the structural department for treatment. Now it seems that she had Sure enough, there was foresight.

"Miaomiao, when can I leave... It's so boring to stay here..." Magellan said angrily, holding his chin in his hands.

It has been more than half a year since she came here, but she has never left. She is not even allowed to go out for a walk.

If it weren't for the constant presence of Muir Seth by his side, as well as TVs and computers to pass the time, Magellan would have been driven crazy by this environment.

However... Magellan was not a character who could stay quiet, otherwise he wouldn't have become an explorer.

Within half a year, Magellan could no longer bear it any longer.

"The state of your body...is strange."

Mulseth thought about it and decided to reveal some of the situation to Magellan and let her calm down a little. "If you leave here now, the best outcome is to be shot dead on the spot by the chemical defense department."

"Isn't that true? Is it so exaggerated?"

Magellan was startled by Mulseth's serious tone.

"It's such an exaggeration...haven't you seen your physical examination report?"

"Actually... I can't quite understand the data..." Magellan stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.

After all, she is an explorer and not a professional doctor. It is good to know some first aid knowledge. It is impossible to understand the pile of professional reports given to her by Muir Seth.

Hearing this, Mulseth sighed helplessly and explained to Magellan,

"To put it simply...your current body is a large source of pollution."

"It is no less dangerous than an equivalent volume of active source stones."

Chapter 22

The problems with Magellan were big, very big.

Even if Muir Seth's field of expertise is not medicine, anyone with a little bit of medical knowledge will know that if the human body's body temperature reaches 40 degrees, it will be life-threatening.

Even if treated promptly, it may cause irreversible brain damage.

But Magellan... her average body temperature is now close to 41 degrees, and the temperature in some parts even exceeds the physiological limit of humans.

According to medical theory, Magellan should have suffered many complications such as shock, convulsions, and systemic organ decay, and he could notify the incineration department at any time to deal with this troublesome infected body.

However... Magellan is now alive and kicking like a normal person, and the extremely high body temperature does not seem to have any effect on her.

Her appetite is normal, she can run and jump, and she looks healthier than most people. Even if she returns to the light again... no one can return to the light for more than half a year, right?

After conducting a detailed examination of Magellan, Mulseth had to admit that Magellan's body had undergone a change that she could not understand. Magellan's body had reached a strange balance, except for a slightly higher body temperature. Besides, she couldn't be healthier.

After half a year of continuous testing, Muirseth also discovered some useful clues.

Magellan's strange condition should be caused by the Origin Stone. She has been diagnosed as an infected person, but the test results are obviously different from ordinary people.

First of all, the fusion rate between Magellan's somatic cells and the Origin Stone is only 0.1%, which is consistent with the characteristics of the initial stage of ore disease.

But...the parts of her body that are fused with the Origin Stone are extremely special. They are regularly distributed in several locations in the heart, forming a special structure.

The original price crystal density of Magellan's blood has been fluctuating back and forth around 0.8u/L, and the highest even reached an exaggerated value of 1u/L.

To put it simply, Magellan's blood can be stuffed into some small engines and used as fuel with a little processing.

Muirset had never seen such a...gentle source stone.

She thought about it for a long time, and in the end she could only use the word gentle to describe the situation inside Magellan's body.

Before being purified to the level of pure Origin Stone, the properties of the Origin Stone are extremely unstable. The Origin Stone particles contained in Magellan's blood have obviously approached the critical state, but they still did not turn Magellan into a big bomb. Bang The sound exploded into countless pieces.

Instead, these Source Stones flowed through Magellan's body with the blood, providing energy for the special infection structures in her heart. In the reciprocating motion of the heart's constant contraction, a simple but very effective spell structure was formed. .

It is a very basic spell that is often used to seal some energy bodies.

Every time Magellan's heart beats, this spell is released in her body.

Even if it is a very simple spell, at a terrifying frequency of nearly a hundred times per minute, the strength of this seal has reached a very exaggerated level.

The seal is now empty, but its structure still remains, which has also caused Magellan a lot of trouble.

Because of the Originium particles approaching the critical point in his body, Magellan is now equivalent to a very large source of pollution, and may explode at any time.

Only the Ecology Department has the technology to control the pollution on Magellan. In her current state, it is impossible to let her leave no matter what.

Although... Muirseth is not sure whether the too 'mild' Source Stone in Magellan's body will cause harm to ordinary people... After all, even with the sensitivity of elves, if you are not careful, Direct contact with Magellan's body only cost Mulseth half his life and made him suffer for a long time.

And if Muir Seth had been exposed to the active source stone that had also reached the critical point at that time... Well, her memorial service would have been held for half a year.

All in all, although Magellan's body was theoretically very low-polluting, Muir Seth did not dare to let her run around.

Moreover, her strange state is worth studying. It would not be surprising if she was suddenly slapped by Parvis and dragged back to the structural department for research.

"Anyway, this is your current state."

After a pause, Mulseth concluded to Magellan, "If your problem is not solved, you must be prepared to live here for a long time."

"Oh...I don't want it..."

Magellan drawled his voice and said pitifully, "I still have many places I want to explore. Don't lock me here for the rest of my life..."

"So... Mai Mai, tell me what you went through in Sami,"

Mulseth said to Magellan earnestly, "Only if I figure out what happened to you can I help you solve the problem..."

The things on Magellan's body were obviously man-made, and it was impossible for them to be caused by a normal infection.

According to the initial investigation report submitted by Magellan, she mentioned that she was invaded by an unknown life form in Sami, and someone saved her through special methods.

And the price...is to become the nondescript infected person that he is now.

Until now, the stunned Magellan has not reacted. Although she has become an infected person, this special infection state is something that many people only dream of.

Now that you have been infected with mineral disease, it is impossible to be infected a second time. At most, the condition will be aggravated.

However, the special structure in Magellan's body has formed a dynamic balance. Even if her condition worsens, it will only cause her heart rate to accelerate and release more sealing spells to consume the Source Stone that has entered the body.

Unable to fuse with body cells, it is thought that Magellan's infection level will always be controlled at the initial stage.

Infected persons at this stage may not even realize that they have been infected with oriosis.

This is also what Mulseth dreamed of.

In order for the elves to adapt to this industrialized modern society, there are only two paths in front of Mulseth.

One is to change the elves themselves and find a way to make the elves not so sensitive to the Source Stone. The second is to change the external environment, which is the path Muerseth is taking now, to artificially build a home for the infected.

The hope of the former is too slim. The elves cannot even access those cutting-edge instruments. How can they possibly correct the physiological defects of the entire group?On the contrary, it is more realistic to change the external environment.

But in Magellan, Mulseth saw another kind of hope.

"No!" Magellan shook his head repeatedly, "I have promised to keep it secret."

Magellan's answer did not go beyond Mulseth's expectations. She had asked Magellan this question many times, but she had always kept this secret secret and did not reveal the slightest bit of news.

"I'm really impressed by you." Mulseth patted his head helplessly, "I don't know what you went through in Sami..."

"Hey, that's a secret." Magellan replied with a smile.

Obviously, even if he is his friend, Magellan does not intend to break his promise.

"Okay, okay, I'll think of something else."

As he said this, Mulseth suddenly froze.

She came to see Magellan, obviously to share her joy. Why did she become like this inexplicably?

Sure enough, it's probably because this guy is so sloppy...

Shaking his head, Mulseth said to Magellan, "By the way, I almost forgot... I originally wanted to tell you that my research has found a good breakthrough, maybe it can be achieved That’s what I’ve always wanted.”

"Hey, is it true?" Magellan's eyes suddenly widened.

As one of Mulseth's few friends, she certainly knew his wishes.

Of course, Magellan also knew how difficult it was to realize this wish. Mulseth had been stuck on this difficulty for several years and could not even find a single idea.

Now she suddenly said that she had found a breakthrough. How could Magellan not be surprised?

Of course, being so boring here is also an important reason why Magellan's interest was aroused.

"How did you find it?"

"It's because I met a strange guy."

Mulseth said with some pride, "He actually has the ability to control Originium particles in the air. As long as his ability can be clearly studied, I will have ideas for my next research."

"But...that's not necessarily true at all..."

"That's better than having no idea at all."

"That's great... Then I wish you all the best in the future?"

Mulseth always felt...that he seemed to have forgotten something again. -

At the same time, the Ubika family mansion.

After getting in touch with Xingji, Adele temporarily lived in their family's mansion as a friend of Xingji.

Mr. Ubika, who had just sold the Astrology Association for a good price, was in a good mood and readily agreed to his daughter's request without even asking.

Afterwards, Mr. Ubika disappeared and went somewhere cool with the money.

Xingji just looked at his father indifferently, without any emotional fluctuations due to his actions.

Although on the way to Colombia, she had heard from Xingji that her relationship with her relatives was not very good, but when Adele saw it with her own eyes, it was still beyond her imagination.

Even after just spending a day in Ubika's mansion, Adele noticed the subtle atmosphere around Xingji.

Xingji's mother was a very traditional noble lady, and she was also very concerned about Xingji herself. She took her daughter, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, to greet her, as if she was still a child who hadn't grown up, which made Xingji confused. I feel a little embarrassed.

But...except for her mother, including Xingji's father, they had a completely different attitude towards Xingji.

At first, Adele thought it was because of her status as a Xingji infected person.

Adele knew very well that not everyone could accept the infected. When she first contracted the ore disease, it took her a long time to adjust her mentality.

So Adele felt that Xingji probably encountered the same thing.

But soon Adele realized that those people were not afraid of contact with Xingji, but there was always a hint of mockery in their eyes when they looked at Xingji.

After holding it in her heart for a long time, Adele couldn't help but ask this question.

"It's nothing... they were just laughing at me. Even if they were infected with ore disease on purpose, they could not improve their magic abilities." Xingji replied calmly.

"But, Xingji, didn't you contract the ore disease because of an accident?"

Adele remembered that the situation of Xingji infection was quite special. It was because of the special connection between blood relatives that she contracted the ore disease inexplicably.

"Do you think they will believe this explanation?"

"..."

Adele didn't answer, but the answer was yes.

Even after they learned about Xingji's situation, they were dubious for a long time.

"What's more... in our family, there is a precedent of deliberately contracting ore disease in order to improve magic abilities."

Xingji said very calmly while flipping through the classics in his hand, "In their eyes, I am probably the kind of fool who wants to use ore disease to strengthen myself because he is afraid of losing to his sister, but it ends up being self-defeating. "
