Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

"Who stipulated that people in the same organization must love each other?" Adams shrugged, "It's better to say that it would be better for that trash to die, which would just save me a little trouble."

"In short, you can just treat us as members of the same study group, we don't have that deep relationship." Adams said lightly, obviously not wanting to say more on this topic with Li Ang.

Study groups...hehe...if only it were as easy as Adams made it out to be.

It's a pity that Dan died too simply at the beginning, and there were many things that he didn't have time to tell Li Ang, which made Li Ang a little baffled now, what kind of organization was behind this badge, Dan handed this badge to him, and signed it again. what an idea.

Li Ang wanted to know the answers to these questions very much, but the only person present who knew clearly would not obediently cooperate with him... These questions can only be asked later when there is a chance.

"So... one last question,"

Li Ang took a deep breath, pointed the dagger at Adams in front of him, "Who are you?"

Hearing this, Adams showed a very happy smile.

"Then, please allow me to introduce myself again."

Adams said a very ancient courtesy to Li Ang, and said slowly.

"My sire, Paul Adams, was the original founder of this company."

Chapter 80 The Eternal One

Paul Adams?This popular name... Li Ang has some impressions.

When listening to the people of Ball Pharmaceuticals bragging about the development history of the company, he seems to have heard of this name, the original founder of Ball Pharmaceuticals, but that was a long time ago.

Although Knights Athletic was born less than 100 years ago, capital entered the country much earlier than this. Ball Pharmaceuticals is already a veteran company with a history of more than 300 years.

The Ferring family doesn't live a long life. Among all races, life expectancy is relatively short. Adams looks about 50 to [-] years old, and it doesn't look like he can live that long.

Wait... soul?

Li Ang suddenly thought of a very scary possibility, but on the surface he was still very calm, questioning, "Oh, Paul Adams is already a character hundreds of years ago, if you say you are, I will believe it? "

Adams smiled and said indifferently, "This matter is not important, even if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter."

"Next... I want to talk to you about Mr. Wren. I think that's why you're here, right?"

Hearing this, Li Ang's mood sank instantly.

Sure enough, his actions were under the control of Adams from the beginning to the end, and now he took the initiative to showdown with Adams, which seemed a bit like throwing himself into a trap.

Li Ang suddenly hesitated for a moment, maybe...under such circumstances, it is the most correct choice to protect oneself?

But soon, Li Ang became firm again.

This world is very dangerous and cruel. Right now, he is just a lonesome ghost who snatches other people's bodies. If Li Ang chooses to back down from this danger, how can he protect the people around him?

So Li Ang replied without fear, "Not bad."

"Then, please come with me, I have something I want you to take a look at."

After all, Adams turned around and walked forward, without any intention of waiting for Li Ang. Even if Li Ang turned and left now, he probably wouldn't have any hindrance.

Li Ang followed without hesitation, and the two of them entered the deepest part of the industrial park, the tallest building. Seeing Adams pass the identity verification on the road without stopping, Li Ang's guess just now became more and more credible. up.

It is said that this is where the president of Ball Pharmaceuticals works, and no one has the right to enter this place except the president himself.

But Adams easily opened the door here.

"Welcome to my private laboratory, Mr. Li Ang."

"You should be the first person other than me to enter here in the past 100 years."

Contrary to outside rumors, the top floor of Ball Pharmaceuticals headquarters is not an office at all, but a secret laboratory that has been in operation for an unknown amount of time.

The various equipment in this laboratory... can be regarded as the development history of Terra's modern scientific research, from the ancient alchemy cauldron to the most cutting-edge optoelectronic equipment, all can be found here.

"Really? Should I be honored by this?" Li Ang said sarcastically.

"certainly,"

However, Adams accepted Li Ang's sarcasm with a natural attitude, "This is my life's painstaking effort, you should feel honored."

"After all, you can't find another person who studies immortals like me."

"Immortal? Like a parasite, hiding in other people's bodies?" Li Ang's voice was extremely cold.

"It seems that you have a deep opinion of me." Adams shrugged, and did not deny the idea of ​​using another person's body, "But I think you have misunderstood a little, I am not yet an immortal."

"The method I use can only prolong my own lifespan at most. Even longevity is difficult to achieve, let alone compared with those legendary 'eternals'."

Eternals...referring to a specific group?Rather than simply referring to people who have lived for a long time?Such a question flashed in Li Ang's mind.

"You probably haven't heard of the name of the immortal, which is why you have such a misunderstanding. That's good, maybe you are more familiar with another name for the immortal."

After Adams whetted Li Ang's appetite, he whispered a word, "God."

"The immortal is the god in the legend."

God...Ming?Does such a thing really exist?

From Li Ang's ignorant expression, Adams got a lot of satisfaction.

Hiding here for hundreds of years to conduct research alone, Adams almost drove himself crazy. Even if he researched something, he couldn’t find anyone to share or show off. Research that no one knows Results... Can that still be called research results?

But what made Adams helpless was that he was still researching those shady things. If his research results were leaked out, even if he hid in Casimir's capital, he would not be able to keep him.

Now that someone has offered to send it to the door, Adams will naturally not let go of this good opportunity to satisfy his desire for performance.

"However, although they are called gods, they are not completely without weaknesses. Immortality does not mean immortality. They can also be injured. There are many people who successfully 'killed gods' in history. A certain emperor of Yan, he killed almost all the 'gods' in the territory of Yan with the power of the whole country, but the country of Yan also paid the price of suffering."

"Since then, the gods have gradually disappeared from this land, and it has become a story passed down by word of mouth. In this era, only scholars and explorers know these secrets."

In other words, those fairy tales are not pure fairy tales, but a history that happened in the past?Hmph... Li Ang really didn't pay much attention to this kind of story, his energy was basically put on the study of Originium skills.

"Is the story over? I didn't come here for you to give me a history lesson." Li Ang said impatiently.

Although he was very interested in the immortals mentioned by Adams, Li Ang did not forget that his purpose was to save Ryan's soul.

"Don't worry," Adams said unhurriedly, "Besides, the initiative is now in my hands. As long as you still worry about Mr. Wren's life, you can't do anything to me."

"Or...you can also try to kill me, maybe Mr. Wren's soul will go back by itself." Adams bewitched.

Of course, if Li Ang really did what Adams said, he would have been tricked by him.

"...What exactly do you want to do?"

"You can understand that a person who has been alone for a long time finally found someone to talk to."

Adams smiled and said, "I have a question for you."

"What do you think is the difference between immortals and ordinary people?"

Chapter 81

In Adams' view, the immortals are not the "gods" that people generally recognize, but there are essential differences between them and ordinary people.

The lifespan is so long that even Sarkaz can't match it. If there is no external force involved, it seems that there have never been immortals who died of natural old age, and some of them are even older than the history of the entire Terra civilization.

The power of the immortal is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the most powerful human can hardly kill the weakest immortal one-on-one.

As a matter of fact, most of the downfalls of the immortals were caused by human lives. Therefore, even if the true dragon of the Yan Kingdom guaranteed that Dayan would no longer be threatened by the immortals, the people of later generations would respect him. Evaluations are still controversial.

So, what causes this difference?

More than 300 years ago, before the mobile city was invented, and the concept of "country" did not exist in the world of Terra, Adams was fortunate enough to witness a "God's descent".

A village of hundreds of people was silently killed in the blink of an eye, and no cause of death could be found afterwards.

Even after these 300 years of development, it is difficult for the current Originium technology to do that kind of thing. As one of the lucky survivors, Adams' inner shock cannot be described in words.

From that day on, a seed was planted in Adams' heart, and until now, he has been working hard for the original goal.

As for the question just now, Adams didn't expect Li Ang to answer it. If he could get the answer so easily, he wouldn't have squatted here and studied it for hundreds of years.

"It's the soul," Adams said, "at least that's what my research tells me."

While saying this, Adams bypassed the research equipment that was still in operation, and walked towards the depths of the laboratory.

In the deepest part of the laboratory, a large gap appeared in Li Ang's perception, somewhat similar to the situation in the R&D center, where something interfered with Li Ang's perception.

However, the intensity of interference here far exceeds that of the R&D center, and Li Ang is completely unable to perceive what is there.

As Li Ang approached that area, some blurred images appeared in the completely blank perceptual world. Only then did Li Ang realize that the interference did not come from the room itself, but... an object itself preserved in it.

Li Ang could vaguely guess that the thing in front of him that interfered with his perception was the purpose of Adams' painstaking efforts to bring him here.

After several verification procedures, Adams finally had the last door leading to that area.

Behind the gate, there is a huge 'metal coffin' that occupies almost half of the entire room. Just looking at the thickness of the protective wall outside, Li Ang feels that even if the building is demolished, there is no way to hurt the things inside. a cent.

Although the strength of the outer wall of this room is lower, it is not easily broken.

In that metal coffin, there is only a nutrition tank less than one person's height stored, and that special thing is stored in the nutrition tank.

Li Ang was finally able to 'see' the original appearance of that thing at such a distance that he could almost touch it with his hands——

A piece of flesh the size of a fingernail.

The style of this nutrition tank is quite old, but the small piece of flesh and blood stored in it still maintains amazing activity, and an ambiguous, indescribable fluctuation continuously spreads outward from the flesh and blood.

It was this special fluctuation that interfered with Li Ang's perception, but Li Ang was also quickly adapting to this interference.

No matter how special this piece of flesh is, its size is too small. If the owner of this piece of flesh is here, no one can tell the final result.

"What is this?" Li Ang couldn't help asking.

"'God's skeleton', that is, a small piece of flesh and blood of the immortal." Adams replied casually.

As he spoke, he walked into the next compartment and put on a thick protective suit. During this time, he turned around and asked kindly, "Do you want to change too? We are not much different in size , there should be no problem."

"……no need."

Although Li Ang couldn't figure out what medicine was sold in Adams' gourd, Li Ang would definitely have a conflict with him in the future. If he put on a protective suit now, wouldn't he be asking for trouble for himself?

"That's right," Adams nodded thoughtfully, "this piece of flesh and blood should not affect you."

"I took a lot of effort to find this piece of flesh and blood from an underground ruin. It may be a 'sacred object' enshrined by a certain extinct tribe."

"Even after such a long period of time, this piece of flesh has not lost its activity, but I found an interesting fact from it. This piece of flesh is no different from normal humans in terms of DNA or other components."

"However, no matter how I test it, I can only get the same conclusion. This piece of flesh and blood comes from an ordinary female."

"In the end, I came to a conclusion that although there is no difference in our bodies, the differences in our souls have created an insurmountable gap between us."

Adams opened the thick partition wall, reached into the nutrition tank, and fished out the piece of flesh the size of a fingernail.

The flesh and blood left the nutrient solution and trembled slightly in Adams' palm.

"After listening to me for so long, I think you are also feeling a little impatient." Adams raised his head, staring at Li Ang through a thick layer of goggles, "You want me to release Ren's soul ? Okay, that's perfectly fine."

"I can guarantee that apart from some weakness, Ren's body will not have any problems, and even...his strength will become stronger than before. This can be regarded as my compensation for him."

"As long as...you promise me one request."

"……any request?"

"Eat it." Adams smiled and handed over the piece of 'divine skeleton'.

"It's impossible!" Li Ang refused without thinking.

Although he really wanted to save Ren, he never had the idea of ​​involving himself in it. This kind of carrion left over from many years ago must be unlucky for anyone who touches it. Adams was also wearing a thick protective suit. Dare to take that thing out?

"Yeah... If you agree directly, I will feel that there is a problem."

"However, do you think that in this situation, you can still make the decision?"

Following Adams' words, gratings composed entirely of energy descended from the sky, completely blocking Li Ang in a small area.

"Eat, this is your destiny...a representative of an unknown god..."

"Apostle of God."

Chapter 82 Apostle of God

"It's long overdue."

Trapped in place by the grating, Li Ang didn't feel any panic in his heart, he even secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It is quite tiring to make false claims with Adams, and it would be simpler to do it directly like now.
