Marvel: Father of Biochemistry

　　Peggy turned around and looked at the dumbfounded look of the assistant, and couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, it didn't work out!"

　　The assistant was completely dumbfounded this time, "Head~ Since the negotiation didn't work out, why are you so happy? Those high-level executives said they had to win it!"

　　"I don't understand?" Peggy looked at the assistant and asked, the assistant nodded blankly after hearing this!

　　"Well~ I don't understand, that's why I'm the director!" Then Peggy ignored the confused assistant and directly greeted the driver to drive!

　　Not to mention the situation that Peggy will face after returning, just say that on Mephisto's side, after dinner, he asked Mu Fangfei to go back to the room first, while he himself came to the study!

　　After entering the study, Mephisto pressed a button hidden on the desk, the bookcase in front of the wall automatically separated to both sides, and a silver-white metal door appeared in front of him.

　　After Mephisto came to the door and entered the password, a silver-white metal passage with a sci-fi color opened in front of him, and he walked in without hesitation.

　　The basement research room of Speipin Manor.

　　"Where did you find such a miraculous plant? If it weren't for its effects being vividly displayed in front of me, I couldn't believe that there would still be such a miraculous plant in this world. The ability to evolve at a higher level, we should call it a 'miracle'!"

　　As soon as Mephisto entered the underground research room, he saw such a fanatical appearance of Dr. James Marcus.

　　As a Ph.D. in biology, James was hired by Umbrella Pharmaceuticals to work for Mephisto many years ago, and now he is sitting on the position of chief researcher by virtue of his qualifications and abilities. The new version of the super soldier serum is from his hand!

　　Just five days ago, when Mephisto came back, he sent someone to inform him to stop the work at hand and prepare to receive a new project. At first, James was very reluctant, but he was always in charge of the serum. Don't worry about giving it to others!

　　But when something new appeared in front of him, James directly put the serum thing aside, and even agreed to Mephisto to come to the underground laboratory under the Speipin Manor to do closed research. .

Chapter 38

　　"I got it from the remains of the Dubaiya tribe in West Africa. For him, almost everyone died there, and even I broke an arm, so I was lucky to get out of that hell!"

　　The plain but slightly fortunate words came into James' ears. He, who had heard a little about Mephisto's previous experience, did not continue this sensitive topic, but brought Mephisto to a petri dish. Before.

　　At this time, there is a flower in the petri dish, which is composed of red irregular-shaped petals and green slender rhizomes. This flower is the miracle that James said before!

　　"After preliminary testing, I found that this flower contains a viral substance in the form of RNA, which can improve the human body's abilities, including physical strength, mobility, etc., and is likely to prolong human lifespan, so it is called ' Miracles are no exaggeration!" James had already quit the frenzy just now, and calmly said to Mephisto!

　　"Since it's a virus, apart from these, there must be negative effects?" Mephisto put his head close to the petri dish and looked closely at this flower that he was so familiar with!

　　"Yes, the virus contains toxins, and according to tests in animals, it stimulates the organism's immune system, leading to systemic inflammation, necrosis of the skin and other outer tissues, massive loss of body fluids, and secondary infection of various diseases, ultimately leading to Death!" Dr. James pushed his glasses and said regretfully!

　　'If only there were no toxins! ' James said with emotion.

　　However, after Mephisto heard the words, not only was he not disappointed, but he told James a story.

　　"The flower's name is 'Sun Staircase', a name from the Dubaiia tribe, which dates back to..."

　　A legend or a historical story about the 'sun stairs', under the narration of Mephisto, appeared in front of James' eyes!

　　In ancient West Africa, there was an empire called Dubaiia. In the underground core area of ​​the empire, there was a flower bed.The flower beds are planted with the holy relic of Dubai - "sun stairs" flowers.

　　This is a flower with a highly poisonous substance, and only a few who can be recognized by the gods can survive after eating the flower.

　　If you want to become a king, eating flowers is an inevitable test.The flowers will also bring the new king a long life and great power.For thousands of years, the Dubaiya Empire has relied on this method to choose its leader and regard him as a person recognized by God.

　　And this inheritance ceremony of Dubai Ya continued until the 19th century.

　　One of the scholars was fortunate enough to see this ceremony and record it completely!

　　"And the only book with this record happened to be preserved by the Speipin family!" Mephisto's words ended here. He believed that James could understand the meaning, so he left directly after he finished speaking. underground laboratory.

　　And James is looking at Mephisto's back in a trance!

　　"What a madman, to go looking for a plant that may not exist at all for a story. The scary thing is that he actually found it!" After James recovered, he muttered to himself with a shocked expression, and then Turn around and go back to the laboratory.

　　After listening to Mephisto's narration, James easily understood what Mephisto meant. If someone in that ancient empire could eat the 'Sun Staircase' and not die, or even become a king, it would prove that the Sun Staircase's There is a solution to toxins!

　　From a biological point of view, the only plausible explanation is that after the surviving individuals were infected with the virus, the immune receptors in their bodies mutated, preventing the superantigen toxins in the virus from stimulating the cells and allowing them to survive.

　　Simply put, this toxin can actually be immunized by individuals, but there are very few such individuals, and what he has to do now is to find a way to solve the toxin of these viruses based on this information, and at the same time realize what is in the story. The effect achieved!

　　"'Long life' and 'strong power' are such obsessive terms!" The frenzied expression appeared again on James's face, who was looking at the flowers on the sun steps.

　　Just when James disregarded his working hours and devoted himself to new research with a fanatical attitude, Mephisto, who had just pretended to leave in front of James, finally returned to his big bed and entered the beautiful world. time off.

　　In the past few days, the preparations for the Blue Umbrella Project, the follow-up arrangements for the super soldier serum, and the research and development and confidentiality of the 'Sun Staircase', all require him to personally intervene. If it is not for Mu Fangfei to share a part for him, Morpheus I feel that I will definitely be exhausted by myself!

　　"It's time to recruit troops!" Mephisto, who was lying on the bed, sighed suddenly. What he said suddenly was not a feeling after a whim, but a conclusion drawn after careful consideration.

　　If at first he just wanted to rely on his own ability to be a rich man with peace of mind, and then occasionally be a superhero or something, it would be nothing!

　　But he is unwilling to be only a capable person. Everything he does now is purposeful, from obtaining the super soldier serum, establishing the Umbrella company, and now starting to study the 'sun ladder', which means that he has never been one People who are content with the status quo.

　　But now even he is not exempt from the custom. The stall is so big that he always needs some people to manage it.

　　"Sera, viruses, research, companies, Blue Umbrella Project, mutants..." One by one nouns came out of Mephisto's mouth, and as the voice gradually weakened, Mephisto was Totally fell asleep! .

Chapter 39

　　Day [-]. [-] am

　　Just when Mephisto was still soundly asleep, the Speipin Manor welcomed a group of young guests.

　　"Sister Mu, where has the master gone?" A blond girl was looking around with Mu Fangfei's arm around her, looking for Mephisto.

　　"You, aren't you the most afraid of him? Why do you want to see him as soon as you come back!" Mu Fangfei nodded the girl's head angrily, and then turned her attention to the one who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea by herself Man, "Charles, won't you introduce me to the friends you brought?"

　　As soon as Charles swallowed the black tea in his mouth, he heard Mu Fangfei's words and was about to get up and introduce the people he brought to Mu Fangfei when the blond girl was next to Mu Fangfei and spoke first, "I'm here, I'm here. Come, Sister Mu, I'll introduce them to you!"

　　Charles shrugged and looked at Mu Fangfei, obviously waiting for her to decide!

　　"Okay, Ruiwen, let you introduce your friends to me!" Mu Fangfei glanced at the blond girl who was eager to try, and couldn't bear to discourage her, so she reluctantly asked her to introduce her.

　　The blond girl, Rui Wen, the Mystical Girl, was obviously very happy after hearing Mu Fangfei's words, and brought Mu Fangfei to a group of young men and women sitting on the sofa, still looking very restrained.

　　"This is an angel~" "This is Darwin~" "This is a torturer~" "This is a beast~" "This is a siren~"

　　"Dang dang dang, and I am a 'magic shape'!"

　　Rui Wen introduced everyone in a light tone, and finally introduced herself solemnly, but in exchange, Mu Fangfei had a blank expression on her face.

　　"Baby, do you think those are nicknames?" Mu Fangfei was silent for a while, then she came to her senses and asked Ruiwen!

　　"Yeah, that's the nickname of each of us, and Charles, we named him 'Professor X', but he doesn't accept it!" Ruiwen said with a little regret, and gave Charles a fierce look at the same time. !In the face of Ruiwen, who was making an immature performance at the moment, Charles chose to ignore it!

　　But at this moment, a hearty laughter came in from outside the door of the living room, and along with the laughter was a rant, "Hahaha, Charles, I think the name 'Professor X' is quite suitable for you. !"

　　Accompanied by the ranting words, the one who entered the room together was Mephisto, who was dressed in a beautiful handmade suit and looked bright. In fact, he woke up when Charles arrived, but he came over after some cleaning up!

　　As soon as he entered the living room, he went straight to the place where Mu Fangfei and Rui Wen were standing. With his arrival, Rui Wen didn't seem to be jumping off at all, just like the mouse saw the cat, and just hid After arriving at Mu Fangfei's back.

　　"Hide, are you still hiding?" Mephisto said as if grabbing a chick, and easily grabbed Rui Wen from behind Mu Fangfei, "Say, go there all this time. I haven't seen anyone for several months, if it wasn't for a call or two from time to time, I would have thought you were dead!"

　　"Ah~ I didn't go out to the wild, I went with Charles to find a companion!" Ruiwen, who was caught by Mephisto, squatted on the ground and hugged her head, as if afraid that Mephisto would hit her , with a hand pointing at Charles over the sofa.

　　Ruiwen's attitude made those mutant friends who had just met her dumbfounded. The visual sense of a mouse meeting a cat made them seem to know the girl again!

　　Being pointed at by Rui Wen, all eyes were on Charles. It is worth mentioning that when Mephisto arrived, Charles stood up, and along with those mutants who were unknown, he could only Get up from the sofa.

　　"Mr. Mephisto!" Charles first greeted Mephisto under everyone's attention, but he did not explain what happened to Ruiwen, because he had always told Morpheus about Ruiwen's affairs. To report.

　　Mephisto nodded to Charles, then glanced at Ruiwen, who was squatting on the ground and peeking at him, feeling a little helpless. Maybe it was because of her mental age. Ruiwen's years in the Speipin Manor, Although ostensibly just a new maid.

　　But in fact, he and Mu Fangfei were favored by him like a daughter, so he developed his current character, but fortunately, even if he is the role of a father, he is also a strict father. Trouble!

　　On the contrary, Ruiwen's attitude towards Mephisto is not like her father's attitude. Apart from being a little afraid of him, she also has some other feelings vaguely. After all, the two are only one year apart in age, and anything is possible. !

　　After Ruiwen saw Mephisto look over, she immediately put on a begging expression, because Mephisto did not continue to hold on to her affairs, but looked at other mutants!

　　Charles also took advantage of the situation to introduce his mutant companions one by one, but his introductions were completely useless to Mephisto, and he was very familiar with these people who had seen the movie.

　　A former stripper with a dusty atmosphere, she is an 'El Salvador Angel' with a pair of insect bionic wings that can fly, spit venom and flames at the same time!

　　The big boy with short brown curly hair is a 'sea monster' who can send out ultrasonic waves through his throat to smash objects.

　　The big boy with short blond hair and a little silence is a 'devastator' who has the ability to absorb the surrounding cosmic energy and convert it into energy shock waves through his own body.

　　There is also the only black guy in the crowd, a former taxi driver 'Darwin' who has the ability to change his body with the external environment!

　　Last but not least, the shy-eyed boy 'Beast' with a super high IQ and the power of a beast!

　　Plus Raven, and Charles, except for Magneto's absence, the X-Men are gathered here! .

Chapter 40

　　"Hello everyone!"

　　Mephisto greeted the group of young mutants, but the effect may not be too ideal, only a few people responded, namely Darwin and Angel.

　　The former was a taxi driver and the latter was a stripper, both of which were not easy jobs, so the two of them were much more mature than the other mutants who were still big kids, whether they were dealing with people or things.

　　Among them, the angel even threw a wink at Mephisto in front of everyone's eyes. Ruiwen was slightly unhappy, but because she was a mutant friend she just met, she didn't have a bigger reaction!

　　When Mu Fangfei saw this, her face was cold. She had dealt with Mephisto's many debts, and her tolerance was much stronger, but her senses for this woman with a dusty atmosphere were unexpectedly poor.

　　'The xenophobia of mutants has been revealed at this time? ' No more response, Mephisto said in surprise. As for the wink thrown by the angel, he completely ignored it. In the movie, he had a very bad sense of this woman, and it is still the same in reality. !

　　In order to find out what was going on, Mephisto turned on his psychic abilities and prepared to listen to the voices of several mutants, and the angel who winked at him was the first to bear the brunt.

　　'Oh my God, it seems that he should be the owner of this manor. The manor is so big, he must be very rich, if he catches him, he will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life. As for the old lady, who is going to cater to those squatters and striptease?But watch out for that baby-faced woman, she's an opponent! '

　　There was a smile on the face of the angel, and his eyes kept staring at Mephisto's movements, looking forward to attracting his attention. When he occasionally swept across Mu Fangfei, there was a trace of hostility in his eyes!

　　When Mephisto saw her like this, he was quite unhappy. He really had nothing to say about this woman who was different in appearance, so he quickly blocked her voice, so as not to accept her philistine thoughts.

　　'Hey~ I'm actually involved with such a person, I don't know why Charles came to us, I can only take a step by step! 'This is Darwin, who looks normal on the surface, but is worried about the unknown in his heart.

　　'Ah~ I'm so annoying, my throat is so itchy, but so many people are so serious, they can't make a sound at all, I bear it~ I bear it~' The Kraken squeezed his throat from time to time, itching in his throat , but the feeling of not being able to scratch makes him go crazy, but in the current situation, he can only endure it!

　　'Charles said there is a way to help me control my ability and not let it hurt others, so what does that have to do with the person I'm here to see now? 'Silent ravager, with doubts echoing in his heart!

　　'He's the founder of Umbrella Corporation!I've seen it in news reports, and if it's working for him, with Umbrella's research power, it should be able to fix the soles of my feet! ' The beast, who recognized Mephisto's identity, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

　　Hearing this, Mephisto can be considered to have a general understanding of the attitudes of these people. Among them, the ravagers and beasts obviously want to solve the drawbacks caused by their mutant abilities. Darwin and angels have no special pursuit. , then nothing more than those material things.

　　As for the Kraken, it is more like a child who has not experienced setbacks, just like a normal person of his age, but his mutant ability still has some small troubles for him!

　　"Clap clap~" Mephisto clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, then pointed to himself and said, "Introduce yourself, Mephisto Spencer, the owner of this manor, of course you all. Some of you may not have heard of my name, but most of you should know Umbrella, right?"
