Whispers of the Dragon

Chapter 82

"What source of infection?" Dr. Richard asked, "Did you encounter a mutant?"

Everyone looked at Isar.

This question can only be answered by Isar who has been with Xue Xian these days.

Isar's eyes showed a beast's appearance, and he used clear human language: "It is my mimic gene that entered his body."

Richard was still a little afraid of him, and asked inexplicably, "Mimic gene?"

Isar didn't want to talk nonsense, so he didn't answer again.

Dr. Bai quickly said: "Yes, that is a way to transform the human body into a multi-morphic life form, and it is done one-on-one."

How it was done, Dr. Bai will not go into details.

Except for Tammy, everyone else had different expressions when they heard this.

They all know that Xuexian has a special relationship with the silver dragon group, because he is Yuka of the most powerful silver dragon, so their relationship is naturally closer.But these beasts are relatively primitive in some aspects, how the transformation is carried out, and what is the meaning of one-on-one, everyone unconsciously has reverie.

Now is not the time to discuss this, Professor Tu quickly shook his head and said: "No, no matter it is aberrant infection or mimic gene, there will be no difference in Xue Xian. After the Perseus plan is sealed, we will Instead, he studied the bio-energy field of the dragon, using the genes of the silver dragon and the original samples in the gene bank of the mother star to edit the holy son. It completely eliminates the possibility of form transformation."

"As I said just now, the body of the Holy Son is like a stable barrier, shielding the distortion and the mimic gene."

He told everyone.

"Xue Xian will never become a dragon."

Dr. Bai, who was already pale, trembled imperceptibly, as if his soul had been sucked out.

Tammy also looked at Isar with a sudden change of expression.

Isar stood where he was, and the blackness in his golden eyes seemed to be enlarged, like the water of the deep black sea, sweeping and submerging the golden light of Theia.Isar showed no expression, but she could clearly sense Isar's mood swings, and a heart-pounding pain hit her chest empathetically.

Suddenly, the detector whistled crazily, and the invisible and intangible energy field in this room was multiplying at a double speed.

Rayleigh took a step forward and turned off the annoying hissing of the detector first.

Professor Tu, who was only focused on analysis and didn't notice the change in the atmosphere in the room, hurriedly observed Xue Xian's biological cabin.

Xue Xian fell asleep, her eyelashes covered her lower eyelids, looking very peaceful.

But as if in response, his biological cabin also issued a warning sound. Professor Tu quickly operated on the panel to make Xue Xian more stable, and continued: "Your mimic gene is too overbearing, his The rejection reaction intensified, and the energy in his body skyrocketed, exceeding his physical load. Fortunately, it was discovered early, if this continues, his lifespan will be shortened dramatically—”

At this point, Professor Tu stopped abruptly.

Dr. Richard didn't speak any more, and even Raleigh lowered his eyes gloomily: "Professor Tu."

Then, the room fell silent.

A tall and heavy shadow enveloped him, and the tall, silver-haired man came to Professor Tu's side. He trembled all over, and when he was about to speak, his shoulder was pinched by a hand like steel and iron.

The raging killing intent.

Mixed with a fresh air of grass and trees, it forms an extremely complex breath that belongs to top predators.

"Isar..."

Dr. Bai was worried that he would make some drastic move, so he yelled.

"What do you mean?" Isar only moved his lips, and asked Professor Tu, and everyone here, "What's wrong with his lifespan?"

No one dared to lie under such coercion.

At this time, a researcher suddenly broke into the room: "Professor Tu——"

The researcher was still very young, and he was only stunned when he saw the situation inside the house. Although he was afraid, he still said the news: "It's a communication request from Congressman William. The situation is urgent. Now the executive hall can no longer withstand the pressure..."

Professor Tu's shoulder was in severe pain, and his old bones seemed to be crushed. Tears welled up in his eyes: "I'll be right back."

Isar had no intention of letting go.

Dr. Bai could only go up: "Isar, what do you want to know, I'll tell you."

Professor Tu was released by Isar, staggered for a while, and was supported by Richard and Rayleigh at the same time. The three of them left in a hurry with the researcher, not even thinking about what to say to the people in the room .

The base with a dull and weird atmosphere, the research institute that is busy all night, the sudden communication in the mainland...

During the week or so that Xuexian and Isar left, something that they didn't know happened, and Xuexian hadn't woken up yet, Dr. Bai had no time to tell Isar about it, but took him to the room Besides, only Tammy was left as company.

Xuexian once told Isar about his fantasy retirement life.

“Maybe I can become a barbecue chef in the future. Like grilling fish, roast pork, and even roast bear.””

He thought for a while, and then said, "Perhaps he can still be an explorer."

"And tailors, dress designers."

He cited many examples, which were difficult for Isar to understand, and then told Isar: "I am the Son of God, and I do the work of singing."

In the hot spring cave in the snowy area, when Isar was still an ignorant young dragon, Xuexian introduced himself like this.

"My name is Xuexian, and Xue is my surname. It originated from my home planet, an eastern country with a long history. My home star is a very ancient planet with brilliant civilization. Although it has withered, it It still exists in a certain starry sky."

"I am a human being, and I come from the other side of the sea - I live on the mainland. Have you seen that land in the sky? All human beings live there. I live in a place called the main city on that land, where Snow-white tired bird flowers are blooming in all seasons. I have teachers, friends, and many people who like me."

Many, many people like him.

It's just that he didn't know that those were all bought with his life.

Dr. Bai said: "In order to maintain the strength and stability of the bio-energy field, the gene-edited child has serious defects. The tattoo once a year is actually to adapt the energy to the body and release it slowly so that it can act as radiation. The role of other aberrants. When this adjustment takes effect and reaches a peak that the body can withstand, it will stop."

Isael: "The peak that the body can withstand?"

"Yes." Dr. Bai's eyes were flushed, "As they grow older, the energy in their bodies will continue to accumulate. Although the drugs injected during tattooing can play a certain role, the effect is also limited. The energy will always accumulate, Until it's completely uncontrollable...and then explodes."

Thinking of Professor Tu's "energy surge, far exceeding the body's load", Isar clenched his fists.

"...how long?" he asked hoarsely.

Dr. Bai seems to have aged a little in a short time: "The average age of each holy son...is only 23 years old."

The thick reading glasses fogged up.

Dr. Bai took off the glasses, wiped them with the hem of his clothes, and then put them back on.

"...From the day I took him out of the petri dish, the days I can be with him have entered the countdown. What a lovely child he is, smart, simple, well-behaved...all the good things in the world Words are not enough to describe his qualities..."

Dr. Bai said with a trembling voice.

"pity……"

Tears finally rolled down her wrinkled face.

He said to Isar, "Then he met you. He told me that you will complete the contract, he will become a dragon, and you will be together forever and ever."

"I'm so happy. He has shouldered so many responsibilities that don't belong to him, and suffered so much. I thought that he would eventually get rid of that fate."

Speaking of this, Dr. Bai's throat was completely stiff, and he couldn't spit out a complete sentence for a long time: "Who knows... Who knows it will be..."

The Son cannot be marked.

Cannot become a dragon with eternal life.

In the temple, the Son was not allowed to fall in love, nor was he allowed to have his own life.

Because every loved one they meet in their short lives is destined to be separated.

Xuexian is a child born in a petri dish, and he is not related to anyone by blood, nor does he belong to any family.

He was born to belong to the temple, to the people, and he has nothing to do with anyone in this world.

No one realized this more clearly than Xue Xian himself.

Those who are close to Xuexian can feel the transparent sense of alienation in him, he is calm and optimistic, he has no personal wishes, and he has no long-term vision.He accepts the separation of life and death, and believes that although individual human beings will die, the race will continue.

Xuexian is a sober wanderer, if that day comes, he will not resist his destiny.

But one day, he met a young dragon who wanted him.

His shining eyes and gentle dimples all have meaning of existence from then on.

The Son of God, who has nothing, falls in love with the dragon and establishes a real connection with the world for the first time.

But the Son has no future.

There will be no fantasy retirement, no new job, no starting a family.

Their lives will always come to an abrupt end at a certain moment, like the complicated pattern on the oscillator being pressed the stop button, and the energy fluctuations erupt at the most intense moment and then disappear.

They are a sweet dream weaved, and they only stay in this world for a short time, and no one can catch them.

After walking so far, Xue Xian was still alone.
