Chapter 484
"The so-called Evil Seed is actually..."
Under the pressure of everyone's eyes, the Mediterranean director soon explained everything honestly.
"Evil Seed" is actually another research target kept in the research institute. She is a superpowered person.
With the progress of technology, the development of human potential and the research on gene editing technology will inevitably be put on the agenda, so the birth of superpowered people is a matter of course.
Although there are two supernatural paths of spirit equipment and Magic Armor Girls in the Magic Republic, it is clear that the threshold for these two professions is too high to be popularized to ordinary people.
And with the successful advent of micro-nanomachines, some scientific scholars turned their attention to the direction of human gene modification, and they soon achieved certain results, creating some so-called superpowered people.
It's just that the abilities of these superpowered people are mostly relatively weak, nothing more than some physical enhancement abilities or biological abilities like chameleon-like camouflage skin, which can only be considered to have transcended the scope of human beings, but have not yet reached the degree of leaving the mundane.
Even the most successful ones are nothing more than mastering the degree of elemental power like influencing water and fire, and can manipulate water and fire not too freely.
Anyway, it can't compare with spirit equipment and Magic Armor Girls. Currently, this technology can only be considered a toy for the rich.
But "Evil Seed" is different. She is not a gene-modified person artificially evolved in the laboratory, but a natural superpowered person freely conceived by two modified people.
This is abnormal, because according to research, the modified genes of superpowered people actually don't have heredity, and their children generally only be ordinary people. But "Evil Seed" is the only exception so far.
And this little girl's superpower is extremely powerful, far from being comparable to the fake superpowers of her parents.
Her ability is "mind reading."
Such a precious sample naturally attracted the attention of the entire Magic Republic, and scholars of gene modification across the country were crazy about it...
"So you caught her into the research institute? She is still a child?"
The fat director was still talking, but an angry voice suppressed with anger interrupted him. Everyone turned their heads and saw the Black Sheep Witch with full anger in her eyes, trying her best to suppress her murderous intent.
Regarding this, Dorothy understood Colia quite well. It was probably that such past events touched the old scars of the Black Sheep Witch. Back then, she was almost caught by the cultists who believed in her demon father to become an experimental subject.
Moreover, this future Black Sheep Sage is famous for liking children. She hates children being abused the most. If these research institutes really forcibly caught that little girl to do experiments, then such behavior undoubtedly touched the reverse scale of this leader of the Magic Knight Order.
In fact, Dorothy was also quite angry. After all, although human experiments have a certain necessity, human experiments without the consent of the person involved are absolutely indisputable evil acts, especially when children are used as experimental subjects. This is definitely a crime that can be dragged out for the death penalty.
If Dorothy were still the personality of her previous life, she might have been furious in front of Colia first, but now she actually feels a bit sad.
Although it is inevitable that there are all kinds of birds in a big forest, and the Magic Republic is so big, how could there be no dark side? But rationality is rationality. Thinking that this country she created has also had these sordid things after five hundred years of development, she still feels a bit sad.
Especially since the ruler of this country is still her childhood sweetheart good sister.
With Dinisha's ability and strength, the matter of this laboratory must not be hidden from her, so does she just watch all this?
If it were the Divine King in reality, then authorizing human experiments is nothing strange, she can definitely do it, but this Dinisha of the Witch's Night...
Dorothy thought her good sister would have some changes, but now it seems...
"My lord, what are you saying? Are you questioning my piety to the Machine Sect as a mechanical monk? We have always kept the people-oriented doctrine in mind. You should read less of those conspiracy theory novels on the market. We mechanical monks are really not that bad."
Hearing such words, the Mediterranean director, who was quite timid, suddenly frowned, and then he raised his head and chest to show the forging holy hammer badge bursting with sparks on his chest.
This is the proof of the identity of the mechanical monk of the Machine Sect, which is not strange. After all, most of the scientific researchers in the Magic Republic are mechanical monks of the Machine Sect.
In the Magic Republic, mechanical monks are actually equivalent to the scientists of Dorothy's previous life.
It's just that they are not only scholars, but also devout believers. First, they are believers, and second, they are scholars.
You can question their character and their knowledge, but the only thing you can't question is their piety and loyalty to the Machine Sect.
And in the doctrine of the Machine Sect, human experiments with oppressive nature are strictly prohibited.
Being retorted like this, Colia calmed down, and Dorothy fell into silence.
Hmm, the clown is really myself.
The Home Witch felt ashamed of her idea of using a villain's heart to measure a gentleman's belly. Dinisha is really her good sister.
For a time, she felt both ashamed and very happy in her heart.
And after the Mediterranean director was "brave" for a while, he soon returned to flattery and began to continue explaining.
"She was not caught by us as an experimental subject. We are not so sad that we need to imprison a little girl. The reason why she is locked in the research institute is mainly for treatment."
"Treatment?"
Colia was puzzled again.
"Hmm, it is treatment, but not physical treatment, but inner treatment. Lords, you can actually see it from the child's code name. This is actually not a child who makes people worry."
The Mediterranean director nodded.
"She is a natural mind-reading ability user. From birth, or even when she was in her mother's womb, she had awakened her ability. This will undoubtedly make her far more mature than children of the same age. However, unfortunately, her parents are not good people. Those two are almost garbage who are wasting air while alive."
"And a child's personality is often related to their growth environment and the words and deeds of their parents. It is impossible for such a mind-reading ability user to have such a pair of human-scum parents and not go astray."
"So she is an Evil Seed in the literal sense. This child's worldview is extremely distorted, and her personality is even more evil to the extreme. How should I say it? It is the kind of pure evil of a child pouring boiling water into an ant hole. She has almost no empathy for her own kind. In her eyes, we are almost no different from ants, and she can play with us at will if she is interested."
"Her human-scum parents were the first to be played to death by her, followed by the caregivers and teachers in the orphanage, who were almost driven to a mental breakdown. Several families who adopted her were also almost ruined..." (You can refer to the movies "The Bad Seed" or "Orphan." I think "The Bad Seed" is good, horror movie aesthetics are the best).
"This child is too smart. She knows how to hide her ability very well, so at first, no one suspected such an innocent and cute child."
"Until the end, the abnormality of this child was discovered by the patrolling spirits, and she was arrested. Finally, Head of State approved, and she was sent to our research institute."
"Head of State said that this child's ability is helpful for the development of the Magic Web, so we kept her. And this child's background is actually quite pitiful. We have actually been trying to guide and help her, wanting to restore her to normal. We thought we succeeded. This child has been very obedient for more than a year, but now..."
Speaking of this, the Mediterranean director's face became a bit ugly.
Because this child performed very normally for a year, they gave this child more freedom. According to the procedure, this child should be locked in an independent room, but everyone felt that it was not good to lock a child for too long, and this child had been performing well recently, so they gave her more freedom, allowing her to move freely within the entire research institute.
But it is clear that everyone in the research institute seemed to have been played by that child who was only ten years old.
The theft of the Magic Web Core this time was very sudden. It has only been two hours from the incident to now. The entire research institute has been busy with this matter. For a time, no one took care to see where this special child was now, until the adult wearing the clown mask just now said such an image, the Mediterranean director then reacted.
"But isn't this child's ability mind reading? How did she steal this Magic Web Core?"
Colia still couldn't accept it for a while. She, as the daughter of a demon god, didn't expect that there would be such a child who was evil by nature in this world. This made the demon shocked.
Anyway, the incarnation of her demon god father Baphomet, who had been beside her in a small black sheep image, was already calling it amazing, saying that if this Evil Seed entered the abyss and went to hell, she would definitely be able to mix well.
However, what she said was indeed a suspicious point. Just the superpower of mind reading didn't have the ability to make the monitoring unable to capture her, or make everyone unable to see her figure even after watching the monitoring, and she could steal the Magic Web Core across the closed door.
"Actually, that child's ability is not just mind reading. Mind reading is just a form of expression of her ability. That child's real ability is actually stronger. We call it Heart Web."
The Mediterranean director said bitterly again.
"Her ability can link human hearts freely like a network, and then read or even interfere with your thoughts. It's just that this ability is too dangerous, and her personality is so evil, so Head of State ordered her to be locked up."
"As for how she stole the Magic Web Core, I am afraid that the core ran into her hands by itself. After all, the architecture of the Magic Web Core largely refers to her Heart Web ability. She is born with the first permission of the Magic Web Core..."
Dorothy: "..."
Inquisition squad: "..."
After hearing all this, everyone was silent, and for a time, they didn't know what to say.
Although the matter is clear now, it is that the people in the research institute are too kind, and as a result, good intentions have done bad things. But is kindness something that should be blamed? Who could have thought that a ten-year-old little girl would have such a terrifying mind? It feels like if they were to do it themselves, they might be played around by others.
However, although there is no way to blame, they still have to carry the pot of dereliction of duty. After all, one thing is one thing, it is impossible for good people to make mistakes and nothing happens. Everyone is an adult and must be responsible for their own mistakes.
But these are not their business. Naturally, there will be special departments to settle the responsibility, and the mission of the Inquisition squad is to retrieve the stolen goods.
It's just that the ability of this Evil Seed is indeed quite tricky. The top-tier talent called Heart Web, even if it is thrown into the Witch World in reality, is a top-tier talent that starts with SSR. Not to mention that the person holding such a powerful ability is still such a deep-minded and terrifying recidivist. The difficulty of this pursuit is a bit high.
And what is even more unfortunate is that the Mediterranean director added another sentence later.
"My lord, the Magic Web Core is actually completed. Theoretically, holding the Magic Web Core can master the highest permission on the current Magic Web, and all machines under the Magic Web connection will also..."
Dorothy: "..."
The Home Witch was numb.
You know, with the technological level of the Magic Republic now, everything has been connected to the internet long ago. In all aspects of clothing, food, housing, and transportation, countless machines are all connected to the Magic Web. If something goes wrong with the Magic Web?
Good guy, the classic plot of the sci-fi world is about to come, AI crisis, Skynet rising...
It would be fine if someone else took the Magic Web Core, but letting such a bad embryo take it away, God knows what this bear child who is more fun-loving than Senior Fan Ni will do.
Maybe she will blow up the whole city if she wants to see fireworks.
However, maybe it is really fearing what will come, just when everyone's scalp was tingling, a service robot in the room suddenly started, and then *pop*, it punched Dorothy's face.
Home Witch: "???"
Damn, there are so many people, why hit me? Am I that easy to bully?
Dorothy was trembling with anger, but this kind of service robot had no threat to her now. She just used one finger to hold the heavy punch of several tons.
Tsk, worthy of being the highest-level research institute, the performance of the service robots inside is so awesome.
"Hehe, worthy of being the big sister who saw through my ability, really powerful."
After the robot's attack was stopped, it suddenly "spoke."
A crisp little girl's voice came from the robot's sound unit, and then she cute and cutely issued an invitation.
"Then big sister, do you want to play hide-and-seek with Adi?"
... Evil Seed is inviting...
