Chapter 225: Life Assimilation Experiment!? Fart, this is clearly
Life Assimilation Experiment!? Fart, this is clearly...
In the experimental field.
Li Wu and Cheng Shi looked at each other, both seeing the doubt in each other's eyes.
They were doubting Serius's attitude. Logically speaking, when this scholar encountered two outsiders who shouldn't have appeared here, his attitude shouldn't be so calm.
If it were only Li Wu, that would be fine, after all, his body now was that of a knight. But Cheng Shi was clearly still wearing a prisoner helmet!
He was a deathmatch prisoner manufactured by this laboratory!
One had to know that when a person discovered their life trajectory was being controlled by another stranger, this "controlled person" would instinctively resist, and the desire for destruction and harm born from this was often the greatest.
But Serius clearly wasn't afraid of Cheng Shi, this prisoner. From this point alone, the two realized that this laboratory was probably not that simple.
At least Serius must have a backup plan to save his life, and they might have already stepped into the scholar's trap.
But thinking too much in this situation was useless; only testing would yield the results they wanted. Cheng Shi pondered for a moment, picked his nostril, and opened his mouth:
"Mr. Serius, our intrusion was an accident. I was just pushed here by the aftermath of the arena explosion, and happened to meet this knight, and by the way discovered that the experimental bodies here are somewhat similar to me...
So I presumptuously searched here, hoping to find a way to open the prisoner... Arena Mask on our heads."
Li Wu was speechless after hearing this. He had seen liars who told lies, but he had never seen a liar who could tell lies while touching his helmet like this.
Serius observed Cheng Shi with great interest for a while, and also smiled and replied:
"Then you've come to the wrong place. This is the experimental field, the place where experimental material is generated. If you want to remove the Arena Mask, you need to go to the experimental workshop next door. If you really want to take it off, then come with me."
After speaking, Serius turned his back directly and walked slowly forward, as if he didn't treat Cheng Shi and Li Wu as a threat to the laboratory at all, but instead as visitors to the laboratory.
Li Wu frowned and said softly: "Be careful of a trap."
Even a fool knew there was a trap.
Cheng Shi didn't intend to pay attention to this scholar at all. He pointed in the direction Gao San ran, turned around and left, signaling Li Wu to follow.
Li Wu understood and followed silently.
Strangely, the Serius who had left didn't turn back to stop them, but sighed with disappointment after hearing Cheng Shi and the others leave.
Cheng Shi and Li Wu ran for a while with tense heartstrings, until they reached the wooden door, and after hearing Gao San's voice faintly coming from inside, they confirmed there was no danger inside and decided to push the door open to take a look.
But the moment they pushed the door open and saw the two familiar figures in the room, their pupils shrank.
Because sitting beside the experimental table illuminated by the warm light were Gao San and... Serius.
Another Serius.
"You..."
"You..."
Gao San looked at the two stunned people and actually explained for Serius: "Don't make a move, Mr. Serius has no malice."
"......"
If the person who said this wasn't a liar with the "Master of Deception" talent, Cheng Shi would never dare to believe it.
What was meant by no malice? The appearance of the previous Serius was already the greatest malice.
"There are many guests today. I didn't expect the Iron Law Knights to join this game too.
This one... also came to remove the Arena Mask?"
Cheng Shi was silent for a moment and spat out a word: "Yes."
"Then this knight, why did he come?"
Why did he come? Aren't your questions a bit too many?
Cheng Shi frowned, exposed a sharp scalpel from his sleeve, flicked it straight, and stuck it into the experimental table.
"Stop pretending to be a wise old man, let's get straight to the point. I just saw another you, another Serius. So, are you real, or is he real, or...
Are neither of you real?"
"Another... Serius?"
The scholar hadn't reacted, but the warrior was shocked first.
He took a step back and set up a stance, his gaze toward Serius no longer so friendly.
Serius looked at Cheng Shi thoughtfully and nodded.
"So you have seen him. Not bad, he is Serius like me, but he is also different from me, because he is a substitute."
"?"
"Substitute, what substitute? Are you talking about those... experimental clones?" Li Wu's doubt blurted out, and he instinctively took a step from the door into the room.
Cheng Shi glanced back slightly when he saw this, and seeing no one behind him, he also quickly walked into the room and closed the door.
And the moment this door closed, a scholar with gray hair walked out from the walkway between the experimental devices, looking at the wooden door with an inexplicable expression.
Inside the room, Serius's gaze swept past the two people for a moment and looked outside the door, but Cheng Shi closed the door too quickly, so he didn't see what he wanted to see.
Thus, he sighed lightly and said to everyone:
"Yes, the experimental clones you mentioned have a more academic name. We generally call them...
Slices."
"!!!"
The air in the room suddenly condensed, and the three liars again became cautious and guarded against each other because of these two words.
"Slices?"
"Yes, slices." Serius didn't seem afraid of this atmosphere. He smiled and took out a small wooden man from the drawer under the experimental table. Everyone's gaze narrowed, following the movement of his hands.
This wasn't actually a wooden man made of a whole piece of wood, but a wooden man composed of more than a dozen horizontal wooden slices of different sizes.
Serius flexibly took the wooden man apart, then spread each horizontal slice on the table, patiently explaining to the three people, as if teaching his students.
"Look, this is a slice, but this isn't a flesh-and-blood slice in the traditional sense, but a life slice containing the experimental material's life foundation, faith consciousness, and residual memories.
You can simply understand it as a certain personality split from the experimental material, except that this part of the personality possesses a physical flesh carrier, so after cultivation, it can grow again into a complete... 'him'."
Cheng Shi's heart trembled as he listened. His peripheral vision looked at the door, wondering if all the experimental devices outside were cultivated from this kind of slice.
"So, the deathmatch prisoners weren't caught at all, but cultivated from slices, right?"
"Correct, and also incorrect. The deathmatch prisoners were indeed caught, what was cultivated from slices were the rest of the 'him'." Serius pointed to that door and said meaningfully:
"The experiment requires a large number of slices, but if these slices were only obtained from one person, then the traces of that person's existence would become thinner and thinner, because you cannot control the loss in the experiment, even if you peel off the most perfect slice, it will inevitably take away a trace of the personality or memory on the main body...
So, to complete this experiment, the sponsor from the Grand Tribunal utilized the game rules of 【Order】 and set up the new law of the deathmatch penalty. In this way, the laboratory could reasonably and legally capture enough experimental material."
"Sponsor... what a fresh term. So why would that sponsor of the Grand Tribunal sponsor a scholar from the Tower of Reason, and you, scholar, why are you explaining these things to us!
What are you plotting, or are you delaying something?"
As Cheng Shi finished speaking, Li Wu and Gao San's figures retreated slightly again, their gazes cautiously looking at the surroundings.
"I am not plotting anything."
"You're lying!" Li Wu punctured him decisively, because the Master of Deception told him that Serius was lying.
"Oh? Alright, I am indeed plotting something," Serius smiled, indifferent, "but what I am plotting has nothing to do with everyone present. Relax, I have no intention of harming you."
Cheng Shi frowned and looked at Li Wu, who nodded silently.
This time it was the truth.
This scholar didn't seem to have any hostility.
"So, what exactly is this experiment doing? What's going on with the deathmatch final?"
"Perhaps when I say the name of the experiment, you can guess what this trial is actually doing.
Because its name has already explained everything. It is called...
Divinity Germination Experiment."
