The Truth Surges
"How could this happen..."
"The experint had clearly already..."
Teacher Ye's body began to tremble uncontrollably. Like a walking corpse, he stiffly stepped over the debris all over the floor, as chaotic mories continuously surged into his mind.
Teacher Ye rembered that at the ti, he had personally held the test tube and seen the precipitate in the test tube settle and separate from the reagent itself. This proved that all World-Ending Calamities would not affect the Fusionists who fused with the corresponding types of Calamities...
He rembered that after seeing the experintal results, an unstoppable wild joy surged into his heart. Zhao Yi ca forward from the side and grabbed his wrist, seemingly saying sothing. But at the ti, he was completely imrsed in that joy. After giving Zhao Yi a hug, he put the test tube back in its original place and headed straight to the South Sea Governnt.
No...
That's not right...
Another segnt of mory began to gradually replace the scenes in Teacher Ye's impression, taking over his mind!
"Teacher Ye! Teacher Ye, are you alright?! How could this test tube explode... Teacher Ye, wait for a mont, I'll go get bandages to dress your wound!!"
In this blurry segnt of mory, Zhao Yi grabbed his wrist, and his anxious voice echoed in his ears.
The scene reversed in Teacher Ye's mory. He saw himself picking up the test tube and shaking it lightly. In the next second, a terrifying aura erupted from the test tube, directly blasting the test tube into powder. The broken fragnts of the test tube deeply embedded into his palm, instantly dripping with blood!
"..."
"How could this happen... Did the experint ultimately succeed... or did it fail?!"
The fragnted mories clashed in Teacher Ye's mind. For a mont, he could no longer distinguish which side was reality. In pain, he crouched down holding his head with both hands, the intense pain almost tearing his brain in two!
Right at this mont, from the corner of his eye, he saw his own palm...
Unhealed wounds covered it, and deep within so of the wounds, a few crystalline fragnts were even embedded.
Those were the remnants of the shattered test tube.
Teacher Ye was stunned.
That terrifying hypothesis that made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cavern, that hypothesis he had constantly and subconsciously ignored... surfaced in his mind at this mont.
"My thoughts... were tampered with?"
The mont this thought appeared, all those details he had previously ignored ca surging forward like a tide!
Teacher Ye's expression was pained and ferocious. At this mont, his brain began to operate rapidly. Countless fragnted and disjointed mory scenes leaped into his mind like another version of himself...
...
The Integration Faction under the starry night was completely silent.
He climbed up the steps along the empty path of the Mother Tree, finally slowly coming to a halt before one of its branches.
He stood there quietly, like a sleepwalker devoid of self-awareness. The breeze brushed past his dress shirt. Standing upon the Mother Tree, he turned his head slightly, his tightly closed eyes looking towards a certain direction of the Mother Tree dormitories...
Over there, Chen Ling was in his room, sound asleep.
The corners of his mouth curled up into a bizarre smile.
He turned his head back. With his fingertips tapping lightly on the branch of the Mother Tree, he slowly sketched out a certain symbol...
Under the hazy night sky,
A chaotic tangle of threads was gradually sketched into shape by him...
A few hours later, two children from the Integration Faction climbed up the Mother Tree to collect branches as usual. After catching sight of this tangle of threads from the corners of their eyes, they seed to lose their self-awareness, walking stiffly in the direction of the Scarlet Heaven Sect Branch.
...
On that day, the Integration Faction residing in the Mother Tree was decorated with lanterns and colored banners.
"Brothers and sisters!!! Chen! Ling!! Is here!!!!!"
Zhao Yi's shouts ca from afar. The children within the Mother Tree excitedly put down the things in their hands one after another and all ran to the entrance, curiously sizing up the several visitors from afar.
"So he is Chen Ling..."
"He looks exactly like in the newspapers, he's so good-looking!!"
"..."
Chattering sounds rang in his ears. Along with the approach of the great crimson theatrical robe in the distance, the children's faces grew increasingly excited.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually heating up, a muffled sound suddenly rang out from the crowd.
Thud——
A pitch-black youth uncontrollably fell to his knees before the great crimson theatrical robe.
After a brief pause, uproarious laughter dispelled the awkward atmosphere. And at the sa ti, the voice of the great crimson theatrical robe slowly sounded:
"The Calamity on your body... does it co from the Ghost Mockery Abyss?"
This voice, which he had previously inexplicably ignored, was like a clap of thunder, now booming and echoing in Teacher Ye's heart.
...
The mories rolled forward.
Ti returned to the South Sea Base over three hundred years ago.
"Professor Ye, the dical departnt recently encountered a cancer case. It's a child, and currently, all our dical equipnt has failed... But her mother still hasn't given up hope and wants to ask you to see if there's any way..."
"I understand. I will try my best to help her, let her co over."
He put down the unfinished article regarding the fusion hypothesis in his hand and spoke gently.
Click——
The bright surgical lamp dispelled a corner of the dim room.
Under that pale light, a sixteen-year-old girl lay obediently on the observation table. A pair of large, pitch-black eyes looked at Professor Ye beside her with fear and worry.
"Big brother, can... can my illness be cured?"
"Don't worry, I will try my best." He comforted her while preparing the newly developed anti-cancer reagent.
He slowly walked to the side of the observation table. The slender and sharp syringe needle emitted a cold gleam under the light. Inside was the result of his decades of research. It had already received permission from the base to undergo clinical observation, and the cure rate for certain specific cancers was as high as 63%...
But when his gaze t the girl's clear eyes, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
At this mont, the hypotheses and knowledge regarding fusion in his mind seed to co alive, like reptiles drilling out of his heart, slowly squirming bit by bit towards the body of the young girl on the observation table.
His eyes gradually lost their luster. A chaotic tangle of lines, like a storm, occupied his consciousness.
Under the pale light,
He slowly placed the reagent in his hand to the side.
"Little kid." An emotionless voice frictionally sounded from his vocal cords. "Let's try a different treatnt thod... alright?"
The girl was startled. Already terrified of needles, she couldn't help but ask:
"Then... what should I do?"
"Lift your clothes up and expose your stomach."
After hesitating for a mont, the girl still did as instructed and lifted her clothes. Her fair, tender belly was exposed under the pale light. Beneath this clean and vibrant body, infinite possibilities seed to be gestating...
He turned around and took out a Calamity organ that hadn't been fully made into a specin yet from the drawer.
It was a segnt of intestine covered in curse runes. Under the pale light, it squird slowly, like a swimming snake with self-awareness.
The mont she saw this thing, the girl's eyes widened in horror. Before she could say anything else, a chanically cold voice slowly sounded:
"Don't be afraid... it'll be over soon... be good..."
The girl's body ceased to resist...
Two chaotic thought tangles filled her eyes.
Fresh blood flowed in silence, and life slipped away in deathly stillness. Pandora's Box was personally opened by him at this mont...
