Chapter 1062: Chapter 21: The Truth in the Cellar
Linz’s small courtyard is tranquil.
The entrance to the cellar is half-open.
The underground space is even more oppressive and quieter than above. The old man sat in a wheelchair, silently watching the enormous bookshelf that had accompanied him all his life, while his disciple Hu Po was busy organizing those old and dusty archive files, holding a lamp in one hand… The old and the young just stayed in the dusty underground chamber, as a ray of light fell, instantly, Chi Huo burst forth strands of brightness, illuminating this underground library.
The appearance of this Chi Huo is the signal of Gu Shen’s return!
The old man did not lift his head.
“Mr. Xiao Gu, you’ve returned?!”
Hu Po stopped his work imdiately and ca forward to greet, with a concealed look of concern: “How are things over at the Rhine?”
“The person was saved.”
Gu Shen spoke concisely.
He ca to the side of the wheelchair, and said softly: “Mr. Ian… about the person who killed ‘Mr. Huo Lin,’ I think you need to give an explanation.”
All along.
He did not know Xiao’s true origins.
This guy has a “Blood Fire” akin to his own ability, which can even be said to be a similar kind of devouring!
But this ti, Xiao’s background gradually surfaced.
He must know the truth about this matter.
Before, after, everything!
“Explanation…”
From the spiritual link device, an empty sound ca.
The old man asked softly: “You want to know its origin.”
“Yes.” Gu Shen responded: “In the Rhine Bay, he said to …”
As he spoke, he imdiately halted, no longer speaking.
What Xiao said to him inevitably had hints of “spiritual poisoning.”
“What did he say to you?”
The elder arduously raised his hand, signaling Hu Po to seal the entrance to the cellar, then returned to his side, moving the wheelchair to a certain bookshelf before extracting so heavy files.
It’s not just ancient text diagrams here.
“What is this?”
Gu Shen frowned, as the docunts were placed before him.
“These are records that won’t be docunted in history. They are immature experints before the implentation of the Genetic Act.”
Master Ian stated calmly: “These are all sample data from unsuccessful experints… Back then, the laboratory attempted to directly cultivate a ‘chosen one’ that could blend with ‘fire seeds,’ but after countless simulated experints, they all ended in failure.”
Gu Shen flipped through the pages, each glance was shocking.
He handed the docunts to Chu Ling.
Even Chu Ling fell silent; these docunts were from quite a long ti ago, well before the [Deep Sea] was born, the laboratory had already begun attempting simulated cultivation of a ‘chosen one,’ so naturally, she was unaware.
But the experintal data was still quite shocking.
“Direct simulation within the ‘Spirit Sea’? Cultivate a perfect ‘Spirit Sea’?” Gu Shen murmured: “What kind of madman can co up with such an idea?”
“Turing.”
Ian slowly uttered the two words, murmuring: “Both a madman and a one-in-a-million genius.”
Indeed.
This is an incomparably crazy and ingenious idea, because directly cultivating a living being is a taboo that violates the ethical standards of all humankind; cultivating a Spirit Sea would not raise such controversy.
“We created a Spirit Sea and simulated different ‘ability-compatible environnts’ for it, so it could adapt to the fundantal spirit of a transcendent… but that’s all.”
“The aim of the experint was to produce innate-as-peak ‘chosen ones’; at first, we thought, to ld with the fire seeds, we had to find suitable, powerful abilities… But later we realized, we were wrong.”
“However strong an ability may be, it’s rely an outer garnt.”
“The fire seeds are scorching hot cores.”
“After countless failures, the ‘Spirit Sea Simulation Experint’ was completely aborted.”
Ian lowered his visage, his voice hoarse, said: “Everyone in the lab thought, this was the end… But what they didn’t know was, the nightmare truly began at that mont—”
“The entity cultivated from the ‘Spirit Sea Simulation Experint’ should have been killed, but due to enduring too many simulated experints, its consciousness beca incredibly resilient… After we shut down the conscious-bearing equipnt, it continued to survive in the ‘container’ and learned language; it communicated spiritual waves to the people in the lab, pleading for its life.”
This seemingly genius experint finally welcod its backlash.
An entity rely existing in consciousness form, does it count as life?
“Huo Lin was my most admired disciple; he had an outstanding intellect and benevolent heart… It’s a good thing, but sotis, it isn’t a good thing.” Ian lightly tapped on the wheelchair, said: “Because of the pleas from that guy in the ‘container,’ Huo Lin’s compassion was moved, and he asked whether we must kill such ‘spirit’… And I, too, fell into hesitation.”
“Just as Turing went to the Outer Continent, we couldn’t contact him.”
“We decided to wait for Turing’s return before making a decision; but during this wait, an accident occurred.”
“Xiao Gu… So things, even if you see with your own eyes, you cannot easily believe, for you have no idea what kind of face hides beneath their skin.”
Ian said aningfully: “The entity inside the container was initially all pleas, begs, and thanks, appearing gentle, pure, and harmless… It was precisely this illusion that deceived Huo Lin, which led to the tragedy.”
