As usual, prayers were ineffective.
When Dean sneaked into the third laboratory of the headquarters, more than a dozen figures appeared around him and surrounded him. All of them were Pioneer level masters. There were also two Dominators with strong heat sources watching coldly in the dark.
"Who are you?" One of them shouted coldly.
Dean sighed in his heart and looked up. "Fuck you."
…
…
In the center of the Royal City, next to the palace where Barker lived, there was a grand duke's mansion. Monica was leaning on her 3.6-meter-wide pink bed. Her slender body looked very petite and lovely. She was wearing orange pajamas, and she was flipping through a book of poems by the poet Welin. This was her favorite poet. She loved romantic poems and elegant words, and she was infatuated with them. She would read a few of them every night before going to bed.
There were a lot of troubles in the past few days. At three o 'clock in the morning, she was still not sleepy. She flipped through the poems, and her restless heart gradually returned to peace. Soon, she put aside all distractions and wholeheartedly enjoyed the romantic and true love story in the poems.
However, she had only read half of the poem when she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming up the stairs. Although there was no knock on the door, it had already pulled her back to reality from that beautiful tranquility. She sighed and frowned. She put the poem book on the bedside table and quietly waited for the door to open.
Knock!
"Come in."
The door opened, and a white-haired butler in a tuxedo, who looked to be in his seventies, lowered his head and slowly stepped into the room. He bowed in the direction of the bed and said, "Miss, I have something urgent to report to you."
"Uncle Lan, please go ahead." Monica said softly. She knew that if it was not an emergency, the housekeeper, 'Uncle Lan', would already be asleep at this time and would not come to find her at all.
"I just got a secret report. The headquarters of the Temple has sent an emergency request. Someone is attacking. They hope that Miss can send reinforcements!" the housekeeper whispered.
Monica was slightly stunned. She thought it was something in the palace. She did not expect that it was something in the Temple, which had always been low-key, and it was in the headquarters of the Temple. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in her heart. Her eyelids twitched slightly. She said, "Someone is attacking the Temple? Their military strength is not weak. The Temple has accumulated a lot of death warriors over the years, and there are ten or twenty dominators. Is it the Abyss? "
"It should be." The butler nodded as he looked at Monica: "Miss, is it the outsider you mentioned last time?"
"It's possible." Monica's eyes flickered slightly. She pondered for a moment before saying, "Send someone to tell the Temple that I will immediately bring reinforcements. Tell them to hold on. In addition, immediately activate the defense plan I told you about before. This person's strength is not to be underestimated. Even if Barkel and Horani are here, the three of us together may not be able to defeat him!"
Previously, she looked down on Dean. But after the ambush against the Ice Dragon, her original perception had been broken. Moreover, she knew that Dean wasn't alone. He also controlled an abyssal level corpse king!
When the butler heard Monica's words, he immediately understood what she meant. Sending someone to reply was equivalent to giving comfort to the Temple. Monica had already abandoned the Temple!
"You're finally back. That old dragon didn't manage to kill you …" Monica's gaze was deep as she clenched her fists. She felt a chill in the warm bed.
…
…
The sky was bright.
Aisha was sitting on the bed in a single room in a small hotel in King City. She was wearing a purple veil. Her posture hadn't changed. Dean took off his blood-stained coat and threw it to the corner of the room. At this time, the sound of the door was heard. He opened the door and saw a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl outside. She looked sleepy and yawned. She was holding a basin of hot water and said with some displeasure: "Guest, the hot water you wanted."
"Thank you." Dean threw two silver coins into her hand. While the girl was still in a daze, the door was closed. Dean came into the room with hot water. He rubbed his hands with soap and washed them carefully. Then he washed his face and hair. After washing, the water became turbid and dark red in color. If he reached out his hand, there were some minced meat pieces in the water.
Aisha who was sitting on the bed looked at the basin that Dean used to wash his hands.
"Hungry?" Dean saw her reaction and remembered that he hadn't taken her to eat anything since he came to the King's City. He felt ashamed. He went out again but saw the little girl was still waiting at the door.
The girl was surprised as she saw Dean open the door: "What else do you want me to do, Sir?"
"How did you know that I was looking for you?" Dean was interested.
The girl smiled and pointed to the gap in the door: "I saw that the light was on inside so I thought that you would have something to do. So I waited here for a while." Her attitude was completely different from before. She casually tipped two silver coins to let her know that Dudian was a rich man. If she could do something for Dudian, maybe she would reward him again.
Dean sighed with emotion. Who said that the people at the bottom were stupid? They weren't necessarily stupid but just 'people'.
"Prepare twenty steaks for me. Pour this basin of water into the gutter behind the kitchen. Then bring me a basin of hot water." Dean said.
The girl was stunned. Twenty steaks? What kind of appetite was this? She was once again shocked by Dean's wealth and quickly responded. She took the basin of water from Dean's hand and left.
Dean also closed the door and went back to the room. He wasn't worried that the little girl would see the blood in the basin. The sky was slightly bright. The oil lamps in the passage were all extinguished in order to save energy. The light inside was dim so the color of the water could not be seen.
Soon, the steaks and hot water were delivered.
Dean didn't let the little girl enter the door. He took the things and went back to the room. He threw her two silver coins as a reward for her intelligence.
Dean fed ten steaks to Aisha. He saw that her lower abdomen was bulging and her stomach was full, so he stopped. He picked up the remaining ten steaks and ate them himself. He had consumed a lot of stamina in this night's continuous battles, so he needed to replenish it in time.
"I didn't expect that the research on the Aragami had been carried out to such a depth. They had even obtained advanced experimental equipment such as microscopes from the ruins of the old era. No wonder the owner of the Temple was so ambitious. The more he saw, the more difficult it was to satisfy his heart …" Dean muttered to himself. He couldn't help but think of himself. The person who was the most difficult to satisfy was himself.
After all, he had seen the prosperity of the old era and even the bright starry sky. But now he was living on the Giant Wall. It was unbearable. But he knew that if he wasn't imprisoned, perhaps he would slowly get used to it like a frog being boiled in warm water. Life would always inadvertently turn into an unexpected fork, but it was difficult to go back to the right path.
Dean sighed. He used the basin of hot water to wash his body again. When his fingers rubbed his skin, his mind involuntarily emerged the picture of the Temple's headquarters. The end was doomed when his stealth was exposed.
The harvest of the Temple's headquarters was greater than he had imagined. He was excited when he saw the advanced experimental equipment from the old era. With these experimental equipment, he could study the cell structure of Aisha. This was the first step to truly understand 'her'.
But after reading some of the top-secret information of the Temple's headquarters, he was disappointed. He even hated the master of the Temple. He was too ambitious. The master not only studied Aragami, but also Undeads.
The master of the Temple had used the experimental equipment to study the Undeads virus and the structure of the Undeads. The experiments were extremely detailed. Presumably, the remains of Aragami were precious experimental materials. Even the king of corpses could be easily cultivated by the Temple. But there was no way to control it.
Whether it was gender difference, age difference, body integrity difference and so on, many types of Undeads and King of corpses had become the object of the Temple's research. But the final results disappointed Dean.
He knew that even if he did it himself, there was no way to do better. These experimental equipment could only deeply analyze the structure of the Undeads and the virus. The results of the analysis had been completed by the Temple for Dean.
According to the experimental records of the Temple, the virus was a very aggressive germ. It had the infectivity of influenza, but it was not like any influenza germ. The target of its invasion was not only human beings. All life forms would basically surrender in front of the virus. This referred to all, including terrestrial animals, aquatic creatures, and even small parasites and so on.
Through the research of the virus, the Temple speculated that some of the monsters called the named monsters had Parasitic Soul Worms in their bodies. It was likely to be caused by the virus!
And these monsters with Parasitic Soul Worms were caused by the virus. These monsters were equivalent to the Undeads among the monsters!
However, this conclusion was not completely tenable. There was one point that the Temple could not explain. These named monsters were not irrational, fearless, and crazy like the Undeads!
On the contrary, the intelligence of many named monsters was much higher than that of ordinary monsters. They were extremely cunning!
According to the experimental observation of the Temple, once infected by the virus, the cells would rapidly mutate, expand, divide, strengthen. When involved in fresh genes, the cells would expand again and divide … This was why the Undeads would go crazy when they saw blood and could continue to mutate and grow by eating meat. For them, as long as new cells entered the body, they could enhance their own strength by dividing and strengthening these cells. Some cells would even integrate into the body during the division process, which led to some Undeads in the process of evolution and mutation.
Some were sickle Undeads, some were extremely huge Undeads, and there were also Undeads with hair like monkeys!
The Temple had no conclusion about the reason for this, but Dean had some speculations after seeing it. It was likely that the effect of the virus on the cells was not simple division and strengthening, but a deeper recombination of the genetic code. Even he did not know about the changes. These made the original genes of the cells coincide, so it could promote the mutation and change shape of the Undeads.
At the same time, Dean thought of the experiment conducted by a crazy researcher in the history of a Monster Research Institute in Sylvia. He used humans, monsters, and beasts as' fodder 'to feed the Undeads. He found that when the Undeads swallowed humans, the form of the Undeads changed the fastest, but the speed of strength enhancement was the fastest. When the Undeads swallowed monsters, the speed of strength enhancement was faster, and at the same time, the form of the Undeads would rapidly change.
Relatively speaking, the effect of swallowing beasts was the weakest.
Combined with this experiment, Dean had a deeper understanding of the Undeads. But this was still not what he wanted. He wanted to see how to remove the virus, how to restore the genes, and restore Aisha's consciousness. He didn't even know whether the memory of the past was still in her mind. He didn't dare to think about it, just like he didn't want to touch the thing he was most afraid of.
What made Dean feel a little better was that not all the advanced experimental equipment in the Temple could be used. Many of them had long been damaged. He didn't know whether they were broken when they were unearthed or destroyed during the experiment. There were also some experimental equipment that was defined as' damaged 'because of the lack of starting power. He could only repair them if he brought them back to Sylvia.
After all, there was no electricity here. Moreover, he couldn't memorize the manufacturing of these experimental equipment in the super chip. He had to follow the knowledge on the chip. And the super chip was in Sylvia, hidden in a secret place that only he knew.
He didn't intend to bring these experimental equipment back to Sylvia. First, these equipment could at most let him understand the structure of the Undeads and the structure of the virus. It couldn't solve the root cause of Aisha's situation. It was like giving a pair of clearer eyes to see where the wound was. But the surgical knife and the medicine to suture the wound couldn't be made by these experimental equipment.
So he would rather not look at it.
He didn't want to see things that made him more desperate. He didn't want to see the last hope shattered. He didn't want to carry despair to find a solution that he didn't believe in.
After all, even if he had all the high-tech equipment from the old era, he had no hope to restore Aisha. This involved a level that even the top medical and biological science of the old era couldn't achieve!
Only a breakthrough in science and technology, for example, cracking the technology of the spacecraft with the ice worm in the ice lake might have hope.
After all, it was alien technology. It proved that it was more advanced than the earth in some aspects!
He believed that the technology of these alien spaceships, or even the decrypted technology, definitely existed in the Divine Kingdom. He was even more convinced after learning about the Seven Kings and the Lord of the Deep Caves from Felicia. How could there not be a few alien spaceships in a place where so many experts gathered? Maybe the Kingdom of God had started this research as early as hundreds of years ago.
