To put it simply, Professor Okuya's house was dirty, messy and poor.
The room had not been cleaned for a long time, and there was a rancid smell in the air. Traces of slime could be seen on the floor. Seeing this, Shaye was obviously a little embarrassed.
"Dad used to be the one in charge of cleaning …."
"..."
Fangzheng did not say anything. He walked to the bathroom and opened the door. The bathtub was filled with the bones of cats, dogs, birds and other small animals ….
"Dad didn't let me throw them around. He said it would be bad if he found out …."
Shaye was like a college student who was caught by a dormitory monitor during a dormitory inspection. She tried to explain herself timidly, but of course … she did not have much confidence.
Any dormitory would be doomed with a pile of rubbish like this.
Fangzheng snapped his fingers. Soon, a flame appeared out of thin air and burned all the bones in the bathtub. Only then did the source of the rancid smell dissipate a little. He stared at the burning corpse and asked.
"What do you usually eat?"
"Well … Dad will buy me some food, like chickens and ducks. I'll occasionally catch some cats and dogs nearby …."
Shaye glanced timidly at the husky who was staring at him.
"Can't you eat human food?"
"Human food …. doesn't taste good."
"Then I'll give you a check-up when I get back."
Fangzheng wasn't particularly surprised by Shaye's answer. On careful thought, since the doctor had summoned Shaye, he definitely wouldn't let her run around. However, with Professor Okuya's income, it would not be a problem to feed Shaye like a kitten or a puppy.
But Shaye still wanted to eat live meat even in this state, which meant that there must be something special about her.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be very easy for you to buy a dead pig or a dead cow?
Just like the monster Fangzheng encountered in Dunwich, the Wilbur family bought cattle and sheep from all over the world to feed it. Of course, if it was hungry, it would also eat humans.
Perhaps it was because there was no pasture here?
"Alright, you guys go take a look around and see if there are any clues. You go too."
Fangzheng gestured to Nimf and Asakura Ryoko. At the same time, he said something to Shaye, and the three girls split up to search for clues in the house. However, according to Shaye, there were no clues in the house. After all, she had been living here all this time. If she could get some clues from the house, she wouldn't have to take the risk to wait at the hospital.
Speaking of which, not having a satellite network was troublesome.
Fangzheng shook his head and sighed as he flipped through the boring scientific journals. If this was the modern world, Little Angel would have been able to investigate the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors. Unfortunately, in this era, there wasn't even a computer, let alone the Internet.
The first electronic computer in modern human history was only successfully developed in 1946, which was still a few years away.
Moreover, it was something that could fill up an entire building. Little Angel probably wouldn't even want to touch it.
Even if she did touch it, it wouldn't be of any use.
In fact, they didn't find anything in the end, except for a few land deeds … Well, they did find out that Professor Akihiko Okuya had a few other residences, which was a good harvest, but that was it.
In the next few days, Fangzheng went to work during the day and treated Ikuki Kasaka at the same time. Of course, considering Shaye's behavior in the game, Fangzheng asked Shaye to investigate Ikuki Kasaka while he was unconscious. Shaye said that he had the ability to transform Ikuki Kasaka into a human, but he needed to find someone to experiment on first … and there was no guarantee of success.
In this regard, Fangzheng didn't have any moral fetishism. He went straight to the prison and caught a criminal on death row. He watched as Shaye happily toyed with the criminal's brain, easily completing the entire research task. He had to admit that the intelligence of these Dependents was indeed several levels higher than that of humans. Shaye had only read through the medical monographs of this era and dissected a human's brain, but his understanding of human tissues had already surpassed that of the top neurologists of the 21st century.
Thinking about it this way, if the Black Goat cubs were to develop their intelligence, they might be even more difficult to deal with. It would be easier to deal with them if they just relied on their instincts to reproduce!
Therefore, Fangzheng struck while the iron was hot. He asked Shaye to modify Ikuki Kasaka's brain and restore his three views to that of a normal person. According to Shaye …
"The pineal gland in this human's brain is damaged and swollen to a certain extent. It's probably caused by an external impact, so it's able to increase his level of perception."
"Pineal gland?"
Fangzheng was slightly surprised to hear Shaye's answer. He knew that in the game, Ikuki Kasaka only became like this because of a car accident. Since Shaye could use physical means to correct Ikuki Kasaka's perception in the game, it meant that there must be something wrong with his brain. However, neither Fangzheng nor Nimf were neurologists, so they didn't know the reason.
Only after hearing Shaye's explanation did Fangzheng realise that it was the pineal gland ….
"That's really surprising …."
After listening to Shaye's report, Fangzheng pondered for a moment.
"In other words, by adjusting the pineal gland, you can elevate a human to the same level as you?"
"That's very difficult."
Shaye shook his head.
"The structure of the human brain is different from ours. I don't know what my other brethren are like, but at least the organs I use to sense the outside world are very different from those of humans. If I want to elevate a human to the same level as me, I'll need to completely modify the human brain."
"Hmm, that's true …."
Fangzheng recalled that in the game, Shaye had once modified Yao, the girl who had a crush on Ikuki Kasaka, into an existence similar to her. At that time, although Yao was a beautiful girl in Ikuki's eyes, in the eyes of ordinary people, she had become a monster like Shaye.
"In any case, this matter has finally come to an end."
As he spoke, Fangzheng turned his head to look out the window. Through the window, Fangzheng saw Ikuki Kasaka, who was dressed neatly, walking out of the hospital. He smiled and clapped with his three friends. In the game, due to Shaye's intervention, the four once close friends eventually fell apart. Yao, who had a crush on Ikuki Kasaka, was transformed into a monster by Shaye. Yao's good friend, Qing Hai, was eaten by Shaye, while Qing Hai's fiancé, Reishi, engaged in a battle of life and death with Ikuki Kasaka.
But now, things would no longer develop in that direction. If Yao confessed to Ikuki Kasaka again, would Ikuki accept her?
While Fangzheng was deep in thought, Ikuki seemed to have noticed his gaze. He turned to look at Fangzheng and waved at him with a smile. Ikuki Kasaka had no idea what Fangzheng had done to him, but he was very happy that Fangzheng was able to rescue him from that nightmare. At least for now, he no longer needed to have nightmares.
Seeing Ikuki Kasaka, Fangzheng nodded at him with a smile. Shaye also waved at him with a smile. Ikuki Kasaka was stunned for a moment. He waved at her with a smile, then turned around and left.
"What's wrong? Ikuki Kasaka? "
"Nothing. I was just saying goodbye to Dr. Kasaka. Thanks to him, I was able to recover …."
Ikuki Kasaka paused for a moment.
"Speaking of which, I saw a cute little girl next to Dr. Kasaka just now. Maybe she's his sister."
"Huh? Ikuki Kasaka, you're not going to do anything to a little girl, are you? "
"Are you interested in that? If you are, I'm going to call the police! "
"Qinghai, don't talk nonsense. Ikuki Kasaka isn't that kind of person …."
The group of people left the hospital noisily. They passed by the siren of the ambulance and returned to their daily lives.
They would never know what they had missed.
Of course, from this perspective … it was better to miss it.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door. Shaye hurriedly retreated behind the screen. The door opened, and Asakura Ryoko walked in and closed the door.
"Master, I have something to report to you."
"Oh? What is it? "
"Dr. Tambora Ryoko is investigating you."
"Who?"
"Tambora Ryoko. She's also a psychiatrist. You've met her before."
"Oh …. I think I remember her."
Fangzheng frowned when he heard Asakura Ryoko's introduction. He tried to recall for a while before nodding.
"She's investigating me? Why? "
"It seems to have something to do with your recent investigation on Professor Akihiko Okuya. I met her by chance just now. She wants to get some information from me …."
As she spoke, Asakura Ryoko flashed a harmless smile. As a human-machine interface created by aliens, Asakura Ryoko looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old. In the hospital, she would be an intern nurse. Not to mention, she was the kind of harmless, elegant, and pure type. Doctor Danbao probably thought she was easier to deal with.
If she knew that the girl in front of her could cut open people's stomachs with a smile, she would not have thought so.
"In other words, she's related to Akihiko Okuya?"
"That seems to be the case. Dr. Tambora told me that Akihiko Okuya had been engaged in some very bad research …."
As she spoke, Asakura Ryoko looked at Shaye, who was peeking out from behind the screen. Shaye stuck out his tongue in embarrassment.
"Hmm … maybe we can find a chance to have a chat with her …."
However, before Fangzheng could finish his sentence, a shrill scream came from the corridor outside the door, giving everyone a fright. Fangzheng frowned as well. Then, he opened the door and looked out. He saw several medical staff rushing down the corridor, pushing a bed towards the operating area on the other side. At the same time, he could see a person tied up on the bed. There were burn marks on his face, and his hands were struggling desperately as though he was trying to break free from his restraints.
"Master."
At that moment, Asakura Ryoko, who had just left the office, returned with a serious expression.
"I've asked around. The patient was a victim of a fire that happened not long ago. The fire happened at 81 Nagano Road, Kubo."
"Hmm? Why does that place sound so familiar? "
"Of course it's familiar. That's the last place we're supposed to investigate today. Professor Akihiko Okuya's residence."
"… Huh?!"
