"Phew …"
Sitting on the sofa, Fangzheng closed his eyes and let out a long sigh.
I'm so tired.
Fangzheng had traversed through so many worlds, but this world was the one that made Fangzheng feel the most exhausted. It was not because of physical exhaustion, but because of mental exhaustion.
He had saved a lot of "cursed children", but that was far from enough. In other words, Fangzheng felt that he had fallen into a strange cycle. The more "cursed children" he saved, the more miserable conditions he saw of the "cursed children", and the more he wanted to save them all. But this was not an easy task. Although Fangzheng had saved a considerable number of "cursed children", it was still not enough.
This world is really disgusting ….
Every time he thought of what happened to those "cursed children", Fangzheng felt nauseous and his heart ached. Those "cursed children" were not powerless to resist. Each of them had great strength and speed, and they could even send a car flying with one hand. But even so, no matter how cruel the abuse these children suffered, they could only endure it obediently. Because they didn't know how to fight back, and no one would protect them, no matter how powerful they were, they could only obediently obey those people's atrocities. Because other than that, these children didn't know how to survive.
Fangzheng had always felt that the saying "I'm not the one who's wrong, it's the world" was a rather chuunibyou, but now it seemed that this saying was indeed suitable for this world.
"Big brother … please have some tea …."
"Thank you, Chui."
Hearing the crisp, soft voice in his ear, Fangzheng opened his eyes and smiled at the silver-haired girl in front of him. He reached out to take the teacup handed to him by the silver-haired girl. Looking at the smile on the girl's face, Fangzheng felt like he had been healed a lot. This was also the reason why he had persisted to save the group of children. Seeing them leave the painful and dark world and reveal innocent and pure smiles that matched their age made Fangzheng feel that his efforts hadn't been in vain.
"Big brother …."
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing Cui's voice, Fangzheng lifted his head and looked curiously at the girl beside him. Under Fangzheng's gaze, Bushi Cui revealed a shy and uneasy expression, but she still bit her lower lip and said in a low voice.
"Big brother, we … also want to help."
"Help?"
"Yes."
Bushtree nodded.
"Big Brother has always been saving our sisters, but we don't want to just stay here and do nothing. I-I want to help Big Brother. We also hope to be able to save the other 'Cursed Children'."
"But …"
Fangzheng knitted his brows at Bushcui's words. It wasn't that he hadn't considered it. After all, his strength alone was too limited. Even if the Tendo Temple could teleport him to any place in this world, he could only bring away the gathered cursed children. There were also some hidden or imprisoned cursed children. Unless Fangzheng used divination spells to predict their whereabouts, it would be very difficult to find them.
To be honest, there was strength in numbers. But Fangzheng didn't really want these children to act with him because the suffering of those "cursed children" was too tragic. In fact, although Fangzheng could save a lot of "cursed children" every time, it was only those that he could save. There were also some who were living a life worse than death. Fangzheng had to personally send them away from this world. Even Fangzheng, who had traveled through many worlds, couldn't bear to watch that kind of scene, let alone these pure and innocent children.
Not to mention, there was another most important problem that restricted these "cursed children".
Fangzheng hadn't brought these "cursed children" back to the main world yet. The Tendo Temple they were in now was just a "projection" of the Tendo Temple in the main world. The current "Dark World" was still a mission world for Fangzheng. If he wanted to turn this world into a free world, then Fangzheng must have a huge and influential force like he did in the Shana world or the Predator world, and intervene in the process of this world to gain dominance.
This also meant that if Fangzheng wanted to protect all the "cursed children" in this world, he must let them fight in this world, gain reputation, and expand the power of the Tendo Temple.
Right now, the biggest problem for the "cursed children" was that as they grew up, the virus infection rate in their bodies would gradually increase. When the infection rate exceeded 50%, these children would become Protoenteron.
Originally, Fangzheng hoped that the Zerg would have a way to solve this problem, but just now, he got an answer from Milune that was not bad, but not good either.
The reason why it was not bad was that the Zerg did find a way to solve the infection rate of the Protoenteron virus.
The reason why it was not good was that this method … was not as perfect as Fangzheng imagined.
According to Milune's research, the "cursed children" were infected with the Protoenteron virus in their mothers' bodies before they were born, so their genes had already mutated when they were born. Many "cursed children", like Bushcui, had their organs changed due to the strong influence of the Protoenteron virus. For example, they grew cat ears, and even their bones were changed. The "cursed children" who grew bird-like wings also had a skeletal system similar to that of a bird. They were completely different from humans.
In this case, according to Fangzheng's idea, it was almost impossible for the "cursed children" to completely return to their human forms, unless they were like Fangzheng and accepted the decomposition and recombination of the Zerg's genetic form. But this method was not suitable for these children. Fangzheng had to rely on the system to survive the decomposition and recombination of the genetic form, but it was not certain whether these children could survive.
Therefore, the solution Milune proposed was to force the virus infection rate of the "cursed children" to exceed 50%, then strengthen their own control, and by injecting Zerg cells, the "cursed children" could undergo the second stage of fusion with the Protoenteron virus.
The reason why the "cursed children" turned into monsters was that when the infection rate exceeded 50%, the Protoenteron virus would erode and fuse with the human part of the "cursed children". The solution Milune adopted was to strengthen the human part of the "cursed children", thereby suppressing and taking the initiative of the fusion.
In this way, it would become the "cursed children" fusing with the Protoenteron virus, instead of the Protoenteron virus fusing with the "cursed children."
But there was also a flaw.
That was, if the "cursed children" really fused with the Protoenteron virus, then when they released their power, their bodies would mutate under the influence of the Protoenteron virus. For example, Buschitra was infected with the feline Protoenteron virus. After she underwent the fusion, she would have characteristics such as ears and a tail. And the other infected people would probably not be much different.
In fact, it was fine for the animal-type infected people, but it was a little uncomfortable for the insect-type infected people. After all, they had the infection genes of spiders and even snails in their bodies. If the fusion was accelerated, no one knew what would happen.
But it was certain that this form would not look good.
If they wanted to change this situation, they would have to accept another method of treatment, which was a second disintegration and fusion. Only the parts of the Enterovirus that were useful to the body would be kept, the excess genes would be removed, and the genes would be replaced with Zerg genes.
Fangzheng was not sure whether these "cursed children" would be willing to accept this method. More importantly, he had not told the "cursed children" about the situation of the Zerg. Considering their ability to accept, Fangzheng was also hesitant about whether he should tell them all about it and let them make their own choice.
Perhaps now it seemed … this was the only way.
"Buschitra."
With this thought in mind, Fangzheng sighed in his heart. He raised his head and looked at the cat-eared girl beside him.
