Checking Lil Pea's body was just a matter of convenience. Not far from the scientific research cabin was the medical area. The multifunctional medical cabin here could handle the physical examination of any life form. The only thing that was not quite suitable was Lil Pea's body size... But they could only make do. There was no foot-long pocket-sized coffin here.
Hao Ren carried his fish-girl and led a group of people to the medical area. On the way, Lil Pea burped and flew out once. This made them even more determined to check the little one as soon as possible. The four ascetics followed behind them. Although they did not quite understand what the group of people in front of them were doing, they could see that the foot-long fish-like little girl was affected by the sacred artifact. Naturally, they were very concerned about this matter. The medical area was not a confidential section, so Hao Ren did not stop them from following.
Before the physical examination, they also tested and summarized the rules of Lil Pea's random teleportation and finally came to a few conclusions. First of all, Lil Pea's teleportation was related to her burping. The mechanism was unknown, but as long as she burped, she would be teleported. Second, the direction and distance of each teleportation depended on the position of Lil Pea's sight when she burped. No one knew the limit of the distance. Last but not least, Lil Pea's teleportation could not pass through solid objects. If there was something on the teleportation path, she would hit it with her whole body. Any obstacle would have this effect, such as the wall of the room and Y'zaks' head. The third point was the most reassuring: a newcomer who practiced teleportation for the first time was most afraid of being teleported inside other objects. In The Plane of Dreams, every year, more than a dozen novice mages died in this kind of accident. But now it seemed that Lil Pea did not have to worry about this: her ability came from the weird Sacred Relic of Origins. When the Sacred Relic of Origins instilled power into the little one, it must have set up a ready-made safety lock.
The MDT then activated the nearest medical pod. Hao Ren carefully placed Lil Pea in it. The little one did not know what was going on. She looked at the strange equipment around her with curiosity and nervousness. When she saw that Hao Ren was about to let go of her, she suddenly let out a small cry and slapped her tail on the bottom of the medical pod. She looked unhappy. Hao Ren quickly comforted her. "Don't be afraid. I'm just taking a picture of you. You'll be fine after a short nap.
Lil Pea was now able to understand human language. She finally calmed down. She looked at the shiny crystal plates around her in amazement and began to hop around the medical chamber. Nangong Wuyue could not help but mutter, "Don't you think this med bay is a little too big for her?"
The little mermaid, who was only a foot long, could even run around in circles in the medical chamber. If one were to compare the size of the per capita housing, the big coffin was almost a hall for Lil Pea. Needless to say, it was hilarious. The MDT continued to operate the equipment beside her. "It doesn't matter. Even if you put a mosquito in it, it will still work."
The medical chamber slowly closed. Hao Ren was worried that Lil Pea would suddenly burp and fly out before the lid closed. Fortunately, the little one fell asleep before that. A few seconds later, the terminal connected to the medical chamber began to display a series of scan results. The MDT entered the original body records of the little mermaid and compared them with the scan results. At the same time, it activated the deduction mode to simulate the current state of Lil Pea's body to see if there would be any malignant consequences if she continued to develop. Apart from the MDT, everyone else was a layman in this field. So, they could only watch nervously.
Nangong Wuyue looked at the scan of Lil Pea's bones. The little one was sleeping in the 'coffin'. Her body was curled up like a comma. The most eye-catching part of the scan was the row of fish bones. The siren maiden studied for a while. Suddenly, she touched her chin thoughtfully and said, "There are fish bones … So, do I have fish bones or not?"
Hao Ren looked at Nangong Wuyue with cold sweat on his forehead. It had been so many days. Why was the girl still thinking about the fish bones?
"She looks fine, at least in terms of health," the MDT said after studying for a long time. "No illness, no disaster, and no tissue deterioration. But, it seems that her body has undergone some positive changes. She looks stronger than before, and her body is producing some harmless new hormones … It should be an adaptation to the previous accident."
Nangong Wuyue remembered what Raven 12345 had said before: Lil Pea came from a planet with a harsh environment. Their sun had been in an unstable state for tens of thousands of years. The cosmic rays were a mess. The turbulent living environment had led to the mermaid race's super vitality and adaptability …
Now, it seemed that the excellent talent of Lil Pea's race had worked. Regardless of whether the reactants of the Sacred Relic of Origins were harmful to ordinary races, at least it did not cause any harm to Lil Pea. Instead, it had nourished the little one.
But, Hao Ren was still worried. "How did she teleport when she burped?"
"Some kind of magic engraving." The MDT floated up and down. "Perhaps the innate talent of demon hunters is directly instilled like this. The mermaid race that Lil Pea belongs to has a high affinity for magic. It's just that we have no one to teach her. But this time, she has mastered some supernatural powers through direct infusion. We still need to analyze the theory behind this. Even if it's the Sacred Relic of Origins, its operation must follow objective laws. This infusion process may have something to do with Lil Pea's brain structure, or it may have something to do with the soul. The previous civilization in The Plane of Dreams should have the ability to study the secrets of the soul. "
As Lil Pea's nanny, Nangong Wuyue was only concerned about whether the little one was sick. She was relieved to hear that the little one was healthy. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Anyway, it's good that there's no danger … But, what we want to know is, what does the teleportation have to do with the burping?"
The MDT played a string of comedic sound effects. "Some people will turn into a husky when they eat spicy strips. What does a husky have to do with spicy strips?"
Lily's ears suddenly perked up. "Just say it. Don't bring it up to me. Some people even eat spinach and they can evolve …"
Vivian glanced at Lily. "Do you really think turning into a husky is super evolution? And have you ever seen a superhero transform with spicy strips?"
Then, as usual, the two of them went to the side to bicker. The main topic of today's bickering was the dialectical relationship between spicy strips and superheroes, and why a bigger tail was super evolution. Anyway, they had no idea how Lily came up with the topic of the tail again. However, spicy strips could not explain what happened to Lil Pea. After a long discussion, Hao Ren and Nangong Wuyue could only assume that Lil Pea's burping and teleportation was a weird conditioned reflex …
"Right now, she only has the teleportation ability of a demon hunter. But if I'm not wrong, Lil Pea will slowly show other 'demon hunter' phenomena in the future. For example, her blood can be used to exorcise evil, she can sense the aura of otherworldlings, and suddenly she can read Letta runes." The MDT speculated. "I suggest we pay more attention in the future."
Hao Ren suddenly thought of a very troublesome matter. "Wait a minute! If that's the case … she can't control her ability! None of us know how a demon hunter is trained! "
Y 'zaks looked down at Nangong Wuyue. "At this time, we need to find a teacher. Can you contact your brother?"
Nangong Wuyue shook her head. "That will have to wait for the next time he settles down. He's always wandering around the world. Only when he finds a temporary place to settle down will he take the initiative to contact me."
Hao Ren was puzzled. "What era is this? Can't your brother buy a mobile phone?"
Nangong Wuyue spread out her hands. "That will have to wait until he settles down. Sometimes, demon hunters will lurk in haunted places such as castles for months on end. You're hiding in the lair of demons and ghosts, and suddenly you call? You're asking for death. And more importantly, there's basically no signal in the places where demon hunters work … "
Hao Ren smacked his lips and thought to himself that there were quite a lot of practical problems. It seemed that Nangong Sanba could not be counted on for the time being. But before that, what should they do about Lil Pea?
The MDT thought for a while and came up with an idea. "When Lil Pea comes out, I'll turn on the sound and give her a scare."
Hao Ren was curious. "So she won't teleport randomly?"
"No, she won't burp."
Hao Ren was speechless.
Although it was a bad idea, it was better than no idea at all. They could only do it.
When Lil Pea came out of the medical pod, she was indeed startled by the MDT's sudden loud "March of Fate". Although the little mermaid continued to giggle, at least she finally stopped burping. Now, Hao Ren only hoped that the little mermaid's other abilities in the future would not be triggered by some inexplicable conditioned reflex like the teleportation. Before finding a training method, it was best to suppress the little mermaid's abilities as much as possible. He held the little mermaid in his hands and seriously lectured her for a long time. "Remember, if you have to burp in the future, try to hold it in. If you can't, burp in a safe place …"
Fortunately, Lil Pea's situation was just a small incident. After this incident was over, Hao Ren could finally go to The Plane of Dreams without worry.
