In the end, Mo Rendi accepted his loss.
In fact, he didn't say it out loud.
In his heart, he secretly admired Irin's ruthlessness.
Only by being ruthless to himself could he be even more ruthless to others.
Irin was lying on the ground at this moment, his right hand a bloody mess.
He stared at Irin's right hand expressionlessly. The flesh there was squirming and strangely growing a lot of granulation, which was quickly healing.
His collapsed left shoulder was also emitting a slight cracking sound.
But overall, Irin looked quite miserable at this moment.
Mo Rendi gloomily rubbed his left eye.
Although the injury was very light.
But that bruise was undoubtedly the proof of "injury".
— — There was no way to argue.
"Little bastard, that last bomb of yours … seems to be a bit different?"
"Hehe."
Irin smiled.
He didn't explain.
But he secretly said in his heart.
Nonsense, that was a gift prepared "in advance" for you, of course the power was different.
His injury recovered a little. Irin felt wave after wave of exhaustion in his body, and his eyelids couldn't help but droop a little.
But he still sat up and prepared to exchange his promise with Mo Rendi.
"Well, if you agree to a bet, you have to accept one of my conditions."
"Okay."
Mo Rendi stood with his hands behind his back and didn't intend to go back on his word.
But suddenly.
Mo Rendi seemed to have thought of something. He opened his eyes and added, "If you dare to mention anything related to Mengmeng, this old man will definitely not hesitate to kill you first … and then talk."
"…"
You dare to covet this old man's good granddaughter ~! You don't want to live anymore?
Of course, Irin wasn't that bored.
He recalled Mo Rendi's strange movement and directly said, "What is that movement of yours? Teach me. "
"Oh?"
Mo Rendi chuckled. "You want to learn?"
Irin asked back, "You don't want to teach me?"
Mo Rendi shook his head with a strange expression. "Actually … it's not that this old man doesn't want to teach you, but you should have learned it long ago."
“?”
"It's just Dragon Swimming Steps."
Dragon Swimming Steps?
Hearing this, Irin was stunned.
No wonder it was a little familiar.
But he didn't expect that Mo Rendi's quick and slow pace and strange movements were actually part of a national fitness program … Dragon Swimming Steps?
Mo Rendi smiled and said, "The best martial arts only require the simplest method of deduction. For example, this old man can kill anyone …"
As he spoke, Mo Rendi slowly raised a fist, exuding a domineering aura.
"Just one punch."
Mo Rendi finished.
He looked at Irin again and shook his head. "Everyone has their own path. Forgive me for being blunt, but your path is not here. Why do you have to force it?"
"If you insist on practicing, the amount of time and energy you will need will far exceed your imagination."
Irin understood immediately.
What Mo Rendi meant was …
You don't even have the talent to practice martial arts, so why are you indulging in fantasy?
"… Forget it."
Irin couldn't be envious of Mo Ren Di's abilities, just like how Mo Ren Di couldn't be envious of the Apostles' abilities.
Since there was nothing to learn, Irin did not force it.
But this bet … if he didn't take out something, it would seem like a loss.
Irin lowered his head and pondered.
Mo Rendi shook his head. Seeing that Irin was hesitating, he didn't plan to stay here any longer.
After all, he had a panda eye. If his granddaughter saw it, wouldn't it damage his invincible image in Molly's heart?
— — This was unacceptable.
Before Molly saw the panda eye, Mo Rendi planned to sneak away and wait until the panda eye completely disappeared.
"Wait."
Irin suddenly raised his head.
He smiled slightly. "Since Dragon Swimming Steps doesn't need to be learned, then do you have any … hidden weapon throwing techniques?"
"Simple and easy to understand, elegant and common, easy to learn, easy to learn, the kind that can be learned in a few minutes?"
As he spoke, Irin took out an "explosive bead" from his storage space.
Of course, this was before he used the skill to turn it into an "unstable explosive".
Mo Rendi: "…"
…
…
Irin finally remembered.
What was that important thing that Irin had accidentally forgotten?
"Didn't you say that you would draw my blood?"
When Irin found Molly, Molly was excitedly working on a metal frame with a group of young female researchers.
When Molly heard it, she could tell that it was Irin's voice behind her. She didn't raise her head and just waved her hand impatiently. "Go away! Go away, can't you see that I'm busy? We'll talk later! "
"…"
When all the female researchers in the room saw this, they couldn't help but laugh at Irin with strange smiles.
By the way …
The atmosphere in Molly's laboratory was extremely peaceful.
For safety reasons, every researcher working in the laboratory was screened by the special group, whether it was personality, attributes, background, family, education … or even gender.
Most importantly, there were no men.
This was indeed quite safe for Mo Rendi.
Therefore, during this period of time, Irin walked around the laboratory from time to time and attracted a lot of strange gazes.
"Hmm? Exoskeleton armor? "
After being ruthlessly rejected by Molly, Irin noticed what Molly was playing with.
However, the exoskeleton machine in front of him seemed to be … more bulky than what he remembered.
The mechanical skeleton was covered with metal parts. Thin lines extended from the limbs of the mechanical skeleton and other parts of the mechanical skeleton and finally converged on a helmet.
The helmet didn't seem to be a finished product. All the electronic components and wires on the surface were exposed, emitting a variety of colors.
Molly put on the helmet expressionlessly.
Click click.
On the helmet, a high-tech eye mask automatically lowered and covered most of Molly's face.
The other female researchers quickly became serious and quickly operated the surrounding instruments and recorded all kinds of data.
Seeing that Molly was indeed busy, Irin simply sat down and quietly observed.
He saw that Molly's expression was serious and her small face was tense. She seemed to be a little nervous.
In fact, the exoskeleton armor wasn't a high-end technology.
However, there seemed to be two innovations in Mo Li's play.
First, there was no one sitting in the armor.
Second, the helmet was remote-controlled? Oh?
Under Yi Lin's gaze, which was full of interest as she watched the drama unfold.
Click click click.
The exoskeleton armor suddenly stood up without anyone driving it. With the sound of gears grinding, it faintly emitted the smell of lubricating oil.
"It's done!"
Molly clenched her fists and couldn't hide the joy in her voice.
Suddenly.
The exoskeleton armor that had just stood up strangely started to rotate on the spot.
The original design of the armor tried to simulate human joint movements as much as possible.
As everyone knew, a normal human's knee joint could only bend and stretch forward and backward. It couldn't swing left and right.
However, the rotation of the exoskeleton armor directly caused the armor's knee to break. The sound of "click click click" pierced everyone's ears.
Then, the exoskeleton armor started to dance on the spot.
Hiss — —
Click click.
PIA。
Under everyone's strange gaze, the armor that was dancing on the spot finally fell to the ground silently, leaving only two metal arms twitching slightly.
Irin: "…"
Molly: "…"
All the researchers: "…"
Armor wreckage: "???"
After a moment of silence.
Molly helplessly took off her helmet.
However, she seemed to have expected this result and didn't look very disappointed.
"The 16th experiment … failed. You guys sort out the data first and send it to me later. "
After the others gradually dispersed.
Yi Lin seized the opportunity and went forward to ask curiously, "What are you messing with?"
Molly lowered her head and analyzed the curve on the screen. Without raising her head, she casually replied, "I'm combining the Xiao Family's neural connection technology and trying to decode the neural signal and re-parse it into the most primitive binary code …"
"Originally, I thought that as long as the binary code was reprogrammed to control the armor, it should be able to form commands and be able to control the exoskeleton armor …"
"I didn't expect this to be … Hmm?"
Halfway through her sentence, Mo Li paused and turned her head around abruptly. "Huh? When did you come? "
Irin was speechless.
Didn't you just reply to me?
You forgot about it?
Irin still kindly reminded her, "When the exoskeleton armor was dancing … With all due respect, I don't think this method will work …"
When Molly heard this, she immediately exploded. She stood up and shouted with her hands on her hips, "You, you, you, what do you know? F * ck off! "
Irin ignored Molly's outburst. After all, whether it was in the future or now, he seemed to be used to Molly's little temper.
Instead, he seriously thought for a moment.
"Can't we use AI assistance?"
Molly rolled her eyes at Irin. "Are you stupid? What's the difference between that and current technology? Don't you know that the current wearable exoskeleton armor has always used a large number of sensors to capture human movements and transmit them to the central AI processing unit to complete various complex mechanical movements? "
Irin laughed and said, "I mean, first use the brain to try to transmit signals without delay with the AI, then use the AI's computing power to give instructions to the machine. I think you want to directly use the brain to remotely control it, right? Hmm … I'm not a professional, I'm just saying, just saying. "
Molly heard this and was stunned.
It … seemed to make sense?
But how could the human brain be seamlessly connected to the AI? Was there a chip in the brain?
Or a remote control module in the brain to transmit signals?
No matter what … it seemed that it would only be possible after a human body modification?
This … was not good, right?
Irin's casual words made Molly struggle between technology and ethics.
Irin saw Molly frowning and could not help but reach out his finger to help her open the wrinkles between Molly's eyebrows.
"Alright, don't think too much about it … Did you forget something very important?"
"Stop fooling around!" Molly did not seem to notice Irin's actions and subconsciously slapped away Irin's hand. Then, she was slightly stunned. "Hmm? What important thing? "
"Didn't you say that you would do a blood test for me?"
"Oh – that's just a small matter. Just do it now, how big of a problem can it be? "
Molly waved her hand indifferently.
"Now?" Irin was somewhat uncertain. "Didn't you say … it needs to be done on an empty stomach?"
"Hmm? Did I say that? You must have remembered wrongly … hmm, you must have remembered wrongly! "
As Molly spoke, her tone became more and more firm. It was as though she even believed herself.
"… …"
Xiu xiu xiu.
Xiu xiu xiu.
Xiu xiu xiu.
"… …"
Molly buried her head in the blood test.
Finally.
Irin looked at the blood bag that was getting more and more full. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. Finally, he could not help but ask in a doubtful voice. "Are you sure … a blood test requires so much blood?"
Hearing that, Molly listened.
After thinking about it, it seemed to make sense.
So, she stopped drawing blood.
However, in order to be more confident, Molly tried to make her expression appear calmer. "How can I predict how much blood is needed? Isn't it good to draw more? Don't worry, it may seem like a lot, but for you, it shouldn't affect you. "
Suddenly.
Molly seemed to have thought of something. She raised her head and asked. "Right, I almost forgot to ask you. Last time, you said that you felt something was wrong?"
Irin was speechless.
However, he could not be bothered to argue with this lady. After all, it was as Molly had said. This little blood loss was not a problem at all.
He opened the interface and looked. In just a short while, his HP had been restored to full.
In addition, before entering the Inner World, if there were any injuries on his body, Tower would very considerately ask if he needed to use Death Points to recover. Now that Irin had a lot of Death Points, it was indeed not a problem.
Thinking about it, Irin indeed did not tell Molly about his situation in detail.
Since there were no outsiders around, Irin did not hide anything and directly took out Blood Jasmine from his Inventory.
Molly did not have time to notice that after Blood Jasmine was attached to him, there were slight changes in its appearance compared to when it was first created.
However, under Molly's shocked gaze, Irin had already made a quick cut on his arm.
"You-"
Molly only had time to say one word.
She subconsciously thought that Irin had lost his mind and was actually harming himself in front of her.
However, in the next second.
Near the neat wound, many tentacle-like granulation tissues strangely drilled out and wriggled crazily. After a few seconds, the hideous wound that was cut by the knife was restored to its original state. Not even a scar was left behind.
"..."
Molly stared with her eyes wide open and was speechless for a while.
This time, she didn't cry out in surprise.
It was as if ever since she met this bastard, Molly had seen many "unscientific" things. When "surprise" became the norm, she gradually got used to it.
Irin silently put away Blood Jasmine.
Molly's strange gaze looked at Irin from top to bottom and re-examined him. She seemed to find it difficult to speak and slowly opened her mouth.
"You..."
“?”
"Why don't you just stop being human?"
"..."
Molly nodded seriously. "To be honest, I'm not too sure if you're still human. Well, forget it. Let's check first. "
She did not know if she was ridiculing or if she truly thought so.
Molly did not care about Irin's speechless expression. She directly took the scalding hot blood from Irin's body and jogged happily all the way to a pile of instruments.
Taking advantage of the free time, Irin originally wanted to know about the progress of Ling Yiyi's treatment.
However, when she remembered Molly's expression when she drew his blood, Irin decided to ask later. It was safer.
Beep beep beep.
All kinds of strange analysis instruments made sounds.
Irin waited quietly.
Finally.
After a while.
After repeated analysis, Mo Li finally managed to deplete the bag of blood without any wastage.
"Hmm..."
Molly's expression was serious. Her fingers moved quickly on the tablet as if she was browsing through all the analysis data.
To be honest, Irin could not understand the messy formulas and data at all. As expected, professional things should be left to professionals. Only then would it be reasonable.
When it came to business, Molly was not careless.
"Whether it is the blood routine analysis, composition analysis, or gene analysis, the results show that... it is completely normal."
Irin frowned. "Normal?"
"Yes!" Molly helplessly threw the tablet away. "I also feel very surprised and feel that the results are very unscientific. According to the results, you should still be considered a purebred human. "
"..."
What?
You actually feel very surprised that I am a human?
Irin almost could not help but shoot Molly.
— — "Calamity Haunting."
However, Irin still held back.
After all, he could not use the apostle's ability on Molly. It was just a thought.
Seeing Irin lowering her head as if she could not accept the fact that she was "still a human", she softly comforted her. "Don't be discouraged. This is only my preliminary conclusion. However, because of your... special identity, I can't find more professional genetic engineering experts to analyze your DNA."
“?”
"In other words, maybe you are already not a human. It's just that my level is limited and I can't detect this result."
"..."
Molly did not notice Irin's slightly ugly expression. She continued to smile and said, "Of course, actually I also thought of another possibility."
"Say it."
"Well, I feel that we should believe in science. If the results of the analysis of these instruments are not wrong, does it mean that when I drew your blood, everything in your body belongs to the category of a normal human?"
Hmm?
Molly's words.
This made Irin ponder.
Indeed.
The "Dionysus Factor" seemed to be activated every time Irin was injured. When he carefully recalled that when the Dionysus Factor was activated, it seemed like a warm current gushed out from somewhere in the body. The strange feeling flowing in the blood, Irin could even clearly feel it.
"Oh right." Molly suddenly showed a curious expression. "You still haven't told me, how did you become like this?"
Irin was too lazy to correct Molly's words. He thought for a while and finally thought of a very suitable description that would not trigger the "forbidden matter". "I was injected by someone."
"Ah, this..."
Molly heard this terrible description and was slightly startled at first. Then she reacted. "Could it be some kind of drug that modifies the human body?"
Irin nodded.
"Or some kind of parasitic microorganism in the human body?" When Molly thought of this possibility, she could not help but shudder slightly. After all, this speculation was a little disgusting.
Irin heard the word "parasitic".
He subconsciously touched the piece of dead skin that was tightly attached to his forehead.
To be honest, when Irin was doing the "finger cutting" experiment, he also tried to cut off the piece of dead skin.
But no matter what angle Irin cut it, what was separated was a piece of ordinary human skin. After it healed, the "dead skin" was still clinging to his forehead and could not be removed.
Anyway, Irin had given up the idea of finding a way to separate the "dead skin".
Let "it" stick to "it". It would not die anyway.
Finally.
Molly seemed to have given up the idea of continuing to examine Irin.
After all, the result was already very obvious.
Irin could barely be considered a human at the moment.
No matter how much blood was drawn and how many times the examination was done, the result would probably be the same.
But to be on the safe side, Molly also agreed that she would ask some professionals from the side, or perhaps read the relevant academic materials herself.
Irin was not surprised by this result.
He could only think about it next time.
But overall, there was nothing wrong with the examination for the time being, which was good news for Irin.
At least from a "scientific" point of view, there was nothing wrong with Irin's body.
Whether it was the unknown "dead skin" or the modification of the "Dionysus factor", no special side effects had been found so far.
Let's ignore it for now.
Another two days passed.
It was already the beginning of October.
Unknowingly, many days had passed in Molly's laboratory.
Other than solving his normal physiological needs, Irin spent all his time in that small room.
Pan Zhengyi had run off somewhere, and Irin was too lazy to care about him. It was rare for him to have some peace.
Anyway, Pan Zhengyi was not a child, and the laboratory was so big. Nothing big would happen.
"Castrated Psychic Needle."
"Unstable Explosive Object."
"Hidden Weapon Technique."
Irin constantly familiarized himself with new skills and then turned them into his own strength.
As the apostle's level increased, the level of the tower would also increase. In other words, the risk of the trials in the inner world would also increase.
No matter if it was the past, present, or future, the apostle's level would always be in a "pyramid" structure.
The higher the apostle's level, the fewer there were.
Countless apostles had perished on the path of advancement.
Irin sat cross-legged on the ground.
He casually opened the apostle panel to take a look.
Daily training could no longer allow Irin to quickly increase his attributes.
Just as Mo Ren Di said, he was not suitable to walk the path of ancient martial arts. Without talent, he was destined to not be able to walk too far on this path.
At the bottom of the apostle panel.
Unknowingly, there were some changes.
Irin was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but smile. When he closed the apostle panel, he couldn't help but let out a sigh, full of emotions.
"Mo Ren Di … As expected of Mo Ren Di."
"If he could become an apostle with his initial attributes … perhaps he really would be invincible."
Suddenly.
At this moment.
A burning pain came from the "Death Brand" on Irin's chest.
It was still that familiar pain.
It was like being scorched by a red hot iron on his chest.
Irin's body was covered in cold sweat. After a few seconds, the pain disappeared.
"It's finally here."
Irin smiled slightly.
He stood up and strolled along the long and narrow corridor without making a sound.
He activated [Shadow Pursuit].
No one noticed Irin's passing.
Even if they did, they would just give him a quick glance and wouldn't care at all.
Irin first came to Ling Yiyi's special treatment room.
Ling Yiyi was lying on the bed, in the middle of treatment.
Even if Irin activated his skill, he knew that Ling Yiyi definitely knew that he had come.
With Ling Yiyi's sharp hearing, she would definitely be able to hear his breathing and heartbeat.
As expected.
Ling Yiyi's lips curled up slightly.
But very quickly.
She didn't know why, but she seemed to have noticed something. That faint smile had a bit of worry.
"Be careful."
"Okay."
Irin turned around and left.
There was no need to say more, no need to ask more.
After glancing at Ling Yiyi.
Irin then went to another room and found Molly who was busy.
Molly seemed to be really busy. Whether she was busy researching the technology to control machinery with nerves or the large number of projects given by Irin, the whole laboratory was extremely busy.
Thinking of this, Irin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
But he still thickened his skin and asked Molly for a certain piece of "equipment" that had long been custom-made.
Of course, he couldn't avoid being scolded by Molly with a glare.
Well, get used to it.
He missed it.
When Irin successfully put "that piece of equipment" into the storage space, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that this simple mechanical spring structure didn't exceed the threshold of "technological level" limited by the storage space.
Irin was alone.
He locked himself in the secret room.
— Safe.
Irin lowered his head and thought for 10 minutes.
He made sure that he didn't miss anything.
Writing a suicide note or something?
Haha.
That didn't exist.
He would definitely come back alive, no matter what method he used.
So.
Irin raised his head again and smiled slightly.
"Enter the Inner World."
Tower: "…"
