Britannia, London.
Lan Mu and the other CANC members arrived here.
He had a long chat with Ordonis, both of them had accepted the reality of the situation and calmly faced it.
Once they thought it through, there wasn't anything they couldn't accept.
The only difference was that they had become more humble. This was something that humans had experienced over and over again ever since they saw the sea and stepped into space.
Every time, they had to broaden their horizons, see themselves more clearly, and step forward every time.
"The Colorless Stone's range is just up ahead. The space ring requires mental power to use, so it won't work once you enter. Remember to take out anything you need in advance" Ordonis reminded.
Lan Mu nodded, he already knew that without needing to say anything.
They quickly passed through the Thames and landed. The ship was legal, registered as a Greek merchant ship.
Through the warp gate, the ship directly crossed the European continent and arrived at the British Channel without anyone noticing.
"Kong Xuan, how big of a commotion did you cause before?" Enoch asked in a low voice.
"Very big!"
"Then why is there no movement in London at all, as if nothing happened?" Enoch curiously asked.
Lan Mu smiled: "Do you think the royal family will take the initiative to reveal such a shameful thing? Don't worry, my appearance has already changed "
Since he couldn't use his mental power, Lan Mu simply transformed into Dante and hid the two great guns under his red coat. With his white hair and handsome face, the royal family probably wouldn't be able to find him based on the appearance of the Great Shaman.
"It's been two days since we arrived in 1860, it's now the 1st of July, the Oxford Great Debate seems to have ended … but he should still be living in Oxford University right now" Lan Mu said.
Ordonis smiled: "The anomaly is on him, so he must have brought it with him. I know where it is, follow me"
They didn't go straight to Oxford University, but instead split into three groups.
One group went to find Darwin, one stayed behind to guard the ship, and one hid in the city to deal with any unexpected situations.
Lan Mu, Ordonis, and six other members quietly entered Oxford University.
The one leading the way was Ordonis. Although he hadn't been to Oxford before, he knew where the anomaly was.
They could easily find Darwin's residence by simply asking for directions.
"I didn't expect the academy to provide him with a house and a small garden for his research. According to the students, he even brought his own ape experiment subjects. He didn't even show up during the debate. Instead, he had Huxley show up while he was still immersed in his research," the member who asked for directions said.
Ordonis sighed and said, "I can completely understand him, but the ones who will pay the price are all of humanity."
They were determined to get the shelter, and the group rushed into the courtyard of Darwin's hut.
As soon as they entered, they saw plants and animals all over the place. It could be seen that Darwin had taken great care of every plant.
They walked into the house and did not find Darwin. Aldonis said, "He's in the basement. Look for him."
In just a few seconds, Lan Mu found the basement and opened it.
What came into view was a large iron cage. In the cage was an ape, which seemed to be a female.
As for Darwin, he was leaning against the front of the cage, holding a gentleman's hat in one hand and caressing the ape's face with the other. He even moved his mouth closer to the ape's face.
"This …"
The group of people from CANC were stunned. Was Darwin molesting the female ape?
It was fine to lock the female ape in a cage in the basement for research at such an old age, but how could he kiss it?
The female ape was very irritable and scratched Darwin's hand and face. There were many such scars on Darwin's body, and some were obviously infected.
"No wonder his body is getting worse and worse …"
Ordonis went up and pulled Darwin.
Darwin looked at everyone blankly and said, "Why did you break into my house?"
Ordonis said seriously, "We are members of CANC, Mr. Darwin. We thank you for your contributions to science, but you can't use this hat anymore! What you're doing is hindering the evolution of humans. You, who came up with the theory of evolution, must know what it means to not be able to evolve, right? "
Then, Ordonis explained the characteristics and side effects of the degenerative hat in detail.
Darwin said in a daze, "You … How do you know so much?"
"No! I can't give it to you. I'll soon know the first ancestors of humans. "
He took a few steps back and put the hat on his head.
"Calm down! Mr. Darwin! Don't do anything rash! "Ordonis was shocked. The degenerative hat could make them revert to their ancestors, but it could not restore them.
Darwin did not use his ability, as if he only intended to deter them.
He looked at everyone, and his gaze stopped on Lan Mu. His face was filled with confusion.
"This is impossible … Demon?"
When Darwin put on the hat, he was able to see through the Blue Shepherds at a glance.
Lan Mu's heart moved. He was now Dante, a descendant of the demon Sparda. He had nothing to do with the Abyss Demon.
He said, "Don't get excited. Haven't you finished studying the ancestral question?"
Darwin shook his head and said, "No! Life on Earth has gone through too many stages, and I'm far from tracing back to the most primitive stage. "
Then, he took out a hand-drawn drawing. On it was a hideous round worm that looked like a mouth.
"This is the first ancestor of humans 550 million years ago. It's only one millimeter in size. He's my child, Charles. He was born for only three minutes before he died."
As he spoke, Darwin looked at a container filled with liquid. Tears flowed out of his eyes, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
Lan Mu could tell at a glance that there was a round worm in the liquid that ordinary people could not see with their naked eyes.
He thought to himself, This Darwin is a sentimental person. His love for science made him extremely sad about the death of even a small worm.
At this moment, Ordonis said solemnly, "Charles, is this your biological son?"
"Pfft!"
Lan Mu was speechless. He looked at Ordonis as if he was looking at an idiot.
"Why don't you understand? What Darwin means is … He treated that worm as his own child, so … "
As Lan Mu spoke, he suddenly stopped talking. He looked at the bottle of liquid and realized something.
How could there be a primitive worm from 500 million years ago in this era?
Thinking back to Ordonis' words, Darwin must have carried out human experiments, reverting humans back to their ancestors and reverting them to their ancestors.
"This … This worm is your biological son?" Lan Mu looked at the worm's corpse in the can in shock.
Darwin did not answer. Instead, he pointed at another can. There was a white worm that was only one centimeter in size soaking in it.
"The worm will take millions of years to evolve into a larger worm in the ocean. She's Mary, my daughter … She only lived for one day at this stage before she died."
Lan Mu looked at the worm's corpse. This was Darwin's other daughter.
He felt a chill all over his body.
Darwin continued speaking in a scientist's tone, "The worm will evolve into a fish with a spine and a brain over a long period of time. This worm is the ancestor of vertebrates. After that, some fish stepped on land and evolved into reptiles. After that, the reptiles went extinct in large numbers. Then, some reptiles suddenly turned into mammals … After that, they became ancient apes. "
Darwin looked at the black ape in the cage and said, "This is my eldest daughter, Annie. She's ten years old this year. I love her very much … I was apologizing to her just now and saying goodbye for the last time. She's stronger than Charles and Mary. I believe that she will be able to persist until the end of time. Let me study the more distant ancestors of humans. "
Hearing Darwin's words, a few of the CANC members were already trembling in fear.
This Darwin actually used his own flesh and blood as an experiment. This was the second time Lan Mu saw a mad scientist after Qu Bo. One was medicine, the other was biology.
Wasn't science also a kind of drug?
