The lengthy blood sample report contained all kinds of information. Li Xiang studied it for ten minutes before he could barely understand the meaning of the information.
He took a deep breath and returned to the dorm with the Blood Breed Daimei.
His mind was filled with all kinds of information, and at this moment, it gradually converged into one place. He was excited, but more than that, he was shocked and frightened.
So this was the case.
"Phew … I think it would be better to tell you in person." After much consideration, Li Xiang decided to invite Honey to his dorm. This matter was too important, and nothing could go wrong. He wanted to hear Honey's reply in person.
Honey hesitated for a long time before she replied, "Okay."
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door. Honey was only wearing thin pajamas. Her eyes were dark under her black-rimmed glasses, and her eye bags were heavy. She looked like she had not slept for days.
She looked extremely weak, and Li Xiang was shocked. He quickly raised the temperature in the room, poured tea, and prepared a blanket for her.
Looking at Honey wolfing down her food, he was shocked to find out that she had not eaten or drunk anything for three days!
Her body was so weak that it was as if she had undergone a major surgery.
"Are you crazy? If this goes on, your body will collapse before the research is done. "Li Xiang was speechless as he poured her a cup of hot water.
Honey smiled bitterly. She wanted to say something witty, but when she thought of the blood sample report, she could not smile.
For the past few days, the report had been tormenting her heart. There were a few times when she almost sent it to the director's office. The results were not something she could accept.
Satisfied, Honey put down her knife and fork. She wrapped the blanket tightly around her and looked at the young man who was tidying up the table.
Right now, he was the one who was most conflicted.
After tidying up, the two of them leaned on the sofa. Neither of them knew what to say. After a while, Li Xiang mustered up the courage to ask.
"Is this report reliable?"
"The analysis of the blood sample is not difficult, unless you gave me fake blood." Honey nodded firmly and whispered, "I hope it is fake …"
"So, I'm a mixed-blood descendant of the Bai family and the Wessex family?" Li Xiang sighed. Seeing that there was hope for him to uncover the mystery of his parents, he actually felt some resistance and fear.
It didn't make sense.
Yes, it was completely illogical.
"From the looks of it, that is indeed the case. Your blood has been tainted by the Aura of Disaster, and it's completely tainted. No, I shouldn't say that … "Mili's hands curled into the blanket as her voice grew softer and softer." This isn't tainted. It's actually hereditary. "
"Well, you also suspected this before. Now that you have the evidence, it's good." Li Xiang drank a mouthful of water and responded indifferently.
"Good, good my ass! Do you understand? Li Xiang! " It was rare for Honey to lose control of her emotions, but she quickly shrunk back into the quilt and returned to her normal state. "Your Calamity Heart is also contaminating your bloodline, but that's only on the surface. It's just a smokescreen used to hide what's inside."
"Hmm, the word 'camouflage' is used well."
"This lame joke isn't funny at all." Mi Li rolled her eyes at him. "You're still in the mood to joke? You should know best that the more you try to hide it, the more it shows that there's a problem. After peeling off the surface, I found the genes of the Bai Family and the Wessex Family in your blood. It's not a problem to say that you're a mixed-blood descendant of these two families. "
"It's not strange for these two families to have an alliance through marriage. Among the Five Thrones, other than a few who are enemies, there are also many alliances through marriage. The Bai Family and the Wessex Family, speaking of which, have a friendly relationship. "Li Xiang smiled, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
Mili sighed and mercilessly exposed, "Yes, there's no problem, but the biggest problem lies in the genes. Your bloodline contains the Blood of Disaster, and as I said before, it's hereditary. In other words, at least one of your parents has this thing. "
"What's even scarier is!" Mili didn't stop and continued, revealing a fact that both of them were trying to avoid. "You've studied biology and genetics, haven't you? Whether it's mutation or the legendary Disaster mutation, it's basically assimilating your body by accepting the aura of creatures from the Disaster Camp. In other words, these mutated humans still have human genes. Even if they fall to the Disaster Camp in the future, they'll directly become monsters. Your situation doesn't exist. "
"You're human, but your body carries the Disaster Genetic Factor."
Both of them fell silent.
"The only explanation is that one of your parents is a true calamity." The more Mili spoke, the more she trembled. Her entire body was about to shrink into the quilt. This wasn't her being pretentious, but an instinctive fear.
The more one understood the Disaster Camp, the more one would feel fear from the bottom of their soul towards these unreasonable creatures.
It was just like how during the Blue Planet era, people instinctively feared things like ghosts and other things that they imagined.
This was an instinctive fear that existed both psychologically and physically.
"But Disaster and humans can't mate, and it's impossible for them to give birth to descendants. It's even debatable whether or not Disaster can reproduce." Li Xiang pondered. "Unless they're like me, carrying the Disaster Genetic Factor while also being human."
"No, I also thought so at first, but after carefully analyzing your blood sample and the DNA in your … sperm, this deduction was wrong." Mili's face reddened, but quickly returned to normal. "You've asked me before which camp you're more inclined towards, and my answer is that you're a new species. I'm certain of this, as you're a new species that has never existed before. According to my experiments, your sperm can't mate with a normal human egg, as the powerful Disaster Genetic Factor will instantly devour the egg. "
"No matter who it is, it won't work." Mili's face reddened again.
Li Xiang nodded and continued to ask: "Then what's the result?"
"Without knowing the truth, we can't deduce the real answer. We can only try to deduce backwards. Assuming that you're a new species that they want to create, then your parents should be a human and a Disaster, but that Disaster should be different from what we know. Also, there are still people who know about this, but they should be the people at the top. They've hidden this matter. "
Mili rested her chin on her hand and continued to deduce.
She quickly drew out her hand and used the paper and pen on the table to draw a picture. This was a mind map that only she could understand, and it was a clue to help her analyze the truth of the matter.
Very soon, the parchment was filled with words.
"First of all, the fact that you're a new species is hidden means that someone knows about it, but that person is most likely the only person other than us, so they have to hide it. After all, if it's exposed, the best outcome for you is to be dissected and studied. Secondly, based on this, at least one of your parents is a [Special Mutation]. Those who really know about your background vaguely know a little, but they definitely don't know that you're the Taboo Fruit born from Taboo Love. Otherwise, I believe that you'll be strangled in the cradle! "
"They actually didn't know that my parents had become like this, or maybe they only knew a little about it. In short, being a mixed-blood descendant isn't important, but carrying the 'Calamity Genetic Factor' is fatal. Someone helped me hide it through this' Calamity Heart 'so that I wouldn't be discovered and erased before I grew up." Li Xiang suddenly thought of the mysterious man L. Wasn't this what he was doing?
"Then, is it possible that they know that I'm the child of a Disaster and a human, but they didn't kill me?" Li Xiang asked with a frown. "Your deduction is that they probably didn't know that at least one of my parents was a Calamity. But from what I've experienced, some of my elders knew about the inheritance, and even though they weren't at the top, they knew about it. I also know a friend who has the Mutant Mark, and she might be the child of a Mutant and a human. "
He remembered that Hestria and the Shadow of Night seemed to know about his inheritance.
"No, she must be different from you. The xenogeneic mark you are talking about is something she inherited from her parents. What you inherited is the Genetic Factor! " Honey shook her head. "But you said that your elders know about it, so the Five Kings naturally wouldn't not know."
The problem seemed to have reached a stalemate.
"If they don't care if you're the descendant of a Disaster and a human, then why would they hide this secret of yours … Wait a minute." Honey suddenly thought of something, looked into his eyes and said in a low voice, "Could it be because they don't care if you're the child of a Disaster and a human, but if you carry the Disaster Genetic Factor, that's the biggest taboo!"
Li Xiang suddenly understood.
"I see, so using the Disaster Heart to hide this point of mine, even if someone detects it, they'll only stop at the Disaster Heart." Li Xiang nodded. "It's not that the combination of a Disaster and a human has never existed, but a new species like me probably hasn't. A new species must be something that the Five Kings are wary of. They won't care if it's a human or a Disaster, but if it's neither, then it means that a new species has joined. "
The birth of any new species would cause the other existing species to be on guard.
Honey nodded. That was what she meant.
Without a doubt, the one who hated these things the most was the White King.
This year, he even introduced a new law to reduce the number of mutated humans, and specially set up a clean-up team. He didn't know the details yet, but it wasn't a good thing for them.
Perhaps the White King didn't care what kind of combination he was, but he cared a lot about whether or not he had a human nature.
He viewed any species that had a human body or soul mixed with something else as an enemy.
That was why King Dong Ling wanted him to do his best to hide the Disaster Heart.
The First Lady's trick made it so that no one other than those close to him would know of the Disaster Heart's existence.
Li Xiang told Mi Li everything that he had in mind.
Honey thought for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It seems that Lord White King isn't just obsessed with mental cleanliness, he also has an instinctive dislike and disgust for these mutated humans. This doesn't make sense. The other Four Kings aren't as exaggerated, so it's obvious that he knows something that only he knows. And these things make him feel that they're dangerous, which is why he's been doing this. "
The White King's contributions to the human camp were unquestionable, but he didn't have a good reputation. The White King was ambitious, and the phrase "Supreme White King" was proof of that. He had a grand plan to unify the human race, but that kind of grand plan wasn't accepted by many.
The Black King had introduced the "Immortal Black King" to keep him in check. Although he wasn't in Luzon, he didn't extend his influence to other places in the Seven Continents. The Dong Ling King was the same, and the Shield King and the Moon King had the best reputation.
The former devoted his life to becoming the shield of the human race, and his family was proud of it. The latter's family was filled with beautiful women, and even though they were a matriarchal family, they were the most popular family!
Li Xiang suddenly thought of his sister.
"Honey, you know my sister, right? Now that you mention it, I suddenly have a question. Actually, I didn't think too much about it before. I heard that Ye Tong was taken away because of the Book of Prophecy. But now, could it be related to my background? "
Li Xiang didn't care about his status in the Bai Family, nor did he care if he could return to that large family that he didn't have a good impression of. However, he was somewhat unconvinced and didn't understand. His performance was much more outstanding than most of the other Bai Family members of his age. From the final trial to the final ranking, he had long since made a name for himself.
Moreover, news about his background had gradually spread because of Ye Tong. The problem was that the Bai Family still hadn't done anything.
In fact, they hadn't even announced anything about Li Xiang.
They had never acknowledged his existence. They clearly knew about his relationship with Ye Tong, and they clearly had many connections with the Bai Family's branch families. However, on the surface, no one had said anything about the relationship between the Bai Family and Li Xiang.
They didn't admit or deny it, and they simply remained silent.
To be able to do this, other than that high and mighty person, who else could it be?
Why did that person do this?
Actually, he had thought about this question a long time ago, when he had left the final trial.
He had thought that after the final trial, he would receive a wave of probing from the Bai Family. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, and he had even made preparations to escape to the Dong Ling Family or to the border if things didn't work out.
The problem was that Li Xiang had caused such a huge commotion, but no one had paid any attention to him.
Honey fell silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Could it be that you suspect …"
"I didn't think so much before, but now that I'm talking to you, many things I don't understand have surfaced. Based on our conjecture, since the White King cares so much about these things, he definitely wouldn't allow someone unclean to return to the Bai Family. "Li Xiang's eyes dimmed. This was the conclusion that he didn't want to come to.
If that was the case, how could that person determine that Ye Tong was clean and he wasn't?
"Unless Ye Tong and I aren't siblings from the same father and mother, or even different parents?" Li Xiang said coldly. "Only those people know the truth, but from my experience, we grew up in an orphanage, and my memories are from the beginning. If you want to investigate, it's not impossible."
"In any case, it's the right thing to do to hide these things. With your current situation, the more you know, the more you investigate, the faster you'll die. Let's end this topic here. " Honey didn't want to delve too deeply into the grudges of the noble families. The mystery of Li Xiang's background was very tempting, but she didn't want to be killed by someone one day.
Honey was already very satisfied to be able to obtain such a special blood sample for her research.
It was just that this fact was a little shocking.
Li Xiang nodded. No wonder his Machinery Proficiency ability and his pale golden eyes were so similar to Cecilia's. It turned out that he had the bloodline of Wessex. However, he didn't know which of his parents was from Wessex and which of them was from the Bai Family.
There was no need for him to pursue these things now. What he needed to do was to conceal his edge and not let those big shots notice him.
"Speaking of which, if I were a Calamity, what would you do?"
Mi Li was startled by his sudden question.
The two of them looked at each other for a long time, then Honey said faintly, "Actually, I thought about telling this to the Director. I even thought that you would kill me or something like that when I came here."
"Then why didn't you do it?"
"Because I believe in you. When we first met, and later, you kept talking to me about emotions and feelings. You look cold, but you're actually more soft-hearted than anyone else. In your heart, emotions are more accurate than data. This made me believe that, at least for now, you're a human. "
"If, if one day, you become a Calamity …"
"Hmm?"
"No, it's nothing. You're a new species, so you have to have confidence in yourself." Honey smiled and took off her black-rimmed glasses.
This was the first time Li Xiang saw her without her glasses.
Before, he had heard that wearing glasses and not wearing them were two completely different things. He couldn't help but be amazed.
With glasses, Honey was just an ordinary girl with freckles on her face. After taking them off, there was a hint of intellectual beauty and charm.
He smiled and didn't say anything.
