Shadow trail of the beautiful world

Chapter 468

The fulfillment of the promise to Randolph made Merlin settle a matter.

He is not very willing to owe favors to others. This thing will turn into the most troublesome debt in many cases.Fortunately, this matter related to Asgard is finally over.

After getting the mysterious symbiote Beowulf, Merlin's life returned to normal rhythm again.

Nothing happened for the next period of time, until a few weeks later, another matter that Merlin was concerned about finally came to fruition.

In the laboratory of the ghost base, Merlin who got the news was standing on the edge of the slowly opening biological cabin, and Lilian, a researcher of SDOLD, was standing beside him. She was recording the scene with a small video recorder in her hand. Results data from mutation assays.

For Lilian, the scenes in front of her are very important research materials, and the different results of each experiment can give her a deeper understanding of the mutant transformation of the witcher.

The task Merlin gave her was to further simplify the mutation transformation ritual. He hoped that this transformation ritual would become simpler while retaining the success rate.

The Dionysus Gold in Merlin's hand is running out, and he urgently needs Lilian to find a substance that can replace Dionysus Gold's life-locking function, so as to ensure that the transformation ceremony can continue after the Dionysus Gold is used up. .

The good news is that Lilian's research in this area has already made progress. She used the chlorophyll of plants and other substances to successfully complete the first half of the mutation test on a mouse.

The bad news is that it may be a while before this process is replicated in humans.

"Swish"

After the biological cabin was fully opened, a cold breath burst out from it, like a tumbling ice fog.

Due to the special situation of George Tarleton, who was undergoing the experiment, in order to reduce the impact of pain on George's mind, while he sealed his mind, the temperature in the biological cabin was still far lower than the outside world. In paralysis, the pain of transformation will be weakened again.

Merlin reached out to push away the scattered ice fog, and he saw George in the experimental cabin.

After seeing the results of the experiment, Merlin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The mutation test was successful, and George returned to a normal body shape. His terrifying big head has disappeared, and his 3-meter-high deformed body has also returned to its previous 1.75-meter shape.

He was like a frozen experimental subject, his skin was covered with ice flakes and melted drops of water.

"It's really surprising."

Lilian next to Merlin recorded the "unpacking" scene with a video recorder and said:

"Before I came into contact with this mutant consciousness, I couldn't imagine that some special medicines could have such a drastic effect on the human body. I'm curious, sir, if we change the ingredients of the medicine, will the experimental subjects A more drastic transformation of the shape of the body?"

"can."

Merlin says:

"In the past, in the process of demon hunters improving their mutation rituals, many similar things happened...especially the alchemists of the Flying Lion School. They like to change the formula of the potion to try to find a more perfect drug combination .”

"But the results of their experiments are often not so good. Those creatures that are induced by mutations and cause deformities are often difficult to survive. Companion under the sword."

He turned to Lillian and said:

"You can try it according to your own ideas, but you can't use it in human experiments. Maybe you can find a few monkeys to do experiments, but it's best not to be seen by Winston."

"Ok."

Lillian brushed her beautiful fiery red hair, and the very sexy researcher winked at Merlin, she said:

"Winston doesn't come here often. He usually stays in the machine shop. In fact, Researcher Moira has secretly collected samples of Winston's hair several times... She seems to be too smart about that hair." The orangutans are very interested."

"Then she'd better restrain her perverted research desire."

Merlin put his hand on George's wrist, which had closed his heart, in a deep sleep. He tried to wake up the lucky guy in front of him with the vibration of magic power.

He said to Lillian:

"Winston is not the kind of creature that will let Moira come, it has enough ability to protect itself. You should also persuade our Ms. Moira properly...Last week, Deadpool asked me Complaint that Moira sneaked into his cell in the middle of the night to draw his blood, but Assistant Vanessa found out just in time."

Having said that, Merlin paused, and he said to Lillian earnestly:

"I really have no objection to your research, but she should really restrain herself, it's for her own good."

"Ha ha."

Lilian laughed dryly twice, and she said:

"I can't persuade Ms. Moira. She is my predecessor, and she is used to doing her own way."

"Ok."

Merlin says:

"Then let me take some time to chat with her."

After finishing speaking, Merlin withdrew his finger on George's wrist. Stimulated by his magic power, the eyelids of George, who had closed his mind and fell into a deep sleep, began to twitch, and he was about to wake up.

After a while, George Tarleton opened his eyes.

His eye pupils have not changed, and he has not changed into cat pupils like other demon hunters. This is normal. After all, he only accepted the first half of the transformation ceremony, and he has not really completed the transformation of demon hunters, and there are no other mutations. Without the trigger, the transformation ritual would only tear and restructure his body, not turn him into a superhuman.

"Uh..."

George let out a groan of pain.

With some difficulty, he turned his head to look at Merlin, who waved his hand, shaped a mirror with magic, and hovered it over George.

George glanced at himself in the mirror that had recovered. He looked at the featureless and mediocre face. A surprised smile suddenly appeared on his pale face. He raised his hand slightly bluntly and touched himself. cheeks, eyes full of satisfaction.

But soon, George's expression became subtle, as if something special happened.

"what happened?"

Lillian noticed the change in George's expression, and she asked:

"Is it unwell?"

"Do not..."

George was lying in the biological cabin. He tried hard to sit up physically, but failed several times.He looked at Lillian and Merlin, and said:

"I...I can't feel my legs..."

"Ok?"

Merlin frowned, manipulating the gravitational force with his fingers, lifted George up, and placed him on the laboratory table beside him. Lillian quickly manipulated the medical equipment for testing, using an X-ray-like scan ring, sweeping over George's body.

A few minutes later, the test results appeared on the screen. Lilian, wearing a pair of round glasses, looked at the data carefully. After a preliminary analysis, she turned to Merlin and George and said:

"Your physical condition is normal, and there is no damage to the body, and the nerve bundles have not been damaged. It stands to reason that you shouldn't have such a problem...unless, unless during the transformation process, some It's something we don't quite understand yet, but it's going to take a little while to analyze."

"Can I still recover?"

The expression on George's face was somewhat indescribable.

He just got rid of the monster shape, but now he has lost his legs, and he doesn't know whether to be happy or sad.

"I can not confirm."

Lilian shook her head regretfully at George, she said:

"Maybe, you should wait until Ms. Moira comes back and ask her to test your gene sequence. Maybe the mutation test has changed your genes, but this is not certain."

While Lillian was talking to George, Merlin was standing next to the test bench. He frowned and looked at George who had lost control of his legs. He seemed to remember something.

"Perhaps I can explain what happened to you."

Merlin says:

"George, can you still control the data? And your psychic power, is it still there?"

"Ah."

George nodded. He raised his hand, and the shut down instruments in the laboratory started up automatically under the action of some force, and the hovering mechanical arms also started to rotate in mid-air according to his thinking.

"My powers are preserved...maybe a little less."

His voice also sounded in the hearts of Lillian and Merlin, which represented that George still retained the ability brought to him by that brain experiment.

"Ok."

Merlin nodded, and he said to George:

"Do you know Dr. Charles Francis Xavier?"

"know."

george said:

"The famous Professor X, in the research blueprint before AIM, the research and replication of Dr. Xavier's ability has been an enduring topic, but unfortunately, those experiments have failed, and no one can replicate that horror Even if it is copied, the body of an ordinary person cannot withstand the oppression brought by that heavy spiritual power... Ah, I understand!"

George suddenly realized at this moment.

He looked at Merlin, who shrugged at him:

"Obviously, George, you have encountered the same situation as Dr. Xavier. Your spiritual power is too huge, so huge that only an alienated body can bear such a heavy force, and your big head is also necessary to carry that kind of power. transformed, but now..."

"Now I have recovered my normal body."

George said in a daze:

"The body of a normal person cannot bear that kind of force... so losing control of my legs is just the beginning. If I continue to retain and use this kind of power, the pressure on my body will only be heavier. Maybe next time I will All I lost was control of my spine, then my hands, and finally... I ended up lying in bed like a vegetable."

After hearing George's analysis, Lillian and Merlin fell silent. After a while, Merlin said to George:

"I'm sorry, George, I didn't expect this situation before."

"No, it's not your fault."

George said in a low voice:

"It's not your fault, you helped me again, Mr. Merlin, you helped me realize my wish, but these... such things, I should have guessed a long time ago, getting these powers will not come without a price."

As he spoke, George waved his finger and summoned the suspension chair designed and made by himself that had been placed in the corner of the laboratory. The unmanned silver-white metal chair hovered lightly beside the test bench. , With Merlin's help, George sat back on the chair again.

However, this chair was made for George when he was in a big head state. Now that he is back to normal, the chair is very spacious, and he can lean on it as if he is slumped on a sofa.

He put his hands on the armrests of the suspension chair, tried to put a smile on his face, and said to Merlin:

"Maybe I should accept this reality."

"This is actually not a bad result. As long as I don't use those abilities anymore, my state should not deteriorate further... This is a good thing. I finally don't need to go out with a monster's face on my face."

"Actually, it's not like there's no turning point."

Merlin rubbed his chin and said to George who was floating beside him:

"I heard some mutant friends talk about the professor when he was young. For a while, after he was injured and his limbs were paralyzed, he obeyed a special drug that allowed him to walk freely like an ordinary person, but The price is that while gaining freedom, he will lose all abilities and become a real ordinary person."

"If that drug worked for Professor Charles, it must work for you too, George, after all your situations are so similar."

Merlin said to George sitting on the suspension chair:

"Maybe I can help you get some of that medicine back, let Lillian and Moira figure out the ingredients of that medicine, and then make a potion for your situation. It shouldn't be difficult."

"Then please!"

Although his expression was peaceful, George's heart was not at peace. After hearing what Merlin said, he asked Merlin almost immediately:

"Please help me get that drug... I will make it up to you, Mr. Merlin, you are my real good friend in this life, as long as I can do something, I will try my best to help you do it!"

"You're welcome, George."

Merlin waved his hand. He took out an ID from his pocket and handed it to George. He smiled and said:

"Just agree to be my tech advisor... I'll pay you, give you a position and an office, and of course, I can give you a new identity if you need it."

"Okay, I accept!"

George took the certificate in Merlin's hand without any rejection, and he said to Merlin:

"You have helped me three times, Merlin, good friend, I am willing to assist you with anything."

"Ah."

Merlin nodded. He took out his pocket watch and checked the time. He said to George:

"I'm going to Xavier Academy for Gifted Youngsters right now, Agent George, I just need your help with something here."

When it came to work, Merlin's face became serious, and he said to George:

"I need you to help me find something hidden in the world, which is related to data and alien mechanical life. This matter must be done secretly, but I believe that with your ability to control data, as long as you want to , then you won’t be discovered by anyone.”

"So, what exactly are you looking for? Merlin."

asked George.

Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said a word.

"Tinder!"
