Chapter 53: advanced civilization
Afton took Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai through the long corridor and came to the small building in the backyard.
He took off the key on his waist and opened the door of the small building.
This ancient way of opening doors is rarely seen in the future world. Nowadays, people are more accustomed to using smart door locks. Fingerprints, irises and even blood can all be the keys to open the door locks.
Seeing that neither of them was surprised by the way he opened the door, Afton spoke highly of them and explained, "I know that some people with strong abilities can easily hack into the protection system, so I put the key It's safer in my opinion to keep it by yourself."
Xiao Yu: "It seems that what you want to show us is very important to you."
"Heavier than life."
Xiao Yu and Ji Canghai looked at each other, and there was a faint suspicion in their hearts. When they followed each other down the stairs and came to the basement, this conjecture was confirmed.
"Her name is An Lina, and she is my lover." Afton walked slowly towards the mermaid soaked in the nutrient solution. He stroked the cold glass container, and the tenderness in his eyes almost overflowed.
Xiao Yu looked at An Lina. Although the other party was not naked, there were scales covering the important parts, so Xiao Yu's eyes would not make Afton feel offended.
With long golden hair reaching to the waist, no flaws can be seen in the exquisite face, among so many people Xiao Yu has met, only Ji Canghai's appearance can be slightly better.
"You must have done some research," Afton said bluntly. "My lover is a mermaid Alpha. Her talent is extremely high, so she is also very repulsed by the mermaid genetic defect. I have tried every possible method. Saving her can only maintain her life, but cannot awaken her consciousness."
Ji Canghai pondered: "The genetic defect of the mermaid is a problem that has persisted since the birth of the mermaid. Its existence has affected generation after generation of mermaid Alpha. It is as difficult as heaven to solve this problem."
"It's really hard. If I rely on myself alone, I'm afraid I can't even keep Alina alive." Afton paused suddenly, implying, "I have brought you to meet my most cherished partner, Should you both say something to make me feel at ease?"
As soon as Ji Canghai heard it, he knew that the old fox would not scatter hawks when he didn't see a rabbit, so he had to first listen to whether the news he brought was worthwhile.
He smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "I have news about a mermaid Omega."
Ji Canghai's words fell on Afton's heart like a heavy bomb.
Mermaid Omega's spiritual power can cure Mermaid Alpha's genetic defects, which is the easiest and most difficult way to cure genetic defects.
The simple point is that the mermaid Omega's spiritual power is like a key, and it is easy to solve the problem of the mermaid Alpha gene defect; the difficulty is that the mermaid Omega is rare in a thousand years, and the key to cure the Alpha gene defect can only be the mermaid Omega mental strength.
Afton had spent half his life looking for a solution to genetic defects. If he could find the mermaid Omega, why would he need to spend so much time on a goal with no hope in sight.
"Tell me, where is he?" The enthusiasm in Afton's eyes was almost overflowing.
Ji Canghai, however, was like an experienced hunter, not fully sure, and would never show his cards: "I have already shown my sincerity."
Afton had to restrain his mind, and asked him with burning eyes: "What do you want? You keep such a hand, isn't it just for me? I will satisfy you by offering your price."
"Your Excellency is really straightforward," Ji Canghai clapped his palms and smiled, "I want to know who instigated you to buy the mermaid, and where did the bought mermaid go?"
Afton's pupils shrank slightly, and he seemed to understand something in the blink of an eye: "What are you asking for? Believe me, knowing this will not do you any good."
Ji Canghai smiled disapprovingly: "Just tell me, you don't need to worry about the rest."
Afton asked suspiciously, "If I tell you, you will take me to that mermaid Omage?"
Ji Canghai said with a smile: "Your Excellency, the lion has opened his mouth. You can decide for yourself whether my questions are worth the price. If you can hand over the mermaids you bought unharmed, I can promise to let you go." You meet him."
Afton frowned and said, "It's impossible to be unscathed, I can only guarantee to bring them here alive."
During the discussions between Ji Canghai and Afton, Xiao Yu remained silent.
He looked at the mermaid in the container. It turned out that the mermaid's genetic defect was so overbearing. He could clearly see that An Lina's blood vessels had turned black, and her scales were stained with an ominous deep purple, as if they were about to rot anytime. .
An unknown emotion surged in his heart, and he could hardly control his mental power.
Although Ji Canghai was fighting with the old fox, he was also distracted by Xiao Yu. Seeing that Xiao Yu's expression was wrong, he immediately held the other's hand: "Xiao Yu, are you uncomfortable?"
Xiao Yu shook his head, he didn't want to waste all his previous efforts, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency Afton, I think you may have misunderstood, Ji Canghai and I are not very patient people. If you are willing to let us in, I am afraid it will not be enough Because I'm a mermaid?"
His gaze was like a torch: "I just said, how could it be such a coincidence that Ji Canghai and I just heard about the plan of Dusk Forest. Your Excellency Afton, since when did you notice us? When we hijacked the spaceship? Or When Ji Canghai took out his black card?"
Afton chuckled: "Don't say that, I just wanted to teach the robbers who disrupted my business, but the two of you are beyond my expectations. Well, I can tell you the truth, and I can also rescue all the imprisoned mermaids , and even help the Independent Army deal with the Federation. The condition is, I want you to help me cure An Lina."
Ji Canghai threw out a capsule: "I think this can prove our sincerity."
Afton is well-informed, and he can tell at a glance that this is a mental power capsule, which can store a small amount of mental power.
He carefully held it in the palm of his hand: "This, this is..."
"The capsule made with the spiritual power of the mermaid Omega, you give it to An Lina, it can improve her genetic defect symptoms." Ji Canghai said to him, "If you keep your promise, I will let the mermaid Omega bring her the real capsule. newborn."
"I will never break my promise!" Afton impatiently took the capsule up the stairs, climbed onto the glass container, and dropped the capsule into the nutrient solution.
Soon, An Lina's body emitted a glistening white light, and the deep purple on the scales gradually faded, and even the deep black with blood vessels disappeared for most of it.
Afton looked at his lover who had improved, and tears filled his eyes: "Nana, I promise, I will find a way to cure you."
Although Alina has not recovered her sanity, her complexion has improved at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Afton knew that Ji Canghai hadn't lied to him, so he reluctantly walked down the stairs, talking in a nonchalant way: "Three years ago, Nana's condition deteriorated rapidly, and she was about to die. A distinguished guest suddenly The visitor gave me a bottle of potion and asked me to take it for An Lina. An Lina’s condition was under control, and I asked the guest for more potion, but the other party offered to exchange it with a mermaid.”
"It was only later that I found out that the guest came from a higher civilization. And the mermaid's genetic defect, they are the real instigators."
