Something's wrong with my roommate

Chapter 607 The Secret of the Past
what's the situation?
Everyone noticed the strangeness of the old man. His eyes were fixed on Xu Cheng, just like the eyes of an old father who had been separated for many years when he saw his own son.

The rest of the people looked at Xu Cheng, then at the old man, and they couldn't help but come up with many strange ideas in their minds.

Xu Cheng frowned slightly: "What are you looking at me for?"

The old man couldn't help taking a step forward, and asked, "Your grandfather... no, it should be your great-grandfather. What's his name?"

Xu Cheng's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed a possibility - he has genetic diseases inherited from his ancestors, and according to the history of the Super Power Association, most of the patients with these genetic diseases are victims of the human experiments of the Celestial Clan, so his Is it possible that the ancestor was also one of the experimental subjects who escaped on the day of rebirth, and happened to know this Professor Darcy in front of him?

"My grandfather's name is Xu Tao, do you know him?"

"Xu Tao? Hehe, probably the name was chosen later."

The old man had already calmed down from the slightly agitated mood, and explained: "I once knew an experimental subject, and his appearance was not exactly the same as yours, but probably [-]% or [-]% similar. He also died on that day. escaped."

Elsa and Diwana suddenly turned to look at Xu Cheng in surprise and joy.

What's surprising is that Xu Cheng still has this kind of life experience. What's more, the two have the same experience, and they are both descendants of the experimental subjects. The relationship between them may be able to go further.

At the same time, they also doubted what Xu Cheng said before, the friend with a genetic disease in his mouth, could it be himself?

This guy is obviously so powerful, why didn't he say a word of truth?
Xu Cheng ignored the eyes of the two, and pondered: "Their ancestors were also experimental subjects who fled. Why do you get so excited when you see me?"

The old man seemed a little tired from standing, so he sat down on the chair again, and smiled: "Because your great-grandfather is a very special experimental subject, which is related to the core plan of the Celestial Clan. It can be said that because his escape led to The related research of the Celestials has been delayed by at least 100 years."

And such a thing?
Of course Xu Cheng had never met his great-grandfather, not even his grandfather, after all their family was short-lived.

However, apart from the two advantages of early death and early reincarnation and superior appearance, their family is very ordinary. Even Xu Cheng himself, the previous 20 years of life were ordinary, and he did not even awaken his superpowers.

If it hadn't been for dog management, the end would have been nothing more than a little transparency engulfed by the tide of the times.

Now the old man actually said that his grandfather was very special, which is really unimaginable.

Elsa interjected: "Professor Darcy, can you tell us the details of the day of rebirth? Because of years of fleeing, the records of our ancestors on the day of rebirth have become blurred."

"I know, not much."

The old man did not refuse, and his old face showed an expression of reminiscence.

Just when everyone was about to wait for him to reveal the secret of a hundred years ago, Nagumo Narumi suddenly raised his hand and shouted: "Wait a minute."

Everyone's attention was drawn to her: "What's wrong?"

"Wait a minute, don't say it yet."

Nagumo Narumi immediately launched a teleport, disappeared in place with Lulu, and reappeared ten seconds later, holding a large bottle of Coke and potato chips in his hand, and sat down on the ground: "Let's start."

"..."

The atmosphere froze for a while, and this time even Xu Cheng couldn't help it, and reached out to knock her hard on the head: "It's a pity that I have always regarded you as my younger sister, and I only care about yourself, right? What about melon seeds and spicy duck neck?"

Elsa and Diwana: "..."

Nanyun Narumi rubbed his head: "Then shall I make another trip?"

"Where are others?"

Xu Cheng looked at Elsa and Diwana: "Do you want something to eat?"

The corner of Elsa's mouth twitched slightly, that's enough, can't you be more serious?

Darcy on the side laughed out loud instead, then licked his lips with his tongue, and asked Nagumo Narumi, "Is there any wine? I haven't had it for decades."

Hearing what the old man said, Elsa and Diwana had to give up resistance and choose to join.

Nagumo Narumi ran back and forth, and finally brought Darcy a bottle of wine, but he didn't know what brand it was.

He carefully unscrewed the bottle cap, took a sip, and showed a satisfied expression on his face: "That's great, I thought I would never be able to enjoy the taste of alcohol again in this life."

"can we start?"

"Hehe, don't worry."

While eating and drinking, Darcy recounted what happened that year.

A hundred years ago, Darcy Hoffman was a very famous biologist and university professor. The last day he appeared in front of the public was to accept the invitation of the US government to participate in an unannounced biological research project.

The research content involved supernatural powers, and Darcy was also very interested in it, so he accepted the invitation to participate without thinking too much about it.

He later learned that this project originated from the cooperation between the U.S. government and the Celestials, and it also involved human research. By the time he wanted to quit, it was too late, and even his personal freedom was under control.

The content of the project is to use the supernatural energy of spirits to create a core that can automatically absorb spirits.

And according to Dalsey's research, this core should be a switch to connect with the same core.

Therefore, he speculated that in this world, there should be another, even bigger, identical core that can continuously absorb spirits from all over the world.

Xu Cheng was taken aback when he heard this, and blurted out, "Is this core a tree?"

"Well, you know what?"

The old man was very surprised by Xu Cheng's words: "The external manifestation of the core is indeed like a tree, and the Celestials call it the World Tree."

"world Tree?"

The rest of them exclaimed. They all experienced the disaster of the collapse of the World Tree. Although they don't know the specific name, there is no doubt that only the giant tree that covers the entire earth can be called the World Tree.

The old man observed everyone's expressions: "Why, have you all heard of it?"

Elsa simply told him about the collapse of the World Tree.

After listening, the old man fell into silence for a few minutes, and finally he laughed: "It seems that my original speculation was correct. There is indeed a larger world tree on the earth. The Celestials created a small world tree just to Get in touch with the Great World Tree."

Nagumo Narumi chewed on potato chips and asked, "Then what does this have to do with the ancestors of mushrooms?"

The old man took a sip of the wine, and a slight dizziness appeared on his cheeks: "Since it is a tree, of course it needs a container that can be planted."

He pointed at Xu Cheng with his finger: "Your ancestor is the container that was specially researched to plant the world tree, and its importance is much higher than other experimental subjects, so his escape will delay the research for many years."

Xu Cheng's ancestor didn't have a name at the beginning, only the code name Experimental No. 1.

Because it is too important, ordinary staff cannot get in touch with him. Only Darcy, who is the main researcher, can get in frequent contact with Experimental No. 1 through work opportunities.

Darcy loves this poor and intelligent child very much, and at the same time, he is increasingly dissatisfied with the inhumane human experiments conducted by the Celestials, so he is ready to act.

The Celestials are not only conducting research on the World Tree, but also conducting research on the Heart of God and the power of the old gods, and Darcy has participated in it.

In a certain experiment, Darcy aimed at the opportunity when the members of the Celestial Race were not around, and deliberately gave wrong experimental data, which caused a powerful experimental subject to go berserk and destroyed the entire research institute.

With the help of Darcy, a large number of experimental subjects began to escape, of course including Xu Cheng's ancestor experimental subject No. 1.

Unfortunately, on the way to escape, Darcy, who was accidentally injured, was forced to stay. He presented a research manuscript on the World Tree to Xu Cheng's ancestors, and told Xu Cheng not to follow other experimental subjects, but to find a place where no one knew him. , quietly spend a lifetime.

Because Experimental Subject No. 1 is too important, if he shows up in public, it will definitely attract the full attention of the Celestial Race, and the best choice is to hide forever.

Xu Cheng's ancestors kept Darcy's words in mind. After escaping from the research institute, they did not follow the rest of the experimental subjects to create the Superpower Association, but left alone. So far, his whereabouts are unknown. The Celestials have been searching for him for many years but have not found him again.

As for Darcy himself, he was arrested again by the Celestials, but because of his excellent professional ability, the Celestials did not kill him, but completely imprisoned him to squeeze the labor force, and let the Spirit King control his mind so as not to mess with him again. trouble.

Darcy has been imprisoned in the dark for nearly a hundred years. Until today, Xu Cheng, the descendants of the experimental subjects who escaped back then, came here.

After the old man finished telling what happened that year, there was silence in the entire database, and everyone was immersed in the secrets of a hundred years ago.

If the old man didn't lie, then Xu Cheng must thank him. If it wasn't for his help, then Xu Cheng's ancestors would not be able to escape from the research institute, and he would not exist now.

"Thank you!"

Before Xu Cheng could speak, Elsa said with reddened eyes in gratitude, "If it wasn't for your help, none of us would have existed."

The old man waved his hand: "I have done innumerable sins by helping the Celestials. Helping your ancestors is just atonement for myself."

Xu Cheng pondered: "The manuscript you gave to my ancestors back then may have been lost."

If there is a chance to return to his hometown, he needs to look for the relics left by his grandparents.

"If you lose it, just lose it. It's just a souvenir."

The old man raised his finger and pointed to the working storage host not far away: "There are complete information hidden in it. If you want it, just take it away."

Only then did Elsa think about the business. They came here to find genetic technology and treat genetic diseases.

As one of the hosts of scientific research back then, Darcy might have a solution for this.

After listening to Elsa's narration, the old man was quite emotional. He thought that the escaped experimental subjects might be completely wiped out by the Celestials in a short time. He didn't expect that they not only survived, but also successfully formed a team that could live with them. A huge organization against which the Celestials fight.

"Gene technology is a very large subject with many subdivisions. Even if I am almost two hundred years old, I dare not say that I have mastered one-tenth of the technology."

The old man pondered: "If you don't think my old bones are in the way, I can try it for you, but I don't guarantee success."

Elsa said pleasantly: "Of course I don't dislike it. With your joining, I believe our sequelae will be resolved."

As expected of a person who can be the chairman, he speaks nicely, but Darcy's joining is also a surprise for Xu Cheng and others. Originally, he just wanted to find genetic technology, but he didn't expect to find an expert.

Xu Cheng came to the huge storage host, turned on the start-up control system, and entered the permission password belonging to King Ling. Among the huge data, he quickly found the genetic technology.

"Dog management, work."

[Gene editing engineering technology detected, start scanning]

The rest saw Xu Cheng standing in front of the host without saying a word, seemingly in a daze. Diwana subconsciously wanted to speak, but Elsa stopped her and shook her head at her to signal not to disturb.

Darcy also stared at Xu Cheng's back, as if caught in some memories.

【End of scanning】

[Acquire gene editing engineering technology, progress: 40%]

[Insufficient data, unable to repair genetic defects]

After more than ten minutes, the dog management finally finished scanning, and Xu Cheng was also surprised when he saw the process of skyrocketing to 40%. The genetic technology here was equivalent to the sum of what he had been looking for before.

"I'm ready, here you go."

Both Elsa and Diwana didn't understand what Xu Cheng meant by "I'm fine".

But seeing him give up his position, Elsa also stepped forward to check, and soon showed a happy expression: "The genetic technology here is something we have never touched."

The old man came back to his senses and reminded: "All the technology I have mastered is inside, take the whole hard drive back."

Nagumo Narumi and Diwana worked together to remove the entire host hard drive and take it away.

Before leaving, Xu Cheng directly destroyed the Oak Ridge Laboratory, and a group of people teleported away with Darcy and the hard disk, and returned to the headquarters of the Paranormal Association.

After asking Diwana to prepare a residence for the elderly, Elsa took Xu Cheng and Nanyun Narumi to the genetic laboratory of the Super Energy Association, and the two sides wanted to exchange the genetic technology in each other's hands.

"Why are there so few people here?"

On the way to the database, Xu Cheng found that the headquarters of the Super Association was sparsely staffed, and it was not even comparable to the copycat version created by Bai Yuelin before.

"Because our people are traveling all over the world, very few people return to the headquarters."

Elsa took them to the database of the genetic laboratory, asked a few staff members to leave, then started the host computer of the database, entered her own permission password, and opened the database of the superpower association for Xu Cheng.

"Mr. Xu, all our genetic technology is here."

Xu Cheng could only let the dog management start scanning again, and obtained 10% of the genetic technology. The total progress of the genetic technology he has mastered has reached 50%.

With 50% left, he will be able to cure the genetic disease and then integrate the artificial heart of God.

This trip to North America was quite fruitful.

After Xu Cheng stood in front of the screen again and was "in a daze", Elsa looked at him expectantly, hoping that he could share the genetic technology he had mastered.

Xu Cheng also had no intention of hiding it, and said, "I have a lot of skills, so let me write them silently for you."

Elsa: "..."

are you kidding me?Can this be silently written?

Xu Cheng ignored her suspicious eyes, sat directly in front of the computer, rolled up his sleeves and started typing.

However, the moment his hands touched the keyboard, the notification sound of the task suddenly jumped out.
