Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Rinku City.

"This is roughly what happened. Do you believe it?" Xia Jiumeng told him everything she could. Seeing a hint of trust in Shen Xinghui's eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, among the men, Shen Xinghui and Qi Yu are probably the most difficult to fool.

Don't be fooled by their young appearance. They actually have the most experience among the men. According to the Jiudan people I saw before I came here, Shen Xinghui is at least 500+ years old.

But I can’t say the same thing to Li Shen and the others. This guy definitely won’t believe it.

"I see. So, you built all of this based on those 'long-ago' memories?"

Shen Xinghui once again looked at this "workshop" that looked completely different from this era and was even very conspicuous on the future Philos.

Everything here is too advanced.

"Yes."

“But it’s not perfect yet.”

Xia Jiumeng shook her head. The equipment here was just average. The only special one was probably the room in the virtual world. But if you want to talk about a room with complete facilities, the only one so far is probably the one in area N109. If Shen Xinghui saw it, he would be shocked, right?

Shen Xinghui was so smart that he immediately understood what she meant. He blinked his cute little doe eyes and asked, "Is there a better place?"

"Yes, but I'm not going back now. After all, I haven't graduated yet, and I have to spend the rest of my time in school." Xia Jiumeng smiled and avoided the subject, lest Shen Xing reply that if he wanted to see her, how would he take him there?

Qin Che knew that the two men had to fight.

Besides, Shen Xinghui is still on the wanted list, so it would not be a good idea to lead him into a trap.

Seeing that Xia Jiumeng didn't seem to want to talk about the other laboratory, Shen Xinghui stopped exploring and instead focused on the rest of her words.

Yes, she seems not to have graduated from college yet.

"So, are you going back to school?"

"What about the association?"

"I told Sister Nan about my situation, and she said it was okay. After all, the association doesn't have any mandatory tasks, and the school courses are not difficult, so it shouldn't be too busy."

Xia Jiumeng stood up and took out two boxes of medicine from the refrigerator next to her.

"Shen Xinghui, I found out a lot of things during the time my memory was restored."

"I was Ever's experimental subject when I was little, right?"

Shen Xinghui paused and said nothing, or didn't know what to say.

"I know I'm special. Even though I managed to escape due to deep space fission when I was a child, they still didn't let me go."

"It just went from the open to the underground, right?"

After all, they cannot openly conduct such experiments that are not tolerated by morality and law.

Shen Xinghui was speechless, as if her situation had never been better, whether in the past or in the future, and she had always been a victim.

Xia Jiumeng saw the pain in Shen Xinghui's eyes, smiled and moved closer, gently holding his face. "Shen Xinghui, thank you, but now I will no longer be that puppet at the mercy of others."

She was no longer a helpless little lamb from the moment she came here.

"No need to thank me, protecting you is my wish."

Shen Xinghui held her hand and rubbed it gently, he did not deny it.

She was so smart and had regained her memory, so he was not surprised that she could guess this.

"But what are you going to do now?"

"Take it one step at a time. There's no rush. We'll talk about it later."

They didn't have time to deal with her now anyway.

"This is an energy replenishing potion, and this is a healing potion."

Xia Jiumeng walked over, put different labels on the two boxes and handed them to Shen Xinghui.

"it is good."

Shen Xinghui didn't ask any more questions. After all, he knew what the function was just by hearing the name.

"By the way, I have a special potion here, would you like to try it?"

Xia Jiumeng thought for a moment and asked.

"What potion?" He looked at her curiously.

"Genetic medicine can change your body and the upper limit of your strength."

But because Shen Xinghui is an immortal, she doesn't know whether this potion will work or not.

He simply took a drop of Shen Xinghui's blood and placed it on the testing table. "Xiao Qi, perform data analysis."

[Okay, analyzing now.]

"Why do you want to analyze my blood?" Shen Xinghui asked curiously as he looked at his fingertips that had stopped bleeding.

"You are different from ordinary people. You are immortal. In order to know the effect of the potion on you, we need to do a data simulation."

"This potion essentially increases the potential and upper limit of the human body, but I don't want it to be harmful to you."

"Is this potion rare?"

“It’s not very rare, but it’s quite difficult to make.”

[Data analysis successful, should we proceed with virtual world simulation?]

"simulation."

[The simulation board has been generated, please pay attention to safety. ]

Another 'Shen Xinghui' suddenly appeared in a blank transparent glass room on the left. He was sitting on the bed with a dull look in his eyes, wearing only a simple hospital gown.

"This..." Shen Xinghui looked at the scene in the room in some surprise, and couldn't help but stand up and walk over.

"This room is a virtual world made up of data. The person inside is made up based on your blood genes. They are not real people, so don't worry."

When she had some free time before, she asked Xiao Qi to upgrade the virtual world of the workshop. Although the materials were limited, Xiao Qi used his own energy to upgrade it, so now the area in this room can be used for simple biological simulation.

"Data Man?"

"Ah."

Shen Xing looked back at the person in the room who looked exactly like him and was still in disbelief. However, he had a strong ability to accept things and his demeanor had returned to normal by now.

"You made this..."

"Try to see how the potion reacts on you."

As Xia Jiumeng spoke, she called up the holographic screen on the glass of the room, which displayed data of various indicators, including heartbeat, pulse, body temperature, and even the strength of evol energy.

Although Shen Xinghui was shocked, he also believed that she would not harm him. He looked at her serious expression and listened quietly.

"I've already used this potion. It evolved into superpowers, and my strength, physique, and even lifespan have all increased to varying degrees."

As Xia Jiumeng spoke, she called up a split screen for Shen Xing to watch again. Her physical information was displayed on the screen.

[Name: Xia Jiumeng

Age: 21 (200+)

Gene unlock level: Basic unlock

Ability: Mutation Psychic, Origin Resonance

Constitution: C (improvement recommended)

Mental strength level: **]

"Have you used this potion before? When?"

Shen Xinghui, who was originally looking at Xia Jiumeng's information, withdrew his gaze without hesitation and turned to stare at her nervously.

“Um, it was just made not long ago…”

As soon as she finished speaking, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of her. Xia Jiumeng felt guilty and wanted to explain, but before she could open her mouth, she was suddenly hugged tightly by a figure with a faint fragrance.

The force was so strong that she felt a little pain.

She reached out to warn him but her heart sank when she felt his tense muscles and imperceptible trembling.

She felt his nervousness and fear.

Yes, Shen Xinghui, who had finally found her, how could he not be afraid when he knew that she did such a dangerous thing? After all, he had lost her once before.

He had to go back so many times and spend so much time before he finally found her again.

If I lose myself again, I will go crazy.

Xia Jiumeng held back the words she was about to say and quietly hugged his lean waist until she felt his tense muscles relax a little and the strength with which he hugged her became much less, then she spoke softly.

"Shen Xinghui, don't worry. I won't joke with my life. I only used the medicine after it was tested and found to be safe."

"I cherish my life very much."

After a long while, Shen Xinghui's somewhat hoarse voice finally rang in her ears: "Sorry, I lost my composure a little."

"It's ok."

Shen Xinghui loosened his arms around her, but one hand still held her tightly.

Xia Jiumeng felt it, but chose to pretend not to notice.

"Don't worry, I'm very long-lived now."

Xia Jiumeng pretended to be relaxed and put her finger on the big 200+ behind her physical information and age.

Shen Xinghui had calmed down by now. He looked at the number on her fingertips and asked, "What does that mean?"

"According to the upper limit of my physical fitness as determined by the physical fitness assessment, if I don't commit suicide, I can safely live to around 200 years old."

"200..." Shen Xing looked back at the number and murmured.

Xia Jiumeng remembered that Shen Xinghui was an immortal, and he could go back hundreds of years at a time. Compared to this, 200 years was really not a very long time.

"Look at these two. The upper limit of lifespan is not fixed. I won't live only a few hundred years." Xia Jiumeng's fingers fell on the mental power level and genetic level.

Shen Xinghui's eyes followed the movement of her fingers.

"What does this... mean?"

"Didn't I tell you that I recalled a more distant memory?"

"Gene medicine is made based on those memories."

"After being injected with the genetic drug, ordinary humans can break through their lifespan and gain superpowers. The higher the level of superpowers, the longer their lifespan."

"In those memories, I saw many beings that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old, or even immortal."

"Unlike Philos, that kind of longevity has no side effects."

"If you want to live longer, you just need to keep getting stronger. So the first thing I did after I remembered it was to make the potion."

“And then, I succeeded.”

As Xia Jiumeng spoke, a tiny arc of electricity appeared in her hand. "After confirming the safety of the potion, I injected myself with it. Not only did my resonance ability evolve into a superpower, but I also awakened my second mutant psychic power."

"Mutated psychic?" Shen Xinghui looked at the electric arc in her palm with some curiosity.

"Yes, it's similar to resonance, but a bit stronger. After all, resonance is borrowed power, while it is a mimic of one's own power."

"I can control and transform it into the power I need, thunder, or wood." Xia Jiumeng turned the arc of electricity in his palm and it turned into a gradually blooming star flower.

"Very impressive." Shen Xinghui praised without reservation.

Xia Jiumeng: What the hell is this tone of voice used to coax a child?

"Well, okay, let's not talk about this for now. Let's take a look at the results of the data simulation first." Xia Jiumeng looked at Shen Xinghui seriously to make sure that his emotions had calmed down before turning around and saying.

"it is good."

Shen Xinghui followed her footsteps and came to the door of the room where there was another "self".

Xia Jiumeng skillfully operated the virtual screen and shot a potion gun into the body of the dazed 'Shen Xinghui'.

"Xiao Qi, conduct data monitoring."

【OK. 】

【Data monitoring...】

But after a few minutes, 'Shen Xinghui' in the virtual room suddenly began to curl up and groan, and a large amount of cold sweat appeared on the exposed skin, soaking the hospital gown.

Xia Jiumeng was nervous for a moment, but seeing the normal data on the test screen, she did not act rashly.

Seeing the person on the bed calm down, her frown relaxed.

It seems that the medicine should be useful.

Before she could finish the simulation, a red alarm suddenly sounded on the virtual screen.

[Warning: Abnormal data on the backup unit, genetic sequence conflicts with the drug! Vital signs are rapidly declining!]

Xia Jiumeng immediately clicked to pause the simulation and retrieved the abnormal data for a closer look.

She soon found the source of the abnormal data.

One section in the gene sequence is different from that of normal humans. Normal humans have a segmented gene chain, but Shen Xinghui's genes do not have this section, and even the gene chains above and below are exactly the same.

【Master, this gene sequence is defective.】

[This will cause irreversible mutations in the subject over a certain period of time.]

Xiao Qi spoke with some concern.

Xia Jiumeng was a little worried. As expected, it was a good thing that she did not rashly give the potion directly to Shen Xinghui, otherwise he might really be in trouble.

This world is so funny. Human beings are actually degenerating on their own initiative.

Simply sick.

Shen Xinghui was born after the establishment of Philos, so he is not a modified person. This defective gene with hidden dangers must have been passed on to him by his parents.

What a CD.

Xia Jiumeng sighed, turned around and put on her white coat.

Shen Xing looked back at her, his expression showing something was wrong, and asked, "I can't use it, right?"

Xia Jiumeng shook her head. "No, it's just more troublesome."

"Your genes have a major flaw, and this flaw is the most important reason for the mutation of the people of Ferros."

"What?" Upon hearing this, Shen Xinghui immediately stepped forward.

Xia Jiumeng did not hide it and directly handed him two different sets of genes.

"Look, this is your gene. You don't have the sequence in normal human genes that allows for self-repair and rejection of foreign substances, and you also have an extra replication sequence."

"The consequence of this is that no matter what the cause, the subject will definitely mutate to a certain extent."

When Xia Jiumeng said this, Shen Xinghui suddenly remembered that everyone who went to the Starfall Forest seemed to be about the same age.

"did you mean...."

She knew that Shen Xinghui had the same idea as her, so she nodded affirmatively, "Yes."

Shen Xinghui's face instantly turned extremely ugly, and his round, doe-like eyes could no longer hold back, becoming sharp and cold.

“So they came so early…”

"call out!!!"

Before Xia Jiumeng could speak, a sharp ice blade suddenly brushed past Shen Xinghui's cheek and pierced through the screen she was holding up.

“!!!!” Xia Jiumeng stared at the half ice cone on the screen with wide eyes.

Oh my god, someone is plotting against me???

Shen Xinghui felt a stinging pain on his cheek and immediately conjured up a lightsaber and rushed towards the location where the ice blade came from with extremely fast reaction.

Xia Jiumeng, who was still a little confused, suddenly remembered when she heard the fighting outside the studio that Li Shen was at her house!!!

He quickly put down the screen and ran out of the workshop.
