Chapter 2155: Unknown and Profound (Part 2)
3:51 a.m.
In a long downward passage, there was a sound of footsteps. The passage was dark, but the man walking was moving forward steadily. After a while, a faint light appeared in front of him, and the man showed his figure.
Akimi, wearing a plaid suit, walked slowly into the underground arena, where some machinery and instruments were placed. Marcus was sitting next to a culture chamber, quietly looking at the values on the light and shadow panel.
"What's the situation?"
Akimi jumped down and nodded.
"Those guys have already hidden. I'm afraid X has betrayed everything."
Marcus laughed coldly.
"Just right, come and take a look."
Akimi walked over quickly. On a light and shadow screen, there was a human body value, and in the culture chamber, there was a man lying. His body was pale, and there were clearly visible black meridians on the surface of his body. He looked like he was sleeping.
Looking at Marcus in front of him, Archime had a strange feeling. This man was not Marcus. Archime had suspected this a long time ago, but Archime had never said it clearly.
Archime had been working with Marcus for many years, just for the same purpose, and could only work with Marcus. As for the group of creators, they were all the same in the eyes of the two, stupid and without boundaries.
They were still dreaming of the beautiful dream that Fry had drawn for them, but it was a pity that it was just a dream and could not be realized at all.
It was just that Archime wanted to have a good talk with Marcus today, or the guy who had been controlling Marcus' consciousness all along. Archime had realized a long time ago when he was still in the Academy of Gods that Marcus had changed.
This change did not seem obvious to many people, but Archime was very good at observing people. Archime had seen the changes of every student in the academy, but Marcus's change was not a curve, but a difference, a huge change difference.
No one noticed it, including the gods, but Archime noticed that such a change was the change in the major studied.
When Marcus first entered the Academy of Gods, his best subject was not medicine, but he had a very high talent for machinery. However, in medicine, Archime saw that Marcus' talent in medicine was very average in the first study.
However, after a period of time, Marcus chose medicine, a field that he could not be good at at all, but he was able to conquer it easily and even surpassed Archime.
As a genius in medicine, Archime knew very well that he had a medical talent that was no worse than Hua Shen, but Marcus suddenly showed his talent, which even made the gods quite admired.
It was this point that made Archime doubtful. Talent is often shown when doing something for the first time, but Archime has been mediocre in medical courses for many times in a row, without any talent.
Archime, who was already a doctor at the time, knew very well that Marcus was not good at medicine, but the opposite was true later, so Archime suspected that Marcus was no longer the original Marcus, and he had undergone some unimaginable changes.
Over the years, Akimi has been observing Marcus' every move. This difference has been revealed to Akimi countless times in the past seventy or eighty years.
Sometimes Marcus would even ignore the most basic medical knowledge and would be completely stuck, but after a while he recovered a fairly high level of medical skills.
At first Akimi suspected that this was caused by schizophrenia, but after detailed observation and dialogue, Akimi found that this was a state above schizophrenia that humans could not understand at present.
And it was impossible for Marcus himself to cause this state, it could only be external forces, so Akimi determined that there was something else in Marcus' body, just like an auxiliary program, which often influenced Marcus' behavior and helped Marcus gain a foothold in medicine.
"What's wrong, Akimi, you are strange tonight."
Akimi sat aside without a smile.
"Don't you think it's a bit strange, Marcus?"
Marcus looked at Akimi puzzledly and asked.
"What's strange?"
"Do you really know everything about medicine?"
Marcus was even more confused, and he stood up.
"What exactly does this question relate to?"
"The little trust we have left in each other."
Marcus laughed.
"Arkimi, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't say these inexplicable words. In the field of medicine, I am..."
Marcus's expression seemed hesitant, and he said after a while.
"I am second only to you and Hua Shen."
Arkimi nodded, and after Marcus sat down, he continued to look at the research data.
But this did not make Archimy feel at ease, but rather very strange. When Marcus paused, the confusion in his eyes was completely revealed, as if he was asked about a field he didn't understand at all.
Arkimi continued to observe Marcus. In his long-term research on the nano world, Archimy discovered an extremely interesting thing, which Archimy has never mentioned to anyone so far.
This world may have matter smaller than quarks, so small that it cannot be observed by any means.
This was discovered by Archimedes in his long-term nano research, and he discovered it from plantoids. Archimedes had conducted long-term research on plantoids in private. He had conducted tens of thousands of experiments and was sure that the things that make up plantoids are smaller than quarks, but they cannot be found at all, but can be felt through certain specific experiments.
Many strange events that have occurred in recent decades have made Archimedes feel that there is something hidden in this city, something that cannot be seen at all, and these things cannot be detected by any means by humans at present.
But these things are related to Marcus, so Archimedes feels that there is really something in Marcus' body, but Archimedes still cannot find evidence to confirm it directly.
"By the way, Marcus, can you answer a question for me?"
"What is it?"
Archimedes asked after thinking for a while.
"Are you really Marcus himself? Is the person talking to me now really Marcus?"
"Who else can I be?"
Marcus said with a smile, and Archimedes also smiled.
"Maybe it's my delusion. You occupied Marcus' body and wanted to do something with Marcus."
"What happened to you today?"
Akimi shook his head.
"If you really occupied Marcus' body, I hope to talk to you. What exactly do you want to do?"
Akimi continued, and Marcus stood up angrily.
"What do you want to say?"
Akimi also stood up and then spoke.
"You can't complete this research of fusing human and animal genes to make human mutants stronger because you have no talent at all, both in medicine and biology. Tell me who you are?"
Marcus grabbed Akimi's collar and roared.
"I am who I am. Who else can I be? Did you have a brain problem tonight?"
After Marcus let go of Akimi, he said sorry.
"I'll go downstairs to see what's going on."
Akimi walked towards the cave opposite, but just before he stepped into the cave, he suddenly turned sideways and made an attacking gesture. A black shadow passed the edge of the cave. Akimi looked again, and it seemed that there was nothing. However, after just a few steps, Akimi heard a rustling sound in the dark cave.
Akimi looked vigilantly to see what was in the dark cave. Soon, Akimi found in his head that all the nano-bio-robots he had released had disappeared.
"Who is it?"
A dull voice came.
"Nice to meet you, Akimi."
Akimi was even more confused. He turned around and found that there was darkness behind him, and a scarlet light appeared in front of him.
"You are the first human to realize my existence, so as a reward, I will tell you something."
Akimi swallowed. What he had been thinking about for many years actually came true. He didn't know where he was, because the nano-bio-robots could not distinguish the direction. This was the first time in Akimi's cognition.
"What are you?"
"Before answering this question, shouldn't you turn off the light source in your hand?"
Akimi looked at the thing in front of him in surprise. Akimi probably guessed that this thing was afraid of light, because plant-like plants were also afraid of light.
"This is also for my safety."
Akimi took out his mobile phone and pressed it to trigger the strong light.
"Plant-like plants are indeed conscious as you think, and they are called common consciousness."
Akimi thought doubtfully. Now he might know what this thing is. As long as he turned on the strong light, he could see it, but Akimi gave up.
"It's a wise choice. If I really want to kill you, it's easy to do it in this underground."
In a blink of an eye, Akimi saw Marcus, who looked dazed, standing next to him, which made Akimi feel incredible.
"The reason I did all this was just to break free from this damn cage. The story should start from the time you can't understand."
Akimi swallowed and felt more and more shocked.
"This Marcus is closest to my isotope, so I can use him, but he can never sense my existence. What about you? Why can you see me and hear me speak? What do you think in your cognition?"
Akimi shook his head. He couldn't understand what was in front of him and what he wanted to ask.
"Because you realized that there is an existence like me that humans cannot perceive, and even all the technological means in this world cannot detect. After you realized it, you gradually believed that such a thing exists, so your isotope can contact me, so you can hear me speak and see my existence, but this is temporary. In the future, you will lose your isotope again because of fear and cannot sense or see my existence."
Akimi nodded.
"Then can you tell me what kind of existence you are?"
"My existence is equivalent to the existence of this universe, or the origin of the universe."
Akimi's cold hat was on, and he felt getting colder and colder. At this time, a vast starry sky appeared in front of him, but from a distance, Akimi felt extremely shocked.
"According to your human classification, I belong to the highest level of the ninth level of life form, the Devourer."
Akimi took a step back, feeling increasingly cold.
"Sure enough, the co-location rate has begun to be lost, and you will soon be unable to hear me, see me, or feel my presence."
Gradually the light returned, and Akimi woke up. He looked behind him. Marcus was still conducting numerical research, but there was nothing in front of him.
Akimi looked at his trembling hands. Everything that happened just now seemed to be not an illusion, but a reality. However, he couldn't see it now. The guy might be staring at him secretly. Akimi laughed.
"It seems that there is no problem in cooperating for the time being, Devourer! A ninth-level life form."
After checking Marcus again, Akimi entered the dark cave.
At this time, Marcus, who was looking at the data, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"The time will come soon."
7:19 am
Le Xiao felt a chill and struggled to open her eyes, smelling the smell of smoke.
"The sun is shining on your butt, little girl, get up quickly."
Niya's voice came, and Le Xiao got up quickly. Both Alpha and Niya were there. Le Xiao was completely stunned. After a while, he regained consciousness and Le Xiao immediately asked.
"What on earth is it? Why didn't you call me during the meeting last night?"
After Niya put out her cigarette, she took off her shoes, lifted Lexiao out of the bed, lay down in the quilt, and pulled the warm quilt over her.
"I'm very sleepy, I need to take a nap."
Alpha laughed easily.
"You will know after a while. Le Xiao, you have to go to Section 1 today. King Xue has something to do with you."
Le Xiao swallowed. The thought of that guy who looked kind but was actually sinister gave Le Xiao a headache.
Alpha shook his head and urged Lexiao to hurry over, directly moved out another bed, lay down on it, and fell asleep on his side.
"Really, don't tell me anything. If there is something important, if I don't know, I will be embarrassed again later. It's true."
Complaints are complaints. After washing up, Le Xiao went straight to the canteen. It was still the same as before. The chef had already prepared it for Le Xiao.
"Give me some hard-boiled eggs. I can eat them later if I get hungry."
The head chef smiled and brought five over. Le Xiao looked around and hurriedly put them in his pocket.
"Did they have an important meeting last night? Didn't you deliver the food?"
The head chef smiled and shook his head.
"It was sent up by the steward and Michelle."
Le Xiao became more and more confused.
