Chapter 288 (1/2)
The woman took a quick deep breath and then said panickedly, “yes, they want the heaven’s messenger to return, but it is not just selecting one person out of 10 people that simple. It will select one key candidate, and then use the other 9 candidates’ lives as the energy supplements to support the return of the heaven’s messenger! Lord Chamberlain, please! I don’t want to die, I know it is important to humankind but I really don’t want to die…”
Chu Yunsheng glared at the other two candidates and said, “do you two know about this?”
Both people shook their heads.
Chu Yunsheng looked at her and said harshly, “they don’t even know what you are talking about. How do you know you are going to die? Tell me!”
The woman said sadly, “lord chamberlain, I used to be a cryptographic expert in the computer field. The divine realm is in fact just a complicated and advanced program. Since I was locked up here, I have nothing to do. So every time when it tried to a.n.a.lyze us, I would also try to decode its program. Although I only understood some basic information, it is more than enough for me to determine that the rest of the nine people will die.”
Chu Yunsheng looked at her with a sceptical gaze and asked, “Impossible! If the divine realm wanted to complete the return process of the heaven’s messenger in this way, it would have started the return process already. Why does it want to wait until now?! There are many people in the yellow mountain area that have the similar gene it wants. There is no reason for it to wait!”
The woman raised her head and said sarcastically, “lord chamberlain. Since you are in charge of this process, you must have met the divine realm, and it must have told you that the reason why it needs time to decide the chosen one is that it hasn’t found the optimum gene. Am I right!?”
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head. The silhouette indeed told him this.
The woman sneered, “It is lying! Lord Chamberlain, why would an advanced program like it need to take a long time to a.n.a.lyze it? It could perform quant.i.tative a.n.a.lysis, calibrate the results and compare them within a day!”
It was not that Chu Yunsheng had not thought about this before. He was always not happy about the progress of the program. But since he didn’t understand that high-tech stuff, he didn’t dig that deeper.
Seeing Chu Yunsheng was thinking, the woman carried on, “it is looking for a specific fragment in each of the ten candidates’ genes that is not overlapping with each other. But when those fragments are added together, the new gene needs to reach a high degree of completeness. And the higher the completeness the better it is. It is because of this that they need more time. Otherwise, like you said, they could just kill anyone here to make a new set of genes, why do they need to wait.”
Chu Yunsheng’s heart skipped a beat. What she said, made sense. There were flaws in the reasons that the silhouette gave to him.
But there was one thing he still didn’t understand, “I have already got the list a long time ago. If what you said is real, why does it still need to wait?”
The female said angrily, “it needs live candidates, the activities of the genes must also be synchronized. In order to adjust the activity of our genes, it used a floating slab to forcibly inject a lot of strange liquid into our spine. It takes about 20 days for this type of liquid to take effect. If I am not wrong. You must have just received the list 20 days ago. Am I right? If you still do not believe me, you can check our spine!”
Chu Yunsheng knew the floating slab she was talking about. The blue energy liquid tube was sent to him by that thing. Moreover, the days she mentioned matched exactly the date he got the list. So, at this point, he had already believed what she said.
When the two frightened male candidates took off their tops and exposed the pinholes behind them, an uncontrollable rage just rushed out of Chu Yunsheng’s mind.
He knew the divine realm was hiding something from him, so he didn’t believe everything it said.
However, the divine realm knew the relations.h.i.+p between him and Tan Ning, it still wanted to kill her, and it even dared to ask him to help.
If it weren’t for the woman in front of him, he might have ended up killing his best friend’s cousin!
Chu Yunsheng gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold back his anger, “I’m going to ask you one last question, how do you know that you are going to die, not others?”
The woman shook her head in desperation, “I was hoping that I might be the chosen one. But I discovered that it had already picked a candidate when the last time it scanned us. Although I don’t know who it will be exactly, I know that the result is a male!”
“Motherf.u.c.ker!” Chu Yunsheng punched at the large tube and shouted angrily, “Edgar, get in here!”
Edgar was startled by Chu Yunsheng’s shout. When he just got inside, he saw Chu Yunsheng’s punch landed at a large tube and it instantly broke the gla.s.s of the tube into pieces.
The strange light green liquid was splashed all over the places, and Chu Yunsheng was glaring at him angrily…
He had been with Chu Yunsheng for quite some time, but he had never seen Chu Yunsheng this angry before…
“Tell Cao Zhengyi to get ready!” Chu Yunsheng said coldly, “tell all our forces to stay on the highest alert and wait for my order!”
……
The divine realm couldn’t detect what happened in the palace, so it provided Chu Yunsheng enough time to react.
Chu Yunsheng couldn’t calm down after he came out of the secret chamber. Tan Ning was probably being forced to take off her clothes and being forced into those tubes now.
Although the female candidate, who he had spoken to earlier, said that it was best to have 10 candidates in the gla.s.s tubes, it didn’t mean that it had to be 10 of them. What if they wanted to push the progress and just use 7 of them?
