Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 53: Black Mist and Tower Prison
Good guy!
After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen's face suddenly showed enlightenment.

——No wonder the space station has to collect rare metals such as "zirconium ore". It is for scientific research purposes.

In the laboratory.

Under the watchful eyes of Xie Shen, the man in the suit, and a group of scientific researchers, Li Xiu controlled the transparent glass tube and rammed it into the ancient man's back.

next second.

Along with the ancient man's screams, a large amount of black mist began to flow into his body like water.

Xie Shen knew too well how powerful the black fog was.

Just now: He absorbed only a tiny bit, and his consciousness was immediately overwhelmed by countless negative emotions.

Even Xie Shen, a cultivator, is like this.

It is not difficult to imagine that the ancient people who were injected with a large amount of black fog must be suffering unimaginable pain at this moment.

He was shaking all over and wailing.

The tragic scene made everyone, including Xie Shen, look distressed.

Only Li Xiu still had that expressionless look on his face.

He was like an emotionless machine, observing the ancient people who were suffering inhuman torture without changing his expression.

Not only that.

Li Xiu even explained to Xie Shen while watching: "Normally speaking, ordinary people can't absorb the black mist directly like you do."

"If you want to absorb it, you must use an implement."

"And you can't absorb too much at one time, otherwise you'll end up like the ancients, living a life worse than death."

After saying this, Li Xiu just stood there quietly, as if waiting for something.

Time passed by minute by minute.

"Roar!"

Finally, the ancient man could no longer endure such great torture.

His spirit completely collapsed and he let out bursts of roars like a wild beast.

At the same time.

Li Xiu reminded Xie Shen at the right time: "Pay attention, it's about to begin!"

Inside the glass cube.

As more and more black mist was injected into the ancient man's body, his body began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the ancient man had swelled into a huge tumor.

The tumor has barbs on it.

The barbs are as soft as tentacles and densely cover the surface. At first glance, the only word to describe it is "shocking".

The experiment ends here.

Li Xiu Chong explained to Xie Shen, who had watched the whole process, "See: Black mist can be absorbed, but it must be done in moderation."

"Otherwise, once the amount is excessive, it will mutate into a tumor like the ancients did."

"Then, if it's just a mutation, then it's not a big problem."

"After all, there is resurrection magic, which can refresh a person's condition."

"So as long as they die, the mutated people can turn back into humans."

"But the problem is," Li Xiu emphasized word by word, "turning into a tumor is addictive."

"Addicted?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Um"

Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way: when an ordinary person touches a puppy, the amount of dopamine that can be secreted is about 30 units."

"Then in the winter, when you bask in the sun, you can secrete about 40 units."

"Yawning is 50 units."

“It will increase gradually like this.”

"The dose of dopamine that can be secreted by tickling is about 100 units."

"Sexual intercourse is 200 units."

"Then the drug can bring 1000 units." "At this point, it is basically impossible for humans to quit psychologically."

"And that's the essence of 'addiction.'"

As he spoke, Li Xiu suddenly pointed to the screen on the operation terminal and said to Xie Shen, "Do you see the numbers on it?"

"I see." Xie Shen looked at the terminal display and said, "The number displayed here is 10000."

At this moment, a possibility suddenly occurred to him, so he was uncertain: "Could this 10000 be..."

"you guessed right."

Li Xiu responded: "This 10000 is the dose of dopamine secreted by the tumor."

"That is to say: after a person absorbs too much black mist and turns into a tumor, he or she will experience a pleasure that is difficult to describe in words."

"This kind of pleasure is 100% addictive. From now on, you will become a slave who only wants to absorb the black mist."

"and"

Li Xiu emphasized: "Because it is a psychological addiction, the impact of the black mist on people is irreversible."

"Even if this person dies and is refreshed using the resurrection spell, he will still want to absorb the black mist."

"It's just to be able to mutate into a tumor again."

"Of course."

Li Xiu continued, "Although the side effects of the black mist are severe, there is no need to throw it away out of hand."

"After all, the benefits that can be gained from absorbing it are also huge."

"As long as the injection volume is controlled properly, the black mist can continuously improve the quality of the human body in all aspects."

"Not to mention, it can also increase the spiritual power of you monks."

Xie Shen knew very well that Li Xiu brought him to the second floor of the space station not just to talk nonsense with him.

He said directly: "Chao Jing told me before that you wanted my help with something."

"So, you might as well just say it directly: after telling me so much, what exactly do you want me to help you with?"

"Ah"

Li Xiu suddenly smiled at Xie Shen, which was very rare.

Although this smile was extremely forced and looked very artificial, it was simply a smile on the outside but not on the inside.

But this is enough to show Li Xiu's attitude when asking others to do things for him.

——He really wanted Xie Shen to help
Li Xiuchong thanked Shen and said, "Since humans can produce a large amount of black mist after being tortured."

"Then it's clear: the Tower Prison tortures humans most likely in order to collect the Black Mist."

"Then, in order to find out why the Tower Prison was collecting the black fog, our Tiangong Space Station and Heaven Space Station successively sent a lot of modified people to the surface."

"But without exception, none of these modified humans came back alive, and none of them were able to uncover any clues."

"So I thought of you." Li Xiu continued: "And, weren't you in seclusion before?"

"So I never had the chance to tell you about this."

"Now that you've been released from confinement, and it seems that your strength has improved a lot, I thought of letting you lead the team to sneak into the Tower Prison and investigate the specific situation there."

The technological level of the pseudo-humans is suspected to be far superior to that of humans.

Don’t say anything else.

The ball of light that could emit red light and easily cut a human body into countless pieces was enough to make Xie Shen feel fearful.

In addition, after the reformed people went to the Tower Prison, none of them came back alive.
Considering this, Xie Shen did not rush to respond to Li Xiu.

He just looked at the other person quietly and waited for his next words.

But Li Xiu offered a price: "If you are willing to take this mission. First of all, you can choose any terraformed person from the Heaven and Tiangong space stations, and you can also equip your team with various weapons and equipment."

"Then there's me, the brain, and Zhuge Fu."

"When you are carrying out your mission, we will provide you with tactical support from behind throughout the entire process."

"Then if this mission is successful, you will have priority in enjoying the results of future research on the black fog."

"How is it?" Li Xiu finally added: "If you are not satisfied, you can make another request."
