The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 518 Mirror Vaccine
She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly opened them, her eyes flashing with determination.

As the parasite fully hatched, Mivi felt an unprecedented power surge into her body.

She can clearly feel the fluctuations in her emotions and can transform that emotional energy into tangible power.

She tried to wave her arm, and a wave of energy formed from anger instantly shattered the rocks on the cave wall.

"I...I did it!" Mivi looked at her hands in astonishment, unable to believe that this power actually belonged to her.

However, she was also well aware of the price of this power—she had to control her emotions at all times, otherwise the parasite would lose control again.

The members of the expedition team were all shocked by the changes in Mivi.

They were both happy for Mivi's new abilities and worried about the price she would have to pay.

However, Mivi simply smiled faintly and indicated that she was willing to take any risks to protect this universe.

In the days that followed, Mivi began to study the nature and characteristics of this parasite in depth.

She discovered that this parasite was connected to a vast network—an observer's emotional database.

This database records the emotional fluctuations of all life in the universe, from which the parasite draws power.

Mivi tries to uncover the secrets of this database, but unexpectedly discovers a shocking piece of information—the database contains records of David's emotional fluctuations at the time of his birth.

This record details the emotional resonance that occurred in the universe at the time of David's birth, as well as the expectations and blessings that the observers held for him.

As Miwei looked at this record, a strange emotion welled up inside her.

She knew that this record was of great significance to David, and she understood that she had to protect the database from falling into the wrong hands.

So she began to study the connection between the parasites and the database even more diligently, looking for ways to protect them.

In this process, Miwei gradually grew into a stronger and more mature woman.

She learned how to control her emotions and use the power of the parasite to contribute to the team.

The cracks on her face have become her unique mark, making people even more awe and admiration for her.

However, the threat from the abyssal creatures was not eliminated.

Their parasitic behavior on the concept of "anger" is just the beginning; many more unknown dangers await the expedition team to discover and confront.

After the Molten Throne event, the universe once again fell into a brief period of calm.

However, this calm did not last long, and a new crisis quietly emerged.

Cynthia, the explorer who bravely sacrificed herself before the tombstone of civilization, her wisdom and sacrifice were not in vain.

Her research notes documented an astonishing discovery—a vaccine that could resist the erosion of the abyss.

This discovery was like a ray of light, illuminating the hope in the hearts of the expedition team.

They decided to devote all their efforts to vaccine research and development in order to completely stop the spread of the abyss.

However, they were unaware that a more complex secret lay hidden behind this vaccine.

The laboratory was dimly lit and mysterious.

Cynthia's research notes were spread out on the table, each page densely filled with her thoughts and discoveries.

Lena, the bioengineer in the expedition, is intently studying these notes.

Her gaze was sometimes serious, and sometimes sparkling with excitement.

"Lena, did you find anything?" David's voice came from the doorway, tinged with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

Lena looked up at David, a slight smile on her face.

“David, I have discovered a key ingredient in the vaccine—a quantum state fragment of a chaotic pronucleus.”

David was taken aback by what he heard, and then frowned.

"The Chaos Primal Core? Isn't that the legendary mysterious substance that can cause chaos in the universe? Is it really safe to use it to make a vaccine?"

Lena nodded, her expression turning serious.

"Yes, the chaotic protonucleus is indeed very dangerous. However, Cynthia mentioned in her notes that she discovered that quantum state fragments of the chaotic protonucleus can generate an energy field that resists the abyss under certain conditions. This energy field can protect organisms from the abyss's corruption."

David pondered for a moment, then nodded.

“Alright, since Cynthia has made this discovery, we should trust her. But, Lena, you must be careful and ensure the safety of the vaccine.”

Lena nodded, then buried herself back in her research.

After several days of hard work, she finally succeeded in developing the vaccine.

The vaccine appears as a pale blue liquid, emitting a faint glow, as if it contains some kind of mysterious power.

The expedition members all received the vaccine, hoping to resist the abyss's corruption and protect the peace of this universe.

However, they were unaware that an unprecedented crisis was quietly brewing.

Shortly after receiving the vaccine, the expedition members began to experience a strange change.

They found themselves seemingly able to perceive two worlds simultaneously—the real world and a mirror world.

This perception surprised and confused them; they didn't know whether the change was good or bad.

Lena was one of the first to notice this change.

She stood in the laboratory, staring at herself in the mirror, and suddenly felt dizzy.

She seemed to see her reflection in the mirror come to life, mimicking her own movements.

But that movement also carried a strange sense of distortion and incoordination.

"Lena, what's wrong?" David's voice came again as he looked at Lena with concern.

Lena shook her head, trying to clear her mind.

"I think I can sense the mirror world."

David was taken aback by what he heard, and then showed a surprised expression.

"A mirror world? You mean, you can perceive both the real world and a mirror world simultaneously?"

Lena nodded, her eyes filled with confusion and unease.

"Yes, I don't know what's going on. But I can feel that sense of division, and it makes me very uncomfortable."

David paused for a moment, then said, "Lena, we need to find a way to solve this problem. This sense of division could have a serious impact on our perception."

Lena nodded, then returned to her research.

She is trying to find out why vaccines cause cognitive dissonance and to find solutions.

However, the process proved far more complex than she had imagined. As time went on, the expedition members gradually adapted to this sense of division.

They learned to switch their perception between the real world and the mirror world, and even began to explore the mysteries of the mirror world.

However, this adaptation did not bring true peace; instead, it plunged them into deeper confusion and unease.

During her research, Lena discovered that fragments of chaotic prokaryotic quantum states in the vaccine triggered an unknown reaction in the recipients.

This response causes a split in the recipient's cognitive dimensions, enabling them to perceive both the real world and the mirror world simultaneously.

However, Lena was unaware of the consequences of this splitting effect.

Just when Lena was in trouble, an amazing discovery rekindled her hope.

She discovered that she could sense a peculiar energy field in the mirror world, a field completely different from the energy field of the abyss, as if it contained some kind of pure and powerful force.

Lena realized that this energy field might be the key to solving the splitting effect.

She decided to use her bioengineering skills to try to build a device in the mirror world that could stabilize the energy field in order to control the splitting effect.

After several days of effort, Lena finally succeeded in constructing a device called the "Mirror Vaccine" in the Mirror World.

This device can stabilize the energy field and prevent further fragmentation of the recipient's cognitive dimensions.

However, Lena also knew that this was only a temporary solution, and that more in-depth research was needed to completely resolve the splitting effect.

Just as Lena was preparing to bring the mirror vaccine back to the real world for testing, an unexpected discovery shocked her.

In the mirror world, she saw a pure white city that exuded a mysterious and solemn aura, as if it had been built by some unknown force.

Lena gazed at the city, a strange sense of awe and curiosity welling up inside her.

She didn't know when the city appeared, nor who built it.

However, she could sense that pure and powerful force emanating from the city, influencing every corner of the mirror world.

Lena realized that the city might have some mysterious connection with the observer.

She decided to temporarily set aside her research on the mirror vaccine and instead explore the mysteries of the city.

She believed that she might find a real solution to the divisive effects within this city.

Lena cautiously approached the city.

She discovered that the city's entrance was covered by a thin layer of ice crystals, as if protecting the city from external disturbances.

Lena tried to melt the ice crystal with her own power, but the ice crystal was unusually solid, seemingly containing some unknown power.

Just when Lena felt helpless, she suddenly remembered a special ability she possessed—absolute zero.

She tried to concentrate her power into one point and then release it suddenly.

A flash of cold light appeared, and the ice crystals were instantly frozen even more solidly, then cracked open with a "crack".

Lena took the opportunity to slip into the city.

She found the city deserted, but the buildings were exceptionally beautiful and magnificent.

Each building radiated a soft light, as if it were constructed from some unknown material.

Lena wanders through the city, trying to find clues or information related to it.

However, just as she was about to leave the city, an unexpected discovery made her stop in her tracks.

She discovered an ancient altar in a corner of the city, on which sat a gem that shimmered with a mysterious light.

Lena stared at the gem, a strange impulse welling up inside her.

She didn't know what the gemstone was or what its purpose was.

However, she could sense a pure and powerful force within the gemstone, a force very similar to the energy field she perceived in the mirror world.

Lena decided to take the gem with her, believing it might be closely related to resolving the splitting effect.

She carefully put the gem away and then left the city.

Upon returning to the real world, Lena immediately began her research on the gem.

She discovered that the gemstone contained an unknown quantum energy that could produce a peculiar resonance effect with the quantum state fragments of the chaotic proto-nucleus.

Lena realized that this resonance effect might be the key to resolving the splitting effect.

She tried channeling the energy from the gemstone into the mirror vaccine and found that the vaccine's stability was significantly improved.

After receiving the vaccine, recipients no longer experience that intense sense of separation, but are able to switch their perception between the real world and the mirror world more naturally.

Lena's success thrilled the expedition members.

They finally found a way to resolve the divisive effect and rekindled their hope for the future.

However, they did not realize that this crisis was just the tip of the iceberg of the abyss's encroachment, and that more unknown dangers awaited them to discover and confront.

In the days that followed, Lena continued to delve deeper into the relationship between the gem and the mirror vaccine, attempting to find a more comprehensive solution.

Meanwhile, the expedition members began exploring the mysteries of the mirror world, hoping to discover more secrets about the abyss and the observer.

As time went on, they gradually discovered that the mirror world was not a simple reflection, but a parallel universe that was intertwined with and influenced the real world.

In this universe, they discovered many unknown creatures and phenomena, and also encountered many unprecedented challenges and crises.

However, it is precisely these challenges and crises that have made them more united and stronger.

They believe that as long as they join hands and forge ahead, they will surely be able to safeguard the peace and tranquility under this starry sky.

Behind all this, the connection between the pure white city and the observer gradually comes to light.

Lena discovered that the architectural style of the city was very similar to that of the Observer's technology, and she even found the Observer's logo in a corner of the city.

This made her even more convinced that the city had a close relationship with the observer.

Lena decides to re-enter the Mirror World to explore the mysteries of that city.

She believed that in this city, she might find the true connection between the observer and the abyss, and the ultimate solution to this crisis.

However, when she approached the city again, she found that the city entrance had been blocked by a thick layer of ice crystals.

She tried to melt the ice crystals with her own power, but found that the ice crystals were unusually solid, as if they contained some unknown power.

Lena realized that the city might be protected by some unknown force, and outsiders were no longer allowed to enter.

She didn't know why this was for, nor what secrets this city held.
