Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 140 Bai Yuekui: I will take action!

"I don't know much about Number Nineteen either. I only know that he was injected with Miracle K and Angel Potion at the Nirvana Nursing Home, but somehow he escaped from Nirvana and merged with the Earth Vine, becoming a special eco-chimera."

At this point, Bai Yuetian's expression became serious.

Bioelectric currents surged between his nerve cells, and the harrowing scene of confronting Number Nineteen gradually surfaced from the depths of his mind, vividly replaying itself.

"After becoming an eco-chimera, he lost his original memories, but retained his kind nature."

"Later, a series of events occurred. He was attacked by Gray's men and fell into the Hisakawa Nuclear Power Plant. He absorbed radiation in the plant and underwent a transformation. After that, he devoted himself to ecology and did several earth-shattering things."

Bai Yuetian sighed softly.

He lamented, "Yue Kui and I had the opportunity to bring him into the human camp back then, but we didn't seize it, nor did we realize how precious that opportunity was for humanity."

Bai Jingyu rested his chin on his hand, lost in thought.

A few seconds later, he asked, "So, if I don't interfere with the birth and development of Number Nineteen, Number Nineteen will become an eco-chimera that is very useful to humans?"

Bai Yuetian was slightly taken aback, then realized what Bai Jingyu was thinking.

He hesitated before saying, "Probably."

"But the process of No. 19 becoming an eco-chimera is very painful, and every eco-chimera has the possibility of falling into the ecosystem. Rather than letting him become an eco-chimera and then trying to win him over, it would be better not to let him become an eco-chimera in the first place."

"To be on the safe side, this is what I think."

Bai Yuetian said in a low voice.

Humanity's chances of winning have increased if we can prevent Number Nineteen from becoming an eco-chimera.

He felt that Bai Jingyu's idea was a bit dangerous. If he caused No. 19 to fall into the ecosystem again, he would end up losing more than he gained.

"I will consider your opinion," Bai Jingyu nodded.

Just then, a sound came from outside the door.

"Don't worry about his opinion. Let No. 19 become an ecological chimera. We need him."

Bai Yuekui pushed open the door and walked in.

She wore a mask and a pure white hospital gown, and looked frail.

Bai Yuetian looked surprised.

"Boss, you're awake!" Xia Dou exclaimed in surprise.

Sui Xing quickly stepped forward and took Bai Yuekui's arm: "Boss, how are you feeling now?"

“It’s much better than before,” Bai Yuekui replied.

"After those healthy cells entered my body, they became anchors for the life essence. When I used my potential, the life essence did not dissipate as easily as before."

"The doctors are right."

Bai Yuekui revealed a thoughtful expression.

"If it were just genes at work, my body wouldn't be like this anymore. So all along, it's my life essence that's been forcibly holding my body in place, preventing me from changing shape."

"I just discovered that the life essence can attach to my healthy cells. Although there are not many of these cells, they can serve as the landing site for the life essence, which has a great impact on me."

This treatment was miraculous.

This gave her a deeper understanding of herself.

Looking back now, the intense radiation she encountered in the Mana plane was perhaps something the Mana plane had planned in advance, both to destroy her immortality and to leave her source matter with nowhere to reside.

Bai Yuetian looked puzzled: "When did you wake up? How do you know so much?"

Bai Yuekui did not answer the question, but instead looked around at the faces of each Awakened One: "How have you decided about the tickets? Whoever wants to leave, go ask Mayor Bai for the tickets now."

"No way!" Bai Yuetian's eyes widened. "You were awake then?"

"Hmm." Bai Yuekui shrugged.

“Boss, we’re not leaving,” Suixing replied.

Bai Yuekui nodded.

She said slowly, "A colony may seem safe, but it may not be really safe. You might regret it later. If you choose to stay here, you may be glad you made that decision one day."

"Mmm!" Xia Dou nodded her little head.

Jiu Ge asked, "Boss, I can accelerate cell division in your body, would you like to try it?"

She looked at Bai Yuekui with eager eyes.

"No need," Bai Yuekui waved his hand.

"You can't distinguish which cells are healthy and beneficial to me, and those healthy cells don't have the ability to divide quickly. While having too many of them is good for my body, it will also affect my combat power."

She took a deep breath.

In the apocalypse, you can have nothing, but you must never become a useless person, otherwise you will only suffer a fate worse than death.

"Oh—" Jiu Ge looked disappointed, and the corners of his mouth drooped down.

Other enlightened practitioners came over.

"Boss Bai, you really scared us this time!"

"Jiukawa is so big! Boss, could you show us around? Let us see the old world before the disaster strikes!"

"Boss, are you really feeling better? We were so worried about you!"

Juexing and his companions surrounded Bai Yuekui.

Bai Yuekui comforted them one by one.

She said softly, "Stop arguing, everyone. I'll take you to eat my favorite food later, it's on me."

"Is it even tastier than rice or steel?" Xia Dou's eyes lit up.

Bai Yuekui curled the corners of his lips: "Anyway, I won't let you down."

"Yay!" Xia Dou cheered.

Bai Jingyu stared at this scene. So Yue Kui would grow up to be a beloved leader. If I, in another time and space, could see this, I would surely be very gratified even in the afterlife.

“Moon King,” he said.

Upon hearing his form of address, Bai Yuekui froze for a moment.

Yue Kui—she had heard this voice in her dreams a thousand times, but each time she turned around, she was met either with the end of the dream or with nothingness.

This was the only time this person stood alive and well in front of her.

It's so similar.

Or rather, they are exactly the same.

but
I just can't bring myself to say those two words!
Bai Yuekui was in a state of utter confusion.

"Do you think I should make No. 19 an ecological chimera?" Bai Jingyu asked.

"Hmm." Bai Yuekui tried hard to control his emotions.

She made her tone serious: "The Mana ecosystem possesses a terrifying power that could destroy human civilization in one fell swoop. To defeat it, we must unite all forces that can be united."

"You make a good point," Bai Jingyu nodded.

"I will discuss this carefully with ASH, and eventually create a Number Nineteen who is willing to stand by our side."

"If he fails, Hisakawa is now capable of crushing him."

Bai Jingyu's eyes turned cold.

The antimatter brought back from the interstellar dock is still safely stored.

Number 19, if Jiuchuan can't have you, then Mana Ecology can forget about having you either!
At this moment, Bai Yuekui spoke up: "What if we really fail?"

"I'll take action."

These four simple words reveal an undeniable and intense confidence.

Bai Jingyu was stunned.

He inexplicably felt that Bai Yuekui's slender body had grown taller.

“Take them around Jiuchuan, and put all the expenses on my tab. Don’t try to save me money. Humanity is going to suffer a catastrophe, and money will soon be worthless.”

Bai Jingyu said, "I'm going to the Nirvana Nursing Home to check on things. Miracle K should have been successfully developed."

At his direction, the Nirvana Institute leased a small island off the coast of Hisakawa to conduct research on Miracle K.

On the surface it is a nursing home, but in reality it is a branch of a research institute.

To date, the Nirvana Nursing Home has housed more than 40 elderly people. Apart from one ordinary elderly person used to deal with reporters, the rest of the elderly are volunteers who signed up to participate in human experiments.

"Okay." Bai Yuekui nodded.

Bai Jingyu nodded, turned around and walked out of the room.

Bai Yuekui watched Bai Jingyu leave.

She did not remove her mask until Bai Jingyu's footsteps completely disappeared.

Bai Yuetian placed his hand on Bai Yuekui's head.

Rua~
Hey! It feels amazing!

"Let's go too. This place annoys me. I wouldn't have come here if you weren't getting treatment here!" Bai Yuetian said casually.

Bai Yuekui came to his senses.

She pushed Bai Yuetian's hand away and said calmly, "You heard what he said too?"

"Don't try to save him money. You saved his life, so it's only right that he spends whatever amount of money on you."

"Luxury cars and watches, if he likes them, he buys them. Hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions are just numbers on paper to him, and these numbers will soon lose even that meaning."

"But if you don't buy those things now, you might not be able to buy them anywhere else in the future."

Catastrophe is imminent; all the wealth accumulated by humankind will become worthless paper, only knowledge and the fruits of knowledge will endure.

Xia Dou blinked.

She whispered, "I saw a game console that costs over two thousand yuan."

Sui Xing pouted.

"She can't resist the game consoles. Yesterday, we met one who stared at them through the window for ages, which made us all stay with her. The staff were so nervous, but she just wouldn't buy one."

Bai Yuekui smiled.

She walked over to Xia Dou and patted her on the shoulder: "Buy whatever you like, that's an order, do you hear me?"

A small island rises along the winding coastline, covered by a semi-transparent dome. From a distance, it looks like a pearl, round and full, brought ashore by the tide.

This is the Nirvana Nursing Home.

Its appearance is very similar to Sandy's house in SpongeBob SquarePants, because they both have a hemispherical dome and a door that isolates the air from the inside and outside.

Bai Jingyu stood on the short corridor inside the door.

White mist sprayed from the ceiling, quickly washing over his body and disinfecting any external germs he carried.

A few minutes later, the white mist stopped spewing from the ceiling, and the doors leading into the nursing home opened with a roar, revealing Dr. Jones and his group of assistants.

Ignoring the lingering pungent smell on Bai Jingyu, Jones went straight to Bai Jingyu, bowed ninety degrees, and shook Bai Jingyu's hand.

"Mayor Bai!"

It was a sound with ups and downs, like a tilde, with three notes that went through four turns.

Jones said obsequiously, "Last night I dreamt I heard magpies calling in the branches!"

"Ouch!"

"Oh, it's you who has graced us with your presence!"
