Poseidon in Tomorrow's Ark

"Is that so?" Muirseth nodded and decided not to ask any more questions. After all, Muirseth had just said that Originium solution of that purity could not be a simple contact infection and could appear in the body.

So it is already very obvious how this Originium solution appeared in the ghost shark's body. Is there any need to continue asking further questions?

"Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered something." Xiyue came out with a pot of noodles and put it on the table, "Why didn't I see Skadi coming with you."

"Or did you come here without telling Skadi?"

"No, no." Ghost Shark walked to the dining table with a cane and sat down with some difficulty. "The reason why Skadi didn't come was because Kal'tsit sent her somewhere to find something for her?"

"Looking for something?" Xiyue pulled out a stool and sat down.

Ghost Shark nodded: "Yeah, I don't know what you're looking for."

"But I also want to thank Dr. Kal'tsit. If she hadn't sent Skadi away, she wouldn't have had the chance to come."

However, when the ghost shark looked around, it found that even here, there were more wolves than meat.

From this perspective, it seems better to let Skadi come along. At least it will be easier for her to reach a more harmonious united front with Skadi.

After all, she and Skadi were former comrades-in-arms, which is at least better than the current situation where she and Muirseth are not on good terms with each other.

---------------

"Well, Muirseth, are you going out?" Xiyue sat on the sofa, looking at Muirseth who put on his coat and seemed ready to go out.

"Yeah." Muirseth nodded, "I haven't really visited Longmen yet. I plan to go out and have a look by myself."

Xiyue nodded after hearing this: "Well, then be careful on the road."

"Okay~" Muirseth chuckled, nodded, and then walked out of the room.

After Muerseth left the house, he took out his phone and opened the map: "Let me see~"

—————Longmen Taikoo Plaza——————

"Let me see where that store is?" Muerseth came to the square and looked at the map on his mobile phone. He looked left and right when he arrived at the square.

There was already a manifold that had transformed into the appearance of Xiyue beside Muerseth. Muerseth didn't want to buy those finished products. If he wanted to buy any, he would definitely go to a custom-made shop.

That's why Muirseth had to let the manifold transform into Xiyue's appearance in advance and follow him. Otherwise, it would be too strange if a person suddenly appeared.

"Hmm? Isn't this Miss Xiyue? How come you have time to come out and walk around?"

When he heard someone calling Xiyue's name, Muirseth's heart suddenly jumped. Miss Xiyue is really famous here. How come he can meet her on the street?

"What are you doing here? Shopping?" Shi Huaiya walked out of the crowd in her casual clothes. "Do you want me to show you around?"

Shi Huaiya was not out on patrol today, and that was not her job. She came out today mainly because she heard Chen Huijie say that Commander Wei intended to rebuild the slums and build new factory and commercial areas.

So she came to Taikoo Plaza today to talk to several shops under her name to see if they would be willing to go there to support the new commercial district.

Of course, Shi Huaiya also took into consideration that after the new construction is completed, most of the people living there will be the original poor, so the ones who came to negotiate were only the original few grain wholesale merchants, to see if they were willing to allocate a few people to open stores there.

Fortunately, the situation is going smoothly. They all said that as long as the public security there can be guaranteed, they will consider sending people there to open stores.

However, Shi Huaiya was a little surprised to see Xiyue as soon as she came out. After all, apart from accompanying that group of penguin logistics people and playing around everywhere, Xiyue usually stayed at home or went shopping for groceries. It seemed that Xiyue had never been to a place like Pacific Plaza.

"Miss, I'm afraid you have made a mistake." Muirseth looked at Shi Huaiya in front of him.

"Hmm?" Shi Huaiya looked at Muir Seth strangely, "Miss, who are you?"

"Hello, my name is Muerseth, um, I can be considered Xiyue's family member." Muerseth explained briefly to Shi Huaiya, and pointed to the flow next to him, "And she is not Xiyue, but my, um, Originium Skill."

"Oh~ nice to meet you, Miss Muirseth." Shi Huaiya nodded, "My name is Beatrix Shi Huaiya, you can just call me Shi Huaiya in normal situations."

Muir Seth nodded: "Okay, Miss Shi Huaiya."

"Yeah." After saying hello, Shi Huaiya took a closer look at Xiyue beside him and found that the Xiyue in front of him did not have the gentle and elegant feeling of the previous Xiyue.

Shi Huaiya has always expressed her surprise at Xiyue joining Penguin Logistics, not because of anything else, but simply because their temperaments don't match.

To be honest, apart from the idol Sora and Croissant who looks like a profiteer at first glance, the other two people in Penguin Logistics all have a sense of being restless.

Moreover, Penguin Logistics has been causing trouble for so long that they have already chosen to use filters, so even if it is Kong or Croissant, they have actually been labeled as restless.

But Miss Xiyue is the kind of person that, even if you look at her through a filter, you would feel that she is not the kind of person who would cause trouble?

Even though Miss Xiyue had been detained by the Guards Bureau for speeding and running red lights, it seemed like she must have been speeding because of something urgent, or maybe the person speeding was not her, but someone else from Penguin Logistics who was following her.

Anyway, Xiyue gives people the feeling that she can appear in any upper-class society without any sense of incongruity, but appearing in a company like Penguin Logistics with so many problems is very problematic. I really feel that something is wrong.

"Originium technique, water clone?" Shi Huaiya observed the "manifold" in front of her. She had seen Xiyue perform this lifelike water clone technique several times, but there would be a more obvious reflection.

There is none in front of me, but it may also be that Xiyue has devoted more attention to medical aspects, so she has not studied the techniques in this area.

And Muirseth said that Xi Jieyue was her family member. After thinking about it, Shi Huaiya felt that there should be no problem. Miss Xiyue also had the skill of water clone, which should be the Originium skill passed down from generation to generation.

"So." Shi Huaiya looked at Muirseth, "What are you doing here, Miss Muirseth?"

"Yes. I came to buy some clothes for Xiyue." Muirseth smiled. "Xiyue wears the same black windbreaker all day long. Although it looks good, it's the New Year, so she should change it."

"That's true." Shi Huaiya nodded. Come to think of it, every time she saw Xiyue, Xiyue seemed to be wearing the same windbreaker. It was indeed pleasing to the eye and suitable for her, but it was not a good thing to wear it all the time. She had to change into a new one after all.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore, Miss Muirseth." Shi Huaiya looked at Muirseth, "I hope you have a smooth day today."

Muir Seth nodded: "Ms. Shi Huaiya is the same."

After Muirseth finished speaking, he left with Manifold and headed towards the mall.

"Yeah." Shi Huaiya looked at Muerseth who was leaving, "That's true. It's not good for Xiyue to keep wearing that outfit. Hmm..."

Although I don't know what size Miss Xi is. Now people are choosing New Year gifts for Miss Xiyue, Shi Huaiya can't interfere.

"Let the people at the mall keep an eye out for which store Miss Muirseth went to, and ask her then."

------------

Muirseth carried a large bag of things back to the downstairs of Penguin Logistics. Of course, there were no clothes in it. This time she only ordered a few styles. The finished products would take a few days.

The things he had on hand now were all specialties of Yan Country, which he would take back later. In addition, Muirseth planned to see if he could bring Ifrit from Rhodes Island to Lungmen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

After all, it is not a good idea to let Ifrit stay in Rhodes Island all the time. Children need to go out and play, and it happens to be the Longmen New Year, so there are activities everywhere.

As for the Fire Demon? Anyway, Xiyue was next to him, and Muerseth didn't believe that the Fire Demon would dare to come out and make a presence.

It was even said that Muerseth really hoped that the Fire Demon would come out at this time to make his presence felt, so that Eve might be able to get rid of the Fire Demon.

Chapter 123: Balrog

"I'm back~" Muerseth pushed open the door and walked into the hall, "What a nice smell, what are you frying?"

Muerseth looked towards the kitchen and asked curiously at Xiyue who was frying something.

"Meatballs." Xiyue turned her head and looked at Muerseth, "Would you like one?"

Xiyue pointed to the meatballs that were freshly fried and still emitting a little heat: "It's just been fried now, it's so crispy."

"Is that all right?" Muirseth walked into the kitchen. "It's not lunch time yet."

"Look behind you." Xiyue picked up the fried meatballs from the frying pan and poured them into a basin beside her. "Those guys from Angel of Power were already eating the first batch when it came out of the pan."

Hearing Xiyue say this, Muirseth didn't bother to look back. He decisively picked up a bowl, scooped out a few still hot ones from the basin, and slipped out of the kitchen.

"A bunch of gluttons." Xiyue shook her head helplessly, but food is made for people to eat, so Xiyue wouldn't say anything more.

-----------

After lunch, everyone was free again. Muirseth came over and poked Xiyue's hand.

Xiyue turned her head and looked at Muerseth: "What's wrong?"

"I plan to go back to Rhode Island this afternoon."

"Hmm?" Xiyue looked at Muerseth strangely, "Are you planning to go back so early?"

"No, there are still a few days until the time I booked. It won't be that fast." Muerseth pretended to be angry and looked at Xiyue, "I was thinking about whether I could bring Eve to Longmen."

"Evefu?" Xiyue was stunned for a moment when she heard the name, but then she understood, "Oh, it should be Ifrit, right?"

"That child is called Ifrit, and her situation is... a little special." Muerseth hesitated for a moment and looked at Xiyue, "If possible, if there is any trouble, can you trouble Miss Xiyue to help?"

"Trouble, Flame Demon?" Xiyue nodded. It was just a trouble like this. If the Flame Demon dared to come out, she should be able to solve it easily.

As for why the fire demon must come out, Xiyue has no way to directly run into the other person's consciousness and perform surgery on him.

The technology in this area of ​​the system is incredibly expensive, and even with all the money Xiyue has accumulated so far, she still cannot afford it.

According to Xiyue's guess, it was probably because her own personality or soul was too powerful, which made it extremely expensive to ensure the safety of the patient and let her enter other people's consciousness to solve the problem and then get out safely.

After all, she went to perform surgery, not to harm anyone. If she just went in and killed the patient before she could start any surgery, there would be no way to complain.

As for his own research, he didn't even have a theory about Xiyue. The only thing on his body that was related to consciousness was the bracelet that served as a teaching tool and connected the consciousness to the classroom.

And that was that the main party created a dream and then summoned the consciousness of the other side. Even if the consciousness was destroyed in that dream, only a small wisp of consciousness was destroyed, and there was no way to use this bracelet as a surgical method.

Even the dream became extra stable because she was the main subject. This was why Elini and Jessica were able to take classes for a whole night, while for others, it would be good if it could last for a few minutes.

In the original world, the bracelet was a quick and convenient short-term communication device used to convey information, not a thing to be used in class.

"Just call the child over." Xiyue looked at Muerseth, "There won't be any trouble, as long as the child doesn't make trouble."

"Yeah." Muirseth nodded, "Don't worry, Eve is a well-behaved child... Yeah, probably."

"Ha, if you say so, it is so." Xiyue smiled and finally went back to watching TV.

—————Rhode Island Medical Department——————

"Why do you need another injection?" Ifrit reluctantly stretched out his hand and let Hemer draw a tube of blood from his arm. "Didn't we just draw blood yesterday?"

"Because your condition is now very abnormal." Hemer pushed his glasses, "The concentration of Originium in your blood has become extremely stable recently, and even has a downward trend."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Ifrit scratched her head. Although she didn't know much about medical treatment, according to normal speaking, isn't it a good thing that her condition has become stable?

"This change came too suddenly, without any warning." Hemer put the blood sample in a box beside him and looked at Ifrit with worry in his tone. "Also, some infected people have experienced a sudden stable period, but their condition suddenly worsens rapidly."

"I wouldn't be like that." Ifrit looked at Humer, "I really feel much better recently. I don't have those flaming visions anymore, and that fat guy doesn't talk anymore."

"I understand." Hemer nodded, still with deep worry between his brows. When he learned that Ifrit's condition had become stable and even had a downward trend, Hemer was extremely happy at first.

This might be because their treatment was finally starting to work, but after a brief moment of excitement, Hemer became worried because this plateau or even decline came too suddenly.

After checking some information, Hemer learned that there were indeed very few cases among the infected, with sudden periods of flatness and decline, just like Ifrit's current situation.

Patients at this stage may even feel that there is nothing wrong with their bodies, which is completely different from their previous condition.

But this is only temporary, lasting as long as a week or as short as a few days. The blood Originium concentration that originally seemed to be decreasing will suddenly increase, accompanied by an acute attack of mineral disease, just like the last breath of a seriously ill patient.

"I hope I'm just overthinking..." Hemer looked at Ifrit who was playing video games in front of him, "I hope it's really just because of our treatment."

Hemer walked out of the ward carrying the box. He took out his cell phone from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and dialed the number. The phone rang for a while before being connected.

"Hey, what's going on?"

"Doctor Kal'tsit, are you free? If so, could you come to the medical department? Ifrit's condition seems a little strange, I'd like to ask for your advice."

"Okay, I understand. I'll be right there."

"Okay, then after I send the blood sample for testing, we'll meet in Ifrit's ward, okay?"

---------------

"How is it?" Hemer looked at Kal'tsit nervously, "Are there any problems?"

"From the report, there is no problem at present." Kal'tsit looked at the report and then handed it to Hemer. "Ifrit's body is indeed very healthy at the moment. It is not the so-called false stable period."

"Is that so?" Hemer nodded after taking the report, still with some doubts in his mind. "But Ifrit's previous condition was not very good. Why did it suddenly decline?"

"..." Kal'tsit took a look at Ifrit's previous reports. Every time Ifrit's blood was tested, the concentration of Originium did increase slightly. Only in the most recent few reports did the concentration of Originium in Ifrit's blood return to a stable state.

The two more recent reports showed a downward trend in Ifrit's blood concentration. If it weren't for the decline given in these two reports, perhaps the situation would be simpler.

For an infected person like Ifrit, it is already extremely difficult for the blood source stone concentration to enter a stable period, let alone a decreasing state.

It was normal for Hemer to suspect that something was wrong with Ifrit, but after several rounds of tests, Kal'tsit confirmed that Ifrit was now in a healthy state and not in a false stable period.

"..." Kal'tsit looked at the report and suddenly noticed the time given on the report. "The flat trend that began to appear in the test on December 12 last year?"

"Well, what's wrong?" Hemer nodded. "Originally, I would be happy if there were a few days of a flat trend, but as more and more reports of a flat trend appear, and even a downward trend appears, I really can't rest assured."

Kal'tsit nodded. If it was at this point in time, then she probably guessed what was going on.

"Oh, Dr. Kelsey is here too." Muirseth suddenly appeared from the door and looked at the three of them. "Hey, did you miss me?"

"Well, Muirseth?" Hemer turned his head and looked at Muirseth who suddenly appeared. "Are you back from Longmen? Are you ready to go back to Columbia?"

"No, not so fast." Muirseth shook his head, and then, like a magic trick, he waved his hand and several tickets to the amusement park appeared in his hand, "I'm here to invite Eve to go to Longmen~"

"Going out to play?!" When Ifrit heard about going out to play, he immediately jumped up from the bed, "Really?"
