Chapter 37 Experiment
Author: Carp Immortal
"Before we start the experiment, I have a question." Wen Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa, raised his hand.
Phaethon leaned lightly on the table. The unknown future made her a little irritated, "Let me say it first. You are not qualified to negotiate terms with me now. I will only talk to him."
"I only have a small request - considering that I may be in an irreversible situation, including death, after this experiment, I propose to have a decapitation meal."
"." Phaethon thought for a while, "Yes. This is the most basic humanistic concern, and I can promise you."
She picked up a red phone on the table: "What do you want to eat?"
"I want to eat Golden Arches, 15 chicken nuggets with two packets of Sichuan spicy sauce, two packets of sweet and sour sauce; preserved egg and lean meat porridge with ice; cola, black tea, and grape juice are mixed in a ratio of 1:1:1, less ice. In addition,
.I also want a double-layered chicken drumstick, no lettuce, no salad dressing, 4 slices of tomatoes, and whole wheat bread for the bottom crust.”
Phaethon said into the microphone: "Order him a Golden Arches. 15 chicken nuggets, with two packets of Sichuan spicy sauce and two packets of sweet and sour sauce; a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge with ice; Coke, black tea, grape juice
Mix it into a cup according to 1:1:1, with less ice. One double-layered chicken drumstick, no lettuce, no salad dressing, 4 slices of tomatoes, and whole wheat bread for the crust below."
Without finishing a word, Phaethon repeated his request and asked him: "Do you want anything else?"
"Thank you. No need."
"That's it." Phaethon hung up the phone, "I know what you want to do, is this some kind of code word? The Golden Arches in Las Vegas is your intelligence station? Very good
Strategy. You made a request that I can't refuse, because I will satisfy your request for a meal no matter what."
"Why?" Wen Yuan asked her.
"I have no obligation to answer you, but it doesn't hurt to tell you - because of karma, I must meet your last request before death, because this is the most basic humanistic care and a naturally established 'oath'. At the same time,
,Boy, while you are eating deprivation, you have also created karma for yourself. Now, I am afraid you must die."
"I don't think so."
"Really? Let's wait and see." After saying that, he looked at Shangluo, "I have fulfilled his last request, and I have fulfilled all the obligations of a 'law enforcer'. Now, it is your turn to enforce our
The agreement between us - how should we take this elixir?"
"I don't know." Shangluo spread his hands, "I really don't know."
Phaethon waved the spear with one hand, and the heavy spear made a faint sound of breaking the wind. The spear stopped steadily in front of Shangluo: "You made an oath, you promised to analyze this furnace of 'elixir' for us, and provide you with whatever you can."
's help. If you have a clear conscience, hold it, I need to know if you're lying."
"Can this thing read minds?"
"The Spear of the Sun is the witness and executor of the oath. Swearing on it is equivalent to swearing on the Great Styx. So it can read out the parts related to the oath. Hold it, and I will know whether you have violated the oath -
—But don’t worry, this process is encrypted, I won’t know the specific content, I will only know whether you have violated the agreement.”
She held the tail of the spear with one hand, and the spear tip stretched out several meters away and stopped motionless in front of Shangluo. Shangluo stretched out his hand to hold the spear tip, and the spear tip was still as stable as being fixed in space.
However, what surprised him was that the seemingly sharp spear tip did not cut his fingers. There seemed to be an inexplicable sound coming from his fingertips - a quiet sound of tide. One after another, there was a rustling sound coming from his fingertips.
shore.
"Okay." Phaethon withdrew the spear from his hand, "You really don't know. So why did your father take a fancy to your pot of elixir? You don't even know what you are doing. Apollonia
, let me confirm again, you don’t know either?”
[I don’t know.] Apollonia answered.
"Okay, it seems I can only activate the backup plan."
She picked up the red phone and said, "Let the volunteers come in."
Three bald men walked in immediately outside the door. They were all Greeks in black suits and black sunglasses. Their personal characteristics had been erased as much as possible, and their appearance was very economical on the "cost of memory". Their walking pace was also faster.
Resolute, completely different from those Mayans who temporarily put on suits.
"Then, you are all voluntarily participating in the alchemy experiment. The content of the experiment is to take these 'elixirs'. I promise you that no matter what happens in the experiment, I will be responsible for restoring everything to its original state. But what may happen in the process
There is nothing I can do to help you avoid the pain. I hope you are mentally prepared."
"Yes, we are all ready." The three of them answered together with their hands behind their backs.
"Are you all voluntary? You voluntarily participate in the experiment and are willing to abide by the above rules. If you are willing, you will swear an oath to the Great Styx."
The three of them took the oath without hesitation.
"Okay." Phaethon, who was sitting Qianqian, stood up. The spear handle fell to the ground, and she stood there holding the spear shaft and closed her eyes, "I swear."
After a few seconds, she opened her eyes: "Then, let's start the experiment."
The cauldron was placed on the desk. She pointed at the cauldron with the tip of her spear: "Thales, you eat first."
"Understood." The first one on the left, the bald man named "Tales" came up. The "elixir" in the furnace was actually a pile of blood-red mineral mud, but he picked it up with both hands.
He swallowed it in one gulp without hesitation, without even drinking water.
"Well!!!"
Almost instantly, Thales grabbed his own throat. His lips turned purple at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his eyes were so bloodshot that they almost burst out. Blood flowed from his nostrils first, then from the corners of his mouth, eyes, and finally
It was an ear hole. But he was still holding on to the table and had not fallen down yet, but blood was already dripping from his face and dripping on the table.
"Hold it!" Phaethon immediately handed over the spear to his hand, "Hold the tip of the spear!"
Thales's hand twitched, but he struggled to lift it. As if he had used all his strength, he suddenly raised his shoulder, letting his limp right hand fall on the tip of the Spear of the Sun.
In an instant, golden light burst out. Seeing similar golden light for the third time, Shangluo could already look directly at the center of the light. He saw a figure standing upright twitchingly, returning to the original state in a weird posture like "rewinding"
The dark red object came out of his mouth and returned to the cauldron, even the blood stains on the table were taken away.
The bald man named Thales returned to normal. Although his facial expression was still distorted by pain, he came back to life.
"Next." Phaethon retracted the spear tip and instructed the next volunteer to conduct a control experiment.
