Chapter 616 Conversation With The Old Man
The wood burned, crackling and sputtering.
Jiang You looked at the silver-haired professor.
His face was haggard, his face was full of scratches left by the years, and the fatigue between his brows and eyes was visible to the naked eye.
But strangely, Jiang You didn't smell blood on him, nor did he see any internal injuries.
The rest of the team originally thought that Professor Gu just lacked physical strength, or was simply too old and too exhausted from all the effort.
Seeing Jiang You asking many times, they also paid attention to each other's status.
"Professor, let me check it for you."
The medics in the team stepped forward.
After some inspection, she even activated her own ability to heal.
"General Jiang, nothing unusual was found." She shook her head.
"I told you I'm fine, you all just rest."
The crowd fell silent, except for Jiang You who looked at Professor Gu from time to time.
After a while, he smiled and shook his head, "General Jiang, let's go over there and have a chat?"
"good."
The two of them put some distance between themselves and the team.
Jiang You was curious, what are you going to talk about now, when you have to avoid people?
"General Jiang, you have been in close contact with that god. Do you feel anything strange in your body?"
Professor Gu asked.
"That guy may have left something in my body." Jiang You did not deny it. "If I don't help him remove the seal, I probably won't be able to remove it. No, even if I help him, it won't necessarily be anything by then. Condition."
"Being marked by the gods?" Professor Gu's expression became more serious, "This is no small matter."
"Fortunately, this mark doesn't have much impact on me."
Even if you can't remove the root, you can still use Executioner's Flame to remove the surface.
In the future, as we move up the ranks, we will be able to find a solution sooner or later.
Jiang You remains optimistic.
Professor Gu didn't know this, and there was a hint of sadness on his face, "God's pollution cannot be underestimated. You need to be careful. After you go back, you must report this aspect to the Night Patrol Department and ask them to start research."
"Yes, I will." Jiang You nodded.
Professor Gu hesitated for a moment and took out a cylindrical crystal about the length of his thumb from his pocket.
"professor?"
"This contains my research results over the years. Take them back to the institute."
"You." Jiang You was stunned.
"You are the strongest, and you are the current general. If you are placed on your body, the security of information retention is much stronger than mine." He explained.
"Okay... okay." Jiang You pursed his lips, "You look like this, it makes people feel like..."
"Explain your last words? Then you can understand it that way." Professor Gu smiled, "After all, I do not have much time left, and the divine aura pollution has spread in my body."
"Professor Gu?!" Jiang You was shocked.
No wonder he felt something was wrong with the other party, but he couldn't express it clearly.
Gu Sheng smiled and asked, "Do you have any cigarettes?"
have.
Jiang You rummaged through the storage equipment and took it out.
"No electronic ones."
"Well, I'll look for it again." Jiang You rummaged around and found a box of cigarettes.
"Special offer?" Professor Gu picked up one, lit it and took a deep breath, "Sure enough, it still tastes like this."
He smiled and said, "The night watchman is afraid that we old men will get into trouble when we smoke. The tobacco in it is all specially bred and is not interesting at all."
This old man is quite picky.
Jiang You also threw a piece of, um, cigarette candy into his mouth.
Hiss and hiss for a few mouthfuls.
The old man's complexion actually looked better than if he had taken the nutrient solution.
"You know I have been studying gods these past few years."
He spoke slowly.
"The breath left by the gods is a natural source of pollution. Trees, stones, rivers... everything can be infected and assimilated."
"This is an indescribable superior aura. When it comes to alien species, we can still divide them into levels one, two, three, four, and five. But when it comes to gods, we don't even know how to define their strength."
A circle of smoke was exhaled from his mouth and drifted forward.
The old man shook his head gently, "Confronting the gods may be something that only an extraordinary eighth-level or even ninth-level civilization can do. But what we can do is work hard to survive."
"During my research, I discovered that divine contamination is very interesting. It's like cancer cells."
"Attack, invade, assimilate, and multiply until the person or thing is completely assimilated."
"I'm always looking for ways to resist this erosion."
As he spoke, he rolled up his right sleeve.
Turning the palm upward, one could see that the veins were glowing with an abnormal white light, as if they were breathing on their own, vibrating at a strange frequency.
He then rolled up his other arm.
The veins in this arm were filled with strong black color, and the smell of pollution was obvious.
Breathing divinely and polluting at the same time? ?
Jiang You was stunned.
"Just like the hunting operation you mentioned, the Night Watch Division relies on strong pollution to kill the gods." The old man explained, "I have participated in this idea and think it is feasible."
"I don't have such good conditions in the abyss, so I can only make do. Maybe I will lose control and die directly, or maybe I can survive for a while."
"Now it seems that it has almost reached its limit."
He rolled his sleeves back up again.
"Thanks to the changes in my body, I am still sensitive to the aura of gods."
He turned his head and looked directly into Jiang You's eyes, "But after you came into contact with Him, I didn't feel a similar aura in you."
"My physique is quite special."
Jiang You replied.
Professor Gu was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "My condition is becoming more and more unstable. Two power systems are fighting in my body."
He pointed to his heart, "I placed a drop of the blood of a high-level alien species here. It was the pollution it provided that allowed me to persist under the invasion of divine energy for so long."
"I don't know what abnormalities will happen to my body after I die, so if you see that I am about to lose my ability to hold on... just give me a break in advance and take the blood from my heart."
"Take this drop of blood, you can use it yourself, or you can take it back to the Night Patrol Department for study."
The old man's silver hair was blown by the cold wind, and he grabbed Jiang You's wrist.
"Remember, never overestimate your own power and underestimate the existence of gods."
"No matter how potential and special human beings are, they cannot hide the fact that we are currently weak."
"A baby with an IQ of 500 will never be able to escape in the hands of a disabled adult."
"Professor Gu." Jiang You was slightly moved.
The two of them counted the seconds, and he nodded solemnly, "I will remember it."
"Okay." Professor Gu smiled and released his palm.
"Perhaps I can insist on returning to Dazhou. Anyway, I should explain my funeral arrangements in advance, just in case. Survival is not easy, so I have to be more careful."
"Go back, it's time to rest."
Return to the team.
The flames were burning as always, and several team members had chosen to sleep, while others were on night watch.
Seeing the two returning, Meng Yan looked at them a few more times without asking anything.
After placing the special cylindrical crystal, Jiang You sat by the fire.
The old man looked increasingly tired, so he lay down in his sleeping bag and closed his eyes to rest.
It's just that the two energies in the body are fighting, and I don't know how long it will take before I can fall asleep.
Time passed quietly.
While Jiang You was in a daze, a slender white palm stretched out from the side and poked the back of the young man's hand.
Yu Yanxi was a little confused and seemed to be asking if something happened.
Jiang You shook his head, lying back and looking at the eternal sky in the abyss.
More than once, he felt that the people in Da Zhou were miserable.
Now I feel that the development of a weak civilization is like walking barefoot in a jungle full of thorns.
Some of the predecessors fell in the middle, and some of the descendants stepped over his corpse.
Explore carefully.
It was suffering with blood and tears.
