My MCV and Doomsday - Chapter 612

When Jiang Liushi noticed the pained expression on Daylily’s face, he said, “If you are suffering, you can choose not to answer.”

Daylily shook her head in turn and answered, “It’s nothing. It has already happened. As I said earlier, I’m one of the Weapon’s experimental carriers. After the Weapon’s discovery, Genesis spent a long time trying to figure out its purpose. After the virus outbreak, they made a major breakthrough and learned that the Weapon had to be planted into a human being’s brain. However, the Weapon was designed for extraterrestrial beings, so it was difficult for humans to adapt to it. If any ordinary human tries to merge with it, they’ll die on the spot.”

“Eh? What?” Jiang Liushi was stunned as in his brain had already integrated with a superweapon. Compared to Starseed, the battle suits were way inferior. Evidently, Starseed was the most challenging in regards to compatibility, and consequently, the danger was the greatest.

Surprisingly, Jiang Liushi was not only alive, but he was also leading a good life. When his metal energy integrated with Starseed, he had not felt any discomfort nor were there any aftereffects.

After Daylily’s explanation, Jiang Liushi felt kind of lucky, but also scared. Were he not a compatible host for Starseed, he would have died.

“What do you mean? Can anyone stay alive after being planted with the so-called Weapon?” asked Jiang Liushi.

“Yes, theoretically it’s true…it is also possible that someone can be a perfect match for the Weapons, but the probability is minuscule,” replied Daylily.

Then, she added, “It’s a real pity. Genesis had found many experimental carriers, but none of them was suitable.”

“Really? You are still alive, aren’t you? Didn’t they test you?” Jiang Liushi asked in confusion.

Daylily shook her head and said, “Yes, I also experienced the test, and I am still alive. However, I could not merge with the Weapon, so they changed me forcefully… You should know that before allowing me to try, many experimental carriers had died. But they made a lot of contributions. According to their mental wave data monitored by the Genesis, we studied what kind of mental wave may be possible to match with the Weapon. Then, they thought of changing the experimental carriers’ mental waves to let them adapt to the weapon. After analyzing the final data, they chose the last group of experimental carriers.

“There were a total of seven people in this group. I was the only one who survived. I have integrated with the Weapon, but after all, it is a kind of forced transformation, and it is not perfect. It’s more like impoundment. As a result, my body and blood have undergone changes under the powerful pressure. I did not always look like this…” At that, she sighed.

Jiang Liushi was astounded. At first, he was under the impression that Daylily was disguising herself. He never expected that there could be such a side-effect. Daylily was thin and small, completely flat-chested as if she was at her last.

“Well, the fact that I’m still alive is all due to luck. I don’t mind my appearance at all. After integrating with the Weapon, all seven of us were forced to strip naked so that they could check our vital signs. While all the other died in the process, my body entered a state where my vital signs were so faint that I was no different than a dead person. Even Genesis’ experts thought I was dead, so I found a chance and escaped. Before they could find out that my body was missing, I was already far away. Ever since that moment, they have been chasing me. They won’t allow an experimental carrier to live in this world.”

“I see…” Jiang Liushi finally understood many things. It was likely that he was the only one, who could integrate perfectly with the weapon. That may be the reason why Starseed chose him. Even Jiang Liushi, himself, didn’t know whether he or Starseed chose each other. Starseed was a kind of artificial intelligence, so it had the ability to choose its host. As for the girl in front of him, it was not surprising that she could catch Starseed’s attention with her peculiar energy fluctuations.

Then, Jiang Liushi asked, “What’s so special about the seen people they chose? Are you powerful?” He could sense that he was special, even though she concealed her energy at all times.

“Yes, you are right. We are all level-2 paranormals.”

“Oh? Genesis is willing to sacrifice seven top paranormals? Did they capture you?”

Daylily shook her head and replied, “Originally, we were Genesis; members.”

“Eh?” Jiang Liushi was shocked. “Genesis’ higher-ups are sure cold-hearted! Aren’t they afraid of losing their members’ trust?”

Daylily sneered when she heard that. “Of course not. We were brainwashed so that we wouldn’t have such thoughts. After doomsday, Genesis’ higher-ups were all replaced. The former Chancellor was killed, and the new one changed the organization’s structure and ideals. Meanwhile, all of the former Chancellor’s subordinates were severely punished. Actually, the former Chancellor was my father…”

This time, Jiang Liushi was at a loss. It came as a surprise to him that Daylily was the former Chancellor’s daughter. It was no wonder why as soon as he asked about Genesis she reacted so strongly.

The eruption of doomsday had indeed brought immense catastrophes to the world. Genesis was not an exception. When rules and morals were non-existent, only brutal and bloody organization could develop further.

Jiang Liushi remembered that Genesis’ goal was to reach immortality. Facing such a desire, it was natural for some people to be willing to sell their soul to the Devil.

Jiang Liushi looked at the girl and felt pity for her. “I have one more question. Since you ran away from Genesis, how did the Sword Club catch and tuned you into a slave?” In his mind, since Daylily had escaped, she should have to lay low and find a safe place. Obviously, hiding in plain sight, such as the slave market, was not the best choice.

Daylily replied, “That’s because…the Sword Club possesses something.”
