Chapter 419 Origin (Part )

Every day in life is actually very ordinary, and the only thing that makes it extraordinary is what happens on that day.

Zhou Tian has experienced this twice.

For the first time, I, who had a bright future, became disabled because of a minor fever, and my life took a turn.

And the second time is right this moment.

The strange plant brought by Meng Zhen drilled into his blind left eye socket and grew in his body in an almost parasitic manner.

And the consequence was...his eyes were healed.

A week later, Meng Zhen came back from the city. After listening to Zhou Tian, ​​whose eyes had healed, tell her about his experience in detail, she fell silent.

"So you think your eyes healed because of these plants?" Meng Zhen asked.

"It cannot be said to be cured, it has just regained its original functions." Zhou Tian said after pondering for a moment.

Although I can see with my left eye now, this kind of "seeing" seems a little different from my previous feeling.

It's not clearer, nor is it blurrier, but... my left eye always seems to be able to vaguely see some vague outlines of the human body.

It was really hard for him to understand.

"What about the ears?" Meng Zhen asked again.

Zhou Tian shook his head. He didn’t find it strange. If it was the effect of that strange plant, then it was normal that his ears still couldn’t hear. After all, it just took root in the eyes and had nothing to do with the ears.

"I thought if you wanted to continue studying these plants, you could try me."

Zhou Tian said.

Meng Zhen looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Tian nodded. He was not joking, nor was he doing this to help Meng Zhen with his research. He had no such noble reasons.

But... he saw hope of completely getting rid of his disability, and he needed these "grasses". If the ears could also allow them to parasitize and it could also restore the function of the ears, Zhou Tian would be happy to be a guinea pig.

Meng Zhen didn't ask any more questions, but carefully examined his eyes. The plant that had penetrated into his eye socket and taken root on the surface of his eyeball had completely disappeared.

"You have to think clearly. Letting something whose origin you don't know enter your body, even if it hasn't shown any harm to you so far, the risk itself is still very high. You may even die from it."

Meng Zhen said seriously.

Zhou Tian thought about it and said, "I still want to continue doing experiments, using my body."

"In our world, there is no soil that can nourish them, but the human body seems to be able to do so, and I don't want to give up."

Meng Zhen didn't say anything more.

But at this moment, Zhou Tian suddenly asked: "So, can you tell me how you found it, and how did you know it would most likely kill me?"

Meng Zhen was speechless. She knew that Zhou Tian was smart and perceptive, but she didn't expect that he could hear the clues from just a casual sentence of hers.

But that’s true. These strange plants have not shown any aggressiveness so far. Instead, they have reversed Zhou Tian’s health problems.

But he mentioned that it could potentially kill people...

Meng Zhen withdrew her thoughts. Now that things had come to this, she had already acquiesced that this intelligent young man would be her companion.

She... really needed him, and she really needed someone to take responsibility for the secrets she knew.

"Because they killed my parents."

Meng Zhen said in a low voice.

Zhou Tian frowned: "Did he die in the process of obtaining it, or did he die because of its own abnormality?"

"It's because of itself..." Meng Zhen finally let go of his guard. "Don't worry, this is not some treasure that many forces are fighting for. My parents are just a pair of ordinary geologists. They found this thing in a cave under the city."

"The city you are talking about is..."

"Yecheng."

After saying this, Meng Zhen looked much more relaxed.

"After my parents discovered them under the city of karma, they immediately began to study them. They came to the same conclusion as us: these plants are alive, but they do not belong to our world. The way they absorb nutrients is unknown, and the ecological environment in which they were born is also unknown."

"So, they decided to go back to where they found these things, which is the cave under the city of karma, to check it out again."

"Then... they disappeared."

Meng Zhen was relatively calm, but his words were filled with longing. "I know they are in grave danger, but I can't just forget about it and start a new life."

"At the same time, because of my parents' disappearance, the Yecheng police have also intervened in the investigation. I don't want them to take these plants away. These things may be the only clues to their whereabouts."

She let out a long breath and looked at Zhou Tian: "So, I brought them here and continued my research on them in the name of new crop experiments."

After listening carefully, Zhou Tian was a little puzzled: "You still haven't explained why you think they will kill me."

Meng Zhen stood up and walked to his backpack. He bent down and rummaged through it for a while, took out a notebook and handed it to Zhou Tian.

"This is my parents' record. Although they didn't understand what it was, they recorded the strangeness they felt when they found it."

Zhou Tian opened his notebook.

After reading it quickly, he fell silent.

Strictly speaking, this is not a research record, but more like a diary or something like that.

The most useful information recorded is the records of when these plants were discovered.

According to Meng Zhen's parents' description, these things grew on the edge of a hole that emitted a grayish-white fluorescent light, and the area around the hole... was full of remains.

Not the bones of animals, but of humans.

----

The real world, right now.

Bai Yanliang and Bai Yanren stood in Song Que's house, and after listening to Song Que's words, they were silent for a while.

One is becoming a human being, and the other, what is he becoming?
The silence did not last long.

Bai Yanren took the initiative to break the silence. He looked at Song Que, or more precisely, looked into his eyes: "I want your eyes."

"You want to dig it out?" Song Que was not afraid.

Bai Yanren didn't waste any words and was about to step forward, but saw Bai Yanliang stepped forward first.

"Have you ever had any eye problems?" Bai Yanliang asked.

Song Que frowned slightly. At this moment, an old voice came from outside.

"Yes, Master Bai. When you were young, you suffered from eye disease. It was a couple of doctors who cured you."

Song Que's eyes widened slightly: "Why don't I know?"

"You know, Master, there are photos of you and them in your study. They are Master's friends... Your research funds have received a lot of sponsorship from Master."

Song Que seemed to realize something. His eyes... weren't born with this abnormality. So it seemed like they were acquired later?
He immediately turned and ran towards the study.

Bai Yanliang followed closely behind, and Bai Yanren followed without saying a word.

The searching process was not complicated. The photo frame with the group photo was placed high on the bookshelf. Since Song Que did not like reading, he had basically never moved this bookshelf. It was the first time he knew there was a photo in the frame.

Bai Yanliang stood beside Song Que and looked at the photo.

There are not many people in the picture, only Song Que's father, a middle-aged man with neatly styled hair.

Then there were two people, a man and a woman.

However, the moment he saw the man and the woman, Bai Yanliang was shocked!

Although the man's age has changed a bit, his facial features are still obvious if you look closely...it's Zhou Tian!
And women...

薰。

It's Xun!

The woman who appeared in Xueji Village at the last moment when the Wuji world collapsed, the woman who possessed Liu Ruonan...

The future that he traveled to through the gate of No. 18 Middle School, the woman who was inexplicably close to him but called Dr. Zhou "father"...

"Xun, why is she here?" Bai Yanliang's mind was in a mess.

At this time, the old butler walked to the door of the study and slowly said:

"Master Bai, you may have recognized the wrong person."

"The woman in this photo, her name is Meng Zhen."
