Chapter 742: A Call From the Kingdom of Lulucia
"What business?"
Skyler asked angrily, and Vegapunk didn't care about Skyler's attitude. Instead, he stood up, found his balance first, and then said, "Please follow me."
After taking two steps, he turned his head again, looked at Nurkic, and said very seriously: "He stays."
Skyler frowned and was about to refuse, but Nurkic took the lead and said, "Sir, I'll stay."
Vegapunk has stated more than once that he does not want Nurkic to participate in the topic discussion. The first time Skyler refused, and this second time, Nurkic did not want to embarrass the two.
Seeing that Nurkic offered to stay, Skyler thought for a while and nodded in agreement. Then he followed Vegapunk and left the monitoring room. After another journey, even Skyler could barely identify the direction. Vegapunk just stopped.
"Zi~si~~~"
Under the control of Vegapunk, a door made an ancient and sharp operation sound, and then slowly opened it. The room was quite dark, accompanied by a musty smell.
Vegapunk entered in the dark, and then turned on the not-so-bright lights. The furnishings inside were very simple, like a spare utility room, with only a cylindrical machine placed.
Vegapunk came to the machine, wiped the glass hatch with his sleeve, and said: "Forty years ago, I just left my hometown to study, and I was looking for someone willing to fund my research.
But at that time, I didn't have any fame, and I didn't have enough money to cooperate with people on projects. It can be said that I had nothing at that time, and even my brain was not as full as it was later. "
Vegapunk said, looked at Skyler who was a little puzzled, and continued: "But at that time, there was a person who gave me a lot of money. I didn't even know who that person was, and I didn't talk to him have met before.
The man commissioned another scientist, gave me a project, and a research grant that seemed astronomical to me at the time, and I was even grateful to him at the time. "
As he spoke, Vegapunk paused for a moment, then patted the machine lightly, and said, "This was my research project at the time, it wasn't difficult, it was just an embryo culture technology.
In that era, when O'Hara was not yet destroyed, the reappearance of ancient creatures was actually very popular, and many scientists also achieved considerable success in that era.
For example, the dinosaurs that existed in the first half of the Great Channel were products of that era. At the beginning, I thought that the embryos I needed to cultivate were some kind of ancient creatures, but after receiving the commission, I realized that it was not. "
"What do you want to say?"
Skyler suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, not physically, but psychologically. Vegapunk also turned his head, Xiaoyuan looked at Skyler and asked:
"Haven't you ever been curious about your origin? I think... your hometown should be worth exploring or reminiscing about."
"I don't know, and I don't want to explore. I just know that I started to be conscious, and I was in the East China Sea."
Skyler's face became ugly, and Vegapunk lowered his eyes and said, "Yes, twenty-four years ago, do you know what happened twenty-four years ago?"
"Gol D. Roger was executed, the era of great pirates began, I joined the navy, and the Shichibukai was formally established. What are you talking about?"
Vegapunk shook his head and said, "No, neither, there is one more thing
When I was young, Quinn, Gage, and Caesar co-founded a scientific research organization, MADS, you should have heard of it. "
Skyler nodded, she naturally knew this, Vegapunk continued: "Twenty-four years ago, MADS was recognized as a dangerous organization by the world government, and we were forced to disband it.
Quinn went to the New World, Gage returned to the North Sea, and I hadn't decided where to go at the time, and then... Caesar betrayed me and disclosed my information to the World Government.
That guy thinks that he can get the favor of the world government and become a scientific researcher of the world government, but to his disappointment, the world government has no intention of disposing of me.
Instead, let me be the chief scientist of the world government. At that time, I put forward a condition, that is, let that guy become a scientific researcher at my disposal. "
Speaking of this, Vegapunk also showed a mischievous smile, as if recalling Caesar's ugly expression when he heard the news.
But aftertaste was only for a moment, and Vegapunk continued: "The world government agreed to me, but there is one condition, that is, to report all my research results.
Aha~ Actually, it's a condition rather than a price, but at that time, there were no reliable scientists in the world government, and they couldn't tell the truth from the information I submitted.
But there is only one research that I can't hand over to the world government, and that is... I have conducted embryo culture research for sixteen years.
For sixteen years, I have been conducting this research in secret, waiting for the client to take away the research results, but no one has appeared, and the embryo I cultivated has also changed from an embryo to a human. "
Vegapunk patted the machine and said, "Right here, in a place that's not even as big as a bed, I've "imprisoned" a person for fifteen years.
But in the end, I chose to destroy all the research materials. Fortunately, this is a secret research, and even the betrayer Caesar didn't know about it. "
"Why? If it's just a clone, it shouldn't be worth doing, right? After all, this technology is not only able to be completed by you, but other people can still complete it."
Skyler shook his head, a little puzzled, Vegapunk nodded, and said: "If it's just embryo culture technology, that's true, but what I was valued by the world government at the time... was consciousness research.
I have successfully transferred the consciousness residing in the devil fruit to other media. All the weapons you can see now, all the weapons that have swallowed the devil fruit are all my research.
Do you know what it means if these two technologies are combined? "
Skyler pursed his lips and replied, "Longevity?"
"That's right, it is longevity! Once the world government knows that I have conquered this technology, then the world's human relations, morality, and even the social structure will be changed."
"can you do it?"
"Of course, I've even done it, haven't I?"
"You mean the bear? Or your robots?"
"Both, the bear is the result of my formal integration of the two technologies, and Sakyamuni and the others... are signs of the maturity of the technology, but the result after success is also what I am worried about.
I am me, Shakya is me, and York is me. Think about it, when there is only one Skyler Gray in the world, it is enough to cause so many changes. If there are ten Skyler Gray Gray? Hundreds or thousands? "
After Vegapunk finished speaking, Skyler didn't answer. Although she couldn't clearly perceive that scene, it must be very bad.
"Therefore. I destroyed all the materials of embryo culture, and publicized it to the outside world. I am not good at biotechnology, and I have even belittled biotechnology many times. I think Jiazhi will hate me because of this, haha~
Even later, when the World Government asked me to research devil fruit cloning, I just turned in a report of failure, but in fact, I succeeded, even... easily. "
As Vegapunk spoke, a smug flash of pride flashed across his face. Obviously, he was still very proud of his talents, but Skyler frowned and asked, "Then what about that person? You also destroyed him?" "
Hearing Skyler's question, Vegapunk's expression froze suddenly, he hesitated a few times before saying, "I thought about it, and I even put it into action."
After finishing speaking, Vegapunk looked at Skyler's gloomy face, and knew that Skyler had already guessed it. After all, although he didn't name the name, he was about to say it.
If Skyler can't guess anything, then he is stupid, but Skyler is unwilling to take the initiative to say it. Regarding this, Vegapunk also feels a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"How did you act then?"
Skyler's tone was extremely calm, just like her normal state in the past, Vegapunk lowered his head and said: "When the world government was counting and moving, I transferred that child out of this nutrition cabin.
Then inform the world government that this nutrition cabin was left by Gaji. At that time, the world government found a lot of information about Gaji's research on cloning technology, so it didn't have too much doubt.
During their inventory, I detonated the research base. That was the most shocking scene I have ever seen. All the energy stored in the base exploded in an instant.
The entire island turned red. I, who had been taken to the warship at that time, even wondered whether I would die in the aftermath of the explosion. At that time, I was still thinking... Maybe karma really exists.
But in the end the explosion did not happen, and all the energy disappeared in an instant, or it was attracted and transferred by something. "
Having said that, Skyler and Vegapunk's eyes fell on the bright red ghost bead on the back of her hand, Vegapunk continued: "It's hard to understand, what kind of substance can store So much energy."
Skyler didn't respond, but asked, "Anyone know that kid?"
"Besides me and the client, there are two other people who know. One is the scientist who acted as an intermediary between me and the client at that time, but he has long since died, and the other...is an experimental subject who accidentally discovered my information."
Vegapunk recalled, and said: "Actually, it's not unintentional, because at that time, I was entrusted by the world government to study the reasons for the super-adaptive survivability of the Lunaria tribe.
The Lunaria tribe has strong adaptability, but I have seen very strong ones. That child can develop from an embryonic state to a human being, and from an infant to a child without any intervention.
To be honest, except for the initial period of cultivating the cells into embryos, I just provided enough nutrients for the child, but the child grew into a perfect human form.
Even events such as power outages in the nutrition cabin, nutrient supply cutoffs, relocation, etc., cannot affect the growth of that child, who is the most perfect human being with the strongest survivability and adaptability.
I couldn't help but compare that child with that Lunaria teenager. I copied that child's test data based on my memory, and every indicator surpassed that of the Lunaria tribe.
During this process, the boy from the Lunaria tribe discovered my information, and I also chatted with him. He was a great boy, but unfortunately he chose to leave. "
Seeing that Vegapunk was lost in memory again, Skyler had to interrupt again and said, "Then client, don't you have any clues yet?"
"Before today, I didn't have a clue, because the scientific research level of the person who can breed such a perfect embryo has far surpassed me at that time, even if I am now, I can't do it.
Such a person, even with simpler equipment and a harsher environment, should be able to do better than me, unless that person does not know scientific research, and the embryo is not researched by that person.
It's that person. For that person, I cultivated him in the future, and the premise of his existence is that he entrusted me to cultivate him in the past. "
After Vegapunk finished speaking, he stared at Skyler with his small eyes, and said seriously: "That child is my only failure in the true sense, but it is far more successful than my other research. "
Vegapunk's small eyes were filled with deep guilt, but also indescribably joyful and shocking. He looked at Skyler and asked, "Skyler, what does that feel like?"
"Disgusting! I don't want to be anyone, and I don't believe in the development of the so-called established trajectory. If that is really me, I will never entrust anyone to cultivate me.
If this is the only way I can exist and live, then I would rather die. "
Skyler said firmly, but Vegapunk smiled and said: "What if you were the accident? I will never fail, but only you. I failed.
If the so-called established development track is that you were successfully nurtured by me, then would you not be you, but one of the countless rewritten histories?
Skyler, if you were the accident, would you like to end this boring thing? "
Vegapunk looked around and said: "If every time, I am studying these things that I have already studied, then it will be too boring.
I think I'm going to die soon, but I've found a continuation of life, so I don't want to be born in that frozen place in yet another history rewriting, doing the things I've already done. "
"what should I do?"
"Give full play to your talents, be an accident, find the original trajectory, and then change it. For example, first find the you who entrusted me?"
After Vegapunk finished speaking, Skyler fell silent. Seeing this, Vegapunk was keenly aware of something and asked, "Do you know who that person is?"
Skyler pursed his lips and asked, "Do you know Joe Rakel Mihawk?"
"Qiwuhai, the former king, one of the world's greatest swordsmen?"
"What about the history?"
Vegapunk shook his head, expressing that he was not clear, Skyler took a deep breath, and said, "He comes from the Holy Land, he should have been a supporter of the Celestial Dragons, and the most loyal knight."
Skyler recalled the secrets of this world that Mihawk told her that night before setting off to hunt down the Beasts Pirates.
"Have you seen the Knights of the Round Table from the Knights of God?"
Mihawk suddenly asked, and Skyler nodded. Not only had she seen it, she had also arrested and even executed one of them. Of course, Skyler was far from understanding the Knights of God.
However, Mihawk doesn't seem to be for the Knights of Skyler Cop God. Seeing Skyler nodding, Mihawk said: "I used to be a knight, no. It should be an apprentice knight, but I am the best that.
Someone said at the time that I possessed all the qualities to become the most powerful knight, including talent, patience, hard work, and most importantly, my eyes, which they regarded as the symbol of the Knights of the Round Table. "
"Eagle eyes? Could it be that they also have eagle eyes?"
"No, of course not, they are more superficial, they just saw the surface of my eyes, the most noble color, which is also a necessary feature to become a knight of the round table.
If you don't have a pair of golden eyes, no matter how powerful you are, you won't be recognized as a knight of the round table or a candidate. It's a ridiculous system, but it doesn't matter. "
Mihawk complained about the strange rules of the so-called Knights of God, and then said: "My eyes not only have the color they envy and expect, but also have abilities they don't know.
I can't forget the pictures I've seen, which makes me a success, and it's also a kind of torture. After all, not all pictures are worth remembering.
This talent was not acquired by me one day, but given by birth. I can even recall every scene after my birth. When I was four years old, I saw a person. "
"Four? Thirty-nine years ago? Who did you meet? Could it be Rocks?"
Skyler asked curiously, Mihawk shook his head with a chuckle, and said: "No matter how corrupt and ignorant the Knights of God are, it is impossible for a four-year-old child to go to the battlefield.
Even, I was protected back then, in the depths of the Valley of the Gods.
I didn't witness that battle with my own eyes, but I was affected by that battle, and the entire Valley of the Gods became turbulent because of that battle.
The building I was in was also cracked during the battle, which was about the thickness of an ordinary sword. Everyone was immersed in panic, and so was I, but I still saw the crack.
At the same time, I also saw the scene behind the other wall behind the gap, which was Wulaoxing. They knelt on the ground, as if they were praying to the gods, and I saw the "god" who responded to Wulaoxing. "
Skyler raised her eyebrows, she knew who that person was, it was "I", or "Buddha", or "Im" who sent her the fax.
Mihawk looked at Skyler and said, "What do you think that person should look like?"
"I hate this way of talking, it's too inefficient, and I suspect you're being weird."
Skyler shrugged, and said unceremoniously, Mihawk smiled, how could he not know that such a conversation would cause Skyler's dissatisfaction, but sometimes, straightforward narration lacks interest.
However, Mihawk also knew that if it dragged on, Skyler might not listen directly, so he restrained his smile and said, "Silver hair that reflects the peach light, blood-red eyes that imply ominous, who do you think of such a person?" ?”
Skyler narrowed his eyes and said, "Last chance, just say it."
"You don't need to say that, you understand what I'm talking about. The person Wu Laoxing knelt down on is exactly what you look like. Twenty years ago, I only thought of you as somewhat similar, but now...it's exactly the same."
Mihawk looked at Skyler and said, Skyler pursed his lips, and then said in doubt: "Why are they exactly the same? I haven't learned any avatar skills."
"Haven't you ever wondered? The world government's attitude towards you, the slave trade, the beating of the Tianlong people, the demand for huge military expenses, and even this time you killed the Tianlong people, the world government has never targeted you."
"That doesn't make sense. If I'm really a big shot, why did you force me to the New World because of what happened to Dorag?"
"It's just you who forced yourself to the new world. After all, it would be impossible for anyone else to perform such a task. It's just that you gave up another option, didn't you?
And over the years, I haven't heard anyone else say that there are people with higher status above Wulaoxing, that is to say, perhaps only Wulaoxing knows the existence of that person.
Assuming I'm right. What if Wulaoxing didn't even meet you twenty years ago? What's more, even twenty years ago, when I first met you, I wouldn't connect the two things together. "
Mihawk's tone was very relaxed, and Skyler also smiled, and said, "Hahaha~ If I really have anything to do with people above the five old stars, then am I usurping my position now?"
Hearing Skyler's joke, Mihawk laughed very cooperatively, but his extremely sharp eyes still captured the dissatisfaction and worry in Skyler's eyes.
"Want to hear other secrets?"
"good"
Egg Point Island, Skyler came back to his senses, and was about to briefly tell Vegapunk the content of his memories, but suddenly, Nurkic’s hurried voice came from the radio.
"Sir! Dr. Vegapunk! There is an important call from the Revolutionary Army!"
Skyler and Vegapunk immediately diverted their attention, and Skyler even reached out and grabbed the apple cap on Vegapunk's head, and carried him towards where Nurkic was just now.
Vegapunk nervously pointed out the direction for Skyler, for fear that Skyler would destroy his research base. Under the guidance of Vegapunk, Skyler also quickly returned to the monitoring room.
Nurkic was anxiously waiting for the two of them holding the phone bug. When Skyler arrived, he saw the phone bug that had already answered, and said, "What happened?!"
"It's me, aunt."
"Sabo? How are you doing now?!"
Skyler asked, and another voice from the phone bug said, "Are you safe now? And where!"
Hearing it was Dorag's voice, Skyler was a little puzzled why the two didn't communicate first, but called himself over first. Sabo seemed to hesitate, and after a few nasal voices, he said:
"I'm in Lulucia Kingdom, and I'm in good health, but that's not important. What I want to say is that I found a figure on the Void Throne, aunt, that person."
"Boom~"
Suddenly, the sound of bombing came, followed by Dorag's eager voice: "Sabo! Sabo!"
Skyler also frowned and looked at Nurkic, and said, "Go and ask what happened to the Kingdom of Lulucia!"
Take a day off tomorrow to take a driving test
