Chapter 394 The Serum Is Effective! Fusion Progress 29!

Hank never thought that Jervis would let him go so easily.

Logically, he already had a lot of confidential information about the other party, such as the formula of compound No. 5 and the underground laboratory of Weiss Pharmaceuticals. These were things that could not be seen in the light. If any of them were leaked, it would cause an uproar in the United States.

Especially the temporary compound No. 5. If the US military knew about this thing, they would probably snatch it from Jervis at all costs.

"Are you sure you don't want me to sign any confidentiality agreement?" Hank didn't believe that he could gain the other party's trust in such a short time.

"It's totally unnecessary. I believe you won't tell those things."

Xia Shang smiled and stretched out his right hand to Hank, "If you need it in the future, please feel free to contact me."

"Thank you."

Although he didn't know what the other party was up to, out of courtesy, Hank also smiled and stretched out his hand.

However, at the moment when the palms of both sides touched, an inexplicable energy flowed into Hank's brain along his arm.

Under Xia Shang's smiling gaze, Hank's eyes suddenly became particularly empty and dull.

"First, forget all the memories about Compound No. 5 and the serum. Second, you have been working at Weiss Pharmaceuticals for some time and helped me invent a good cold medicine. Third, you have never seen Victor, John and Agent Zero. They have never appeared in your memory..."

Through the two superpowers of cognitive invasion and memory storm, Xia Shang is gradually modifying Hank's original memory. In order to prevent the other party's memory from being biased, he patiently puts in various patches and then continuously reinforces it.

He did not let go of Hank's hand until his eyeballs were full of bloodshot.

Xia Shang, who looked a little tired, closed his eyes, and opened them again, and his eyeballs had returned to normal.

"Mr. Jervis, I won't bother you anymore." Hank smiled and nodded to Xia Shang very naturally, without realizing that his memory had been tampered with.

"Thank you for your contribution to Weiss Pharmaceuticals. The cold medicine you invented is really good."

"Nothing, I just improved it on your original basis."

The heart rate is normal, there is no micro-expression when lying, the memory tampering should be successful. Seeing Hank's reaction is normal, Xia Shang can basically be sure that the order he issued is effective.

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words.

After many attempts to ensure that there is no risk, Xia Shang watched Hank open the door of the office and walked out.

Looking at Hank's back as he left, Xia Shang thought to himself.

"It seems that there is a high probability that there will be no mistakes. Even if Charles has a strong psychic ability, I don't think he can find out that Hank's memory has been tampered with in a short time.

Besides, with Charles's personality, unless Hank himself notices something wrong and takes the initiative to ask Charles to check his memory, Charles will not be able to use his psychic ability on Hank."

After Hank left, Xia Shang sat back in the office chair.

And opened the panel to check the progress of the ability fusion.

[Ghost Teleport Fusion in Progress, Current Progress 12%]

To be honest, in just one week, the fusion progress can increase from 2% to 12%, which is not slow. Of course, this is also related to Xia Shang's frequent use of this ability. Facts have proved that practice can indeed speed up the fusion speed.

"In other words, without the help of external forces, it will take about two or three months to completely fuse the ghost teleportation." Xia Shang began to absorb the newly obtained serum while observing the panel.

At first, he only absorbed a few milliliters of the amount, and only after he was sure that the serum would not cause any adverse effects on him did he slowly inject the liquid in the glass tube into his body.

[Ghost Teleport Fusion in Progress, Current Progress 12...13%]

Seeing the progress bar jump back, Xia Shang couldn't help but feel happy. It seems that the serum is really effective, but I don't know which effect is stronger than Compound No. 5.

Soon, he absorbed the entire tube of serum, and at this time, the progress bar on the panel reached 29%.

But at the same time, the cells in Xia Shang's body vaguely felt full, as if they had eaten too much in one breath.

"Hank is really a genius." After solving the problem of slow fusion, Xia Shang was in a particularly good mood. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the pedestrians passing by on the road, and thought about another question.

Can I find the Apocalypse buried underground?

Because in the old timeline, Apocalypse did not revive. According to Xia Shang's inference, the reason should be related to the group of Apocalypse believers. He vaguely remembered that the reason why Apocalypse woke up was because a believer accidentally broke into the tomb where Apocalypse was buried, allowing sunlight to shine in, so this was an accidental event. Since it was an accidental event, it was normal that it did not happen in the old timeline.

"Egypt...Cairo." Xia Shang flipped through the memory of Apocalypse in his mind, and finally spit out the area where Apocalypse was located.

However, the brain waves of Apocalypse in sleep should be very weak. Even if he went to Cairo, Egypt, he might not be able to find Apocalypse buried deep underground.

"Forget it. After I integrate Victor's regenerative ability, I will find time to go to Egypt." Xia Shang wanted to maximize the benefits, so he would not consider analyzing Magneto, Charles and others for the time being. Only after their abilities were strengthened by Apocalypse would it be the best time to take action.

Although this is riskier, the greater the risk, the higher the return!

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in." Xia Shang put away the empty glass tube and said in a deep voice.

"Mr. Jervis, it's me, Camille."

Camille pushed open the wooden door with a creak, walked to the desk with a newspaper, and said with a smile: "Good news, the sales of our second issue of Mutant Weekly are three times that of the first issue. Now newsstands in various cities have sent us a large number of orders. It is estimated that it will not take long for our Weiss Newspaper to squeeze into the top ten newspapers in the country."

At this point, Camille paused, wanting to say something but stopped.

Seeing his look, Xia Shang sneered: "Are other newspapers starting to suppress us?"

"Uh... yes, like the Washington Post, they have publicly condemned our behavior in the newspaper, saying that we are helping mutants to whitewash. Some extremists even burned our newspapers on the street to protest. During this period, many violent incidents occurred." Camille said.

"It's normal, you'll get used to it." Xia Shang obviously didn't take this matter to heart. Before establishing Mutant Weekly, he expected that similar incidents would emerge in an endless stream. The best way is to ignore them and not respond. Anyway, once the image of the Homelander is established, there will be fewer and fewer such people. (End of this chapter)
