Chapter 279: The Slightly Rugged Road to Revival

The siblings didn't comprehend much. From their perspective, it was probably bizarre for them to see Lin Sanjiu's changing expressions as she looked more and more serious.

Mrs. Manas' voice sounded somewhat helpless as it rang through the depths of Lin Sanjiu's mind.

"It all goes back to the Black Tower at the Garden of Eden. When you were fighting with the 'sages', St. Peter and you were injured. St. Peter was bleeding… Do you remember?"

"Yes… Subsequently, during the battle, St. Peter's blood was transferred to your wound. The current reality proves that it wasn't accidental."

"Somehow, those cells carrying that strange creature's genes exhibit very strong self-directing behaviors. They quickly spread through your skin's dermal level and entered your body through your microcirculation system… From then, they had 'settled' in your body.

"These cells hold an unusually large amount of genes. According to the gene sequences, the cells not only hold the full genome of the 'Neuhumes' designed by Nüwa, but they also can invade, infect and mutate the owner's cells like viruses. When I noticed that something was wrong, the cells had already perforated through and altered a small part of your body… Let me put it this way, you can view them as a different sort of cancer cell.

"After these cells entered your body system, the unique sequences belonging to the Neuhume genome are expressed by the cells and they started to invade your body continually. I don't know what they were designed to do, but I am sure of one thing. If those cells had not been genetically modified, the Neuhumes would definitely not be as peace-loving as they appear. From the aggressive behavior of their cells, it is hard to believe that they are pacifists by nature."

After Mrs. Manas said that in one single breath, Lin Sanjiu took quite some time to process the new information she had received. After she thought about it for a while, she muttered weakly, "You said that they are like cancer cells… But, why can't I sense any changes in my body even after such a long time?"

Mrs. Manas sighed seemingly. "They metastasize like cancer cells, but… the process and means are a little different." Once she said this, she paused, almost as if she remembered something, and quickly changed the topic, "If you see Nüwa again, don't interact with her! Just avoid her at all cost! Because I suspect… she is a higher consciousness user."

"You mean—"

"That's right. If these cells that invaded your body are merely attacking you on a biological level, I may not be able to sense them. The fact that I can sense them implies that they carry someone's higher consciousness—Nüwa's. Furthermore, your [School of Higher Consciousness] had already been attacked multiple times by them."

Lin Sanjiu stood up from her chair abruptly. She was so shocked that she didn't know what to say for a long time.

"You're telling me… You have been using my higher consciousness to fight against those cells?" Lin Sanjiu paused for a moment as if she couldn't bring herself to believe what she was hearing, "Then, what are these cells trying to do? If they succeed, what would happen to me?"

"For now, it's still hard to say," Mrs. Manas seemed uncertain. "But, Nüwa probably didn't expect you to just die like that. As your higher consciousness had been fully separated from your body, not only are you safe from their attacks but they are currently in imminent danger—"

"These cells were designed to be 'warriors' so they are extremely resilient. I had discovered very early when I fought against them a couple of times. We can only hope that these cells are not dead yet but are in a sort of hibernation state. If we can somehow activate them again, and use this chance to trick them to attack your dead cells, we might get them to merge with your body cells. With that, it would renew your cells. If they can revive your cells, you might have a chance to revive your physical body."

Lin Sanjiu had been blissfully unaware of these battles within her body all this time. Hearing this now, she found herself in a highly strung state. "What would happen to me after this… merger?"

"I don't know," Mrs. Manas' immediate reply choked Lin Sanjiu. "But, this is your only choice now."

After Mrs. Manas said this, a voice filled with a clearly restrained excitement rang out, "Maybe, I can help!"

Lin Sanjiu looked up and noticed that the eyes of the black-white cat in front of her had never been so brighter.

Surprisingly, the cat doctor, with an unclassifiable existence, could hear Mrs. Manas just like the other spirit duoluozhongs. When Mrs. Manas was explaining the situation to Lin Sanjiu, the cat listened to every single word without moving an inch. He looked down at the dead body, then he turned to Lin Sanjiu with an eye-blindingly bright expression, "If you want to try activating those cells, I think I can help you—don't forget, I'm a doctor."

Lin Sanjiu had her reservations about this doctor. However, what Meowie Hu said next stunned her.

"Back in the provincial hospital, we launched a research study," the cat doctor seemed to have noticed Lin Sanjiu's apprehension so he stuck his chin up arrogantly. "At that time, I captured about five people who were about to die so that I could observe the changes to their body the moment they died and also the slow process of how they turned into a duoluozhong… I won't go into details regarding the medical terms involved. You will all just be confused. To keep things brief, a technique can be used for triggering the first step of the duoluozhong conversion process. I think it is something you can use."

Lin Sanjiu didn't need any more explanation to figure out how abnormal the experiment sounded. She eyed blankly for a few seconds before she understood that the cat doctor wasn't trying to turn her into a duoluozhong, but was planning to use a similar technique to activate those Neuhume cells.

"How are you going to do that?" she asked cautiously.

"We can't do it here," the cat doctor shook his head. "I need some equipment which can only be found in the provincial hospital. If you want to test that technique, you will have to come with me to the provincial hospital."

Lin Sanjiu was slightly startled, "But, you just said—"

"Yes," the bicolor cat blinked its large eyes, "The provincial hospital had already turned into one of the mutated buildings affected by the pocket dimension here. When I left, batches and batches of posthumans had entered the hospital trying to get more lives. It was almost never-ending."
