Chapter 226 Concern Group, Artificial Uterus Center
The two witches explained their purpose to Daoist Styx.
The other person had one arm crossed over their chest, the other hand resting on it, supporting their chin, and appeared to be thinking.
After a long pause, Mo Di, who had been pretending to be deep in thought, finally spoke: "It is our duty to subdue demons and monsters, but I still have a question for you two."
"Please speak, Daoist Master." Xia An's pupils dilated slightly, knowing that it was time to discuss terms.
What is the world like on the other side?
As soon as Mo Di spoke, Cheng Nuo's heart seemed to stop for a moment, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on the paintbrush in her hand.
Xia An subtly pressed down on her hand, shook her head slightly, and then asked, "Has the Daoist priest guessed our identities?"
"Indeed." Modi revealed a slight smile. "Before I sealed myself away, I sensed the existence of the outer heavens during a communion between heaven and man."
'
".....I see." Xia An thought to himself, "Troublesome," and couldn't help but curse those network engineers in his heart.
Having learned about the relevant settings, she naturally knew that every single one of these humanoid singularities who have survived to this day is an unreasonable being.
As top exorcists, they possess the skills to divine the secrets of heaven in Chinese legends and the prophetic arts of the Western world.
They can even glimpse the truth of the Ring through acts such as communion with the divine, thereby attracting more errors.
"The world on the other side, which you call the Outer Heaven, is actually quite similar to this place. In fact, it's more accurate to say that this world was sculpted based on the Outer Heaven."
Xia An's eyes flickered. Having received authorization from her superiors, she revealed some of the information.
"Master, if you wish to travel to our world, it is not impossible, as long as you fulfill our request..."
""
The higher-ups have differing opinions on whether to allow life from the Ring Realm to appear in reality.
Some believe this is very dangerous, given the precedent of Sadako, which led humanity down a completely different path.
If we do it again, who knows what the consequences will be?
Another group believes they have every right to do so; they could simply send a great witch or a few witches to guard the area, and any risks could be detected in time.
At this moment, Xia An, representing the capital behind her, extended an invitation to Daoist Minghe, for which she and Cheng Nuo had already closed their live broadcast room.
The capital behind her is curious about these anomalies and hopes to discover something from them.
"If you can fulfill our mandate and meet our requirements, Hongtu Life Engineering Group will welcome you to join us," she said.
"Hongtu Life Engineering Group?" Mo Di smiled slightly. "This is something worth considering... I'll think about it carefully."
He then asked about the situation in the other world before agreeing and watching the two leave.
Silence enveloped the Taoist temple once again; even though it was located deep in the mountains and forests, there was not a single chirping of insects or birds.
Standing at the gate of the Taoist temple, Mo Di recalled the information he had just received and gained some understanding of that world.
"It seems that the Sadako incident did indeed cause serious damage there, to the point that they even abandoned some of their ethical and moral values."
His eyes deepened as he felt a drop of his blood vanish into thin air.
Their connection was not broken, but it became weak and was somewhat delayed.
Modi did not stop this anomaly; he knew it was the sucker fulfilling his promise.
Using a drop of blood as a vessel, he was brought to the reality corresponding to the Ring.
The landing location was... the artificial womb center.
Inside an artificial womb, a drop of bright red blood suddenly appears and lands on the surface of an immature embryo.
Blood, like a living thing, merges into this embryo, which was not long ago a fertilized egg, and reconstructs its gene sequence.
The original traces were gradually erased, leaving only an empty shell infected by the Blood God Child, inside which were grotesque creatures that kept writhing.
Under the cover of some special force, the artificial uterus monitoring system did not detect any abnormalities, nor did it detect a sharp increase in the consumption of the artificial uterus.
A large amount of nutrients were poured into the artificial uterus and were frantically absorbed by the Blood God Child. In no time, enough nutrients were consumed for the embryo to grow into a baby, and the amount was still increasing.
The originally immature embryo inside also grew rapidly and gradually took on the shape of a baby.
Just as Modi was enjoying his drug use, he received a warning from the sucker.
The other party warned him to stop smoking, otherwise it would inevitably lead to an investigation by the person in charge.
"It's just a few extra breaths. I'm still growing right now," he muttered, then decisively followed the plan, slowing his heartbeat and faking his death.
Before long, the monitoring system detected his abnormality and determined that he was a stillborn baby.
Even with advanced artificial womb technology in this world, this is something that happens only occasionally and is not surprising.
The system, following its procedure, dispatched a recycling robot to remove him from the artificial womb and transfer him to a recycling station for further processing.
All stillborn infants are basically transferred to recycling centers to be dissolved, turning into basic biomass used to cultivate the remaining embryos.
As soon as the recycling robot placed the stillborn baby into the recycling station, he revived from his suspended animation, opened his eyes, and looked at the world for the first time.
"Xia An is right, stillborn babies are indeed transferred to the recycling center, where I have everything I need."
He rolled over, and with a thought, his body quickly dissolved into red liquid, plunging headfirst into the biomass return pipe of the recycling station.
Stealing biomass inside an artificial womb is too risky; it's better to do it in a recycling center, where the risk is relatively lower.
The biomass was continuously absorbed by the red liquid until the goal was achieved. Then, Modi wriggled his body and crawled into the sewer along the flow of waste liquid, quietly leaving.
"Although the process was a bit strange, and it was somewhat like scavenging the students' swill that they didn't want in the cafeteria, at least I managed to save up my first pot of gold."
At the sewer exit, Modi slowly rose, transforming from a red liquid back into human form, and casually wove a set of well-fitting clothes around his body.
The blood flames ignited, burning away the stench on his body. He looked around and found himself on the bank of a heavily polluted river.
The river surface was covered with efflorescence, like a green carpet spread out on it, emitting a strong stench.
Dead fish floated on the surface of the water, their bodies turned upside down, demonstrating just how bad the river's environment was.
Modi clicked his tongue, quickly left the riverbank, and walked towards the outline of a city not far away.
As he walked, he recalled the information Xia An had given him.
"After the Sadako incident, this world, barring any unforeseen circumstances, has entered an era where giant corporations control everything. On one hand, there is rapid technological development, and on the other hand, the lives of the lower classes are difficult, and their spirits are extremely repressed. Cyberpunk is not far away."
Having experienced the devastation of the metastatic cancer virus brought by Sadako, the old national order was on the verge of collapse. If it weren't for the emergence of a new generation of anti-cancer drugs, it would be uncertain whether humanity could have survived.
After the Sadako incident, some opportunists took advantage of the decline of various countries in the old era, joining forces with other large companies...
Large corporations formed monopolies and replaced their positions.
Hongtu Life Engineering Group, Europa Military-Industrial Complex, and Wieland-Yuya Company are among the best, and can almost be considered as three global conglomerates.
These three are also the three giant enterprises that occupy the largest share of the environmental industry. Xia An and Cheng Nuo belong to Hongtu Life Engineering Group, one of them.
"Hongtu Life Engineering Group mainly controls Asia and parts of Oceania and Africa. My arrival point happens to be within its controlled area."
Modi stopped and gazed at the dazzling lights in the distance, letting out a soft sigh.
He seemed to stand still, but the next moment, his body left afterimages and suddenly disappeared.
Behind him, a man who had stabbed empty air with a knife stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Before he could react, he felt a strong force coming from his neck.
With a "crack," a pain shot through him, but it only lasted for a moment before everything went black and he completely lost consciousness.
"The local residents are so rude! They didn't even greet me when they saw me, and they just wanted to stab me. Is this some kind of Mianbei Industrial Park?"
Looking at the man lying on the ground, Modi showed no pity whatsoever, not even the slightest emotional fluctuation.
He simply crouched down and began to loot the man's body.
"Some junk, some coins and banknotes—how come these things haven't been phased out yet?"
After a quick search, Mo Di was about to get up when a startled cry came from behind him.
"dad!"
Looking back, he saw a young woman, simply dressed, with a shocked and devastated expression on her face, rushing towards him.
Her gaze remained fixed on the man's corpse, never wavering, and the anxiety in her eyes seemed genuine.
Modi stood up and made way for her.
Just as the two were about to pass each other, the girl's expression turned ferocious, and a sharp knife from her sleeve fell into her hand. She turned her body to the side, about to stab the knife into Mo Di's body.
However, the knife came to a complete stop after only an inch of penetration.
"You want to avenge him?" Mordy looked directly into the girl's eyes, twisted her wrist, and turned her arm to an unnatural angle.
"Ugh!" the girl cried out in pain, her eyes instinctively welling up with tears, making her look pitiful.
But Modi had no intention of showing any mercy; he forcefully turned the knife towards her and pushed her forward.
puff.
The knife pierced his heart, and blood gushed out.
Modi released his grip, expressionless, and pushed forward, knocking the girl, who lay dead with her eyes wide open, to the ground.
Then, as usual, the body was searched.
"This is...
...?
Modi found a photo on the girl; it was a group photo of three people.
In the photo, on the left is a woman whose face is blacked out and who is wearing a green bracelet.
In the middle is the girl in front of him, and on his right is the man from earlier. They are both smiling brightly in the photo.
"She does seem to be this man's daughter. Judging from their clothes, their family must be wealthy, which explains why they have a daughter... But how did they end up like this? And why did they smear that woman's face?"
Modi glanced at the photo, put it away, and prepared to burn the two bodies.
