Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster!-Chapter 278 - 120 Is This Also the Trinity?

Gene prototype?

What do you mean by gene prototype??

What the hell brought me here?

Is this Earth or Terra?

Chen Jian’s gun was already pressed against the Supervisor’s forehead, but the other party seemed completely unafraid.

He just stared at Chen Jian’s eyes unmoved, speaking in a slightly crazed tone:

"Oh yes, yes, you all don’t know what a gene prototype is."

"You just killed the Saint of the Mechanical God Sect, whether you killed the Holy Father of the Holy Blood Temple or not."

"Speaking of the Holy Father, have you ever met him? No, you couldn’t possibly have."

"That old man never leaves his chamber, as if something’s holding him there."

"He’s probably busy breeding his next generation every day? Maybe he should cooperate with the Queen of Huadu."

"Oh right, ’Queen’ is such a stupid title, does she really think she’s a queen?"

"Have you seen the Queen? She’s really quite the looker!"

"By the way, we can cooperate! Cooperate! What do you say?"

"You’re heading to the Imperial City, aren’t you? Take me with you!"

"I can do anything, really, whatever you tell me to do, I’ll do it!"

"I’ll tell you everything I know, it’s more valuable than any pre-cataclysm relic!"

"....First tell me, what do you mean by gene prototype?"

Chen Jian slightly lowered the gun, while the Supervisor shook his head repeatedly:

"That’s not important, that’s not important!"

"I have to introduce myself first!"

"My name is Xu He, do you know which two characters that is? It’s the ’Xu’ from ’permit’ and the ’He’ from ’river’!"

"Damn, I should change my name, it’s too common!"

"But your name is also common, Chen Jian... you should change it to..."

"Stop the nonsense!"

Chen Jian sternly interrupted Xu He’s rambling, but the latter only paused briefly before continuing his hysterical chatter.

Chen Jian could already see that the other party’s mental state was indeed off.

It wasn’t the madness of schizophrenia, rather more like...

"ADHD, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder."

Fu Xi’s voice came through the earpiece.

"This is a typical side effect of using invasive brain-machine equipment. Research records show that over 60% of test subjects for this technology developed ADHD symptoms, with more than 50% reaching severe levels."

"And 40% are normal?"

Chen Jian hesitated and said:

"Then he’s really unlucky."

"No, he’s actually lucky. The remaining 40% mostly developed schizophrenia, hallucinations, cognitive dissonance, and other more severe symptoms."

"Those who can use invasive brain-machine technology without any adverse effects are less than 5%."

"....Understood."

Chen Jian turned back to Xu He, who was still rambling on about some powerful second-level monster he had seen, a topic Chen Jian didn’t even know how he segued into.

"Listen to me carefully!"

Chen Jian gestured to Ji Xing, who stepped forward and forcefully pressed Xu He’s shoulder down.

Xu He finally quieted slightly, and Chen Jian asked:

"I’ll ask you once more."

"What do you mean by gene prototype??"

"A gene prototype is a mimic heretic, a mimic heretic is a gene prototype."

"They’re believed to be created things, so of course, they’re called gene prototypes."

"However, no one knows their origin anymore, only those fools in the Mechanical God Sect call them mimic heretics."

"They think everything is a heretic. The funny thing is their saint was killed by a heretic."

"Right, the new saint is quite close with you guys, isn’t he?"

"You better watch out, he’s still a saint, and a saint is a saint."

"Who said that? Why does it sound so familiar..."

...

Talking with Xu He was incredibly taxing, every sentence of his was followed by a barrage of chaotic, irrelevant information.

It took a full hour, but Chen Jian finally extracted some clues he wanted from him.

And at this point, Chen Jian felt like his own mind had been tainted by him.

"So, this device of his was obtained in Huadu, and the information he knows was also acquired in Huadu..."

"Yes, exactly, Huadu, I..."

"Shut up."

Chen Jian gave Ji Xing a look, who immediately stepped forward and blocked Xu He.

By now, Xu He had completely lost the demeanor of a powerful "Blood Source," and for a moment, Chen Jian even thought he had completely lost self-awareness, becoming like a stray dog severely mentally beaten, trampled by anyone.

----But, this was clearly only on the surface.

When he stood and tried to push aside Ji Xing’s hand, sending the latter staggering, Chen Jian immediately realized he was still a dangerous individual.

No matter his intentions, if they were to cooperate with him, they must be constantly vigilant.

The gun barrel was lifted again, and Xu He innocently stepped back and said:

"Trust me, I don’t want to get rough."

"I just want to cooperate; cooperation benefits us both."

"You want to know what a mimic heretic is, I also want to know, it’s one of the biggest secrets in the world."

"Who knows, it might just be humanity’s true future, huh?"

"Alright, alright, if you feel I’ve upset you, I can shut up right now."

"However, give me my holy relic back."

"It’s time for me to use it, and you interrupted me, which is just plain rude..."
