Alien Knights

After bidding farewell to Emerson, Todd looked at the genealogy chart on the table and leaned back in his chair in a dispirited mood.

After a long time, he stood up, walked to the window sill and put down the curtains, took off his coat and opened the sleeves.

On the fair skin, a light gray scale the size of a silver coin grew on it, looking particularly abrupt and glaring.

"A few days ago, it was about the size of a pea. I didn't expect it to grow so fast..." Todd put down his sleeves, returned to the chair, and looked at the ceiling weakly.

Count the number of abilities in the body. "Clearness", "Weakness" and "Speed" at the beginning, followed by "Eagle Eye" when the virus was discovered, "Regeneration", "Underwater Breathing", "Metal Skin", "Pain Blocking" during the North Island Raiders, and finally "Soul Link", "Earthquake", "Soil Control" and several other undiscovered abilities gifted by Clarence.

Although phages and antibiotics are now used to try to inhibit the growth of bacteria in the body, this method is after all a temporary solution, not a permanent cure.

Variation is only a matter of time.

Whether it's the king or the holy son, what's the point of these prominent positions and noble identities once the person loses his life and turns into a monster who only knows how to kill?

The idea of ​​asking others for help was not unconsidered by Todd, but in the end he rejected the proposal.

The stability of the Muxi Kingdom is based on the survival of the king. Todd, who lacks heirs and has no legal heir, once told anyone in the kingdom about this, even the most loyal ministers, there is no guarantee that he will have any other ideas.

In the final analysis, Todd can only rely on himself for the solution to the successor mutation.

Closing his eyes, Todd emptied his mind and allowed his consciousness to enter a deeper realm.

When Todd "opened his eyes" again, he was already in a high-tech, modern research institute.

The spacious experimental hall, sophisticated electronic instruments, and dazzling LCD screens, this is the consciousness space he built with the "soul link" ability.

Todd found that human beings sometimes fall into fantasy and daydream, but the simplest application of "soul link" is to clearly restore these fuzzy images in the imagination to everything in the virtual space, and they can interact freely.

All the decorations and accessories here are based on the Wetsus Biochemical Research Institute in Europe that he visited in his previous life, and some game and movie elements he knows are mixed in, such as "Resident Evil", "Alien", "Star Wars", "Halo" and so on.

Through meditation, Todd can let his spirit enter here, deal with the affairs in his mind, and carry out daily thinking. He himself calls this virtual world "soul space".

Turning on the switch on the table, the giant screen on the wall began to play the memory fragments of Clarence in his head. Todd concentrated on "watching" and "listening" everything, trying to remember these pictures and sounds, and linking them together to form a piece of information he wanted.

This process is a bit like a jigsaw puzzle. Faced with tens of thousands of pieces, dozens of suitable pieces are selected and grafted together.

This sounds simple, but it is incredibly difficult to do. Often you find a similar fragment, and when you go back to find the previous fragment, you will find that you have forgotten it.

Todd has been busy for a long time, but still got nothing.

The tiredness and dull pain from his brain forced him to give up trying and return to the real space.

He opened his eyes and looked at the timer in the corner. Only one minute had passed, but in the soul space, it seemed that he had stayed for a whole day.

Hugging the roaring head, Todd shook his head hard, trying to get rid of this uncomfortable feeling as soon as possible.

"Come on!" Todd rubbed his temples with one hand, and rang the bell with the other, calling loudly to the attendants outside the door.

Looking at the guard who entered the gate, Todd pointed his finger downstairs: "Ask the kitchen to send me a licorice tea and make an almond cake!"

The attendant nodded in agreement, but he didn't see him move.

Seeing this, Todd frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your Majesty, Lady Mary has come and requested an audience."

Todd was taken aback: "Why didn't you tell me?"

The attendant reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I yelled outside the door just now, but you haven't responded yet."

It seemed that the "soul space" was to blame, Todd nodded to the attendant and said, "Let her in."

The door opens.

Mary, dressed in plain clothes, walked to Todd's desk, saluted, and placed a hot gold invitation card in front of Todd.

"This is?"

Todd was puzzled.

Mary's face was filled with joyful smiles: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the textile factory and clothing store you proposed? The opening ceremony will be next Friday!"

Todd opened his eyes wide: "So fast?"

"The venue, equipment, and raw materials are all ready-made, and it took a lot of time to recruit personnel and design costumes. Also, if it weren't for the "that incident" that happened in the kingdom before, the opening could have been earlier."

Todd nodded when he heard the words, he naturally knew what the other party was referring to.

"How many people did you invite on the opening day?"

"194 people, I have prepared the list long ago, including those who helped in the preparation process of opening the store, as well as 84 business partners, 26 material suppliers, 7 guild managers and some old friends of mine."

Todd said in surprise: "You can remember so many people?"

"I have to say that the ability of 'Super Memory' has brought me a lot of troubles, but also brought me a lot of convenience. At least one thing I can be sure of is that when I get old, I will definitely not suffer from amnesia." Mary, who was in such a happy mood, stuck out her tongue mischievously after saying this.

Looking at the woman in front of him, Todd couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This woman who can only remember her beauty when he first saw her, although she was once a queen, even though she has experienced many misfortunes, after getting along for such a long time, the most impressive thing is her will...Of course, there is also the ability that never forgets - "Super Memory"...

wait a minute!

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through Todd's mind.

Mary noticed that the king's face changed drastically, and she couldn't help asking worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

Todd reached out his hand to stop the other party's question, and quickly calculated the feasibility of the plan in his mind.

Clarence used the ability of "soul link" to pull himself into his soul space, and hoped to use the power of thinking to suppress and peek into the secrets of the successor.

So can this method be used in reverse?

If you pull Mary into your soul space, actively release and show Clarence's memory fragments to her, and use her "super memory" ability to organize and arrange the memories, will you be able to find the secret to suppress mutation as soon as possible?
