Something that could be preserved with such sophisticated equipment must be extraordinary.After the door was opened, Thomas looked inside and saw various bottles and jars in the empty room. This was an underground laboratory.The thing that stood out the most was a cylindrical container in the middle of the room, where a fiery red snake with two heads was stored!“Two-headed snake?!” Thomas was shocked.Although he had learned about the existence of this kind of creature from Phoebe and Blake long ago, he was still quite shocked when he actually saw it.This was similar to the time when he saw “Plant Humans” for the first time.It was not exaggerated at all to say that it was a devil. The two-headed snake was definitely not an animal that should exist in this world. It was a devil from hell.The very sight of it would put people in awe.The nanny wheeled Abner into the laboratory. Abner explained, “To tell you the truth, I have not given up my research on the two-headed snake
He explained, “After the snake venom enters the human body, it changes, but also does not change the same time. Therefore, every person who is bitten by a two-headed snake may react differently, and the reaction will change every moment. Because the snake venom is not fixed and changes from time to time, you will never be able to make an antidote according to the snake venom at that time.”It was too difficult.In fact, if the snake venom was fixed, it was easy to make a serum based on the snake venom to cure the snake venom.The problem was the venom was ever-changing.Right after you finished making the serum, the venom would change, so the serum would become useless.What could he do?Thomas smiled bitterly and said, “Only someone like you could concoct this, Mr. Porter. How can ordinary people create such a strange thing?”Abner coughed awkwardly. “I am hardly enough. Back then, I just provided a wide variety of snake venom for reference. The one who fused them all and impla
What came next was the war of attrition.After having a way to target and kill the boss, passing the level smoothly was a matter of course.The game Pisces played seemed to have nothing to do with the problem faced by Abner and the others. However, Thomas’s eyes lit up.He said, “Snake venom changes all the time, so we can’t make a serum to remove work against it. However, if we think about it differently, is there a way to ‘freeze’ the snake venom so that it stops changing and maintains the characteristics at that time? Then, we can remove the snake venom by making the corresponding serum within this period.”This was a really bold and amazing idea.Only Thomas could think of it.An old man like Abner could never think of such a strange solution, even if he spent his whole life.Abner’s eyes lit up, and he said, “This means our current research topic has changed from ‘how to make the corresponding serum’ to ‘how to stop snake venom from changing within a certain period of time’
According to the information provided by Abner, all changes and fusions of snake venoms actually needed to be carried out when the human cells were in an “alive” state.Once the human died, venom would cease to function.In other words, snake venom had a symbiotic relationship with the human body. When a person was alive, the snake venom would always be active. Once the person died, the snake venom would also stop its activity.This feature was originally useless.In Abner’s opinion, they could not stop snake venom by killing people, right? Was there still a need to remove the venom? The person was already dead, and nothing was left.But Thomas did not think so.In the past, Thomas had utilized Apparent Death.It was the same now.Thomas could use some special methods to make people look dead, but in fact, it was just Apparent Death. He could still make them come back to life through certain methods.In other words, they could deceive the snake venom in the human body through
Thomas walked over excitedly to help Abner remove the silver needles from his body and unblocked the nerves, allowing Abner to recover from the state of Apparent Death.A few minutes later, Abner woke up.“Ah…”Abner rubbed his head, as he felt a little dizzy.He quickly disregarded the mild discomfort and asked, “Thomas, did your plan succeed?”Thomas smiled and said, “Mr. Porter, you can try it out yourself.”“I can try it out myself? Could it be?”Abner’s eyes widened, and an excited expression appeared on his face. He bolted up from the hospital bed and got out of bed.The nanny wanted to come over to help him, but he waved her off.“No need to help me. I’ll do it myself.”Abner stubbornly supported the bed with his hands and tried to walk step by step. He had not walked for more than ten years, and he had almost forgotten the sensation of walking.“I can walk. I can walk!“I’m walking on my own feet!”Abner cried with joy. Although each step was slow and laborious, th
“Security, hurry up and take a look at this. What the hell is going on here?”Everyone became nervous and panicked all of a sudden, since they had no idea what was going on.The security was even more confused. ‘What the hell is going on? Something like this has never happened before.‘It can’t possibly be poisonous gas, right? All of the doors and windows are open, and there is good air ventilation. Also, if it was poisonous gas, why were only a few people poisoned?‘Perhaps it’s food poisoning?‘But that’s even less likely.‘The unconscious people all reacted differently, and two of them had not even eaten anything at the bar. How could they have gotten food poisoning?’Just as the security was perplexed by the situation, suddenly, a lady’s scream tore through the air. “Ah! Snake! There’s a snake!!!”A snake?The music stopped. The lights were turned on, and the crowd spread out as everyone’s gazes were drawn over.All they could see was a bright red snake curled under a
In the dead of night, Thomas had returned to Food and Medicine Hall. He had been so busy the past few days that he was aching to lie down in his bed and get some sleep.However, reality would never give him a chance to rest.Even before Thomas was able to take off his jacket, Pisces rushed in and said, “Commander, something big happened!”It must be a truly big deal to make Pisces so anxious.Thomas shook his head and laughed bitterly. “I knew it. Dragon Claw wouldn’t give me any time to rest. Sit down and start from the beginning.”He drew a chair over and sat down, pouring himself a cup of tea.Pisces hurriedly brought a laptop over and set it on the table. After that, he went to the news websites.He clicked open the terrifying news one by one and showed them to Thomas. ‘Bright red two-headed snake spotted in a bar. Many were bitten, deaths unknown.’‘Workers of a games workshop in critical condition after an attack of two-headed snakes.’‘Twelve people were bitten by ven
However, Declan’s credibility remained untouched, and when he made that statement, Celandine City was completely thrown into disarray. Declan was still not done talking.“Not long ago, I once said that Thomas's fate happened to stand in the way Celandine City's destiny, and it will eventually destroy the city’s luck,” he continued. “Later, the old abbot of Harmony Monastery stated that Thomas is actually our savior, and he has come to save Celandine City.“With these two statements, we honestly couldn’t tell who’s right or wrong right now.“Well now, the ‘opportunity’ has arrived.“Anyone with a pair of eyes can see that this two-headed snake is a demon from hell that has come to destroy Celandine City's destiny and luck!“If Thomas truly is our savior, he should come forth and heal all those who have been hurt, as well as solve the venomous snake incident. But if he can’t, it proves that he isn't the savior and is an intolerable existence!”It was such a nasty move. If Thoma
No one knew how far down the title Emperor of Luck was inherited.They had finally caught Luck.Following that, Eric leaped into action and reeled in his haul as fast as he could. With that, all the remaining accomplices of Luck were caught in one fell swoop!The two million innocent citizens were saved, as all of them took the antidote.Once again, Thomas saved the day.In order to express their gratitude, the citizens decided to erect statues of Thomas in Celandine City and many other cities as well.In the House of Vistaria.Phoebe ran towards her father hurriedly. She then smiled at him and said, “What did I tell you, dad? Thomas will definitely turn things around, right? I won!”Declan was so agitated, that he started tearing up.Thomas was really too amazing. He was capable of turning things around, even in such a predicament.At the same time, the curse that had plagued the Mars family for over a thousand years was finally broken. From then onwards, Declan was finally
Luck was dumbfounded. Why was Thomas still alive and kicking?“No need to doubt your own eyes. I am indeed still alive.”The crowd parted, making way for a very familiar figure. It was Thomas, the very Thomas whom the public watched him die.As he walked, he said, “Our previous research has already reached ninety-nine percent completion. But no matter how hard we tried, the final one percent remained out of our grasp. At that time, I thought that perhaps the only way was to drink the Ancestral Water and experience the poison itself, which would allow me to have a breakthrough for the final one percent.“And that was what happened. I managed to do it.“After drinking the Ancestral Water, I finally understood what the one percent was and successfully created the antidote for Ancestral Water. Now that the antidote has been created, it will sever your connection with the Ancestral Water.“You will not be able to kill anyone anymore.“You have lost, Luck.”Lost?Luck's eyes were wi
It was obvious that Eric could not afford to take a gamble this time. But he had no choice. His only choice was to listen to whatever the other party said and prepare a helicopter in twelve hours’ time.That was not all. He was also supposed to request for his superiors to help Luck get out of the country.The thought of it made Eric furious.“Damn it!”He left in anger to deal with the rest of the matter.The sky of Celandine City was covered with clouds.The patriarch, Declan, was in his garden in the House of Vistaria. He stared at the withered flowers as he grieved.His entire life was spent supporting Mr. Cole in hopes that he would be able to create an antidote to Ancestral Water. But at the end of the day, Mr. Cole accomplished nothing.His two disciples — Capricious Holy Hand Elliot, and Thomas — were both dead.There was no one in the world who was capable of creating the antidote for Ancestral Water anymore.“Alas...” Declan sighed. It seemed that it was impossible
At that moment, the general public was suddenly dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. Everyone was down in the dumps.Many of those with poor psychological strength directly collapsed on the ground.They believed Thomas' death could be exchanged for their own safety, but who knew, in the end, they got nothing, and Luck, as usual, used their lives as a bargaining chip to force the authorities to listen to His Majesty's words.No antidote to Ancestral Water would ever be created by chance.The lives of people were still in His Majesty's hands.Whenever luck wanted them to die, they would die without any ability to resist.However, this was not the most frightening part. What was even more frightening than this was that the only person who could create the antidote to Ancestral Water had been forced to die alive by them.It would be impossible to create the antidote to Ancestral Water without Thomas.Mr. Cole and Elliot had all died, Thomas was the last person who mastered the
Eric sighed deeply, "Thomas, even though things have reached this point, you still remain so kind.""I have nothing to say except to choose death because the research failed." Thomas let out a long breath. "Before I die, I want to talk to my family on the phone."Originally, Emma and the others came to Celandine City because they wanted to be reunited with Thomas.Who knew it had turned into a life and death situation?The world was like a chess game; everything was unpredictable.When Thomas was video calling with his family, Emma was already bathed in tears at the other end. She was crying and shouting at Thomas to not be impulsive, and saying perhaps there was still room for things to turn around.That was what she thought, but it was not the case.Every minute Thomas dragged on, more people perished as the result of Ancestral Water, and the crowd’s fear and rage grew.Thomas’ life no longer belonged to him."Honey, take care of the baby."I love you."Those were Thomas’
For such demanding research, half a day was really too short.Thomas had recruited the best doctors and researchers he could find to work on a detailed study of Ancestral Water.In the past, it was difficult to achieve breakthroughs in the research on Ancestral Water. That was because figuring out how to create an antidote for the Ancestral Water was challenging. On the other hand, it was also because obtaining the Ancestral Water was incredibly difficult. Because they only had a few samples, the results were underwhelming.However, it was different now. Because the entire city's water supply had been turned into Ancestral Water, they were able to collect the samples at their convenience. This made it much easier for Thomas and the others to get the materials.With Thomas in charge, hundreds of researchers were conducting a massive study in just half a day. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.Thomas still failed. “We almost got it.“We were so close to makin
How sinister. “All we want is nothing but—safety.“As long as we’re safe, we definitely won’t make it difficult for everyone. If we’re safe, no one will die.“Now then, I have a small request to make to ensure everyone’s safety.“I demand that Thomas drink Ancestral Water immediately! This person is a real hassle for His Majesty, and we must keep him under our control for our own protection. Please forgive us for the inconvenience.“We'll only give everyone half a day to consider this. The emperor will begin killing people if Thomas does not step forward and drink Ancestral Water by this afternoon.“Okay. I've said everything I wanted to say. Goodbye.” The TV screen went dark, and so did Eric's face.He kicked the trash can over and said fiercely, “What is this? You're the only person in the world who can create an antidote for Ancestral Water’s poison, Thomas!“Once you drink Ancestral Water, you’ll be controlled by them!“Won't you have to obey Luck's every command by the
After listening to Thomas’ description, Eric also displayed a look of shock and said two words, “As expected.”What did he mean by, as expected?Was it possible that Eric knew that Luck was behind it from the start?“Thomas, follow me.”Eric took Thomas into an empty ward and locked the door. The two sat in the corner of the ward.He whispered, “There is a piece of news that I haven’t announced to the public, that is, besides Celandine City, there are more than ten cities that have problems. Do you know which cities they are?”Thomas’ eyes lit up. He already knew what Eric wanted to say.At the previous meeting, Eric had clearly stated that more than ten cities across the country had been controlled by Luck. Now, there happened to have more than ten cities where residents had been poisoned.Was there such a coincidence?Thomas said, “The residents are poisoned by Ancestral Water. Over ten cities are all under the control of Luck’s forces, so it is almost a certainty that Luck
“I didn’t. I saw the news early in the morning and was shocked. I haven’t dared to drink a sip of water until now.” Pisces took a deep breath and said, “Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster? It’s really terrible.”No matter whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it was no small matter.Soon, Thomas drove to the hospital.Eric had been waiting here for a long time. As soon as he saw Thomas coming, he quickly let him enter the ward.He saw a patient lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed, and his body was trembling. Although it was very hot, he was as cold as if he had just been lifted out of the freezer.A doctor walked over and said, “Mr. Mayo, let me tell you the general overview of the current situation.”The virus was spread through water sources.After drinking water with the virus, the virus would lurk in the human body.However, lurking did not mean that it would cause an outbreak.At present, over one hundred thousand people had b
