The laboratory was equipped with all kinds of experimental equipment. There were component meters, flasks, titration tubes, balance scales, low-light hourglasses and so on. Of course, there were also microscopes that Dudian cared about the most.
“Did you buy these from a black shop?”Dudian asked.
Black mage nodded.
Dudian picked up a few experimental equipment that he couldn’t recognize and asked black mage for their use. The black mage whispered to answer him one by one. His face regained confidence. He was a professional in this experimental field. Moreover, as a black mage, he was studying the existence of the life technique. He had a sense of superiority in his bones like other peers. Even in the face of the experts from the abyss, his heart was filled with disdain.
Dudian went around and found that the instruments in the laboratory were used in biological and chemical research. He was very satisfied. This saved him a lot of time. He went to the microscope, he took out a drop of his blood as a sample and carefully observed it under the microscope.
Black mage looked at Dudian who was concentrating on the microscope. His eyes flashed slightly. There was a hint of killing intent in his eyes. However there was a trace of fear in his eyes when he saw the end of Dudian’s spine, he didn’t know if Dudian was testing him again. But he estimated that this was not the best time to assassinate him. Dudian would be shocked by this great magic tool and exclaim.
He was waiting.
However, after waiting for a moment, Dudian seemed to be asleep. He didn’t move and was still focused on looking at the microscope.
He slightly frowned. His heart was a bit conflicted. He felt that he couldn’t understand Dudian’s thoughts.
After ten minutes, Dudian slowly raised his head. His expression was fluctuating. Sometimes he was shocked and sometimes he was confused. If not for the previous repeated confirmation, he really suspected that he was wrong!
Blood cells and plasma were the main components of blood. But in his blood, in addition to these two basic substances, there was a small cell. It was light black. The cell was not round but bullet-shaped. It was very sharp. It pierced into the blood cells and fused into them, just like the fusion of sperm and eggs! After accepting the light black cone-shaped cells, the color of the blood cells became dark. A black outline could be seen inside as if it was pregnant with something. The color of the blood cells was also changing, the surface of the blood cells slowly grew sharp black thorns like sea urchins.
One by one, the blood cells were drilled into the cone-shaped cells. They continued to fuse as if they were infected by a virus.
The speed was medium. Dudian couldn’t help but think of his own body. At this moment, all the blood in his body was being fused by the black cone-shaped cells. His body was constantly changing!
This kind of feeling made his scalp tingle. He felt panic in his heart. No matter who felt that he couldn’t control the change, they would be afraid — afraid of losing themselves!
However, the black cone cells were only the mysterious third substance in his blood. He found that the composition of his blood was very different from that of a normal human. There was a small amount of plasma protein in his blood, however, it contained a large amount of hydrochloric acid.
In other words, that substance could not be called hydrochloric acid. The salt and acid base were only the main components of the substance. In addition, there were also substances that he could not recognize mixed within. All of them were combined together, this made the hydrochloric acid in the blood plasma extremely corrosive. It was even more terrifying than sulfuric acid. However, the amazing thing was that the hydrochloric acid in the blood plasma did not corrode the glass pieces that he took from the blood.
It was more like a devouring property than a corrosive property. This property had no effect on inanimate substances but it was a deadly poison to other life forms!
“Is this the Sequela of the Crimson Moon Experiment? Could it be the material of Aragami?”Dudian’s eyes flashed as he pondered for a moment. He turned to black mage: “Call one of your guards in.”
The black mage was startled. He didn’t know what Dudian’s intention was but he left the laboratory. He summoned a guard from the cloister.
The guard in Black Robe entered the laboratory. He lifted his hood and revealed a snow white face. It was a beautiful woman wearing crystal earrings. She had an elegant temperament, she quickly glanced at the scene in the laboratory. She lowered her head and looked at the black mage: “My Lord, what are your orders?”
The black mage looked at dudian.
Dudian got up from the chair in front of the microscope. He slowly walked to the front of the beautiful woman: “Raise Your Hand.”
The woman was stunned. She looked at the black mage who was next to her. The latter nodded to her.
The woman didn’t dare to ask any more questions. She raised her hand. There was a shiny bracelet hanging on her white wrist.
Dudian’s face was cold. He grabbed her hand. He cut her hand as she blushed.
“Ah!”The woman shouted. She saw Dudian’s palm had retracted. There was a bloody mark on her palm.
She looked up at the tall and handsome Dudian. There was a look of grievance on her face.
Dudian raised his hand. The fingernail on his other hand rose a few inches. He gently cut a wound on his finger and squeezed it. Soon, a few drops of blood fell from the wound, the blood dripped onto the wound on the woman’s palm.
Dudian put the cut finger into his mouth and took a sip. When he took it out, the wound on his finger had already healed. At this time, the woman suddenly cried out in pain. Her body bent down and took two steps back. White smoke was coming out from the wound on her palm.
She wanted to pinch her hand but Dudian quickly grabbed her wrist. He brought her to his front and carefully looked at her.
The woman felt the burning pain in her palm. She knew that the black mage had been doing experiments for many years. Although Dudian was wearing linen clothes but his temperament was extraordinary. She naturally wouldn’t treat him as an ordinary person, moreover from the Black Mage’s performance it was very likely that they were his peers. They were using her as an experiment! She couldn’t help but struggle as she thought of the terrifying experiments of the black mage. She wanted to pull her hand back.
Dudian frowned as he raised his hand.
Puff!
The woman’s hand was broken from the elbow. The cut was smooth.
The woman fell back. She screamed as she saw Dudian holding the beautiful hand.
Dudian turned back and went back to the microscope. He adjusted the distance of the microscope and put the woman’s hand which was emitting white smoke under the microscope. He observed it from the microscopic world.
He was stunned.
After a moment he slowly looked up. There was no shock on his face because everything was as he had expected. The woman’s hand only confirmed his speculation — his blood could devour the cells of other creatures!
In short, his blood was equal to sulfuric acid for other creatures!
If he didn’t cut off the woman’s hand and let his blood corrode, her life would be lost. It was just a matter of time.
“Is this the God’s blood created by Crimson Moon?”Dudian’s face changed. Even he himself felt that it was terrifying. Just a drop of blood was enough to kill her.
As he was thinking, the white hand by the microscope quickly rotted and dried up. More white smoke came out of the surface. The area of the rot spread from the palm to the entire palm and quickly extended to the wrist.
Black mage was stunned. He could guess the reason but he didn’t dare to believe it.
A moment later, the beautiful hand completely rotted. Even the bones had turned pitch black. The bones were stuck with black mucus. It was bent like a few black leeches.
The white crystal bracelet was hanging on the wrist bone without any damage. It was particularly eye-catching.
Dudian also noticed the change. He didn’t expect that in less than ten minutes his blood would burn the arm of a limiter. He saw the pure black and crystal mucus. He took out a pair of tweezers from the side, he picked up a bit and smeared it on the glass. He took it to the microscope and observed it.
As he thought, the black mucus was the black cone-shaped substance in the blood. The cone-shaped cells were like black holes. They devoured all the cells on the woman’s hand but didn’t leave any residue, it was as if all the swallowed cells were transported to another world.
Dudian felt goosebumps all over his body. He couldn’t help but look at the few drops of blood that he had taken out earlier. The color of the blood was dry and black. It was the same as the black mucus!
“Don’t tell me that I will be swallowed by this thing in the end?”Dudian’s heart was scared. He took the few drops of blood and continued to observe.
Soon, he found that his blood was different from the black mucus on the woman’s hand. His blood still maintained the appearance of blood cells. However, the red blood cells and platelets in these blood cells were swallowed, the blood cells were like a black sea urchin. The surface of the blood cells was covered with sharp thorns. It looked like a very dangerous virus.
Dudian frowned. He cut his palm and observed it under the microscope.
Half an hour later, he was relieved. Although the blood in his wound had been swallowed and turned into the strange appearance of a Black Sea Urchin, but the mutated blood would still touch the oxygen in the air, it would bring vitality to the body.
He knew that sooner or later all the blood in his body would mutate. But he didn’t know what would happen to him after the mutation.
Perhaps, Crimson Moon didn’t know about this change.
Black mage looked at Dudian as he studied his body. There was a strange look on his face. There was deep fear in his eyes. He felt that compared to himself, Dudian was more like a monster.
The woman who had lost her hand was curled up by the door. She didn’t shout. She knew that doing so would only make her die faster. After all, the patience of a superior would never be used on a lowly person like her unless she had other intentions.
By the second half of the night, Dudian had more or less understood his blood. He continued to collect samples from his body. For example, his right arm which had been frozen before.
Now his right arm had been defrosted and returned to the appearance of a normal person’s arm. It seemed that the cold air in his arm had been digested and his arm had regained consciousness. Through the observation of the microscope, Dudian found that there was no difference in the structure of the right arm and the left arm. The frozen right arm which had troubled him for many years was miraculously solved after the experiment of Crimson Moon.
Dudian tried to look for his magic marks but he couldn’t find any magic marks.
“It is not enough to rely on a microscope. The mitochondria are not detected. It seems that more advanced instruments are needed.”Dudian sat in front of the microscope. His biggest harvest tonight was to understand the changes in his blood, he was mentally prepared.
“Lord, it is almost dawn.”Black mage whispered.
Dudian recovered from his thoughts and glanced at him: “Don’t sleep today. Accompany me to the black shop.”
Black mage was startled: “Lord, the black shop usually opens at night.”
“Then accompany me to go shopping.”Dudian indifferently said.
Black mage slightly opened his mouth. He bitterly smiled and agreed.
The woman who was hiding by the door couldn’t help but stare at Dudian. She didn’t expect that black mage who was like a devil in her heart would call this young man “Master”.
Dudian was ready to go out when he noticed the woman who was stunned by the door. He frowned: “Go and bandage the wound. Don’t get infected.”
The woman was stunned. She didn’t expect that Dudian would care about her. She was touched. She knew that her hand was cut off by the young man but she was touched by his words.
However she calmed down and quickly complied.
Dudian opened the door and gestured to the black mage: “Go ahead.”
The corner of the black mage’s mouth twitched. He wanted to secretly signal the woman to send the message. But it seemed that it was impossible.
Dudian didn’t go back to his room after he left the underground laboratory. The sky was still dark. There was still an hour before daybreak. He followed the black mage to his room and asked him to take out some gold coins, he asked about buying equipment in the black shop. He found out that he didn’t need gold coins but the exclusive currency of the Dark Temple.
Black gold was a special metal that was refined by the black mage. It was used as currency in the black shop. It was very hard and more expensive than gold.
“Black gold can be exchanged with points and magic tools. It can also be exchanged with gold coins. The exchange rate for gold coins is 10:1. Ten gold coins for one black gold coin. The ‘Microscopic Mirror’that your excellency used just now costs 90,000 black gold coins. It is equivalent to 900,000 gold coins. It is enough to buy half of the street’s industry.”The black mage introduced to Dudian.
Dudian asked: “How much are the properties of the Bourne family worth?”
Black mage was surprised: “Are you going to sell all of Barret’s properties?”
“Why do you have to answer my questions?”Dudian frowned.
Black Mage’s face stiffened as he coughed, “Yes, the total value of the property of the Bourne family is estimated to be millions of gold coins. But most of the properties are commercial land and some mines. It is very difficult to sell them. Moreover, they are legal people. It is very difficult to take them away. They have to go through the procedures of the magistrate. It is very strict to check the prices of real estate. Generally, private transactions are not allowed. The tax for private transactions is very high. It is equivalent to making money for them.”
