At 10 o'clock that night, in the laboratory on Skull Island, Merlin, who was wearing a chemical protective suit, looked seriously at the four experimental cabins lined up in front of him.Just now, he personally injected the mutation potion configured by Vivien into the bodies of the four monkeys in front of him.These potions have been reconfigured according to Vivien's "spiral effect" theory, allowing both the release potential and the somatic mutation to work at the same time.As a result, after ten minutes of waiting, the four monkeys in front of them entered the mutation stage almost at the same time.They all have hair loss, edema, and under their skin, it seems that there are countless small bulges moving, and the scene looks very terrifying.This means that the mutant agent, which has been disrupted by the injection sequence, is in effect.The potential of their bodies is being unlocked, and the heterocentric added to the mutant agent is also quietly changing their life form."
We haven't seen much change yet."
Beside Merlin, Vivien held the experiment log, and every 20 minutes, she would record the condition of the subject.She was also wearing a chemical hazmat suit, and said to Merlin: "It may take another 1-2 days to see if the weird metal you brought is useful."
You can go and rest first. ”"It should be useful."
Merlin looked at the test chambers numbered 3 and 4, where the monkeys were restrained in their arms had been cut open, and in the wounds, different quantities of silver-gray metal had been injected.That's what Merlin found from the remains of the claws of the owl court, a mysterious metal that can lock on to life energy."
I can feel it."
Merlin said to Vivien, "The monkeys' health energy is changing, and the pain is weakening their own vitality, but compared to the uninfused metal-infused samples, the vitality of No. 3 and No. 4 has barely decreased...
The metal worked. ”"Indeed."
Vivien turned her head to look at the life monitor beside her, on the screen of the instrument, four lines representing different test subjects were beating, compared to the stability of the last two, the fluctuation of the first two lines was indeed very violent."
But what is that metal?
Merlin. ”Dr.
Vivien frowned as she watched the extremely unscientific scene in front of her.She was a biologist, and she could accept that the potion that Merlin brought could change the form of life, because she knew that there were aliens, and she knew that they were very different from humans.The use of heterogeneous genes as mutation inducers can indeed be genetically modified in the human body.This is a phenomenon that can be explained by scientific knowledge.But a few strange pieces of metal can "lock" life activities, which is really a bit too unscientific.It's as unscientific as the magic Merlin uses."
I don't know."
Merlin replied, "It's been less than a day since I got this metal, and I just know that it has the ability to lock in life force."
But maybe we can figure it out from someone else. ”He and Vivien left the laboratory and took off their hazmat suits, he looked at Skull Island in the night, and said to Vivien, "I'll go find some people who have lived a long time and have studied the occult to see if they have ever seen this metal."
You keep in touch with me at all times, and let me know as soon as the results of the experiment are available. ”"Hmm."
Vivien nodded, and she said, "I have a hunch that this time I may indeed come to a conclusion, but the problem is that what works on monkeys doesn't mean that it will work 100% on humans, and besides, you don't seem to have found a test subject who volunteered to participate." ”"I'll find out."
Merlin raised his wrist and looked at the time, and he said, "It's not too early, you should rest."
Speaking of, Isn't it scary to stay alone on Skull Island?
NOT TO MENTION, THERE ARE MANY DANGEROUS CREATURES ON THIS ISLAND, AND EACH OF THEM CAN EAT YOU ALIVE. ”"Dobby will protect me."
Vivien flicked her hair, and she said nonchalantly, "That leprechaun can also do magic, doesn't he?"
It took me back to the UK from Skull Island a few days ago. ”"Oh?
Do you see Dobby?
”Merlin was surprised and asked, "You shouldn't be able to see it." ”"I use this!"
Vivien took a pair of women's sunglasses from her pocket and put them on her eyes, she said, "These sunglasses filter out a special light, so I can faintly see the silhouette of the leprechaun, and I feel somewhat relieved to know that there is a magical creature by my side to protect me."
However, once you're familiar with the ecology of Skull Island, you'll find that it's quite safe. ”The Doctor of Biology sent Merlin to the exit of the lab, and in the slightly cold night wind, she said to Merlin, "THIS IS KONG CONTROLLING EVERYTHING, AS LONG AS KONG ACCEPTS US AND STAYS AT THE EDGE OF THE ISLAND, THERE WILL BE ALMOST NO DANGER ON THE SIDE."
Last week, the elders of that indigenous village fell ill, and they sent them to me for help, knowing that we could cure them. ”Vivien narrowed her eyes and smiled happily, she said, "It's actually fun to deal with simple natives, and if you help them once, they'll treat you as a lifelong friend." ”"Well, it looks like you've found a way to survive here."
Merlin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Then I won't bother you, and I'll be notified as soon as there is news." ”"Hmm."
Vivien nodded, and Merlin turned her head and shouted to the empty dock not far away, "Dobby, protect Miss Vivien." ”Dobby, who was sitting there leisurely fishing with his wooden wand, raised his hand and made an OK gesture to his chief.Judging by the smile on its ugly face, this "little goblin" seems to be enjoying his life as an agent running around the world.Merlin nodded to Vivien, then cast a shapeshifting charm and left Skull Island in a distortion of light.After another series of rapid transformation charms, Merlin returned to New York, he freshened up a little, cleaned up his face, and then threw out a handful of green Floo powder in front of his fireplace, and in the green flames, Merlin stepped into the flames, and the next moment he was in the hall of the Magical Congress of New York."
I'm looking for Grand Wizard Samuel."
At this point in time, there were far fewer wizards coming and going from the Magic Congress, and in the slightly deserted hall, Merlin said to the fair-faced elven clerk at the front desk; "Make an appointment for me.""
Wait a minute, Wizard Merlin."
The elf gave Merlin a formulaic smile, she confirmed it with a special communication stone, and then said to Merlin, "Please take elevator 13, Speaker Samuel is waiting for you in the office." ”"Thank you."
Merlin nodded to the elf, and then took the laterally moving elevator, and after a quick move of more than ten seconds, came to the office of Grand Wizard Samuel.These old wizards have become accustomed to using meditation instead of sleep, and many of them have not really slept in a decade or even decades."
Lord Merlin, what wind brought you to me?"
The great wizard, who was always smiling, sat down in his chair and said to Merlin, "I guess you must have asked me for some help, right?"
”"Yes."
Merlin did not deny it, and said to the Grand Wizard gently, "This time I will turn to your erudition, Mr.
Samuel. ”He took a small piece of silver-gray metal from his pocket and placed it on Wizard Samuel's table, and said, "I found these things from a special place, they are very peculiar, they lock in the life force, I have consulted all the magic books I have, but there is no introduction to this thing.It's supposed to be some kind of curiosity, have you ever seen it?
”"Well, let me see it first."
Grand Wizard Samuel picked up his square glasses from the table, possibly reading glasses, anyway, he put them on, reached out and touched the soft metal, and after a few moments, the Grand Wizard took his wand and cast a spell on the metal.The silver-gray metal was suspended in the air, and under the delicate magic manipulation of Grand Wizard Samuel, it seemed to disintegrate quickly, and a mass of black substance was separated from the metal, and after a while, the soft metal completely turned into a liquid state, and under the wrapping of magic power, the liquid constantly changed shape in the air."
Oh, I see."
Samuel looked closely at the liquid metal, took out a black codex from the drawer, flipped through a few pages, then nodded, and said to Merlin, "This is Bacchus gold." ”"Bacchus?"
Merlin was a little confused and said, "Dionysus?
Greek mythology?

”"Yes, it's the Greek god."
Samuel leaned back in his chair, took off his glasses, and said to Merlin slowly, "But in fact this metal has nothing to do with the son of Zeus, our predecessors only named this rare metal after the god of wine."
You should know the story of the legendary Dionysus, right?
”"I know, I guess, it's called 'Dionysian Gold' because it's the same story as Dionysus, which stands for 'new birth'?"
Merlin asked rhetorically."
Yes, it's not."
The Great Wizard touched the silver-gray liquid metal in the air with his fingers, and said in a mysterious tone: "Bacchus gold was discovered more than 2,000 years ago, and the ancient Greek wizards found these metals with special effects deep underground, and the priests would use this metal for religious ceremonies.You may not know it, Merlin, in the past 1,000 years, all the legends related to the 'resurrection' have basically the shadow of the god of wine. ”"So what the hell is it?"
This is the problem when talking to old men, who often take the topic far away as a way to show their strong insight.Merlin was not interested in the legends of the past, and he asked directly, "What I want to know is, is this metal harmful to the human body?"
”"Didn't I say that?"
The Great Wizard waved his hand, and he said: "This is a substance born from the ground of this world, and some wizards speculate that Dionysian Gold should be the aggregation of a special life energy derived from the earth itself, which is equivalent to the 'vitality' that escapes from this world." ”"As you said, once combined with life, it locks in the life force of a creature, so that it is immune to the effects of time, and as long as it is not subjected to targeted attacks, it can live forever.In the eyes of those who yearn for eternal life, Bacchus Gold is the most perfect elixir in the world. ”"But it also has drawbacks."
The Great Wizard looked at the silver-gray liquid metal in front of him with some regret, and said: "The life lock attached to the Bacchus Gold is extremely flawed, it will quietly transform the host's body, and in the long run, the flesh and blood will be assimilated into structures similar to inorganic matter, like sand, stones, and so on.In that case, even though you are still alive, you are actually dead, and when you should die, when you want to die, you are helpless in the face of a life that is forcibly maintained and has no end in sight. ”"Moreover, the impure Bacchus Gold, after it has fully fused with the host, is quickly consumed, and it is used to lock in life at the expense of itself.Once the Bacchus Gold is consumed, the host's fixed life form will enter the cycle of aging again.Just like ordinary people are contaminated with some kind of addiction, that desire for immortality will make them continue to ingest Bacchus gold until they are finally completely assimilated into inorganic substances. ”Grand Wizard Samuel put the silver-gray liquid metal into a box, and said to Merlin: "It is said that only the purest Bacchus gold can achieve perfect 'eternal life', however, the wizards have searched all over the world for thousands of years, but they have not been able to find the purest Bacchus gold in theory...
It is highly likely that this perfect substance does not exist. ”"Well, as a reward for answering your question, this small group of impure Bacchus gold belongs to me.You're okay with that, right?
”"Nope."
Merlin said calmly, "I still have some."
But Lord Wizard, I have a question, suppose I have a fatal crisis, I take a small piece of Bacchus Gold to survive the crisis, when a small part of the Bacchus Gold is consumed, it will not affect my body too much, right?
”"Well, that's theoretical."
Samuel hesitated, "It's like a healing substance, like the medicine used by doctors in the Muggle world, it can save lives at critical moments, but there will also be sequelae, but compared to a life, this sequelae can be completely ignored." ”"Well, thanks for the answer, I don't have a problem."
Merlin stood up, nodded slightly to the Grand Wizard, and then exchanged a few words of greeting before leaving the Magic Congress.After returning home, Merlin reached out for his phone and called Vivien, who was far away on Skull Island, and said, "Vivian, I've confirmed the properties of that metal, but the steps of the experiment need to change when we move on to the next stage of human experimentation. ”"It would be best if the experimenters who received the mutation could survive the mutation process on their own, if they couldn't...""
Then Bacchus Gold is our last 'emergency measure'
