When the magic flower blooms

The contents of the following files completely confirmed Ming Ruoxing's previous guess.

The search and rescue personnel sent the strange egg to the research institute of the Asian Security Bureau for inspection, and concluded that this is an extremely rare "subhuman egg".

Almost all mammals in the world are viviparous.The only two egg-laying mammals exist in remote Australia.Regardless of ordinary humans or sub-humans, they are absolutely viviparous species.

But looking at the history of the world, this is not the only "subhuman egg".

There are legends about oviparous subhumans, which can be traced back to ancient times.And so far there are facts that can be tested, and it has happened more than [-] times one after another.

There are even quite a few prominent families in the subhuman world who claim that their ancestors were oviparous subhumans, and enshrined eggshells decorated with gold and jewels in the shrines of the ancestral temples, but almost without exception refused to take samples from researchers.

Why is the concept of "egg birth" so popular?After thinking about it a little bit, Ming Ruoxing soon understood.

Ordinary demihumans, including Ming Ruoxing himself, have been in human form since their birth.Since then, the ability of animal genes has begun to show at different growth stages according to the quality of bloodlines and differences in varieties.

Oviparous demihumans are different.It was hatched from an egg in the form of an animal, and it possessed subhuman abilities as soon as it was born, so it can be said to be the true favored child of heaven.

But misfortune and good fortune often go hand in hand.These egg-laying demihumans not only need to hatch inside the eggs for a long time, but also need special care after hatching.

In the case of limited medical conditions in ancient times, only a few oviparous demihumans could survive the initial "prototype period".After the "prototype period" is over, danger is still everywhere.Those who can successfully become adults are naturally the best among thousands.

Ming Ruoxing turned over this page of files and continued to read.

After confirming that the eggs in the incubator belonged to Asians, the childcare experts from the Asian Orphanage took over the hatching work, while the Asian Security Bureau continued to investigate the real identity of the driver who died in the car accident.

Twenty-eight years ago, the universal DNA registration system had not yet been implemented.In the database of the Asian Security Agency, there are only entry data provided by criminals and family members of missing persons.After comparison, there is no matching result.

The case was ultimately determined to be a one-sided traffic accident.It is worth noting that the body of the deceased was originally going to be cremated as an anonymous person, but was involved in a car accident during the transfer process, and then disappeared mysteriously and his whereabouts are unknown.

It was precisely because of this episode that the Asian Security Bureau immediately blocked the news about the demi-human eggs and sent people to closely guard them.

The demihuman egg continued to hatch steadily after the car accident, and finally broke out on the seventh day.

"..."

Ming Ruoxing's eyes fell on the photo attached at the bottom of the file.

The photo appears to have been re-photographed and is therefore slightly blurred.However, it can still be seen that the egg with a metallic luster has been split in two.Protruding its head from inside was a small king cobra covered in mucus, staring at round black eyes, and sticking out half of its pink tongue.

Ming Ruoxing laughed silently—it turned out that this was the first photo left by Naga in this world.

The day when the little snake broke its shell was October 10, which also happened to be the "summer festival" of the year.An expert who believed in Buddhism in the kindergarten named him "Naga", which means the snake god.

After the shell was broken, Naga, who was still in the "prototype stage", stayed in the incubator of the orphanage for another two weeks.Received 7x24 hours of uninterrupted care from several childcare experts.

On the day it was announced that he could leave the incubator, someone from the research institute extracted Naga's DNA and did a genetic identification with the body of the driver of the car accident.

Perhaps because the driver's body was severely damaged in the fire, the test results seemed a bit strange.However, it can be preliminarily determined that there seems to be some kind of matrilineal blood relationship between the deceased and the Naga.In other words, it is very likely that they are relatives on Naga's mother's side.

But this is the only clue.

There are mysteries of identity, which remain unsolved.Yet at the same time, life itself is constantly thriving.

Naga's "prototype period" lasted about a month.A month later, he turned into a baby boy for the first time.

A number of subsequent physical examinations and tests showed that he not only possessed the S-level King Cobra bloodline, but also had another S-level gene lurking in his body—Gyrfalcon.

No one knows what kind of parents can produce such a good offspring of such bloodlines.But one thing is certain: According to the laws of the demihuman society, the guardianship and custody of Naga belonged entirely to the orphanage.

The Institute's follow-up research on Naga lasted for five years.Five years later, because Naga's growth and development were not much different from ordinary demi-human children, scientific research and the search for his origins came to an end at the same time.

But the orphanage did not ignore Naga's double-S blood, provided him with special education since he was a child, and sent him to Yinshan when he was six or seven years old.

After that, Ming Ruoxing almost knew everything.

This file basically records He Tiansi's past completely, but the most critical question has not been answered - where is the connection point with Jinyu Village?

Ming Ruoxing continued to read back.The file ends with an appendix.It includes a list of some items at the scene of the car accident and the data of Naga's infant health check.Flipping through the pages, Ming Ruoxing's eyes stopped on an old photo that was also blurry.

That's a photo in a constant temperature incubator.In addition to a fleece blanket, there is another thing that makes Ming Ruoxing feel familiar at a glance.

It was a bony scale the size of half a palm.If you hadn't seen something similar underground in Goldfish Village, it would most likely be considered a hand-polished handicraft.The ends of the scales are perforated and worn with a small string of tassels, which seems to be some kind of ornament.

Yes, it made sense now - because the law deprived Naga's family of his custody rights, the orphanage would naturally isolate Naga from all information about his family.

Five years ago, the Naga's security ranks rose within the ASA.The files he's allowed to see expand, and he discovers secrets about his own parentage.And it was because of this ornament that he developed a desire to explore the mermaids, and after digging a little bit, he finally discovered the existence of Goldfish Village.

It turned out that from the very beginning, Jinyu Village was not a paradise suitable for seclusion...

So, what stage did Naga reach in his investigation before losing his memory?

The more he thought about it, the more creepy he felt, and Ming Ruoxing immediately came up with another idea—if He Tiansi had been investigating his own background all the time.Then, among the personal belongings left by him, will there still be notes on the investigation?

The reasoning has come to an end, Ming Ruoxing decisively began to practice.

Naga's previous belongings are now stored on the second floor with other sundries.Ming Ruoxing took off his slippers, walked up the stairs with bare feet, and walked lightly towards the storage room.

The careful and meticulous work done during the previous move takes advantage at this time.Although there are many cartons in the storage room, the contents are roughly marked on the outside of almost every box.The only two unwritten ones belong to the Naga.

Ming Ruoxing took the two big boxes out, cut off the seal, and took out the contents one by one to inspect again.Mainly magazines, books, clothes, shoes and some miscellaneous items, but no such items as mobile phones, computers and notebooks.

Thinking about it carefully, it is true. If He Tiansi is allowed to come into contact with objects with past memories, it is likely to cause unnecessary troubles.These things should have been kept elsewhere, or it is very likely that they are still in the hands of the Research Institute of the Asian Security Bureau.

But this is a bit troublesome.

Ming Ruoxing was a little upset, but his hands were still arranging the things in the box habitually.Suddenly, an inconspicuous small black velvet box appeared in front of his eyes.

Ming Ruoxing recognized this kind of small square box, because he also had several.Logically speaking, this is used to place meritorious service medals.But obviously, the meritorious service medal belonging to Naga will never appear in He Tiansi's home.

With a thought, Ming Ruoxing immediately opened the box, and what appeared in front of his eyes was indeed what he expected to see.

A thick scale with a tassel attached.

For some reason, the moment I saw this scale.Ming Ruoxing felt that his breathing became heavy.

Although there is no evidence yet, the most reasonable inference so far is that He Tiansi is the descendant of the survivors of the Jinyu Village tragedy.

So is there any connection between the various abnormalities in He Tiansi's body today and the tragedy of that year?

The truth is getting deeper and deeper, and imagination seems to be starting to be scarce.Just when Ming Ruoxing decided to give up the entanglement for the time being and go back downstairs to sleep, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind him.

It must not be Boss Bai, then it must be He Tiansi.

Without time to think carefully, Ming Ruoxing quickly put the scales into the pocket of his pajamas, then closed the carton and pushed it back to its original position.Just after finishing these things, he heard the door behind him being pushed open.

"Xiao Ming...? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

This title, this tone is indeed He Tiansi's, but the hoarse voice does not seem to be He Tiansi's voice.

Ming Ruoxing turned around in astonishment, and saw He Tiansi wearing light blue fleece pajamas and pajamas, leaning against the door frame, with one hand reaching into his jacket and scratching his belly.

"I'm looking for something temporarily." Ming Ruoxing replied perfunctorily, but paid serious attention, "What's wrong with your voice? Does your throat feel uncomfortable?"

"Oh...it seems a bit."

He Tiansi immediately cleared his throat, but there was no major change, "It was fine before going to bed."

"Did you catch a cold? Is the sliding door in the patio closed tightly?"

Ming Ruoxing immediately got up and walked over, put his hand on He Tiansi's forehead, it seemed a little hot.

"Does your throat hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"Is your nose blocked?"

"Not blocked."

"Does your body feel cold?"

"No...it seems that I still feel hot."

The symptoms did not seem typical, but Ming Ruoxing was not negligent.He grabbed He Tiansi with one hand and led him all the way away from the unheated second floor.Back in the bright and warm living room, he ordered He Tiansi to sit on the sofa and wrapped him in a thin quilt.

Later, the results of the thermometer showed that He Tiansi's body temperature was indeed slightly higher than normal.But Ming Ruoxing also observed his throat, and found no signs of redness and inflammation.

Treating the sick, preventing the sick, Ming Ruoxing immediately brought water and pills and urged He Tiansi to take them, and then drove him back to the bedroom to lie down.Unexpectedly, He Tiansi turned over and suddenly pushed him down on the sofa, lowered his head and sniffed at his neck.

"Ming...you smell so delicious. I really want to swallow you up...can you let me take a bite? Hmm..."

Ming Ruoxing's face was flushed and his heart was beating when he rubbed against him. He wanted to push with both hands but didn't dare to push, so he half-pushed and half-placed between the two of them.

He originally hoped that the drowsiness effect of the cold medicine would kick in to relieve himself of this problem.But who knew that the more He Tiansi rubbed, the more vigorous he was, he directly threw the thin quilt wrapped around his body to the ground, clinging to Ming Ruoxing's body, and gently gnawed at the glands on the back of his neck.

Suddenly, Ming Ruoxing seemed to smell it too, there was indeed a fragrance lingering around the two of them.

But that wasn't the scent of citrus flowers, let alone emanating from Ming Ruoxing's body.

That was He Tiansi's smell!
