Chapter 419 Origin (2)
Every day in life is actually ordinary. What makes it extraordinary is what happens on that day.
Already experienced this twice on Sunday.
For the first time, I, who originally had a great life, became disabled due to a painless fever, and my life took a turn.
And the second time is this moment.
The strange plant brought by Meng Zhen got into his blind left eye socket and grew in his body in an almost parasitic manner.
And the consequence turned out to be...his eyes healed.
A week later, Meng Zhen came back from the city. After listening to Zhou Tian, whose eyes had recovered, carefully recounting her experience, she fell silent.
"So you think your eyes healed because of these plants?" Meng Zhen asked.
"It can't be said that it is cured, it just restored its original function." Zhou Tian said after pondering for a moment.
Although I can see with my left eye now, this kind of "seeing" seems a little different from what I felt before.
It's not clearer, nor blurry, but...the left eye always seems to be able to vaguely see some vague outlines on the human body.
It was really hard for him to understand.
"What about the ears?" Meng Zhen asked again.
Zhou Tian shook his head. He didn't find it strange at all. If it was the effect of that weird plant, it was normal for his ears to still be unable to hear. After all, it only took root in his eyes and had nothing to do with his ears.
"I think if you want to continue studying these plants, you can try me."
Zhou Tian said.
Meng Zhen looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Tian nodded. He was not joking, nor was he doing it to fulfill Meng Zhen's research. He had no noble reason.
It's just that... he saw the hope of getting rid of his disability completely. He needed these "grasses". If the ear could be parasitized and it could restore the function of the ear, Zhou Tian would be happy to be a guinea pig for once.
Meng Zhen didn't ask any more questions, but carefully checked his eyes. The plant that penetrated into his eye sockets and took root on the surface of the eyeballs had completely disappeared.
"You have to think clearly about letting something like this, whose origin is not clear at all, enter your body. Even if it has not shown any harm to you so far, the risk itself is still very high, and you may even die from it."
Meng Zhen said seriously.
Zhou Tian thought for a while and said, "I still want to continue doing experiments and use my body."
"There is no soil to nourish them in our world, but the human body seems to be able to do so. I don't want to give up."
Meng Zhen said nothing more.
But at this time, Zhou Tian suddenly asked: "So, can you tell me how you discovered it, and how did you know that it would probably kill me?"
Meng Zhen was speechless. She knew that Zhou Tian was smart and sharp, but she didn't expect that he could pick up the clues just from her casual words.
But that's right, these weird plants have not shown any aggression at all so far, but have reversed Zhou Tian's health problems.
But he mentioned that it might kill someone...
Meng Zhen retracted her thoughts. Now that the matter was over, she had already acquiesced that this smart young man would be her fellow traveler.
She...does need him, and she does need someone to bear the secrets she knows.
"Because my parents died because of them."
Meng Zhen whispered.
Zhou Tian frowned: "Did he die because of the process of obtaining it, or did he die because of its own strangeness?"
"It's because of itself..." Meng Zhen finally got rid of his guard, "Don't worry, this is not a treasure that is fought over by many forces. My parents are just a pair of ordinary geologists. This thing is what they found in the city. Found in the cave below.”
"The city you are talking about is..."
"Yecheng."
After talking, Meng Zhen looked much more relaxed.
"After my parents found them under the city, they immediately started researching them. They came to the same conclusion as us. These plants are alive, but they do not belong to our world. The way they absorb nutrients is unknown. In what kind of It is unknown whether it was born under the ecological environment.”
"So, they decided to go back to the place where they found these things, which is the cave under Yecheng, to check again."
"Later...they disappeared."
Meng Zhen was still calm, but the longing in his words was still strong. "I know they are in danger, but I can't just forget about it and start a new life."
"At the same time, because of the disappearance of my parents, the Yecheng police also intervened in the investigation. I don't want these plants to be taken away by them. These things may be the only clues to find their whereabouts."
She took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Tian: "So, I brought them here to continue research on it in the name of new crop experiments."
After Zhou Tian listened carefully, he was a little puzzled: "You still haven't explained why you think they will kill me."
Meng Zhen stood up and walked to his backpack, leaned over and rummaged for a while, took out a notebook and handed it to Zhou Tian.
"This is a record of my parents. Although they didn't understand what it was, they recorded the strangeness when they found it."
Zhou Tian opened his notebook.
After reading it quickly, he fell silent.
Strictly speaking, this is not a research record, but more like a diary.
The most useful information recorded in it is the record of the discovery of these plants.
According to the description of Meng Zhen's parents, these things grew on the edge of a cave that emitted gray-white fluorescence, and the surrounding area of the cave was... full of remains.
Not beasts, but human bones.

The real world, right now.
Bai Yanliang and Bai Yanren stood in Song Que's home and were speechless for a moment after listening to Song Que's words.
One is becoming a human being, and the other is becoming what?
The silence didn't last long.
Bai Yanren took the initiative to break the silence. He looked at Song Que, or more accurately, looked into his eyes: "I want your eyes."
"You want to dig it up?" Song Que was not afraid.
Bai Yanren didn't talk nonsense, and was about to step forward, but saw Bai Yanliang stepping forward first.
"Have your eyes ever been sick?" Bai Yanliang asked.
Song Que frowned slightly, and at this moment, an old voice came from outside.
"Yes, Master Bai, the young master suffered from eye disease when he was young. It was a doctor and his wife who cured the young master."
Song Que's eyes widened slightly: "Why didn't I know?"
"You know, young master, there are photos with them in your study. They are my friends... I have received a lot of research funding from my master."
Song Que seemed to have realized something. His eyes... were not born with any differences. So, were they the result of acquired changes?
He immediately turned around and ran towards the study.
Bai Yanliang followed closely, and Bai Yanren followed without saying a word.
The search process was not complicated. The photo frame with the group photo was placed high on the bookshelf. Because Song Que didn't like to read, he had basically left this bookshelf untouched. This was the first time he knew that there was a photo placed here. in the photo frame.
Bai Yanliang stood beside Song Que and looked at the photo.
There are not many people in the picture. Song Que's father is a middle-aged man with neatly styled hair.
Then there are two people, a man and a woman.
However, the moment he saw the man and the woman, Bai Yan's conscience was shaken!
Although the man's age has changed somewhat, if you look closely, his facial features are still obvious... It's Zhou Tian!
And women...
Kaoru.
It's Kaoru!
The woman who appeared in Xuejie Village at the last moment when the Wuji world collapsed, the woman who possessed Liu Ruonan...
The future that he traveled to through the door of No. 18 Middle School, the woman who was inexplicably close to him, but called Dr. Zhou "father"...
"Xun, why is she here?" Bai Yanliang's mind was in confusion.
At this time, the old housekeeper walked to the door of the study and slowly said:
"Master Bai, you may have recognized the wrong person."
"The woman in this photo, her name is Meng Zhen."
