Chapter 1437 - 644: Scarcity
Chapter 1437 - 644: Scarcity
The Spirit and the Believer share the same body.
Fang Yu wants his second sister to be resurrected, to become an independent entity, rather than sharing a body with his second sister.
Of course, it’s not impossible; as long as the second sister is alive, that’s enough, even if she only lives inside his body.
But it wouldn’t be fair to the second sister; it’s merely a form of self-satisfaction.
Having a complete flesh and an independent body is how the second sister can truly be considered alive.
"You met Diao Ruru?"
Ding Hui inquired.
The use of the word "met" is somewhat inaccurate.
But Fang Yu understood Ding Hui’s meaning.
So, he nodded slowly.
"Second sister is still alive, inside me! You weren’t lying... she’s still... alive!!"
Fang Yu clenched his fist, feeling his eyes slightly moist.
It’s wonderful, second sister still...
"Whew—"
Ding Hui let out a big sigh of relief.
Earlier, she thought...
"Continue!" Fang Yu reached out excitedly.
Having just awakened the second sister, Fang Yu wanted to take advantage of the momentum and go further!
But...
"There’s no more." Ding Hui shook her head.
"What?!"
Fang Yu was startled.
"Did brother’s blood run out?"
"No, it’s just that the potion I mixed is only one bottle for now."
After all, Ding Hui is still exploring, not fully confident, so she made merely one experimental bottle to observe reactions before making adjustments.
Currently, the situation looks promising, but... it’s too short.
Yes, too short; Diao Ruru’s manifestation lasted only a matter of seconds.
In contrast, the remaining amount of Diao Ruonian’s blood isn’t much.
After all, it was extracted forcefully from scraps; how much more can be extracted is unknown.
But in general, Ding Hui can judge that this quantity is far from enough to fully awaken Diao Ruru.
"What’s up?" Fang Yu saw Ding Hui’s heavy and contemplative expression, immediately realizing the situation might not be optimistic.
Earlier, driven by excitement from second sister’s voice, he was too optimistic.
Now, seeing Ding Hui’s expression, he somewhat guessed the hint.
"Is it because there aren’t enough raw materials?"
Fang Yu put it tactfully; by raw materials, he naturally meant Diao Ruonian’s blood.
Ding Hui looked up at him, thought for a moment, and ultimately decided not to hide the truth from Fang Yu, nodding slowly.
"Indeed, the amount of Diao Ruonian’s blood extractable is just too little. I can mix a bit more, but at most, it will keep Diao Ruru’s consciousness awake a bit longer before she delves back into slumber."
Upon seeing hope, Fang Yu did not plan to give up easily.
Just a few seconds or minutes of consciousness for the second sister is far from meeting Fang Yu’s minimum requirements.
"Can it be cultivated like cloning, breeding a lot using Brother’s blood like bacteria."
This time, Ding Hui was baffled.
Cloning, she didn’t understand, but she approximately could grasp Fang Yu’s point.
"This isn’t easy. Simply increasing the blood isn’t challenging, but maintaining its integrity, preventing degradation or impurities during the process, is extremely difficult. Moreover, your brother, Diao Ruonian’s constitution isn’t ordinary; he’s naturally gifted with a unique dual-heart trait, though it doesn’t aid our research much, its specialty makes his blood quite distinct, complicating research."
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up; he excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Ding Hui’s shoulders.
"The difficulty implies there might be a way, right!"
Ding Hui averted her gaze; she almost whispered.
"Diao Deyi... I don’t want to deceive you; there is indeed a way, and even further, Diao Ruru could directly possess physical flesh, awakening from a new body. But... you likely won’t agree."
Fang Yu immediately responded: "How do you know I won’t agree? For my second sister, I’d do anything..."
"We need a medicine human."
"..."
Fang Yu was silent.
Or rather, Fang Yu froze.
A medicine... human?
The words uttered by Ding Hui left Fang Yu feeling somewhat horrified.
Because Ding Hui’s "medicine human" surely isn’t an ordinary one; otherwise, she wouldn’t have this serious demeanor.
Ding Hui looked up and earnestly met Fang Yu’s eyes.
"To be precise, we need to cultivate a medicine human unique to us, matching our requirements after being nurtured perfectly to replicate Diao Ruonian’s blood while possessing a body capable of housing the Bloodline Spirit’s consciousness transfer. It will serve as Diao Ruru’s vessel, becoming the new... Diao Ruru."
"But a medicine human... isn’t..."
"Precisely." Ding Hui calmly said: "A medicine human is made from a human with the necessary constitution, preserved into human-shaped medicinal materials. If we want to revive Diao Ruru, a price must be paid; nothing in this world comes without a price."
Fang Yu again fell silent.
Using a human as medicine to create a medicine human.
Yet, this act harms the heaven and violates humanity; while representing justice against slave organizations and rescuing medicine humans, he suddenly becomes the perpetrator.
This change, Fang Yu found somewhat hard to adjust to.
But if it’s to save the second sister... he’s willing to step into the Abyss.
"What should I do?" Fang Yu looked up directly at Ding Hui.
