She left a letter to her brother. Although she was still worried about how difficult his situation would be without her in the future, she had already done everything she could for him; the rest of the way, no matter how worried she was, she could only let him go on by himself, hoping that he would not disappoint her. Her only wish in life was to protect him, to make him strong enough so that he could live on!

Now that she had returned to the research institute with a stomach full of worry and unwillingness, she didn't have a second choice, just like how she didn't have the choice back then to walk the underworld. It was as if the reason why she came to this world her whole life, was to fight a fierce battle before disappearing from this world without a sound.

She did not forget the words of the doctor half a year ago, and today was the last day of the appointment. She did not really believe that the doctor would be able to save her, but her death was not something that could be spread out, and other than the doctor, she did not want anyone else to deal with her body. Whether it was in the sect or in Hong Xiu, they would all think that she had temporarily hidden herself away in the shadows, quietly watching over the growth of her red sleeves, and not let them know that she was no longer alive.

After a series of checks, the heavy titanium alloy door finally opened. Leng Hong Xiu, who was still dressed in black, walked through the door neatly, and the metal door immediately closed behind her.

Following that, he entered the elevator that also required a password. When he reached the biochemical institute fifty meters underground, three minutes had passed!

The doctor seemed to have been waiting for her since a few days ago. He thought that she wouldn't come, but when he finally saw her, he secretly let out a sigh of relief, "Miss Leng, you've finally come. I thought that you wouldn't come! How do you feel recently? "

"Not bad!" Leng Hong Xiu asked indifferently.

In fact, she was in no condition at all, in every part of her body she was in pain, but she could not show it in front of others; she had almost no appetite, but was constantly forcing herself to eat, because at any time she needed strength to maintain her body; in order to avoid being seen as pale and sick, she had never used cosmetics, and in the past few months she had been applying a layer of invisible powder and blush almost every day to her face to ensure that she was still healthy and sharp; not to mention the fact that she was wearing twice as much as she usually did, to prop up her body and figure, which she had no doubt succeeded until the very last moment, when she was about to die.

At this moment, although she was clearly in so much pain that she could collapse at any moment, she still calmly said the word 'good'. It wasn't that she really didn't feel any pain, it was just that she was too used to enduring it!

"That's fine, Miss Leng. I won't waste any more time. Let's talk while we walk. Please follow me!" The doctor looked at her straight back, which was still cold with estrangement, and the calm in her eyes, and he couldn't help but admire her. According to his estimation, if it were any other person, with ten of these bodies, they would have already died and rotted long ago, and yet Leng Hong Xiu was still able to appear in front of him in such a healthy manner.

Although his research was still in the experimental stage, if there was not too big of a difference between the actual situation and the theory, not only would Leng Hong Xiu's life be saved, there would also be a harvest that she could not even imagine.

"Doctor, what do you want me to see? My body can no longer be operated on!" If he still wanted to try and save her life on the operating table, he might as well sit down as soon as possible and listen to her orders to deal with her aftermath. After all, walking now was a painful and exhausting thing for her, not to mention she also carried a weapon that weighed more than ten kilograms.

"Miss Leng, I know that even though you look very energetic now, but according to my conjecture, the inside of your body must have already been covered with dense black cancer cells. Even if the Great Luo Golden Immortal came, he would not be able to return you a brand-new body, but I think I need to let Miss Leng know where the research fund you provided me for the past three years has gone to!" The old man said seriously while typing in a long string of codes.

Another metal door that was over 30 centimeters thick opened soundlessly. Leng Hong Xiu knew with one glance that this door was precisely the one that the old man had asked her to install two years ago, the nuclear door. That is to say, not to mention ordinary bomb and firepower attacks, even nuclear bombs would explode, and the rooms inside this door were all made of this material.

She would agree to build this place, mostly because of her brother, Hong Xiu. If anything happened in the future, she hoped that Hong Xiu would have a place for him to stay, a place to protect his life. This was one of the reasons she had been supporting this old man without letting anyone in her sleeves know about the existence of this research lab.

Inside the door, a series of sophisticated instruments were glowing with a red and green light. In the middle of the room was a large glass cover with nothing inside. On the outside of the glass cover were densely packed tubes connecting to the computers that were constantly analyzing the data.

"What is this?" He had always thought that this old man was researching biological weapons, similar to poison gas bombs or genetic viruses that other countries couldn't crack, but he didn't expect that there was no test-tubes or utensils, nor any internal organs or any body carriers. Then what exactly was he doing over the past three years, what use had he used the bodies of the disabled or dead people that she had brought him during these three years?

"This is the equipment that I researched during these three years. You know, people usually think that the basic factors that make up the world are matter and consciousness, but I have always thought that the basic components of the world should be matter and energy, and everyone else thinks that energy belongs to one category of matter, but I think that this is the other category that should be separated from. For example, I think that people and the world are all material while wind and thunder are all energy! Matter is tangible, but energy is intangible. People can only gather a small amount of energy in the body of a substance, and then make it work accordingly, but they can't make matter transcend its own existence, and make it master any energy, which is often said, that when a person lives in nature, he is bound by nature, and cannot fight against nature … "

The old man talked for a long time, but Leng Hong Xiu could not help but frown, "Doctor, what are you trying to say? What is matter? What is energy? I have no interest in it. I have no intention of restarting my physics course!"

"I'm sorry, Miss Leng. I forgot that you don't understand my words. How about this, I will try to tell you in the simplest way possible about my plans and risks. "What I want to say is, regardless of whether it is a person or anything else, as long as it is a substance, it is nothing but made up of molecules. If I were to assume that I can change the form of matter into a fixed energy form, what would happen then?"

"I still don't understand!" His so-called simple narration was still not normal.

The old man scratched his head, then pushed the glasses on his nose, and said after a while, "Miss Leng, let's put it simply, this research of mine can decompose your body into a molecular model, and then quantify and then reorganize it. This way, it means that your body will be a brand-new one, able to freely absorb nature, and even some of the floating energy in the universe as a carrier. In other words, if you can successfully transform, not to mention that the cancer cells in your body will disappear, your body will also have an unimaginable advantage compared to ordinary people. It is very likely that the strength of your current punch is incomparable to the quantified strength of the previous punch! "

This time, Leng Hong Xiu finally understood what he meant, "You're saying that once I succeed, my body will be a new body, but my strength will be countless times stronger than before, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, yes, that's what it means!" When the old man heard that she understood, he immediately let out a sigh of relief and said happily.

"Although I feel that this is basically impossible, I still want to ask, if I do not succeed, what will happen to me?" Leng Hong Xiu asked indifferently, this was something she had never heard before, could this kind of research, that she had never heard of, really succeed? If this was the case, once the research techniques had matured and they were applied to human bodies in large quantities, wouldn't that mean that almost all humans could become even more powerful than machines? Why would they need to sell arms when they were down? They could even directly decompose a person to quantify his strength!

But then again, if he really did succeed, would he still be human?

"If you fail, Miss Leng, you will become countless invisible molecules that will disappear into nature!" The old man hesitated for a while, then said softly, his excitement subsiding, "However, if it succeeds, Miss Leng is still Miss Leng, but her inner self has made a qualitative leap, no longer the same as the previous Miss Leng! "Anyways, your current body..."

That's right, with her current body, it was no different from a dead person. If she failed, then she would just be unable to find the corpse, and if she succeeded, then she would be able to live for many years, and she would be able to lead her and protect her brother with her own hands, allowing her to take a big step forward, this was simply the best path! She originally wanted the old man to take care of her after all. If she failed and became a member of nature, wouldn't that be the best fate?

"Then let's begin!" Leng Hong Xiu did not hesitate to answer straightforwardly, causing the old man to be shocked, "Miss Leng, have you really decided? "Because this experiment has never been really successful. The corpses you gave me in the past two years have all failed and disappeared. It is very likely that you will also …"

"In any case, I'm definitely going to die anyway. Why not give it a try?"
