Chapter 384: Chapter 307: That’s Totally Normal_2

"Hmm, it was okay, the opponent was a bit troublesome, but I took care of them."

Ahn Qi nodded, "If you need anything, just tell me directly."

"What I need is more rest, everything else is negotiable," said Zheng Yichen as he stretched his body. He was most worried about Dusk suddenly assigning him an urgent task or something, his body? That’s no excuse. Wasn’t this mission assigned even though his body hadn’t fully recovered?

At most, they would assign him a task that didn’t have high physical requirements.

A look of helplessness appeared on Ahn Qi’s face; Dusk wasn’t something they could interfere with. The most she could offer Zheng Yichen was support with resources.

"There will be a heavy fog tonight, you’re not going back later, are you?"

Zheng Yichen nodded, "I’m not going back, I’m waiting for the research results."

He was curious about what that extremely potent hallucinogen was, how it affected him in such a way that even after the environment returned to normal, he couldn’t immediately recover. At first, Ahn Ke strongly suggested that Zheng Yichen undergo an additional physical examination, but Zheng Yichen declined; he had already undergone an examination from Tia.

He didn’t particularly want to have another physical check here, let alone the kind that was a super comprehensive scan, the type that required him to strip completely. That was definitely a no-go.

Speaking of research results, Ahn Qi’s expression darkened. Zheng Yichen sensed something and asked, "Didn’t your sister tell you?"

"No, otherwise I wouldn’t have only just arrived here," Ahn Qi clicked her tongue, "Our relationship wasn’t that good before."

"What about Ahn Longling?" Zheng Yichen had a strong impression of Ahn Qi’s sister. The sister’s mother was a younger sister, the younger sister’s mother was an older sister...

"That’s different," Ahn Qi shook her head. There were no overlaps in matters between Ahn Longling and her; she didn’t need to bother with domestic things, only needing to focus on anomalies. But what Ahn Ke was doing was different.

Ahn Ke brought someone directly to the research facility and started experimenting without notifying her, which made Ahn Qi feel displeased as if she had been bypassed.

After another hour or so, Ahn Ke arrived at the laboratory, "Sorry, sis, I forgot to inform you."

"..." Ahn Qi looked at Ahn Ke’s expression, devoid of any real apology, and felt the urge to hit someone.

Ahn Ke continued, "Some of the materials had been stored for too long and were preserved in a rather rough manner; I was in a bit of a hurry."

"So, what have you researched?" During the hour or so, Ahn Qi also learned about Zheng Yichen’s recent experiences from him, a world primarily powered by light-type forces, especially upon hearing about civilian transportation vehicles that could exceed the speed of sound by more than ten times, she knew the family’s second brother would definitely be interested in this technology.

"We’ve made significant discoveries; come with me."

Ahn Ke returned to her own laboratory and showed some of the things she’d researched over the past few hours. Time was short, and the most she did with the materials was to seal and preserve them. Zheng Yichen’s blood was the main target of her research.

After all, Zheng Yichen’s blood would lose all its research value due to withering if stored for too long.

The state of that blood was as Zheng Yichen described, filled with a massive amount of hallucinogen with only a small amount of blood mixed in, which made her separation work as easy as eating and drinking.

She wondered how Zheng Yichen maintained his clarity in that situation; with such a high concentration of hallucinogenic substances in his blood, an ordinary person would have been poisoned to death by now.

"An antidote?" watching the information Ahn Ke had researched, Ahn Qi appeared curious.

"Yes, this is a very potent hallucinogen, but it makes the affected creatures seem very stable..." Ahn Ke explained the effects of the hallucinogen.

"I certainly didn’t stay in that state for long," Zheng Yichen voiced his opinion. He didn’t deny that it made creatures seem stable. At first, under the influence of hallucinations, he did see many beautiful and wonderful things.

But then the beauty started to twist from normal to an uncanny valley effect, and it turned into even more unnerving illusions.

"What state were you in at the time?" Ahn Ke posed the question.

"Natural combat, else why would I inhale so much hallucinogen for no reason?" Zheng Yichen stated matter-of-factly. He didn’t have any abnormal or deadly hobbies, such as indulgence in illusions; that didn’t appeal to him.

Ahn Ke nodded, "That’s right, the initial stage of this hallucinogen is to make the creature’s brain and body enter a state inclined towards the good. If the body remains highly active, then this hallucinogen will push the creature into the terrifying Stage 2."

Either fall in the pleasant illusions or perish in terror—this hallucinogen was from a sandworm, and since it is produced by a creature, its primary purpose is for ’hunting.’ Whether the target languishes in beautiful or in terrifying hallucinations, once they lose the ability to act and judge, they become prey.

And Zheng Yichen was evidently the third kind of existence, who not only didn’t lose his ability to act and judge but also managed to counter-kill the creature emitting the hallucinogen.

Explaining up to this point, Ahn Ke couldn’t help but take an extra careful look at Zheng Yichen. He possessed certain unique abilities, enabling him to acquire new characteristics. In this latest research of the blood, apart from isolating a sufficient amount of hallucinogen, she also detected new characteristics in the blood, ones that had only appeared not long before.
