Savior or Destroyer (2)

A middle-aged Gramperi continued.

“If that ascetic with a channel attached to his body came to the front from early on, it would’ve been difficult for our fellow compatriots to stop him.”

“We agree.”

The foreign government speculated that the number and level of wizards trained in China were the largest and highest in the world. However, those gathered there knew that the reality was a few steps higher than the outside predictions.

The Gramperi’s advanced magical civilization and China’s outstanding science and technology with their rich population and both of their strong central control had produced achievements that no other country dared surpass.

Meanwhile, the training center’s defense system, created by the combination of the modern weapons of the Chinese People’s Army and the magical civilization of Gramperi, won the victory over an unidentified terrorist group, which no country had succeeded in.

The Chinese government and Gramperi captured some of the ‘apprentices’ who raided the training camps and discovered they were ascetics.

Even though it was an unfamiliar concept to Gramperi, they were confused. It was difficult to recall from their common sense why the Truth-Seeker had to take the magic away from the native species.

“Aside from the sacrifices of several training camps in the early annihilation, we have been dealing with ascetics’ assaults in the meantime, but if that wizard had ever participated in the war, our defense system would have collapsed helplessly.”

“Yes. Inflicting a blow on the Space Ghost means that the attacking party can deal with space so freely. The defense through barriers we have made would be meaningless.”

The middle-aged Gramperi said after a brief brainstorm. He was a very old member among the Andaz class gathered there. Also, his words contained heavy authority.

“So, the most urgent questions we have to solve are; first, it will be the identity and intention of that ascetic. We need answers to what he affiliates to, why he works alone, and his relationship with the ascetic group engaged in existing terrorist activities. Second, we need to find out the unidentified creature that came out of the Seed Channel attached to his body, and how the Channel summoned it in such a way.”

At that time, an executive of the Ministry of National Security intervened in their conversation.

“Did you just say summon?”

Gramperi nodded.

“That’s one of the things we care about the most.”

“Our common sense is that summoning through the Seed Channel has no choice but to have randomness that is largely dependent on probability. Still, can we dismiss the situation as a coincidence? How could he accidentally connected with a creature with the ability to overwhelm the Space Ghost dealing with one? Moreover, I can’t understand how it has not fully revealed itself to this world and returned to its original world as soon as the battle was over.”

A Gramperi sitting next to him took over.

“If he is a wizard that can deliberately target and summon through the Seed Channel, it’s an event that could turn the concept of magic and dimensions we know upside down.”

“Maybe the ‘dimensional map’ that was only discussed conceptually actually exists!”

One word from a Gramperi made the conference room very noisy.

Dimensional map.

The executive, listening to their intense discussion, brought it up.

“In the end, if you put the guesswork together.. it’s a level that surpasses those of Gramperi in terms of dimensional knowledge.”

Remish nodded passionately and agreed.

“Yes. We have been observing the surrounding dimensions for a long time. We can’t cross over until the Channel opens, yet it is possible to recognize that the world exists. However, as you can see, it’s impossible to accurately identify and connect certain objects without much more precise and extensive indicators. It might prove that a dimensional map, which was considered a vain concept, is real.”

Upon hearing that, a middle-aged Gramperi looked at the agent and spoke.

“The opponent is a very strong man that we cannot imagine. That doesn’t mean we can let it go of our hands. We need to get the information out of the way by avoiding a direct collision. Could you ask for additional information through the country where that Channel is open? That video is too far, and the clarity isn’t good. A little bigger and clearer..”

“If you’re talking about the resolution, then don’t worry. We are already working on routes.”

Of course, the efforts were outside the scope of normal, sunny-sided diplomatic means. However, the agent didn’t dare mention that there.

“Then, I will collect interpretations of the videos discussed here and deliver them to Beijing.”

“Who will be in charge of this case?” historical

The agent frowned for a moment and said, “It’s an ambiguous case, but I think the Beijing Research Institute Gramperi’s will be in charge. Moreover, these days, our research institutes are busy.”

The Gramperi’s gathered at the seat nodded all at once. Many new biomes and ores were discovered within the Shanghai Channel dimension, and humans and Gramperis were all eager to study the specimens.

The agent judged that the second opinions requested by Beijing were sufficiently collected. He proceeded with the agenda for the regular meeting.

They would be sharing and accompanying research data regarding the progress of exploration and development of the collective Fourth New Zone beyond the Shanghai Channel.

It came to Remish’s turn to share the results of each experiment in their respective fields.

She said, “This is a report of the results of an experiment on a blue-haired primate with super-renewable ability, also known as Lanyuan (Blue Ape). We got 15 more individuals last week, so we continued the experiment that we had been putting off.”

The experiment that was put off was of an intensity that could lead to the subject’s death.

“What we checked this time was about the speed and resilience of major organs such as the brain, circulatory system, and spine.”

The video she prepared was displayed on the screen. The small-sized aliens laid on the operating table with their hands and feet tied. The researcher split the front of Lanyuan with a prepared surgical grinder. There was a dull sound when the saw blade was pushed against the flesh of a normal mammal.

The subject screamed and twisted, and a strange phenomenon occurred in the cut chest and abdomen. The fat layer and skin shrunk back as if trying to find the cut surface and restore its original shape. The invisible force seemed to pull the skin and forced it to be sealed.

However, as if it were familiar, the researcher inserted a grid between the split chest and spread it apart, and then the closed skin stopped recovering. The researcher brought a scalpel to Lanyuan’s heart.

“Lanyuan’s heart is not very different in structure than the mammals living on Earth or in Andazelkia. We started with an experiment of cutting off the cardiovascular system.”

Remish added her explanation while watching the video. She moved her body several times as if her sitting position was uncomfortable due to her swollen belly.

The scalpel on the screen cut off the blood vessels. Blood sprang up like a fountain. The camera took a close-up near the heart.

In the video, the gagged alien spat a twisted scream. Remish turned the volume down and continued.

“As you can see, it took only 21 seconds for the cut artery to recover. Let’s turn to the quick look.. Yes, as in the video now, it has been confirmed that 45% of the entire heart, including the heart muscle layer and valves, has been completely recovered even when it is damaged. However, this speed fell rapidly when more than half of the heart was damaged. Even this entity didn’t survive the experiment that damaged half of it. This is because the shock caused by hypoxia in the body came first before the heart tissue was completely restored.”

The video led to experiments on other objects. After opening the specimen’s skull, the researchers used a scalpel to cut out the brain tissue little by little or absorbed it with a syringe and cut the spine alive with a tool reminiscent of pruning scissors.

“What was confirmed again by this experiment is that even for important organs of the body such as the brain, heart, and spine, if the damage rate is less than 50%, the rapid regeneration rate, which is called hyper regeneration, is maintained.”

“In a word, it doesn’t matter what kind of organ it is.”

“Yes, this clarifies the direction of future research. If we study Lanyuan, we may find a clue. The keyword that ancient priests heard through the Akashic Records, the ‘elixir’ that was only considered as a concept in legend may become possible.”

Several Gramperis breathed a sigh of suppression. A legendary magical potion regenerated damaged limbs and organs in an instant. However, no one in history had been able to make it a reality.

It was a potion piled up enough to roll around in a human wizard’s warehouse located on the Korean Peninsula, and depending on the level. It was a product that was transported in an empty drink bottle. However, currently, it was the ultimate leap for them, as the treasure of gold.

The eyes of the aliens sitting in the seat shone at once. What reflected in their eyes wasn’t personal greed but the expectation of the infinite development and benefits that the result would bring to their kind.

“We’re focusing on researching what magical or biological properties of them cause this phenomenon. However, samples are scarce. We believe that at least 200 more are needed to carry out basic research. This is because excessive replay will slow down the speed. There’s also a limit to repeated experiments on biological tissue extraction and degradation with the same object.”

The agent nodded.

“That’s a request made by Chinese researchers as well. Shortly, a follow-up exploration unit will enter the Fourth New Zone. The main goal of this exploration is to collect as many samples of Lanyuan as possible.”

At that time, Remish raised her hand and spoke.

“I hope to be with you in this exploration. There’s an experiment I’d like to do in the field.”

A voice filled with astonishment burst from behind her back.

“What? I beg your pardon?”

It was Wang Liang who shouted without realizing it. He belatedly covered his mouth with his hand, realizing that he wasn’t in the position to make a voice there. However, despite his gestures, none of the people surrounding that table paid attention to his reaction, whether humans or Gramperis.

With his mouth closed, Wang Liang shouted in his heart.

‘Remish is a pregnant woman! Even that, in two months, she will have a child. She’s a pregnant woman whose stomach is so full that she cannot move without a wheelchair!’

However, the part that Gramperi cared about was a little different from Wang Liang’s concern.

“The exploration will be finished within a month.. but aren’t you anxious? Remish, if your childbirth gets faster, you will be a major obstacle for the expedition.”

A middle-aged Gramperi said, frowning.

The Earth people who heard him thought that the obstacle would mean a delay or interruption of the exploration schedule due to premature childbirth. However, his words that followed were completely different.

“Moreover, Remish your family has produced excellent warriors from the past. Couldn’t the exploration team get caught up in the riots of an insane warrior?”

Remish protested.

“However, according to the opinion of the doctor so far, there is no sign of an earlier delivery date.”

Another Gramperi said, “Still, it’s impossible to guarantee 100%.”

“Remish, if you want to go, why don’t you have the child in your womb aborted and then accompany the team?”

“Oh, she can’t do that. The research of Remish giving birth on Earth is an experiment that is of high interest from the top.”

There were words that human ethics couldn’t imagine. However, Remish calmly received those words.

“But among the Gramperi researchers in Shanghai, I’m the one who has the most experience in interracial studies. I’m also in charge of the Lanyuan project. This is the part that I request because I felt the need to select samples myself and experiments conducted in the field. All of these are steps towards the development of Gramperi.”

A brief discussion continued, and the Gramperis eventually ruled in favor of Remish. If there were any sign of childbirth, she would immediately return to Shanghai through the Channel.

Moreover, in that conference room, there was a man who was more dissatisfied with that decision than anyone else.

‘.. Damn, no way.. Do I have to follow Remish into that Channel?’

Wang Liang was a new groom who had been married for about half a year and was in charge of taking care of Remish’s every move, which was uncomfortable. He was serving Remish, a Gramperi woman, as an assistant due to the culture of the Gramperi tribe, and Remish directly requested it.

‘I’m going to go nuts. It was said that the New Zone is full of creatures like monsters!’

Also, something mysterious happened in the New Zone. In the meantime, a great deal of understanding of the creatures living near the Channel on New Zone’s side had progressed. However, recently, there was a platoon that went missing for an unknown reason.

Before being a member of the Great People’s Republic of China’s Communist Party and one agent serving the state, Wang Liang was a single office worker. He began to seriously consider whether that assignment he was given would fit the value of his salary.

Only work as much as you receive. It was a phrase of wisdom that Wang Liang believed as thoroughly as the Chinese Communist Party’s regulation.
