The dim thick fog rolled silently close to the ground. The open door was like a mouth that opened silently, waiting for prey to come to the door.
Lin Nan held his breath and did not dare to make any sound. The air was so quiet that he could even hear his own heart beating wildly.
"How did this door open? Did someone come in?"
He moved slowly, keeping his body close to the wall, and slowly poked his head into the room:
In the room, an experimental table stood alone, with a strange-looking machine placed on it, which looked like a coffee machine with a glass jar on top.
Next to this machine is a monitor and a keyboard and mouse set required for operation.
"Another Playback Room?"
Seeing that there was indeed no second person, Lin Nan relaxed his vigilance and slowly walked into the second room. The same monitor, only half smaller than the monitor next door Playback Room, looked more normal.
He tentatively lit up the monitor, and a row of text suddenly came into view.
"Reishi Experimental Analyzer.
"Purpose:
Can conduct reverse research on technological items and Kido items that have been exposed;
Items within limited sizes can also be reasonably transformed according to relevant needs.
Note:
1. Technology and Kido items must be valid in real time before reverse research can be conducted;
2. The items to be modified cannot exceed the input size, otherwise an error will occur.
3. When used, it should match the relevant level of basic skills."
Lin Nan After reading the text prompt on the first page, I was a little confused.
Immediately, a line of active text appeared on the screen - "Elementary Reishi transformation technology has been unlocked."
Lin Nan blinked and looked doubtfully at the strange-looking machine next to him.
"Is this thing next to it used for research? It feels more like it is used for making coffee...
Moreover, even if you want to conduct reverse research, you have to be able to see and touch it, right? But this space is isolated from the outside, so how can we study it?"
He turned his eyes back to the screen. If you have any questions, please read the manual first...
Sure enough, there must be an antidote within three steps.
On the left side of the screen, there is a tree menu, and the only option on it says: Hongyuan Haili, Reishi-Gathering Pill.
Behind the options, the contact time is also marked, and there is even a picture of the contact object - in the picture, a pill is lying quietly in the palm of someone's hand.
"Tsk, this perspective... how come the more you look at it, the more it looks like my own first perspective? This seems to be the scene when I just took the medicine and put it in the palm of my hand and looked at it!"
Lin Nan carefully identified the picture, stretched out his left hand and compared it repeatedly, finally confirming that the hand in the picture was his!
"This is... when did I take a screenshot of myself?"
In that picture, Reishi-Gathering Pill is highlighted as a whole. After Lin Nan controls the arrow and selects it, the reverse research project begins quietly.
Reverse R&D: Reishi-Gathering Pill. Remaining time, 24 hours...
The time required for this thing is not short, and I don't know what effect it will have after the research is completed. Lin Nan simply came to the corridor to relax and relax.
The mastermind hiding in the dark, Asauchi who was switched, and Zanpakuto who was unable to communicate... everything was constantly teasing his nerves.
There was always a vague premonition of danger vaguely reminding him, like little thorns piercing his nerves.
The next day, Lin Nan packed up and prepared to visit Hongyuan Haili again. Since Reishi-Gathering Pill had an effect on the grandfather's condition, Lin Nan simply bought a few more tablets for him to use.
The reverse research of Reishi-Gathering Pill will take more than ten hours to complete, but Lin Nan does not intend to use this cheating method to obtain it.
On the one hand, this is a reward for the grandfather's kindness in taking him in; on the other hand, it is also a help to Hongyuan Haili. This overly practical scientist has been deceived so badly.
It is worth mentioning that with the reverse research on Reishi-Gathering Pill, the deciphered information continued to appear directly in his mind, and there was no need to go back to the Playback Room space to view it.
"It seems that Hongyuan Haili's formula is only for ordinary wandering souls who have no spiritual power foundation." Lin Nan walked while analyzing the conclusions that had been researched.
"If it can also work on Soul Reaper, that would be troublesome. Mass production and distribution to Court Guard Squad, wouldn't it be Yamamoto Aizen per capita?"
He was thinking and came to the captain's temporary office unknowingly.
"Reishi-Gathering Pill?" Katori listened to Lin Nan's story and said with some surprise, "I have been in Soul Society for so many years, but why have I never heard of this kind of technology..."
"Maybe it's something only popular in a small circle. After all, the people this thing is suitable for do not include Soul Reaper." Lin Nan said noncommittally.
Katori shook his head. "I don't know much about these things. But what you said may make sense. There is really no need for Seireitei to take the initiative to understand this kind of technology that is only suitable for ordinary drifting souls."
The two briefly chatted about work issues in recent days. Lin Nan suddenly changed the subject. "By the way, if you don't have much work today, can you lend me Ukitake and go buy medicine with me?"
Ukitake on the side heard this and raised his head to look here with some curiosity.
Katori looked at Ukitake and then at Lin Nan: "Okay. But why did you ask him to accompany you today? It's not like you don't dare to go alone."
Lin Nan smiled, "Let's see if the pharmacist has any special medicine that can cure Ukitake's lung disease."
"Lin Sang, there is no medicine that can cure my illness. You don't really think that the pharmacist has a solution, do you?"
On the way, Ukitake, who also put on a long cloak, asked curiously.
"How will you know if you don't try it? What if it happens?" Lin Nan said with a smile, "Besides, I also have an idea, but I don't know if it can be realized."
"What idea??"
"I'm wondering what the upper limit of this drug's capabilities is."
The two arrived at Hongyuan Haili's home. Lin Nan got straight to the point and first brought up the need to buy medicine for the grandfather.
"... The old man's physical condition is like this. I just want him to live a little longer, so I want to prepare more of your medicine for him."
Hongyuan Haili pondered for a moment and shook his head:
"According to what you said, this old man has no spiritual power foundation and the strength of his spiritual body is too low, so he cannot withstand excessive Reishi load.
When taking Reishi-Gathering Pill, the total number should not exceed three at most. Otherwise, excessive load of Reishi will cause acute poisoning, which may lead to instant death.
Moreover, how effective these three Reishi-Gathering Pill pills can be depends on how much burden his body can bear."
Although some terms are not particularly clear, Lin Nan fully understands the meaning of Hongyuan Haili.
"So, the old man can only eat three pills at most. How long can he live after eating depends on fate? Maybe he will live for ten more years, or maybe he will live for only one more day?"
Hongyuan Haili didn't know what kind of expression to make, so he could only nod seriously. "I'm afraid that's the case."
Lin Nan lowered his head and was speechless for a while. Ukitake and Hong Yuanhai also remained silent when they saw this.
Everyone has an unspoken feeling of powerlessness.
Hirohara Edelweiss walked into the room carrying a tea tray that was a little too big for her, and said timidly, "Uncles, please have tea~"
Lin Nan took the tea tray, kept one cup for himself, and handed one to Ukitake. Then he squeezed out a smile to Ronghua, "Thank you, little sister~"
Ronghua obediently returned to Hongyuan Haili, looking at his father with round eyes. "Dad, why is uncle unhappy today?"
Hongyuan Haili rubbed her daughter's head lovingly. "Adults also have adult things to worry about, so they are not so happy!"
"Then will I be unhappy when I grow up?"
"No, little Ronghua will definitely encounter happy things every day from now on..."
Hongyuan Haili pinched her daughter's braid and used it to tickle her neck, making the little girl laugh.
Lin Nan Seeing this loving scene, his silent expression could not help but feel relieved:
"I have one more thing that I want to verify with you later. I'll go deliver some medicine to the old man first and I'll be back soon."
Lin Nan left Ukitake at Hongyuan Haili's home and used Shunpo to go to Block 26.
He rubbed the old man's shoulders and back, told him how to take medicine, cleaned the room, and filled a new pot of water. After doing all this, less than an hour had passed by the time he returned to Hongyuan Hai's house.
Looking at the dusty Lin Nan, Hongyuan Haili had a curious look in his eyes. "What kind of problem makes you come back in such a hurry?"
Lin Nan drank down the already cold tea in his cup, touched his chin, and said:
"Reishi-Gathering Pill, if you concentrate it, how effective will it be?"
