Su Buyan said anxiously, "I'm not saying you're lying! I'm... I'm... I'm just too excited!"
"More than two thousand people! More than two thousand people! They just detoxified after being poisoned, and they achieved Gene Evolution! Do you know how much of a shock this will bring to our country, even the entire Beichen Galaxy?!"
Xia Chujian pursed her lips and said with an embarrassed smile, "Really? But I don't understand either. Can you guys help me come up with an idea? I don't want these people to become someone else's experimental subjects because of this..."
Huo Yushen and Quan Yuxun exchanged glances, both seeing the shock, forbearance, and unease in each other's eyes.
Huo Yushen said as calmly as possible, "Our country doesn't allow research in the field of genes, so I can guarantee that no one would dare to conduct human experiments on them."
Xia Chujian, however, exchanged a strange look with Quan Yuxun.
The two of them simultaneously thought of the laboratory located underground in the South District of Mulan City.
The human experiments conducted there, whether on normal humans or Humanoids, were not uncommon.
Quan Yuxun then said, "It's time to push for some changes in standards. For example, it was previously believed that normal people couldn't undergo Gene Evolution after the age of eighteen."
"This incident can prove that the age of eighteen is incorrect. It's still possible to achieve natural Gene Evolution after eighteen, but the probability is very low."
Then he asked Xia Chujian, "How many of those two thousand people are older than eighteen?"
Xia Chujian thought for a moment, "Everyone is over eighteen, and the oldest is over fifty."
Huo Yushen: "..."
Quan Yuxun: "..."
Su Buyan: "!!!"
Su Buyan said excitedly, "Is it really the power of fresh Blood Kirin?! Will it trigger a craze for everyone to go to the Exotic Beast Forest to find Blood Kirin?!"
Xia Chujian thought of the open space where she had dug up even the humus soil, her eyes flickered slightly, and said, "But the place where I found the fresh Blood Kirin is near the Restricted Life Zone of the Exotic Beast Forest."
"How many people would dare to go in?"
Huo Yushen said, "According to the Special Security Bureau's data, the place where the Blood Kirin grows each year is different."
"Judging from the growth trend over the years, it has been moving north year by year."
"First Lieutenant Xia, can you mark the location where your Team found the fresh Blood Kirin in the Exotic Beast Forest last year?"
Huo Yushen raised his hand and quickly brought up a virtual display screen.
On it was the three-dimensional map of the Exotic Beast Forest on the North Side of Mulan City, Guiyuan Star.
Xia Chujian quickly found the location where she and San Zong had dug up the Blood Kirin and marked it.
Huo Yushen then marked the locations where the Blood Kirin had been discovered in previous years, one by one.
He said, "You see, isn't it getting more and more to the north year by year?"
"According to this trend, the place where the Blood Kirin will grow this year will officially enter the Restricted Life Zone."
Almost everyone in the entire Beichen Empire knew that this Restricted Life Zone was located in the most central part of the Land of the Far North in the Exotic Beast Forest.
It was called a Restricted Life Zone because there was no life there, whether animals, plants, or microorganisms.
Huo Yushen said, "It is said that there is nothing alive in the Restricted Life Zone, so the Blood Kirin, in theory, cannot survive in the Restricted Life Zone either. But as it stands, I'm not sure."
Su Buyan sighed and said, "This matter is indeed very tricky."
"If most people know about this, even if it's in the Restricted Life Zone, countless people will rush in."
"I think this is more of a disaster than a blessing for our country."
Xia Chujian said, "Then what should we do? Do you have any way to suppress this matter?"
"We can't just hide these people, can we?"
"And now that they have become Gene Evolvers, it is a time of major change in their lives. I don't want them to suffer misfortune because of my reasons..."
Her idea was very simple and pure, she just wanted to give these poor Starry Sky Marines some compensation.
Su Buyan racked his brains and said, "How about saying it's because they went to Senze Star? Because the nuclear radiation data there was abnormal, they were radiated, and mutations occurred, thus evolving?"
Xia Chujian immediately objected, "No! That place is Hell for ordinary people!"
"If more ordinary people really go there to try their luck and evolve because of this statement, I dare say that it's a 100% mortality rate."
"Then we would be doing evil."
"I absolutely disagree with that statement."
Su Buyan scratched his head, "Is it really that serious?"
He was buried in building mecha and knew nothing about the situation on Senze Star.
Huo Yushen nodded and said, "That's right, First Lieutenant Xia is right, we must not link the reason for these people's Gene Evolution to Senze Star."
"Doing so would have endless consequences."
Quan Yuxun thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll step forward and sign an agreement with these people, asking them not to reveal the real reason for their evolution."
"They can only say they don't know, that they fainted while crossing the Wormhole in the airship, and evolved when they woke up."
"Blaming it on the Wormhole will at least prevent so many people from going to the Wormhole to die."
"Those who want Gene Evolution will at most take a few more trips on interstellar spaceships, crossing the Wormhole."
Xia Chujian quickly said, "But what if someone is tempted by a large sum of money and violates the agreement?"
That was entirely possible.
Although those two thousand plus Starry Sky Marines had all expressed their desire to be her subordinates, she couldn't guarantee that all two thousand of them were of one mind.
After all, her most loyal subordinates should have already died on the battlefield on Senze Star, fighting the Floating Turret.
It wasn't that the remaining people were disloyal, but she couldn't vouch for the degree of their loyalty.
Quan Yuxun smiled and said, "First Lieutenant Xia doesn't need to worry about that. Manipulating people's hearts and human nature is our job. Don't worry, I'll add conditions to the agreement that aren't just about money."
"For example, if they breach the contract, they will not only have to pay several times the huge compensation, but also be deprived of their Gene Evolution ability."
Xia Chujian was surprised, "This evolution ability can be deprived?"
Su Buyan said, "It's just giving them Inhibitor Shots."
Xia Chujian immediately understood.
She knew about Inhibitor Shots.
That was indeed a ruthless measure.
But Huo Yushen frowned, his mind racing, and said, "Signing an agreement is still not foolproof."
"Let me handle it."
"We can conduct a 'Review' on them, organizing and modifying their memories."
"Make the Gene Evolution they discovered while passing through the Wormhole a deeply ingrained memory."
"Then, Chief Quan Da can sign an agreement with them, but this time the agreement is not to say that the reason for their evolution is repeated crossings of the Wormhole."
Xia Chujian's eyes lit up.
Huo Yushen's method was indeed more foolproof! First, the Special Security Bureau would "brainwash" these two thousand people, modifying part of their memories to make them believe that the reason for their evolution was repeated crossings of the Wormhole.
This was drawing out the firewood from under the pot, covering up the real reason for these people's Gene Evolution.
Secondly, Quan Yuxun would step forward and sign a confidentiality agreement with these people, using heavy compensation and the loss of evolution ability as conditions, so that they would not tell anyone that the reason for their evolution was repeated crossings of the Wormhole.
In fact, it was to deepen the impression on these people, so that they truly believed that the reason they evolved was thanks to those six opportunities to cross the Wormhole, thereby covering up the true fact that they evolved after detoxifying on Senze Star.
In this way, even if someone couldn't resist the temptation and really told others the reason for their evolution, it would only be the Wormhole crossing.
Apart from the four of them, no one else would know that this confidentiality agreement was actually protecting a fictional fact.
When falsehood is taken for truth, the truth becomes falsehood; when truth is taken for falsehood, falsehood becomes truth.
This was the only way to solve the problem once and for all! Quan Yuxun smiled and glanced at Huo Yushen, saying, "This plan is good, more suitable than mine."
"However, will Inspector Huo be honest with His Majesty the Emperor about this matter?"
This was putting Huo Yushen on the spot.
Everyone knew that the Special Security Bureau was directly under the Emperor, and the Inspector of the Special Security Bureau was the Emperor's most trusted confidant.
Huo Yushen looked at Xia Chujian and said, "I will report the real reason for this matter to His Majesty, do you have any objections?"
Xia Chujian's face paled, and she said uneasily, "...Then will the Emperor want more Blood Kirin?"
Huo Yushen said, "That is His Majesty's decision and has nothing to do with us."
Su Buyan said softly, "I don't think it matters if the Emperor knows. Anyway, the Royal Family has its own collection team, and they send people to the Exotic Beast Forest every year to collect various rare herbs."
"It's just that they haven't found the Blood Kirin in the last ten years or so."
"Decades ago, they could find several Blood Kirin every year."
"As far as I know, the Royal Family even tried to artificially cultivate the Blood Kirin, wanting to grow it themselves, but they all failed."
Xia Chujian thought of San Zong and quickly lowered her head.
She wondered if San Zong was registered with the Royal Family.
If so, then the identification documents that Huo Yushen helped her get for San Zong...
Xia Chujian suddenly became worried.
Quan Yuxun then said with a smile, "Okay, then let one more person, the Emperor, know the truth. I also think there is no need to hide it from the Emperor."
"But apart from the Emperor and the four of us, I hope that no sixth person will know the truth."
The Special Security Bureau will use special instruments to organize the memories of the more than two thousand people Xia Chujian brought back, changing some of their memories.
So even they themselves will not remember that they achieved Gene Evolution because Xia Chujian helped them detoxify.
Xia Chujian even kept the secret of Kong Sang.
She told half the story and kept half, attributing the reason for the evolution entirely to the fresh Blood Kirin. Even the three shrewd people in this room were temporarily fooled by her.
Xia Chujian didn't know how long she could hide the secret of this Kong Sang, given their keenness.
But she would hide it for as long as she could; she wasn't picky.
Su Buyan looked at Huo Yushen and reminded him, "I don't know how far your Special Security Bureau's memory modification can go, but I hope you don't overwrite too many memories."
"It was Chujian who saved them and gave them the opportunity to evolve. I hope they can still retain their admiration and submission to Chujian."
Huo Yushen said, "Of course not. We will only modify a very short period of memory. On this point, we need First Lieutenant Xia to assist us in pinpointing the time when the detoxification took place."
