Invade the World

   Chapter 395 Family Conflict

"What did you say?!"

   The woman asked incredulously, her voice suddenly raised several orders of magnitude, slightly deformed and sharp due to anger and surprise.

   "Do you know what you're talking about, Lin Mingyuan?!"

   "I know, of course I know. I definitely know better than you about this matter... So don't be so loud, look, you will scare the child."

   On the other hand, the man sitting on the sofa had a calm expression and a light tone, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

And caught between the two of them at a loss, was a little girl with a round face and a red horn braid. She was not as lively as usual, with her hands on her knees, her appearance was a little restrained, only a pair of black His big eyes are still looking left and right, looking at the quiet father for a while, and the angry mother for a while.

   "You, you still have the face to mention Xingjie..."

   Lin Suya was really **** off. In fact, just like her husband, she is also the kind of character who is not very angry, and sometimes even makes people feel dull and cowardly, but the man who used to be closest to her has become like this, and this incident also involves the children of the two. This really made her unacceptable.

   "I don't understand why you are angry, Xiaoya."

  Lin Mingyuan is still calmly trying to persuade her, as if she is the unreasonable person. But it is this kind of performance that is the most unbearable for women.

   "What's wrong with what I did? No, it's not like that... It's you who's wrong, it's you who became very strange, Lin Mingyuan, you were not like this before..."

The woman hugged her thin shoulders, and then slowly moved her hands to her hair that looked dry and split because she hadn't combed and washed for several days. She grabbed her hair like this and sat down slowly and slumped , lowered his head.

   Lin Suya, who was in depression and anguish, suddenly remembered one thing: about the uneasy feeling before, about the possibility of some earth-shaking changes in her family in the future——

   She actually sensed the signs, because at that time, her husband behaved very abnormally in some details.

   She didn't know anything, but it wasn't that she didn't notice anything.

  People's intuition is sometimes very sharp and will notice unusual clues, but it is ridiculous that most people regard this "sharpness" as a neurotic hallucination.

   Just like her at that time, even if a similar thought flashed through her mind, she just thought she was worrying and laughed.

If she started caring about the changes in the man from then on, when she saw any signs of abnormality and opportunities for him to become the strange attitude he is now, she would try to stop it... Will it be the case? Has there been a change?

   She used to think that she was a housewife, and as long as she took care of the family affairs, it was more than enough, so she never interfered with her husband's work. But she didn't realize until now that this kind of thinking might just be laziness. She was too lazy to worry about these things, so she made excuses for herself.

  …Is there any chance?

   If it was successful before, I can still persuade it now...

   Compared with the change in less than a month, she was more willing to believe that the man who had been with him for seven years would not become another person so easily, and she felt that she would not misunderstand his nature.

Thinking of this, the woman's heart resurfaced with hope again. She raised her head to speak, but saw the man sitting opposite just looking at her at this time. The look of his eyes gave people the feeling that it was as calm as his tone. .

The man's eyes weren't very fierce or indifferent, but for some reason, just looking at him, she felt like a basin of cold water was pouring down from the sky, and her body was frozen stiff, so she could only sit blankly. There, not a word could be said.

   This strangeness is by no means fake, he looked at her, in the two of them's home, but seemed to be looking at a person he had never met before.

   She suddenly realized that she didn't know when to start, and she had already lost the chance to save.

   "...I still don't understand."

   The unbearable silence in the living room continued for a while. When Lin Mingyuan saw that his wife still didn't say a word, he spoke again:

   "Why are you so disgusted with my proposal?"

   "Do you want to ask me this kind of thing?"

  Lin Suya didn't look up.

   "'I want my daughter to participate in the experiment and be the subject of the experiment'... Listen, is this what a father would say? Is that what you should say?"

"……I understand."

   Lin Mingyuan sighed.

   "I think it's because you have a certain misunderstanding of my work."

"what?"

   "Just rest assured, this experiment is very safe. I am her father, so it is impossible to make a joke about Xingjie's physical and mental health."

   "...Whether it's dangerous or safe, even if the risk is only 1% or 1/10,000, I don't want her to participate. I oppose your approach, if you must insist..."

   After hesitating for a moment, she asked again.

   "Where are you going to do the experiment?"

   "It's at home, so my daughter won't leave us and go somewhere else, don't worry too much."

   "Home? You mean that strange basement, you've been hiding there lately, and you don't know what to do." The woman mocked, "I don't think there's anything to worry about."

"That's why I said, please believe me. There really won't be a problem, I know it." Lin Mingyuan shook his head, "To be honest, I think you are the type of character who tends to think too much. There are some things. I'm trying to hide it from you, but in fact, it's no big deal."

  “…”

   "I have equipment that was previously shipped from abroad. In terms of accuracy, it's not worse than those of professional institutions, and the experiment itself is not complicated. I alone and Meng Zheng's help is enough."

"……yes."

   The woman lowered her head and thought for a while, and her voice became slightly dull.

   "I don't know if you didn't pay attention, or I think I'm too stupid to think of this. After all, why is it Xingjie?"

"Um?"

"Why her? Why our daughter? Is there any laboratory that must be specific to a certain person? Although I am a layman, I have never heard of it. Could it be that Xingjie's genes are inherently special? Or is it blood type? Like me, she should be an ordinary person, right? If you can change anyone, there is no need to let her come, it can't be for convenience."

   "...Yes, indeed."

  The expression on Lin Mingyuan's face changed slightly.

   "I just said that I don't want to keep hiding things from you, that's what I said. In fact, this experiment is not what I want to do. In the final analysis, it is to help Xingjie."

   The woman froze for a moment, then frowned, her face gloomy.

   "...This, the meaning of this, could it be that Xingjie has some kind of... congenital disease? But I've never heard of it...!"

   "Did you know? It's because I knew you would panic like this that I never told you."

   Lin Mingyuan said.

   "This disease will not affect her healthy growth, so don't be too impatient. But after all, it's still a disease, so if you can solve it, try to solve it as soon as possible."

   "This... what's the problem? Can't we just go to the hospital?"

   "The hospital can't solve this rare congenital disease. In fact, even if you look around the world, the only one who has a chance to cure her is me who came out of that laboratory."

   replied the man.

   "In addition, the laboratory has closed down a few years ago, so I don't have to think about others at all. I am the only choice. I have to say that this is a kind of luck for me and Xingjie."

  “…”

  Lin Suya doesn't think she is a smart person, at least not as smart as her husband who is a former researcher, but even she thinks this reason is really absurd.

  My daughter has a rare disease, and the only person in the world who can save her happens to be her father? Where in the world can there be such a coincidence?

   You can see his appearance, it doesn't look like he's lying, this kind of...

  The woman felt that her head began to hurt, her teeth were clenched, and she refused to let go.

   She felt that her husband had changed as a person, so she naturally dared not believe it easily, but what if he was telling the truth? Will my daughter's treatment be hindered and delayed by myself? Then she will regret it again.

  If her husband is a madman who likes wishful thinking, then things are simpler, but the problem is that he has really worked in a top foreign laboratory before.

Lin Suya didn't know anything about this, but before the two met for the first time, the person who introduced him emphasized Lin Mingyuan's identity, as if he was studying cutting-edge technologies in the field of life sciences. His vision was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary people. of……

   Also, even if she doesn't believe it, what should she do next?

  If she wanted to stop her husband, she felt that the best way was to contact others; but she couldn't make up her mind whether she would make the police report.

  Women have never hated their weak character as much as they do today.

   In the past, she lived a peaceful life, and she just had to live by it; but when she really needs to make up her mind like today, she really doesn't know what to do.

   "Stop scratching your hair, look at you, you're about to pull out the roots."

   Lin Mingyuan sighed.

   "How should I say it, I think it's a very simple question. I didn't expect you to trust me so much."

   "This, this kind of thing..."

   "Well, I understand, but I'm too lack of consideration. After all, you are the mother of the child, and sometimes...you'll be 'cause if you care about it'."

  Lin Mingyuan turned his head to look at the little girl who had been neglected for a long time.

   "Why don't we do this, let Xingjie decide for himself, okay? I won't force it, but this has to be resolved."

   "...Xingjie is still so young, what does she know..."

   "I understand!"

   The little girl didn't react too violently to their quarrel, but when she heard someone question her, she suddenly became excited.

   At the same time, she quietly said to the ghost friend who accompanied her:

   "As you guessed, the two of them really quarreled."

If someone hadn't reminded her in advance, Lin Xingjie must have been so scared that she would cry now; and now, although she is still inevitably worried, she can still maintain the innate fearlessness. optimistic character.

  “…”

  Xu Xiangyang was silent for a while and did not answer immediately.

   In fact, although he thought about how Lin Mingyuan wanted to conduct experiments in this small place, he also considered the possible family conflicts...

   But he still didn't expect that this incident would come so fiercely, Lin Mingyuan seemed to be reluctant to even pretend to be in front of his family.

   Is it because time is too late, so you are so anxious?

   "Xingjie, what are your thoughts?"

   Seeing his father turn his eyes towards him, Lin Xingjie hesitated for a while, but decided to follow his own wishes.

"I agree."

   "Xingjie...!"

   The little girl secretly apologized to her panicked mother, but her eyes were always fixed on her father's face.

   "The problem with me, you can really solve it...right, Dad?"

  Lin Mingyuan and her looked at each other for a moment, and then the calm-faced man nodded slowly and forcefully.

   "—of course, I promise."

   It is autumn and the sky is getting cooler. The ivy on the wall withered and turned yellow, withered from the spring couplets attached to the door. Large swathes of trees in the forest have lost their leaves and become bare. Looking around, only a clump of lonely branches remain.

  The changes in temperature and seasons can sometimes catch people by surprise, the sun is no longer strong, and there is a bit of a chill in the air.

  Xu Xiangyang stood beside Lin Xingjie and looked at the door leading to the basement in front of him with the little girl.

   At the end of October 1989, the world's first experiment in artificially creating a divine mediator officially began. At this time, there are just 3,650 days and nights before the day when the Jinjiang City God Media War broke out ten years later.
