This really seemed a bit perverted. Before Luo Mi had time to hide, Anos had already stopped him with a serious expression: “The institute should have regulations prohibiting any extreme actions against volunteers.”
The priest pushed his glasses, and his dark brown eyes, which were covered by dark circles, stared blankly at Anos for a while before he suddenly realized what was going on and took a step back: “I’m very sorry, Your Highness, I’m too excited… Well, my name is Ronald, a member of the Third Laboratory of the Second Research Institute, number 7841, and I specialize in the research of demon evolution.”
Anos’ expression relaxed.
Ronald reluctantly put down the messy things, leaving only a needle, “First draw some blood, then measure the body data.”
Luo Mi also breathed a sigh of relief: “Okay.”
To be honest, Luo Mi had imagined that the Vatican’s inspection would actually be something like a divine magic array, holy light shroud, etc., and he didn’t expect it to be like a materialistic hospital model. But when he remembered that Anos used divine magic to save people by simulating antibiotics, Luo Mi didn’t find it strange.
The bright red blood flowed into the thick syringe and stopped only when it was almost full.
Afterwards, Ronald measured Luo Mi’s height and weight, recorded a lot of data, and then said, “If we don’t go to the research institute, we can only make a rough analysis. Your Highness and Mr. Lian, please wait for a moment.”
He took out a stack of white paper, spread it out to an area of one square meter, took out a pen and began to draw a magic circle on it.
Luo Mi looked at the standard circle Ronald drew casually and widened his eyes: “Drawing a magic circle with your bare hands?”
He remembered that a slight deviation in the magic circle would make a huge difference, right?
“Usually we use an ink printer, but Mr. Lian’s situation is rather special. There are no ready-made medical printers…” Ronald muttered as he drew the magic circle at an extremely fast speed. Then he placed Lian’s blood and recorded data on two empty spaces in the magic circle and snapped his fingers.
Holy light shone through the magic circle on the white paper, covering the syringe and data, changing its shape, and finally dissipating.
Ronald pressed his asymmetrical glasses and exclaimed, “Mr. Lian is in such a rare state!”
The result came out so quickly? Luo Mi asked curiously, “What’s going on?”
“According to the blood analysis, Mr. Lian’s physique still maintains the foundation of a purebred succubus, but on top of that he has added a layer of illusion ability… It’s so strange, how did he do that? It’s a bit like fusion alchemy, but all the fusion alchemy that the laboratory has tried have produced monsters without exception…”
Anos’s expression darkened: “I remember that the previous king had already issued an order to prohibit the research of blasphemous alchemy.”
Ronald pushed his glasses and nodded. “Yes, but there are also people outside the Church who are secretly studying alchemy. Even if it is to solve the harm caused by those heretics, the Institute must have a basic understanding of alchemy.”
Luo Mi blinked as the word “big brother” came to his mind: “Is alchemy the alchemy I imagined?”
Anos explained, “I told you before that everything in the world was created by God, so using divine magic can create and reproduce some items and effects with the help of the holy light bestowed by God. But things that have already been created cannot be changed by divine magic. This is the bottom line that God has drawn for his servants. However, in the past, some members of the Church were confused and crossed this line, trying to reverse the principles of divine magic and achieve the results of modifying matter and even life.”
From the setting of the earth, the basic structure of everything was microscopic particles. If divine arts could facilitate the exploration of the microscopic world, it was indeed a good means of exploring the world… Luo Mi objectively evaluated alchemy in his heart.
Of course, to the Vatican this was undoubtedly heresy among heresies. It sounded like there were many cruel and even bloody operations in alchemy.
“These heretics were later burned at the stake. The Church has been committed to eradicating all traces of alchemy in the world, but it has not been able to completely eliminate it.” Anos finally looked at Ronald with a serious expression, “Do you think Lian is a product of alchemy?”
Ronald kept pressing the button next to his glasses and answered absentmindedly, “It’s just a possibility. After all, the best result of fusing two demons so far is a monster that could only survive for three days. It’s hard to imagine how a rational and healthy fusion individual like Mr. Lian was created… It’s simply a miracle.”
Anos filtered out the unnecessary descriptions and grasped the key point: “Is Lian healthy?”
Ronald came back to his senses: “Ah yes, there is no conflict with Lord Lian’s body, just treat it as a normal succubus; as for the phantom form, further examination is needed.”
Anos smiled with relief: “I’ll take Lian for a detailed checkup when I have the chance.”
“If it’s convenient, the laboratory is very welcome now…Okay.” Ronald closed his mouth and packed up his things with regret on his refusal. “I’ll have someone send you more detailed blood test results later.”
Anos asked: “I have another question, can the succubus sustain itself eating only common demon food?”
Ronald answered without thinking: “Of course not. General demon food can only provide the most basic energy, but it is not nutritious enough. Succubi must regularly absorb nutrients through sexual intercourse, otherwise they will become weak in the short term and slowly weaken and die in the long term.”
Luo Mi asked doubtfully, “But I don’t feel weak, do I?”
Ronald glanced at Luo Mi’s wings and said, “Given your age, your wings should be bigger and higher. Haven’t you found it difficult to fly recently?”
Uh… Luo Mi was speechless: “I can’t fly.”
No wonder he couldn’t fly even though he secretly tried to imitate Pei Di by flapping his wings. He thought it was because his soul was not a succubus and couldn’t control this body perfectly.
Ronald showed a look of understanding: “That’s it.”
At the same time, he looked at Anos disapprovingly, “Your Highness, Mr. Lian is a rare research subject. You should pay more attention to him and not suppress his instincts.”
Anos said solemnly, “Can’t we solve Lian’s dining problem while following the teachings?”
Ronald looked at Anos in surprise, then said tactfully: “Your Highness, only high-ranking members of the Church are forbidden to marry.”
Anos was stunned: “It’s not marriage, but indulgence is always bad.”
Ronald looked at Luo Mi and wanted to say, “Eat first and then talk about indulgence.” However, since the other party was the honorable Holy Son, he changed his words: “For a succubus, ‘meal’ is different from indulgence in the human sense.”
After Ronald left, Anos looked at Luo Mi, his blue eyes full of confusion and thought.
After a long while, he sighed softly: “I have always been worried that you will fall because of your instinct, but now it seems that maybe my thinking is biased. The fall of a succubus is not the same as the fall of a human. From now on, you…”
Luo Mi quickly interrupted him: “Your Highness, I hope to stay by your side forever.”
Anos was startled: “Of course.”
“So I have no intention of violating God’s teachings at the moment.” Luo Mi showed a sacred and solemn expression, and said righteously, “Don’t say such things again in the future. I believe that God arranged for me to come to your side, and he definitely wasn’t to let me starve to death.”
Anos stared into Luo Mi’s eyes and confirmed that there was no falsehood in them, but he did not feel relieved and reassured as before. His handsome light golden eyebrows were still tightly furrowed and he nodded silently without objection.
Luo Mi breathed a sigh of relief and said to the system: “I’m really afraid that Anos will ask me to find someone to ‘eat’.”
Let’s not talk about the issue of sexual orientation. Luo Mi himself couldn’t accept sleeping with strangers. Anyway, even if he was stronger, he was just a weaker low-level demon. It was better to hope that the side effects of succubus would be removed after the physical upgrade.
The system made a sound of disappointment:
[Host, you are not a fool! In that atmosphere just now, if you ask the Son of God to help you, even if he disagrees, he may be shaken in his heart!]
“…I’m a straight man!” Luo Mi paused and immediately retorted, “Besides, falling is not the shaking of the soul, and having sex does not necessarily mean that it will be shaken.”
[How could the Son of God, who had been educated by the Church since childhood, not be shaken when he sleeps with the devil?]
Luo Mi felt that he was almost convinced by the system, but his straight man’s dignity made him reject the proposal: “I have a better way.”
[Host, are you lying to me?]
Luo Mi coughed and said, “Not really… I think you are too focused on the superficial completion of the task. You need to figure out the essence of Anos’s fall. If he just made a mistake, the Church has a complete process of ‘confession – atonement – peace of mind’. I think it is more important to make Anos doubt the meaning of faith and the Church itself.”
The system made a curious sound:
[What does the host intend to do?]
“The struggle between the pious and the secular, the existence of alchemy, and the inevitable corruption… there are too many dark sides to the Vatican system.” Luo Mi could list a lot of them at once, “not to mention there is an evil version of Anos. Perhaps letting Anos fall is to make him accept his true self.”
[Host, this is not something you came up with temporarily just to deal with me, right?]
Luo Mi laughed dryly: “How could that be? Don’t worry, I’ll start today.”
He looked at Anos who was sitting beside the bed thinking, “Your Highness, is there any way to know the exact date of the blood moon?”
Anos raised his head: “The institute has special stargazers, but there may be errors. What’s wrong?”
“I heard that the blood moon will increase the power of demons. I don’t want my mind to be bewitched by the power of demons.” Luo Mi imitated Anos and made a cross, saying devoutly, “I want an independent and closed room, and I will stay in it with you.”
“That’s no problem.” Anos nodded, “I’ll ask Reinhardt to arrange it later.”
“The kind with more magical spells and arrays.” Luo Mi emphasized.
He wanted to talk to the evil version of Anos first, so it would be best if he could prevent the other party from exerting too much power.
Anos nodded absentmindedly again: “Okay.”
Luo Mi looked at Anos strangely: “What are you thinking about?”
Anos had never been one to hide anything, so when he heard Luo Mi’s question, he sighed softly, “I was thinking, maybe I understand why you are a succubus raised by humans and are completely different from other demons.”
Luo Mi became curious: “Why?”
He didn’t know anything.
“I guess you are the individual created by the heretics of the Church through alchemy. The heretics gave you to humans to raise in order to observe your ecological condition. Later, as the Church hunted down the heretics, they could no longer observe you and had to abandon you for the time being.”
A trace of compassion and shame flashed in Anos’ eyes. “Perhaps you have suffered a lot of pain, but you were forced to forget it.”
Luo Mi opened his mouth, feeling a little amused by the complete setting that Anos had made up in his mind: “Are you thinking too much?”
Anos shook his head slightly, reached out and gently stroked Luo Mi’s soft hair, and said solemnly: “Don’t worry, God led you to my side so that I can protect you.”
