In the hospital room, Hemmer told Xia Feng about Ifrit's situation.

.............

Ifrit was the 19th test subject of the Firedemon Project, and the previous 18 test subjects of different races were undoubtedly all dead.

In the initial experiment, whenever the Stone of Fire Demon entered the subject's body, the test body instantly burned, and in a short period of time, it would turn to ashes, leaving only the Stone of Fire Demon behind.

The same happens in test subjects of all races, with no exceptions.

However, there is one race that has a brief delay in the burning phenomenon, and that race is Sakaz.

After obtaining sufficient theoretical data, Rhine Life finally started the 19th test subject's fire demon experiment, and this candidate was Ifrit who was Sakaz.

Through biotechnology, Rhine Life has changed Ifrit's DNA in order to artificially create a new race that is different from the world of Terra to adapt to the Firestone.

In the course of the experiment, Ifrit's muscles began to atrophy, the double horns on her head degenerated, becoming a crystallized composition, and at the same time, her ore disease infection began to intensify, and the crystal density of the blood source stone was as high as 0.51u/L, and the fusion rate of somatic cells and source stone reached an astonishing 19%.

However, according to the big data calculations, the success rate of her DNA fusion with the Firestone is still not high, and if she fails, she will be reduced to ashes like the previous 18 test subjects.

The progress of the Firedemon Project has reached a bottleneck.

..............

This bottleneck was broken until one day, when the summer wind was brought back from Ursas by Hemer.

Through the DNA testing of Xia Feng's body, Rhine Life finally knew how to fuse the Fire Demon Stone with No. 19, and there is no doubt that their theory is correct, as long as the DNA of No. 19 is fine-tuned to make it closer to Xia Feng's DNA composition, the success rate will be greatly improved.

Time passed.

It wasn't until the day that Xia Feng broke through the threshold for the first time, through the change of power in Xia Feng's body, Rhine Life finally determined the fusion method of No. 19 and the Fire Demon Stone.

This was Merhe's confident experiment, but the result was embarrassing.

............

............

Although he knew that Ifrit was fine, Xia Feng still sighed on the hospital bed.

"The Fire Demon Project, did it really fail?"

"Nope."

"Huh?"

Xia Feng raised his head in surprise.

"Hemmer, what did you say?"

Hemer's expression was very solemn, and he said in a deep voice.

"It may seem to outsiders that this was an experimental accident, but I know very well that the Firedemon project did not succeed as expected, but it did not fail, Ifrit did not die, and the Firedemon Stone was gone, and there is no doubt that it had fused into Ifrit's body."

Xia Feng's eyes widened in disbelief.

It worked?

The ancient stone in the far mountain pass, which could not have merged with the existing races in the world of Terra, had really successfully fused with Ifritus?

Seeing Xia Feng's surprise, Hemmer calmly continued to explain.

"The Fire Demon plan has succeeded, according to the previous estimate of the power of the Fire Demon, Ifrit exerted this power comparable to the fire of the gods, and the large and sturdy No. 4 experimental base was reduced to ashes in this flame."

"This ....."

Hemmer changed his mind.

"However, it has not been as successful as Rhine Life expected, I know the idea of the higher-ups, they want to create a humanoid ultimate weapon that can be controlled, but judging from the results so far, the humanoid weapon has been completed, but it cannot be controlled."

"What do you mean?"

"For some reason, Ifrit couldn't control the power of the fire demon, not only on the day of the fusion, but until now, she still couldn't feel the power of the fire demon, and that power was deeply hidden in her body, unable to be controlled by her own mind."

Xia Feng thought for a moment.

Obviously, the power of the Fire Demon is completely different from that of the Black and White Twins, but even on the day of the fusion in Mandel City, he can control the power with his own mind, whether it is to knock down the Dark Raven and Big Bob, or finally fight against the Red Knife Brother, his body movements are completely according to his own mind.

Later, Rhine Life carried out experiments after paralyzing his nerves used drugs to control his emotions, and if he was awake, he could still control that force.

Thinking about it, there is only one possibility.

That is, Ifrit, after all, is not a purebred human.

Even if her DNA is altered, she will not be exactly the same as a normal human, those subtle differences still exist, although the Stone of Fire Demon recognized her body and successfully completed the fusion with her, but her brain cannot control this power.

Just like a gorilla successfully entered the city through disguise, although it deceived the police to avoid being killed on the spot, it could not do more, it could not go to the convenience store to buy food, it could not go to the restaurant to eat, it could only wander around the city, without being killed, looking for a way to integrate into human society.

Hemmer continued.

"Because I was worried that Ifrit would be affected by emotions like you before, the high-level of Rhine Life did not restrict her freedom, but asked me to be in charge of supervision while preparing for follow-up experiments, but I knew that Ifrit's strength was not controlled by emotions, and in order for her to stay by my side normally, I did not report this situation to the higher-ups."

Xia Feng nodded in understanding.

Obviously, Rhine Life is now rejoicing in the successful fusion of the fire demon and the test subject, and at the same time, it is afraid that the little fire dragon will get out of control like before.

They will continue to experiment, so that the little fire dragon becomes like themselves, and may accurately control the power of the fire demon with self-awareness, but before that, the high-level of the Rhine life did not dare to let the little fire dragon have an overreaction, and could only follow her like a child.

At the same time, Xia Feng also noticed one thing.

Because of his existence, this hidden event in the long river of history has been changed, and it is clear that the current result is different from the result recorded in the Rhode Island materials three years later, because three years later, Kelsey did not find that the little fire dragon was fused with special powers.

Once again, the course of history has been skewed.

.............

After hearing about Ifrit's situation, Xia Feng also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

After finishing business, I saw Hemmer lower his head slightly, his eyes a little evasive.

Xia Feng asked with some confusion.

"Hemer, what's wrong with you, is there anything you can't say?"

Hemmer clenched his fists, clenched the sheets, and whispered.

"Xia Feng, thank you for saving Ifrit again, I ..... I don't know how to thank you anymore, I ..... I was really scared that day, I thought Ifrit would never come back, I thought I would never see her again, I ...... Woooooooo ”

As she spoke, Hermer began to cry.

This is not the first time Xia Feng has seen Hemmer reveal his true feelings in front of him, Dr. Hemer, who is usually serious and rational in the eyes of outsiders, has actually been a little owl who is under great pressure in his heart and full of self-blame and helplessness after failure.

Summer Breeze understood Hemer's feelings.

Although he felt that part of the reason he went to save Ifrit in the fire was that he didn't want to see Hemer's sad appearance, but more importantly, it was for his own sake, and he, like Hemmer, didn't want to see Ifrit turn to ashes in the fire.

Xia Feng smiled and said softly to Hemer.

"Hemer, you don't have to thank me, you may not believe it, in another world parallel to the world of Terra, you and everyone helped me through many difficulties, so this time, I will protect you."

Hemmer wiped away his tears and touched Xia Feng's forehead.

"It seems that I have a little fever, and your injuries have really left sequelae, and you have already started to talk nonsense."

“...........”

"Bang!"

The door to the room was kicked open, and the little fire dragon swaggered in with a bag of fruit.

"Yo, yo-yo, you're finally awake!"

Xia Feng was stunned for a moment, then remembered that his hair was gone again, and immediately shouted at the little fire dragon dissatisfiedly.

"Fuck off, you're just yo-yo, I didn't do this to save you."

After saying this, Xia Feng couldn't help but think, it turns out that there are toys like yo-yos in this world?

The little fire dragon grinned.

"Hehe, thank you, I didn't expect you to be quite good."

With that, the little fire dragon took out a big apple from the plastic bag and stuffed it into Xia Feng's mouth.

"Come, eat the apple."

The big hard apple almost knocked out Xia Feng's front teeth, and he immediately snatched the apple and yelled.

"Damn, you don't peel the apples for the patient, you don't even wash them?"

"Oh, you're such a nuisance."

..............

In the eyes of the higher-ups of Rhine Life, he loves and hates Xia Feng and Ifrit, the two special test subjects, and since he was slapped in the face, that Mr. Abb has not dared to appear in front of him, and now his situation is fully in charge of Hemer.

Subsequently, the white-faced owl, Aina, and Mel all came to visit Xia Feng one after another, and although his body had completely returned to normal, he was still lazy in the hospital bed, enjoying the feeling of being visited by everyone.

.............

In the evening, Serena also hurried over, it seemed that she had just heard the news of Xia Feng's awakening.

Seeing that Xia Feng had completely recovered her original body, she finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then, she smiled at Xia Feng with an unnatural expression.

"That.... Congratulations, recovered, hehe. ”

Obviously, Serena is not good at social activities such as visiting patients and thanks, and most importantly, her serious features are not suitable for laughing.

Serena didn't thank Xia Feng, but she expressed her mood with clumsy actions.

I saw that she quickly took out a wet towel from the bathroom, walked to the summer breeze bed, and said a little stiffly.

"That..... Are you very weak just recovered, or I'll wipe your face for you. ”

On this day, Xia Feng finally enjoyed the same treatment as the little fire dragon at the cost of enduring the pain of turning into barbecue.

............

A week later.

At night, Xia Feng lay on the bed and slept Zhengxiang.

"Squeak!"

Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, and a slender black shadow took advantage of the darkness to quickly enter.

Xia Feng felt the movement next to the bed, and then opened his eyes in a daze.

"it!"

In the darkness, a face was close at hand, and this sudden surprise made Xia Feng tremble.

"Nima, who!"

"It's me."

Xia Feng's drowsiness was swept away, and when he looked closely, this person turned out to be Hemer.

Xia Feng put his hand on his chest.

"Damn, what kind of plane are you doing in the middle of the night!"

The yellow pupils shimmered in the darkness, and I saw Hemer suppressing his voice and speaking softly.

"Xia Feng, I'll tell you one thing, you must not be afraid."

"Nima, how did you keep me from being afraid? Sleeping Zhengxiang, suddenly an owl slammed into the face, and I'm almost scared to death by you now! ”
