"No need, Old Peng, we're not sleepy. If you have something to say, you can tell us now."

The group of four entered the doctor's room with B2, putting on a relaxed demeanor.

"You all..."

"Don't worry, we can understand you."

"Alright," Old Peng nodded but added, "If any of you are ordinary people, it's best to avoid this, it might shorten your life."

Shorten life?

Everyone turned their gaze to B2.

The latter expressionlessly took out a pendant from his clothes and shook it nonchalantly.

Goodness, coming equipped to tackle the "instance" again.

To this, Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi snorted disdainfully.

For this former rival department, they definitely wouldn't show a good face.

As Jiang Xiao puts it, they are "old friends who love and kill each other."

Old Peng closed his eyes, seemingly calming himself, before speaking again after a long pause.

"How much do you know about this matter?"

"God, virus, ocean High Priest, history, and humans exhibiting unusual changes now."

Jiang Xiao succinctly summarized the four keywords.

And it must be said, the issues of the ocean High Priest and history were unearthed by him alone.

Old Peng nodded, then stared intensely at Jiang Xiao's face.

"Do you know what he left me before he died?"

"What?"

"Transformation!"

"What?"

"He said, God might want to transform all of humanity!"

Ridiculous!

True or false?

Shi Shi and the other three strange ones widened their eyes.

The "beautiful vision" of their Kaidan world was just to wipe out all humanity.

And that's still just a "vision," a lifetime goal that's extremely, extremely, extremely difficult to achieve.

Moreover, "transform all of humanity" is infinitely more complex and challenging than "wipe out all humanity."

"Is this the doctor's speculation?" Jiang Xiao tentatively asked.

"No!" Old Peng seemed very agitated: "It's not speculation! He has his proof!"

Immediately afterward, Old Peng, perhaps out of nervousness or excitement, shakily stood up and pulled out a note scribbled with "ghostly symbols."

"This is what he managed to write in a brief moment of sanity before he died."

Touching the handwriting on the paper, Old Peng's eyes were full of reminiscence and sorrow but also carried a hint of pride.

"Heh, maybe no one else can even decipher what he wrote. Apart from me, there's likely no second person in the world who understands the content of this paper."

"Oh, Grandpa Peng, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us quickly, I'm dying to know!"

Shi Shi, with a scrunched-up face, couldn't help but shake Old Peng's arm urging him.

"It's about gene lock data, as well as his analysis and prediction of the virus's future developments."

Old Peng candidly said.

The bizarre changes in the human body occurring now, 'God' falls within the doctor's prediction!

Impressive!

Jiang Xiao and the others could only describe the doctor this way.

"He even anticipated 'God's' next moves, but unfortunately, maybe that's precisely why the doctor..."

"No."

Unexpectedly, Old Peng shook his head again.

"His death has nothing to do with predicting God's next move, because he wasn't speculating on God's actions, but deducing from the virus on the patients."

Jiang Xiao agreed, God is indescribable, unobservable, unspeakable.

If the doctor really tried to "predict" God's next move, he'd probably have died on the spot.

"Then what about the gene lock you mentioned earlier?"

"Do you know where the limits of humanity lie?" Old Peng asked the five of them.

Jiang Xiao was taken aback, indicating that he had long surpassed human limits, so he didn't know where the limits of the human body were.

B2 took out a dozen "items" haphazardly from his pocket, seriously indicating that his limit depended on how many gadgets he took with him when he went out.

Taoist Duobao?

Since B2 held a relatively high position in the Weird Administration Bureau, and with the current chaotic situation, many projects at the Bureau could be used freely after a simple report.

As for Shi Shi and Wang Dayong, they weren't human at all, so they were even more unaware of where human limits lay.

Old Peng took a deep look at Jiang Xiao, then spoke.

The gene lock shouldn't actually be called gene lock; it should be called the combination of spirit miracle and life miracle.

For example, those famous hypnosis experiments:

A cold iron bar can burn someone.

An old woman lifts a car to save her grandson.

A mother runs a hundred meters in five seconds to save a son who's falling from a building, things like these.

This is because they induce unconscious self-hypnosis in critical situations.

And dying from exhaustion is not due to genetic collapse and potential depletion.

It's simply because after self-hypnosis, the organ functions disorder, and the accelerated cell division during the burst exhausts a person's lifespan.

"Can you... understand this?"

The five of them touched their chins, appearing thoughtful.

"Got it." x5

"Honestly speaking."

"Didn't get it." x5

"Pretending to understand!"

With a look of exasperation, Old Peng said, regardless of age, this tendency to pretend to understand exists in humans, a fundamental flaw in human nature!

"How long a creature can live depends on how many times its cells can divide."

"Two cells resulting from one cell dividing are not identical to before; part of the genes in the nucleus gets damaged."

"After a certain number of divisions, these cells can no longer divide to create new cells due to genetic damage, and one ages and dies!"

"Can you understand this?"

"Yes!" x5

This is easily understandable, isn't it just the process of aging and death?

"The gene lock is the shackle that prevents humans from forcibly unleashing the burst of internal cells, now do you understand?"

Worried about Jiang Xiao and the others' dimwitted brains, Old Peng gave a few more examples.

Just like Boxer Li Dalong, the youngest person to have a natural death in history.

He died because of overtraining, too rapid metabolism, and prematurely using up the cell division counts.

Not just him, many professional Thai boxers don't live past forty due to similar reasons!

It's like compressing a lifespan of more than a hundred years into several decades, of course, they're much more impressive than ordinary people.

The grandma who lifted the car to save her grandson compressed part of her remaining life into those few seconds.

As long as there's enough lifespan to pay, at that time, don't even mention a car, she could flip a yacht for you!

However, her body couldn't withstand such an outburst, so she passed away.

Jiang Xiao and the others showed an enlightened expression.

They now fully understand what a gene lock is.

It's an invisible shackle to protect humans from excessively depleting their life force.

In the end, Old Peng looked very serious, "But now, this lock is broken, or, rather, it's been tampered with!"
