Extraordinary pedigree

Chapter 635 Flower of Blood and Bone·Blood Plague VI

‘We did not choose to be born here, but were thrown into this world full of suffering and chaos, like dust driven by the ruthless hand of fate.

Family blood relationship is an inescapable fate that binds everyone together tightly. No matter how we resist, we can never get rid of the invisible bondage.

Many times, there is no "love" in human family relationships. We are all emotional thugs bound by blood.

We are bound by the shackles of blood, born as slaves, unable to escape this invisible cage, and the iron chains of fate are deeply engraved on our souls.

I want to tear apart the hypocritical shackles of blood! 』

‘Blood recipient: William Ned——’

William Ned felt the blood dripping, the strong smell of rust filled his mouth, and the burning pain in his abdomen made her feel like she was burning and dying.

She found herself being tied up and lifted by an invisible force, with her hands and feet bound by a twisted [Mobius strip] in the air, and her body floating in the air.

Her consciousness was blurred, pain and fear intertwined, and the world in front of her seemed to be spinning.

She tried to open her swollen eyes, and her eyelids were heavy as if they were pressed by a thousand-pound weight.

Her vision was blurred, the figures around her were swaying, and the noisy sounds stung her eardrums. The people around her came and went, but it seemed that no one noticed her existence, as if she was just a part of the air, being completely ignored.

Ned's eyes explored the front with difficulty in pain, trying to find a little hope.

Suddenly, her sight was attracted by a familiar figure.

The young man wearing a top hat, holding a cane, and with blond hair and golden eyes.

Ned's heart sank suddenly, and fear struck her heart again.

That was the person she least wanted to see, her nightmare.

The blond young man walked calmly, as if he didn't notice her floating behind him.

Each of his steps was steady and powerful, as if he was walking in his own territory.

The figure of the blond young man was in sharp contrast with the noisy crowd around him. Everything around him seemed to be on a different level from him. Everything seemed to be a passerby, and he was the only one walking alone in the noisy world.

Ned's heart was filled with despair. The blond young man was walking towards a place she was very familiar with - that place was one of the two flesh and blood seeds she left earlier.

She wanted to struggle and shout, but only a faint whimper came out of her throat.

"Woo woo woo~"

She couldn't make a sound.

Under the gaze of William Ned, Xia Xiu took him to a community on the central loop of Beaumont in Lexington.

This community has an elegant environment, shaded by green trees, and neat roads lined with flowers and plants.

Each house is well-designed, with an independent courtyard and neatly trimmed lawns, which looks quiet and warm.

The two came to the front door of the resident's house at No. 512, Block 41, and then, under Ned's horrified gaze, Xia Xiu pushed open the door.

Creak——

As the door was opened, Ned's eyes penetrated the crack of the door and saw the scene inside.

The interior of the house was obviously configured as a mother and baby room, with colorful cartoon murals on the walls and several cute rotating toys hanging on the ceiling. In the middle of the room was a large mother and baby bed, covered with a soft blanket, and baby clothes and bottles were placed next to it.

The floor was covered with soft plastic boards to prevent babies from falling. In the corner of the room, there were also various toys piled up, including building blocks, cars, and plush toys.

Her eyes continued to wander, and finally saw the man, a middle-aged man who looked a little timid, wearing simple home clothes, with a gentle and focused expression.

He was sitting next to the mother and baby bed, gently patting two one-year-old babies, humming soft lullabies, trying to coax them to sleep.

The two babies were wearing small and cute pajamas, their chubby little hands tightly holding the quilt, with innocent and naive eyes.

A strong fear and guilt surged in Ned's heart. She opened her mouth and tried to speak again, but the invisible force shackled her throat and she couldn't make a sound.

Her body was still tied to the [Mobius Strip] in the air, unable to move, and could only watch everything in front of her helplessly.

Xia Xiu stood at the door at this moment, taking off his shoes, his movements were natural and calm.

He held a cane in one hand and gently supported Ned's invisible restraint with the other hand, as if carrying a light luggage.

His golden eyes were calm and sharp. He glanced at the layout of the room, and then walked towards the direction of the father.

Ned's heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

Fortunately, the father and the baby did not notice their presence, and the two of them came straight to the father and the baby.

When Xia Xiu came to the father, his eyes swept over the medicine bottle on the table. It was a bottle of antiretroviral drugs used to control what humans call "love virus" - AIDS.

[Bruce] was clearly written on the medicine bottle.

Watching Bruce teasing the two babies, Xia Xiu extended his index finger and gently touched the back of his head, accompanied by a slight sound.

"Puff——"

Bruce fainted and fell to the ground.

"Aiya~"

"Aiya~"

The two babies blinked their eyes and looked at their father who suddenly fell to the ground. Their chubby little hands tugged at the corners of their father's clothes anxiously, making babbling sounds.

Xia Xiu rarely showed a gentle and loving father's smile, bent down and gently picked up the two babies.

His movements were gentle and delicate, as if he was afraid of disturbing the two little lives.

The babies felt the warmth and security, giggled happily in Xia Xiu's arms, and reached out to touch his face and beautiful hair.

Xia Xiu gently rocked the two children and played with them patiently. The babies' laughter echoed in the room, full of innocence and joy.

They grabbed Xia Xiu's fingers with their little hands and gnawed his thumbs, as if they had found a new toy.

When their fingers touched Xia Xiu, a curtain pop-up window appeared in front of him.

[The Book of Life detected a vulnerability in the Terra gene end scanning——]

[The vulnerability has been fixed! ]

[Specially marked human life has been detected——]

[It has been archived in the database——]

[Ding! 】

[The Ethics Committee applied to intervene in the investigation——]

[The Tribunal applied to intervene in the investigation——]

Xia Xiu just played with the baby silently, and did not immediately choose to agree in the Ethics Committee and the Tribunal.

At this moment, the two children began to doze off after playing tired, their eyelids became heavier, and finally fell asleep in his arms.

Xia Xiu gently put them back on the bed, covered them with a quilt, and then slowly stood up.

He looked at Ned, who had been tied up, unable to speak or resist.

Ned's eyes were fixed on Xia Xiu's cold golden eyes, and his heart was filled with endless fear.

She knew that the gentleness of this blond young man was just an appearance, and those eyes concealed cold murderous intent and ruthlessness.

She felt cold from head to toe, and her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, and she couldn't breathe.

"CCR5 gene editing." Xia Xiu stared at the frightened William Ned with a cold gaze. "The CCR5 gene in the human body encodes a receptor protein on the surface of white blood cells. HIV virus enters cells through this receptor."

"And you, through unconventional experimental means, injected synthetic sgRNA and Cas9 protein into the fertilized embryo cells after obtaining embryos through in vitro fertilization, targeted cutting of the CCR5 gene, and the edited embryos were cultured in vitro for a period of time, and then transplanted back into the mother's uterus for development."

The blond young man stretched out his right hand and opened his tiger's paw, and William Ned automatically floated over, his neck pressed against his tiger's mouth, and was held by him.

"Cough cough cough——"

Ned suddenly found that she could speak, so she argued without hesitation:

"Cough cough cough~ Isn't this good? How big a threat HIV poses to Terra's public health, don't you know that using gene editing to knock out these bad things for humans..."

Xia Xiu did not hesitate to increase the strength of his palm, and Ned's whole face began to turn purple like an eggplant.

"You think you are doing the right thing."

"Do you know that you are polluting the human gene pool by doing this? The application of gene editing technology in human embryos may cause unexpected gene mutations and genetic problems, which may affect the baby's life and even be passed on to future generations."

The changes brought about by the editing will accompany the individual throughout his life and be passed on to his offspring.

This irreversible impact requires extremely high ethical review standards and strict application conditions before it can be considered to have the prerequisites.

CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

This is a technology like Pandora's box.

This gene editing technology is bound to lead to the emergence of the "designer baby" phenomenon.

William Ned is an example, and he will not be an isolated case.

This technology may be used for prenatal therapeutic medical purposes, but if it is abused, it will subvert the principle that all people are born equal, the gap between the rich and the poor will be larger, the disadvantaged population will be eliminated faster, and the genetic diversity of stable and reliable natural evolution will be reduced. And the random editing of genes for commercial interests, which is out of control without sterilization or isolation, will mix risks into the human gene pool.

If the rapid development reaches the point where there are no "pure natural human races" at all, humans will face severe genetic defects, and will be unable to resist the possible large-scale new infectious diseases, cancer, sperm-egg fusion failure and many other problems, which may cause the human race to become extinct.

The genes that are knocked out during gene editing are really knocked out.

If CRISPR-Cas9 technology is allowed to cut human genes at will, then humans will become a kind of exquisite porcelain dolls designed.

There are porcelain dolls, and there are inferior dolls.

Moreover, you can't expect the genes you edit to really reach the right place in the genome and do the right thing.

When you put something into a cell, there are always risks, such as entering the wrong part of the genome, or producing other unknown effects.

In any case, the current Heaven will not allow accidents to occur in the human gene pool of "pure natural human races".

Now is not the time to open Pandora's box.

"Obviously, the flesh... Heaven... these extraordinary sides can do it, so why can humans..."

Ned tried to continue to quibble.

"The extraordinary will return to heaven, and the secular will return to the secular." The fourth sword-bearing man in heaven threw away his hand with disgust, letting Ned float aside.

At this moment, the pinch marks on Ned's neck were still there. She gasped and her face was extremely pale.

"As long as the Kingdom of Heaven does not allow it, you cannot cross this line."

The Kingdom of Heaven can ignore the things on the extraordinary side, but other people cannot touch the secular side.

A trace of fear and worry flashed in Ned's eyes. She barely raised her head and her voice trembled.

"What do you want to do... kill the two children..."

Her eyes were full of worry, and her pupils reflected the fear of her own fate and the worry about the two innocent children.

In the current scene, the fourth sword-bearing man in the Kingdom of Heaven looked like a villain in a traditional story, while William Ned was a kind-hearted man with compassion.

"Scum, shut your mouth, don't look at the two children with that kind of eyes, put away your hypocritical and false face, your current posture really makes me feel sick."

The blond youth's golden eyes glanced at William Ned with contempt, and he pointed out what Ned really cared about.

"Your gene-edited baby experiment is full of lies. You took advantage of information asymmetry, seized the weakness of AIDS patients who were eager to give birth, and took advantage of their actual financial difficulties, half coaxing and half deceiving these volunteer families to give it a try."

"You are not a doctor either. You should have started theoretical experiments at most, not clinical research."

"You desire fame more than anyone else, you desire immortality more than anyone else, and you hate the existence of 'family' more than anyone else."

"You are just a monster who keeps asking for things from the outside in order to break blood ties and make up for your childhood trauma."

Ned's expression became stiff in an instant. The words "family" and "blood ties" deeply hurt her sensitive source.

Ned's face became uglier and uglier, and her eyes changed from horror to resentment, as if Xia Xiu had revealed the most secret secret in her heart.

"You...why don't you understand..." Ned's voice trembled, "You clearly read my notes, you should know that I did the right thing!!!"

"Today's families are all deformed and perverted, they are all alienated, they are no longer just a collection of kinship relations, but an economic unit; the structure and form of the family are closely related to the economic foundation of society, the fathers in the family have the right to dominate and control the family members, and within the family, the status of men and women, the distribution of power, etc. are all affected by the production relations."

"And these are all wrong and should be abolished. The real family should not be an economic unit, but a voluntary combination based on equality and freedom."

The fourth sword bearer in the Kingdom of Heaven looked at William Ned, who was roaring wildly.

This time, in addition to the original undisguised disgust, the golden eyes also had a trace of...pity.

He was pitying his enemy, pitying a poor creature.

"You! You! You!"

"Don't look at me like that!!!"

"Don't look at me like that!!!"

"Don't look at me like that!!!"

Ned's face was twisted with anger and shame, her breathing became rapid, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Through gene screening and optimization, ensure that every child grows up in a healthy environment and reduce domestic violence and neglect caused by genetic factors!!!"

"What's wrong with this!!!"

"Compile human genes for goodness and delete human genes for evil, isn't that good?"

Xia Xiu's eyes were filled with pity, and he couldn't help but ask back:

"Are you taming Pavlov's dog?"

At the end, he couldn't help but add one sentence.

"You lack love more than I thought."
