"A machine that turns people back to their youth?" Nymph blinked.
She looked Lu Ye up and down and felt that he didn't need to be "younger" in any way.
Under Nymph's curious gaze, Lu Ye explained the whole story.
After agreeing to Emma and the others' request, Lu Ye went with them to Ashina Country.
When he met Isshin Ashina, he did look much older than when Lu Ye first met him.
Isshin Ashina was thin, and his light blue robe was open, revealing rows of protruding ribs. But at least he had a large frame, and whether drinking or wielding a sword, he always stood up straight, like a sturdy pine tree in the forest.
However, Ashina Isshin can no longer straighten his back; his body is slightly hunched, and his katana, which he used to carry and polished to a gleaming shine, could almost be used as a cane.
When Ashina Isshin saw Lu Ye arrive, he dismissed everyone present, including the hawks roaming the nearby rooftops, and went to drink a few cups with him.
To be honest, Lu Ye thought this guy was a complete drunkard since his organs were almost failing. But then he thought, he was almost gone, and it wasn't an illness, it was just normal aging. Even the best medicine couldn't help him. So, couldn't he enjoy some of his favorite things in the last moments of his life?
After a few drinks, Isshin took the long sword from the wall and led Lu Ye all the way to the castle tower. The journey, which should have taken only ten minutes, took Lu Ye an hour to complete. Having not been out for a long time, Isshin strolled around leisurely, as if trying to memorize everything he saw.
As for the results of the subsequent battles... they were not even remotely satisfactory.
Even in his old age, Isshin still had his pride, and facing the former Ashina Sword Saint, Lu Ye naturally didn't hold back. Isshin's mind was still sharp, his combat experience was rich, and the angle of his sword swings was still perfect. When he swung his sword with one hand, it was like poetically cutting through autumn leaves, but unfortunately, his body could no longer keep up with the speed of his mind.
It's not that you have to be so weak that you can't get out of bed to be considered nearing the end of your life. Lu Ye knows that many healthy elderly people in the countryside, who are in their eighties or almost nineties, were working in the fields one day and passed away peacefully the next.
After the battle ended, Yixin put down his sword, his tone filled with melancholy.
He was dying, his body was failing, and he couldn't even have a proper fight.
He said without exaggeration that his body was stronger when he was sick a year ago than it is now.
"If I could have one more fight to my heart's content, I would die without regrets..."
Lu Ye couldn't quite understand the thought process of people like Alexander the Conqueror and Isshin Ashina, but he respected their ideas. After all, he couldn't expect people like Isshin Ashina and Alexander, who lived in different times and had different backgrounds, to have the same views on something.
For someone like Isshin Ashina, who fought his entire life, dying on the battlefield would be a kind of honor.
So Lu Ye decided to fulfill the old man's wish.
If he could be about thirty years younger and reach his prime, that would be fine.
"So it was for helping someone. I thought it was for yourself." Nymph breathed a sigh of relief.
"So... you can do it?" Lu Ye asked, somewhat surprised.
"Hmph, of course. Unlike the rigid α and the useless Δ, I am an artificial angel for electronic warfare. Rejuvenation is a piece of cake. I can make it tomorrow by working overtime tonight."
"So amazing!?" Lu Ye exclaimed in surprise.
"With the quantum converter and the previously developed medical robot as data references, studying you carbon-based beings is not difficult for me. Alright, alright, I'm going to get to work now. You can leave."
With that, Nymph kicked Lu Ye out of the laboratory.
The next afternoon.
We had just finished lunch, and there weren't any guests visiting.
Apart from Violet, Esdeath, Agil, and Smarag who went out to buy clothes, everyone else in the house was relaxing in the living room.
Icarus opened the blinds of the French windows, and the winter sun shone into the room, making it exceptionally warm.
A-Mei and Chaos are playing a mobile game, Astraea is having dessert after her meal, and the sisters Kurome and Akame are playing Road Rash...
As for Marika and Melina...
They were on the balcony, discussing the Black Knife Assassins.
As everyone knows, the Black Knife Assassins come from the Eternal City, which worships the stars. Although the borderlands eventually ushered in the Age of the Stars, the Knoxians were not satisfied. They believed that Lani's act of taking the Law away from the borderlands was irresponsible and extremely selfish. They were so anxious because they couldn't even see the Law they had longed for for so long. So they drove the Black Knife Assassins who helped Lu Ye and Lani out of the Eternal City.
Although the Golden Law has been removed from the borderlands, those who still believe in it are now in a state of extreme rage and sorrow. In addition, the existence of the Black Knife Assassins has been exposed, leaving them with no other choice but to pin their hopes on Marika.
Lu Ye didn't really resist the black-knife assassins. After all, the room was just sitting empty anyway, so it would be nice to have someone use it and clean it every day.
Marika and Melina had more to worry about than just that. Of course, they had no problem with the Black Knife Assassin. The two were just discussing the security of the passage and preparing to install some protective measures to ensure that no "Outer God power" would invade.
At that moment, Nymph found Lu Ye in the living room, carrying the device she had created.
This device is like a high-end cryogenic chamber, just big enough to hold one person, and filled with an unknown blue liquid.
"what is this?"
Akame, who was playing Road Rash on the sofa, was distracted, which led to Kurome, who was controlling a motorcyclist, kicking her character to the ground and eliminating her from the game, before revealing a triumphant smile.
However, not only Akame, but everyone else was also attracted by the device in front of them.
"Ahem, let me give you a brief introduction," Nymph said proudly. "This is the 'Rejuvenation' device, also known as the 'Age Reversal Device'!"
"Rejuvenation?" A-Tui curiously leaned closer.
"Yes, literally, it can make people look younger, so that their skin no longer sags and their bodies no longer age."
"Is it really that amazing?" Marika was also surprised by Nymph's words.
Even the Golden Law cannot reverse aging. In the prime of the golden tree, it could only extend human lifespan, but could not stop aging or even reverse the natural process of aging.
“Of course,” Nymph said. “To put it simply, the key to rejuvenation lies in the blue liquid in this chamber.”
"In nature, the immortal jellyfish can reverse aging, so reversing aging is not absolutely impossible. Human aging is caused by cellular aging, and the reduction of telomeres and rDNA in adult stem cells is the only cause of aging..."
Everyone looked completely bewildered.
“Okay, okay… I’ll explain briefly,” Nymph said helplessly. “All the tissues and cells of carbon-based organisms are constantly being renewed. The device I developed can restore the human body to its previous state.”
“Although I didn’t understand what you said before, from what you’re saying, all I have to do is soak in it, right?” A-Tui asked.
"How long did it take you to make this amazing thing?" Akame asked.
“It started yesterday.”
"That's amazing... to achieve that in just one day..."
"If the nobles in the old capital knew about this, they'd probably fight tooth and nail over it," Black Eyes retorted.
Nymph felt a little guilty in the face of Akame's praise.
In fact, she had been developing this device for a long time.
After arriving at this home, Nymph had already begun to think.
As an artificial angel, her lifespan is as long as time itself. If she wants to prevent Lu Ye, Violet, and the others from becoming old men and women, she can only rely on Synapse's technology.
So she secretly returned to Synapse, found Daedalus, and obtained technical and material support. She made a prototype that was close to the finished product. But what could she do when she was in the laboratory all day? There was no soap opera or the smell of snacks.
Nymph started to get lazy. Anyway, there were still decades to go, so there was no rush to do it slowly.
Rather than rejuvenation, healing and treating illnesses seemed more practical, so she turned her attention to researching easier medical robots. All she had to do was tap a few times during her breaks from watching soap opera commercials, and the laboratory's automation would begin working.
“However, experimental data is still lacking,” Nymph said.
"How about using rats?"
"No, if it's for human use, the reference value of rats is not very meaningful."
“I understand,” Lu Ye said at this moment. “Since it was my request, let’s use me as the experiment first!”
Chapter 701 He's Six Years Old
"Wait a minute, isn't this a bit too radical?" Astraea asked nervously as she approached. "Nymph-senpai is known for making mistakes all the time!"
"What? I don't often make mistakes! Even if it doesn't work, the stuff inside is absolutely harmless to the human body!" Nymph immediately retorted.
“I have no doubt about Senior Nymph’s machine technology.”
Since it concerned Lu Ye's safety, Astraea unusually argued seriously with Nymph.
"After all, Nymph is a clumsy person who can't even do housework properly. She's always breaking plates because of her carelessness. Icarus-senpai doesn't even let you into the kitchen anymore. Wouldn't it be troublesome if something went wrong?"
"For example?" Kuroko asked.
"For example, this is clearly a device to reverse aging, but Lu Ye turns into an old man as soon as he goes in. Isn't that terrifying? He's already an idiot now, and when he gets old he'll be an old idiot... oh no, I mean, he'll have Alzheimer's!"
"Honestly, you have absolutely no right to call others idiots, okay?" A-Tui retorted.
Faced with Astraea's incisive accusations, Nymph's face immediately turned red, indicating that she was aware of her bad habit.
"Don't worry, this machine doesn't have any complicated operations. You just need to stay inside the instrument for a period of time in a specific environment!"
After confirming its safety, Nymph pushed the machine back into the laboratory.
On the way, she explained some things about this "age reversal device".
Reversing aging doesn't require complicated procedures. You simply need to enter the machine, where the liquid interacts with the machine, and set the time according to the desired age. Then, just wait patiently.
The compartment opened, and the liquid inside lay quietly. It looked somewhat viscous, but in reality, its fluidity was no different from that of water.
"Do I need to take off my clothes?" Lu Ye asked.
"No need, but you should still take off your coat and shoes."
Lu Ye took off her clothes and lay down inside.
The cold touch made him shiver, but he quickly got used to it.
Nimf helped Luye take the sleeping pills, and then put her on a respirator.
When the machine starts operating, the outer glass cover will be closed. To prevent Lu Ye from feeling uncomfortable in the enclosed space, the sleeping pills can help Lu Ye fall into a sweet, baby-like sleep in a short time. By the time he wakes up, he should be almost asleep.
The machine shuts down and begins operation.
Nymph dismissed the others from the lab, since it wasn't a place for ordinary people; it would be troublesome if they encountered anything strange.
However, Astraea insisted on staying there to prevent Nymph from making any mistakes.
Seeing how persistent this blonde, big-breasted idiot was, Nymph shrugged and let her be.
Afterwards, Nymph set up a small stool, sat on it, took out her game console, and prepared to continue playing games. However, she was stunned when she opened the interface because the top of the list was a recently played game called "Red Dead Redemption 2: The Untold Story of My Relationship with Valentine".
"Astraea, did you steal my game console again?" Nymph asked.
"No way! I've been focusing my energy these past few days on tricking Chaos into having dessert after dinner... no, I mean helping her manage her figure... Anyway, it must have been A-Tui who stole it! I saw her using your game console last time."
"Hmph... It doesn't matter what games you play, as long as you don't touch my save file."
Nymph hummed softly, gently swaying her blue twin tails, and continued playing the game she hadn't yet completed.
As for Lu Ye, she wasn't worried at all.
