I Became the Rich Second-Generation Villain - Chapter 32: I Am a Speaker
Chapter 32: I Am a Speaker
Prehistoric human stone statue!?
At that moment, Shen Feng’s sensitivity to the words “stone statue” reached its peak. He instantly remembered that the Stone Statue Virus from the Stone Statue Apocalypse was found under the Arctic ice sheet!
This was all too much of a coincidence!
He hoped it was just an ordinary prehistoric civilization relic. He hoped he was wrong…
Shen Feng immediately took out the newly bought phone from his pocket and began checking the morning news.
He found the news about the Ice Dragon Expedition Team, clicked on the video, and the broadcaster’s voice immediately came out, accompanied by footage of the team’s expedition at the North Pole.
On the vast ice field, a huge drilling rig and crane stood tall. A group of men and women wearing the expedition team’s protective suits were excitedly shouting and yelling.
From a circular hole about one meter in diameter, something was being slowly lifted up.
The camera zoomed in, making the lifted object extremely clear.
It was a stone statue the size of a real person, depicting an old man. Although unknown how long it had been, the statue’s surface had become somewhat weathered, but it was carved vividly overall.
Especially the details; the hair and wrinkles on the hands were incredibly fine and clear.
Looking at this statue, Shen Feng instantly felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.
No mistake!
This was a human statue from after someone was infected with the Stone Statue Disease!
The statue was suspended in mid-air, slowly turning around to reveal its face.
Seeing the statue’s face, Shen Feng suddenly shuddered all over. He felt all the hairs on his body stand up, as if he was now on the Arctic ice field at dozens of degrees below zero.
This face… looked somewhat familiar!
He had seen it before, but that was in the Stone Statue Apocalypse!
This was… that director from the Huicheng Disease Control Center research lab!
It looked like him, it really did look exactly like him!
What in the world was going on!?
Did this statue truly belong to the world of the Stone Statue Apocalypse?
Why did it come to his world?
Or was it…
Shen Feng shuddered again, thinking of another extremely bizarre possibility. Could the Earth he was on and the Stone Statue Apocalypse be the same Earth? Could there be no parallel universe, just a difference in time?
Was the Stone Statue Apocalypse he traveled to simply Earth from a previous civilization era?
Then Shen Feng shook his head vigorously. No, if that were the case, how to explain those songs?
Many songs he heard and things he saw in the Stone Statue Apocalypse also existed in the current world. It definitely couldn’t be the same Earth at a different time…
Or, was the Stone Statue Apocalypse he traveled to the future of this current world?
Was what he saw a future doomsday scene?
That wasn’t right either… The names of various cities in the Stone Statue Apocalypse, and some other details, were also different from this current world…
Shen Feng felt utterly confused. Then he heard the news report again:
“The stone statue under the Arctic ice field is roughly the size of a real person. The craftsmanship is superb and incredibly lifelike. It is temporarily impossible to determine what tools were used to carve it. According to carbon-14 testing, it is at least five hundred thousand years old.”
“At the same time, according to Captain Sun of the Ice Dragon Expedition Team, there are more items and even structures under this thousand-meter ice field. This is very likely a prehistoric civilization site!”
“If everything goes smoothly, this could even unravel the global picture of ancient humans before Homo sapiens dominated the Earth, becoming one of the most significant discoveries of this century!”
“…”
Kneeling nearby, Li Chang saw the teenager in front of him frequently furrowing his brows, even holding his head in his hands and hitting his temples hard. He looked frantic, which made Li Chang somewhat worried.
Had they run into someone with bipolar disorder or something?
He heard people with that illness don’t get punished for killing. How do you reason with a patient?
I’m never getting involved in this gang life again!
He carefully said with a concerned expression:
“Brother Feng, Brother Feng, are you feeling unwell? Do you want us brothers to take you to the school clinic? The weather’s too hot, getting heatstroke would be troublesome. It’s the hottest part of summer now, gotta watch out for the heat…”
Shen Feng took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and couldn’t be bothered with them. He turned and walked towards the school.
No matter what the current situation was, focusing on his own business was the right thing to do. If this world was really about to have a Stone Statue Disease outbreak, he at least needed to be able to control his own power and then spread all the research data on the Stone Statue Disease.
Li Chang was right, he did need to go to the hospital, but not the school clinic.
Seeing Shen Feng just walk away like that, Li Chang grew anxious and shouted from afar:
“Brother Feng, what about us? Can we go now? Or do we keep kneeling…”
…
Shen Feng went to his class to ask his homeroom teacher, Lao Li, for leave. After getting permission, he took a taxi to the downtown hospital.
Since Shen Feng rarely asked for leave and looked pale, Lao Li insisted on accompanying him. After much refusal from Shen Feng, he finally gave up.
Still, it genuinely warmed Shen Feng’s heart.
At the hospital, Shen Feng didn’t need to say much. He just mentioned a headache, and the doctor immediately gave him a request for a brain CT scan. He then directly requested a full-body checkup.
Fortunately, because it was early and there weren’t many patients, Shen Feng only had to wait two or three hours after finishing the scans to get the images.
To be exact, his images went directly to the chief physician of neurosurgery, who personally invited him into the consultation room.
Chief Neurosurgeon Liu Peihong of the downtown hospital had Shen Feng’s images on his desk. Seeing Shen Feng, he suddenly showed a look of pity:
“Young man, you… are Shen Feng?”
Shen Feng nodded: “Hello, doctor. Yes, I’m Shen Feng.”
Liu Peihong then asked: “Where are your family members? Why isn’t a family member with you?”
Shen Feng smiled slightly: “I’m an orphan. You can tell me whatever it is, I can accept it.”
This Director Liu was quite responsible.
Hearing Shen Feng’s words, Liu Peihong felt even more regretful. He sighed and said:
“Shen Feng, I’ve looked at your scans. To be honest, they aren’t very good…”
He tried to choose his words carefully, then continued:
“This kind of case of yours, it’s the first time I’ve seen it. It’s really… really…”
Shen Feng said seriously: “Director Liu, just tell me directly. I can handle it.”
The teenager’s resolute gaze caught Liu Peihong off guard. He felt a slight shock inwardly, realizing he shouldn’t treat him like a child. He took a deep breath and said gravely:
“The internal structure of your brain shows a large number of cavities and fibrous structures. It somewhat resembles the brain spongiosis caused by mad cow disease prions. Frankly, the fact that you can stand here and talk to me normally is already a miracle…”
“Additionally, your chest CT shows you have developed two tumors inside your chest cavity, right at the location of your lungs… At the same time, your bones also show pathological changes, with clear signs of osteoporosis and internal cavities…”
Shen Feng asked: “Is that all?”
Liu Peihong was stunned. Wasn’t that enough? For an ordinary person, any one of these conditions would be completely devastating.
But he didn’t know if the teenager was too shocked to react or had become numb. He sighed and continued:
“To be honest, with this degree of pathological change, modern medicine is basically powerless… Even with chemotherapy and major, deep surgery, it would only add to your suffering and waste money…”
The other person was too young. He really couldn’t bear to say more. Lowering his voice, he added:
“Try to fulfill any unfinished wishes as soon as possible. Go back, eat well, drink well, don’t overthink things. Being happy is the most important thing. Don’t leave regrets.”
Shen Feng nodded: “Thank you, Director Liu. I’ll take the images back myself. Hope we meet again… By the way, can I ask how much time I have left?”
Liu Peihong, looking pained, held up two fingers: “Two months…”
After taking the CT images home, Shen Feng began examining them carefully himself.
He naturally understood that the changes in his body weren’t pathological diseases, but rather transformations caused by various viruses and agents.
However, he could understand the changes in his brain and bones. But what were the tumors in his chest?
From the images, there were two large shadows in his chest, almost as if he had four lungs.
But there was no way to check further for now. He couldn’t just get open-chest surgery, right?
Right now, what he most wanted to test was how to use his silicified brain.
Turning on his old, beat-up laptop, Shen Feng concentrated, trying to connect his brain to the laptop for information transmission.
Taking a deep breath, he imagined himself as a computer. He began visualizing the process of information transmission in his mind.
This time, he wanted to transfer information from the computer back into his brain.
But after waiting for a long time, whether he imagined himself as a USB drive, a media player, or even as a keyboard, nothing happened at all. He almost started to wonder if he was just delusional.
Rubbing his throbbing temples, Shen Feng sighed. He clicked on the music player software on his computer, planning to listen to a song and relax first.
The moment he pressed play, passionate music immediately blared:
“…i know i know i’ve let you down…”
Shen Feng was startled, jumping up suddenly and pressing his hands against his chest.
A bass-like vibration was coming from inside his chest cavity. He had turned into a speaker!
