Chapter 144.2 The Hacker Race: The Yis
Liu Xing chuckled and pointed to the "Electric Therapy Device" in his hand, saying, "Professor Yang, this Electric Therapy Device looks very advanced. It must be expensive. I’ll have to be careful when using it."
Professor Yang smiled and shook his head, saying, "Although I imported these Electric Therapy Devices from abroad, they’re not too pricey. The quality is excellent, and even if you were to drop it from the second floor, it wouldn’t suffer too much damage. So, Liu Xing, you don’t have to worry too much. Just use it properly."
"Understood, Professor Yang," Liu Xing nodded, putting the Electric Therapy Device back in its original place.
"By the way, Liu Xing, you can follow me later and learn how to use the Electric Therapy Device. By tomorrow, when we conduct electrotherapy, you’ll be able to use it on your own," Professor Yang said with a smile, leading Liu Xing back to the "Treatment" waiting area, chatting about this and that.
However, during this conversation, Liu Xing also gained a lot of information, such as Professor Yang’s past...
Over a decade ago, after graduating from a medical school, Professor Yang started working at a rural health clinic and got married, having a son named Yang Kong the following year.
Although Professor Yang’s life after marriage was somewhat impoverished, it was quite happy. However, happy days are fleeting.
When Yang Kong was about to start elementary school, Professor Yang’s wife wanted him to attend school in the County Town, but Yang Kong would have to pay a school selection fee, which although not exorbitant, was a significant burden for Professor Yang. Therefore, Professor Yang refused his wife’s idea.
The separation between Professor Yang and his wife lasted for over a decade, with his wife only bringing Yang Kong back to visit during holidays. This was a crucial reason for the poor relationship between Professor Yang and Yang Kong.
After listening to Professor Yang’s story, Liu Xing was confused, as this didn’t match the expected plot at all!
But Liu Xing was now certain that Professor Yang’s true identity was actually that of the great Yis People, a superior race in the Cthulhu Mythos, known for their ability to exchange spiritual consciousness with other beings across time, gaining eternal life and infinite knowledge. In simple terms, the Yis People could possess the bodies of other creatures, earning them the nickname "body-snatchers."
According to the Necronomicon and the Eltdown Shards, about 480 million years ago, the Yis People crossed the galaxy from their destroyed world, Yis, to Earth, exchanging consciousness with the native species to gain the ability to act on Earth.
The Yis People’s physical form before coming to Earth was unknown. The host they chose was a 10-foot-tall, cone-shaped creature that lived in what is now Australia. It moved using its adhesive layer on the bottom and had sensory organs on the ends of its four long limbs. Two of the limbs ended in massive claws, which were used for communication by colliding and rubbing against each other. The third limb had a funnel-shaped organ, and the fourth connected to a sphere with three eyes, about two feet in diameter - the most well-known form of the Yis People.
However, after about 200 million years of prosperity on Earth, the Yis People were sealed away by the blind ones who escaped from the underground city, destroying the "great race’s" civilization. But the Yis People had foreseen this and began preparing for a mass migration from the late Mesozoic era, transferring their consciousness to a dominant species, a resilient insect-like creature, about 20,000 years after humanity’s extinction.
So, the Yis People, who could travel through time and possess other beings, were almost invincible. Now, Professor Yang, who had been possessed by the Yis People while taking sleeping pills, was a concern for Liu Xing. But what puzzled Liu Xing was why the Yis People, who possessed Professor Yang, cared so much about Yang Kong?
Just as Liu Xing was thinking about this, a middle-aged man, accompanied by about ten internet-addicted teenagers, walked into Treatment Room 1.
