Gu Jingtian let out a helpless laugh. "You should know some of this. After these nineteen children are detoxified, they will be assigned to a special department for training. Their parents' jobs will also be adjusted accordingly. Of course, if the parents are only children, they are allowed to have another child. Although these children remain theirs, their names will no longer appear on the household registration."
Zhu Yanyi frowned slightly. "Doesn't that make these nineteen children unregistered?"
"Not exactly. Their household registration is a secret. Basically, except for the boss, no one else can know of their existence. Naturally, if the aftereffects are not too severe after you detoxify them, we can make further arrangements," Gu Jingtian explained seriously.
Zhu Yanyi smiled helplessly. She understood now. Gu Jingtian had said so much, but she was really just trying to confirm the issue of aftereffects.
After pondering for a moment, Zhu Yanyi spoke. "Metamorphosis is not just a change in the poison itself, but also a change in the body. Through metamorphosis, the body transforms from ordinary to extraordinary. At the very least, sensitivity, speed, and strength will change. If the constitution is good, other abilities might be triggered."
"What do you mean by 'other abilities'?" Gu Jingtian asked.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. Knowing Gu Jingtian was a doctor and didn't understand poison, she patiently explained. "Metamorphosis was originally cultivated by ten thousand insects. It is a form of evolution for gu. However, it has some invisible abilities that gu lacks. The biggest anomaly of metamorphosis is the word 'change.' Besides the usual increase in abilities, some might develop memory enhancement, such as never forgetting what they hear or see. Others might develop special abilities, commonly known as superpowers, such as mind-reading, or having eyes and ears that reach a thousand miles."
"So powerful," Gu Jingtian said. "If we create metamorphosis, can't we create people with superpowers?"
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Gu Jingtian. "What are you saying? Do you think metamorphosis is something you can pick up on the street? Or buy at a pharmacy like Banlangen?"
"Cough, cough. Banlangen isn't easy to buy either. Recently, everyone bought it for prevention. It’s almost sold out," Old Master Yao added, stepping on him.
Gu Jingtian was speechless. He looked at Old Master Yao with a pitiful expression. "Master, am I your disciple or not? Is this how you step on me?"
Old Master Yao chuckled. "You all say I favor Ani. Yes, I do favor her." Seeing Old Master Yao’s expression of 'I will step on you if I want to,' Gu Jingtian was speechless again. He sighed and continued. "Alright, I won't say it. Junior Sister will explain."
Zhu Yanyi giggled. "Not everyone can use metamorphosis. There is an age limit. It must be used on children between five and seven years old. That is the first rule. Second, even if they gain abilities, they are not permanent. Some superpowers last only a few seconds, likely becoming useless."
Gu Jingtian understood Zhu Yanyi’s meaning. The Chinese were not cruel or inhumane. Unlike those in Japan, they would not use humans for experiments. In China, every child was precious. Metamorphosis was a poison; if it went wrong, it meant a life. Naturally, they could not let children try it. Thinking of this, Gu Jingtian said, "Although no one in China would do this, we cannot guarantee other countries won't have this idea. Therefore, the matter of aftereffects cannot be revealed."
