Chapter 306 Leeches
It was a leech, about the size of a palm. Its whole body was almost dark green, with light yellow lines crawling straight and parallel across its evenly wrinkled body. It was floating quietly in the nutrient solution, with a spotlight shining on its body. Beautiful white spots are reflected on the watch, and along with the bubbles and slight squirming, it will make people feel psychologically uncomfortable.
Lin Nian knew this thing, but they usually didn't call it leech by its scientific name, but called it "leech". It is more common in the green and humid countryside. It is a very annoying and disgusting creature that can It sticks to the human body surface without the person being aware of it, cuts open the human skin with its toothed jaws, and sucks blood. It also secretes an anesthetic and a histamine-like compound that dilates blood vessels, making it impossible for the wound to heal and also causing the wound to heal. Unable to feel pain.
Sure enough, the theme of tonight's trading party is weird and weird. The more bizarre the trading items are, the more they will be put on stage for auction. However, compared to the wizard's braid that was auctioned before, this giant leech is relatively 'normal', after all. This is the first time anyone has seen a leech that can grow to such a big size. It would be very interesting to put it as a dried specimen in the "Mythical Beast Museum" in the amusement park along with the 'Giant Rat' and 'Xuanwu' , and for those who know how to play, add the title of "Chernobyl Nuclear Radiation Leech", which may be very attractive to those who are curious about the tickets.
Lin Nian was not very interested in the leeches in the glass bottle. He was even a little disgusted and psychologically uncomfortable. When he saw leeches, he would think of the word parasitism, and then think of the news he had seen on the Internet before, saying that they were rare parasitic species. The leeches will enter the human body through the respiratory tract and mouth and become parasitic.
After drinking raw water and accidentally eating leech cubs, the leeches can remain in the human stomach for more than a year. After frequent stomachaches and gastric bleeding and seeking medical treatment, the leeches can still remain on the surgical clips when they are removed by surgery. The squirming is enough to show the strong vitality of this gadget.
Lin Nian was about to look away, but found that Chu Zihang and Wan Boqian beside him were stunned. He frowned, thinking that the situation like the first trading item 'Hope Diamond' had happened again, but at this time he When he glanced at the audience seats below the opera house from the corner of his eye, he was also stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It was at this time that the trader on the stage slowly began to introduce the twenty-two trading items here: "Have you ever heard of eternal life?"
The vast infield was actually quiet. From the moment Transaction No. 22 came onto the stage, people in the entire opera house fell into deathly silence. They held their breath and their bodies were frozen in place like plaster, leaving only the feeling of Ju's eyes focused on the huge leech, and even the sound of breathing could not be heard in the venue.
Eternal life, the moment these two words were spoken, the opera house became quietly 'restless'
No one spoke, but there was indeed restlessness spreading and climbing in the empty hall, like blood-thirsty leeches, leaving slippery, blood-red marks on the floor, walls, and faces inch by inch.
The unstoppable heartbeat of the crowd ignited the entire venue. The noisy heartbeat beat hard in everyone's chest, constantly raising the pressure on the blood. While holding their breath, the expressions on their faces showed a different expression. It was a normal flush. They pulled away their ties to dissipate the heat. The fingers holding the cigars trembled slightly. The woman's snow-white and majestic chest kept rising and falling. The unnatural flush on her neck did not leave any eyes to pay attention to it.
A man in the front row with a hidden cardiovascular disease covered his chest, but still stared at the ugly leech with his eyes wide open. The more he looked at it, the faster his blood pressure rose. Once the artery was cut, the blood would be pinched like a water pipe. It shot up to the sky like a tight tube, but he never moved away from his death-inducing gaze for even a second, as if the glass tube contained a ticket to heaven. As long as he grabbed it before death, he would be Can open the closed door of heaven.
"This trading item is also provided by Seller No. 22." The trader said, "The famous trading item is 'Eternal Life'. Likewise, at the insistence of Seller No. 22, it has another name today, 'Gift'. This is a 'gift' for everyone present. The starting bid will be US$30 million, and each bid must not be less than one million!"
The entire opera house fell into silence again, and there was no further elaboration. This time the trader spoke very few words. He who used to be eloquent and even able to tell impromptu jokes suddenly became more precious with his words. Or maybe on the 22nd The information provided to him by the seller was so little, or perhaps the trader knew too well that the current transaction was fundamentally different from the previous twenty-one items.
At some point, there were a lot of people on the second floor of the opera house. They were young people who silently walked out of the VIP room and quietly approached the guardrail of the second floor. They were brightly dressed and hidden in the dark shadows. With both hands gently pressed on the guardrail, they crowded around and stared condescendingly at the No. 22 transaction item on the stage, with substantial golden flames ignited in their eyes. Like a group of blood-thirsty bats!
Invisible gunpowder smoke has filled the entire space, and everyone's eyes are like sparks on the fuse, crawling along the snake-like gray line of fire towards the huge leech in the glass jar, as if to give it to Ignite it and burn it into the Nordic mythology of the frescoes in the Opera House with its vines growing soaring and its teeth twisting.
The man in a suit and tie on the stage slowly lowered his eyes. His hands wearing silk gloves were slightly clasped in front of him in a pious and respectful manner. He lowered his head and stood silently beside the giant leech, letting the spotlight shine on him and the trading items. His body glowed with a cold white light, and the expression on his face seemed to be praying for the coming bloody storm.
Without any publicity or atmosphere mobilization, this transaction does not require anyone to hype it up. No matter how much it is exaggerated or devalued, it will not be able to do anything about what is about to be performed on the stage of the entire opera house. Dramas with the themes of "fighting" and "war" are postponed or blocked.

"It's begun." Mai Shutoku said softly.
She was also standing in front of the guardrail on the second floor at this moment, looking around at the VIP hall on the other side of the opera house. All the 'VIPs' walked out of the dry and pleasant room in unison, as if even the polished The dust-free thin glass hindered their view of the leech in the glass jar. It seemed that what was contained was not a leech, but a beautiful baby, Dionysus taken out from the mother's body. The translucent nutrient solution was The amniotic fluid it swallows, the yellow-green color on its back are its skin and tendons, and every line it curls up in the glass jar expresses its extremely alluring beauty.
Mai Shutoku was also looking at the leeches in the glass jar at this time, but her gaze was not so passionate. On the contrary, it was a little cold, as cold as the blade scratching the back of her neck.
"I didn't expect that I actually saw this thing here. I thought this kind of thing only existed in imagination." Potato Chip Girl said softly.
Even though she was watching the live broadcast from a screen thousands of meters away, when she saw the giant leech, the huge shock and horror seemed to bring her to Mai Shutoku at the scene, causing her voice to sound involuntarily. He put it down very gently, for fear of disturbing this quiet and solemn scene.
"Some people say that the boundary between hybrids and ordinary people is insurmountable." Potato Chip Girl said, "That chasm is like the entire world between the sky and the earth."
"The ancients tried to build the Tower of Babel to bridge the gap between heaven and earth, but they failed. In the end, they were swallowed up by the vastness of the entire sky (bloodline) and became a floating cloud (Deadpool). But it is obvious that the pain of history has not It cannot serve as a warning to people today." Mai Shutoku said, her eyes looking at the giant leech were not full of desire, but rather full of awe and fear, as if she were seeing a nuclear bomb.
"Times are progressing, Mai. There is no shortage of madmen or geniuses in this world. Often when geniuses and madmen are the same person, this kind of admirable and terrifying masterpiece will be born!" Potato Chip Girl said.
She compared the ugly leech to a 'masterpiece', and in human history, 'masterpieces' usually describe great works that can influence the overall construction of human thought and path, and the giant leech has no doubt succeeded in her eyes. The word 'magnum opus' is because once it is truly published, it will span the entire second half of human history and become the New Testament that is sung by thousands of people around the world.
"It takes three steps to achieve what we see now. The first step is the evolutionary serum of pure-blooded dragons. The second step is ingenuity. No, it is a serum purification technology that is as gifted by God! The third and final step costs tens of thousands of dollars. The high vitality and high adaptability leeches cultivated through the elimination of generations were used to replace traditional syringes. Bang! It was enough to burn the entire world, and a chaotic creation that united heaven and earth was born." Mai Shutoku calmly recounted the story of the giant leech. Production process.
"Did the boss tell you this?" Potato Chip Girl asked.
Mai Shutoku didn't answer her. She could only think of the boy's fantasy told in a joking tone. The three steps sounded so simple, reminding her of the cold joke about putting an elephant in the refrigerator. In that joke, there are only three steps to stuff an elephant into the refrigerator - open the refrigerator, stuff the elephant in, and close the refrigerator.
However, each step of the creation of a giant leech is far more difficult than the absurd process of "stuffing an elephant into the refrigerator". To complete any of the three steps is almost equivalent to wishful thinking.
The first step corresponds to the serum of an ancient dragon. To complete the bloodline transformation, at least the next generation or above is required, that is, the four kings who once oppressed all living beings! If you want to get the king's serum, you can't come to your door with a fruit basket and ask people to donate bone marrow to you. It will inevitably require a war that will destroy lives and bleed.
The second step represents the nuanced understanding and research of the highly toxic dragon serum. To initially purify the serum requires at least the experience and results accumulated by dozens of generations of top scientific researchers, and dozens of generations of research must be carried out. There are one or even multiple pure-blood dragon remains or living bodies as the research object. In other words, this process requires a group of talented researchers to use cold scalpels and drills to dissect a dragon! And to complete this step, a genius needs to be born in the world, a true genius who understands genes and dragons as well as humans understand themselves!
The third step is also the most tedious step, making a qualified syringe, a living organism that can filter the poison of serum. The organism that wants to achieve this effect must perfectly adapt to the deadly toxicity in dragon blood - the world There is no such creature in the world that can do this, so at least dozens or even hundreds of generations of cultivation and elimination rely on the cruel law of survival of the fittest to force the evolution of that brand-new creature in the death of countless generations of creatures. , a brand new species of dragon-like organism. In the end, the brilliant brilliance was only used to bear the effect of the syringe.
Cologne's serum, refining and purification technology, active syringe to eliminate the last poison.
When the three steps are completed, it means
Someone on the second floor of the opera house swallowed lightly, and the beautiful Adam's apple moved slowly up and down on his neck. The sound seemed so harsh that it quietly echoed in the opera house.
Artificial hybrid technology is realized.
The golden eyes of every mixed race at the dinner were ignited, and they were full of turbulence and shock. Veins sprouted on the back of the hand holding the guardrail, and the hollow railing quietly deformed and twisted.
When the serum of the first-generation species is pushed into the body with a syringe, wouldn't it bring the so-called 'immortality' to ordinary people and even mixed-race species?
There is a force, or a genius, who has achieved this shocking result, holding the sky and the earth with one hand, ruthlessly crushing the boundaries of the so-called bloodline shackles to the ground, and letting out a cold laugh.
The pores all over Mai Shutoku's body quietly opened, and the tingling sensation caused by the shock crawled like ants all over her delicate body under the golden dress. She finally understood why she received the cloth from her boss before setting off on the mission. Yuhun'.
This was a banquet that was bound to lead to a fight. She was rushing to this banquet that was painted with blood, so how could she not prepare for it and dress up to attend?
The finished product after the three steps are perfectly completed is lying quietly under the spotlight, looking so beautiful, dreamlike and illusory under the gaze of countless anxious eyes.
"'Bloodline Recasting Technology'." Mai Shutoku stared at the giant leech and said word by word. The words spoken between the opening and closing of her red lips were like spitting out hard stones, "I didn't expect that someone would really use it. It’s been researched!”
