Chapter 58 Chaos and Parasitism
"Snei...Amande!"
Tomomi opened her eyes suddenly, which were bloodshot. She sat upright from the bed, her face was ashen, and she was still letting out heart-rending screams.
It took a long time before he gradually calmed down.
This was the second time. Last night, she dreamed of being eaten by rats. She lay on the bed unable to move and watched helplessly as hundreds of rats swallowed her up.
In my dream today, I fell into a snake nest. The snake nest was full of colorful snakes...
I didn't sleep for more than an hour in two nights, and I would fall into horrible dreams as soon as I fell asleep.
She felt like she was going crazy, there were still cramps in her brain, and her body was extremely weak.
If it continues like this tomorrow, she has a premonition that she will die.
"What's going on? Are the gods punishing me?" Tomomi murmured to herself. It's been like this since she came back from the winter festival held in the shrine the day before yesterday.
A warm current flowed down from her forehead and down her cheeks, and Tomomi subconsciously touched it with her hands.
Soft and slippery.
Why did it look like pig intestines? Suddenly, the same feeling came from her thighs. She lowered her head again and her pupils contracted violently.
"ah!!!"
Late at night, a shrill scream echoed endlessly in this high-end villa area.
…
"Sir...sir, I'm...scared."
Ryoka was lying on the cold operating table, her face was stiff, and her teeth were trembling when she spoke.
"Don't be afraid, I will be there very quickly. You will be there as soon as you close and open your eyes."
Lu He held a shiny scalpel in his right hand and whispered comfort.
"But...you just said that this is your first time to do this...this parasitic experiment?"
Ryoka recalled what the adult had said when he was talking to himself just now, and she couldn't help but feel even more frightened, and her eyes had already begun to spin.
"Um...it seems so. How about someone else?"
Lu He looked at Liang Xiang's pretty pale face and felt that he still couldn't treat a girl like this. Although he had deduced it many times in his mind, he would definitely be able to save her life, but what if... it would not be good.
"Okay! I'll call someone right now."
Liangxiang felt her body suddenly relax, and she quickly jumped up and ran outside the operating room to call for help.
Lu He shook his head helplessly when he saw this.
In the apprenticeship stage, the wizard can choose a living body as a parasitic object. This kind of parasitism can share some of the living body's abilities, such as strength, resistance, energy, lifespan...
In the wizarding world, apprentices generally choose a creature called a worm for parasitism, because it doubles the apprentice's lifespan, giving him more time to attack the official wizard.
Compared to converting into an undead creature, this kind of parasitism has no restrictions and does not bring any negative effects.
Of course, the main reason is that the undead creatures that apprentices can transform into are rarely very low-level and have various flaws. No one would do that unless they were forced into a desperate situation.
Lu He had not been parasitic before because he had no experimental subjects. He did not dare to rashly carry out this kind of parasitic transformation on himself, because there are no snail worms on the earth. If a completely unfamiliar life form was chosen for parasitism, some experimental details would be Differences, it is best to experiment a few times first.
Outside the operating room.
The old man Qingji was respectfully guarding the door. Suddenly he saw the door being opened and Ryoka fled from it in a panic. Then he asked with a straight face:
"Lyoxiang, it's only been a few minutes, why did you come out? Didn't the master say to do some experiment?"
What a bastard, Liangxiang complained in her heart, but she still managed to put a smile on her face and said, "My lord said that someone else should do it. Captain Qingsi, do you want to go in and give it a try?"
"I'm looking for someone." Old Qingsi's eyes narrowed and he ran away without looking back.
Try it? He didn't know if the owner would do experiments, but he knew that the owner wouldn't use the laboratory instruments, because he was responsible for setting up the laboratory. He personally heard the owner ask the professionals how to operate this and how to turn on that.
Half an hour later.
Lu He became interested when he looked at the black material lying on the operating table as hard as a piece of wood.
They were able to find this, but considering that Edo is an international metropolis, it is not surprising.
Without any more nonsense, with a flash of magic in his eyes, the black experimental subject fainted.
The blade of the blade flashed red, and then he aimed it at the chest and slashed it. At the moment of contact, Lu He felt that the feel of the hand was very different from when he cut himself before. It was tight, elastic, and very tough, completely opposite to the rough big black in his impression. .
"So, you still have to practice more and do more, and you can't just listen to what others say!"
After sighing, the experiment continued.
Another half hour passed.
Ryoka and Qingsi at the door saw Lu He coming out shaking his head, and their hearts twitched.
"Master, how are you?" Qingsi asked cautiously in a low voice.
"There was a little accident. I will sum up the experience and then do the experiment."
Because the experimental subject was unfamiliar, Lu He's technique was a bit rough, and he didn't spend much energy on protecting it, so... it was gone.
"Clean up."
"Also, tell Yuta to move quickly. If he can't do it, someone from another profession will come."
After giving instructions, Lu He led Liang Xiang, who was all cold, up the stairs.
…
"Hello, audience friends, now I have an urgent message for you. Former Defense Minister Tomomi was found dead at home last night. The cause of death is not clear for the time being. Experts initially suspect that it is related to the strange virus that appeared in Edo in the past two days. At present, many such incidents have occurred in the city. Please take precautions and avoid infection..."
"Sir, this virus..." Liang Xiang wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a slight breath.
Lu He turned off the TV and asked an irrelevant question casually: "What do you think of the sacred toilet?"
"Ah?" Liang Xiang was stunned for a while, as if she suddenly thought of something, and then she was indignant.
Lu He smiled and touched her black hair with relief.
He estimated that there would be many more experiments in the future, so he prepared the experimental subjects in advance.
...
Four days later.
Lu He sat in the laboratory, looking at the creature in the water tank. Its body was transparent and its stomach was red. The whole thing looked like a glowing lighthouse.
"Turritopsis dohrnii, moon jellyfish... As long as they are not eaten or die of disease, will they be immortal in theory?"
"Through cell differentiation, they can regenerate their own bodies and organs, thus entering a state of rejuvenation and regaining life."
"But... are the regenerated new jellyfish still the original jellyfish?"
Lu He was choosing a parasitic object, so he found jellyfish and gave the order. In a few days, Qing Si sent several jellyfish to him.
Eternal life, what a romantic word.
Even those fourth-level wizards can't achieve true immortality, they can only be said to be living a miserable life. Lu He doesn't believe that small jellyfish can be immortal.
There are three types of immortality: material immortality, soul immortality, and will immortality.
If the jellyfish can really differentiate its body without limit and regenerate its organs, it is indeed equivalent to material immortality.
But the jellyfish appeared in the Cretaceous period 100 million years ago. In such a long time, a pig has evolved into Marshal Tianpeng, and jellyfish are still the lowest-level plankton in the biosphere.
So, Lu He plans to study it carefully.
Is it a bit too much to use as experimental material...
