Parasites
The largest and most stodgy of the Old World's large pathogens,
Unlike bacteria and viruses, which are pathogens in the microscopic world, parasites tend to be larger and maintain their autonomy.
Bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Tetragenococcus ichthyosus, or the epizootic virus and blood plague virus in the virus world will form a complete whole, namely the "patient", after infecting an individual.
There is no such thing as talking about hosts and pathogens separately.
Parasites are different. Most of them can be integrated into the macroscopic world, and some mutated super-large mimicry parasites can even move freely like humans.
Mahat J. Nash, the current deputy performer of the Circus of Fear, is such a super-large amoeba. He directly mimics the appearance of a human, has no need for parasitic infection, and is even much stronger than his own kind.
Parasites care a lot about autonomy.
They strictly distinguish between the concepts of "self" and "host", and they often even use other patients as hosts... In the early days of the Old World, compared to the crazy people of the Blood People, parasites were more criticized by the patients.
In order to control the problem of the proliferation and rampant parasitism of parasites,
The Old World Central sends direct signals to a large number of parasites that have reached the Silver Circle level, asking them to participate in a special selection competition located among the world cores.
The most powerful one among them is selected as the epidemic leader, and a source epidemic area is established to integrate different types of parasites together, restrain and control them, and manage them by this epidemic leader.
Any parasite that does not obey the discipline will be hunted down and killed.
Since all different types of parasites are integrated together, the source epidemic area is called the 'main nest'.
The parasites living in the main nest can no longer choose hosts as freely as before, but their yearning for hosts and this instinctive impulse cannot be suppressed.
So they started to study biotechnology, and even hired epileptics for help at a "high price", and finally realized the technology of producing hosts within the main nest.
"Host production" is unstable, and unqualified hosts will be thrown directly into the garbage station for disposal.
However, there is an extremely low probability that a host with excellent values in all aspects will appear, which is called a "perfect container". Such a host will naturally be coveted by a large number of parasites.
When the perfect container appears, the main nest will hold an event called "election".
All the participating parasites will be implanted into the container within its tolerance range, with the host's body as the battlefield. The parasites that survive in the end will be eligible to occupy the container.
This election model was very effective, and a group of truly powerful people soon emerged in the main nest and created groups equivalent to the 'Knights of the Tumor', the 'Crimson Nobility', and the 'Skin Apostles'.
Even though the original purpose of the establishment of the parasite nest was to integrate and control parasites, and it was established later than the major source epidemic areas, it caught up in a short period of time through such biotechnology and election mechanisms.
It has always ranked third on the comprehensive list of source epidemic areas.
current,
The Black Ascaris Company is based on the "election" of the main nest, integrating modern biotechnology to obtain a selection experiment called "Ascaris Gu".
It's just that experiments are fundamentally different from campaigns.
The Ascaris experiment will not erase the consciousness of the participants, that is, the self-consciousness of the container.
As long as the container itself is strong enough, it can still dominate the body even after the experiment is over, and use the parasites raised in the body as an auxiliary body to become a true "perfect parasite" for the headquarters.
This is exactly the answer given by President Bourne, the "Chlorophore of the Holy Nest".
In his opinion, containers are by no means props. Only when parasites and containers develop together can it be possible to break through the shackles of ancient times and allow the parasite group to go further and to a higher level.
The rapid rise of Blackworm Company to become the second largest transfer company is also due to the role played by this concept which cannot be ignored.
in addition,
The subjects of the Ascaris experiment are often "outside employees" from branch companies. After making great contributions to the company and gaining the attention of the headquarters, they will receive a special invitation card.
After arriving at the headquarters, the external personnel will undergo a series of inspections and be informed of the relevant rules of the roundworm experiment.
Once the experiment is passed with a high completion rate, the individual will be directly promoted to a reserve cadre of the headquarters and will work directly under the boss in the future.
Now, President Bourne gave this authority to a client who had no direct relationship with the company's business. He mainly valued William's personal talent. As long as he could implant a parasite in William's body through the "Ascaris experiment", he would have an inseparable connection with the company.
Although William will not stay here to work, they will inevitably come into contact again at some point in the future, and even have deeper cooperation.
"Let me see how you perform... How can an outsider with no parasitic experience withstand the new type of parasite cultivated by our company and how well can you complete this experiment?"
…
Inside a hemispherical laboratory of one thousand square meters.
William, who passed the preliminary examination with full marks and was absolutely hungry, walked naked to the middle of the laboratory and stood inside the circle marked by white lines.
The top of the laboratory opens in a circular shape
A bloated and round biological mother slowly descended, and in her belly were more than 10 million "parasite eggs" specially cultivated by the Black Ascaris Headquarters.
Gah-gee-gah-gee~ biological hoses split and grow out from the mother body,
William, who was standing below, did not feel any nervousness, fear or uneasiness. Instead, he immediately spread out his arms, relaxed his body, and allowed more than fifty hose spikes to penetrate into his body, even the back of his head.
The eggs were injected along with a biological fluid that distributed the parasite eggs to different areas of William's body.
Thanks to William's perfect cooperation, the implantation process was completed in just half an hour. After the implantation, the mother body had shrunk and was quickly removed and sealed off from the laboratory.
The next ten days will be spent waiting and observing. If necessary, sounds, light sources, smells, etc. will be used to stimulate the parasites in William's body, causing them to become manic and brutal.
Another half hour passed.
The eggs in the body hatched one after another, and the larvae broke out of the eggs, feeling the warm and humid new environment, and opened their mouths to nibble on William's flesh and blood as their first meal in life.
The above processes were fully captured by the biological monitors installed in the laboratory and presented to the researchers in the observation room.
An experimenter in charge of observation said excitedly:
"The subject was in excellent condition, and all larvae were hatched an hour ahead of schedule, with a survival rate of 99.7%! This is the best ever... The subject's body is like a perfect container, very suitable for the growth of parasites."
"The subjects' various physical indices did not change before and after hatching, and they did not even show any negative emotional feedback. The strength and adaptability of their bodies exceeded our definition of a container."
William, who was in the laboratory, did not move around and had no concerns about his body.
He chose to sit cross-legged inside the circle, closing his eyes and meditating, his body even slowly floating up in the process.
Three hours later
A special researcher accidentally discovered a subtle anomaly in the surveillance footage that was not easy to notice, and picked up a pen and paper to start calculating, and finally obtained surprising information.
“Report! The larvae in the subject’s body are performing some kind of high-level regular movement without any mental influence or medium traction.
They circle periodically around the 'hole' in the subject's abdomen.
Although the parasites in different areas move at different speeds, they all follow the formula a (the cube of the semi-major axis of the ellipse formed by the roundworm crawling around the abdominal hole) / T (the square of the roundworm's circle period) = k (constant).”
When the researcher came to this conclusion, other researchers quickly followed up and verified its correctness.
At the same time, they adjusted the surveillance footage to erase as much of William's physical image as possible, leaving only the image of the parasites and the abdominal abyss.
The images obtained shocked everyone, including President Bourne.
This doesn't feel like observing a human body at all, it's more like observing some complex cosmic phenomenon...
Time goes by day by day,
The death-defying fight to determine the only winner in the roundworm experiment has not happened yet, and not even a single death case has appeared.
All parasites carry out cyclical movements without interfering with each other.
As they move around the belly of the abyss, William's body will also provide them with basic nutrients to keep them alive.
The Ascaris experiment is developing in a direction that goes beyond the experiment itself...
President Byrne has turned down unimportant meetings in the past few days and has been staying in the observation room almost the entire day watching everything.
Xiao Ah Fei has a cold and is resting at home. I have to take care of her and write at the same time, so it's a little late. I'm really sorry
