Ascaris experiment (day 5)
Half of the time has passed. According to previous experimental experience, the total number of roundworms in the subjects' bodies should have been reduced to about one thousand. These one thousand are the real elites and cannot be killed easily. The remaining time will be used to decide the strongest among the elites.
However,
The total number of roundworms in William's body remained unchanged, tens of millions, not a single one died, and they were operating strictly according to the formula deduced by the researcher.
During these five days, he did not move at all, maintaining the same cross-legged position, and even a smile occasionally appeared at the corner of his mouth.
When William arrived at the Blackworm headquarters,
After understanding the nature of the headquarters, seeing the technology contained in the guest rooms, and watching Olenna's explanation of the ascarid experiment, a completely different idea quickly formed in his mind.
William's body is already perfect enough, and he also has the support of the "external parasite" Huangpi. When Little Grape completes the path related to the evil yang and returns, the "internal parasite" will also be complete.
Therefore, he didn't need a parasite at all. Even the 'Parasite King' obtained by the election mechanism of the Parasite Nest was 'redundant' for him who already had Little Grape and Yellow Peel.
The real reason why William wanted to participate in the Ascaris experiment was not the experiment itself, but the 10 million parasite eggs that the Black Ascaris Company had carefully cultivated through "talent matching" and "gene screening".
If these insect eggs were to be sold on the market, they would definitely be sold at a sky-high price, and even the Duke would be envious of them.
Moreover, William discovered that the 'black roundworm' seemed to have an inexplicable connection and affinity with the 'Tenth Abyss' while taking a bath.
The black roundworms in the bathhouse will move regularly around the abyss on their own.
As William focuses his attention on the abdominal abyss, trying to amplify the impact of the abyss as much as possible, the black roundworms in the entire bathhouse will be affected.
Now, taking the roundworm experiment as an opportunity,
William used his own body as a residence for the highest-level black roundworm larvae, bringing them closer to the abyss of the abdomen, while William himself fully activated the physique of the 'Stargazer' and entered a state of deep space meditation.
At this time,
He linked together the three factors of the starry sky, the abyss and the parasites.
In the deep space of the universe, William's consciousness is floating here.
He was not alone. There were tens of millions of black parasites floating around his consciousness.
There was actually a 'black hole' not far from them... What was different from a regular black hole was that this 'black hole' seemed to be a real hole in the universe.
Under William's leadership, the swarm of parasites followed him and slowly approached.
The purpose is already very clear.
William intends to use these parasites as a medium to explore the abyss, trying to understand, explore and activate the pathological characteristics of the Tenth Abyss.
Day 7
The situation inside William's body finally changed. The parasites that were moving in regular patterns began to reduce the length of their circles and slowly gathered towards the abyss of the abdomen.
Charlie, the person in charge of the experiment, suddenly discovered something. "What is that? Adjust the observation distance to the closest and observe the lines on the surface of the roundworm."
Zoom in, zoom in
There are some slight abnormalities in the segments on the surface of the black roundworm larvae. When those forked segments are pieced together, one actually gets an ancient Chinese character - epilepsy, which means that William's brain thinking has been completely connected to the larvae.
At this time, the hundreds of parasites closest to them had already crawled into the abyss and disappeared from the surveillance screen, even their breath disappeared.
The ascaris experiment should have resulted in large-scale deaths from internal infighting among the parasites, but now it has turned into one disappearance after another.
As more and more parasites crawled into the abyss of the abdomen, William's brain collected more and more information about the abyss, and cooperated with the epileptic brain to conduct super-fast analysis.
The brain steam produced by thinking was discharged from between the skulls, and the entire laboratory was soon filled with a layer of fog.
No matter what kind of noise the lab made, the parasite stimulants it released, or the low-frequency shock waves it transmitted, it was useless and could not affect the parasitic larvae in William's body.
The person in charge of the experiment immediately found President Bourne in the observation room and said, "Boss! This person seems to be using and consuming our larvae to explore his own body.
Should we terminate the experiment through human intervention?"
“No need… William didn’t violate any rules.
Since I promised him to let the experiment continue, I want to see what this guy is up to and how far he is going to go. "
"Boss, if he doesn't intend to keep the parasite in his body, he can't become our man. Do we really have to spend such a huge price to assist an outsider?"
"The most important thing in doing business is integrity. Don't waste your time and mine."
"Yes, boss. I didn't think it through."
With the departure of the person in charge,
President Bourne asked Reagan beside him quietly, "Your friend is very scheming... He planned to use the experiment to improve himself from the beginning, and never thought of letting the parasite take root in his body."
Reagan disagreed. "If William had always followed the rules, would he have achieved what he has now? It seems that neither his identity as a circus member nor as the spokesperson for the Abyss was obtained through normal means."
"Um… "
Bourne could not deny that Reagan's words even reminded him of the past, recalling how he had also used unconventional means to gain power many years ago when the parasitic nest still existed.
He did not stay in the main hive to participate in the so-called "election", but sneaked out to find a host.
Bourne's ideas have been different from those of other parasites since he was a child. In his eyes, the host should be an individual with self-awareness and who sympathizes with him, rather than a created living dead.
Because of this, Bourne found his other half, and the two developed together in a symbiotic state, eventually surpassing the perfect host of the main nest and becoming the "Chromatid of the Holy Nest".
…
Time passed and it even exceeded the ten days expected by the experiment.
Since President Bern did not give any instructions, all researchers continued the experiment.
By the early morning of the eleventh day, almost all researchers were focused in front of the surveillance screen.
At this time, there were less than a hundred black roundworms left in William's body, and they were all concentrated in the abyss of his abdomen.
When the last black roundworm crawled into it and disappeared, everyone stared at William in the picture with wide eyes, wanting to see whether this young man would waste millions of larvae and end the experiment.
If this is true, the person in charge will probably lead a lot of people to curse and even ask William to compensate for all the funds spent on the experiment.
However, something strange happened between the surveillance footage.
William still kept his eyes closed in meditation, but his body began to change.
He began to crawl towards the abyss of his belly,
First, he put his hands in, then his entire head, followed by his lower body... Finally, when only the abdominal structure was left, the abyss actually began to fold inwards and sucked the abdomen in as well.
disappear.
William disappeared directly in the laboratory, and all monitoring equipment was unable to capture his breath.
Even President Bourne, who was watching the whole process, was stunned. He smashed the glass with a punch and stepped into the laboratory himself, using his perception ability to search for William, but in the end he got nothing.
"Being devoured by the abyss? It's impossible that there won't be any trace left."
Just as President Bourne was puzzled by the situation,
Buzz!
A belly abyss of the same size reappeared at the place where William had just disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, two arms covered with lubricant stretched out from inside, and the whole person quickly climbed out of the abyss and returned to normal.
The only difference from before is.
The abyss in the abdomen is no longer as dry as the rock layer, but has more mucus, making it more lubricated.
Huh... William stretched his body and exhaled a long breath, a strange smile of suppressed excitement spreading across his face.
He finally developed a unique abyss ability, or a special disease ability that combines the three attributes of the starry sky, the abyss, and the parasite, called
"Abyssal Parasite"
At any time and any place, he could use the abyss in his abdomen as a passage to parasitize himself in the depths of space and disappear without a trace. He crawled and squirmed in the depths of space like a parasite.
