Chapter 394: What Can I Do?
The failure of the parasitism of the "mutant parasite" was predicted by Xiang Kun.
But after the parasitism failed, he was in such a state of dying, which was expected by Xiang Kun.
What exactly is the reason?
Xiang Kun took a picture of the "mutant parasite" in his palm that was about to end because of parasitic failure, and thought about why this happened.
Soon he had a basic conjecture:
Judging from his own behavior patterns, as well as the various "mutant creatures" he has come into contact with before, they all have to fall asleep after drinking blood, and this "mutant parasite" should be no exception.
So if the mutant parasite wants to drink his blood, it needs to do one of two things.
Either control him, let him hallucinate like other hosts, and make up a set of thoughts in his brain to accept the parasitic facts and become a new host.
Or simply kill him completely.
In other words, although the "mutant parasite" just now broke through the skin and muscles on his arm, making flesh and blood fly, which was very terrifying, it was probably not sucking blood, but was only completing the parasitism, or trying to kill him.
So it is likely that the "mutant parasite" did not become like this because of sucking his blood, but because of the failure of parasitism.
According to Xiang Kun's previous judgment, the way this "mutant parasite" affects the host's mind should be achieved by synthesizing and secreting or guiding the secretion of a variety of neurotransmitters.
The large number of slender tentacles or fine hairs that grow after parasitism by "mutant parasites" are likely to be used to connect human nerves, blood vessels and other basic units, and may even extend directly to the brain in the body. These tentacles, in addition to creating hallucinations, are supposed to be responsible for modifying the host's body.
But just as ordinary people's bodies have an immune system, and they will kill foreign invaders, such as parasites, bacteria, and viruses, Xiang Kun feels that his body should also have an immune system now.
In the process of parasitism, the "mutant parasite" is likely to trigger his immune system, and his immune system must be very different from ordinary people, and it is likely to have more radical and ferocious ways to "fight back", but he didn't know these methods before, and he didn't have the opportunity to try them out little by little like other abilities.
Moreover, when the "mutant parasite" stretched out a large number of slender tentacles and fine hairs, it was likely that it was also in a relatively weak state, and through those tentacles, perhaps Xiang Kun's immune counterattack could directly reach its most vulnerable area.
Xiang Kun also has another guess, if the "mutant parasite" can share the host's sensory information or the processed sensory information feedback, then it will be overloaded by the massive information when it "parasitizes" and "accesses" its own sensory information feedback?
You must know that the amount of perceptual information that Xiang Kun can obtain now, the amount of information processed by his brain is several orders of magnitude more than that of other normal humans, and this huge amount of information may indeed make the information processing organs of the "mutant parasite" unable to carry it.
But whether it is an immune attack or a guess of overloading sensory feedback, it stands to reason that the damage caused should gradually stop after it stops parasitizing and emerges from Xiang Kun's arm, and then the insect begins to repair itself with its powerful recovery power.
But at present, the insect has not slowed down at all, and it is visibly getting weaker and weaker - and this time Xiang Kun is very sure that it is not acting.
With the passage of time, the wound on Xiang Kun's arm that had been broken had been restored, and the "mutant parasite" had completely stopped moving.
Of course, Xiang Kun didn't want this bug to burp, he had a lot of questions related to this bug, which needed follow-up experiments and research to solve.
For example, how does it perceive its surroundings after it is parasitic, and how does it judge the proximity of it or other "mutated creatures"?
There is also the way it affects the host's thinking, guides hallucinations, and transforms the host's body, although Xiang Kun has some conjectures and speculations, but how it actually still needs rigorous experimental proof, and equipment is needed to assist in observation.
Any of these discoveries are highly valuable, and Xiang Kun can use these analyses to help him improve his understanding of his own abilities and other things, and find ways to apply them.
At the same time, the observation and research of "mutant parasites" can also help him find more clues to the root cause of the mutation of "mutant organisms".
But the reality is that this worm "parasitized" him and couldn't do it, but GG himself.
The sample 002 of his and Lao Xia's future research base and secret laboratory is gone.
What could he do?
Of course, Xiang Kun had also expected this situation before, if in an extreme situation, the "mutant parasite" threatened him, or he was completely uncontrollable and brought back, or he was killed by mistake.
That can only be ...... Ate it in time.
After all, the "mutated creatures" that die will turn into gray powder after a while, and there is no way to bring them back to study.
If you eat it, you may be able to get more useful information, and it can also give new "energy" to his mutation.
This "mutant parasite" is such a small one, and naturally there is no meaning of "sucking blood", just a mouthful.
But before choosing to eat it, Xiang Kun first entered the "super feeling state".
Although he didn't think he was parasitized, and he was sure that the "mutant parasite" didn't give him the ability to hallucinate, it was safe to make sure that what he was seeing now was true.
Could it be that the parasite just now has actually successfully "parasitized", and everything that happened after that was just what he imagined in order to "convince" himself?
Fortunately, in the "super sensory state", Xiang Kun was very sure that the corpse of the "mutant parasite" was in his hands.
However, Xiang Kun found that compared to the previous time when it was in Fan Jiading's body, the cognitive information of this "mutant parasite" now has some very specific changes, these changes should not be morphological, but its cognitive information seems to be mixed with some very strange information.
But he doesn't have much time to observe and think now, he is not sure how long it will take for the "mutant parasite" to turn into gray powder after death, and if he doesn't eat it in time, it would be a waste to really let it turn into powder and disappear.
After getting out of the "super sensory state", Xiang Kun threw the insect into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.
In fact, with the size of this "mutant parasite", there was no need to chew, but for the sake of safety and curiosity, he still chewed a few times.
It doesn't taste good, and it chews a little QQ, like a piece of rubber.
While chewing, inexplicably, Xiang Kun remembered some of the stalks of Bei Ye that he had often seen on the Internet before, what "crunchy chicken flavor", "rich in protein", "as long as the head is removed, other parts can be eaten", "although it is not much, it is better than nothing", "this is not the best thing I have ever eaten"......
At the same time, he thought about the taste he had experienced when he went to taste the fried cow river during the day, and then came up with some strange thoughts: "It's rare to be able to really eat, if only I could handle and cook it", "If there are 100 of them, I can fry a plate".
Of course, that's just thinking.
After eating the "mutant parasite", Xiang Kun found a corner in the house to be demolished and sat down against the wall, obeyed the sleepiness, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When Xiang Kun opened his eyes again, he glanced at the timer phone, and twenty-three minutes had passed.
Then Xiang Kun closed his eyes again, recalling the information that came to his mind while he was asleep.
Just as he had dreams after slumbering the blood of other "mutant creatures" before and gained some memories of "mutant creatures", this time, he also had "dreams".
It's just that in this "dream", he didn't see any pictures, didn't hear any sounds, and what he felt was some very unusual perceptual information.
