Looking at Cumberland's distant figure, Todd felt the burden on his shoulders getting heavier and heavier.

Trying his best to bring the people around him and live together has consumed too much of his energy. If it's a country, if it's going to sustain a country, he doesn't know if he can do it.

Leaving aside the distractions in his mind for a while, Todd walked out of the headquarters of the Knights, came to the street outside the door, and looked at the bustling crowd, he put down the hood of his robe, and came to the "Sister Hotel" to eat.

Richer spends most of his time and energy on the biochemical plant, rarely taking care of the inn's business, so the usual manager of the hotel is Karin Foreman.

The girl who was originally a circus star has long since lost the childishness of the past, leaving behind the playfulness and willfulness, Karin directs Pamela and several other xenomorphic girls to serve, clean, close, and register...... The entire hostel is managed in an orderly manner.

Todd looked at the rest of the hotel, mostly as foodies or wealthy residents of the town. To his surprise, he saw the "electromagnetic girl" hiding behind the bar, at a loss, Cosette.

Compared to the first time in the cave, Cosette cut off her messy gray hair, washed her little face covered with mud, and put on a clean and neat maid outfit, due to albinism and a long life without the light of day, her bare skin up and down her body, white and dazzling, combined with her delicate face and pink pupils, there is no suspense to become the most eye-catching presence in the entire hotel.

Karin, who was busy, saw that the others had something on their hands, so she pointed to the barley tea on the tray and asked Cosette to bring it to the guests. The girl looked at the room full of customers in fear and shook her head desperately at the acting manager.

Karin pointed to McTea again, and with an anxious look, she urged Cosette to get to work again.

The trembling girl picked up the teacup, lowered her head, avoided the eyes of others, ran quickly under her feet, and spilled the tea on the guest's table in a panic. Cosette hurriedly wiped the water stains with a dry cloth, but unexpectedly, her nervousness caused the blue "coil" under her skin to become brighter and brighter.

Todd snorted badly.

Accompanied by the crackling sound of electricity, a blinding arc of electricity hit the table and flowed down the overflowing tea to the guests.

The sound of screams, falling to the ground, cracking, and the smell of burnt human flesh suddenly caused chaos in the lobby of the "sister hotel".

Twenty minutes later, an exhausted Karin sat on a bench in the back kitchen, looking up at the sky through the open window, and a dejected Cosette stood beside her.

"You almost killed one of our guests!"

Hearing this, Cosette lowered her head.

Todd walked in, smiled at the two girls and said, "The guest is fine." ”

Karin rose from the bench and gave him a grateful look, but Cosette looked at Todd with a much more complicated look.

Karin looked at Cosette and sighed helplessly: "You first burned the bed while you were sleeping, then you electrocuted Pamela half to death while washing the dishes, and today you almost killed a guest." ”

"I didn't mean to......" Cosette whispered.

Karin turned her head to Todd, "We need your help with her abilities. ”

Todd looked at the blue coil under the albinist girl's skin and touched his nose with a headache: "To be honest, this ability is very dangerous, and I don't know what to do with it." ”

Seeing Cosette hang her head again, Todd said with some reluctance, "But maybe you can try." ”

————————————————

Todd's laboratory building cleaned up the instruments and bottles on the laboratory table, and put the table together into a makeshift operating table.

Richel, Karin, and Pamela stood by, looking at a nervous Cosette on the operating table, and reassuring her that everything would be fine.

Todd put on a mask, put on cotton gloves, adjusted the concentration of ether, walked up to Cosette, and said to her: "Wait a while, I will give you general anesthesia, you will be temporarily unconscious in three hours, during this time, I will use minimally invasive surgery to extract part of your body's 'power generation coil' to find a way to control the ability." ”

"I ask you, are you ready now?" Todd looked into Cosette's eyes and said calmly, "Don't worry, it's just a minor operation, and there won't be any danger." ”

Cosette turned her head and looked at Richel.

The woman nodded slightly, giving her an encouraging look.

Cosette took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready." ”

Todd placed the ether-stained cloth over the albinistic girl's nose and mouth, and after a few seconds, the latter fell into a deep sleep. He nodded to the three behind him, then made a small cut in the leg with a sterilized knife, and finally used sterling silver pointers to try to pinch the foreign object under the skin.

Just as the pliers touched the blue line, a huge electric current radiated from Cosette's body, burning a small hole in Todd's cotton gloves and a black mark on the stone platform beneath him.

Todd had no choice but to use touch to consume as much electricity as possible in Cosette's body.

After nearly ten minutes of discharge, the blue line under the skin gradually faded, and Todd tried it with pliers a few times, and finally decided to try again.

Another small incision was made, and a clamp was held against the foreign object under Cosette's skin, and Todd endured the heat from the pliers and pulled it out desperately. Under the exclamations of the people around her, a sixty-centimeter-long blue nematode was pulled out from under the skin.

Todd tossed the bug into the prepared mica tray, bandaged Cosette's wounds, and sat down on the floor, breathing a sigh of relief.

Entrusted with the task of caring for the young girl, Todd rushes into the laboratory with the parasite capable of discharging.

Through dissecting sections and microscopic observations, Todd discovered a new species of parasite that had never been seen before.

The parasite is structurally divided into four layers, the outermost layer is the stratum corneum that secretes insulating mucus, the second layer from the outside to the inside is the muscle layer, the third layer is the medullary layer, and the innermost layer is the nervous system.

The secret of its power generation lies in the third layer, the medullary layer, in which the parasite has a large number of power-generating cells, similar to a small tandem battery, when it is excited by the host's nerve signals, it can make electric ions pass through the cell membrane and gather.

Inside the parasite there are such cells from head to tail, like many laminated cells stacked on top of each other. When an electric current is generated, all these "batteries" are connected in series, so that a very high voltage is created between the head and tail of the parasite. Many of these battery packs are connected in parallel so that a large enough current can be generated outside the body.

In addition, this parasite, which can discharge electricity, has an even more peculiar function - broken body regeneration.

When the parasite is split in two with a sharp object, the muscle layer on the section will immediately contract, and a part of the muscle will quickly dissolve, forming a new mass of cells, and the cells will gather on the cut surface, forming an embolism, so that the wound will be quickly closed.

At the same time, the cells of the nervous system, medullary tube and other tissues in the body can rapidly bud and reproduce through a large number of mitosis. In this way, as the cells continue to proliferate, a new head will grow on the section that lacks a head, and a tail will grow on the section that lacks a tail. So that one parasite becomes two complete parasites.

Eventually, Todd gave this parasite, which can generate electricity and regenerate, a strange name - "Tesla".
