Chapter 156: Pheromones Parasite
Dieng's expression was a little unnatural in response to Todd's questioning, he found a chair and sat down, and said, "Chief Chief, I can swear that the duel incident that night was an accident. ”
Todd nodded in response: "I understand that the responsibility for what happened that day is not on you alone, and you can't be blamed for all the mistakes." ”
Hearing this, Dieng was visibly relieved.
Todd added, "But after the duel, the riots that caused it had serious consequences for Twilight. Do you know? There are quite a few people who, after that night, abandon their wives and children and wait at the door of the tribunal just to see you. So, if you're an alien, I want you to let me know about the ability so that the impact of this can be minimized. ”
Dion thought for a while, and finally admitted his identity as a different species: "My ability is 'charm', when my heart beats faster and my body sweats, I can create the illusion that others are addicted and in love. ”
Todd's curiosity was piqued, and it was the first time he had encountered this kind of mind control ability, which he had encountered in the past, mostly elemental, shapeshifting, and shaping abilities.
Dion lowered his head: "In the past, in the capital of Tailuo, I have always tried to be careful not to expose my abilities, whether it is to hone my swordsmanship or physical training, it is also carried out in the uninhabited woods. Occasionally, it affects others, and I do a good job of covering it up afterwards, but this is the first time that such a large-scale cause of trouble like this one, please believe me. ”
Todd began to think about the principle of this ability, and asked a few questions: "Can the charmed person return to normal?"
"Some people wake up the next day, some take longer, but others ......," Dieng said, with a bothered face: "It will haunt me for years......
"What are the signs when this ability is activated?"
"Omen?" Dieng, after some thought, gave a vague answer: "I once asked those who were seduced that after smelling a very fragrant smell, they would hallucinate, be excited, and even have a dirty urge!"
"Dirty impulses?" As soon as Todd's words came out, judging by Dion's look of shame, he knew he had asked a question that he shouldn't have asked.
Turning his attention to other points, Todd grabbed another key word.
Smell?
Todd put his hand on his cheek, thought for a moment, and said, "I already have a rough idea of your abilities. However, I still need to check you out. Don't worry, just after the local anesthesia, some blood will be collected. ”
Dion stood up, not the slightest objection to this, and gave Todd a standard knightly salute.
After three days of thorough examination, Todd finally discovered the secret of Dion's "Charm" ability, which was a variant in his body known as "Leishmania" in his previous life.
This micro-parasite, which cannot be distinguished by the naked eye, is free in Dion's glands, feeds on steroids, and excretes androstadienone and Estratetraenol through a series of chemical reactions in the worm's body. In previous lives, these two substances were collectively known as pheromones (Pheromone), also transliterated as "pheromones".
To briefly explain, what pheromones are.
Pheromones are chemicals that contain bioinformation. It is derived from steroids in living organisms and can radiate from sweat glands and skin surface cells, directly affecting the subconscious layer of the brain responsible for emotions in the opposite sex.
Among them, male pheromones are androdienone, and female pheromones are estradiols, these chemicals are received by 140 pheromone receptors (vomeronasal organs) in the human nasal cavity, and form neuronal signals, which directly affect the anterior end of the hypothalamus of the opposite sex, and then produce favorability, obedience, cooperation and even love thoughts.
The only thing that makes Todd feel strange here is that most people only emit one pheromone according to their gender, but Dion can emit two pheromones for men and women at the same time, which makes him feel incredible.
Going back to this peculiar parasite, there are two extremely rare features when they absorb steroids and excrete pheromones:
1. These pheromones emitted by parasites carry strong individual characteristics of the host. In layman's terms, the pheromone odor secreted by the parasite is unique and exclusive, which ensures that the opposite sex who smells the odor will only feel the host and will not be misidentified.
2. The concentration of pheromones synthesized and released by the "pheromone" parasite is hundreds or even thousands of times that of normal people. It is difficult for the average person's brain to resist the invasion of this pheromone. Closer to the host may sink directly into the neuronal reflex called 'love', leaving irreversible permanent damage, while those who are farther away may have an effect for a short period of time, but can gradually return to normal over time.
At this point, the secret of Dion's ability has been revealed.
Todd gave the victims of the "Enchantment" ability on the night of the duel psychological rehabilitation and trauma transfer therapy, and most of them returned to normal. But there are still a small number of people who, because they were so close to Dieng on the night of the incident, have caused indelible permanent damage to their brains due to the high concentration of pheromones. Even with psychological counseling, subconsciously, their idea of seeing Dion as an "eternal lover" is still difficult to change.
As for the culture of this parasite, Todd extracted a large amount of "Leishmania" from Dion's armpits, earlobes and other glands. After propagating with a culture carcass, a person-specific pheromone concentrate can be obtained by injecting the body fluid containing the individual's genetic information into a petri dish.
After that, Todd spent several days cultivating and collecting 90 milligrams of male pheromones (androstenoones) using himself as a model.
Looking at the liquid in the glass vial, Todd began to worry again. Because he couldn't think of how to use it......
Androstenone only works on women, and their own pheromones cannot be used in wars or in production. He thought about it for a long time, and finally decided that this parasite had only one effect.
"Open the harem".
However, as a good young man with ideals, culture, morality, and discipline, it is really a matter of no meaning and righteousness to devote his limited life to endless desires......
Reason suppressed the desire, Todd sealed the parasite and pheromones, locked them in the back of the experimental building, and put the word "danger" on the surface of the storage vessel.
However, to his surprise, in the near future, the "pheromone" parasite and his "pheromone" will come in handy.
