Chapter 29: Consecration
If it is put in the modern society, the discovery of "Sutherland archaea" may be included in the list of the ten most important discoveries of microorganisms.
At least in Todd's previous life and the books he had read, there had never been such a bacterium with such strange properties.
The size of Sutherland archaea is not fixed, its cell wall has a fairly free extension and elasticity, its nucleus can produce directional thrust, and the trace solution it releases can expand the cytoskeletal gap in endothelial cells.
Not only that, but the most amazing feature of this archaea is its ability to synchronize with nerves and produce a stress response to the toxicology of xenogeneous microorganisms.
It may be a bit incomprehensible to say this.
To illustrate with a simple example.
When Todd is not using the ability and is in his daily life, the toxic substances metabolized by the "clairvoyant ability" bacteria in the eyes will stimulate the nerves, triggering the Sutherland archaea in the nervous system to "attack" actively, pass through the cytoskeleton, directly block and encapsulate the xenobacteria, and excrete the toxic substances, absorb and purify them and discharge them into the human body.
When Todd uses the "clair", the Sutherland archaea that have received the nerve center stimulation will "temporarily retreat", automatically release the xenobacteria in the body, and slowly retreat into the nervous system, waiting for the next command.
This bacterium is like a safety knob for firearms supplies, which is closed at ordinary times to prevent the firearm from igniting, and the safety will only be opened when it is in use.
Todd looked at the scene under the microscope, trembling with excitement, and shouted in his heart that it was incredible.
As for the origin of "see-through bacteria" in the body, researchers have gradually come to the answer.
If the history of the larynx bone is true, then these see-through xenobacteria should come from the body of the Sutherland sages thousands of years ago.
This answer sounds a bit ridiculous, but it has sound logical reasoning.
Thousands of years ago, Sutherland, the alchemist who covered the eastward migration of the xeno's bloodline, should have been an xenomorph himself, and the bacteria of the 'clairvoyant ability' existed in his body.
At the time of his death, during the cooling period of the nerve center, Sutherland archaea locked and preserved all the xenobacteria in his body. In that seven-day, seven-night cremation fire, heat-resistant archaea protected the xenobacteria in their cell walls, survived together, and clinged to the alchemist's ashes.
Next, there is a series of coincidences arranged by fate.
Xia Shang traveled to this other world, and Todd opened the "Box of Proverbs" in the cellar. At the same time that Sutherland's ashes sprayed the two fools' faces, the Sutherland archaea that were wrapped in clairvoyant bacteria also entered their nervous system and began to function again.
Todd sat down in his chair contentedly, looked at the little morning light from the roof, listened to the morning bell in his ears, and took a deep breath. Although he hadn't closed his eyes for more than twenty hours, he didn't feel tired at all, but his brain was unusually awake.
Having put away the table and preserving the utensils, the monk closed the crack, closed the door, and returned to the monk's quarters.
It wasn't until he saw his bed that he finally felt tired, and fell asleep on the bed.
In the dream, he returned to the university in his previous life, with the major discoveries of microorganisms, published countless key core journal papers, participated in countless summits in the field of microbiology around the world, appeared in "Time" magazine, won the "Nobel Prize in Physiology", married Bai Fumei, and embarked on the peak of life......
"Mr. Todd. ”
It's as if a woman is pushing herself.
"Mr. Todd, hurry up. ”
This strength is not light or heavy, just right.
“......”
Crash!
A cloud of snow poured down.
Todd screamed and jumped out of bed.
Karin rubbed her palms and looked innocently at the victim.
The monk, who had regained consciousness in an instant, looked helplessly at the initiator while wiping the top of his head with a dry cloth beside the bed.
"Don't you have a better way to get people out of bed?"
The girl spread her hands and said with a smile, "It's the fastest, isn't it?"
"What's the need to be in such a hurry to call me up?!"
Tilting her head in the direction of the monastery gates, Karin's words were full of disgust: "There are several church dogs barking and saying they want to see you. ”
What the?
Church?
Todd walked out of the room with a question mark on his head. As he walked, he thought that the only person he had ever seen in the church was Father Rupert, right?
Walking through the corridor leading to the vestibule, he realized that the monastery of today is somewhat different from what it used to be.
The sun was high in the sky, and at noon the monks who were out preaching and studying the scriptures on their own should be rushing to the cafeteria near the main hall, but there were few people to be seen on the way.
It was only when they reached the gates of the monastery that Todd knew where they had gone.
The monks of the monastery, led by several old masters, surrounded the main gate and confronted a group of visitors.
Among the visitors, a man with a gloomy face in a black robe stood opposite the monks, holding the cross on his chest with one hand and pointing at the crowd opposite: "A servant of the Father, a brother of the same root, this is what you praise for piety and charity?"
More and more people gathered nearby, and people exchanged heads and talked about it.
Someone saw Todd's figure appear in the antechamber and shouted, "Come out!
Hearing the salutation from the mouth of the believer, the black-robed man twitched the corners of his eyes and turned his head in the direction of the antechamber.
The cheering crowd, the expressionless visitors, the monks with unguarded faces. Todd touched the bridge of his nose depressedly, it seemed that things were more troublesome than he thought.
"Friend Todd, I am Father Paul, sent by Bishop Fabian, to announce to you the consecration decision of the Church. ”
The black-robed man's words made the monk's heart even more suspicious.
He understood the meaning of the word "consecration," and that the consecration of the Holy Order from those who were high in the Church to the priesthood was conferred.
To put it simply, the leaders in the church give their subordinates a promotion.
But this consecration ritual is not at all logical.
1. Todd is clearly a monk, not a member of the clergy, and is not eligible to be conferred the Holy Order at all.
2. Even if the consecration is consecrated, it should be performed in the bishop's cathedral, and a special ceremony should be set up. What kind of reasoning is this kind of announcement of finding a mountain and finding a priest to deal with errands?
Father Paul took out a parchment scroll from his bosom, handed it to him, and said aloud: "Fellow Todd, Your Excellency has granted you the Holy Order of the Triple Rank Auxiliary Exorcist. ”
This is even more messy.
The holy ranks of the Heavenly Father's sect are generally divided into priests (first rank), chanter (second rank), exorcist (third rank), Xiangli member (fourth rank), deputy assistant priest (fifth rank), assistant priest (sixth rank) and priest (seventh rank) from low to high.
It's true that the exorcist is a third-grade, but what does it mean to add the word auxiliary in front of it?
For example, this is like those world-renowned universities in the previous life, which awarded the so-called celebrities the title of honorary alumni.
Todd glanced at the people around him.
The monks of the monastery looked at him with a faint hostility, and the visiting members of the church looked at him with expressions of waiting for a show.
Thinking back to the battle between the "ascetics" and the "ecclesiastical" sect that Huggins had told him in the past, Todd suddenly understood.
It turned out that he was used as a gun......
