The production of the original microscope was a milestone advance for Todd's xenogeneic ability research.

In the past, Todd's clairlight could only observe the situation in the body of the xenomorph with the naked eye, such as the parasite in the adrenal glands of Jerry Jerry. Even smaller microorganisms can only see the shadow of unidentified organisms coming together.

With the light microscope, although the magnification is less than 400x, and the chromatic and temperature differences of the lens are not satisfactory, at least in addition to parasites, the new source of abnormal abilities - the body of bacteria, including Huggins and Edgar's "eubacteria" and "archaea" in Todd's neural network system.

However, the more discoveries are made, the more questions there are.

Todd's primary concern is how harmful bacteria are to infected organisms.

Looking at Huggins's palm up close, the skin and tissues of the man's hand have been poisoned and discolored due to a heterogeneous bacterium called "debilitating", and the internal bones and textures have been damaged to varying degrees, and this corruption has begun to spread from the hand to the arm. If left alone, at this rate, within the next five years, half of a man's body will have organ failure and tissue necrosis.

Fluoroscopy was then used to observe Edgar's leg nerves. Although the xenomorph bacteria named "Speed" gave the boy super speed and agility, it caused the nerves at the end of his lower body to atrophy to varying degrees. The boy himself admits that when he sleeps at night, he often loses sensation in his legs. In this way, once the bacteria invade the nerve center, all that awaits him is paralysis or worse.

For his own diagnosis, in order to be on the safe side, Todd also identified the bacteria extracted from the bodies of the two in the laboratory according to the staining and identification method of the Danish bacteriologist Hans Gram in his previous life, Hans Gram.

After dyeing the bacteria with an alkaline dye crystal violet and then decolorizing them with alcohol, the purple color of Huggins's "weakened bacteria" was not removed, and it was a "gram-positive bacteria" (G+), and Edgar's "rapid bacteria" showed a light red color that was a "gram-negative bacteria (G-)". The former mainly produces exotoxins to cause disease, while the latter mainly relies on endotoxins to cause disease.

Looking at this result, the monk apprentice was finally able to understand what was the real reason for the decrease in the xenogeneous blood in the mouth of the larynx.

Being hunted by the church is only a secondary reason, and the slow killing of infected people by pathogens is the main reason for the gradual decline of xenogene!

With this discovery, Todd walked out of the laboratory with a heavy heart, and Karin, dressed in a monk's robe, followed behind him, seeing that his face was blue and silent, and it was rare that he did not bother him with questions.

The monks found the xenomorph trio at the foot of the monastery hill, supervising the artisans refining the silver.

Edgar wears a shiny new outfit. He began to pay for the work of the convent to be done by a child from a nearby village, who looked much fatter than before because of his avoidance of labor and heavy eating.

Huggins didn't change much, his body was still the same shabby leather jacket, the boots on his feet were still not willing to be thrown away, and even the leather pot was still the inferior ale that was hard to swallow. Where did this guy spend all that money?

Todd didn't plan to tell them what he had found for the time being, but turned his attention to little Jerry with a smile on his face.

As early as the exorcism, he discovered that external stimuli can cause adrenal parasites to secrete body fluids, and he already had a vague idea at that time, but a series of events that happened after him made him forget about it.

With the idea of helping one count one first, he gathered the three of them around and talked about his idea of solving the tall young man's "berserk ability".

In fact, the solution is very simple, in the end, it is just one word.

Scare.

Try your best to stimulate little Jerry's nerves and force him to adapt and control the activities of the adrenal parasites in his body.

Telling them what they found in the last exorcism, Todd left room for the three to play after making sure he couldn't help more. He chose to return to the lab and continue to find ways to suppress the bacteria in Huggins and Edgar.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and at Todd's repeated requests, Karin went back to rest first. After a simple dinner, he continued his experiments in the faint light of an oil lamp.

I can't remember exactly how many times this was attempted.

The xenobacteria under the microscope devour the normal cells of the human body little by little, and once again release toxins. Todd tugged at his hair tightly and let out a low growl of annoyance.

The antibacterial experiment failed again.

Natural antibiotics, organic acids, low temperatures, active filters...... Todd tried everything he could, but the xenobacteria in Huggins and Edgar still survived.

Looking at the four glass petri dishes in front of him, which contained "debilitating bacteria", "rapid bacteria", "perspective bacteria", and "Sutherland archaea", Todd buried his face deep in his hands, and the self-blame and frustration that he had never felt before rose from the bottom of his heart.

This is different from the topics and research in the biochemical laboratories in his previous life, what he is doing now is trying to save two lives, two lives of his friends. Todd's knowledge is nearly a millennium ahead of the world, and microbiology is his best academic field, but it is painful and humiliating for him to be helpless in the face of these never-before-seen bacteria.

Dejected, he stood up, trying to get out of this place of frustration. The fatigue of the long period and the long time of sitting made him just stand up, the blood rushed to his brain, his eyes were dark, his feet staggered, and his hands waved forward.

Bang dang.

The four petri dishes in front of him were knocked over together, and the culture liquid flowed everywhere along the stone table.

Todd, who hurriedly bent down and cleaned up the mess, was desperate to find that the bacterial samples in the other three petri dishes had all been mixed into the petri dish of Sutherland's archaea.

"Ah! Sleep, this is a waste!" (Chinese)

Picking up the petri dish mixed with the four bacteria, he exhaled and looked at the barrel in the corner, thinking that he would go to Huggins and Edgar again tomorrow to take samples, but his feet did not move.

Glancing at the glass in his hand again, a strange thought arose in Todd's mind.

Otherwise?

Look at it with a microscope, what's going on here?

Do what you think.

After taking a sample of the petri dish and placing it on the observation table, Todd felt his heart stop beating for a split second as he put his eyes on the eyepiece.

"How is this possible?"

The devouring stopped, and the toxin was gone. "Sutherland archaea" is like a miniature "safe", firmly "locking" the other three xenobacteria in the cell wall, stopping their "evil deeds".

In the history of later generations, no one thought that it was actually an experimental accident, which lit the way forward for the long dark night of xeno-kind redemption.
