Chapter 55: Secret Ritual Parasitism
"Tomorrow..."
Uesugi Kiyoshi frowned a little embarrassed.
The situation on Ueno Sanshi's side is urgent, and he has to quickly find a way to save people, even if he is not completely sure to save him, he must do his best.
He agrees with what Ueno Miishi said before - to be a man, just have a clear conscience.
has shed blood and fought hard, even if he feels guilty, he can be relieved, but just like this, he can't feel at ease.
Yu Kudo looked at his worried look and chuckled and patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay, don't dwell on yourself, I'll meet him, an old thing, can't make any waves."
"I said, I have a way to protect myself, don't worry about me, but... It's up to you here, I'm afraid I can't help you. β
"Hey... Or did I miscalculate, moved his son, and pushed that old thing too hard, I didn't expect this young master Yamamoto to be so bleak, he couldn't even talk about an abandoned son, he was just a cannon fodder experiment... Of course, these are my conjectures, maybe I'm unfounded... But tomorrow I must be there, and my old man will also go, and I will protect him. β
Uesugi Kiyoshi nodded, a little apologetic in his voice.
"I see, you're busy, I'm here."
"Contact me if something happens, I'll be there right away - you can bring more people, I don't need the fighters of the association here, I can find someone to help."
β...β
Before Kiyoshi Uesugi could finish his sentence, the door to the containment chamber creaked open.
A white man with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a mask, with only a tall nose exposed, wiped the blood on his rubber gloves on his white coat and walked out.
He glanced at Kiyoshi Uesugi and Yuichi Kudo with his emotionless eyes, and forcibly inserted the conversation between the two very rudely.
"Excuse me, I personally examined the subject, and it has been determined that the genetic mutation is extremely violent, the nervous system is disturbed, there is obvious foreign signal interference in the brain wave domain, the danger of sinking is S-level, and the infection of the secret instrument is confirmed, and it is unknown whether it will become a new source of infection."
"The suggestion on my side is to execute him immediately, at least to brain-dead him, destroy his mental domain, and eliminate the possibility of the subject going berserk."
"Mr. Kudo, according to the regulations, we have the right to conduct research on this kind of experimental subject - the outer mystery of the living body is really rare, this is a rare experimental material for a hundred years, maybe the [Rulong] project can make phased progress in him, I apply for the right to study the corpse of the experimental subject, I will personally lead the team, I will not waste such a good opportunity in vain."
This white man speaks Japanese very authentically, but it is also very mechanical, a bit like the feeling of intelligent AI broadcasting.
When he said a few words, Uesugi Kiyoshi's face immediately darkened, and his hand unconsciously rubbed the hilt of the sword, if it weren't for the fact that the white man in front of him was a member of the Collectibles Association, this knife would have kissed his neck long ago.
Whether it was the call of Ueno Migoshi as an experimental subject, or the suggestion to execute Ueno Migoshi, or the ruthlessness that defied life, it made him nameless.
But Uesugi Kiyoshi forcibly resisted the urge to cut people - this foreign devil didn't do anything out of the ordinary, just gave a suggestion that complied with the rules and regulations, and made his own judgment, and he didn't insist on going his own way and acting without permission, he really can't do it unreasonably because of this kind of thing.
Of course, more reasons are... This white man, called "Edward", was the head of the collectibles association, the Ouroboros of the True Knowers organization, the general director, and the head of the scientific research department.
Uesugi Kiyoshi's equipment, except for those ghosts and gods that entered the mirage building, all have his credit.
In Uesugi Kiyoshi's plan, if you have to find someone who can help Ueno Mishi's situation, it is only this blonde and blue-eyed person in front of him.
He is an expert in the transcendental realm, or rather, in the use of "science" to describe the transcendental realm.
Uesugi Kiyoshi has met with Edward a few times, and has had some dealings, how to say, this person is a person who does not understand the world, he has devoted all his energy to the study of "extraordinary", and several important research projects and topics of the Tokyo Collectibles Association are drafted by him, and everything must be personally invested.
He is like a sophisticated and ruthless machine, everything he does is to accomplish a certain purpose, and there is no personal emotion mixed with it.
Uesugi Kiyoshi is not going to go and get angry with a machine.
"Professor Edward... Half an hour ago, I told you that I wanted a plan to treat Ueno's seniors, not a declaration like a critical illness notice, and I didn't provide you with experimental materials. β
"I just want to contain Ueno's predecessor's secret ritualization method and the way to get him back to normal."
There was a hint of imperceptible helplessness in Edward's turquoise pupils.
He shook his head and said, "Impossible, Mr. Uesugi, you don't understand the process and principle of mysticism, so I understand why you would say such ignorant words. β
"The secret ritual process of ordinary ghosts and gods is difficult to interrupt and irreversible, because the spiritual domain of human beings, or the consciousness space, is invaded and wrapped by the spiritual fluctuations of ghosts and gods after being mystically ritualized."
"It's kind of like a parasite."
"Have you ever heard of crab slaves? It is a barnacle-like parasite that grows in the crab's body, and they extend filament-like tissues and organs into the host's body, absorb nutrients, and eventually, they can invade the host's nervous system, control their movements, and even change their sex. β
"At this time, if you pull the crab slave out of the crab's body, the crab will die quickly."
"They're inseparable."
"That's the case with Mr. Ueno right now."
"Ghosts and gods infect and transform humans through the power of secret rituals, and I have done detailed research."
"I divide this process into three stages, which are the infiltration phase, the parasitic phase, and the outbreak phase."
"From demagoguery and seduction, to parasitism, to the completion of transformation, as long as this process begins, outsiders can't intervene."
"Unless the host's will is extraordinarily strong, he can resist the invasion and infection of the spirit by the power of the ghost mystic ritual, persist until the end of these three stages, and have self-awareness, then he will become a true esoteric ritualβa person who is not swayed by the power of ghosts and gods."
"I've never seen this kind of person, and at the age of Ueno-senpai... I'm afraid it's hard to do this, even if his willpower allows, his body can't hold it. β
"If Mr. Ueno can recover, it is really a miracle - I don't believe in a small probability of a miracle."
"Because of this secret ritual infection incident, it is different from the past, and Mr. Ueno's genetic sequence is changing, which is simply unbelievable."
"The power of the secret ritual can impregnate the spiritual plane, I can understand, but changing the body shape, the genetic sequence... It's also terrifying. β
"If this technology can be restored..."
Speaking of this, he stopped talking vigilantly, looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi's increasingly ugly face, tilted his head and thought about it.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Uesugi, but I've done my best."
"Although these words are a bit out of place, this is my plea, if Mr. Ueno really can't hold on, please give us the right to use his body, it's important to me."
"Of course, I won't refuse to treat Ueno-senpai because of this kind of thing, please trust my work ethic - I am a medical student."
"I have injected Mr. Ueno with a large amount of soothing incense extract regardless of the cost, and stabilized his thoughts with the Dream Mirror Conditioner of Dream Weaving, and he has now temporarily regained consciousness."
"You can go in and talk to him and ask for his opinion."
"I will accompany you throughout the process, and if there is any accident, I will treat it as soon as possible."
"Everyone is doing things for the association, please understand my request and don't embarrass me."
Uesugi pursed her thin lips, was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and then cheered up.
His eyes looked through the translucent glass window, looking at the old man Cangsang sitting on the hospital bed in a hospital gown, with a withered face, his fists clenched.
"You have your reasons, I have my principles."
"After the death, we will talk about it later."
"I'm not going to let Ueno-senpai die so easily."
"Professor Edward..."
"You don't believe in miracles, and I don't believe in that kind of ethereal thing."
"But..."
"I believe in myself."
"I can do it!"
