Chapter 1: The Mysterious Prison

Next Chapter

Sewage flows sideways and plaque is rampant.

Deep in an abandoned prison......

Syllable!

A mass of cells wrapped in plasma membrane detached from the surface of a corpse.

The cell group is the size of a human index finger and has a macroscopic appearance that resembles a white snot.

This mass of cells appears to have the ability to think and act independently.

However, due to the imperfection of the nervous system, there are no five senses.

However, when a cell mass comes into contact with a foreign substance, it is possible to obtain basic information about the substance through a special means of cell-to-cell signaling.

The isolated cells did not linger for too long and began to move.

Transcription & Translation.

Actin production.

The finger-sized mass of cells began to undergo an extremely slow 'migration movement', about as fast as a snail could move.

"No...... Not perfect and not what I wanted. ”

The cell clump seems to have voluntarily abandoned the seemingly intact and strong body and continued its search in the prison......

If there is currently a torch to provide illumination.

You'll find hundreds of bodies abandoned by the mass of cells in this huge cell.

…………

Cell clumps do not form on their own.

It has its own name - Han Dong.

Overseas Chinese, an associate professor at the School of Life Sciences at the University of Florence in Italy, was just 31 years old before he became a condensate of cells.

On July 21, 2018, he died of lung cancer in his bed at the Central Hospital of Florence.

The hospital room was filled with flowers, but they came from his students, not his family.

At the moment of death, the pain and suffering dissipated, and Han Dong felt relieved.

I didn't go to heaven or hell, I didn't drink Meng Po soup, I didn't go up to the Nai He Bridge, and I went through the so-called reincarnation.

He was greeted only by endless darkness.

However, his consciousness is always present in the process.

"Am I dead or not?! After a person dies, the brain remains active for five minutes...... But I've been dead for an hour, haven't I? ”

Han Dong's 'sense of time' is extremely strong, and he is conscious, and he knows very well how long he has been 'dead'.

Han Dong slowly tried to perceive the 'body', but who knows, the image of a cell mass appeared in his consciousness.

There are only two things that can be done.

First, it can sense the detailed information of the objects it touches through intercellular signal transmission.

Second, locomotor capacity is generated by the production of actin.

Just when Han Dong synthesized actin in the cell for the first time and carried out related activities, a systematic prompt echoed in his mind.

"Please choose a 'suitable' body in the prison, the current maximum weight value is [100].

If you are not satisfied with the selected carcass, you can send the carcass to the processing room for separation.

In its non-cellular form, it is not allowed to move or transfer the flesh of other prisoners.'"

End of prompt.

At Han Dong's level of consciousness, another plan of the prison was generated.

Single-layer structure

Two hundred and four cells in total.

The floor plan also uses light points and annotations to mark the corresponding prisoners in each cell, and annotate the word 'deceased'.

In addition, the middle area of the prison shows a red-marked room called the Management Room, which is locked.

The room where Han Dong is currently located is the [Processing Room].

"Prisons abroad? Reborn after death? What the hell am I? ”

These problems did not bother Han Dong for long.

He has been at the forefront of science for a long time, and he has a strong ability to accept new things.

For a short period of time, he realized that he was a group of independent cells with a protective membrane, although it was unclear how a group of cells could survive and carry consciousness independently.

The cell is the basic unit of vital activity, which is enough to prove that he is not dead.

"The so-called death crossing happened to me? Moreover, it has crossed into a mass of cells? It's ironic. ”

Han Dong has devoted his life to the study of cell biology, and published an article in the top international journal Cell six months ago on the role of activating and controlling cell regulation through gene encoding.

Han Dong, who was rated as an associate professor because of this article, was diagnosed with advanced lung cancer during the physical examination of all teachers in the school...... Suffering from the relentless erosion of cancer cells, the future is ruined.

He was supposed to die completely after his consciousness died, but he was reborn in the form of a cell mass.

…………

Without much hesitation, considering that the cell mass also needs energy to function properly, it is imperative to follow the instructions of the mysterious system to find the 'suitable' body.

Follow the directions on the map.

Han Dong made his way to the nearest cell in an extremely slow 'crawl' manner.

Almost the same migration movement as a snail took him a full day.

Paired with a map in consciousness, corresponding to a small point of light that symbolizes 'oneself', it migrates to the next cell in the shortest path, making contact with the corpse of a prisoner in the prison for the first time.

"Fortunately, there are instructions from the map, otherwise it would be really troublesome if the five senses are completely lost......"

The moment it came into contact with the corpse.

Han Dong's consciousness level immediately showed a complete human body profile, and it was also equipped with detailed text annotations, which could be viewed at the consciousness level.

Campbell. Frank (Underground Black Boxer)

[Skull] Inferior, Weight Requirements: 5

【Left Arm】Normal, Weight Requirements: 11

[Right Arm] Premium, "Quick Punch" skill, Weight Requirements: 23

【Torso】Normal, weight-bearing requirements: 13

【Left Foot】Normal, Weight Requirements: 11

【Right Foot】Normal, Weight Requirements: 14

A series of data information was fed back to Han Dong's consciousness level.

"The prisoner seems to have undergone 'special treatment' before he died, so that the body does not decompose, and can be occupied and controlled by me.

As mentioned in the previous prompt, if you are not satisfied with the body, you can discard it in the [Processing Room] and choose again.

There are many more flesh bodies to choose from, and it is necessary to use one of them to understand the current situation. ”

"Please make sure you want to get Campbell. Frank's whole body? The required weight is 77.'

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye.

The cell mass enters the body from the 'hole' on the surface of the prisoner's body, activates the whole body in a short time, and recovers vitality.

First, a ringing in the ears echoed in my head.

Immediately after, the cold stone touch came from all parts of the body...... Indicates that the nervous system is fully engaged.

The simple cell made of black rock and steel bar comes into view, and the vision is restored.

Just when Han Dong plans to investigate and analyze the mysterious prison, deduce why he was reborn and what kind of secrets the mysterious prison hides.

Airplanes! The whole person suddenly froze.

Han Dong propped up the wall with one hand, gritted his teeth and roared!

"Wow...... This guy is mentally retarded! ”

Completely occupy the [Campbell. After that, Han Dong was very uncomfortable.

As a result of the restoration of the five senses, he obtained information about the surrounding environment, and when he went further, intending to perform complex data processing through the brain, something went wrong!

Han Dong is the ontology of consciousness, but he is the youngest associate professor in the life science college of a well-known university, and he is a scholarly master.

But consciousness is consciousness, and when consciousness collects data through the senses, personifies the relevant processing formulas, and wants to hand it over to the brain for processing, there is a big problem!

It's like buying a loser's eye 2080ti graphics card, but such a top-of-the-line graphics card is housed in a host computer with only an older version of the I3 processor.

What's even more problematic is that this processor has been flooded!!

Due to the introduction of large amounts of data, the system nearly collapsed.

Han Dong could only close his eyes and recite the Great Compassion Mantra silently in his mouth, reducing the intake of information from the outside world as much as possible and emptying his mind as much as possible!

Otherwise, this mentally retarded brain will inevitably die or even 'burn out' due to the introduction of a large amount of data.
