Chapter 26: Super Cells
Neither of us spoke for a while, I don't know what Ivan was thinking, I was already thinking about the reason for the change in my body: what special things did I eat? Did you drink any special drinks? No, I've been eating with Ivan a lot of the time, and he's not changed much, huh? White phosphorus? Could it be caused by white phosphorus? Not right either! The white phosphorus was prepared for me by Evan, and I didn't touch it! Tumor cells? It can't be either! I have never heard of tumor cells that can be inoculated on the human body, and tumors are not contagious! Take 10,000 steps back, even if I accidentally get it, I should have a tumor!
What is the reason for this? I racked my brains and had no clue, but I always believed that everything has a cause and an effect, and there must be a reason for the result we are today, but it has not yet been discovered by me. I searched my stomach and didn't miss a clue, but I still couldn't think of an eyebrow!
"The Hulk was made by γ rays, I'm a version of the Hulk, but I haven't touched γ rays," I said to Ivan beside me with a wry smile.
"That's all Hollywood nonsense to fool people, we are all together in Xi'an, so what have you done in Shanghai for most of the month?" Ivan didn't raise his head and asked me in a low voice.
Ivan's words woke me up, was it because of the blood transfusion? Right! Now it seems that this is the only reason! So I told Ivan about the car accident in Shanghai, how to transfuse and how to treat it.
"I can't find any other reason, then there is only this one explanation, and your wound recovered so quickly at that time, it is impossible for a normal person to remove the wound stitches so quickly! If it is really caused by a blood transfusion, it means that you have introduced a very energetic stem cell into your body at the same time as the transfusion, they divide vigorously, so your wound heals so quickly, and they have multiplied and strengthened your muscle fibers. Ivan said as he thought about it.
It's all student biology, and Ivan's got it as soon as I said it. "But I don't think anything has changed in my body," I asked, puzzled.
"You take your clothes off!"
"What do you want to do? I've known you for so long, I didn't expect you to be like this! I watched him warily with my hands on my chest.
"If I tell you to take it off, you will take it off!" Ivan's temper temper came up again, and I seemed to understand his intentions. So he twisted and took off his coat, sweater and underwear.
When I took off my shirt one by one, Ivan grabbed me and pulled me to the mirror:
"What the are you calling it hasn't changed? See for yourself."
I'll go to his second uncle's! But in the mirror, the muscles on my body bulged like fists, the eight-pack abs were sharply replaced by my beer belly, the two huge pectorals were like two pieces of armor across the chest, and a wild muscular man appeared in front of me.......
When did it become like this? I really didn't find out! But it really looks pleasing to the eye, and I can't help but put on various poses and admire it.
"Okay, don't stink, what are you going to do next?" Ivan asked impatiently, but he seemed to envy my muscles.
I nodded: "Since there is a problem with the blood transfusion, then I will start with the blood check, and go to the hospital to do a blood routine first."
In the afternoon of the next day, Ivan accompanied me to the hospital to have a blood test and do a blood routine, and got the test report to see that the results of various examinations were normal. The two of us sat in our chairs in the hospital lobby and were confused.
Ivan was silent for a long time, and suddenly a sentence came out: "Check the telomeres!" ”。
This is indeed a good idea. Telomeres are a small complex of DNA and proteins present at the ends of the chromosomes of eukaryotic cells, and the more times a cell divides, the shorter the lifespan of the cell, the more its telomeres wear out, and the shorter the length. To put it simply, telomeres are a timer of cellular life and even human lifespan.
The telomeres of the somatic cells of the elderly are definitely shorter than the telomeres of the somatic cells of the younger people, and if I have naïve stem cells in my body that can actively divide, the telomeres of these cells will be much longer than the telomeres of my own body cells.
That's it! When we returned to school, we immediately went to the laboratory and checked the telomere length of my peripheral blood cell genome, this telomere examination experiment was still taught by me to Ivan, and the kit laboratory also had ready-made results, and the results were exactly as we expected, my cell genome telomeres have two kinds, one is short in length, which is the telomeres of my own somatic cells. There is also a kind of telomere that is very long, and according to the length, it is clearly a baby cell!
These must have entered my body through blood transfusions, they have a strong ability to divide, and they may have been replenished into various tissues in my body! At this point, we finally figured out why my body was changing this way.
But now the question comes again: if you give me a little blood, you will make me like this, who is Ye Lingwen? Or what the hell is she?
Three strange and terrifying dreams still keep me from letting go. I dreamed of her, I really saw her again, and I transfused her blood! This can't be a coincidence! Saying that she is a ghost, I absolutely don't believe it, there are no ghosts or gods in this world.
And her father, if it is really her father, then her father should also have this kind of blood, why does he still have a tumor if it is so powerful? And the photo I accidentally saw in their company last time, is that really Ye Lingwen's grandfather?
There are so many mysteries that I can't figure out, and my head hurts when I think about it! I was in a state of confusion. Suddenly I regretted going to Shanghai.
Seeing that my brows were tightened, Ivan comforted me, "Come on! Don't worry about it, maybe it's not as complicated as you think, you just have to figure it out and ask her in person, you still have to go to Shanghai anyway."
Hearing him say this, I thought to myself: Of course it's as complicated as I thought, and maybe even more complicated. Because there are a lot of things I don't even tell you. I have to figure this out so that I can be sure of it.
But who would have thought that it was my mentality of tracing back to the source that involved me in bizarre incidents, and I couldn't turn back and went farther and farther......
Time flies quickly, and the graduation defense is about to be completed in a blink of an eye, and the defense of graduate students in the school is usually carried out in advance, so as to leave us time to find a job. So my focus has been on completing my thesis lately, and I've put aside other things for the time being.
During this period, Ye Lingwen called several times and asked me when I would graduate and when I would be able to go to their company. I didn't mention the blood transfusion, I just said that I could go over after the graduation defense.
I asked her father about the situation on the phone, and she told me that after many examinations, the tumor cells had not metastasized at all, but the primary lesions on the liver and the lesions that had metastasized to the armpit and chest had never disappeared.
I thought to myself: if it's gone, it's healed. The ingredients screened out by these half-baked experiments have such a good effect, which has made me very excited, how can it be so easy to heal! I instructed her to continue taking the medication and not to interrupt the treatment as long as there were no adverse reactions.
