The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2237: Finding the Answer
"Gulu!"

Horii just stood at the door. Before he entered, he couldn't help swallowing, with an indelible trace of fear in his eyes.

It’s not that he is too timid, it’s just that the scene is too bloody and too terrifying.

His rich knowledge of biology enabled him to easily distinguish that there were eight people making up the dense network of blood and flesh cocoons in the room. It was like being stuffed into a meat grinder, minced into pieces and squeezed into long strips, then entangled together and all stuck in the cocoon in the middle that was one person tall.

Arteries and veins thicker than thumbs, with a bluish-purple sheen, are deeply embedded in this huge oval cocoon. The other end is connected to pools of flesh and blood stuck to the walls, the ground and even the ceiling. Some white bone streaks can be vaguely seen exposed, adding a touch of paleness to the blood-red.

And this giant cocoon is not static. Instead, it beats like a heart, contracting and expanding regularly. Every time it expands, the brightness of the cocoon increases rapidly. When it expands to its maximum, it is also its brightest. After it begins to contract, the brightness of the cocoon decreases rapidly. When it contracts to its minimum, it is also its darkest.

Just like this, it contracts and relaxes, brightens and darkens, and with each contraction, the thick arteries and veins connected to it, which are suspected to be from the human body, will tremble. Large streams of glowing liquid visible to the naked eye are pumped out from this huge "heart", flowing into pools of flesh and blood, and then flowing back as the "heart" expands.

And each time such a cycle is completed, the pools of flesh and blood will become visibly wilted. It is not difficult to guess that such a cycle is to absorb nutrients from the flesh and blood.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Horii himself didn't realize that his voice was trembling when he spoke.

This has nothing to do with courage, but rather the creatures' instinctive fear of the unknown, not to mention the presence of so many shattered flesh and blood of their own kind, which adds to the fear.

"It is evolving towards a living thing." Qianye Cheng said in a deep voice: "From the steel of a dead thing to the evolution of the mother nest, it is imitating and evolving."

Agamus nodded and said, "It is indeed primitive, even a blank sheet of paper, perhaps..."

Agamus paused for a moment, and Horii was startled. Then his eyes slowly lit up, and he finally said as if he had suddenly realized something: "Fight poison with poison. Use Sphia to devour Sphia, and achieve the effect of targeted drugs."

"That's right," Agamus said with a smile, "Sphia can assimilate everything, including Sphia."

However, Horii was not so happy. After some thought, he put away his smile and replaced it with a worried look. He said, "But... it's very dangerous."

He is a researcher, so he naturally understands the principle of a double-edged sword.

The method proposed by Agamus is theoretically feasible and can be achieved with TPC's current technology.

But it is very dangerous. If you are not careful, you might release a horrible monster.

Natural viruses that spread among humans need to make a trade-off between infectivity and mortality rate.

If the disease is highly contagious, the mortality rate must not be high, and the stronger the contagiousness, the lower the mortality rate, just like the common cold; relatively speaking, if the mortality rate is high, the contagiousness is naturally very low.

This is a truth that has evolved over tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years, but once the power of technology is added, this naturally derived balance will be broken, and various technologies can be used to create viruses that have both characteristics.

The same is true in the universe. Those terrible things that are spread everywhere, no matter how mysterious they are, are most likely man-made products, but they are not people from this dimension.

Therefore, if we can artificially intervene and customize the 'vaccine' Sphia needed by humans, we can also create a more aggressive and more contagious 'virus' Sphia.

Anyone who knows about vaccines knows that the vaccine itself is a kind of "virus", but it has undergone special inactivation treatment, but it still has the characteristics of the virus.

If we can make vaccines, we can naturally make viruses.

If you know anything about the past, you will know the character of human beings or some human beings. They really don't care about the life or death of others and only care about their own interests.

Not to mention other things, Ebron cells alone have created countless monsters. Dr. Otomo of the Institute of Biotechnology has even performed the magical operation of cloning monsters. As for Sphia, its current performance alone is more than ten miles ahead of Ebron cells.

Not only do Ebron cells need a living organism as a host, they also need a large amount of electricity to be able to transform into a monster, and the power consumption is astonishing. The power consumption in one second is enough for the residents of a small town to use for a year. But Sphia, no matter whether it is soil or stone, can be assimilated into a monster. The fact that it is "not picky about food" alone is enough to kill Ebron cells in seconds, not to mention Sphia's series of functions such as space flight, interstellar shuttle, and autonomous reproduction.

As long as people know that Sphia can be 'customized', there is no doubt that people will be able to play with it in many ways. When it comes to courting death, many people have always been professionals.

but
Even though we know this is a Pandora's box, we have to open it.

Because there is no other choice!!!

Either we watch the Sphia virus get worse and worse, turning the Earth into the second Bazit Planet; or we try to quench our thirst with poison, that is, live one day at a time, live one day at a time.

"Ugh!"

Horii sighed deeply and put these questions behind him. This was not something he could decide. The only thing he could do was to do the right thing to the best of his ability.

What's more, it's too early to think about these things now. It's not certain whether it will succeed. After all, this is Sphia. At the level of life, it is far beyond the scope of human understanding. It's really uncertain whether we can use this to develop a Sphia vaccine. It's indeed too early to think about the harm.

Nakajima Tsutomu looked at the three people chatting as if no one was around, then looked at the still beating heart cocoon, and couldn't help but remind them: "This thing needs to be dealt with as soon as possible."

Although he didn't know what it was, it was definitely not a good thing. And its beating made Nakajima Tsutomu feel that his heart was almost in sync with this ugly thing. He was worried that the thing inside would burst out of his flesh in the next second, so he couldn't help but give a reminder.

"Compared to this," Qianye Cheng said, turning his head to look at Agamus, and asked, "It turns out that it is not interested in you this time?"

Agamus was also somewhat confused, and even boldly took two steps forward, leaving Qianye Cheng's protection and entering the room, but the blurred flesh and blood did not make any movement this time, and ignored Agamus' approach. Only this giant cocoon, like a heart, kept beating at a fixed frequency. Agamus stood there and waited for several seconds, but still did not make any movement, as if his attraction to 'Sphia' had disappeared, or was it not the same Sphia?

"Let's clean it up." Chiba Makoto pulled Agamus back and then raised the magic stick forward.

Swish!
The golden wings opened, and the core burst into a dazzling golden light, brighter than the sun, instantly filling the entire room. The light was so strong that Horii and Nakajima Tsutomu couldn't open their eyes at all. Even if they closed their eyes or even raised their arms, they still felt a bright spot in front of their eyes. They couldn't help but take a few steps back to block out the overly strong light.

Extremely dazzling light poured out from the doors, windows and cracks, illuminating the dim alley, which was much brighter than daytime. From a distance, it looked like a golden and magnificent place.

Such a bright light, even from a long distance one can clearly see the brilliance that breaks the darkness. The patrolmen on the streets and passers-by watching from afar all couldn't help but cast their eyes over, staring at this brightest light in the dark night.

Although it was not shining directly on them, just by looking at it, it felt like the lingering fear in their hearts had instantly dissipated for the most part, and their hearts were relieved, and they felt much calmer.

Compared to the relief of the people, the flesh and cocoon in the room felt very uncomfortable. Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! The sound was like ice and snow touching a red-hot iron. It was melting just like ice and snow. It first liquefied into drops, but before it hit the ground, it had already vaporized and disappeared without a trace.

It's too late to say, then soon!
In just a few breaths, all the flesh and blood in the room melted away completely, but other things were not affected at all. Even the napkins on the table that were most easily ignited did not show any signs of being burnt. It was obvious that the light was only directed at the flesh and blood in the room. This shows how strong Qianye Makoto's micro-control is.

just
The magic wand closed, and the dazzling golden light dissipated, making people's eyes suddenly dark, and the world returned to darkness. The original warmth in the body now felt like falling into an ice cave, making people feel reluctant to leave.

At this time, Qianye Cheng's voice sounded: "Sample box."

Horii suddenly woke up, hurriedly picked up the box in his hand, opened it skillfully, and then a small ball of light flew over and fell accurately into the test tube. Horii quickly plugged the test tube, then closed the box and put the sample in it.

Xibi Gangzhu witnessed the whole process, his expression was very solemn, and he asked: "What on earth is this thing?"

"The evolving Primordial Sphia," Agamus's expression was not very good, and he said, "We have to speed up."

"Speed? What speed?" Kibi Tsunade asked puzzledly. Looking for the source of the spread?
Agamus shook his head slightly and said, "The evolution of the original Sphia is too fast. It may soon catch up with the Sphia Sphere and the Sphia Vanguard. By then..."

He didn't know what would happen, maybe the three types of Sphia would kill each other, or the three types of Sphia would merge, or...
do not know!
He had never seen it, and couldn't imagine what would happen.

I thought Bazite Planet was miserable enough, but I never expected that the Earth in this world is even more exciting. There are three kinds of Sphia, loving and killing each other here.

Although the earth seems to be peaceful now, with only occasional outbreaks of psoriasis, the three types of Sphia will never remain like this. The fragile balance will eventually be broken. Perhaps this rapidly evolving primitive Sphia is...
"As soon as possible. Try your best."

Although Chiba Makoto wanted to cheer him up, science is something that oftentimes doesn't produce results just by working hard. Sphia is very unfamiliar to humans and Agamus, and it's also a very "advanced" thing. It's really not something that can be achieved by just working hard.

All I can say is, do your best and leave the rest to fate!

The research on the original Sphia is in full swing.

TPC convened a large number of experts and scholars in biology, medicine and other fields, divided them into several groups, and worked on the project in order to complete the genetic analysis of Sphia as soon as possible.

The core of all living things in the world is genes.

Just like the source code of a program, only by decrypting the source code can you know what the program does and what this line of code is used for.

However, TPC does not just take this path. In addition to genetic mapping, it also uses conventional methods for pathological analysis and vaccine development.

By taking multiple approaches, as long as one of them is open, we can reach Rome.

In addition to scientists' hard work, the Intelligence Bureau and the Police Bureau are also doing their best to track down the video and source of the virus spread.

Through visits and investigations, we look for close contacts, and then investigate the close contacts and who are the close contacts. This investigation continues layer by layer, like tree branches, from one person to a large circle of people, and then to more people, just to find out whether the infected person has had contact, or what they have been in contact with.

This is a very huge task, because a person will come into contact with many people in society, and these people will come into contact with more people. If you investigate them one by one, the number will increase to tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, and even tens of millions. Only a global organization like TPC can do it, and they can find clues in just a few days.

But this result
"Police Department???"

Chiba Makoto looked at the information in his hand, feeling surprised but also somewhat expected.

In the Aopeng, in addition to the front defense team, there must also be a back defense team to hold back.

In the TPC worldview where the Earth Defense Force has been disbanded, the "villains" are the Police Bureau, which was once composed of the Earth Defense Force.

The Police Bureau is also quite worthy of its character setting. What they do is similar to that of the Defense Force, that is, they conduct research without any scruples, researching any taboos. What stands out is their stubbornness, not turning back even if they hit a wall.

After an in-depth investigation by the Intelligence Bureau, the people involved in the three Sfia infection incidents discovered so far all pointed to one target: the Police Bureau.

Yamagami Ichino and Inoue Mitsuten, the office workers in the apartment building incident, and several employees in the izakaya incident, were all employees of the same company by a "coincidence". This cannot be described as a coincidence.

This is a precision processing company that enjoys a high reputation in the industry and is ranked among the best in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is top-notch.
