Tokyo: Parasite

Chapter 409: 179: Blood and Flesh Ball

Bai Shihang will solve the problem of the fox people when the time is right, but there is no need to tell them specifically.

He didn't mind Louis' cleverness, but he also didn't want to be a full-time nanny who had to cater to every need.

Besides, the way out of life is to find a way out by yourself. Perhaps they will find a solution by themselves without his help.

After all, Shiraishi Hang was in a high enough position to know that if Hedwig's research could go further, although it would not be able to solve the underlying logical flaws of the fox people, it would also enable Fox No. 2 to complete production smoothly.

It's just that the difficulty is a bit high and requires the cooperation of Nakai Hayabusa. Without the message from the "Holy Infant", Nakai Hayabusa would probably be too lazy to cooperate.

Compared with these minor details, he was more concerned about the seeded players for whom he designed the path to becoming gods. In order to make those seeded players succeed, he had always controlled the suppression of the Old God of the Moon, allowing him to have a certain resistance ability without causing too much damage.

But it was just a design. There were many seeded players, and whoever could get to the top could be said to be his arrangement.

For him, as long as time is enough, nothing in the solar system can pose a threat to him, and all the old gods are just petri dishes for him to cultivate new gods.

but……

Bai Shihang glanced at Xiao Ke who was playing in the mud on Mercury, and felt that he needed to rebuild the angel system as soon as possible, otherwise he would have to do everything by himself.

As for the unfortunate kid Xiao Ke, he can't be relied upon.

The life level has evolved to this extent, but the mentality is actually no different from that of a child.

A few days ago, Noguchi flattered her a few times and all her tentacles were raised.

All skill points are placed on strength.

My brain is almost as clear as it was when I was an octopus.

No, maybe he is not as smart as Squidward. After all, he has super powers, so there is no need to use his brain, hehe.

Such a stupid child probably has straight intestines, so he definitely won’t get constipated.

Bai Shihang looked at him unkindly. "I, as the main god, am busy maintaining the barrier. How can you, a subordinate god, be so idle?"

Xiao Ke, who was reclaiming land on Mercury, suddenly felt something. He looked towards the direction of the sun, and his head suddenly and secretly retracted into the water, and even his movements became much smaller.

They dare not fill up the mainland wantonly, but only secretly build up small islands.

"Sister, does this not match the design you drew?" The honest puppy poked his head out of the sea, holding a modified "Mercury native fish" in his hand. On the fish scales were the design drawings of the first phase of the Mercury land and sea transformation project that Xiao Ke had carefully considered.

"What do you know? No matter how good the plan is, it is still rigid and cannot compare to the world illuminated by a flash of inspiration."

Xiao Ke's tone left no room for doubt.

She just had a better idea instead of being frightened by the gaze of the Lord.

The puppy wanted to say something, but when he saw the huge tentacle half exposed above the water behind Xiao Ke and Sister Xiao Ke with a smile on her face but no eyes, he wisely closed his mouth and dived back into the water.

Since he didn't have to work, he continued to dig his little cave.

Now that there is a major construction project on land, the small island where he originally lived has become a ruin, and he can only dig a hole underwater to live in temporarily.

Given my sister's personality, after the first phase, there will definitely be a second and third phase, and it will take some time for the earth to be stable.

It would be better to dig a hole at the bottom of the sea and live in it first, and then float up when you want to bask in the sun.

He was quite satisfied living here. The biggest drawback was that there was too little food here. Xiao Ke also said that in order to protect the current ecological environment and avoid insufficient evolutionary base, which would lead to evolutionary lag and make it difficult for local intelligent life to be born, he was forbidden to eat.

Only the puppy is stupid, otherwise I would have to criticize monsters for considering the ecological environment, isn't that ridiculous?

While Mercury was considering ecological protection and continental reconstruction, Hasamu had already arrived in Japan and met his old friend Carlos again.

"Afei's warlords didn't dare to do anything. With their background and matching mechanism, even if they did, it would be like child's play. I can handle it myself."

Hasamu and Carlos reminisced about the past in a high-rise bar in Kyoto.

After Hasam left Pakistan a few years ago, he invited Carlos to co-found the Sword of Damocles organization.

Then they took root in Africa and the Middle East, intimidated the local anti-government forces, maintained order first so that UN aid could flow in smoothly, and then sought out agents and supported them to take power, allowing the seeds of order to slowly grow in those turbulent areas and dispel the long-lasting shadow of imperialism.

Even though some powerful countries are not afraid of Hasam's organization, they are unwilling to offend it and take the trouble to do so.

Although the pawns they each supported were listed as targets for attack after peace, they also achieved a stable situation where hostile forces could not take action.

Overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

They are not rulers whose positions are so precarious that they need to use a wartime state to stabilize the situation.

The people selected by Hasam may not be able to govern the country well, but fortunately, Hasam only seeks to avoid mistakes rather than to achieve credit. As long as he does a good job of stabilizing the country, the rest can be taken care of slowly, rather than falling into the abyss pockets of those rentiers bit by bit, slowly but endlessly.

After all, the original rulers were all as talented as Amin and Maciel, and they were all talented people who could make a difference on the barren red soil.

Moreover, there were many stupid people and even more bad people. The ground was full of stupid and bad people. Even with the abilities of Hasamu and Carlos, it took them a lot of time to quell the first wave of unrest.

Their revolutionary friendship was mainly established during that period.

After listening to Hasamu's story and seeing that nothing unexpected happened, Carlos felt relieved.

He and Hasamu parted ways amicably, and he semi-withdrew from the Sword of Damocles organization and devoted himself fully to rebuilding order in his own country.

He did not dare to directly copy Afei's approach, but chose a more prudent way to gradually recruit new talents, change people's mindsets, let them see hope, and understand that they did not necessarily have to rely on guns and drugs to bring in profits.

Give those people one more choice and no longer be forced into an endless cycle.

"Did you come to see me on purpose?" After they had finished chatting, Carlos asked Hasamu why he came.

"Yes." Hasam nodded and glanced at the door. "Do you mind if there's one more person? He's my friend from the Heavenly Node."

Carlos followed Hasamu's gaze and saw a man wearing standard divine warlock robes.

"Since it's your friend, it's fine."

"Thank you." Hasamu smiled and waved to Louis at the door.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Carlos. I'm Luis, you can call me Painter. I'm the representative of the Heavenly Node in Japan. I saw you from afar during the First World War in Tokyo."

Louis brought a glass of ice water from the bar, shook hands with Carlos, and sat down.

"I know, Hasamu introduced you to me." Carlos was telling the truth. Hasamu was naturally the person who had told him about the Paradise Node.

"The reason I came to see you today is mainly related to Hedwig of the Heavenly Node. Do you know her? She has been trying to create a panacea that can cure all diseases."

As Hasamu spoke, he took out his phone and placed it on the table. He opened the chat history with Hedwig and moved the phone over. "That's why she asked me to find you. It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for a long time. I knew you would be staying in Japan for a while, so I volunteered to be your lobbyist."

Louis listened to Hasamu and didn't say much, just looked at the two of them quietly. Carlos looked at the phone and saw Hedwig explaining the whole story to Hasamu, and nodded slightly.

If it was for the purpose of saving people, he didn't mind a little blood material, and since the other party was from the Heaven Node, he didn't worry that the material would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives.

"She... guessed it right. My ability does have some... um, relationship with life force."

Hasamu knew something about Carlos' abilities, but not much, and he had never asked about them.

There are some relevant records in the Heaven Node, but he didn't read them.

【Flesh Furnace】

When the energy of flesh and blood is sufficient, even galaxies can be crossed.

And the source of flesh and blood...

The blood and flesh energy level of livestock cannot compare to that of intelligent life forms such as humans. When in the Kingdom of David, the murderous Carlos devoured a lot of them.

In the days that followed when he fought alongside Hasamu, he tried his best to control himself from devouring humans.

However, this ability of his can also condense a ball of wriggling flesh and blood energy, acting as a backup battery for himself.

It's not that they haven't tried feeding it to other lives, but the result is that even humans can't bear it. Those who are lucky will explode directly, and those who are unlucky will lose their sanity and human body, and turn into a ball of torn meat filled with violent murderous intent.

Seeing that Carlos had no objection, Luis took out the extraordinary blood collection equipment he had prepared and began to draw blood from Carlos.

"This thing is the flesh and blood energy that I condensed using my abilities. But it is very dangerous. You absolutely cannot..."

After drawing several samples of blood, Carlos took out three energy balls, handed them to Hasamu carefully, and explained the risks of leakage.

Louis looked at the pieces of flesh and blood with great interest. He took out a few transparent containers and carefully put in the flesh and blood balls that seemed to be wriggling and occasionally extending many tentacles.

He had a hunch that this was absolutely an excellent supernatural material. Even if it could not help Hedwig save Gu Er, it would be an existence that was no weaker than holy water.

He is...very interested.

Louis put the things away, his expression unchanged.

"Here, cheers."

Seeing that Hedwig's commission had been completed in excess, Hasamud felt relieved and raised the wine glass in his hand high.

Carlos glanced at Luis and raised the milk in his hand.

Louis held up the ice water.

Hasam laughed a few times, not caring what the people at the table were drinking, and drank it all in one gulp.

"I've picked up bad habits with those people over the years, and I find that sometimes drinking a few more glasses and getting drunk is pretty fun."

Hasam is not omnipotent. Many of the people he trained died in the turmoil, and most of them died tragically. He cannot be emotionless.

Carlos knew that Hasamu was thinking of something, so he patted him on the shoulder and waved his hand, asking the bartender who was far away and didn't dare to come closer to fill Hasamu's glass.

The amber whiskey filled the glass. This time, Hasam did not drink it all at once. Instead, he clinked his glass with Carlos' milk, then with Luis's, before taking a sip.

"It's just that the wine nowadays is not good for getting drunk. Once we superhumans are prepared, it will be even harder for us to get drunk..."

Hasam didn't notice that Louis' eyes slowly brightened.

"I know that some people in the fox tribe are good at brewing wine. I can even feel a little drunk just by drinking it..."

Louis was too embarrassed to say that he had been drunk and had blacked out.

Hasam was very happy to hear this and asked Louis to see if he could find a way to buy some back.

"Okay. Hedwig's experiment may not progress that fast. I'll give her the materials first and bring them to you when I come back." Louis made a promise and stood up to say goodbye to them.

Now that the things were in hand, and Hedwig was still eagerly waiting, he would not delay deliberately.

"Slow down, and say hello to Dr. Hedwig with us."

“She is welcome to visit Morelia anytime, her fast-healing medicine has helped many people in our country.”

Louis took the materials and boarded the helicopter prepared in advance by the Special Affairs Bureau and quickly headed towards Aokigahara.

"You said that this is an item that Carlos created by condensing the vitality of flesh and blood... It is indeed full of vitality, and because of this vitality, this piece of flesh and blood even has instinctive behaviors that are like spiritual intelligence."

Hedwig stared closely at the squirming mass of flesh in the petri dish, feeling the rich vitality emanating from it with excitement in his eyes.

"Yes, Carlos also mentioned that the soul and flesh must not be contaminated by the blood of any living being, otherwise the soul and flesh will automatically start replicating DNA according to the blood of the living being and give birth to a preliminary soul and intelligence..."

"After several experiments by Carlos, as long as the spirit is given enough flesh and blood to devour, it will slowly awaken more wisdom and imitate the behavior of the mother body until..."

Louis paused slightly.

"Instead."

Hedwig knew what this meant.

"Method of reproduction?"

If they can't reproduce, then this isn't really that serious.

"It can split on its own. If it has enough flesh and blood, it can split multiple times to build a pyramid-like spiritual and physical structure. Each one can split a limited number of times, and it cannot devour the DNA of the same person, otherwise the two will fight to the death, and one must replace the other."

Hedwig looked more cautious.

The consequences are indeed serious.

If there were no extraordinary people in this world, once this stuff spread, slowly a community... an entire city would be completely destroyed.

Humanity will be completely destroyed by this thing, which is even more terrifying than the zombie virus that was once humanity’s nightmare.

"Since it is a pyramid structure, can Carlos, as the source, manipulate the split body?"

"That's the crux of the matter. It can't." Louis shook his head. "This energy and flesh are very pure. It will replicate the DNA of whoever it touches, and will destroy the original DNA human at all costs. In other words, the source can only be the spiritual and flesh mother."

Hedwig pursed his lips, frowned, and continued to stare at the squirming, seemingly harmless little ball of flesh.

I didn't expect that just a few of these four-happiness meatballs, if thrown randomly, could potentially destroy humanity.
