Mysterious creature sightings

Human lives are at stake, so no matter how big the banquet is, it must be postponed.

In the surprised eyes of Zhuang Mei and Ling Zhicheng, Ling Jiangyue followed Lin Jia into the car wearing a blue dress. The beautiful skirt of her flying skirt shed tiny lights in the air, like an elf on the run.

When the car started, the tires spun and left two black marks on the ground. It sped away in less than 2 minutes, and the roar made people's ears hurt.

The Ling family looked surprised and could not recover.

Only Ling Jiangyu looked back at his parents' expressions, pinched the bridge of his nose, and thought about how to explain to them that his sister was a Marvel employee with superpowers, and now she was also saving people all over the world.

These problems were not Ling Jiangyue's concern. Lin Jia drove the car very hard and sped all the way to the airport. He opened the car door and pulled her directly onto the helicopter.

Because the position was a bit high, it was difficult for her to climb up in a dress with a narrow mouth. Lin Jia got up first, then pulled her up and threw her on top of him, then hugged her waist and swung her to place her in the back seat.

When the helicopter took off, Lin Jia put on headphones for her despite the loud noise, and then she took a deep breath and told her the current situation.

"The wings of the giant butterfly are covered with those floating creatures. In order to save Jiang Yuxing and Xu Jiayan, Brother Lin was surrounded by those things. Now a part of his body is parasitic, and his current condition has begun to deteriorate."

"We can figure out how to get rid of those things, but because they evade imaging and scanners, we can't identify where they are in his body."

Ling Jiangyue understood: "I need help finding out where they are hiding?"

Lin Jia: "Yes! Trouble, Brother Lin is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the special adjustment department. We can't just watch him fall at this level. If it weren't for saving Jiang Yuxing and the others, these things shouldn't be so harmful to him. "

Lin Zheng was vigilant, quick in reaction, and strong in decision-making. In so many dangerous cases before, he had only suffered a few flesh wounds at most, but he didn't expect that those things would parasitize him before he studied them clearly, and they were still invisible and strange species.

Ling Jiangyue understood that after all, among unknown creatures, microorganisms and fungi were the most dangerous. Before, they should have encountered large creatures. With Lin Zheng's skills, those who could fight were not necessarily that threatening. force.

but--

"But I'm not sure if I can see things inside the human body. Although I'm a bit special, I can't compare to a professional imaging machine." She said hesitantly.

Lin Jia understood: "Don't worry, inviting you here is just one of the ways. I don't put all my hope on you. If you really can't see it, it's okay. Just try your best."

Since she had this guarantee, she agreed: "I will try my best."

Lin Jia was able to relax a little and find some energy to say a polite word: "I'm sorry to disturb your family's business. What kind of banquet are you preparing to attend?"

"Yes."

She didn't want to say anything more, so Lin Jia didn't ask. She didn't really like chatting.

This kind of person is so comfortable to get along with. Ling Jiangyue thought for a second: It would be good to let Lin Zheng die gloriously and then let Lin Jia take the lead. She would be closer to him.

But she can only think about it. Lin Zheng is her blank control group and has more research value than anyone else.

The helicopter was about to fly to its destination, and Lin Jia took out an eye mask.

"Sorry, according to the rules of the bureau, you can't see too much. In order to avoid signing a confidentiality agreement and being hypnotized, it's best to wear a blindfold."

The words were pleasing to the ear, and Ling Jiangyue was willing to cooperate. He was led off the helicopter wearing a blindfold and walked into a building.

Listening to the echo of footsteps, this place should be very big, with not many people, but a lot of machines. I guess half of them are monitoring, and the frequency of the laser pulses emitted is very consistent.

Then they entered the elevator...oh, it was going down.

The unique dark wind in the underground base blew her long hair, and she could smell something special from it.It seems that many creatures have been preserved here.

But why didn't they receive her somewhere else?This place is not accessible to ordinary people. If she were really a bad person, she would be able to get a lot of information with her hearing and spread it out.

Most likely, Lin Zheng is dying and there is no way to move, right?
"Ding——" The elevator reached the bottom floor, and everyone in the underground base looked over.

A slender girl in a blue dress walked out of the elevator door. She wore strings of gorgeous jewelry around her neck. When she walked out of the dark place, the jewelry was shining and the person was shining.

It doesn't look like someone who should be here... not necessarily, a bit like a trembling prey kidnapped by a perverted scientist and brought to the laboratory.

In particular, she was wearing an eyepatch, which looked like a fashion item, covering less than half of her delicate V-face.

Ling Jiangyue raised his chin slightly and gently smelled the complex smell here.

Lin Jia suddenly asked: "Are you also very sensitive to smells?"

Very perceptive.She shook her head and said hesitantly: "It doesn't matter. I just think the smell here is a bit pungent and I'm not used to it."

Lin Jia didn't ask any more questions. She led her into a laboratory and took off her blindfold.

Lin Zheng was leaning on the examination chair, facing the laboratory door. When he heard the sound, he woke up reflexively and reluctantly opened his eyes to look over.

The visibility of his eyes was somewhat affected. Under the illumination of the overhead lights, he could only vaguely see the vivid bright blue and the hazy and slender figure, which was the same as the first time he saw it at the police station.

is her.

Ling Jiangyue also saw him. After not seeing him for a few days, he actually looked like he was about to die from a serious illness. His eyes were red and sunken, his lips were dry, and his body was covered with electrodes, like... Like her in the past.

After disinfecting and putting on protective clothing, she took a few steps closer and looked at Lin Zheng in feigned surprise.

"so serious?"

Lin Jia: "Yes, the parasitic infection of this kind of organism is very fast, with an incubation period of one day, followed by deterioration at varying speeds."

Seeing that they were back, Jiang Yuxing quickly reported the situation: "Pheromones are useful! Brother Lin said that he can feel the sore and itchy parts of the body shifting."

Lin Jia: "Are they so sensitive to pheromones?"

Xu Jiayan showed a batch of dead microorganisms: "They don't eat sounds, they eat pheromones. We just discovered that. The batches of experimental colonies that were individually conducted as control experiments ten years after being placed alone in the isolation room. After five hours, all life activities stopped one after another. However, the experimental group that stayed with the giant butterfly was still alive, and had a tendency to build nests close to the corpse of the giant butterfly."

The previous research was finally of substantial help. Based on this phenomenon, the microbiologists invited for support proposed a research topic that already existed in the scientific community——

Perhaps some microorganisms can control the host's social behavior by changing the way the host senses the same type of pheromones.

Xu Jiayan: "In other words, our previous guesses were all wrong. It was this microorganism that controlled the giant butterfly to confuse the prey and then prey on it. So we were able to come back from the Great Rift Valley safely, and only Brother Lin has suffered until now." , considered lucky among the lucky.”

Ling Jiangyue made an expression of sudden realization, looked down at Lin Zheng who couldn't move, and thought, he is indeed lucky.

After all, she was invited.

PS: This conclusion refers to existing research content: On January 2023, 1, researchers such as Dr. Wu Taihong and Dr. Ge Minghai from the team of Professor Yun Zhang from the Department of Evolutionary Biology and Center for Brain Science at Harvard University published an article in Nature magazine Published, a long research article titled Pathogenic bacteria modulate pheromone response to promote mating. This study uses Caenorhabditis elegans as a model animal to reveal the neural mechanism by which pathogenic microorganisms change the social behavior of the host nematode.

(Just take a look, it doesn’t matter much hahahaha)
