The vague consciousness gradually became clear, like waking up from a long sleep.

Kino opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of a huge crystal. The crystal reflected everything like a mirror. He silently looked at himself in the reflection and blinked suddenly.

There seemed to be something in the darkest depths of those amber eyes.

Without any warning, as a terrifying scream came from inside the skull, a grotesque and abominable beast's mouth rushed out from the deepest part of the pupil. In an instant, it became as huge as the sky and the earth, and one could even clearly see the sticky substance attached to the fangs.

saliva.

"Pfft——" The moment Kino was bitten by the beast, the scene in front of him was filled with endless scarlet.

Kino blinked and found that he was still standing on the same spot. The huge crystal and the inexplicable beast's mouth that appeared in the pupils had disappeared, like a fleeting hallucination.

Even though the hallucination had disappeared, his vision was still scarlet. Kino raised his head and looked at the sky, only to see that the entire sky was shrouded in red. There were no large celestial bodies on the ceiling, only stars hanging there.

Just when Kino was staring at the stars, a sudden change occurred, and the stars in the sky suddenly turned into pairs of eyes, staring at him ferociously from all directions.

Immediately afterwards, a huge twisted black shadow rose at the end of the horizon, with indescribable outlines intertwined and intertwined. Countless malicious and crazy murmurs rushed into the mind, and two scarlet colors suddenly burst out, like two eyes growing out of the black shadow.

He looked directly at Kino.

"Don't touch the truth, arrogance."

...

Kino opened his eyes again, this time he really opened his eyes and woke up from the weird dream just now.

He was leaning on the recliner in a separate space. The little black cat was sleeping soundly on his belly. There was also a small band-aid on the cat's paw. It was obvious that a tube of blood had been drawn not long ago.

Soon after, Kino brought his people back from the ancient temple and reported the situation of "encountering a sneak attack and being forced to fight back". The accompanying people did not find anything strange at the scene. This was just a big thunder and a small rain.

Put it on hold.

Of course, as the only person who intercepted some blood residue at the scene, Chino's research did not stop. He was very interested in the characteristics of this blood and immediately sent it to the laboratory in an independent space and handed it over to the laboratory.

Zero analysis.

There are three types of blood currently being tested:

Test tube No. 1 - blood containing animal transformation factors extracted from Han Yi's body.

Test Tube No. 2 - Bought from the Scarlet Church, purifying blood that can cure the disease of lycanthropy.

Test tube No. 3 - Unknown blood collected from the ancient temple in the far north.

Hanyi is an infected person of the lycanthropy disease, and needs to use purified blood for blood therapy regularly to suppress the lycanthropic factors in the body. If the blood collected in the ancient temple can be produced with Hanyi's blood, or with the purified blood

If there is a certain effect, then the whole thing may be very intriguing.

Time passed slowly. As the analysis data was comprehensively summarized, the laboratory instrument stopped working, and No. 0's unique steady tone came: "The data analysis has been completed. After comparison, the blood in test tube No. 1 contains a large number of human genes.

As well as a small number of feline genes, animal gene fragments have been inserted into human gene sequences, and their impact cannot be assessed for the time being."

Kino didn't expect Zero to directly figure out the principle of the zoomorphic epidemic. It was already very good that it could analyze the laboratory data. He continued to ask: "Where are test tubes No. 2 and No. 3?"

A big red cross appeared on the screen, and the voice of No. 0 sounded: "I compared test tubes No. 2 and No. 3 with the DNA of the entire biobank, but I couldn't form any correlation, and there were even very few similar fragments. This

Both bloods do not belong to any known creature."

"Among them, the blood in test tube No. 2 is mixed with a large amount of inorganic elements, and is suspected to be a post-processed product. It can have a chemical effect with the blood in test tube No. 1, suppressing the expression of animal genes and delaying its protein synthesis without affecting the overall activity.

."

It is known information that the purifying blood can suppress the animal transformation factor. The key lies in test tube No. 3. Kino played with the silver moon in his hand and asked: "Where is the blood in test tube No. 3? Is there any similarity with test tube No. 2?"

Where?"

No. 0: "The blood in test tube No. 3 has a large number of similar genetic fragments to test tube No. 2 - it is extremely likely to belong to the same organism."

"Ding." When Zero's words came, Kino's hand stagnated in the air, and the falling silver moon also fell to the ground, making an icy collision sound.

Kino's pupils were as dark as abyss, almost dilated to the entire iris. He froze there like a statue for a long time, and finally reached out to pick up the silver moon on the ground. His voice was filled with an unspeakable sense of danger: "Finally I caught you.

Already."

Kino continued to play with Silver Moon and asked, "What else was analyzed from the blood in test tube No. 3?"

A large number of disassembly diagrams and data appeared on the screen. Zero News reported: "The blood in test tube No. 3 can greatly enhance cell activity and extend the length of telomeres. Human aging is caused by the shortening of telomeres.

When telomeres become longer, aging and cell death of an individual slows down."

Kino narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean, injecting this kind of blood can lead to immortality?"

Zero: "Theoretically, yes. Not only can the host extend its lifespan, but if the body is traumatized, this blood can also stimulate cell activity and greatly increase the regeneration rate."

The effect mentioned by No. 0 is completely consistent with what the leader of the Six Kings survivors said and what Solandel experienced.

The "purifying blood" used by the Scarlet Church to treat the lycanthropy disease, and the blood injected by the saber-toothed tiger tribe warriors to gain super-speed regeneration power, can be determined to come from the same creature.

The only question now is, what is this creature? Where is it?

Zero continued to report: "Although this kind of blood has unique effects, once the human body is directly injected with this kind of blood, other uncontrollable phenomena will occur."

"In the experiment, although the cells mixed with the blood of test tube No. 3 showed super activity and telomere extension, this blood has some kind of phagocytosis. It will engulf normal cells, digest the cytoplasm, and mix with the cell nuclei.

Combine and regenerate a new type of cell."

"This newly generated cell is very dangerous. It is aggressive to the host's native cells. The host must eat a large amount of protein regularly to ensure that its own native cells are not destroyed."

"The amount of food required to maintain this state is very large. Converting cells into macroscopic substances, the host needs to eat at least one-third of its own body weight in meat every day. If you stop eating, the No. 3 Test Tube Blood Institute

The foreign cells brought will begin to engulf the native cells and may eventually cause the host body to dissolve."

Upon hearing about the need for constant eating, Kino caught the silver moon thrown into the air, leaned on the recliner and stared at the silver coins in his hand. After a long silence, he murmured two words to himself:

"Gluttony..."
