Legend of the Elven Investigator

Chapter 52 Conjecture



……

Saying goodbye in a hurry, Dr. Yamanashi is continuing his work in the treatment room.

The fungus-like biological samples obtained from the vegetable seeds have been transmitted to the headquarters of the Elven Alliance on Lily of the Valley through the communication transmission device. Many scholars there are assisting in the detection and research. It is hoped that with the efforts of everyone, they can cast a wide net to catch big fish, in order to obtain a major breakthrough.

Shinpei carefully recalled the battle that just happened. The weird creep polymer felt very strange. He asked Yumi and the captain Zheming who assisted outside the field.

Almost everyone’s feedback has something in common: the first time they see the target, they naturally have a heartfelt aversion to it.It seems that there is a voice in my heart, which has been influencing people's will, either fleeing from it or destroying it.

It is a kind of life's deep aversion to parasites. This kind of evil creature obtains nutrients through the body of the parasitic host, and then achieves the purpose of controlling the host and assimilating the host.From a wider point of view, because of its difficult characteristics and extremely convenient transmission method, this is simply a genocidal weapon against flesh and blood life!
If it spreads, I'm afraid that all flesh and blood creatures in this world will become extinct, leaving only ghost and steel elves without flesh and blood.

For Shinpei, this kind of creature looks familiar.After thinking about it, it seems that a strange creature called the snake caterpillar fungus in the original world has the peculiar ability of parasitic ants.

Cordyceps fungus infiltrated the ants through spores, and the brains of the zombie ants it manipulated were not corroded by the fungus.The fungus achieves its goals only by manipulating the movements of the ant's body.In other words, the host ant is like a driver trapped in the driver's seat, and the fungus takes control of the wheels of the car!

With inspiration, Zhenping quickly combined a special elf in the elf world for association!
A special existence called Paitras!

This kind of elf also has similar characteristics. Before evolution, Pylas is a crab-like elf with mushrooms on its back, and the mushrooms behind it will become bigger and bigger through continuous growth. According to some scholars' research, the mushrooms and the body behind it are not a symbiotic relationship similar to the seeds on the back of the frog seed, but an extremely vile and despicable parasitic relationship!

The mushrooms on Pythras' back will evolve into Pythras when they grow to a certain extent, and the mushrooms on Pythras' back are even more exaggerated, some even bigger than the main body.What's interesting is that the host's crab-like body will shrink more and more, and even the eyes will become white with holes!

Of course, these are just some speculations of a boring researcher. Due to his poor resistance to the dual attributes of Cordyceps, Paitras is extremely weak in combat ability, and he is rarely understood by trainers because of his unattractive appearance.It can be regarded as an extremely unpopular elf, and few people even know it except some trainers.Therefore, Dr. Yamanashi did not associate with it.

Faintly feel that my thoughts seem to have a potential connection with the truth hidden behind.After thinking about it for a while, Shinpei decided to share his conjecture with Dr. Yamanashi. After all, this is related to the life and death of a very prestigious gym master.

After knocking softly on the door of the treatment room a few times, Dr. Yamanashi's assistant finally came to open the door.

"Who interrupted my observation of the experiment? I don't know that I'm busy now, am I at a critical moment?" Dr. Yamanashi leaned over in front of the microscope and said in a bad tone. The researcher as an assistant immediately came to the isolation door and saw who was coming through the glass layer.

"Doctor, why don't you take a look..."

Dr. Yamanashi turned his head extremely displeased, but found that it was Shinpei who had just given the illustrated book.

"Doctor, I have some ideas and want to discuss the possibility with you..."

Shinpei lowered his head and said sincerely.Explain your guesses and logical thinking clearly and quickly.With Dr. Yamanashi's IQ, he doesn't need any extra explanations and explanations from himself. What he lacks is a brand new way of thinking.

Dr. Yamanashi, who was suffering from no direction, didn't care about Shinpei, a layman's finger pointing, and pretended to be listening very seriously.Shinpei has already surprised himself once, so he may not come up with surprising ideas again.

Maybe it can help me get out of my original way of thinking.

"I think this kind of creepy creature with weird characteristics may be related to an elf named Petras in Kanto, and their parasitic characteristics have a very large overlap."

Shinpei didn't babble, but directly expressed his own point of view.

As expected, just as Shinpei's words fell into the ears of the doctor, Dr. Yamanashi's gloomy eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had figured out the key point.

"Yeah, I've fallen into a misunderstanding. The creep monster may not be unconnected with the known elves in this world. The parasite is not some kind of toxin, nor is it some kind of life beyond imagination, but may be some variant of elves!
Maybe it has nothing to do with Palast, but this is also a way of thinking.

The admiration in Dr. Yamanashi's eyes became stronger, and he patted Shinpei's shoulder with a gentle expression, feeling more and more that his illustrated book had not been entrusted to the wrong person.

After offering a little advice, Zhen Ping respectfully retreated again, and he would not be able to intervene in the next academic research.

Just relying on this, his weight in Dr. Yamanashi's heart will increase again, which is the purpose of Shinpei.This world is not the Two-dimensional world in anime. Only when you show more value will you get more attention and resources. This is the same truth!
On the other side, Dr. Yamanashi dialed the telephone number of the research institute far away in Zhensha Town, and quickly communicated with the assistant who stayed at the research institute to look after the house.

"I remember that there should be a small Petras community in the fruit forest on the mountain behind the research institute. It was an experimental observation sample given to me by Dr. Oki in Kanto. Now you send a Petras and Pyras to me immediately. I need to use it." Dr. Yamanashi quickly finished his explanation, and the assistant on the other end of the phone quickly found the elf ball that belonged to Petras.

Not long after, the assistant took the two elves needed by Dr. Yamanashi back into the poke ball, and sent them to Dr. Yamanashi through the institute's elf transmission device.

Accompanied by a flash of electricity, the Poke Ball of the research institute has been sent to the transmission device in EMI City.

Dr. Yamanashi carefully brought the two poke balls to the isolation room, and released the pokemon inside under the guard of Geng Gui.

A Petras with a mushroom on its back and two ferocious pincers appeared on the floor of the isolation room.Beside it, Pythras, who was much smaller and more spiritual, was a little afraid of this strange environment, and immediately buried his head beside Pythras.

"You don't have to be afraid, I just need a little sample of the mushroom on your back." Dr. Yamanashi bent down and squatted on the ground, comforting the two timid elves in a soft voice.

While Petras is likely to have a relationship with the creep creatures, he is unafraid of the risks involved with a pure-hearted pixie.

The two elves nodded, and cooperatively took the sample from the mushroom behind them.

Dr. Yamanashi narrowed his eyes slightly. During his observation, Pyras directly took off a whole mushroom behind his back. His eyes were bright and intelligent, obviously showing no resistance or pain.But Petras is completely different. When some of its mushrooms were removed, its body was obviously shaking with pain. Contrary to this, its eyes were still pale, without any reaction or fluctuation.

"Could it be that after the evolution is complete, the consciousness of Pyras will be replaced by the parasitic mushrooms behind it? It's a strange way of evolution, let's use the observation results to prove everything." Dr. Yamanashi sighed. Even he didn't know much about this kind of elf. At this moment, due to the instinctive consciousness that he has cultivated over the years, he knows that the rumors may confirm part of the truth.

Under the microscope, Dr. Yamanashi placed the skin samples obtained from the vegetable seeds and the tissue samples just obtained from Petras.

"Judging from the appearance of the basic cells, the two are very similar, but the skin cells on the vegetable seed have some characteristics of human cells after being infected with the creep, so is there a difference?" Dr. Yamanashi looked solemn, and randomly removed a small piece of cell tissue from the skin sample.

He manipulated the instrument and placed the infected cells on slides of Petras mushroom tissue.

What shocked him happened. Some of the substances in the vegetable seed's infected cells seemed to be summoned, and some tiny tentacles quickly split out of the vegetable seed cells.

These small tentacles grabbed Petras' mushroom tissue, easily invaded it, and even infected all the cells.

"These Petras-infected cells seem to be closer to their original appearance. This kind of infectivity and aggression, what substance can transform the Petras cells into such a terrifying appearance?"

The Patras tissue cells have already completed their dissimilation in a short period of time. The original cells transformed from a calm state into a very expansive posture, splitting into countless tiny tentacles, trying to explore the situation on the glass slide.

Apparently, the Patras cells were also victims, some unknown thing took advantage of the parasitic characteristics of this host, alienated and twisted into a deformed monster like a creep.
