Chapter 2424 (1/2)
Hearing the name of the shadow of childhood, Dr. Maya had a wry smile on her face. She nodded:
”who hasn't heard of it? When I was a child, my mother always told me that if I didn't eat well, didn't sleep on time, or didn't listen to her, the death knell would come out of the darkness under the bed and drag me into a hell full of Soviet people. I heard that some people had seen the death knell in the Zerg invasion of New York a few days ago, but they were later refuted, saying that they had hallucinations due to excessive mental stress? ”
The version of the story Maya had heard was obviously improved during the cold war. The City Legend of the early death knell was not like this, and the words of scaring children also kept pace with the times.
As for the witness of the New York war, Frey sent people to cover up, of course he knew.
”In fact, the death knell really exists. He had contact with SSR, the predecessor of aegis, during World War II. He also abducted Dr. Erskine, which made the military have to publicize the disappearance of Dr. Erskine. He still appears from time to time today and does something.”
The director nodded. No matter how hot it was, Maya didn't know the truth of the death knell.
If the doctor knows that the death knell exists and that he is a man, not a devil, then there is a problem.
”Well, why don't you arrest him?” The doctor blinked his eyes. The aegis bureau should have a strong power?
He was abducted by the aegis team from a university in Mississippi, and no one has been able to call the police or do anything else. You can imagine how wide the tentacles of its power spread.
Good question! Stewed egg bowed his head and rolled his eyes. Could he say it was because he couldn't beat it?
Of course not. The image of aegis can't be associated with the loser, so naturally there is another saying: ”because he helped Captain America and Sergeant Bucky fight Nazi, and saved the captain's life, we are even.”
”Well, but what does this living asphalt creature have to do with the death knell Maya is still more concerned about exotic soft creatures, and lacks interest in the death knell.
Frey Barry couldn't get back on track.
”This kind of soft alien is called symbiosis, which can parasitize human beings or other organisms and form a symbiotic relationship. There is also a death knell. We suspect that it gives the knell extraordinary strength and long life. Because no one has seen the real appearance of the bell, we are not sure whether he has signs of aging... At least from the point of view of starting, he is not only not getting old, but also getting stronger and stronger. ”
After hearing about immortality, Maya became interested. Her ultimate pursuit of studying biology is to help people break through the life limit.
When she looked at the symbiont again, her eyes seemed to give out light.
The symbiont in the jar, of course, also responded. It produced countless small hands, clenched fists, and raised a finger toward the doctor, just like a small piece of black jungle.
”Why is it like this? I'm not sure if it understands the culture of the earth. Maybe it's saying hello to us
The doctor asked the director with some doubts, and at the same time, he put up his middle finger to the jar as a response.
”It will read the host's memory, personality, hobbies, and thus continue to evolve.” Frey took his arm and watched coldly: ”it's from an alien planet. When we caught it, it was attached to a tramp. Its host begged along the street, while New Yorkers were always in a hurry and indifferent. Every time people passed by without saying a word, the tramp would greet them with this gesture behind the pedestrians
”Well, it doesn't sound like it's learning anything good.” Dr. Hansen took a breath.
”Yes, if you provide him with a voice host, such as a parrot, it will say all kinds of street slang, so filthy that I suspect that I am learning fake English, because I even need to check some words on the Internet.”
Marinated egg told a cold joke, but his face still had no expression. Since he knew his wife was a nine headed snake spy, he had not laughed for decades.
”Ha ha.” The doctor laughed awkwardly but politely, looking at the greasy symbiosis under the strong light: ”did it say its own name?”
”A symbiont has no name. Only when it parasitizes the host does it have a name for its combination with the organism.”
The cunning Frey said some of the information that can be shared. He looked at the monster with alert eyes and continued:
”it claimed to be venom, but when it devoured the host, I didn't see it use any poisonous ability. It just opened its fangs and big mouth, ate itself like a snake, then turned inside and outside, turned into a pool of mucus, and the host died It's gone. It's like the pigeon magic in Las Vegas. ”
Although a biologist, Maya, who is not too crazy, is stunned for a moment. Her face becomes dignified. She takes a few steps back and opens a distance from the jar.
I thought the symbiont might be a cute little animal, like a starfish or a slug, but I didn't expect it was a hostile species.
