Chapter 513 The Truth of the Mutation Disaster (1/2)
Bennett's eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed.
”However, I will take time, and I need to invite others over. We can only take things slowly,” Han Xiao said. ”I have investigated the truth of the virus and its theory.
”While you guys call it a virus, its official name is the Mutation Source. It is a special biological weapon and is extremely rare. The reason for it being on Planet Aquamarine is that someone intentionally placed the Mutation Source on the planet.”
As these words were said, Bennett was startled.
The Mutation Disaster was actually created by men!
It was unbelievable!
Just what kind of an organization would want to do such a thing to Planet Aquamarine? With such strength, they must definitely be a powerful organization in the galaxy, and Planet Aquamarine was no more than a backward planet to them. Why must they place such a biological weapon on the planet?
”I know what all your doubts are, and the reason behind it is pretty complicated. It's impossible to explain the reason in a few sentences. You only need to know that Planet Aquamarine has become an innocent chess piece between the battle of two galactic organizations.”
Han Xiao then paused for a while and allowed Bennett and the others present to absorb that information fully before continuing.
”I know that the appearance of the mutation virus has led all of you to believe that the mutation source works in the minds of the individuals. All of you are completely wrong. The Mutation Source isn't an ordinary virus—it has a consciousness. It can even be considered a special life form that has only one ability: to influence microorganisms.”
”Microorganisms?” Bennett was stunned for a moment. Han Xiao's explanation of the mutation virus was truly out of his expectations. All of the infected individuals showed a change in their personalities and actions, but it was actually unrelated to their minds‽
Han Xiao pondered for a moment before asking, ”When you want to eat, are you the one who wants to eat, or is it your body that wants to eat?”
”It should be my body. Why would I eat if it isn't hungry?” Bennett then fell into a short daze and seemed to have understood something.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
”This is the logic. Often, the source of your thoughts is actually the needs of your body, not what you want. It is the microorganisms in your body telling you what they want. The microorganisms in your body perform certain actions to send out hormones, and your brain receives the signal. This is where the desire to eat, breathe, and all other basic desires come from.
”You think that your thoughts are controlling your body but many times, it is the microorganisms in your body that is controlling your thoughts.
”Many physiology conflicts that happen in our body is due to the conflict between the needs of microorganisms and bacteria in our body. The health of one's body is also dependent on the reaction of the bacteria in our body. If they are alright, then our bodies will be alright. However, microorganisms do not have any consciousness. Our actions will also influence the microorganisms. We can choose to suppress the desires of our body and end up being unhealthy. While we seem to be an individual, we are actually a complete system.
”The Mutation Source controls the microorganisms in our body, thus controlling our basic desires. It secretes dozens of times the normal amount of enzymes to give our brain an intense stimulus. It is completely unrelated to our thoughts and isn't able to control our thoughts. However, it can influence us on a biological level by using the desire to destroy, sexual desire, hunger, grief, and many other emotions to direct our thoughts and cause a huge change in personality. You may even end up thinking that these thoughts belong to you as you are still your ordinary self during the outbreak of the virus.
”The reason that the virus can't be detected from the infected individual is because the virus doesn't exist! The so called 'virus' is the microorganisms that are necessary for one's survival!”
Han Xiao understood the Mutation Source. After all, he had gone through this mission in his previous life and had a deep impression of the event. At his current level, his consciousness could already exist independently, but the organs that were used to control his consciousness would be affected. What if he wanted to be immune to the Mutation Source? Very simple. He just had to transfer his consciousness into a machine and give up his body and senses. With his consciousness being separated and living in the brain of a machine, it would be impossible for the machine to be affected by the Mutation Source.
