Alien Knights

Chapter 142: Tesla parasite

Seeing Cumberland's departure, Todd felt the burden on his shoulders heavier and heavier.

Trying to take the people around him to live together has consumed too much energy. If it is a country, if he wants to maintain a country, he doesn't know if he can do it.

Throwing away the distracting thoughts in his mind for a while, Todd walked out of the headquarters of the Knights and came to the street outside the door. Looking at the bustling crowd, he put down his robe and hood and went to the sister hotel for dinner.

Rachel spends most of his time and energy in the biochemical factory, and rarely cares about the hotel business anymore, so the usual manager here has become Karin Forman.

The girl who was originally a circus star has long lost the childishness of the past. Abandoning the playfulness and willfulness, Karin directs Pamela and several other alien girls to serve dishes, clean up, close the stage, register... The entire hotel is managed in an orderly manner.

Todd looked at the others in the hotel. Most of the customers were admiring diners or wealthy residents of the small town. To his surprise, he saw the electromagnetic girl Cosette hiding behind the bar, bewildered.

Compared with the first face in the cave, Cosette had cut off her messy white hair, washed her small face covered with mud, and put on a clean and tidy maid's outfit, due to albinism and a long absence from the sky. In her life, the exposed skin on her whole body is white and dazzling. With her exquisite face and pink pupils, she has become the most eye-catching existence in the entire hotel without any suspense.

Karin, who was so busy, saw that everyone else had things on hand, so he pointed to the barley tea on the tray and asked Cosette to pick it up and give it to the guest. The girl looked at the house full of guests in horror, and shook her head desperately at the agent manager.

Karin pointed at Maicha again, with an anxious look, and urged Cosette to start work again.

The trembling girl picked up the tea cup, lowered her head, avoiding the eyes of others, running quickly under her feet, and in a panic spilling tea on the table of the guests. Cosette hurriedly wiped the water stains with a dry cloth, but unexpectedly the nervousness caused the blue coil under her skin to become brighter and brighter.

Todd cried out badly.

Accompanied by the crackling electric current, dazzling electric arcs hit the tabletop and diverted to the guests along the overflowing tea.

Screaming, falling to the ground, cracking, and a burst of burnt human flesh, the entire lobby of the sister hotel suddenly became a mess.

Twenty minutes later, the exhausted Karin sat on the bench of the back kitchen, looking up at the sky through the open window, beside her stood a frustrated Cosette.

"You almost killed one of our guests!"

Hearing this accusation, Cosette pressed his head lower.

Todd walked in, smiled at the two girls and said, "The guest is okay."

Karin got up from the bench and cast a grateful look at him, but Cosette's look at Todd was more complicated.

Karin looked at Cosette and sighed helplessly: "You first burned the bed when you were asleep, and then when you were washing the dishes, you electrocuted Pamela who helped me to death. Today, you almost killed another. Guests."

"I didn't mean it..." Cosette whispered.

Karin turned her head to Todd: "Regarding her ability, we need your help."

Todd looked at the blue coil under the skin of the albino girl and touched her nose with a headache: "To be honest, this kind of power is very dangerous, and I don't know how to deal with it."

Seeing Cosette lowering his head again, Todd replied with a bit of irritation: "But maybe you can try."

Todd's experimental building, cleaned the instruments and ** tanks on the experimental table, and put the table together into a temporary operating table.

Rachel, Karin, and Pamela stood by, watching Cosette, who was nervous on the operating table, and they spoke to comfort her that everything would be fine.

Todd put on a mask, put on cotton gloves, adjusted the concentration of ether, walked to Cosette, and said to her: "Wait a moment, I will give you general anesthesia, and you will lose consciousness briefly within three hours. During this period of time, I will use minimally invasive surgery to extract part of your body’s power generating coils to find a way to control your abilities."

"I ask you, are you ready now?" Todd looked at Cosette's eyes and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's just a minor operation, there will be no danger."

Cosette turned his head and cast his gaze to Rachel.

The woman nodded lightly and gave her an encouraging look.

Cosette took a deep breath and said, "I'm ready."

Todd put the ether-stained cloth on the mouth and nose of the albino girl, and after dozens of seconds, the latter fell asleep. He first nodded towards the three people behind him, then used a sterilized knife to make a small cut in the leg, and finally used sterling silver pointed pliers to try to clamp the foreign body under the skin.

Just when the pliers touched the blue wire, a huge electric current radiated from Cosette’s body, burning Todd’s cotton gloves with a small hole, and burning the stone platform underneath a black Imprint.

Todd had no choice but to use touch first to consume as much electricity as possible in Cosette's body.

After nearly ten minutes of discharging, the color of the blue line under the skin gradually dimmed. Todd tried a few times with pliers, and finally decided to try again.

Another small cut was made and a handful of foreign objects under Cosette's skin were clamped. Todd resisted the high temperature from the clamps and pulled it out desperately. Under the exclamation of people around, a 60 cm long blue nematode was pulled out from under the skin.

Todd threw the worms into the mica culture plate prepared in advance, bandaged Cosette's wound, then slumped on the ground and let out a long sigh of relief.

Handing over the task of taking care of the girl to Rachel, Todd took the parasite that can discharge and plunged into the laboratory.

Through dissecting sections and microscopic observations, Todd discovered a new species of parasite that had never been seen before.

This parasite is divided into four layers in the body structure. The outermost layer is a stratum corneum that can secrete insulating mucus. The second layer from the outside to the inside is the muscle layer, the third layer is the medulla layer, and the innermost layer. It's the nervous system.

The secret of its power generation lies in the third medulla layer. In the parasite's tube, there are a large number of power-generating cells, similar to a small laminated battery, when it is stimulated by the host's nerve signals~www.mtlnovel. com~ can make the electric ions pass through the cell membrane and gather.

There are such cells throughout the parasite, like many stacked batteries. When a current is generated, all these batteries are connected in series, so that a very high voltage is generated between the head and tail of the parasite. Many of these battery packs are connected in parallel, so that a large enough current can be generated outside the body.

In addition, this kind of parasite that can discharge has a more peculiar function of broken body regeneration.

When the parasite is divided into two with a sharp tool, the muscle layer on the cross section will immediately contract, and part of the muscle will quickly dissolve to form a new group of cells. At the same time, the cells will gather on the cut surface to form an embolus and cause wounds. Close quickly.

At the same time, the cells of the nervous system, medullary canal and other tissues in the body can rapidly germinate through a large number of mitosis. In this way, as the cells continue to proliferate, a new head will grow on the section where the head is missing, and a tail will grow on the section where the tail is missing. Such a parasite becomes two complete parasites.

In the end, Todd gave this kind of parasite, which can generate electricity and can regenerate, a weird name Tesla. (https://)
