Chapter 106: Chapter 106: Parasitic Body and Diary
Translator: 549690339
“Time rewinds to one hour ago”
At Bella’s house.
Born in the countryside, Chen Li, who stopped attending school at a young age, was quite proficient in farming and needlework.
After picking out dead parasites one by one with a needleand thread, she sewed up the wounds for Han Dong… If it weren’t for Han Dong removing his head, he would have been screaming in pain.
After everything was done.
Whoosh!
Han Dong entered the “Portable Prison”, headed straight for the biological laboratory.
First, he injected the collected cell essence from the metal syringe into the white mucus… no, it should be into the “Cell Clump”.
“Cell essence successfully injected, ‘Load Limit’ increased by 5 points (parasitic body sample), current individual load value is: 122/162.”
Having an increase of 5 points to the upper limit value, Han Dong was already very satisfied.
“Still lacking 10 points, and I can try to expand the prison! I must complete the expansion of the prison before the end of this fate event…
After the essence was injected, Han Dong turned to the “testing table”.
The same one he used before to test the Ghoul arm.
Han Dong wanted to test the “Perfect Parasite (a Rare Living Item)”, a low-probability reward he had received in the “Parasitic Campus” event.
The core entity of Bella.
Due to the lack of water, this perfect parasite was also curled up into a ball.
From the exterior, it actually looks similar to a common parasite.
Click on the scan button.
“Scan is starting…Huh!? What kind of technology is this?”
The originally elongated scanner, amazingly adapts to the small ‘parasite’ and undergoes a morphological change.
‘Hollow canister’ shape, which just fits the size of the parasite.
About five minutes later, a paper report is generated.
“Parasitic Mutation (Water Series)”
Quality: Excellent
Load: 27 points.
Attachment Method: ‘Parasitism’ – Can parasitize the brain and change the entire body; or parasitize a certain part and locally modify it.
(It is suggested to carry out a non-brain local variation, ‘Parasitic Mutation (Water Series)’ and ‘Faceless Skull’ are not compatible, and it has low growth, not conducive to the subsequent evolution of the skull.)
Special Traits:
‘Hydrophilic’- The parasitized area will have small gill openings, providing underwater breathing capabilities. The gill openings can also act as inlets to quickly replenish water to the body.
‘Parasitic Mutation’ – Structural changes will occur, boosting various functions and possessing the ability to ‘adapt to combat’.
(Adapt to combat: when the host body is attacked, the parasite inside the body makes a corresponding ‘stress behavior’ , making optimized attacks and defense actions.)
‘Reproduction’ – It can reproduce offspring, invade ordinary mammalian bodies, form offspring hosts, and be controlled by the main body (The maximum number of offspring is 50. Each additional offspring host will consume some of the main body’s energy).
Notes:
This parasitic mutation has reached the maximum growth state and cannot continue to improve its quality.
The ‘Parasitic Mutation (Water Series)” needs to regularly supplement a large amount of water. Once the water deficiency drops below 30%, it will not be able to exert its relevant abilities.
It should be noted that.
The quality of both this parasite and the Ghoul arm is ‘excellent’.
Although the parasite has more variations.
Han Dong can embed it in his legs to enhance running, jumping, kicking, and other leg capabilities according to his own needs.
It can also be embedded in his left arm to further enhance upper body combat capabilities.
It could even be attached to the body trunk to enhance defense and regenerative abilities.
However… it has a fundamental difference from the Ghoul arm.
That is ‘growth potential’.
The parasite has developed into its complete form and cannot be improved.
Yet, the Ghoul arm still has great potential, as mentioned in the comments, “The arm can be upgraded homogeneously- modification, virus injection, secret method strengthening, etc., can all enhance the quality of the arm and give it additional properties.”
Han Dong values late development even more.
“If I install such a parasite, will I be able to remove it in the future?” A sound of related answers is immediately heard in the lab:
“For the ‘limbs’ that have been equipped (including any items occupying the load value), if you try to remove them, it will require a ‘forced removal’ process. This process will cause removal damage, losing 50% of the original equipped load value.”
Han Dong can only sigh helplessly.
The proposal to reduce the upper load limit, he would never consider it. The original plan to use the parasite temporarily in this event has to be abandoned.
“If the parasites are introduced into ordinary people, will they swallow the consciousness and memory of the host and replace it with Bella’s memory?” “During the extraction of the parasite, the original host’s brain and its memory system were detected to be destroyed.
If it parasitizes an ordinary person, it will form a kind of unconscious life form with aggressiveness and a strong propensity to reproduce.”
“Is there a way to restore it?”
“According to the origin of this parasite, if you want to repair the damage on the brain level, you need to take it back to its birthplace.”
“Birthplace?”
Returning to the world of [The Return of the Clown (Surface Chapter)].
Han Dong sat at his desk, staring at the water-soaked diary.
Han Dong did not intend to directly upload it to the auxiliary system.
For evidences that have direct written records, Han Dong planned to analyze them first with his own thought patterns.
He’ll upload all the evidence to the auxiliary system after gathering with Cass and the others, and discuss it together.
Diary owner: Clark Bella (Derry Town Basic Middle School, eighth-grade student)
While reading, Han Dong’s expression and eyes changed many times, seemingly touched by some things recorded in the diary.
The diary records the whole process of Bella’s transformation from human to parasitic entity.
After quickly skimming through Bella’s experiences as a human being, Han Dong flipped to the key point of Bella’s ‘mutation’.
Plain looking Bella, due to some cleanliness issues, her fondness for drinking water, was somewhat bullied in school… which caused her grades to plummet and she was increasingly ignored by teachers.
About three months ago.
Bella was subjected to an overbearing prank. Her water bottle was hidden by classmates!
The water dispenser was also blocked by students who targeted her, not allowing her to get water to drink.
Thirst and a near-disease desire to drink water induced Bella to run around the school.
Coincidentally, the school was completely out of water… Bella, who ran all the way to the bathroom, couldn’t find a water source either.
Just when her emotions erupted, and she was on the verge of collapse.
She accidentally found the entrance to a mysterious sewer in a corner of the school, possibly hallucinated due to extreme thirst.
She heard someone calling her name from the sewer.
Moreover, the very clear sound of dripping water from inside the sewer, prompted her to crawl into the sewer due to her thirst.
At this point, the diary is interrupted for an entire week.
The next entry in the diary begins to formally record Bella’s mutated life..
