Fortunately, I'm a Giant of Light

"And the thing that made it, we also call it... Mitochondrial Eve."

She whispered the information she could tell, don't listen in a generally tactful way:

"Originally, no one cared about this relationship, and didn't think it would change. But no one thought that during the tens of thousands of years of evolution and mutation, there would occasionally be mitochondrial calcium ion release, which would interfere with the human nervous system. And the nervous system The giant mitochondria in the cells even emit nerve impulses that are not... what humans should have. Finally, they awaken their consciousness with the help of the human nervous brain system. That thing in the world depends on the things that are accidentally affected and even ultimately controlled by it. Several humans began its plots and actions."

"Eve's power is unbelievable... It can engrave memories into its genes, so that even if it transforms itself into a host body, it can maintain the memory continuity. It can evolve autonomously by relying on mitochondria... So it quickly mastered the ability to use signals to control almost all animals Mitochondria, make animals go crazy, cause human cells to over-discharge and even spontaneously combust, and even create... new life!"

Rain gurgles outside the car window.

"You need to know why people call mitochondria and cells endosymbiotic. It's because symbiosis is what everyone likes. Would we say that the chickens and ducks we raise are symbiotic with us? No, because we Giving it food is just to make it fat enough to meet people's appetite. Chickens and ducks have since been exempted from the competition for survival due to the strength of human beings, and become a species that reproduces in large numbers on the earth. Isn't that the same? So... the mitochondria rebelled against the cell."

Speaking of this, Aya also had fear on her face.

"This is what happened before I was born. At that time, the mitochondria that initiated the rebellion against the host wanted to make their own new species, a superhuman new species that could replace humans! Just Eve's first attempt failed. The new species she created died of cell collapse. And she exhausted her strength, and all the remnants of the person she controlled were thought to have been gathered at that time."

Aya has one thing she doesn't say.

Aya is of mixed race.

Her mother Anzi Mariko, before she got married, transplanted the kidney of the Mitochondrial Eve host, and finally became the new host body that Mitochondrial Eve used to create new species.

Zion held up another piece of paper:

"It did it again?"

"Yes..." Aya stepped on the clutch and began to slow down, "Some cells were not closed. They controlled a new person."

Zion changed the paper:

"Your sister?"

Aya was silent for a long time, looking at Edo from the car window:

"You... heard it."

Aya had gaffes before.

Zion wrote another line under the paper:

"sorry."

"It's ok, it's not a big deal. Now it's over, the new species it created committed suicide, and Mitochondrial Eve was shut down long ago... So Mitochondrial Eve failed again."

What Zion encountered was the end of this incident, the final capture of the monster created by Mitochondrial Eve through a joint operation of all parties.

Aya chuckled, first handed Zion a business card, and then turned the steering wheel:

"Sir, where are you going? I have other things to do in the future. If you want to find me, you can press the phone number on the business card. Thank you for helping me."

Can be silent for a long time.

So she looked back suddenly, only to see that there was no one in the back seat.

There are only traces of rain in the originally opened windows.

"Who the hell is he...?"

But Aya has no time to think about it, she needs to go to the TPC branch to apply for political asylum as soon as possible.

Zion stands on the edge of the river.

He felt in Aya's body similar to the electric waves of the new species of suicide and those controlled animals.

"But what does this have to do with me, a Giant of Light?"

Sendai has already dazzled Zion, so Edo... The Edo that Zion saw was simply a magical city on the ground.

Even if you fly into the sky, you can still see the thick and abnormal colors.

And there are a lot of weird straps in it.

"This world is too lively."

He wrapped himself tightly in his clothes.

Zion is not afraid of humans.

The two strange parasites seen so far can also be wiped out for Zion.

But if there is really some big guy sleeping in the sea like in the story...or some strange thing living in an unknown place.

"This is the disadvantage of wearing Tiga. It is likely to be the last lonely giant on earth. It would be great if... there is the backing of the Kingdom of Light."

Occasionally, such weak thoughts also arise.

"However, being a giant of light at least has power and choice, which is much better than an ordinary person."

Zion goes down the river, walking outside the neon that only he can see.The windmills turned, and the dew glistened in the sun.

It was dawn again.

Another day passed.

When I walked through Tochigi Prefecture, an advertisement for the Prometheus Project was posted there.

"That's what Aya said."

Zion rubbed the paper lightly, and could barely read it with his own language level:

It reads:

"This is the greatest project of the 21st century for the well-being of mankind as a whole. Who can say that he does not dream of eternal health and youthful youth! Who can say that he does not expect a strong body and a long lifespan! Now, the opportunity is Here. Based on the No. [-] agreement of the League of Nations, the Prometheus project is here. We are always waiting for every young talent to join us, and we will walk together with you, so that mankind can set sail with the dream of ancient times!"

It turned out to be an open job advertisement for the Prometheus Project, which has been posted here for several years, and it may have changed several batches of recruitment terms.Judging from the signs, this bioengineering contract was promoted by the Alliance of Nations and jointly directed by several powerful countries.

When he was in Sendai before, Zion also saw the recruitment advertisement of TPC.

However, the Prometheus project draws the cake of youth and longevity, while the TPC draws the cake of earth peace and outer space exploration.

"I've seen a lot of this kind of cake!"

Zion snorted:

"The bigger the cake is, the more the actual work is screwing and moving bricks."

It seems that high-end laboratories and engineering generally do not lack command and design masters, but only scientific research migrant workers, preferably cheap labor to repeatedly operate experimental machinery.

"But if you don't join the TPC, it seems that you can't get in touch with their research on the giant stone statue."

Zion sideways passed the advertisement and continued to walk forward.

"Or should I go gigantic and convince (physical) humans directly?..."

There was a small alley on the left side of where Zion was originally standing.

In the alley, a man was covered in cold sweat, squatting there, silent, terrified.After Zion is gone, the head immediately splits into strange blades, and then into wings.It started flying in the opposite direction to Zion.

He is a parasite.

"What is that... thing? I have a similar kind of person who died in his hands!"

It was around this time that Aya arrived at the TPC Japan Overground Branch.

The Hezhong vehicle that was following behind was blocked by TPC.

She received a distinguished reception from the branch's senior management on the spot.

"Finally, in order to thank you for your kindness, I would like to send you a gift, a complete account of everything I mean about Mitochondrial Eve."

Before her eyes, several men and women were pleasantly surprised with smiles on their faces.

"However, I heard that when all parties joined forces before," one of the women raised a doubt, "a person in a coat also appeared in the Sendai City Central Hospital...Is that right? You know his name?"

Aya shook her head calmly, she had long thought of a plausible excuse.

Her body material has anti-surveillance, and the new species created by Mitochondrial Eve interferes with communications near the hospital while in action.

"I didn't have access to him, I don't know anything about him."

The woman in front of her nodded suspiciously.

"Okay, I see. You have worked hard, Ms. Aya... let's go to rest first. TPC will protect every comrade who is working together for the peace of the earth."

Aya saluted and answered yes.Back off quickly.

-

Number: UME-17

Working name: Mitochondrial Eve

After the event is over, the archive is completed, and a special department will be set up in TPC to study and keep it.Communication with any outside parties is strictly prohibited for this research.

Important warning: Some tissue cells have been stolen and must be carefully guarded.

Second warning: Another part is missing, are you eating shit?Strengthen your guard!

Supplement: Items are lost, the group is disbanded, all members are held criminally responsible, and all members' past communication history is traced twice, and screened one by one.

Because chapters are published regularly.The author has said that it may be delayed by 1-2 days.Thank you all old readers for your support, thank you very much.Thanks also to the new readers I met, I hope this book can bring you a little fun (laughs).

Chapter 5 The Big Fish That Float Ashore

In the beginning, Zion wanted to sneak into Edo.

but--

"Damn, it dazzled me."

This is a secondary reason.

The main reason is that something more powerful happened on the edge of Xiaojing Bay.

It is what happens at the junction of sea and land.One after another, the waves hit the shore, submerged the boulders, and retreated in a blink of an eye, repeating this process day after day.As a result, today, and this time, following the big waves, a strange fish the size of a boat rushed directly to the shore, and then stopped motionless on the shore.

Nearby tourists and tourists, as well as old fishermen, are all curious to see.

"This fish is really big, I'm afraid it can't be stewed in one pot."

Zion stood far away from the crowd, looking at the big fish by the water.He hasn't felt the appetite for a long time, don't feel sorry for it.After a few moments, he doubted the letter again:
