Alien Knights

If placed in modern society, the discovery of "Sutherland Archaea" may be included in the list of the top ten most important discoveries of microorganisms.

At least in Todd's scientific research career and books in his previous life, there has never been such a bacterium with such strange characteristics.

The size of the Sutherland archaea is not fixed, its cell wall is quite free to extend and stretch; its nucleus can generate directional thrust; the trace solution it releases can expand the cytoskeleton gap in the endothelial cells.

The above three points enable them to create micron-sized large pores on the tube wall, shrink their bodies to "squeeze through" the holes, and freely shuttle between the cells of the tube wall in the body.

Not only that, but the most amazing feature of this archaea is its ability to synchronize with the nerves and create a stress response to the toxicity of exotic microorganisms.

It may be difficult to understand that.

Let's illustrate with a simple example.

When Todd is not using the power and is in daily life, the toxic substances metabolized by the "perspective power" bacteria in the eyes will stimulate the nerves, triggering the "active attack" of the Sutherland archaea in the nervous system, passing through the cytoskeleton, directly blocking and enveloping the foreign bacteria, and absorbing and purifying the toxic substances discharged by them into the human body.

When Todd uses the "perspective ability", the Sutherland archaea that received the stimulation of the nerve center will "temporarily retreat", automatically release the foreign bacteria in the body, and slowly retreat into the nervous system, waiting for the next command.

This kind of bacteria is like the safety trigger of firearm supplies. When the gun is not fired, the safety is closed to prevent the firearm from going off; when it is to be used, the safety will be opened.

Todd looked at the scenes under the microscope, trembling with excitement, and shouted incredible in his heart.

As for the origin of the "see-through bacteria" in the body, researchers gradually have the answer.

If the history mentioned by the throat bone is true, then these xenobiotic bacteria should come from the bodies of Sutherland sages thousands of years ago.

This answer sounds ridiculous, but it has a reasonable logical reasoning.

Thousands of years ago, Sutherland, the alchemist who covered the eastward migration of the alien blood, should also be an alien, and the bacteria of "perspective ability" existed in his body.

When he died in battle, during the cool-down period of the nerve center, the Sutherland archaea locked and preserved all the alien bacteria in his body.

During the seven days and seven nights of burning corpses, the thermostable and thermophilic archaea protected the heterogeneous bacteria in their own cell walls, survived together, and attached themselves to the ashes of the alchemist.

What follows is a series of coincidences arranged by fate.

Xia Shang traveled to this different world, and Todd opened the "Box of Proverbs" in the cellar. At the same time that Sutherland's ashes were sprayed on the two silly faces, the Sutherland archaea, which contained see-through bacteria, also entered their nervous system and started to function again.

Satisfied, Todd slumped on the chair, looked at the little morning light on the roof, listened to the morning class bell, and took a deep breath.

Although he hadn't closed his eyes for more than 20 hours, he didn't feel tired at all, instead his brain was excited and sober.

After tidying up the table and keeping the utensils, Todd closed the crack, closed the door, and returned to the monk's dormitory.

It wasn't until he saw his own bed that he finally felt tired, and fell asleep on the bed.

In his dream, he returned to the university in his previous life. With the great discovery of microbes, he published countless papers in key core journals, participated in countless summits in the field of microbiology around the world, appeared in "Time" magazine, won the "Nobel Prize in Physiology", married Bai Fumei, and reached the pinnacle of life...

"Mr. Todd."

It was as if a woman was pushing herself.

"Mr. Todd, get up quickly."

This strength is neither light nor heavy, just right.

"..."

Crash!

A cloud of snow water poured down.

Todd let out a strange cry and jumped up from the bed.

Karin rubbed her palms and looked innocently at the victim.

Todd, who regained consciousness in an instant, wiped the top of his head with a dry cloth beside the bed, and looked at the perpetrator helplessly.

"Don't you have a better way of waking someone up?"

The girl spread her hands and said with a playful smile, "This is the fastest way, isn't it?"

"What's the need to call me up in such a hurry?!"

Tilting her head in the direction of the monastery gate, Karin's words were full of disgust: "There are some church dogs barking non-stop, saying they want to see you."

What?

church?

With question marks on his forehead, Todd walked out of the room. While walking, I thought, the only person I have seen in the church should be Father Rupert, right?

Walking in the promenade leading to the front hall, he realized that today's monastery is somewhat different from the past.

The sun was high in the sky, and those monks who went out to preach and study scriptures at noon should be rushing to the cafeteria near the main hall at this time, but there were not many people on the road.

Todd didn't know where they had gone until he walked to the gate of the monastery.

The monks of the monastery, led by several senior masters, surrounded the main entrance and were confronting a group of visitors.

Among the visitors, a man wearing a black Roman shirt with a gloomy face stood opposite the monks, stroking the cross on his chest with one hand, and pointing at the crowd opposite: "Being the same servants of the heavenly father, treating brothers of the same root, is this the piety and benevolence you praise?"

More and more people gathered nearby, whispering and discussing.

Someone saw Todd appearing in the front hall and shouted, "Come out! The Son of God is here!"

Hearing the address from the believers, the man in black twitched his eyes and turned his head in the direction of the front hall.

The cheering people, the expressionless visitors, and the frightened monks. Todd shook his head depressedly. It seemed that things were more troublesome than he imagined.

"Fellow Todd, I am Father Paul, sent by Bishop Fabian, to announce to you the church's ordination decision."

What the man in black robe said made him even more puzzled.

He did understand the meaning of the word "consecrate", the holy order is bestowed on the clergy by the person with the highest holy order in the church.

To put it simply, the leaders in the church promoted their subordinates.

But this consecration ceremony is not in line with common sense at all.

1. Todd is obviously a monk, not a member of the clergy, and is not eligible to be awarded a holy rank at all.

2. Even if the conferment of holy steps should be carried out in the cathedral of the bishop, a special ceremony for observing the ceremony should be set up. What kind of reason is this kind of announcement like finding a mountain top at random and finding a priest to deal with errands?

Father Paul took out a parchment from his pocket, handed it to the front, and said in a loud voice, "Friend Todd, the bishop bestows on you the rank of third-rank assistant exorcist."

This is even more messy.

The holy ranks of the Heavenly Father sect are generally divided into gatekeepers (first rank), scripture reciters (second rank), exorcists (third rank), celebrants (fourth rank), deacon (fifth rank), deacon (sixth rank), and priests (seventh rank) from low to high.

It's true that the exorcist is a third-rank, but what does it mean to add the word "assistant" in front of it? Honorary Exorcist?

For example, it's like those world-renowned universities in the previous life awarded the title of honorary alumni to so-called celebrities.

Todd glanced at the people around him.

The monks in the monastery looked at him with faint hostility; the visiting church members looked at him with expressions of waiting for a good show.

Recalling the dispute between "Asceticism" and "Churchism" that Huggins told him in the past, Todd immediately understood.

It turned out that I was being used as a gun...
