I'm trapped in a cube

Chapter 548 Rainbow Virus

The colorful spindle-shaped hair balls rippled slowly in the lake, and the fine lines like hair kept shaking.

This thing called "rainbow virus" by Xi seemed to be no different from the water plants in the lake.

But Mo Ling clearly felt that Xi was very nervous at the moment. Could it be that this rainbow virus was a very scary thing?

"What is the rainbow virus?" Mo Ling asked Xi.

"Senior, don't you know?"

"I don't know." Mo Ling answered truthfully.

Xi thought about it and thought that the senior might not have been exposed to new viruses for too long. Different doctors deal with different diseases. It is normal for the senior not to know this virus.

So Xi explained to Mo Ling:

"This virus has not appeared for a long time. Before I fell asleep, the doctor just discovered the existence of this virus, and even some details of the onset were not clear. Later, I didn't know..."

"Why did it appear on Senluo Island?" Xi was obviously very confused.

"Is this virus terrible?" Mo Ling asked curiously.

What Mo Ling didn't expect was that after hearing this question, Xi was silent for a long time. After a while, he answered awkwardly: "It's a bit scary, but not so scary..."

In the dark lake, Xi looked at the swaying spindle-shaped hair ball and told Mo Ling about the origin of this virus.

...

One day, a group of special patients came to the Huasheng Islands. They migrated from a passing empty island.

This is a group of people who look like penguins and have simple wisdom. The doctors have treated individuals of this race before, but the penguins who came to the island this time seemed different.

They all showed different degrees of "colorization" all over their bodies.

Some penguins with lighter colorization will reflect colorful light at the tips of their feathers, shining and looking very beautiful.

But those penguins with more serious colorization look a little weird...

They will be covered with colorful spots all over their bodies, as if their original colors have been completely destroyed. Although they can still retain the original texture, the colors have all become colorful.

The feathers are colorful, the beaks are colorful, the claws are colorful. The doctors checked the internal organs of these penguins and found that they were also colorful, and they all reflected colorful glare in the sun.

Because this race has simple wisdom, after seeing this strange colorization, the curious doctors couldn't wait to communicate with them, wanting to find out what happened to them.

"Why did you migrate here?"

"Too dangerous! Too dangerous!" The penguins answered in unison: "They were eaten. There is no point in hiding. They were eaten up!"

"What do you mean?" The doctor in charge of the inquiry was also confused, so he had to continue asking: "What are you avoiding?"

"Bears, eagles, crocodiles, wolves..." The penguins talked again.

The doctors were more and more confused as they listened, until they noticed the colorization on their bodies again, and then they guessed what happened...

"You have become colorful, so you can't avoid your original natural enemies, and you will be discovered quickly if you hide, so you can only migrate, right?"

"Yes, yes! You are a smart guy...color...can't hide." The penguins saw that the doctors understood what they meant and praised happily.

Now, the doctors finally understood the reason why penguins migrate.

After talking, they all agreed that this was a rare disease, because penguins would become colorful because of this disease.

So, the doctors immediately began to determine the cause of the disease. They had to figure out the source of the colorization in order to better treat it.

At first, they thought it was a fungal infection, because the spread of colorization followed the rules of fungal infection very well, first external, then gradually spread throughout the body, and finally entered the body.

But after careful examination, the doctors found that it was not a fungus.

After a period of examination, with the help of special perception, the doctors finally confirmed that the cause of colorization was a virus.

This is a strip-shaped virus, very small, that infects all types of cells in the penguin's body.

Once infected with this virus, the penguin individual will inevitably turn into color.

After confirming the existence of this virus, the doctors gave it a very appropriate name - Rainbow Virus.

Knowing the cause of the disease, it can be treated next, but the doctors did not take action immediately. They wanted to learn more about this strange virus.

"Do you feel any discomfort in your body?" The doctor asked the penguins.

"No." The penguins answered seriously.

"Will your eyes not see things clearly?"

The doctors asked a penguin whose eyes turned into colors.

"No."

The answer of this penguin surprised the doctors. When the eyes are turned into colors, the vision should be greatly affected, and it may even be completely blind, but this penguin does not seem to be affected at all.

The doctors tested the vision of this penguin and found that its vision is indeed no different from that of normal penguins.

"It shouldn't be. The lens has become colorful. Can it still refract light normally?"

This was obviously an abnormal phenomenon, so the doctors immediately examined the penguin's eyes. They were surprised to find that the virus in the penguin's eyes was actually controlling the cells to transmit normal light signals.

Although the light could not be refracted normally in the lens, the virus could control the optic nerve to produce the correct light signal and transmit it to the brain.

Now, even if the refraction of light was a mess, the image seen by the penguin was still normal, and there would be no deviation at all.

Such a discovery completely confused the doctors. They had seen all kinds of strange diseases and learned about countless strange viruses, but they had never seen a virus that would try every means to keep the host's body function normal.

"Does the rainbow virus have a bigger conspiracy? Does it want to control the entire penguin race?"

The doctors have never hesitated to speculate about diseases with the worst malice.

Out of responsibility for the patients, they conducted a deeper study of the rainbow virus, and at the same time, these penguins infected with the rainbow virus were examined.

Soon, they figured out the mechanism of this virus infection:

"It does not need any other nutrients, it only needs to swallow pigments, and it will only swallow pigments... Then it replicates in the cell, occupies the cell, and controls the cell to start changing color. It will not destroy the cell, nor will it affect the host's body functions, but will help the host maintain its functions intact."

In short, after the rainbow virus enters the patient's body, it will turn the patient's body into a "living screen", and they use "cell pixels" to display colorful colors on the screen...
