Chapter 186: Dr. Shouei's Bold Idea!
Inside the Shishikari Base at one end of the No.0001 Kabaneri World, Dr. Shouei and Mima Amatori arrived here yesterday afternoon.
As soon as they got off the vehicle, they were taken to the zone belonging to the Biochemical Research Institute, but the treatment they received was vastly different.
Dr. Shouei was invited to the Dean's Office to meet with Dr. Fritz, while Mima Amatori, Mumei, and Ikoma were locked in the same Prison Cell. Mekko, who had manifested as a 'Nue', was locked up alone, but right next to her was the 'Blue Heart' Kabane, personally named by Dr. Fritz.
"Damn it, who exactly are they? Why are they locking us up!" The red-clothed Girl, Mumei, complained angrily, looking at the Corridor outside the Prison Cell.
"Didn't they say? It's because we're Kabaneri." Ikoma leaned against the wall and looked at her helplessly. "You've already seen their Strength. We can only wait for their decision now."
Although he said that, his eyes still held clear unwillingness, especially when looking at his empty hands, which reminded him of the confiscated 'Piercing Gun'.
"They should be an Influence/Power from Overseas," Mima Amatori, who was standing nearby, said softly at this moment.
Mumei turned around and looked at him with a complex Gaze, asking in a low voice, "Elder Brother, why did you lie to me? You lied that you were going to Kongokaku just to see Father Lord..."
"I didn't lie to you."
Mima Amatori looked at her expressionlessly. "I was indeed going to see Father, but after meeting him, I would destroy him along with Kongokaku. This is revenge, for myself and for the 400,000 troops from ten years ago. But what's the use of saying all this now?"
Yes, they had all become prisoners. It was possible they would be taken away as experimental Materials. What was the point of talking about these Grudges now? The three of them fell silent.
At the same time.
Dr. Fritz was leading Dr. Shouei to the outside of the 'Blue Heart' Kabane's Prison Cell. Steve Gus and four CP7 Members were following beside them.
"You actually injected the Heart Blood from the 'Black Smoke' Core directly into his body and successfully turned him into a perfect 'Nue'!"
After listening to the former's introduction and looking at the 'Blue Heart' inside, Zhuang Wei cried out in disbelief.
"How is this possible?"
"The Blood inside the 'Black Smoke' Core, whether it's the High Temperature or the concentration of Kabaneri Virus, is far higher than that of ordinary Kabane. No one can withstand such High Temperature and painful stimulation. I've done this experiment before!"
Dr. Fritz smiled casually and said, "So you changed to injecting the Blood of ordinary Kabane into Humans, and then blocking the flow in the Left Carotid Artery, creating Kabaneri like Mima Amatori?"
"Exactly!"
"Although the success rate of my method isn't high, I can guarantee at least two successes out of ten Women!" Dr. Shouei said with a hint of pride.
"Why does it have to be Women?"
"Because experiments have proven that Women's endurance is far Stronger than men's. To become a Kabaneri, one must persevere until the 'Blood Exchange' is complete. This is an extremely painful process."
Hearing Dr. Shouei's words, Steve Gus grinned and said, "That feeling is indeed intense, like Hot Water flowing in your Blood Vessels. But it can't be that only Women can do it, right? Or are the men in your World all that useless?"
"Our World..."
When Dr. Shouei heard this, he immediately realized that these people were from Another World. Yes, he had just learned the basic information about the World Government in Dr. Fritz's Office.
To be honest, it was very hard to believe, but everything in front of him forced him to believe.
"Although Gus's words sound rough, they do make sense. If it were us Sea Star Person, we probably wouldn't need to consider gender issues."
Dr. Fritz said thoughtfully, "However, according to Gus's description of that pain, it's true that not everyone can withstand the High Temperature burning of the 'Blue Heart'. So, if we switch to the Blood of ordinary Kabane, it should lower the difficulty of Renovation into a 'Kabaneri'."
Strictly speaking, Steve Gus is also a Kabaneri, after all, the meaning of Kabaneri is an existence that is half Human and half Kabane.
It's just that he belongs to the advanced form of Kabaneri, which is the 'Nue'.
"But what about the requirement for Life Return?"
Regarding the question raised by Gus, Dr. Fritz smiled and looked at Dr. Shouei beside him.
"Didn't I propose before using something like a Collar to constrict the Neck to prevent the Kabaneri Virus from invading the Brain through the Left Carotid Artery? I just didn't expect this thing to have been developed by Dr. Shouei years ago."
The latter nodded and took out something resembling a silk scarf from his inner pocket, introducing it: "It's this. It's called a 'Restraining Scarf'. It can block Blood flow to a certain extent."
"What does 'to a certain extent' mean?"
Dr. Shouei replied, "It means that if the concentration of Kabaneri Virus in the Blood is too high, it will rupture."
"After Mima Amatori injected Mekko with 'Black Blood', which enhances the Effect of the Kabaneri Virus, she turned into a 'Nue'. However, because the Restraining Scarf was torn apart by the excessively strong virus concentration, the virus entered her Brain, turning her into a true Kabane."
Dr. Fritz thought for a moment and asked, "So, the problem lies in the Strength of the Materials of your Restraining Scarf?"
"Uh, you could say that," Dr. Shouei sighed.
"Then why don't you try attaching the Kabane's Heart Membrane to the Restraining Scarf?" Dr. Fritz pressed.
"This..."
Dr. Shouei was stunned. He thought to himself, 'That's right, why didn't I think of that before!'
At this moment, an Expression of shame and annoyance appeared on his face. It was the feeling of someone who considered himself smart realizing he had made a foolish mistake.
"Furthermore, besides the relatively comfortable Restraining Scarf you developed, I saw that the Kabaneri named Ikoma was wearing a Metal Collar around his Neck," Dr. Fritz said.
Dr. Shouei Shake Head. "That's useless. A Metal Collar also cannot withstand the Kabaneri Virus enhanced by 'Black Blood'. I've done experiments on this before."
"In fact, the Strength of Metal Collars and this silk-type 'Restraining Scarf' are about the same. However, what you just said about reinforcing the 'Restraining Scarf' with a Kabane's Heart Membrane, I think the feasibility is very high!"
Dr. Fritz nodded. He was already aware of the 'Black Blood' that the other party had mentioned several times.
This is a Virus-enhancing agent made by Dr. Shouei using the Heart Blood of the 'Blue Heart' Kabane as the main Materials, supplemented with other Creature materials. It can turn ordinary Kabaneri into 'Nue' form Kabaneri.
He also has an Antidote Serum called 'White Serum'.
It can significantly reduce the concentration of the Kabaneri Virus. If injected into a 'Nue' form Kabaneri, it can turn them back into ordinary Kabaneri. If injected into an ordinary Kabaneri, there is a 50-60% chance of turning them back into Ordinary People!
It was also because of these two inventions that Dr. Fritz valued Dr. Shouei's Talent in Biochemical Virus and agreed to apply for the qualification of Junior Researcher at the Biochemical Research Institute for him.
At this moment.
"Hey, what do you think would happen if we injected this 'Blue Heart' Kabane inside with my 'Black Blood'?" Dr. Shouei surprisingly proposed two bold ideas.
"Or what would happen if we injected Mr. Steve Gus with my 'Black Blood'? Would they turn into the same form, or would there be a difference?"
