Chapter 69: Is the real Pallas a bug or a mushroom? This is the question! (Please read on)
[Anchor, you are so talkative! ]
[Did I see it wrong just now? The host seemed very surprised. 】
[Is there something wrong with this Paras? ]
"The truth is, this Paras doesn't want to evolve."
When Ye Yinchuan said this with a little depth.
The rich lady on the other side of the camera showed an expression of disbelief. She said disappointedly:
"How could it be... Doesn't Paras recognize me as his master?"
"You're mistaken. Paras doesn't want to evolve because he recognizes you as his master and doesn't want to leave or lose you."
Ye Yinchuan comforted.
In fact, he heard some voices of Paras just before he closed his listening heart.
(Inner voice: Paras must be patient...hiss...accompany the master and stay awake...)
Ye Yinchuan thought about it and sorted it out.
Because of evolution, the consciousness will be taken over by mushrooms, which is almost equivalent to death.
If that happened, Paras would no longer be able to accompany his master who took good care of him and lived with him day and night.
Of course, it is undeniable that Paras is also fighting for his own survival.
This is the instinct of life and there is nothing wrong with it.
"What's the meaning?"
The young rich woman was obviously a little confused.
Logically speaking, the closer the relationship between Pokémon and their trainers, the smoother their upgrades and evolutions will be.
Why is it the other way around when it comes to me?
You clearly agree, but don’t want to evolve?
How can you say that you don’t want to leave and lose?
It was not just the rich lady who was confused. Ms. Carrot and her roommates, as well as the audience in the live broadcast room, all found it difficult to understand the meaning of Ye Yinchuan's words.
[Riddler, get out of the live broadcast room! ]
[If you don’t explain clearly, I will report you! ]
Ye Yinchuan was also sorting out his words, while giving everyone some space for understanding and buffering:
"That's right. For ordinary Pokémon, evolution is probably a good thing. They will become stronger, and they are often eager to evolve. But Paras is different. Once it evolves, it will die!"
[Amazing! This is the first time I heard that evolution can lead to death! ]
[I laughed, but I held it in for a long time, and it turned out to be a big one? ]
[New fans are all questioning, but old fans are not anxious at all! ]
[I saw this short video, it’s too fake...]
Seeing so many questioning comments and that little bit of support.
Ye Yinchuan sighed slightly in his heart, the truth is always in the hands of a few people.
A true master is destined to be difficult to understand!
"Alas, you don't understand this. A Pokémon like Paras can actually be understood as a bug parasitized by mushrooms. The mushrooms on its back not only absorb its nutrients, but also secrete special toxins to control its nerves and occupy its consciousness.
At first, Paras's consciousness can still dominate, but gradually, it will be replaced by the mushrooms. When the mushrooms mature to a certain degree, that is when Paras evolves, then Paras's consciousness will be completely suppressed, or even erased... It will become an empty shell, like a walking corpse."
Ye Yinchuan did not hide anything and told everything he knew.
The female college students opposite were all stunned and their heads were buzzing.
The barrage of comments in the live broadcast room also exploded instantly.
[No, a good Pokémon, how can you make it sound so scary? ]
[I can no longer look directly at Parast! ]
[In fact, there are similar fungi in nature, not just Cordyceps sinensis...]
"Yes, I don't know if you have heard of the zombie fungus that can parasitize ants. That thing is essentially the same as this mushroom. It relies on spores to parasitize the host and absorb the host's nutrients. After using the host, it will kill the host and completely occupy it. The mushroom on Paras is itself a parasite."
Ye Yinchuan checked the information casually.
I found that there are actually relevant research papers, but they are not well known because they are too unpopular.
[I searched, is it true? ]
[Nah, some scientists dissected Parasite's body and found that it was full of hyphae! Maybe it was like this when it was alive... So disgusting, look at the picture! (Picture)]
Ye Yinchuan didn't expect that someone could find relevant pictures.
It really fits the saying. You netizens can find all kinds of pictures of people who are good at sex, but you just can't find a partner!
Ye Yinchuan took a look at the picture and suddenly felt a little creepy.
On the one hand, there is trypophobia, and on the other hand, there is the instinctive fear of parasites.
Not to mention that it was like this when Parast was alive.
Imagine if humans were parasitized by this fungus, they would look intact on the outside, but in fact their bodies would be full of hyphae...
The walking dead, zombies, these words seem to have become concrete all of a sudden.
Originally, Ye Yinchuan was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to convince everyone just by talking.
But posting this picture is more effective than saying it yourself.
The content of the picture, as netizens said, is the anatomical diagram of Parasite.
And it happened in a research institute, so it looked very real and credible.
Paraste's body was placed on the container like that, and the white-gloved hands holding the scalpel cut open its body.
Inside the hollow insect body are densely packed white mycelium...
"Ah... my Paras, will he die if he evolves? Will he be replaced by mushrooms?"
The little rich woman was already pale with fear, "What should I do then?"
【Look how scared the girl is. 】
[Damn it, my child is also raised by Paras, should I tell him the truth? Anchor, do you have a solution? ]
[From the beginning, just think of yourself as raising mushrooms, right? Aren’t mushrooms cuter than bugs? ]
[Wait, that Bulbasaur, could it be that it is also...]
Looking at the barrage, Ye Yinchuan was a little amused.
These netizens know how to ruin the atmosphere and their imaginations are quite big.
"Once you accept the concept that Paras is parasitized by mushrooms, Bulbasaur is indeed a bit unbearable to look at... But fungi and plants don't seem to be the same thing, right?"
Judging from the appearance and evolution of Bulbasaur, this thing should be a Pokémon that is a fusion of animals and plants.
At most, it's a symbiont.
There is a fundamental difference between this and being possessed by a parasite like Paras.
As soon as Ye Yinchuan started to think about this, it involved an "ethical" issue.
Paras is a Pokémon that is a "mushroom with bugs infesting it".
So mushrooms are lives, insects are lives too, they are all just trying to survive, so how should we look at it?
Are we trying to kill mushrooms just because we prefer insects?
In other words, which one is the real Pallas?
These thoughts also arise from the problem that the young rich woman is facing at this moment. What should she do in this situation?
"Let me ask you a question first. Do you think the Paras you raise is a bug or a mushroom? Or both?"
When Ye Yinchuan asked this question, the girl was stunned.
The other people in the dormitory were also confused.
[My brain CPU seems to be burning out! ]
[This question... Is he really a genius? ]
@Psychiatric Hospital Doctor Wang: [Sorry, I didn’t keep an eye on him just now and let the anchor run out! ]
"It's a bug."
I don’t know what others are thinking, but the little rich lady must be thinking about it seriously.
She made eye contact with Paras's big, watery eyes.
You should be sure that the partner you are taking good care of and recognizing from the bottom of your heart should be the insect below, not the mushroom.
She even hated mushrooms a little bit and wanted to absorb nutrients from insects, even killing them to evolve.
There is no doubt that the "Paras" in her mind is Bugs!
"Okay, then I'll tell you what to do. But I can't guarantee success. Also, you have to be mentally prepared. Maybe your Paras may never evolve in your lifetime. Is this something you can accept?"
As Ye Yinchuan spoke, he was secretly thinking of something in his heart.
If Paras is a bug Pokémon, is it possible that there is a -
A way to not be killed by mushrooms and evolve on your own?
