At 10:05 pm, after a tiring day, Sakaki Makoto finally returned to Dr. Agasa's house.
There were two pairs of ladies' leather shoes and a pair of old men's shoes placed in the entrance hall, but the living room was empty.
Sakaki Makoto put the fruit he bought on his way home on the table and just closed the door...
Miyano Akemi walked out of the bedroom:
"You're back, have you eaten?"
"No."
Shaking his head, Sakaki Makoto asked:
"Where are Shiho and the Doctor?"
"They are in the basement laboratory, saying they want to analyze Kyogoku Makoto's blood composition."
Miyano Akemi blinked and walked towards the dining table:
"I'll heat up your dinner, just wait a moment!"
After Miyano Akemi brought dinner into the kitchen, Sakaki Makoto took off his suit jacket and pushed open the door leading to the basement.
Dr. Agasa's house has a 3-story upper and 2-story lower structure. The top 3 floors are used for living, and the 2 underground floors are used for experiments.
Sakaki Makoto walked up the stairs to the -1 floor. The corridor was brightly lit, the central air conditioning was working, and there was no difficulty breathing.
The door of the laboratory was ajar, and voices could be heard from inside:
"Oh my God, Doctor, look at the activity of these red blood cells!"
“It’s incredible!”
"These are not cells that humans can possess at all!"
"It's just like the regenerative power of a worm!"
Sakaki Makoto raised his eyebrows.
Is Kyogoku Makoto's blood as active as a worm?
Isn’t this just a fantasy?
You know, worms have very strong regenerative abilities. Take the blood nematodes that live in the northeastern Atlantic as an example. This species can be repeatedly removed, and even if it is just one two hundred thousandth of a part of an individual, it can still regrow its body.
It is impossible for humans to do this.
unless...
Kyogoku is not a human being.
Sakaki Makoto walked into the laboratory, and Miss Miyano and Dr. Agasa, who were gathered next to the scanning electron microscope, both looked up at the same time.
"Hey, when did you come back?"
Miss Miyano asked in surprise.
“Just arrived.”
Coming to the scanning electron microscope, Sakaki Makoto kissed her slightly wet lips and said with a smile:
"How's the research going?"
“It’s incredible…”
When talking about research, Miss Miyano became very serious:
"The activity of Kyogoku Makoto's blood cells is dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary people!"
“This is definitely the discovery of the century!”
"What are the benefits of strong cell activity?"
"Of course!"
Spreading his arms, Dr. Agasa said excitedly:
“This is about the body’s ability to heal itself!”
"If everyone could have the self-healing ability like worms, broken limbs could be regrown!"
"Isn't this what they call eternal life?"
"That's right."
Miss Miyano nodded in agreement:
"During the cell regeneration process, the EGR gene is closely related to the self-healing ability. For example, when the worm is growing, the EGR gene sequence in the body is most active!"
"If this gene activity can be transplanted into the human body, the person may become..."
"In the movies, the unkillable monster!"
Unkillable monster...
Sakaki thought about it...
Isn't it just the cute little Deadpool? !
No no no...
Judging from the way worms heal themselves, they might be closer to Tomie.
“What is the EGR gene?”
"This is a type of early cell growth response gene that exists in both animals and plants. It is a gene that is active in large numbers before normal cell growth, recovery from injury, or repair after radiation begins. It is related to cell structure repair!"
Miss Miyano said:
“It also controls the transcription and translation of growth-related genes!”
"APTX4869 injects toxins into cells, causing them to engulf other cells and increase the telomeres of the original cells. The most important step is to inhibit the action of the EGR gene!"
"Oh~"
Sakaki opened his mouth slightly, not quite understanding what was said:
"In other words, if we can restore the EGR gene in Kudo-kun's body, he can return to his original body?"
"right!"
Miss Miyano pointed at the scanning electron microscope:
"I also studied Lao Baigan and found that..."
“Laobaigan made after fermentation has the function of activating the EGR gene!”
"But the effect is short-term. The human body will continue to digest Lao Baigan. Once digestion is complete, the EGR gene will return to its previous state, causing Kudo Shinichi to become smaller again."
"Is there a way to maintain the activity of the EGR gene for a long time?"
Sakaki Makoto pondered and said:
"For example, extracting cytokines from Kyogoku-san?"
"At this point, no."
Miss Miyano smiled bitterly:
"The toxin I put into APTX4869 was discovered by accident, and the corresponding antidote has not been found yet."
"Kyogoku Makoto's cytokines belong only to him and cannot be transferred to Kudo Shinichi. Forcible transfer will cause physiological rejection in his body and endanger his life..."
"Um..."
Sakaki Makoto glanced at Dr. Agasa and asked:
"It seems that Kyogoku-kun's blood can't help much?"
"No, our efforts were not in vain!"
Because of excitement, Miss Miyano's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were full of light:
"As long as I can analyze why Kyogoku Makoto's blood is so active, I can extract it and make an antidote!"
“But this takes time and specialized equipment.”
Seeing his girlfriend getting excited and frustrated, Sakaki Makoto smiled and comforted her softly:
"Don't worry, at worst we can just give up."
