As for the solution that Ned said could solve the blood shortage of all mankind, Emily smiled as always and said:

"Boss, are you talking about blood socialism again?"

She tilted her head, recalling what Ned often said.

"Establish a global blood database to record the blood types and health information of all donors to achieve transnational blood allocation.

Through data sharing and international cooperation, when blood is in short supply, blood resources can be quickly allocated from other countries or regions... This idea is really - too dreamy."

Ned smiled slightly, a meaningful light flashed in his eyes, "Is it dreamy?"

Emily caught his fleeting glance, and her smile froze slightly.

She felt an unusual chill rising from the bottom of her heart, as if she had been exposed to a biting cold wind for a moment.

She thought to herself: "Is it an illusion?"

Emily looked at Ned in bewilderment and found that the president of the Bluegrass State Blood Center was still the same big brother image as always, with a gentle smile on his face.

But the feeling just now still lingered in her heart, as if a cold snake was crawling on her back. It felt like being targeted by a hungry monster that chose people to eat, and it made her shudder.

.

Dong dong dong——

Emily felt for a moment that there was a problem with the blood circulation throughout her body.

She felt as if her heart was beating suddenly faster, as if it was driven by an invisible force to run rapidly.

As the central pumping station that drives blood circulation, the heart is beating fiercely and abnormally. Each beat brings a violent vibration, making her body fall into inexplicable fatigue.

A sudden headache began to invade her consciousness, as if an invisible needle was poking back and forth between her temples.

She rubbed her brows in an attempt to relieve the pain, but it felt like the early symptoms of a cold, making her thinking slow and confused.

The headache spread in her mind and turned into a heavy feeling that could not be ignored.

She shook her head slightly, trying to wake up, but found that the scene in front of her became a little blurry.

The dizziness of her vision made her steps a little unsteady, and her whole figure seemed to be floating in the void, without any actual touch.

Her body began to heat up, and thin cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and waves of fever-like heat came over her in waves.

"Why do I feel uncomfortable all of a sudden? Do I have a cold..." She thought subconsciously in her heart. Every inch of her body seemed to be protesting against this discomfort.

Just when Emily felt extremely uncomfortable, Ned supported her as she was swaying.

The strange thing is that when Ned came into contact with Emily, she felt that the symptoms of discomfort in her body were suddenly stripped away.

The originally rapid heartbeat returned to a steady state, and the headache disappeared as if being soothed by gentle hands.

Her breathing became smoother, the heavy feeling in her chest disappeared, and the fatigue all over her body seemed to be dispelled by a warm force.

"Huh~"

She felt relaxed, as if her whole body had been pulled out of the abyss of depression.

"I see you're a little uncomfortable. Go and rest first. I'll leave the blood test here to Dimo." Ned looked at Emily with concern.

The Dimo ​​he refers to is the medical director in charge of medical affairs and blood product quality control.

"Okay." Emily glanced at Ned gratefully, feeling a warmth in her heart, and then left the storage room.

Her pace gradually returned to stability, and the sense of relaxation in her body allowed her to regain her strength.

Her figure gradually faded away, and Ned just looked at her back silently.

As Emily's figure got further and further away, Ned's eyes gradually turned from warm to cold.

Those eyes no longer showed a trace of warmth, replaced by a chilling coldness.

The light in his pupils seemed to be instantly withdrawn, and he looked like a lightless, cold-blooded animal, revealing endless coldness and ruthlessness. An elusive smile appeared on his face, carrying an unfathomable meaning.

Looking at Emily's retreating back, Ned took out a thick notebook from his arms.

This notebook looks like it has been used for more than ten years. The cover is slightly worn and the corners show signs of age, but it still looks strong and durable because of proper maintenance.

The cover is made of dark brown leather, which is smooth and soft to the touch. It has a delicate pattern engraved in the center, giving it a somewhat classical feel.

The opened pages are yellowed and slightly curled, obviously having been read and recorded countless times.

Then Ned took out a pen.

The appearance of the pen is simple and elegant. The pen barrel is made of jet black and bright resin material, and the pen cap is gold-plated. The delicate metallic luster flashes slightly under the light. The pen clip is engraved with the exquisite brand logo, revealing a strong retro atmosphere - this is

A very classic Parker 51 fountain pen.

Ned held the pen and gently rubbed the barrel with his fingers, as if feeling the familiar touch.

He opened the notebook, ran his fingertips across several pages, and stopped on a specific experiment record page.

There are dense notes recorded on this page, the handwriting is neat and clear, and it has obviously been carefully considered and revised repeatedly.

——[Experiment number: XJ-001]——

Experiment Name: Blood Parasite Project Infection Experiment

Experiment date: January 25, 1591 in the Terran calendar

Experiment location: Bluegrass State Blood Center

Experimental subject: Emily (the first infected person, see the appendix for subsequent subjects)

Experiment leader: William Ned

Project description:

The object can enter the host's blood circulation system through any open wound, injection or direct contact. Once inside the host's body, it will spread rapidly and fuse with the host's blood cells. In the initial stage of infection, the host may only show mild physical discomfort and

Behavioral changes, such as fatigue, headaches, mood swings, etc. However, over time, the object will gradually erode the host's central nervous system, affecting its behavior and decision-making abilities.

Diffusion record:

Spread scope: Some items have spread through the center to other places outside the state. Please see the subsequent appendix for specific infected persons.

Infected subjects: Subsequent experimental subjects include:

No.:XJ-002-John Smith

Number:XJ-003-Alice Johnson

Number:XJ-004-Michael Williams

No.:XJ-005-Sarah Brown

Remark:

The erosion speed and effect of the project on the host vary depending on individual differences. The specific manifestations and changes of symptoms at each stage need to be further observed in order to formulate effective response strategies.

Note 2:

Thought seeds have been injected into the project, and the synchronization process already has a large number of hosts, and the group-based MEM may be executable.

————————

William Ned used a Parker 51 pen to write down new experimental data on the record page. The tip of the pen slid across the page, leaving detailed ink marks. Every stroke and every painting appeared precise and steady.

Salsasa——

Smooth handwriting continued to appear on the paper, and the chilling content was recorded in his notes in the simplest way.

After finishing recording, Ned closed the notebook and sighed softly.

After Ned put away his notebook and pen, he looked at the blood bags in the storage room. As he looked at these blood bags, the shadow behind him began to squirm, and an avatar crawled out of his shadow.

This is an incarnation with a very terrifying appearance, taking on a half-human, half-bat form. It has pale skin, blood-red eyes, sharp fangs, and wings covered with black scales.

The avatar's limbs are long and slender, with sharp claws on the fingertips.

There is a pair of curved horns on its head, and a long tail extends from its back, with the tip of its tail like a sharp blade.

This is——[Upyr].

The "vampire" in the ancient legend of the Oletin Empire.

The figure of [Upir] looks particularly terrifying in the shadow of the storage room.

A set of bones related to the thorax hangs on its body, with 12 pairs of 24 ribs appearing in layers, tightly covering his body like a vest.

The arrangement of the ribs is exquisite and regular, shining with a pure white luster, as if every bone contains cold power.

[Upir] holds an arrow made of sternum in his right hand.

This arrow is long and sharp, and looks extremely cold.

A [Scarab] is carved on the arrowhead, and the meticulous carving craftsmanship makes the Scarab come to life.

The body of the [Scarab Beetle] is slightly glowing, as if it can emit a faint glow in the dark.

After summoning the avatar, Ned ordered the avatar to raise the boneworm arrow and point it in the direction of the blood pack.

Buzz——

[Upir] responded to his master's order, walked slowly to the center of the storage room, and raised the boneworm arrow in his hand.
