Chapter 31: The Fifth Day
"Wow!"
"It's so big, how did this bug grow?"
"Oh no, where does such a big bug get its oxygen? No, is this a bug? I see the arthropod is kind of wooden. ”
When the wood centipede was beaten to pieces by a chivalrous young man to take away the spiritual hub, and was sent to the First Affiliated Hospital of Hongcheng Academy by Zhengyi Professor Zhang Fucheng to lock the spiritual body of the whole body with the Seven Star Nails of the Secret Rite, what awaited it was a miserable onlooker.
"It's a rare living body! Good fellow, it's time for one to be alive! ”
"To be precise, it's not dead yet...... Anyway, isn't he not dead yet? ”
Except for the physicians who had been invited to participate in this transcendental creature research for the first time, most of the middle-aged and elderly professors who had already dissected some low-level transcendent creatures were not surprised, and even joked, even if the giant grotesque centipede was far more than any creature they had ever dissected before.
"Shi Yu, what do you think is going on with this creature?"
A white-haired female professor stood on the high platform on both sides of the sterile room, she looked at the huge monster in front of her with a smile, and then looked sideways at Ning Shiyu, who frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, just say it, make bold assumptions, and be careful to verify." ”
“…… It feels a bit like a youkai in myths and legends. ”
Ning Shiyu's personality is quite straightforward and crisp, otherwise she would not have raised a son like Su Day, she glanced at the central groove of the super-large sterile room, and the wood centipede that was being soaked in ice water by the porters, and said softly: "I am not a major in entomology, but I can also see that this thing should not be a normal creature...... Anyway, Professor Lee, I think it's kind of like some kind of weird plant with the skin of a bug. ”
This is also the opinion of the vast majority of doctors present.
"That's right, it's a youkai, and it's something we'll be dissecting later."
Professor Li, who seemed to have received the news in advance, smiled slightly, her face was full of wrinkles, but she could clearly see the excitement of the researchers: "Later, professors of insects and botany from other colleges will fly from all over Hongzhou and even all over the country to study this precious research material together." ”
"[Transcendent Biology], this is the research direction of the national medical system, and the future resources will be tilted."
"Professor Li, this ...... Thank you so much! At this time, Ning Shiyu finally understood the significance of the other party taking herself to join this research, and couldn't help but be moved, which is equivalent to taking her out of the original 'general surgery system' and directly entering a promising new system as a pioneer!
"Needless to say, thank you, bringing up the juniors, it's supposed to be what we old guys should do."
Waving her hand slightly, the old Professor Li squinted his eyes, staring at the wood centipede in front of him whose arthropods were still twitching from time to time, and she said lightly: "What's more, wouldn't it harm us to hide smuggling and delay progress at this time?" Look at this astonishing life force, if it can be used by human beings...... This is enough power to drive countless people around the world crazy! ”
"Reiki Recovery...... Hey, resuscitation stuff, not too much. ”
If you want to ensure the integrity of the major parts of the research tissue dissociation, you need to scan the structure of this huge monster first, and then plan the dissection plan, and strive to solve the cattle, little by little the various layers of tissues and organs and special structures of the giant centipede are separated.
Only in this way can we clearly understand what kind of physiological structure the so-called 'yokai' has, and figure out what kind of creature it is.
"It turns out that demons really exist......"
But at this moment, the professional physician Ning Shiyu was not fully immersed in the shock of witnessing the birth of the new system in her heart, she just sighed lightly in her heart: "I don't know how happy the stupid son at home will be when he finds out...... Or is it fear? ”
- Haha, it's impossible to think about it, how can you be afraid.
At the same time, in a police car not far from the hospital, Zhang Fucheng, who had wasted a lot of effort to maintain the state of 'checkmate but not death' with the corpse of the wood centipede in secret methods, was closing his eyes and meditating at this time, recalling the analysis of the criminal investigation inspectors in the superintendent.
"According to the information on the body, the five bodies found in the sewers correspond to the five missing people on the list of missing persons in the last three months. They were supposed to be in the Black Moss Sac, but were removed by the Unknown Transcendental...... And just as the unidentified transcendent placed the corpse, he or she began a battle with the wood centipede. ”
This is the result of the analysis of a inspector surnamed Su, who, after carefully studying the list of all the missing people in Hongcheng in the last three months, put forward a bold guess: "Professor, the earliest victim of the 719 major serial murder case caused by the wood centipede appeared on June 11, that is, one of the missing people. ”
"But after testing, we found that one of the victims who was originally judged to be the victim of this case, that is, the male victim who appeared on the edge of 'Fuhe North Road' and died due to the lack of a head, did not seem to have been killed by the wood centipede - all the victims killed by the wood centipede were missing liver and gallbladder, and the victim had an intact body except for the missing head."
That being the case, the conclusion is obvious.
- The murderer is someone else.
Originally, Inspector Su just wanted to try it to see if Zhang Fucheng could use magic to trace the identity of the killer and find at least a little clue, and Professor Zhang himself didn't mind doing this - they were all brother units under the Zhengguo official, so there was no need to be so rigid, not to mention that the academy originally wanted him to show his mana, and gradually disclose relevant transcendent information.
But strangely, the retrospective failed again.
"Alas, my talisman spells have obviously been approved by the Heavenly Master...... I'm really the best brother in my generation! ”
To be honest, Zhang Fucheng, who was frowning, didn't really want to recall his embarrassing feeling at that time, but failure also had the meaning of failure, at least, he knew that in addition to the wood centipede, there were other powerful demons lurking in Hongcheng.
In addition to continuing to hunt down this new demon, there is also the 'unnamed transcendental' that needs to be found, especially the special order given by the senior management of Zhengyi Academy, which several professors believe may be a part of the inheritance lost in the past history of the academy, which was obtained by a lucky person.
This guess is very reasonable, after all, if ordinary people do not have a inheritance, it is too dangerous and primitive to have advanced transcendent means from scratch, and the combat effectiveness is not high, since that 'unnamed transcendental' can kill the wood centipede, there must be a secret method of inheritance.
- A new demon, an unknown transcendent, who doubts his own magic.
Several things piled up on Professor Zhang's mind, and he couldn't help but sigh in the police car.
"Suppressing demons and evil spirits is a long way to go......"
And Su Day, who had just finished cooking another pot of centipede egg soup, didn't know what his parents and a certain Taoist priest thought.
He tasted the soup, and when he was sure that the heat was sufficient, he turned off the heat with satisfaction and pulled out four large thermos pots.
"Well, in order to avoid being seen as a centipede egg, I also deliberately chopped the egg and put the yam and pork ribs...... Although the medicinal properties will not decrease, the taste is not so clear, it is just simply delicious. ”
Dividing the soup into four portions, leaving two portions for his parents, and preparing to bring two portions to Shao Qiming and his family, Su Yan muttered to himself with some regret: "My cooking skills are still not proficient." ”
"No, I'm amazed that you're so good at cooking."
Yara, who had already woken up, was watching Su Sun skillfully clean the kitchen with an apron and wash the dishes, feeling like watching the tyrannosaurus singing lullabies, and there was a great sense of disobedience in her heart: "You must have had a hard time alone for so many years...... So many extra life skills have been honed. ”
"What nonsense." Su Yan turned his head to look at the snake spirit with a puzzled face, and he complained: "That must be very hard - your parents go home for ten days and a half a month, and the most normal thing is to go home at nine o'clock in the middle of the night, can you learn to cook and clean?" ”
"Alright, it's almost time to go."
After tidying up everything at home, Su Sun left two pots of soup on the table and left a note, leaving a message for his parents on WeChat by the way, asking them to remember to come back and get the soup. He picked up his phone again and started dialing.
"My friend, are you alright?"
While talking, Su Yan brought all the preparation materials, and then went out humming a little song: "I have everything in order!" ”
"It's been ready for a long time."
On the other end of the phone, Shao Qiming's voice had a gentle smile: "You can start at any time." ”
July 28, 2014, 4:15 p.m.
Su Sun encountered a mysterious organization and made a covenant with Yala on the fifth day.
His perfect advancement ceremony is about to begin!
