Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 150 57-103: Scorpion Spine

"Wulang, go and get the latest information on the mission. Baihe, you take a rest today. Xia Shou, come in with me." Shangguan Yan gave a brief but clear order.

Xia Shou's pressure suddenly increased.

He was sure that Shangguan Yan must know something, but he just didn't know what it was.

Although I have not been working in the Control Bureau for a long time, I have gained a general understanding of the Control Bureau's employee recruitment process through online courses. The general recruitment process is very complicated, and the special recruitment process is relatively simple, but it also requires some inspection steps.

When I joined the Control Bureau, I only filled out a form. This is either a violation of regulations or a special recruitment among special recruitments.

Ordinary people could not have such treatment. Shangguan Yan must know something about him, but it was unknown how much he knew.

Shangguan Yan sat down behind his desk and motioned Xia Shou to sit down as well.

"Do you know about taking notes?" Shangguan Yan asked casually.

"I've heard of it." Xia Shou answered without hesitation.

The Death Notes are not some secret information. They are quite famous among the banned items. It would be a lie to say that you have never heard of them.

"Dorian Gray's pocket watch and the Death Note were once owned by the same person. Now the pocket watch is in your possession. Where did you get it from?" Shangguan Yan asked casually while working, as if it was just a spontaneous question.

"I just picked it up." Xia Shou replied.

Shangguan Yan raised his lips slightly, staring at the computer screen, and said casually: "Next time someone asks you about it, just say that a passerby suddenly handed it to you, or that you were walking on the street and found this pocket watch in your pocket when you went home.

This pocket watch recognizes its owner, and if the original owner does not give up the right to hold it, even if it is picked up by a qualified person, the finder will not be able to use the pocket watch. "

Xia Shouxin trembled violently.

Shangguan Yan had seen through his lie, but the other party didn't seem to intend to investigate further.

"Minister, you allowed me to join the Control Bureau just because of this pocket watch?" Xia Shou remembered that when they first met, Shangguan Yan pointed out that there seemed to be something special in his pocket. At that time, the thing in his pocket was this pocket watch.

"I guess so. Of course, more importantly, you smell great. Many demons would like people like you. At worst, you can become a demon contractor. Also, let me ask you again, do you really not know what the Death Note is?"

"I just heard about it."

"The Death Note is in the archives. It is a very dangerous thing. One of the rules is that unless the holder's abnormality level is higher than the abnormality level of the personality in the note, even if the holder dies, the personality in the note cannot be replaced. Do you know this?"

"I don't know about that." Xia Shou actually knew. He asked Su Weiyu to check the information and saw this item.

"Then do you know what the highest level of abnormality for humans is?" Shangguan Yan continued to ask.

"do not know."

“Level 1 extraordinary people can be found everywhere.

A second-level extraordinary person can improve his or her abnormality level by absorbing abnormalities.

When it reaches the third level, after the death of the extraordinary person, the cursed power will dissipate just like a monster. This is also the last limit on whether the person can choose whether to absorb the abnormality.

Once reaching level four, the extraordinary person can no longer stop absorbing abnormalities, and as time goes by, he is destined to continue to rise to level five.

For a fifth-level transcendent, even if he just uses his supernatural powers, a small amount of spell power will leak out.

When it reaches level 6, the scale and intensity of the mantra's dissipation, as well as the residual time, will increase significantly. This is also the last stage in which humans can maintain normal sanity. Most level 6 transcendents can no longer be called human beings. The definition of the term human beings begins to become very vague for them.

The personalities recorded in the Death Notes were once level six transcendents. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xia Shou felt a chill in his heart and a chill down his spine.

If he still doesn't understand now, then he really has no brains.

The Death Note can only accommodate personalities with a higher level than the previous personality, and the Death Note once had a personality that reached the terrifying sixth-level abnormal level.

In other words, the personality in the notebook he holds now must have been higher than level six when he was alive!
It is very likely that they are monsters whose thinking cannot be considered human!

"I just said it casually, you can just take it lightly. Now I want to tell you something serious." Shangguan Yan stopped working and took out a document and threw it to Xia Shou. "This is an experimental project that was established a long time ago. Yesterday they included you as a candidate for the sample. This is a rare opportunity to become stronger with low risk."

Xia Shou opened the first page of the document, which was titled "Human Implantation Plan No. 57-103 [Scorpion Spine]".

The first page is the file introduction of anomaly No. 57-103.

【Name: Scorpion Spine】

【Hazard Assessment: High】

[Abnormal level: Overlimit level 3]

【No.: 57-103】

[Control risk: low]

When Xia Shou saw that the containment level of this anomaly was beyond limit level three, he couldn't help but be stunned.

What is the concept of level 3 over-limit?
That is, a first-level extraordinary person can be used as a fourth-level extraordinary person, and a second-level extraordinary person can also fight against a fifth-level extraordinary person!

[Introduction: In terms of behavior, it exhibits biological characteristics, but from the analysis of material composition, it is composed of ordinary obsidian, and it is extremely broken obsidian. These stones are pieced together by some unobservable force to form a spine-like shape.]

Attached below is a picture. Xia Shou didn’t know whether the thing in the picture should be considered a black crystal whip or the spine mentioned in the introduction.

Anyway, even if this is a spine, it is definitely not a human spine. Each bone that makes up this spine has sharp hooks on both sides, which look like the claws of a scorpion.

[This abnormal body has a strong parasitic tendency. When a vertebrate animal approaches it within ten meters, the abnormal body will crawl like a centipede, attach itself to the spine of the animal, crush the host's spine with its own scorpion-like bone protrusions, expel the broken bones from the body, and replace the host's spine with its own body.

After successful parasitism at this step, any activities of the host will not be affected, and the host will gain the ability to quickly establish highly complex conditioned reflexes.

For example: Pavlov rang a bell before feeding his dog. After a long time, the dog would secrete a lot of saliva when it heard the bell even if it was not fed.

Creatures parasitized by the scorpion spine can rely on their self-awareness to set conditioned reflexes.

For example: Taking Pavlov's dog as an example, only one training is required, and if the dog thinks it is good, then the conditioned reflex will be established immediately.

After many experiments, after the monkeys parasitized by the scorpion spine clearly realized that hitting the center of the bull's eye is "good", the monkeys' accuracy rate of hitting the ten rings in the 95-meter shooting was as high as % without any interference. The total training time took one hour.
