Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 268 Scorpion Spine Surgery
"Yes, I remember, they are the extra people who appeared in Yuezhuo Village." Xia Shou touched his chin and nodded.

"Yes, originally all the memories in Yuezhuo Village would not be brought out, but because Yuezhuo Village was cracked, this rule became invalid. The last batch of information about one extra person was recorded. Liu Yilong and Ling Xiao are both characters in a book. The Intelligence Department only noticed this recently." Shangguan Yan explained.

"What about the extra person?"

"The other counterfeits are very ordinary, and there may be something else we haven't noticed yet, but Liu Yilong and Ling Xiao have been confirmed to be characters in an anomalous book. The research department can't figure out why your extra person is those two fictional characters.

Of course, it is possible that similar situations also occurred among the previous groups of people who entered the village, but they all forgot about it, so there is only one sample, you. Anyway, you should take the book back first."

Xia Shou also felt very strange, because he really didn't know Liu Yilong and Ling Xiao.

He was also very curious about why a fictional character in a book would appear in Moonburn Village as his friend.

"It sounds like the Control Bureau once took possession of this book and left no electronic version?" Xia Shou asked.

Shangguan Yan: "The Control Bureau has never taken him in. They just heard about it from other people. This is my personal commission. I hope you can help me get it done while keeping it secret from others. As long as you do it well, you will get the benefits.

Xiaoxia, I admire you very much. I filled out your personal profile myself.

A special ability like yours would normally require very strict testing, but I felt that such testing was unnecessary for you, so I took the liberty of skipping it for you."

Xia Shou's guess came true. No wonder Dr. Modise didn't ask him about his special abilities at the time, and the equipment department also helped him make clothes made of special materials without saying a word. It turned out that the minister helped him with the testing process in private.

This feeling...how can I describe it...

It's like a murderer who doesn't have the ability to deal with the body, so he abandons the body and runs away from the crime scene.

The next day, the police suddenly found that they had not found any useful evidence. At this time, someone suddenly called him and said that he had helped him deal with the body and the traces at the scene had been properly cleaned up. The police could not find any trace.

The murderer must have had very complicated feelings.

Xia Shou felt that his current situation was similar to that of the murderer. On the one hand, he really did not have the ability to disguise himself perfectly. Without Shangguan Yan to cover for him, he would probably be in endless trouble.

But on the other hand, Shangguan Yan seemed to know a lot of his secrets, and the feeling of having someone else holding the secret in his hand was really disturbing.

"Work hard and shine. I look forward to your better performance." Shangguan Yan said in an official manner.

Xia Shou smiled timidly and nodded obediently to show his obedience.

When the other person speaks in this tone, it means that the tacit private topic between them is over.

At this moment, Xia Shou really wanted to break the jar and stop pretending to be himself. He directly questioned the other party: "Minister, just say it! What do you want me to do? How much do you know about me?"

But obviously, this kind of emotional questioning would not produce any results, and the initiative was never in his hands.

The current situation is that he has to rely on Shangguan Yan, but the other party does not necessarily have to rely on him.

Xia Shou could feel that in the minister's eyes, he was just a very useful tool.

For now, I can only endure it.

We have to find a way to use force against the minister so that we can have an equal dialogue with her and achieve a truly equal cooperative relationship.

The more Xia Shou thought about it, the more headache he had, because Shangguan Yan was almost impeccable and even Su Weiyu couldn't investigate her.

"Is there anything else you want to tell me?" Shangguan Yan smiled. His smile was elegant and official, with the unique affinity that a person in power has for his subordinates.

"Um... that's all. I'm going to go get ready first. I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Well, go ahead and work hard."

"Goodbye, Minister." Xia Shou turned and left.

"Wait." Shangguan Yan stopped him and pointed at the blood bottle on the table, "Don't forget to take it away. I applied for it specially for you."

"Oh."

Xia Shou turned back in embarrassment, picked up the blood bottle on the table, and hurried out the door.

……

……

In the evening, Xia Shou will undergo a scorpion spine transplant operation.

Xia Shouben thought that this operation should be a relatively common operation for the Control Bureau. Although there would be certain risks, the safety should be quite high.

But when he saw the various equipment and safety measures on the scene, he felt that he was still too naive. There were an alarming number of doctors on the scene, and there were even several teams of fully armed soldiers present. They were holding rifles and machine guns in their hands, and some were holding special net devices, as if they were about to hunt some highly dangerous wild animals.

And he discovered that not only him, but Lin Tiandong was also there.

When Lin Tiandong saw Xia Shou, he raised his hand and greeted him.

"Why are you here too?" Xia Shou asked in surprise.

"The process of transplanting the scorpion spine will consume some very precious props and drugs. If you die during the operation, I will replace you to complete the implantation of the scorpion spine. But don't worry, the success rate of the operation is very high. Dr. Modise said it reached more than 80%." Lin Tiandong said calmly. After hearing this data, Xia Shou was relieved.

In the ordinary world, a 20% surgical mortality rate is not considered high. The 80% probability of transplanting the abnormal physical fitness of the scorpion spine is indeed reassuring.

But Xia Shou was still very nervous, and decided to release [Self-Destruction] once before going on the operating table, so that if he died during the operation, he could directly go back to the past. If the operation was successful, he could pretend that nothing happened.

"What are these guys doing?" Xia Shouchong raised his chin at the line of fully armed soldiers.

"They are responsible for suppressing the raging and out-of-control scorpion spine. Some transplant recipients will lose their minds and go crazy after being parasitized, so a team of people is needed. If you go crazy, I will be responsible for suppressing you. If you fail and I go crazy after being implanted with the scorpion spine, then it will be their turn to take action."

"Is this ordinary equipment enough?" Xia Shou expressed doubt.

"They have relevant BUFFs. When hunting creatures with low IQ, they will have ability bonuses. They are very familiar with this kind of thing." Lin Tiandong said coldly.

At this time, Qiao Xin, holding a cigarette, appeared at the door of the operating room and nodded to Xia Shou in a familiar manner: "Xia Shou, come in."

Xia Shou walked towards the operating room nervously, stared at the spark on the cigarette butt and asked, "I'm going to have surgery soon... Can I smoke now?"

"The ventilator in the operating room is a prohibited item." Qiao Xin knocked casually on the ventilator installed on the door.

When Xia Shou saw the fan that was obviously removed from a computer, his brain froze for a few seconds and he was a little bit unbelievable.

"Is this the radiator on the computer?!" he said in shock.

"Well, the Longyun No. 102 ultra-quiet cooling fan can keep the ventilation space in a special sterile environment, or more precisely, a benign environment. When placed in a computer, the CPU temperature will be very healthy, and dust will not accumulate inside the chassis.

So later some people tried to use it for ventilation in operating rooms, and found that its effectiveness would change as the demand for use changed, so it was later requisitioned by the Medical Department.

I can only say that it is very useful. With this thing, even if someone plays snowball fights with feces in the operating room, you will not be infected. "

Xia Shou frowned, not wanting to express any thoughts. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Su Weiyu, then walked into the operating room in silence.

"Lie down." The teddy bear automatically appeared behind Qiao Xin, and hundreds of robotic arms unfolded in the narrow room, almost covering the sky above the operating room.

Xia Shou lay down on the hospital bed with an uneasy mood.

Because of Alice, he couldn't turn his head. This state of only being able to look at the ground made Xia Shou feel more and more uneasy.

"How long will the operation take?" Xia Shou asked softly.

"A few hours, or maybe dozens of minutes at a fast speed. It depends on the condition of the scorpion's spine." Qiao Xin took a deep puff of cigarette and patted Xia Shou's back gently like patting pork, as if what she was responsible for next was not a delicate operation, but an assembly line job with no technical difficulty.

"Can you tell me before the anesthesia? So I can be mentally prepared." Xia Shou sighed.

"Relax, it's no big deal." Qiao Xin took out the cigarette, flicked the ash with her fingers, took a final puff, and threw it into the trash can.

After a while, a huge transparent box was carried in.

The box was filled with scorpion spines, which were colliding wildly in the box like a mad snake, making loud banging noises.

Xia Shou supported himself with his hands, stood up, took a look, and found that there was even a crack on the surface of the box containing the scorpion spine!
"It's almost cracked, don't you need to reinforce it?"

"That's the material. It's okay with these few cracks. Don't make a fuss. Just lie down and relax." Qiao Xin pushed Xia Shou down on the bed.

Xia Shou grabbed the edge of the operating table with both hands, and the tension in his heart reached its peak.

Are these guys trying to shove this thing into their backs? Can they really succeed?
The door of the operating room opened and closed again, and Su Weiyu came.

"I'm here." Su Weiyu ran over, her chest still rising and falling slightly.

When she saw the scorpion spine struggling in the transparent explosion-proof box, she frowned, with some doubt in her eyes.

"Wei Yu, I will activate [Self-Destruction] later. Please pay attention to the progress of their surgery. If the operation goes smoothly, it's fine. But if it doesn't go smoothly, please kill me within an hour."

Xia Shou has already decided that even if the scorpion spine cannot be transplanted for the time being, being alive is better than dying, and he does not want to report to the choir.

If the operation is really going to fail, it would be better to give up on transplanting the scorpion spine first.

"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on you the whole time." Su Weiyu nodded confidently.

"Okay, time to give me anesthesia." Qiao Xin suddenly spoke.

Almost at the same time she said this, she inserted the anesthetic needle into Xia Shou's neck.

Xia Shou immediately activated [Self-Destruction], and this time no red lines appeared around him, which meant that his location was the most dangerous place so far.

Then he immediately lost consciousness.

A second before he lost consciousness, Xia Shou was thinking that the anesthesia procedures of the Control Bureau were unexpectedly unique and unconventional...
