Chapter 269: Scorpion Spine Transplantation Successful

When Xia Shou opened his eyes again, his consciousness was blurry, but he felt no discomfort in his body.

His ears were like a deep cave. Any sounds from the outside world that floated in would produce an echo, just like listening to someone outside shouting in a deep cave.

"What number is this? Can you see it clearly?"

"Three, yes three." Xia Shou stared at the three fingers shaking in front of him and said in a daze.

Then he was helped up.

"Sit for a while. When you're awake, get up and walk around, move your arms and legs." Qiao Xin sat next to him, sweating profusely, her face full of fatigue.

The floor of the operating room was covered in blood, the reinforced glass walls were covered with hideous scratches, and the medical equipment had been smashed into scrap metal.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shou seemed to be able to imagine how tortuous the surgical process was.

But fortunately, I woke up, which proves that the result is likely to be good.

Xia Shou sat beside the bed for a while, his mind gradually became clear. He saw Su Weiyu squatting on the side with a somewhat ugly expression.

She was trying to piece together the bloody white broken bones in the iron plate into a straight line.

"What is that?" Xia Shou asked curiously.

Su Weiyu raised her head and said, "They are all your spine. I feel that the psychological quality of being a doctor is stronger than that of a murderer."

Su Weiyu thought she had chopped many people and seen many bloody scenes of broken limbs and arms, but she was really scared when she saw Qiao Xin's teddy bear cut and broke Xia Shou's spine one by one, took them out piece by piece, and then used steel wire to tighten and support the ribs that had lost connection.

From his back, she could clearly see Xia Shou's internal organs beating in his chest, and her spirit was greatly shocked.

In fact, if it was someone else's, it would be fine, but it was mainly Xia Shou's that she couldn't stand it.

Xia Shou touched his back and found that the wound had healed completely, but there was a slightly cold bulge in the middle of the back, which formed a line at the original position of the spine, like the protruding squamous bones on a dragon's back.

"It will slowly retract. Over time, your fit with the scorpion spine will improve, and the protruding part will penetrate into your skin." Qiao Xin explained patiently.

Xia Shou nodded and touched the smooth skin on his coccyx. He was convinced that the medical skills of the Control Bureau were not as good as Idrisu's.

If Idrisu performed the operation, it would be perfect once it was completed.

Qiao Xin took the data tablet from the assistant and observed the data while saying, "The degree of fusion is the highest ever, and a new channel for the transport of mana has been created. The installed scorpion spines identified the coccyx as the most perfect connection point, so the coccyx has been turned into an abnormal transport center.

It is currently impossible to speculate on the long-term side effects of this, but in the short term, the output of the Scorpion Spine has been greatly improved.

Get out of bed and take a few steps to see. Your original spine has been completely removed. Most of the sensations below the neck are transmitted to the brain after being processed by the scorpion spine. Some physiological reactions may change. Feel it for yourself."

Xia Shou jumped to the ground, and his feet touched the cold, blood-stained and sticky ground.

He didn't feel anything special at first, but when he felt it carefully, he could distinguish the gaps between the tiles under his feet and the subtle differences between the blood-stained skin and clean skin.

When you touch the wall with your hand, the touch is no longer simply rough or smooth. Instead, you can feel the fine lines more clearly, as well as the slight vibration coming from the wall. This vibration comes from the ground, perhaps caused by the footsteps of employees walking outside.

Xia Shou felt that in his current condition, he might be able to easily open a mechanical password box.

"The sugar consumption in your brain has increased." Qiao Xin said, "It seems that your five senses have become more acute, but it is better to maintain a normal state. Using your brain consumes sugar and oxygen. The scorpion spine is more like a potential adjuster, allowing you to unleash the potential of the human body, but you have not become a superman."

"Overall it's been successful. Let's test the abnormality level." Modis pushed the door open with difficulty and walked into the operating room.

The person who came with him brought a testing instrument.

Xia Shou placed his hand on the instrument and concentrated as he did when Yue Zhuo Village activated the Scorpion Spine.

The numbers on the detector began to change.

From one to two.

Then from two to three.

Xia Shou didn't feel anything.

The abnormality level on the instrument continued to rise, and the number became level four!
Modis opened his eyes wide and asked in a deep voice: "How do you feel now?"

"It seems like I don't feel anything."

Xia Shou found that everyone around him was staring at him nervously, as if they were looking at a very rare species.

"Can you continue to level up?" Modise asked.

Qiao Xin interrupted seriously, "Doctor, that's about it!"

"No, let's see, he doesn't react much, maybe he can surpass the limit by four levels!" Modis clenched his short and thick fingers tightly, his expression was extremely excited. Xia Shou hesitated a little and did not continue to exert force. He saw from Qiao Xin's attitude that this attempt might be harmful.

"Doctor! He has just adapted to the scorpion spine. From a doctor's point of view, I am against conducting extreme tests so soon." Qiao Xin objected firmly.

Modis stared at the data board for a while, then pursed his lips and said, "Okay, forget it, Xia Shou, just relax."

Qiao Xin breathed a sigh of relief and patted Xia Shou on the shoulder: "Let me tell you about the habits of the scorpion spine. You must always pay attention to your condition."

Xia Shou pricked up his ears.

When reading the information before, Xia Shou saw that the scorpion spine would have a huge impact on the parasite's sanity, causing the parasite to have some uncontrollable special habits that must be suppressed by the parasite itself.

The Control Bureau chose him as a candidate because he had just conquered the Beacon of Fear and his mental resistance was maxed out.

"The scorpion spine's action tendency is to continuously parasitize stronger hosts, so as time goes by, the host's desire to fight will become stronger and stronger, generally manifesting as a bad temper, and getting angry at the slightest provocation. In the final stage, it may even lose its mind and massacre any living creature around it.

But in addition to this, there are some subtle habit characteristics of scorpion spines. Did you know that cats play with mice? "

"I know that many carnivores play with their prey for fun. Lions and tigers all have this behavior, and it happens more frequently when they are young. It is said that this is to train their hunting skills."

“The host of Scorpion Spine also has this tendency, but it does not play with weak prey, but with prey of equal strength. When the host of Scorpion Spine encounters an opponent as strong as itself, it tends to spare the opponent’s life.

Even if there is a chance to kill with one blow, they will miss it again and again. Although they will continue to inflict heavy damage on their opponents, they are reluctant to kill them and will unintentionally give their opponents the opportunity to kill them.

Many hosts have shown similar habits in battle, and most of them died. Before they died, they did not want to die together, but tried their best to let the scorpion spine on their bodies parasitize the other party. "

“Do they know this rule?”

"They know, but they can't control themselves. In that situation, they appear extremely excited. The scorpion spine will send many wrong signals to the host's body, making the host mistakenly believe that they are still in excellent condition and everything is under control.

But in fact, their bodies were already in great danger at that time, but the scorpion spine was responsible for the signal transmission of various parts of the body, so the host brain could not feel the correct information feedback at all.

Many hosts become extremely excited during the final desperate stage. Even though their bodies are about to fall apart, various happy hormones are constantly transmitted to the brain, and the false tactile simulation makes the body feel that the limbs are still full of strength.

Therefore, you must not rely too much on the Scorpion Spine in battle, especially when you encounter an evenly matched opponent. Your feelings may be incorrect, and the super-sharp five senses that the Scorpion Spine normally provides you with may turn into a bad habit that kills you at that time. "

Xia Shou nodded and kept it in mind.

This habit is indeed a fatal weakness for an ordinary host, but it is not so bad for him. As long as there are enough residues, he can die once, and I will take over and continue fighting in the second book.

Qiao Xin continued, “In addition, hosts parasitized by the scorpion spine love to play with their enemies, and this behavior is highly addictive.

As time went by, all the hosts, without exception, began to enjoy the feeling of walking on the edge of life and death. Each of them had a strong tendency to self-destruct. Many of the cautious ones were very active in accepting S-level missions in the end, not caring about the low survival rate at all. "

"Currently, the new strategy of the bureau is to equip you with a powerful companion. Once you enter the 'playing with prey' stage, he will finish off your opponent for you and end the battle directly.

However, the effectiveness of this strategy can only be seen after it is implemented.

You should be careful when using Scorpion Spine. If you rely on it too much, the harmful effects of the habit will show up sooner."

Qiao Xin reminded very responsibly.

"I understand." Xia Shou nodded.

Xia Shou was feeling very happy as he felt his new body.

The scorpion spine's habits are indeed a nuisance, but compared to the increase in strength it brings, it becomes insignificant.

Just now, Xia Shou felt that his abnormal level could actually be further improved!
Maybe I can reach level five!
The fifth level of abnormality can make the [Superpower Bank] effective for most extraordinary people!
In the operating room, cleaners came in one after another and began to clean up the messy scene. Qiao Xin, Modice, and other experts began to leave. Xia Shou put on his coat and left the operating room with Su Weiyu.

When he walked outside, he found Lin Tiandong was still at the scene.

"You're still here."

"Well, I want you to say hello to my brother for me, and ask him if he has time to come home and have dinner with me after this mission."

"Ah?" Xia Shou looked puzzled.

"My brother is going to carry out this mission with you." Lin Tiandong took out a pair of shoes, "Please give this to him for me. Last time I saw him, his shoes were already very worn."

As soon as Xia Shou stretched out his hand, Lin Tiandong had already stuffed the shoes into Xia Shou's arms, turned around and left without looking back, as if he was a courier delivering goods.

"Drip!"

Xia Shou's phone vibrated. It was a message from Ke Hen:

[Senior, go to bed early. We will meet at the gate at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and take a bus to the ruins of Yuezhuo Village. You can pack your luggage tonight.]
