Apocalypse, then transforming into a magical girl

Chapter 207 Sasha's Wonderful Adventure (Part 3)

Sasha fell into thought once again.

Much later, she came to a conclusion: she should continue to court death.

When people are killed, they die.

However, even if you are killed, you will not die.

Moreover, when harpy lizards help supplement biomass, the cost of violating the rules is close to zero.

Furthermore, Bai Shuyuan wasn't in a hurry, and neither did the two survivors. Therefore, exhaustive search should be a good option.

Therefore, you can break all the known rules and try all the possibilities you can think of to see what happens.

So she took another step forward.

When I had walked about thirty meters, I felt a cool sensation on my neck, a familiar feeling.

Then, he returned to the alley entrance. New flesh and blood tissue proliferated rapidly at his neck, and a brand new head took shape within seconds.

She continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

As I walked, my thoughts wandered.

She concluded that the one who created all of this must be a human fused with a deformed fetus. After all, ordinary aggregates don't possess such strange abilities.

These deformed fetuses are usually just as intelligent as humans, and they will instinctively hide themselves in the safest place.

So, this place is very likely at the end of the alley, in an area that I can't reach for the time being.

Thinking of this, she stopped in her tracks.

The purpose this time is not to test the distance. It's time to test the next rule.

Sasha remembers that after stopping in the alley, her neck would hurt, and if it lasted more than five minutes, her head would be separated from her body.

So she stood quietly in the middle of the alley, focusing on the sensations in her body.

Soon, Sasha felt an uncomfortable sensation on her neck, a sensation she was very familiar with—pain.

Sasha knew that humans really disliked this feeling.

In my memory, they would choose to take painkillers, or if the feeling was too intense, they might even take something like morphine.

But that kind of thing is useless to me.

Therefore, we should use a more direct method to eliminate it.

She tilted her head and thought for a moment. Her current body, with its internal structure, had simulated a human to the greatest extent possible. The transmission of nerve signals should be roughly the same.

Her PhD in biology made this information seem like common sense to her.

Human pain originates in the nerve endings that are distributed throughout the body.

Once these nerve endings are activated, they will transmit electrochemical signals to the spinal cord along specific pathways.

Here, some reflexes might be triggered. But ultimately, it will be projected to the brain and interpreted as "pain".

Therefore, the method to block out pain is very simple.

She stepped back a few paces, returning to a position where she could be seen from the alleyway entrance.

Humans use tools.

The third-person perspective before us is undoubtedly a very, very good tool that can be used to perform surgery on ourselves.

She raised her hand and reached for the back of her neck.

The moment your fingertips touch your skin, the tissue there automatically slides to the sides, like unzipping a zipper.

Subsequently, the muscle fibers detached on their own, and the vertebrae and myelin sheath dissolved as well.

Sasha carefully unraveled bundles of complex nerve fibers from the opening in her neck. She gently searched within these fibers.

found it.

She used her hands to neatly and efficiently twist off a portion of the fibers.

Ah, it's quiet now.

The pain disappeared.

Seeing this, the two survivors had no idea how to react.

That dwarf has been completely mute since just now.

The other bespectacled man, while having a fairly good capacity for understanding, was completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

Bai Shuyuan seemed to think that this process needed to be explained, so she simply said to the two survivors beside her: "Nerve fibers can be divided into three categories: A, B, and C, according to their conduction speed and function. What she just severed were the delta fibers in category A, as well as all the fibers in category C."

-

"This allowed her to block out the sensation of pain."

"————"

Upon hearing this, the man wearing black-rimmed glasses paused for a moment, feeling a brief moment of astonishment.

—Why bother explaining these things? Shouldn't this be the explanation? Besides, even if it were explained, he wouldn't understand it at all.

However, he quickly gave up on dwelling on these details.

He tried to guess and deduce what was going on.

Clearly, the little girl in front of us is a monster.

And this hooded, black-haired woman seemed to be just as striking.

He looks like a human, but he walks with monsters.

Moreover, as soon as she arrived and heard about the situation, she did not hesitate to take her experimental subject to face this deadly area.

Therefore, he made a bold yet reasonable conjecture.

Behind this apocalyptic crisis, perhaps—

"Are you a scientist at some secret research institution?"

"Those monsters outside, and her—are they all your creations? Is this apocalypse directly related to you?"

He asked all his questions.

Bai Shuyuan listened quietly, which was exactly what she expected.

"No. I am not a scientist. This catastrophe was not caused by me."

She simply gave a concise and clear answer.

"So—you're a doctor?"

The bespectacled man was still trying to categorize her as something he could understand.

"No," she replied.

Bai Shuyuan didn't want to continue this guessing game.

She believed that her identity was nothing to hide in this apocalyptic world.

On the contrary, this may be a fact that needs to be explained.

After all, revealing the truth that one possesses extraordinary powers is a highly effective way to stabilize people's hearts and minds.

Therefore, she stated a fact directly.

"I am a magical girl."

"I see."

Obviously, this is not true.

The bespectacled man made this judgment almost instantly.

But why would she say that?

The bespectacled man fell into thought.

In the base, he was often criticized by others for being "insensitive" and "argumentative" because of his outspokenness.

But his long experience of being scolded in the apocalypse taught him a lot. At least, he believed he had fully learned how to socialize.

Now, I should use the knowledge I've learned to start analyzing.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dwarf beside him, who stood frozen in shock. In that instant, he understood everything.

The dwarf was completely terrified; his face was blank, and he showed no reaction whatsoever.

So, the black-haired woman in front of you is joking!

That's a joke!

A high-EQ social move intended to ease the tense atmosphere! This woman has exceptionally high emotional intelligence!

—However, this raises a new problem.

This clever joke had absolutely no effect. The dwarf barely reacted.

The bespectacled man thought for a moment. This person came from a powerful outside force that had no hostility towards them.

Our side is weak and helpless, and may need to rely on the other side's protection in the future.

Therefore, if you want to curry favor with them, you must respond to this kind of joke.

Then he chuckled twice.

"Ha ha."
