You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the cold metal dissection table.

Just as Jiang Tingxue said.

The man's right hand, which had been crossed over his chest, now hung limply at the edge of the table, swaying very slightly back and forth with the breeze blowing from the air conditioner vent.

The movement, under the flickering lights, exuded an indescribable eeriness and sinister aura.

The air was deathly still.

The only sounds were the monotonous whooshing of the air conditioner vents overhead and the muffled thunderclaps that seemed to shatter the sky outside the window.

The delicate body in his arms was still trembling uncontrollably.

Lin Chen could feel Jiang Tingxue's frantic heartbeat; he could clearly hear it even through her chest.

He gently patted Jiang Tingxue's back, his voice as steady as a rock, instantly dispelling most of the chill in her heart.

"Don't be afraid."

"I am here."

These four simple words contain a power that makes people absolutely convinced.

Lin Chen relaxed his arms and, meeting Jiang Tingxue's terrified gaze, strode towards the corpse that exuded an ominous aura.

His expression was calm, and his steps were steady, as if he were not walking towards a moving corpse, but going downstairs to the supermarket to buy a pack of cigarettes.

"Don't go over there, Lin Chen!"

Jiang Tingxue gasped in surprise and instinctively reached out to grab him.

That thing is too eerie!

However, Lin Chen ignored her attempts to stop him.

He walked up to the dissection table and, without the slightest hesitation, reached out and ripped off the white cloth that was soaked in the smell of disinfectant!

"Splash!"

The white cloth fell to the ground.

A male corpse is fully exposed under the stark white light.

The corpse's face was bluish-purple, its lips were black, its eyes were closed, and its chest showed no signs of rising or falling.

From any angle, it was a standard, lifeless corpse.

Lin Chen extended two fingers and skillfully pressed them against the corpse's carotid artery.

[God-level Mastery of Traditional Chinese Medicine], activated!

The touch from my fingertips was cold and stiff.

There is no pulse.

There was no heartbeat.

dead.

But Lin Chen's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

wrong.

With the help of the [Advanced Physique Enhancer], his five senses have long surpassed human limits.

He could sense that a faint trace of "activity" remained deep within the skin of the corpse.

That's not how a corpse should be.

Lin Chen's gaze suddenly became focused.

[God-level Hearing Ability], now activated!

In an instant, he blocked out all the noise from the outside world.

The thunder and rain outside the window, the static and wind overhead, Jiang Tingxue's suppressed breathing... all of it disappeared from his world.

The world fell completely silent.

Lin Chen slowly bent down and gently pressed his ear against the corpse's cold chest.

one second.

ten seconds.

Thirty seconds.

Jiang Tingxue held her breath nervously, staring intently at Lin Chen's profile, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Time seemed to stretch out infinitely at that moment.

Just as the first minute was about to end.

thump.

A faint, slow heartbeat, almost blending into the background noise, reached Lin Chen's ears precisely!

The interval between this heartbeat and the next heartbeat is a full sixty seconds!

This frequency is undetectable not only by humans, but even by the most precise medical instruments; it would simply be mistaken for noise from a malfunctioning instrument!

A cold smile slowly curved the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

interesting.

He slowly straightened up, turned to look at Jiang Tingxue who looked bewildered, and spoke in a calm tone as if stating a fact.

"This is not a zombie coming back to life."

"This is high technology."

Jiang Tingxue was stunned, her beautiful eyes filled with confusion.

"What?"

"A highly purified tetrodotoxin can instantly paralyze all nerves in the human body, reducing heart rate and breathing to a minimum."

Lin Chen's voice echoed in the empty dissection room, each word striking Jiang Tingxue's mind hard.

"When combined with a special breath-holding technique, a perfect state of suspended animation can be created."

"He fooled all the instruments, and he fooled you too."

Jiang Tingxue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she felt as if she had been struck by lightning!

As a top forensic pathologist, she has absolute confidence in her professional judgment.

But now Lin Chen is telling her that she has been tricked by a "corpse"!

This had an unprecedented and enormous impact on her professional outlook!

Lin Chen did not offer any further explanation.

He turned around and picked up a silver needle used for suturing from the instrument tray next to him, weighing it between his fingertips.

He looked at the "corpse" with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Since you don't want to wake up."

"Then I'll help you."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly jerked his wrist!

"call out!"

That slender silver needle instantly transformed into a cold glint that was almost invisible to the naked eye!

With unparalleled precision, it pierced the "corpse's" philtrum!

Three-tenths of an inch into the meat!

Lin Chen pinched the needle's end with two fingers, and a surge of internal energy flowed into the needle!

next second!

A sudden change has occurred!

The "corpse," which had been as stiff as a stone, suddenly convulsed violently, so violently that the metal dissection table made a loud "bang"!

Followed by.

Those tightly closed eyes suddenly opened!

There was not a trace of confusion or bewilderment in those eyes.

Only extreme brutality!

A boundless killing intent, solidified into a tangible form!

"ah--!"

Jiang Tingxue could no longer control herself and let out a heart-wrenching scream!

At that very moment of resurrection, a murderous intent suddenly erupted!

The "corpse" sprang up with lightning speed, far beyond what a person who had just woken up should have!

He didn't even look at Lin Chen's face, and with lightning speed, his right hand grabbed a scalpel blade as thin as a cicada's wing from the instrument tray next to him!

A flash of cold light!

The blade sliced ​​through the air with a sharpness that could cut through anything, aiming straight for Lin Chen's throat!

The entire movement was ruthless, precise, and without the slightest hesitation!

This is not a street brawl.

This is a deadly blow from a top-tier assassin, honed through countless trials!

The distance between the two was less than half a meter!

The blade was already at his neck!

Jiang Tingxue was so frightened that her mind went blank, and all the blood in her body froze at that moment!

Finished!
