Starting with dissecting ghost stories

The doll did indeed contain remnants of the three corpses inside its body.

And yet I used a brand new knife.

Shen Xing pushed the stomach and intestines back in, placed the tweezers on the gauze next to him, and replaced the tools on the plate with a batch of old ones as disposable items.

Shen Xing put on double-layered latex gloves so that he could easily change the outer gloves and prevent the contents of the doll's body from being exposed.

Dehydrated internal organs are very fragile and easily produce tissue debris that is invisible to the naked eye.

There were no disposable medical drapes in the garage, so we had to temporarily use multiple layers of medical gauze as a substitute.

Shen Xing took out almost all of his medical gauze and lined the inside of the iron bucket, covering it tightly.

Then, wearing double latex gloves, he gently lifted the hard lump formed by the compression of internal organs, just like lifting a newborn baby out of a pregnant woman's womb.

After stuffing the lumps into the iron bucket wrapped in gauze, Shen Xing wrapped the gauze hanging outside the bucket inwards to ensure that the contents of the bucket were completely covered.

The dehydrated tissue resembles a shortbread, and every grain of powder that falls off is a confession.

After wrapping the contents, Shen Xing kept his hands hanging over the metal bucket. He took off his outer gloves, rolled them inside out to cover the top of the gauze, tied a simple knot, and then threw them into the metal bucket.

The garage was lacking in many things and had almost no restricted items, but Shen Xing still kept some common items on hand.

For example, 84 disinfectant.

Alcohol cannot kill DNA, but sodium hypochlorite can.

He took the spray bottle of 84 disinfectant, sprayed the pale yellow liquid inside onto the work surface, and then carefully wiped all the places he had just touched with gauze.

This only increased the workload.

Later, I need to go to the rooftop to burn the gauze covering my internal organs and the gloves I just wore.

After disinfecting the operating area again, Shen Xing put on double latex gloves and looked at the somewhat shriveled doll lying on the operating table.

There will inevitably be some tissue residue inside the doll's cavity, so we must be careful with every step from now on.

He took the measuring tape he had used to measure his own arm circumference and height, and began measuring the doll's height, arm span, head circumference, and other data to perform a physical examination.

Height 92cm, wingspan 95.5cm, head circumference 49cm, weight 4.5kg.

He then wrote it down in his notebook with a ballpoint pen and officially wrote its number on the first line.

【Doll-02】

This is the second unusual "creature" that Shen Xing has encountered after [Wall-01].

Its data in all aspects are very consistent with the physical characteristics of children around 3 to 4 years old, with arm span and head circumference being larger than those of humans.

To avoid wasting the pliers, Shen Xing used the tweezers he had just used to pry open the part of the doll's chest that he had just cut open a little more, and observed the inside by the light of the incandescent bulb.

Just like an ordinary doll, except it lacks cotton stuffing, and there's nothing special about the cut surface.

Shen Xing gently pressed the doll's body through his gloves.

It felt dry to the touch, with a soft, fabric-like surface, and no pulse or breathing was detected.

Shen Xing placed the tweezers back on the spread-out gauze, picked up the scalpel he had just used to cut open the chest, lowered his head, and pressed the tip of the scalpel against the fabric on the doll's forehead.

The blade pressed down.

No blood flowed out, but Shen Xing could clearly feel a toughness from the tip of the knife. It didn't have the smooth feel of cutting through the fabric just now; it felt like cutting a piece of dried cowhide.

"Sizzle—"

When the blade sliced ​​through the tattered flesh-colored fabric, the wound didn't reopen. Instead, it acted like some kind of living sphincter, with the fibers on both sides rapidly wriggling and intertwining, trying to "sew" the opening back up.

Shen Xing's eyes lit up.

There's a reaction... This self-healing ability and method are somewhat similar to my own arm.

He swiftly grabbed the tweezers from the side with his left hand and, just before the wound closed, quickly and decisively inserted them, working together with the scalpel in his right hand to forcefully open a hole.

Through the gap created by tweezers and a knife, Shen Xing could see inside the doll's head.

There was no cotton or straw there.

There were only clumps of black, hair-like, slowly wriggling mycelium-like veins tightly wrapped around a walnut-sized tumor that was pulsating extremely faintly.

Almost simultaneously, a large patch of grayish-white snowflakes flashed before Shen Xing's eyes, like the signs of fainting due to low blood sugar. Moreover, the source of these snowflakes and noise was something inside the doll's brain.

The doll, which had been sitting still, seemed to sense that its life was threatened and instinctively "revived".

Shen Xing put the tweezers and knife away and took a half step back.

In his field of vision, noise began to appear on the doll's entire body, and the previously cut-open chest cavity began to heal itself by pulling against each other along the incision.

flashing.

As if someone had pressed the shutter button on a camera, Shen Xing only felt a flash of gray-white light before his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

But when Shen Xing’s pupils refocused on the control panel, the doll that was originally lying on it had now become a child with a blurred face and gray-white speckles all over its body.

It's exactly the same as the "Li Xiaohua" that Shen Xing photographed on the rooftop before.

She lay naked on the control panel, and a voice rang in Shen Xing's mind.

"Brother Shen...it hurts..."

This is Li Xiaohua's voice.

Hasn't all that flesh and blood been completely consumed yet? Can it still exert some power?

However... it seems that it has now lost the ability to move.

Is this a "projection" acting directly on one's retina? Or an "illusion" acting directly on one's brain? Or has it truly transformed one's body in a biological sense?

Shen Xing quickly stepped forward, and while it was still in this state, he took the scalpel and quickly made a horizontal incision in its lower jaw.

The incision started right from her jaw, along the vertical line down the center of her body, around her navel, and cut all the way to her pubic symphysis.

This is the most commonly used straight incision, and Shen Xing's cut was so precise that it looked like a technique from an instructional video.

There was no bleeding from the wound, and I didn't feel any flesh being cut when the knife was used.

"ah!!!!"

A shrill scream echoed in Shen Xing's mind; it was a woman's piercing scream, but then came the voice of another familiar person.

"Ah Xing! You fucking lied to me! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!!"

It's Li Ya.

Did it also eat Li Ya's flesh and blood?

Why wasn't Li Ya completely eaten?

The dissection of the doll was exciting enough, but now with these screams, it was as if there was an audience. Even Shen Xing couldn't help but show a gentle smile.

"Can you speak in their voices?"

On the "corpse" covered in illusory noise, the wounds were still healing rapidly, and Shen Xing's scalpel was once again pressed against the other's forehead.

This time, instead of holding it like you would when cutting, you grip the handle of a scalpel like you would a dagger.

The tip of the knife was aimed at the location of the throbbing tumor in its brain.

"3......2......"

Shen Xing counted down in a low voice.

As long as Shen Xing exerts his strength, the sharp tip of the blade will pierce through that dry, tough skin without any resistance, and remove the tumor...

It penetrates directly.
