Starting with dissecting ghost stories

Next, there was only one question that Shen Xing was very concerned about.

【02-Doll】, its suspected core is the black mycelium-like thing inside the brain, and the tumor wrapped in that mycelium.

What are those?

If those are its true essence, can I transfer the contents of the old doll to the new doll without damaging the old one?

Will the new doll's body affect the abilities or range of motion of [02-Doll]? Can it adapt? Will there be any rejection reaction?

Will the discarded old bodies, now the child mannequins, simply disappear like the mutated fabric skin cut off Li Ya's body?

If the body were to be disposed of by the river, a child costume doll would be essential and the most reasonable choice, as it would contain the blood and organs of other victims.

only......

When the other party's head was cut open earlier, although the other party did not resist, it showed a considerable willingness to resist, but the doll was not able to resist at that time.

Now that the puppet has devoured the mutated flesh and blood, it has regained a lot of power. Will it continue to resist this time?

It neither resists Shen Xing's orders nor his guidance... In order to avoid possible resistance, could I guide it first?

Shen Xing took the [02-Doll] back to the garage, laid it on the stainless steel workbench, and then brought another cotton doll and placed it next to the [02-Doll].

After resetting the DV camera, Shen Xing moved the tripod forward a little, creating an assistant's view so that he could see the image on the DV camera screen with a simple turn of his head.

He tore off the photo of the doll's forehead.

As the photo is torn off, the "Shen Yuan" in the DV camera footage quickly loses its color and detail, reverting to the appearance of a child without facial features.

Then, Shen Xing used his gloved left hand to grasp the long hair on its head and applied slight pressure.

He was pulling out those hairs inch by inch, without even using too much force.

The feeling was like slowly pulling a stick buried in the mud; although there was some resistance, the process was very smooth and even.

He pulled off the hair and placed it on a plate. Shen Xing examined the [02-Doll] in the DV camera. It had no hair on its head, and its "skin" looked very smooth, without any wounds left from yesterday's cutting.

Its repair capabilities are comparable to those of abnormal flesh and blood in one's own body, but it's unclear whether it can repair a real person's body like abnormal flesh and blood.

Outside the frame, the children's doll in Shen Xing's field of vision was still in the form of a tattered cotton doll, except that it was now wearing the children's clothes that Shen Xing had bought.

He took off his clothes, folded them, and put them aside. The doll's figure had changed a lot since he first saw it today.

After devouring the abnormal flesh and blood last night, [02-Doll]'s body had regained its plumpness from its shriveled state, but after the intense training just now, it has shown signs of shriveling again.

The concrete manifestation of this shrinkage is that the abdomen and chest cavity of [02-Doll] have bulged slightly, which is where Shen Xing re-buried the dried internal organs.

Shen Xing picked up the scalpel, aimed it at the head of [02-Doll], and hesitated slightly.

To be honest, Shen Xing was not a surgeon and had no experience as a resident physician, but he was well aware that there was a big difference between operating on a living person and dissecting a dead person.

Every incision in surgery is made to minimize damage, and the skin is cut along its natural texture to avoid scarring; the ultimate goal is repair.

Forensic autopsies are much more relaxed; the goal is to maximize the exposed area and remove the organs as intact as possible, making them much more relaxed than surgical autopsies.

After all, a person can't die twice. They're not afraid of cutting a nerve or rupturing a major artery and bleeding profusely.

If the corpse has been decomposing for too long, it may burst open.

Shen Xing couldn't say whether it was more comfortable to cut a living person or a dead person; he could only say that each had its advantages. Cutting a dead person provided a clear and unobstructed view, and they wouldn't move around much. However, if you cut a living person too hard, their body would twitch, making them harder to control.

He woke up a few times when I was cutting Li Ya before. His pleas for mercy were somewhat comforting, but his restless movements were annoying.

The [02-Doll] in front of us should also be considered a living being.

Do you have any anesthesia methods?

Anesthetize a weirdo?

Shen Xing doesn't even have the supplies to anesthetize a living person, so where would he get the medical supplies to anesthetize a doll?

We can only try commands; if that doesn't work, we can try physical anesthesia.

I still have a lot of strength.

In order to provide proper guidance, Shen Xing decided to take out a piece of mutated flesh that had been extracted but not yet used.

He opened his satchel and took out a plastic dish containing two miniature versions of human muscle tissue.

Shen Xing had planned to bring both sets to the infirmary today to see if he could directly enhance the extracted derivatives, but now he decided to use one set as a guide.

Shen Xing directly pinched one of the muscular figures and placed it on the tray. He closed the lid of the plastic dish containing the remaining one and put it back into his bag.

Even after being left overnight, they showed no signs of merging together, so there's no need to store the flesh and blood separately anymore.

Shen Xing pressed his right hand on the neck of [02-Doll], searching for the point where the skin was hardening.

Shen Xing cut it open yesterday. The feeling of cutting into the skull is different from other places. It feels like cutting hard leather.

If it can be confirmed that this is the boundary of alienation, Shen Xing can simply cut off the head and replace it, which would simplify the operation a lot.

Judging from the contents of the skull that were cut open yesterday, it was filled with fungal hyphae. To remove them all would be no less difficult than performing a neurosurgery. If you could complete it in five hours, you would be a genius. Even the nurses would have to bow down to you.

Everyone has their own area of ​​expertise, and Shen Xing clearly does not possess such skills.

Soon, Shen Xing found the junction between the hard and soft skin on the doll's neck. He then picked up the scalpel with his right hand and placed it against that dividing line.

The doll reacted.

On the screen, the doll's face began to distort, and it reached out to grab Shen Xing's hand, but at this moment, Shen Xing raised his left hand in mid-air and clenched his fist.

The "child" in the picture paused in motion.

Shen Xing exerted force with his right hand and slashed down.

At this moment, the "child" on the DV camera screen seemed to be disobeying commands. It struggled, shaking its hands and legs, and even seemed to grab Shen Xing's right hand. This made Shen Xing feel as if his right hand was being wrapped by something cold.

Shen Xing clenched his left fist tightly, and abnormal flesh and blood surged in his left hand. His muscles began to swell with blood, and his tightly clenched fist trembled slightly, as if it would smash down at any moment.

[02-Puppet] It stopped moving completely, letting Shen Xing continue to cut.

It seemed to sense the threat of death.

Physical anesthesia worked.
