Chapter 87 Creating a Fake Person (Seeking First Subscription!)

[Tear]

[Skin surface: 3-5 seconds]

[Striated muscles: 12-15 seconds]

[Bone structure: Irreversible]

Shen Xing recorded various trauma recovery experiments conducted on roosters, from lacerations to completely cutting off a section and trying to make it regrow, and then directly peeling off a complete limb and reshaping it.

Such an experiment consumed a small portion of the "energy" of the abnormal flesh and blood in one's own body.

The most direct and clear feeling was that he felt his strength had decreased, and his precision in controlling his body had also declined.

The regeneration of flesh and blood consumed less than Shen Xing had imagined. This was probably because the subject was a chicken; if it were a human, the consumption would be much greater.

Now, the chicken in front of him was completely still and had died from excessive blood loss.

Limb regeneration, organ rupture, large-area lacerations... Shen Xing can basically heal the vast majority of injuries with his abnormal flesh and blood.

The abnormal flesh and blood were far more powerful than Shen Xing had imagined in terms of "recovery." No matter how severe the injury, as long as there was still a breath left, it could be saved.

However, it is not entirely without limitations.

Abnormal flesh and blood cannot generate blood out of thin air, nor can it heal injuries to bones.

After Shen Xing tore open the rooster's wing, he was indeed able to restore its flesh and blood and grow a new wing. However, once there were no bones inside, it had lost its function as a wing and was just a lump of uncontrollable flesh and blood.

Shen Xing cut off the other half of the chicken wing and cooked it. After turning the raw meat into cooked meat, he tried to connect the abnormal blood and flesh with the cooked meat.

But there was no response.

Once a protein is completely denatured, all the cellular structures inside die, and the microorganisms also cease to exist. After this level of damage, it seems that it is completely irreversible.

There seems to be no need to wait for the meat to continue rotting, as both cooking and rotting are essentially irreversible changes.

This also rules out the possibility of using a piece of dead skin to completely replicate a person's thoughts.

Shen Xing took a bite of the cooked chicken wing and tasted it.

It doesn't taste like much.

This chicken has practically no original skin or meat left. The restorative "power" of abnormal flesh and blood seems to have altered the flavor compounds after being injected into the chicken wings.

In plain terms, the chicken didn't taste like chicken.

Even when taking photos with a mobile phone, you can't see any abnormal noise on the chicken.

Having only eaten a KFC meal for lunch, Shen Xing wasn't full, so he cooked and ate the rest of the chicken, essentially consuming what he had produced himself.

After cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, Shen Xing took his phone and laptop and returned to his room.

Through this experiment, he gained a completely new understanding of his abilities, namely that he was very resilient.

Unless he loses too much blood or jumps directly into the furnace, as long as he has a breath left, he can quickly repair any injuries on his body by consuming the energy of abnormal flesh and blood.

However, there is one thing to be aware of: he cannot repair his own bones. If his spine is broken, even if he restores his flesh and blood, he probably will not be able to move again.

However, [01—Wall] cannot bring the skeletal drawing to life.

Is there any way to overcome this "weakness" of my body?

Shen Xing thought about it and realized that, at least for now, he didn't have any solutions.

One could replace a portion of their skeletal structure with stronger titanium alloy, but doing so would severely impair their hematopoietic function, making it a losing proposition...

This problem can be put aside for the time being. After this experiment made Shen Xing realize that he could regenerate muscles, his previous vague ideas now have room to be implemented.

He pulled the black suitcase from under the bed, opened it, and saw the human-shaped doll inside.

Feeding it abnormal flesh and blood can make the [02-Doll] move, but it cannot truly give it the ability to speak or communicate.

Only by feeding it human flesh can it truly acquire the ability to communicate.

Previously, Shen Xing had been unable to find any flesh and blood to feed, but now he did.

Feeding your own flesh.

Feed the [02-Doll] your own flesh and blood to give it the ability to speak and communicate. Attempt to communicate further and determine its intelligence level.

Based on its previous ability to mimic an adult to survive and then return to the video arcade, it can be inferred that it has a high level of intelligence and may have a somewhat rigid way of thinking, at least in terms of navigation.

As for where to feed him the meat, Shen Xing thought for a moment and decided to feed him the buttocks.

If he were to perform the surgery himself, Shen Xing would definitely choose the muscles on the outside of his thigh, because it would be easier to operate on.

However, if one can cut off and squeeze out normal muscle through abnormal flesh, then the buttocks would definitely be more suitable, both concealed and safe.

Why does he feed dolls?

Because Lu Lingyun is about to find Wang Xinran and her brother ahead of everyone else, if Shen Xing really wants to find out about the abnormality in Wang Xinran's brain, he has to try to slow down Lu Lingyun's investigation.

Shen Xing needs [02 - Puppet] as bait to divert Lu Lingyun's attention and muddy the waters.

Moreover, by creating a puppet "clone" and keeping it active, Li Ya's case can be completely defined not by the Municipal Bureau, but by Lu Lingyun.

This would allow Shen Xing to further extricate himself from the matter.

Doing more will inevitably lead to more mistakes, but doing nothing will only allow things to develop in a direction that is completely out of your control.

At the very least, he must have a certain ability to grasp the direction of events.

He rummaged through the photo album in his desk drawer.

With Lu Lingyun present, even if the [02—Puppet] couldn't be preserved in front of the image, he still had to replace the puppet photo and couldn't continue using Shen Yuan's childhood photo.

Because there are gaps between when images and photos go from blurry to when they disappear completely, it's impossible for anyone to leave no trace. Shen Xing can only do his best to prevent exposure and minimize the risk.

While searching through the photos, he finally found a faded old photo that his father had taken of him in the park many years ago when he was still a child.

In the photo, five or six-year-old Shen Xing is sitting on a stone bench with his mother. His mother is smiling brightly at the camera, while little Shen Xing is holding a dinosaur toy and looking at the camera expressionlessly.

Behind the photo are other children running on the park's grass, one of whom, a little girl with pigtails, is smiling at the camera.

Shen Xing took the scissors and began to cut out the photo, cutting out the little girl's face.

At the same time, Shen Xing rearranged the order of the photos in the album to prevent the space from looking empty and abrupt, as if a photo was missing.

Shen Xing also burned the old photo that was missing a piece.

He held the photo, looked at the [02—Doll] lying in the suitcase, and placed the tiny human head image on the doll's face.

*Snap!*

Shen Xing snapped his fingers.

No response.

He reached out and grabbed [02—Doll] by the neck, slowly applying pressure.

The doll's face began to tear apart, and countless black mycelia clung to the split doll's face, swallowing the small photo inside. Shen Yuan's photo, on the other hand, was "spit out" by the doll.

Just like changing discs on a DVD player.

Shen Xing brought out the DV camera, turned it on, and pointed the lens at [02—the doll].

A clearer, grainy face with pigtails appeared in the DV camera's view, even clearer than the original photo.

Shen Xing withdrew his left hand and made a choking motion in the air.

After a series of screen flickering, the "child" in the DV camera turned back into an ordinary doll.

It turns out I have to pinch it a bit to make it remember who I am.

Shen Xing put down the DV camera, locked the doors and windows, returned to the doll, and took off his pants.
