Starting with dissecting ghost stories

Chapter 88 Stirring up the seawater makes it muddy

Two lacerations appeared on both sides of Shen Xing's buttocks.

The tear penetrated the skin and fat layer, exposing the bright red muscle inside and the white fascia attached to it.

His goal is to minimize the impact on the gluteus maximus while maximizing safety.

The whitish fascia was torn open, but Shen Xing didn't feel much abnormality. However, the muscles connected to the fascia were gradually stretched and torn apart by the abnormal flesh.

A sharp pain shot through me.

Shen Xing raised his head slightly, panting, until two scarlet muscles were completely squeezed out and wrapped in blood before being handed to Shen Xing. Only then did the tear in his buttocks close.

Inside Shen Xing's body, the gluteus maximus muscle, which was originally wrapped in fascia, had a gap. However, a large amount of abnormal flesh and blood quickly filled that place, taking over the function of the gluteus maximus muscle and constantly creating new muscles for repair.

The warmth slowly masked the pain.

Shen Xing walked limpingly to the suitcase and threw the bloody muscle directly into the mouth of [02—Doll].

The moment the doll's face touched the flesh, it remained motionless, seemingly completely uninterested in the flesh.

Shen Xing held the camera and aimed it at the doll, noticing that grayish snowflakes had appeared on its body and were frantically dancing on its face.

Shen Xing stretched out his left hand and snapped his fingers.

【02—Doll】As if it had received a feeding command, its face was torn open inside the DV camera, and its crimson flesh was swallowed by its huge mouth. A large number of black mycelium-like objects were waving around, as if they were jumping for joy.

Inside the camera, the doll, now transformed into a little girl in a dress, sat up directly inside the suitcase. It looked up at Shen Xing expressionlessly, stuck out its tongue, licked its lips, and then slowly opened its mouth.

"tasty."

The voice rang directly in Shen Xing's brain, making him feel a slight discomfort and causing him to frown slightly.

It wasn't that the voice had any effect on his mind, but rather that it reminded him of some things.

That was very close to Shen Xing's voice when he was a child, but more feminine. However, his tone was exactly the same as his own when he was a child and had not yet learned how to speak with emotion from his father—cold and stiff.

Hearing this sound reminded Shen Xing of his immature, bratty self back then, and he felt an urge to make it shut up immediately.

【02—Puppet】gained the ability to think and speak, and it was Shen Xing's own.

Holding up the DV camera, Shen Xing asked directly, "What does 1+1 equal?"

The girl in the picture looked up at Shen Xing and said coldly, "2."

"3+3?"

"6.

""

"12345 multiplied by 54321?"

"I don't have a calculator, so I don't know." The girl in the picture looked at Shen Xing, her tone not impatient, but rather mature beyond her years, as she answered the question honestly.

The contrast between this maturity and indifference on a little girl's face is rather unsettling.

Shen Xing then asked a lot more questions, including how long these two pieces of meat could maintain its current shape, to which it answered fluently.

The two pieces of meat, along with the mismatched face, didn't allow it to acquire much of Shen Xing's memory, but it did inherit Shen Xing's thought process, enabling it to answer questions fluently based on its own situation.

Their intellectual level is not much different from that of a seven- or eight-year-old child.

However, this is not considered intelligence; it will be gradually consumed. As the flesh and blood are slowly digested, it will solidify a very small habit and memory, but the overall intelligence will decline significantly.

If you really want to completely solidify Shen Xing's thought patterns and intelligence level, you'd probably have to feed him a lot of meat... even chopping up a hundred Shen Xings wouldn't be enough.

At the same time, Shen Xing also discovered a previous misconception.

He previously thought that [02—Doll] would only gain the corresponding memories and be able to mimic the face that matched the specific flesh and blood after devouring it.

But now it seems that simulating faces and forms is just the basic ability of [02 - Doll]. Eating meat is not to obtain the memories inside, but to digest and then solidify the thought patterns and behavioral habits of these flesh and blood owners.

If fed enough flesh and blood of the same person, it can eventually evolve into a pseudo-human with the same way of thinking and intelligence as that person, and whose face can be changed at will.

In other words, if Shen Xing continues to feed it like this, it will become a pseudo-human version of Shen Xing.

If he continues to raise him like this, he will definitely become a menace—Shen Xing was quite self-aware.

Moreover, Shen Xing doesn't like having someone with the same way of thinking around him, which means that no matter what he's thinking, the other person is very likely to guess it.

This is something Shen Xing finds hard to accept.

We need to find other ways to give it intelligence, and it must be something we can control.

Afterwards, Shen Xing asked [02—Puppet] some other questions.

Shen Xing's flesh and blood seemed to activate the puppet's mind and awaken some of its remaining memories. It could accurately point out the location of Fruit Street by looking at the city map that Shen Xing had laid out.

Shen Xing's two pieces of flesh can keep it "on" for about 12 hours.

His abnormally enhanced flesh and blood seemed to provide much more nourishment to [02—Puppet] than to an ordinary person; eating half a person didn't sustain Shen Xing's two pieces of muscle for as long.

Moreover, if they continue to be fed abnormal flesh and blood, they can maintain their energy for a certain period of time, allowing their thinking and intelligence to decline more slowly.

Shen Xing opened his satchel, took out two paintings, one of a heart and the other of a kidney, and directly extracted the flesh and blood from them, feeding them to [02—the doll].

These two pieces of flesh and blood extend its cognitive decline cycle to 48 hours, allowing it to remain "on" for a week.

I wonder if directly taking a picture of my own flesh and blood after it's been gutted, letting [01-Wall] activate it, and then feeding it to it would directly give me the combined effect of feeding myself flesh and blood and abnormal flesh and blood.

If possible, all I need to do is find a suitable person who will listen to me, cut open their skin and film the muscles inside, and I can reproduce indefinitely, eventually raising a pseudo-human with a similar personality.

If you cut open the mycelium of [02—Puppet], can you still retain its activity? If you can cut it open and culture it separately... you can grow a lot of helpers yourself.

However, this process will definitely be long, and it is unknown whether the activation and resonance ability of [01-Wall] will ever be exhausted.

Shen Xing had the doll return to its place in the suitcase, keeping it in a dormant state, then zipped up the suitcase and locked it.

Shen Xing himself took off his clothes and recorded his entire body with a DV camera. Only after making sure that his body was free of noise due to injury did he put on his clothes, pick up his bag, and prepare to go to the school clinic to fully activate the internal organs, blood vessels, and nerves in the remaining drawings.

This is a necessary condition for achieving resonance throughout the body's flesh and organs.

Shen Xing also took out the abnormal kidney that was locked in the drawer, wrapped it in newspaper, and stuffed it into his satchel.

He couldn't guarantee that [02—Puppet] wouldn't directly steal and eat his abnormal kidney.

This afternoon, after activating all the drawings... we need to set a date for the full-body implantation.

This may be the most dangerous evolution he has ever faced.

Moreover, once it starts, there's no turning back.

The resonance of his muscles had previously granted him the power to control abnormal flesh and blood, allowing him to tear open his skin at will and reveal a terrifying form.

And the muscles, internal organs, blood vessels throughout the body...

Almost all the abnormal flesh and blood, except for the brain and bones, fused with the original flesh and blood within the body, completing a phase transition...

Shen Xing didn't know what abilities he would gain.

What will I eventually become?
