Three people.

Two guards guarding the front door, and one other standing in front of the corpse, was supposed to be an autopsy.

The microwave vision feeds back the information to Hodge, who is crouching in the corner by the window, carefully holding his breath.

The bodies were eventually moved here, in a hut on the east side of the lower town of Stone Fort, where there were almost no civilians living nearby, and not far from here was a military camp in the castle.

Luckily, the hut was set up outside the barracks, and there weren't too many soldiers left behind, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to sneak into the heavily guarded camp.

It seems that even the top brass of the Stone Fort army didn't want too many soldiers to know about the corpse......

Sure enough, there are oddities.

He climbed the stone bricks of the window eaves, and cautiously leaned out into the room, just in time to see the people inside wearing gloves made of fish maw, placing a whole row of dissecting knives on the plates beside them, and placing the sarza on the four corners of the bed, the cloth was very transparent, although it must be blurred, but not so that it could not be seen clearly.

Veteran anatomist.

Hodge made a judgment in an instant, his own knowledge of anatomy was already very deep, and although he often used the habitual wild way of doing it himself, after all, he was limited by the fact that the conditions were not as perfect as the books recorded, but this did not prevent him from understanding how to carry out a clever and rigorous anatomy.

As the doctor in the room did, knives, the environment, disinfectants, and stable hands are all indispensable.

He noticed that the arm in which the doctor picked up the knife behind the curtain was quite stable, almost perfectly controlling his muscles and nerves, without even the slightest tremor, which had nothing to do with knowledge and talent, but was purely the result of accumulated experience, and it was clear that the doctor had been immersed in anatomy for a long time.

The doctor took the knife and slashed diagonally along the corpse's scarred skin.

No blood is coming out.

Hodge felt that something was wrong, even if the blood would not flow out after cutting through the body because he had been dead for a long time, but there was no blood on the blade that cut into the body.

Unless- the corpse's blood has been completely drained, leaving shriveled organs, skin, and bones.

The doctor pondered for a moment, and seemed to think it was too strange, and after a few circles around the corpse, he made a second cut.

With the swing of his skillful blade, the skin of the corpse quickly separated from the flesh and bones, neatly rolled aside, the first to be dissected were the hands, the holes were only in the flesh, and did not penetrate the bones, and other than that, the arms were not abnormal, and then he dissected the legs, chest, and abdomen one by one.

Eventually, the blade of his knife stopped as he slipped open the muscles in his abdomen, and he reached out his hands and plunged into the corpse's stomach, and Hodge could clearly hear the muddy sound of his arm stirring in the flesh outside the window, and it seemed that the doctor had a lot of effort to pull out the anomaly in his abdomen.

It was a spherical object with a black-brown shell.

The doctor took out a sharp chisel and struck it into the crack of the body, carefully removing the sphere along the edge of the shell and spreading it out on the wooden table next to it.

From this angle, Hodge's vision could no longer see what was in the open sphere.

The autopsy grabbed a handful of the contents of the shell and whispered, "That's what killed him?

Hodge squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the doctor's palm, which was holding in the palm of his hand, as if - was the shell of many eggs?

"Why do the eggshells of the Grey Fireflies accumulate in this?"

The scene in front of him even subverted the common sense of the anatomist, you must know that the gray fireflies, which like to burrow into the human skin to lay eggs, often only lay one egg at a time, and it is close to the location where it burrows into the skin, even if it is attacked by multiple gray fireflies, the eggs left in the body should be distributed everywhere.

But the current situation is that the eggs of the gray fireflies are concentrated in the abdominal cavity of the corpse, and even further, countless eggs have accumulated in the shell that resembles an oversized worm egg.

At this time, the eggs in the spherical shell have only shells left, and countless gray fireflies have already broken out of their shells, no wonder there are such dense small holes on the surface of the corpse, which happens to be the size of the juvenile gray fireflies, this corpse is actually the countless small insects that broke out of the shell and drilled countless small holes from the body and died.

This way of dying is simply terrible.

And where are the gray fireflies that have broken out of their shells? I'm afraid these bugs are no longer as simple as ordinary larvae, if you don't tell Thorthy and Dunbar soon...... The doctor's face suddenly turned cold, and he put the eggs back into the shell and quickly took off the fish maw gloves.

Hodge also changed, and the moment the doctor placed the eggs on the table, his vision could clearly see that several of the tiny eggs were rising in temperature.

Not all of the eggs of the gray fireflies have been broken!

There are also bugs that have not yet been born, and they are breaking their shells!

"Be careful!" he shouted to the house, ignoring the danger of revealing his identity.

The doctor looked at the window in surprise, and as soon as he looked up, the eggs on the table clicked, and a black shadow suddenly tensed up, directly into the position of his neck.

"What's going on!"

The front door was slammed open, and the two soldiers at the door heard Hodge's shouts.

Bang!

Two more black shadows penetrated the soldier's body the moment the door opened.

"Uh...... Belch. The three of them covered the wound that the insect had penetrated, and the look in their eyes gradually faded.

Hodge was too late to stop it, the attack of the gray fireflies broke out of the shell happened too quickly, and it was not even a blink of an eye, he could only watch the three of them kneel on the ground, and at the location of their wounds, the blood vessels and nerves rapidly expanded, supporting the outer skin, which looked extremely terrifying.

These swollen blood vessels rapidly expanded to the periphery, and soon enveloped the entire body, looking like the blood vessels turned into hemp ropes to tie people up, the swollen blood vessels kept swallowing, and the color of the skin of the three people quickly began to turn pale from normal ruddy, which was a manifestation of the blood gradually being drained.

Hodge suddenly thought of a possibility, and was so shocked that he almost couldn't close his mouth.

Blood is an excellent nutrient, and insect creatures suck on nutrients for a single purpose.

These gray fireflies actually use living people as nests and reproduce in their bodies!

The soldier's and doctor's bellies swelled rapidly.

Hodge heard a pop, like a sturdy balloon that had been punctured through countless small holes, and instead of bursting, it quickly released gas outward.

Buzz.

Countless small holes quickly appeared in the bodies of the three of them, and swarms of gray fireflies raged out of their bodies, and the black pressure was almost full of narrow houses.

How can it be.

Three gray fireflies actually bred nearly 10,000 larvae?

And this process is inevitably too short, a few breaths of time, huge reproduction has been completed?

Hodge couldn't think anymore.

Because the insect tide had discovered his presence, the vibrating thin wings surged in the direction of the window.
