It was a rather messy pile of burning products, and its original shape was no longer recognizable, though it didn't have anything to call "shape" in the first place.

The inside is burned out, the outer carbon shell collapses, and it collapses into a substance that can only be described as a "heap", and it is an inappropriate analogy to boil an egg without water, and you find it too late.

Stepping over the burning black shards all over the ground, bypassing the charcoal that still had small flames bursting out, the soles of his shoes were burned hot by the residual heat of the ground.

The air was still a little grainy, and the dust from the burning floated erratically, and Kraft pulled one collar over his mouth and nose, and came to the large mass of coke that was still emitting black smoke, and used his sword to open a small piece of the charred shell.

This is probably the original layer of tissue with a relatively large thickness, the core has not had time to shrink when burning, and a considerable amount of water and a bit of the original structure are retained, and the combustion is not sufficient, and even has an isolation effect, but it is meaningless in terms of results.

The fragments of bone that had been seen had lost their support and had fallen into the pile of debris, piling up with other messy things, making it difficult to distinguish them, and there was a feeling that they had no way to start.

Kraft lit another candlestick, held it aside, and pulled the remains between the remains of the body and the ashes with two small pieces of wood that had just been smashed by it, doubting that there would be any valuable clues in it.

"Tsk."

made a disgusted voice, no matter how you look at this thing, it shouldn't be his business.

Yes, he did participate in dissection and learned about burns, but no one had taught him how to deal with burns to this extent.

If the classmates from the police university next door had come over to help, maybe there would have been hope. In his eyes, it was just a perfect cremation that could be boxed up with a little more mashing. Well, a big box is needed.

Forced by the situation, Kraft decided to make a temporary cameo as an archaeologist, slowly cleaning things out of the ashes and rearranging them.

I found a relatively thin part-time brush for wood chips, and the cleaning began.

The first to be removed is the thin shell formed by the clumping of soft tissue, which is not difficult to distinguish, after all, there is no loose internal structure like bone tissue on its broken section, and it can be easily sorted out and piled out in a single column.

Kraft didn't have the desire to put together like a jigsaw puzzle, just put it aside. I've tasted enough of its silhouette, and I'm not a biologist myself, so there's no need to do it again.

These shattered shells form the main part of the top layer, and when completely cleaned, it really enters the nightmarish internal structure.

Buried in the loose ashes is a hodgepodge of trunk bones and various bone fragments.

Many of the irregular bone fragments were embedded in the outer surface while they were still alive, and they were discarded, indiscriminately growing parts like the distorted facial features, and the provenance is no longer verifiable, and only a few pieces of the iconic structure can only be studied.

Superman's memory helped a lot, picking out two seemingly unrelated bones from the arrangement that had been placed outwards in order.

When angled, their cross-sided bone beams can barely fit together to form a bony structure that is close to arch.

He put the two bones under the candlelight and looked at them again, ruling out the misjudgment caused by the poor lighting, and the credible fit helped him confirm the inspiration just now.

"Zygomatic arch? What kind of zygomatic bow is this? ”

This is a more characteristic sign. If you touch it along the ear hole, you can easily find a prominent protruding bone beam, spanning half of the side of the face. It is actually made up of a union of two parts of the facial bones, the zygomatic process of the temporal bone and the temporal process of the zygomatic bone.

It also means that the two skulls in the hand have been separated, and the shape has changed dramatically when placed in two positions far away, leaving only this sign that has not been removed.

Following this line of thought, Kraft continued to search, abandoning the overall form and instead focusing on finding special signs in the bone fragments, and soon figured out a lot of intriguing things. The closer you get to the interior, the more pronounced the morphology of the bone fragments found.

As we went deeper, we found not only skulls that were close to their original shapes, but also large batches of vertebrae that were turned out by the joints.

The first time it was one or two sections, which went unnoticed, and then a few more pieces were found on the opposite side, and it was no longer an incident. Kraft didn't move them, and continued to clean them up, peeling off the debris and ash more carefully to keep them from being crooked.

The area of cleaning expands from the inside out, and a certain regular arrangement is revealed, and these vertebrae are not randomly stuffed in, they are numerous and scattered in each direction, roughly radiating.

In general, several vertebrae are found medially, with the thoracic vertebrae being the most distributed in the central ring, and the lumbar vertebrae with wide short-leg spinous processes outward.

In terms of numbers alone, it is impossible for them to come from the same vertebrae, and the overly regular distribution leads Kraft to believe that they were once intact, and that there could have been several spine that matched real anatomy before they atrophied and burned.

Has the spinal cord ever passed through the spinal canal protected by a ring of cone holes?

Depending on the pattern of the vertebral arrangement, the spinal cord may be present that extends outward from the center, and the protruding nerves are used to control the peripheral brachiopod movement structures, which are mainly organized by long bones.

If you have never seen the original appearance of the dense distribution of bones, you will definitely make the judgment that this is a mixture of several human bones, and then be shocked by this fused form.

Its use of human structures is far beyond Kraft's imagination, far beyond the peripheral part, and may even involve the central nervous system. If you think about it, it is also very reasonable, take the same set of nervous tissue to control the same locomotor system, and the original soup is the original food.

Since the spinal cord can be arranged outwards to control the wrist and foot supported by the long bones of the limbs, wouldn't it make sense to speculate the structure inward?

The further inward he went, the more regular skull fragments, the source pointing to the central spine, all brought him closer to an unbelievable inference.

【Skull, Center】

The spinal cord alone is a place where the low-level reflex center cannot command so many wrists and feet, and it is enough to have reflexes, of course, it must be equipped with a corresponding structure of dominating effect to dominate the entire body.

It seems like a ...... Head?

Once an idea is generated, everything seems to fall into place.

It is not an organism that develops from an embryo, and the process of producing the parts and developing them separately does not make sense.

It is as if overgrown tissue gushes out of the center, growing outward in a frenzied disorder, tearing the half-formed skull and expanding directly, building the spine in all directions in preparation for the emergence of the locomotor system, and finally twisting the limbs into brachiopods, which are connected to the center by each spinal cord alone.

In the search for the core, this speculation was confirmed by more vertebrae, which were of various types, and Kraft even found a vertebrae with an unfused sacral vertebrae, which is usually only found in teenagers, while most of the other vertebrae had ended in a single sacrum.

It shows that their developmental order is also different, and the large and small brachiopods are issued in order. After the molding, there is still a new direction to try to grow new wrist feet.

Infinite growth destroys the central area that is supposed to form the cranial face. The excessive brachial foot extracted squeezed out the normal flesh and bone fragments, and each extra piece made it swell outwards by one point, and finally even the skin could not cover the whole thing, turning into a mass sarcoma.

The singled out craniofacial skeletons spread out in several large circles around Kraft, and they were repeatedly created to stop this trend, and the new wrists and feet that continued to be ejected were unstoppable, shaping the skull into its present form in endless destruction and reshaping.

"It's horrible." This scene bears a striking resemblance to what Kraft knew of cancer cells, desperately growing outward, pushing open and compressing normal tissue until it deformed and atrophied, and its original form was completely invisible.

The difference between brachiopods and brachiopods is that they can maintain their regular growth in the incomprehensible infinite proliferation, and the two are contradictory.

【Source】

Kraft threw away the small pieces of wood and took his sword and plunged it diagonally, shoveling away the pile of ash and bones.

He had had enough of these things, and his intuition told him that the center must have a special meaning, that it could explain it, that it was the source of the things that released the wriggling.

Shoveling another piece open, it seemed to be closer, the spine here had gathered to the point of huddle together, and there were at least a dozen of them burrowing inward around the center point.

The size of the vertebrae itself limits their density, and at this amount, the cervical vertebrae cannot be full, and the space of the first few pieces must be given up to make room for the center, which is not much smaller.

"Boom." The sword slammed against the flat bone plate, a parietal bone that had become almost the same as normal, and the vertebrae continued to converge downward around it, becoming denser and denser, the spinous processes interlaced, the space becoming narrower and narrower, and the unburned ligaments weaving into a network.

An inexplicable feeling of dizziness and nausea came up, a sense of oscillation, carried up and down by the waves in the water, top-heavy.

Like a precursor to falling or rising, disrupting his movements. The wreckage in front of me didn't seem to be dead, the dead spine was entangled and twisted with each other, pretending to be the way it was alive, and for a while there was an illusion of re-facing the wrists and feet full of vision, and there was no change when I looked at it again.

The blade of the sword thrust through the gap, prying open the guy in the way, revealing the contents.

The extension of all the vertebrae ends at this position, and there is not a single vertebra beyond that, and the first few pieces of the cervical vertebrae do not exist.

They were surprisingly consistent in the terminating segments, the particularly weak cervical vertebrae, with an eerie comical smile on the cross-section, stacked on top of each other.

This sinister image is painted on the last page of "The Structure of the Human Body", and Edward, who is inseparable from the fake, signs it. The same symbols appeared in that deviant old book, in which the professor was feverishly immersed.

【Fifth cervical vertebrae】

In the midst of a large number of vertebrae and smiles, the center that dominates this malicious body is systematically reduced to a black and white unspeakable substance, which is dispersed and evaporated from the pores, leaving only shrunken fragments.

A creature that is by no means the form of a biological organization lies quietly at the bottom, and the illusion of oscillating ups and downs is further enhanced.
