When turning the next page, instead of anatomical drawings, there are some familiar patterns.

Countless hexagons spread across the entire sheet, even beyond the edges, and smeared onto the adjacent pages, stretching lines that seem to be a misty glow, or a swimming whisker and webbed, taking over the view.

"We were standing in the dark, and there was a loud sound of water in front of us, but those sounds became clearer and clearer as the light came on, and then I saw the thing." The hand holding the pen trembled slightly, making the words beat irregularly.

"No, I didn't see it, but I did 'see' it, right down there."

Countless thoughts erupted in his mind, forming a mass of adjective-filled sentences, which were then crossed out and blacked out in length. He got the answer, understood something, and seemed to understand nothing.

A glimpse of the behemoth changes the mind completely, and its image swims from the waters into the mind, occupying all the space in this limited spiritual world.

In the pale light, he felt that the implant under the skin had become a medium for him to connect and resonate, transmitting pure information in a way that did not need to be translated.

【Pain】

It was as if it had been imprisoned for countless years in a place as thin as paper, and the fiery pain was like a high heat conducting along the metal, melting the wax of consciousness into a flowing formless, injecting a new mold into a new form. Just like its fragments, it reshapes the bioform.

When one's own pain resonates with that extreme and prolonged pain, the derivative of this pain is also given to the recipient.

It was a burning desire to tear apart this world and return somewhere.

This pain is derived from longing, catalyzed by the intrinsic properties of the implant, into an unheard of phenomenon.

The space is torn apart like a canvas, cutting a slender and sharp rift.

In the close contact resonance, he shared the will of that existence, as well as a little bonus.

The so-called miraculous repair effect is only the most superficial effect of the fragment, and it solves the temporary pain of the body.

But the pain is endless, and even if it is partially solved today through surgical progress, it is still a drop in the bucket, because the consciousness that is placed on the body is the greatest pain in this world.

And he had learned the ultimate solution—to join its return until he reached the source that was not of this world.

"I see." He had no more doubts, like a steadfast believer who had received an oracle and was convinced that the great cause of eternity would be accomplished in his own hands.

The leader of the small group, his beloved guide smiled with satisfaction and came up to hug him and welcome him as a true new member.

"We will heal all sicknesses, and we are righteous people who walk on the earth."

The author put aside the surgical problem and returned to the anatomical work, and the new anatomy atlas was updated daily in the booklet.

A large number of plausible structures have been recorded, as if they were secondary creations based on the human body, adding undesirable parts to the original foundation.

On a figure identified as an adult male, Kraft saw fifteen thoracic vertebrae and seven lumbar vertebrae, with the extra five vertebrae forming a new physiological curve that appeared unusually flexible.

The corresponding rib cage is elongated, and the left lung in the rib cage has an additional horizontal fissure beyond the oblique fissure, giving it an extra lobe. An overdeveloped diaphragm suggests that he may be able to compensate for the limited capacity of the respiratory muscles after the expansion of lung volume by abdominal breathing.

Some structures regress and return to a state of growth and development, which also means that they are more unstable.

If that's any indication of what's going on, some of them are completely unreasonable, almost a pure concoction of tissue, and you can find anything in them, as well as the kind of fragments.

The dark, white shards were the same as those planted under his skin.

As for the source, he called it "sent from below", most of them are in a state where it is "difficult to tell the time of death", and they have been dead for a long time, but they have maintained their basic form and resilience.

This, coupled with the high toughness of soft tissues adapted to structural deviation, requires specially tailored instrument treatment.

After a large number of dissections, several general conclusions were drawn: firstly, this fragment has a fairly good compatibility with the human body, and will not cause inflammation and necrosis of the implantation site like other foreign bodies, but will promote growth.

The second conclusion is that the fundamental purpose of all the manifestations of this thing is to facilitate proliferation and aggregation. Depending on the need, it will have two states: one is to develop the existing anatomy so that it can perform more intensive activities to ensure survival, and it is difficult to imagine what this tendency will eventually look like.

The second is to quickly drain the water and some vitality when the lodger dies, forming an amorphous mass of primitive biomass around itself, waiting for the moment to grab new nutrients like an embryo that will prey on its own.

This is the most suitable time for proliferation and aggregation, as it will directly assimilate the organisms it comes into contact with and grow indefinitely.

In addition, the record repeatedly mentions "previous attempts" and praised them as excellent verification. A group of people who preceded them had tried to extract unnatural powers from it, leaving the ruins behind and giving the white fragment a name:

【Moon Remains】

At first, they thought that the legacy of their ancestors had been buried in the coffin, until several cases of missing specimen collectors realized that they were not the only ones moving around.

The trouble is that as their activity increases, the best of their previous attempts is becoming more and more active.

He tried to deal with it in that way, but soon realized that cutting was useless for something that didn't have a fixed form, and instead spurred it to take the initiative to hunt.

The accident killed nearly half of the people who were moving in the labyrinth, and it finally stopped in front of the corridor.

Due to various considerations, they finally decided not to remove this thing, and even artificially lured it out through high-intensity "spellcasting" behavior if necessary, to solve some of the troubles that came to them.

It turned out to be a bad idea, and the overactivation of the ability directly caused the black salt embedded in the arm to inhibit tissue proliferation to melt directly into activated black liquor, which flowed backwards down the vein for a cycle.

The extremely strong inhibitory effect directly leads to a number of physiological suffocating reactions, including but not limited to bradycardia, respiratory depression, and vascular smooth muscle relaxation leading to a rapid decrease in relative blood volume.

To put it simply, before the black liquor exerts the effect of pulling the person into the depths from the spirit to the body, the person is already dead.

This also proves that their application is still in the early stages, and they have no understanding of the limits of their abilities.

But the trouble he caused before his death was real, and it was theorized that the massive mass of chaos could devour any armed force within the realm of common sense.

Until the end of the note, he continued to try to balance the amount of implants.

For now, he believes that the maximum load on the human body will not exceed the size of two fingers, and no matter how large it is, it will directly cause a loss of mental control, which is calculated according to one of their colleagues who has gone farther, and he has not seen this person for some time.

Others, including his guiding mentor, have long been gone.

"They go down, I'll finish the finishing touches, may they succeed."

"We came a little late, but not too late, to find out what they had left." Kraft closed the booklet and stood still waiting for the others to disperse, showing Green the black liquid he had taken from the incision.

He swept over the remains in front of him with his special senses, there was no trace of the spirit body in it, as if it had been completely consumed, "Good news, I seem to know the reason why the production of that magical anesthetic is so limited." ”
