"That thing? What thing? ….. Wait a minute, you mean … that thing that Manstein brought out? "
"Well," Koran nodded with a wry smile. "The heretics seem to consecrate this thing but I don’t even know what it is."
"How can this thing run to your body? Did you … did you eat it? " Hound DengYuan eyes fixedly staring at Koran belly.
"No … it was the time to fight against Ziyan …" Kelan held out his left hand, but now there is no trace in his palm. "Those black liquids spewing out of the meat tube contaminated my hand. I think that’s when it got into my palm with these liquids, but the problem is that I didn’t feel anything at that time and I couldn’t find the wound in the palm."
"In your palm?" The hound grabbed Kelan’s palm without hesitation, and carefully pressed Kelan’s palm. "Why can’t you touch anything?"
"That’s what bothers me the most … I’m going to have an operation to take that thing out after I come out, but it seems to wander around me. I don’t know where this thing is, so I’m going to just do a body scan."
"Although my clinic can’t do it now, I know a friend," Ivan said. "Like me, he is also a part-time hunter with a private clinic. He just went out to explore the ruins these days. His clinic also has class C equipment besides light."
"But he’s out of his clinic. How are you going to get in?" Asked the hound
"He entrusted his clinic to me before he went out this time. This is the key card." Ivan took out a card from his pocket. "He posted my contact information at the door of the clinic. Although there are usually no patients going to see him at this time, in case of injury or recurrence, the patient can get it with one hand."
Ivan played the card and continued, "After all, I often exchange medical skills and research experience with him. I am the person who knows the situation of his patients best except himself. It is better to come to me if you want to see another doctor."
"That line you hurriedly take Kelan in the past … don’t then that thing ran to what surgery can’t take out the key place is in trouble!" The hound quickly said
……
Soon Kelan and Ivan went back to the car together with their assistant Natasha-Kelan plans to scan the position of the crystal and if it meets the surgical conditions, then big sleep will be operated immediately.
Ivan’s friend’s clinic is located in the North Fourth District. In order to reduce the possibility of being tracked, Ke Lan first stopped by the "raven black market" where anonymous credit cards are traded. The three of them split up. Ivan and Natasha went to buy a batch of tools and consumables needed for surgery, while Ke Lan got an inconspicuous second-hand hovercraft.
In hounds’ words, the military vehicle is really conspicuous. Even if Kelan gives all the communication equipment and positioning devices to each row, the license plate number will be recorded when passing through an intersection with surveillance cameras, and it will be traced back to Kelan where they went and what they did. It is easy to find out that there are no secrets.
The armored air cushion vehicle was lost in a small roadside near the raven black market, and three people arrived at the clinic in the North Fourth District with their new cars. As Ivan said, the door of the clinic was closed, and the notice of suspension of business was posted at the end, leaving Ivan’s way.
"Hurry up," Ivan’s key card hit the clinic door. "If that thing swims, it is likely to enter your blood vessel … If it enters your heart with blood, it will be in big trouble."
In fact, the heart is not the worst. Actually, you can’t just remove the whole heart and replace it with an artificial one. But if it gets into your brain, there is no substitute for it.
However, when Ivan Guang and Pole C respectively gave Kelan a body scan, they found that Kelan’s body root did not find any foreign body!
"So it’s missing?" Koran Ivan looked at the screen image beside him and frowned.
"No, there’s still a place I haven’t looked for." Ivan shook his head with a dignified look. "It may hide your digestive system mixed with food residue and feces … from now on, when you have to go without food and water for a while, I’ll make a detailed examination by gastroscope and enteroscope again."
"If you can’t find words …" Ivan didn’t go on, but the conclusion was self-evident.
Chapter two hundred and twenty Honesty
"Is it possible … that thing has left your body without your awareness?" Ivan suddenly said
"No … I can feel it …" Kelan wants to say that it is hiding in a corner of his body, but he thinks this statement doesn’t seem accurate. "It doesn’t seem to be very strange … It seems to have established a wonderful connection with me. I can feel this connection but I can locate it specifically …"
Koran said suddenly fell silent for a long time before slowly spitting out a sentence "it seems to dissolve my body"
"Don’t rule out this possibility," Ivan frowned. "There are many kinds of crystal substances that can be dissolved in blood … Who can determine its properties before analyzing that thing? It makes sense that Manstein swallowed the crystal after it was wrapped with a protective substance."
He twisted the hip flask, looked up and took a swig, and then said, "What you said in the Iron Maiden is that black viscous liquid looks like oil, so let’s assume that some oily substance is better. Many crystals that can be dissolved in water are dissolved in oil. The most famous one is sodium chloride crystals, but this is just speculation … Alas, if only some samples could be left."
"Is there anything abnormal in your body, then?" Listening to the conversation between the two people all the time, Natasha suddenly said, "It is reasonable to say that when the dose of a compound dissolved in the blood is large enough, the human body will react accordingly. Are you aware of these changes?"
"Physical changes … to be honest, I didn’t notice."
"But after that crystal entered my body, I accidentally gained an ability, a very strange ability."
After much thinking, Koran decided to tell them about it.
"Besides, there’s one thing I haven’t told you …"
Before this, Kelan had been hiding it because he was afraid of being treated as an alien by others, and because of these secrets, his teammates suffered an accident … But now it seems that continuing to hide it will bring more misunderstanding and trouble.
These teammates are people who deserve their lives, and there is no reason not to trust them.
……
Three hours later, Koran, Ivan and Natasha returned to their safe house, and as soon as they entered the door, they immediately called everyone over.
"I don’t trust all the monitoring equipment in the house, and I let Leighton check it four or five times repeatedly, even without missing the toilet channel." The hound said with a dignified look. "Kelan, you said … you have always kept one thing from us. What is it?"
"Old dog, let me ask you something first. What would you think of me if I were a monster?" Kelan sink a way
"Are you sure you’re not kidding?" The hound frowned and stared at it.
"No" Koran slowly shook his head.
The two men looked at each other for more than ten seconds, but the hound suddenly "poof" laughed. "Haha … so what if you are a monster?"
The hound continued, "Ivan’s body is still lurking with eroded cells. If the stalagmite fragments are removed from his body, he may lose control and become a mass of tentacles at any time. Do you think he is a monster? 70% of Leighton’s parts are iron bumps, and there is more oil in the pipe than blood. Do you think he is a monster? And … "
His voice suddenly became a little low. "And Liao Lang … he crawled out of the waste water tank alive, and his hard skin couldn’t even penetrate us. Who did he think of him as a monster?"
He suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed to his head. "Whether you are a human or a monster depends on your own thoughts."
……
"I used to feel like a monster, too." Sitting in the corner, Asano made a debut. He put his knee on the blade and suddenly made a sound. "But then I realized that this is an ability."
"Thank you" Kelan was silent for a long time to suppress such two words.
