Pollution throughout the territory - #226 - Chapter 223 Parasite
Seeing Liu Xiuxiu’s huge reaction, Zhao Tianliang and Zhao Rou were also very curious as to what Xia Ren was going to take out next.
When the door closed, Xia Ren took a deep breath and held it in.
Zhao Tianliang subconsciously held his breath and stared closely at the movements in his hands when he saw him slowly take out something from his trouser pocket.
Then the palms of his hands opened, and a coin-like object with a bronze color and a diameter of about three centimeters was displayed in front of their father and daughter. On the top of the coin, there was a pattern of a five-pointed star engraved, with one eye in the middle open, clearly It was just a carved pattern, but Zhao Tianliang always felt as if the eyes were real, quietly staring at everything in the room.
“This thing is…”
Zhao Tianliang couldn’t help but ask.
Xia Ren squinted his eyes slightly. Although this old seal did not have as great an impact on him as it did at first, it was still just as disgusting to hold in his hand.
He didn’t answer the question, holding the old seal and walking towards Zhao Rou.
Inexplicably, Zhao Rou also felt a sickening feeling of disgust, and subconsciously wanted to stay away.
Xia Ren took a step forward, and she supported the bed and stepped back a few times.
Xia Ren continued to move forward, and she continued to retreat.
“…” Xia Ren.
He finally forced the opponent to the wall, with no way to retreat.
Zhao Tianliang watched this funny scene from the side. If he hadn’t been at the scene, he would have thought that Xia Ren was holding a machete in his hand.
“nausea……”
Zhao Rou said weakly, trying to get Xia Ren to take the thing farther away.
“Take it!”
Xia Ren wanted to fight quickly, so he grabbed her arm and forced the old seal into her hand.
“Hold tight!”
Zhao Rou wanted to resist. Although the coin was made of metal, it had a strange warm and sticky texture in her hand. She subconsciously thought of the most filthy thing she had ever seen, so she struggled hard to get rid of the coin. Throw it out, but Xia Ren’s strength is great, and his generous palm wraps her hand from the outside, holding it firmly, not allowing her to make any other movements.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he stretched out his tentacles and inserted them into Zhao Rou’s head from the Tianling Gai again. It must be that the old seal had taken effect. The faint smell of pollution disappeared. As the tentacles continued to go down, the tumor seemed to shrink. Some, and became extremely quiet, and the existence of life that I felt before seemed to be hidden.
However, when he tried to touch it with his tentacles, the tumor suddenly resisted again!
“Chi——”
From inside the tumor, a tiny, insect-like chirp came out, full of menace.
At the same time, the tip of the tentacle, where it was in contact with the tumor, seemed to be stung by something. The unbearable pain was instantly transmitted to Xia Ren’s mind through the nerves, causing his body to be temporarily paralyzed, and his palms could not move. Consciously let go.
Jiuyin slipped onto the bed, and Xia Ren took half a step back. Because his body coordination had not yet recovered, he almost fell to the ground.
“Are you OK?”
Zhao Tianliang hurried over to support him and asked with concern.
Xia Ren shook his head, the tip of the tentacle was still in pain, and he had to put it away temporarily.
“fine.”
Looking up at Zhao Rou, the latter’s eyes were a little confused, as if she didn’t know what had just happened. It seemed that the old seal had worked, temporarily minimizing the impact of the tumor without harming her body.
“The situation is troublesome.”
Xia Ren looked solemn, calmed his breathing, picked up the old seal, and put it back into the system.
Although the contact just now was only for a moment, it was enough for him to judge that this was not a simple tumor, but something similar to a parasite.
The most troublesome thing is that this parasite also has the ability to protect itself and can even paralyze its tentacles, which directly dispelled Xia Ren’s idea of using the tentacles to eliminate it.
The location of the tumor is too close to Zhao Rou’s brain. If force is taken, the unknown organisms parasitizing inside will inevitably rebound, and the consequences will be unpredictable.
What exactly is this tumor?
He couldn’t help but wonder. In the past, the system would give prompts for any polluted creatures he had never seen before. Especially in the Dawn Center, the ghouls were not even there. Just based on the smell left behind, the system had already started to prompt him that it was Ghoul, but there was no hint at all today.
“Could it be that the system doesn’t know?”
There are still many doubts about this system. With insufficient information at present, Xia Ren cannot make accurate inferences.
“What system?”
Looking up, Xia Ren found that Zhao Tianliang and his daughter were looking at him with puzzled faces.
“nothing.”
Waving his hand, Xia Ren pondered for a while and said, “Has she had any surgery before?”
“No.”
Zhao Tianliang said: “The risks of surgery are very high, and we have not decided yet.”
“Fortunately I didn’t do it.”
Not only is the risk high, ordinary surgery is almost certain to result in death.
I’m afraid Zhao Rou’s brain was destroyed before the scalpel came into contact with the tumor.
“Where do you say that?” Zhao Tianliang asked anxiously.
Xia Ren did not answer his question, but thought for a while and said, “You guys prepare for the operation.”
“But you just said…”
“That was just now.”
Xia Ren picked up his phone and looked at the time. It was almost eleven o’clock noon, and today’s update had not been written yet.
“I don’t have much free time. If you are willing to take a gamble, just trust me, try to arrange the surgery, and just notify me when the time comes.”
Throwing this difficult multiple-choice question in front of Zhao Tianliang, Xia Ren left the ward and saw Xiu Xiu waiting in the corridor.
“How about it?”
Xiuxiu walked up and stood side by side with Xia Ren.
“It’s a bit troublesome. By the way, has your foundation ever recorded contaminants similar to parasites?”
“Parasite…”
Liu Xiuxiu raised her head and thought for a moment, “It doesn’t seem like she has any impression. I’ll check it out later.”
The atmosphere became quiet, and only the footsteps of two people were left in the corridor.
There is a garden downstairs where the hospital is located. The autumn colors are getting darker, but the place seems to be unaffected. Various unnamed flowers are blooming, and some people wearing hospital gowns are sitting on the benches to bask in the sun.
When Xia Ren and the others passed by, a voice played from a mobile phone broke the quiet and peaceful atmosphere here.
“Brothers, there is nothing you can’t think of. There is nothing I, the sixth, can’t do. Again, today I, the sixth, challenge you to eat dirt. Brothers, Oli is here! Do it!”
A teenage boy showed a look of disdain, but his eyes were fixed on the screen, fascinated.
“What’s so cool about eating dirt?”
When they were far away, Liu Xiuxiu was still thinking about the scene just now and asked in confusion.
“Because I got tired of seeing the ordinary, I started to pursue the extreme.”
Xia Ren vaguely remembered seeing such a video last year, and it seemed like it was the same person.
Last year…
It’s really far away.
…
…
“Brothers, I can’t bear it any longer. Brothers, please have lunch early.”
After turning off the live broadcast, Lao Liu breathed a long sigh of relief, leaned back on his chair, casually took off the band-aid on his forehead, and half a betel nut fell to the ground.
Feeling thirsty, he glanced around and saw a transparent urinal filled with pure water on the table.
This was originally a prop used during the live broadcast to increase the effect. No normal person would use this thing to drink water.
While he was hesitating, there was a knock on the door outside.
“Who will be there at this time?”
The mother was bedridden in her hometown, and the children also went to boarding school. The sixth child rented this house in Jupiter City by himself, and there were usually no guests coming over.
While thinking about it, he opened the door.
Standing outside was a man in his twenties, wearing glasses. Under the sun, his skin looked a little pale.
Lao Liu looked at the other party and felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.
“Who are you?”
