Chapter 9
Perhaps because it was the first time to swallow a hard object the size of a ping-pong ball,
Perhaps because what comes next will determine life and death,
Perhaps it is the sensory enhancement brought by the small meat balls,
Yi Chen could clearly feel the digestive reaction taking place in the stomach pouch,
The round surface of the crystal, like an embryo, is constantly bubbling and decomposing under the erosion of gastric acid...The digested surface is transformed into nutrients and absorbed by the gastric pouch,
Eventually exposing the diseased material in the inner core of the crystal,
A "green strip" between the roundworm and the root hairs
It enters the intestinal tract through the appetite, and is finally decomposed and absorbed by digestive enzymes and bile in the intestinal tract, and then flows into the blood circulation.
in an instant,
The blood all over Yi Chen's body showed fluorescent green,
The structure of the blood vessel wall is actually carrying out the "secondary growth (Secondary-Growth)" exclusively for plants, which is similar to the nested combination of plant vascular bundles between blood vessels,
The whole process was extremely painful, as if the blood vessels and other tissues of the body were to be peeled off from each other,
Far more than the severe pain caused by the penetration and extraction of the soles of the feet before,
Just when the consciousness was about to be washed away by this pain,
The diseased essence mixed in the blood officially flowed into the depths of his brain, bringing his thoughts to a strange memory of the past.
This is an intermittent signal memory stored between plant cells,
Use Yichen's brain to integrate and process, and finally put it into the memory area for 'personal experience'.
You can feel a tree go through the whole process of seed germination, sapling growth and trunk formation.
Experience the subtle feeling of roots growing underground, sucking water from deep in the soil, and forming a symbiotic structure with bacteria in the soil.
Feel the unique photosynthesis between plant cells and breathe the carbon dioxide in the air.
Going through stages of transformation-primary growth and secondary growth, establishing a complete and sound plant system, and turning into an unknown guardian of the cemetery.
Until he was finally infected by an unknown pathogen and turned into a living corpse through mimicry.
What Yi Chen himself didn't know was that in the process of reading this plant memory,
The real body in the operating room is undergoing strange changes,
The first green stems grow between the pores, and drill out along the cuffs, collars or waistbands.
Wriggling hyphae drilled out of the mouth, nostrils, and ear canals,
The dilated pupils are dyed green, and they are constantly zooming in and out.
I don't know how long this state has been.
When the reading of memory is over and thoughts return to reality,
"Did I survive?"
Yi Chen hastily checked his whole body, and found no structure of bark or branches (they have already been retracted into the body)... The body is still the same as before, but it seems that the physical fitness seems to have improved a little bit.
The manager of the cemetery, Mr. Wilbert, showed a satisfied smile,
"I knew you could do it."
He seemed to expect that Yi Chen would survive
Serve pre-prepared, unprocessed vegetarian food,
When Yi Chen saw these vegetables,
There is a sense of déjà vu when a tramp sees delicious delicacies, and he eats them without any image, and eats five or six catties of vegetarian food.
during eating,
The wounds caused by the previous fight with the living corpses healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sutures provided by the small meat balls were also covered by new flesh.
Yi Chen muttered: "My body... some kind of change has taken place."
The manager explained, "That's right, you have perfectly accepted the "pathological characteristics" of the crystallization, and you need to explore the specific changes to your body.
When you officially become a member of the organization, you will be able to search for this feature in detail. "
said,
The manager took out a special metal business card from his pocket, the whole body was silver.
The logo of the organization G&D is engraved on the back,
[Seven-Day] is printed on the front in an elegant streamlined italic, representing the current Seven-Day Cemetery.
While handing over the card, he also said:
"Because you fulfilled the 'requirement', the little guy on the shoulder is also yours.
It should be noted that if someone asks about the origin of this little guy, you can choose to ignore it.
Just show this business card if necessary, which can save you a lot of trouble.
the world is sick,
Even sane creatures can become suspicious by nature, and travel alone to avoid trouble as much as possible. "
"Thank you."
Just as Yi Chen took the card, Wilbert suddenly remembered an important question.
"It seems that I have not consulted your voluntary will, and started to guide you to join the organization on my own.
Let's do it all over again... Do you want to be part of the organization?
If your desire is not strong or rather repulsive, you can continue to work in the cemetery, and you will get a generous salary when the contract period is reached. "
Yi Chen replied without any hesitation:
"I want to see the outside world."
"very good.
At twelve noon tomorrow, go to the east exit of the town.
Show the business card to the groom, and he will naturally send you to the area related to the organization. "
As he spoke, the manager threw a small linen bag filled with heavy coins,
"These are your salary arrears for these months and a special bonus for this event.
Since your overalls were destroyed in battle,
Before departure, remember to visit the most high-end clothing store in the small town of Easton... Show the business card to the boss, and she will make you a set of high-quality clothing that fits your status.
Organizations have certain requirements for a person's dress and appearance.
Don't throw away the gentlemanly etiquette you learned in the orphanage...elegant habits can effectively isolate the influence of illness on the spirit. "
"Got it. That..."
Yi Chen looked at the silver-plated hand ax in his hand with some reluctance. This ax is quite good in terms of workmanship and the healing effect brought by the silver.
The manager waved his hand,
"Take this basic weapon from the craftsmen of the organization and the special long-lasting kerosene lamp. The journey to the organization will not be smooth. Light sources and sharp weapons are essential."
"Thank you."
There is not much time left until the next morning,
After Yi Chen said goodbye, he went back to the wooden house to sleep and rest.
Wait until the thin sunlight penetrates through the layers of fog and squeezes the narrow gaps between the branches and leaves into the cemetery.
The young man with the kerosene lamp and hand ax in his waist bowed deeply to the No. 7 cemetery and set off...
Corresponding.
The entrance to Cemetery No. 7.
The cemetery manager, Wilbert, with crow-like eyes, penetrated through the buildings and trees in the cemetery, watching the young man's going away figure, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
It seems that he is extremely reluctant to part with an 'item' that was taken away by the youth.
It's not the high-quality [crystal] taken out of the corpse,
It is an important product of the cemetery, a small meat ball stuck to Yi Chen's shoulder.
"I don't know if such an expensive investment is worth it.
The "Mature Body of Consciousness" in the Unnamed Cemetery has not appeared for hundreds of years, right?
It happened to appear at the same time as a potential person who could kill living corpses and receive crystals.
coincide?Or some kind of synchronicity?
Forget it... just treat it as a big gamble. "
During the conversation with Yi Chen yesterday, the manager intentionally did not elaborate on the small meat balls, but simply mentioned them as "pets" and "products of the cemetery".
And what Yi Chen didn't know was that,
The division of cemeteries not only corresponds to the different forms of corpses, rule management, and types of tombstones.
Among them, the [order] of 1~6 is also of great significance.
With the increase of the serial number, the cycle of producing the corresponding "product" in the cemetery will increase significantly, and the complexity and danger of the corpses buried in it will also increase step by step.
That is,
Those buried in Cemetery No. 6 with no names and unknown origins are the most dangerous.
