In a room in a high-rise building in a densely populated middle-class community.
Dozens of people had their limbs cut off to prevent them from moving.
Ash also sealed his mouth with tape so as not to disturb him while working, and also covered his head with a black plastic bag. The sight of these people's tears streaming down his face made him feel a little uncomfortable.
The floor was covered in blood and residue from sawing operations.
And Ash also failed once again. He didn’t expect that activating this forbidden item would be so troublesome, so he had to open the manual and continue reading.
Hugo: "..."
Because Hugo wanted to observe the spiritual outlook embodied by universal values as a reference, he came to Ash's construction site, but it didn't go very smoothly.
"I didn't expect there was an instruction manual."
Hugo was a little surprised, because the manual was bound like an air conditioner or TV user manual, which was really weird.
"Of course. Although I also know some techniques, I am not that professional."
“How-to guidelines drawn up by industry insiders are essential.”
Ash flipped through the manual carefully, looking for his mistakes, but the sentences and vocabulary in it were also ambiguous, making it difficult to figure out.
"What problems are you encountering now?"
Hugo thought he might be able to help.
"It's like this. Manifesting matter requires a subject to bear the initial expansion, but I chose many subjects and they all exploded and couldn't bear it."
Ash pointed at the broken pieces that he had sorted with a broom, puzzled.
"As long as this step is successful, there will be no problem in the next step. This kind of manifestation field will slowly expand, automatically capture humans and spread like a snowball, forming a self-sufficient... um... ecosystem, I guess,
Said there should be no problem."
Ash handed the operation guide to Hugo, but to his surprise, Hugo took a step back.
"Can you wipe the blood on it with a tissue first?"
Hugo said.
Only then did Ash realize that because there was too much blood on the ground, Hugo had put a plastic bag on his shoes before walking in.
"no problem."
Wipe away the blood and give it to Hugo.
Hugo also took out his glasses from his breast pocket and put them on, and began to read the above process carefully.
Half a minute later.
"Did you find anything?"
Ash was a little anxious, because the level of riots in Luo City was much faster than he imagined, and more and more people were siding with the puppet organization they supported, which meant that the countermeasures bureau was also about to start a counterattack to decide the outcome.
Once you take action, you cannot sit still and wait for death. The use of taboos is crucial.
"It's really blurry in some places."
"It just means that you need to choose a strong-willed person as the subject, and you must have done this before."
Hugo pondered for a while, thinking about the mystery.
Ash nodded. He found some ruthless characters, even people within SCT, including some infected people, but it was ineffective. It was too strange.
"You said this guide was written by a warlock, right?"
"Perhaps we need to understand the semantics according to the way of thinking of a warlock. The strong will that the warlock talks about does not necessarily have to be mental toughness."
"According to this kind of person's understanding, it probably refers to a person with a stable ideological framework."
"The people you are looking for may have strong mental powers, but their ideologies tend to be biased towards certain extremes."
"And the reference standard for manifesting matter is the symbolic world, so a moderate person is needed as the subject."
"A lawyer, or a stockbroker, might be able to succeed."
Hugo returned the manual to Ash and made this judgment.
"Why do you say that?"
Ash was a little suspicious, because he tried too many people, and he had the urge to let the warlock come over and operate it himself. It was a pity that the weirdo had gone crazy or something. This kind of taboo object had too many connections with the deep world, and he often came into contact with it.
If you do, your brain will show off.
"Often people only believe what they want to believe, but turn a blind eye to all the ironclad evidence and lack the ability to think."
"These two types of people are deeply rooted in civilization. Under the complete indoctrination of elite education, they are closely related to the symbolic world. At the same time, they also have stronger thinking ability due to their positions. They are a kind of people who can stabilize the symbolic world or even accelerate it.
Progressive creature.”
“On the one hand, it integrates with it, but on the other hand, it also maintains a logical suspicion.”
"I think this kind of thinking is the most reasonable as a standard for interpreting manifest concepts."
Hugo looked at the people on the side whose mobility was restricted, presumably these were the nutrients needed for expansion.
"What you said makes sense."
Although Ash is not sure this is effective, there is currently no other better method.
He immediately called his people and asked them to recruit a few lawyers and stockbrokers, preferably both, the more the better.
More than an hour later.
The efficiency of SCT members is quite high. Since the military and police are now on alert for attacks, they have no time to care about the safety of citizens.
I tried several lawyers, but it still didn't work. The moment the metal box was implanted, it exploded.
Ash has given up any hope.
But there is still one stockbroker left. He has done it so many times that he is already familiar with it. He anesthetizes, opens the skull, implants the metal box into the center of the brain, and then twists the rotary valve half a turn to slightly crack the cube metal box.
.
No one knows what is in the box, they only know that it is a forbidden item, and the operation manual is marked with warning signs and red words. It is strictly forbidden to look directly at the contents of the box, otherwise there will be uncontrollable serious consequences.
Immediately afterwards, the stockbroker's body began to twitch and convulse unconsciously, as if he was being shocked.
Just when Ash thought it was going to explode again.
However, a strange change occurred. As the cracks in the metal box became wider and wider, the agent not only did not die, but his skull began to heal, completely sealing the metal box in his brain.
Ya Xiu was overjoyed and knew it was done.
"It's worthy of winning many awards in the medical field. That's great, doctor."
After learning that Hugo was the one who was condemned this time, Ash naturally looked up a lot of information about him. Unlike Randy or Johnny, Hugo's reputation in the underground world was limited, and he only gradually became known after joining SCT.
Before that, he had always been a great figure in the field of psychiatry and was active in the upper class circles.
"It's just some trivial results that can't be put on the table."
Hugo knew his own level, and all his achievements were not worth mentioning until he reached an unparalleled level.
Immediately afterwards.
I saw ugly red and green blood vessels proliferating in the stockbroker's body, wriggling and twisting like maggots in the air, gradually wrapping around him, and then sprouting densely packed dirty compound eyes, as well as insect characteristics, antennae, joints, and mouths.
Vessel, chitin shell.
There is no flesh-and-blood monster more monstrous than this.
And red and green blood vessels slowly began to spread on the ground, spreading around.
Ya Xiu let out a long breath, finally done it, and immediately started reading the operation manual. The next step is to add nutrients to this field. The best effect is to add nutrients every twenty meters.
He immediately ordered several of his men to start moving those people, carrying them outside, putting them down every twenty meters or so, all the way to the bottom of the building. If there were witnesses along the way, they would also restrict their mobility to get more
Assure.
"It's really a mysterious power. It comes from the deep world. It's an indescribable power. In the end, it can even cover an entire city."
Ash sighed, but this power is ineffective against S-class infected people, because these people already have independent areas that are isolated from everything else.
"Yes, it's incredible... Have you noticed that these pipes look like stock index lines?"
