Chapter 493: Ability to Distort Stomach Ghosts (Part 1)
Using a fake body to deal with the upcoming ward round crisis is the perfect choice. At that time, he only needs to hide quietly in the corner and wait for the ward round to end before going out.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Soon, it was 11:50 in the evening.
At this time, the interior of the ward had been severely mutated, with large areas of wall peeling off, and the wooden furniture in the room also rotting extremely badly. There seemed to be a faint smell of rotting corpses.
The entire ward was filled with a disgusting stench, which almost made Jiang Qinian faint.
At this time, Jiang Qinian had separated a fake body on the bed, and for the sake of safety, he did not choose to hide elsewhere, but chose to hide directly in the fake body.
Because it is really not sure whether the ward rounds will check other places after finding that there is no abnormality in the patient on the bed.
Although he is not afraid of those stomach ghosts that look very scary, one more thing is worse than one less thing. No one can guarantee whether killing one of them will alert the others.
With this thought in mind, he lay on the hospital bed, quietly waiting for the arrival of twelve o'clock.
Time passed so fast that Jiang Qinian felt that in just a blink of an eye, the phone under the pillow vibrated slightly.
He set the alarm clock at the beginning. Now that the alarm clock was ringing, he stretched out his hand to turn off the alarm clock, and then controlled the prosthetic body to enter a sleep state.
The hospital is actually very quiet at night, but it is precisely because of this weird quietness that the entire hospital is covered with a mysterious veil, making it even more terrifying.
Just when Jiang Qinian was vigilantly paying attention to the movements around him, he suddenly felt a thin rustling sound coming from under the bed.
Coming.
The real terror has begun to strike here.
Even though there is deathly silence all around, this is just the calm before the storm. After this layer of disguise is torn off, what is hidden underneath is the bloody reality.
Today's night...is destined not to be peaceful...
There were no accidents in Jiang Qinian's plan. Since he was not cursed, the mutation of the rat corpse did not have any impact on him.
As for the fake body, it's not even a living thing, let alone making any noise.
At this time, the mouse under the bed was struggling continuously, and at the same time it made one or two very shrill whimpers, as if it was suffering from great pain.
Jiang Qinian, on the other hand, ignored it completely and closed his eyes quietly, waiting for the crisis to come.
After only a minute or two, there was a heavy knock on the door opposite the ward.
"Dong dong dong!!"
The voice was exactly the same as the one heard in the memoirs. It was dull but urgent, as if it was beating at the bottom of people's hearts, catalyzing the uneasy emotions and gradually spreading throughout the body.
At this moment, Jiang Qinian was also holding his breath and paying close attention to the movements outside.
In the memoir portrait, because the body owner was being tortured, he did not hear what happened next door during the ward rounds.
Now that Jiang Qinian has gotten rid of the trouble of the curse, it is natural to pay more attention to it, which should be helpful for the next actions.
Maybe we can deduce the abilities of those abnormal stomach ghosts from this.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but prick up his ears and listen carefully to the noise on the other side.
After a while, the door to the opposite room was pushed open with a bang by the ward rounds.
At the same time, an almost begging voice reached his ears from outside...
"Please, I was already asleep, but I don't know what happened..."
Suddenly, the voice stopped abruptly, and then, Jiang Qinian also heard a "plop" sound of a heavy object falling to the ground!
"What's going on?
Why did you faint suddenly?"
Hearing this, he couldn't help feeling
Got a little confused.
Since it is a stomach ghost, its ability cannot be said to be 100% related to swallowing, but at the very least it should be similar.
But now it seems that these ward rounders have the ability to make each other faint instantly. What on earth is this?
In the memoir portrait, the owner of the body at that time also experienced this strange phenomenon.
The ward rounds obviously did nothing, but the owner of the body fainted uncontrollably. When he woke up again, he was already on the autopsy table, and his consciousness was also blurred, and he was always half asleep and half awake.
status.
Hmm...confused? Fainted suddenly?
"etc……"
Jiang Qinian seemed to have thought of something.
He felt that he had overlooked a very, very important issue.
This problem is not obvious, and even if you don't observe it carefully, it is easy to ignore it.
But it is precisely because of this that many patients are unable to know what the abilities of those abnormal stomach ghosts are!
(Note: The aberrant stomach ghost refers to the stomach ghost in the patient that was removed before it evolved into a complete body.
Normal stomach ghosts have evolved completely, and there is not too obvious a difference in strength between the two, but aberrant stomach ghosts may have weirder abilities and are unconscious, equivalent to machines that obey orders.)
That was when the owner of the body was being dissected, and the dissection was performed directly while he still had vital signs!!
If it is dissected at this time, the owner of the body will be in pain to death no matter what. This is completely a cruel and inhuman torture!!
But what makes people suspicious is that the owner of the body did not utter any screams when he was dissected, and even showed no symptoms of discomfort except being unconscious, as if the dissected person was not himself!
This is the most unexplainable part of the whole incident.
You must know that even monsters with chaotic consciousness can feel pain. Except for those monsters that have been transformed into killing machines, no living being can shield themselves from pain. It is just a difference in tolerance.
Even for Jiang Qinian, it is actually very painful every time he uses a fake body to die, but the long-term training and pain have made his threshold for enduring pain higher.
But even so, it doesn't mean that he can't feel pain!
But the body owner obviously does not fall into this situation.
During the dissection, he really didn't feel any pain!
And this... what is the reason?
There are many ways to make people feel less painful.
But since it appears in a place like a hospital, many people will probably think of the most common one...
————General anesthesia!!!
This method is very common in hospitals, and it can indeed make people feel no pain at all.
But Jiang Qinian felt that this reason was too far-fetched. If he wanted to use general anesthesia to explain the abnormality at that time, at least it would not make sense in many places.
The first is the method of general anesthesia.
There are three types of general anesthesia, namely intravenous anesthesia, inhalation anesthesia and combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia.
Intravenous anesthesia is easy to understand, intravenous injection, and the injection locations are mostly the dorsal vein of the hand and the subclavian vein where the veins are in good condition.
Needless to say, inhalation anesthesia is a combination of the first two methods.
But no matter which method is used, it will eventually leave traces in the body.
But when Jiang Qinian was controlling his body through the green will-o'-the-wisp, he didn't notice anything strange inside his body.
Conventional methods like anesthesia are indeed useful for cultivators below demigods or the Earthly Immortal Realm, but for powerful cultivators, they are like sweet water and have no effect at all.
After all, after reaching this realm, both consciousness and body have broken away from the category of ordinary people.
But the body owner's cultivation obviously failed to meet this standard.
Moreover, during anesthesia, drugs enter the circulatory system through the respiratory tract or blood, so if the owner of the body is really knocked out by anesthesia, there is no way that Jiang Qinian will not notice any clues.
This is one of them.
The second is that when he first encountered the aberrant stomach ghost, the owner of the body had already fallen into a coma.
It is true that the situation at that time was very bad. The owner's limbs had been twisted and his brain often felt dizzy, but at least he was not even aware that the other party had injected himself with anesthesia.
It was just that four abnormal stomach ghosts surrounded the owner of the body, and then the owner of the body passed out.
From this, we can deduce that what makes people unconscious is definitely not anesthesia. After all, that thing is useless against some powerful evil spirits, and it is just a waste of time.
In this case, the only explanation is the ability of those abnormal stomach ghosts!
Although this ability seems mysterious and mysterious, if you analyze it according to the situation at that time, it is not difficult to guess.
First of all, judging from the reaction of the body owner, except for the trauma caused by the change in the room, the body owner did not suffer any substantial harm.
After here, his consciousness has been in a blur, and even the pain has disappeared.
The only explanation for this phenomenon is that his consciousness has been indelibly traumatized.
And this irreversible trauma started to happen when encountering the aberrant stomach ghost!
Therefore, if Jiang Qinian guessed correctly, the ability of the Abnormal Stomach Ghost is indeed related to devouring, but the things devoured are different from devouring in the conventional sense.
What the aberrant stomach ghost swallows is the consciousness of other living beings!!
It is this weird ability that makes them invincible when facing those powerful evil spirits!!
After all, this ability is extremely weird and difficult to guard against.
Who would have thought that a group of seemingly innocuous ghosts could actually be a demon that only swallows other people's consciousnesses?
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but feel a little headache.
It's just as troublesome as the ghost couple we met in the community, or even worse.
Although the male ghost at that time was a spiritual body, his power was also strange.
But the problem is that there is only one male ghost.
How many aberrant stomach ghosts are there in the Department of Gastroenterology?
This is unknown...
But what is certain is that even if Jiang Qinian has the ability to resist the opponent with his fake body, if he is really entangled, the situation will become very dangerous!
