Capítulo 2050: Chapter 1379: The Depths of Darkness (Ben ow’s Fluffy Soft ow)
“This is the first phase after the surgery. During this ti, the patient shows no self-awareness, only biological responses. For example, they eat, drink, and excrete. But other than that, there’s no self-initiated activity. We believe this is because the brain is analyzing and processing information, and it needs ti, so it temporarily controls the functions of other body parts.”
Then, the scene shifts again. This ti, the bandages on the boy’s head are gone, and his hair has grown. His expression is still sowhat blank, but he has already started reading and writing.
“Phase two, the patient is recovering—no, to be precise, they are acclimating to their capabilities. They are trying to integrate with this body, rapidly mastering its cognition.”
Seeing this, the expressions of the three people beca rather grim, and the reason—no need to ask.
Subsequently, the scene shifts again. This ti, the boy has completely restored to his original state, both in attire and deanor, looking like an ordinary person.
“Phase three, the patient has fully recovered, and his behavior is no different from before. This is a very worth-studying subject, as the removal of the prefrontal cortex affects the connection of bodily nerves to so extent. But now, the behavior of this body is very fluent, and the test results are quite perfect. It can be considered that it has completely simulated and replaced the original human structure—it’s an unimaginable ability.”
As if to confirm the doctor’s words, the scene turns, showing a pair of parents smiling and taking the boy out of the hospital while saying goodbye to the doctor.
“The patient’s condition is completely normal, not even noticed by the family. Up to this point, it can be considered a successful treatnt.”
The doctor’s voice carried a hint of mockery, and then the video ended.
Faced with the screen, everyone fell silent for a mont, and then the Gourt Detective clenched his fist and slamd it against the table.
“Damn! That bastard! What the hell did he do to those people!”
“Alright, it seems those people up there are beyond saving now.”
Duanmu Huai was ntally prepared, so he wasn’t as angry as the other two.
“We should continue to focus on our target. Do we have a map of this place?”
“Let see… found it, hmm… here is the ntal health diagnosis and treatnt room, operation room, supply storage room… supply storage room 2?”
Opening the computer, the Idol Detective studied the map carefully and then paused, pointing at the map on the screen.
“Look at this, the supply storage room is weird. There are two supply storage rooms, and they’re put together?”
“Anyway, let’s check it out and see.”
As the Idol Detective said, the supply storage room is right next to the operation room. Of course, the door is tightly shut—not a match for Duanmu Huai though.
“Honestly, I think this is too exaggerated.”
Watching Duanmu Huai effortlessly remove the door of the storage room, the Gourt Detective shook his head helplessly.
“What, do you have the skill to open a password and fingerprint-locked security door?”
Duanmu Huai ignored the alarms, casually tossed the door aside, and walked in.
The outer storage room looked just like an ordinary supply room, primarily holding so dicines, alcohol, gauze, and other surgical instrunts. However, the door leading to the second supply storage room was sowhat eerie—unlike the clean and tidy stainless steel doors in other places, this door was made of stone, looking quite ancient, and was chained with a huge lock—it indeed didn’t match the overall aesthetics.
Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand, grabbed the chain, and snapped it, then pushed open the stone door.
“Whooo—”
As the stone door opened, a stench, sickly and cold air wafted out, causing the two detectives to cover their noses and mouths, stepping back. Duanmu Huai also frowned slightly and strode in.
The entire room was dark. Duanmu Huai raised his flashlight and swung it around, spotting what seed to be a not-so-large room, with empty surroundings, only at the center stood sothing resembling a well, approximately five ters in diater, and the walls around were carved with eerie, twisted patterns and motifs.
“A well? Why would there be a well here?”
The Idol Detective puzzledly picked up the flashlight and illuminated the inside of the well.
“So deep… can’t even see the bottom…”
anwhile, the Gourt Detective’s expression changed slightly.
“Hey, did you hear sothing?”
“A sound?”
“…”
The Gourt Detective didn’t speak, lay flat on the ground, and pressed his ear against it. Then, his expression turned more and more terrified.
“This is…”
“Tekeli—li! Tekeli—li! Tekeli—li!”
A sound, resembling a demon curse from ancient tis, traversing the world, echoed, it pierced through the ground, erged from the depths of the well, spreading outward. Upon hearing this sound, the two detectives’ faces changed dramatically.
“Oh no!”
The Idol Detective hastily backed away, and the Gourt Detective quickly retreated toward the doorway, only Duanmu Huai stood still, raised his flashlight towards the well opening. In the flashlight’s beam, a sludge-like liquid surged forth, rolling, morphing, eyes and mouths erging from the oil-black, viscous surface, staring fixedly at the three in front of them.
Then, those mouths opened again, letting out a wail that could only be heard in a returning nightmare.
“Tekeli—li!”
