Chapter 932: Chapter 930: Pathogen Squad
When Yi Chen pushed open the special room’s door, the visual support provided by the little grape inside him captured everyone present, and roughly interpreted the corresponding symptoms and pathogen concentrations.
Blood Emperor Pulaid requires no further introduction; Yi Chen could sense without observation from the little grape that the opponent was stronger than during their last encounter, likely due to a newly hatched “qualification” from the sick focus soon to belong to the Emperor.
Apart from the Emperor, the other members were equally unique, each representing the pathogen core of their respective source epidemic areas.
To the Emperor’s left,
sits a figure whose stature is so colossal that a specially made oversized chair is required to accommodate them.
They’re not obese, just wider than an ordinary person.
Encased in a deep gray skin coat, a human skin mask with only eye holes covers their face, exposing bloodshot eyes.
Behind them is embedded an ultra-large tombstone shield.
Engraved with the name [Grimman Brent], the shield is composed by compressing layers of connective skin using the highest-level compression sewing technique from the Skin Factory, made with materials from Grimman’s shed skin.
The surface design of the shield is particularly unique, incorporating through special line stitching technique, a total of [eleven] different categories of severed palms.
These severed palms come from Grimman’s predecessors, who used to be next only to the Factory Director in Original Skin status.
These hands retain their former will, further enhancing the shield’s impact absorption and blocking any form of attack.
Grimman is acclaimed as the strongest [Shield] of the time,
besides excelling at defense, he can also propel the shield for impact, and when necessary, the severed palms on the shield’s surface can form fists, turning the shield’s charge into a swing of eleven big fists.
When Yi Chen looked at this person’s neck, the individual instinctually displayed a ‘neck shrinking’ motion, the stacked layers of wrinkled skin around the neck making hacking attempts difficult to penetrate.
However,
the current Original Skin Grimman was scarred all over,
not hiding the bite marks from sharp teeth, and even numerous small yet deep wounds, possibly left after the removal of fish eggs or some specific parasites.
To cause this being to suffer so many injuries and be unable to heal in a short period, it seems likely to be the [phenomenon] they handled just now.
To the Emperor’s right,
sits a doctor with a Mediterranean hairstyle, wearing a white outfit that resembles an old man in his seventies.
Though appearing normal from the front, his side profile clearly reveals non-human characteristics.
Like a [human insect],
the white coat is also custom-made, extending back to hide an insect-like lower body structure.
At least twelve arms serve as appendages supporting the lower body, and these fingers each have sharp teeth, enabling support and movement by contact with the ground.
The sensitivity of each finger reaches a high standard,
allowing any injured individual to be wrapped into this arm-filled insect-like lower body for rapid full-body surgery.
Having known Deputy Chief Physician Jessica, Yi Chen naturally recognized the person as belonging to the Teeth Hall, definitely a top figure there.
Whether by the little grape or Yi Chen’s observation, their teeth slightly vibrated, and based on the vibration frequency and amplitude, a corresponding diagnosis could be discerned.
Even if lacking teeth, they could quickly grow new ones.
Those sharp teeth used mainly for surgery also feature small drainage holes at the tip, capable not only of paralyzing patients or injecting stimulants into them but also of administering conceptual neurotoxins to enemies.
Thanks to this individual, the team’s condition remains at peak level, enabling quick treatment of various non-death injuries.
Naturally, such a Chief also harbors unspeakable secrets.
Besides the Chief Physician, there was a ‘peculiar’ individual at the dining table.
A man wearing a fish-scale suit, slender and sporting a single ponytail at the back of his head,
appearing in his early thirties, with heavy dark circles and constantly half-draped eyelids, giving an overall impression of lethargy that could fall asleep at any moment.
On closer look, the single ponytail at the back of his head concealed a special flesh tube structure, with the ponytail end connected to a small luminous sphere.
It was at the instant William pushed the door open,
Buzz! The small sphere lit up, emitting a ‘soft glow’ that spread.
Rather than soft light, it was more like the sphere released a large amount of bacteria, drifting through the air and equally capable of self-luminescence.
These bacteria, also known as the “light-sensitive ancient bacteria,” are unique ancient bacteria residing within his body, with any information captured by the luminous bacteria being synchronized to the sphere.
When the luminescence fell upon Yi Chen,
the videotape hidden in Yi Chen’s attire voluntarily withdrew deeper, evading the probing light’s reach.
Enough to make William, who can evade divine detectors, feel threatened, it reflects how unique this person’s sense was, possibly linked to Catherine similarly concealed within the videotape.
Catherine and this person both hail from the Arc Sea, sharing a source feel that heightens the discovery possibility.
Lastly, the final member of the Emperor’s team sat beside the Doctor, the team’s only and youngest female member.
A special young girl with a half-face grown with sheep horn structure,
no need for little grape observation because Yi Chen knew her, and the intense vitality she exuded was practically a [deadly poison] to Yi Chen.
“William brother!”
The girl rushed recklessly but was immediately repelled by a certain repulsive force within about a five-meter range, with her hoof-like black foot landing steadily.
The girl then realized that the man resembling William before her was purely deceased with no vitality.
“You’re… not William.”
“No.”
“Do we know each other?”
“Sort of.”
The girl scratched her single sheep horn and nodded, “I don’t quite understand! But it doesn’t matter. I heard William brother has become the Plague Master and had left the sick focus early to come here. Do you know where he is?”
“I don’t know.”
The girl showed a disappointed expression, hands resting on cheeks, “Oh~ Then I can only slowly inquire about his news.”
As Yi Chen entered the special room, Reagan also stepped in.
Everyone’s gaze shifted to this initial Ascender from the Neisseria Cluster, the Chief Dentist’s entire sharp teeth trembling, hungering to comprehend Reagan’s brain structure in pursuit of medical knowledge.
The Emperor personally witnessed Reagan’s ascension process, fully acknowledging the person’s existence and permitting them to dine with him.
Having just seated, Yi Chen softly inquired from the front, “Lene, your symptom concentration is noticeably lower than theirs, can you keep up?”
“Ah! You know my name~ Well… Actually, I originally had no qualification to act alongside the Emperor and them, but Aunt had an urgent matter, so she let me follow.
Currently, I’m barely keeping up with them.”
Unexpectedly, the Emperor lifted the blood-drenched hair hanging before him, speaking voluntarily, “Lene shattered my fixed understanding of sheep herd, her vitality trait stands alone.
If she hadn’t participated in this action, we might have suffered casualties in handling [fish].
The concept deprivation of evil and phenomenon coverage was more troublesome than imagined.”
Praised by the Emperor, Lene blushed, clenching her fists on her thighs, determined to perform even better.
Following a simple introduction, the feast commenced.
