Curiosity

The sounds of flesh cutting and body fluids flowing paused for a while. The owner of the knife seemed to be shocked by the unexpected information and fell into deep thought.

But soon, the cutting sound sounded again, and the human body analysis continued.

[The body of Terran humans does not seem to be naturally evolved at all - most of the structures of natural creatures are extremely complicated, useless, and even contradictory, and they are enough... For example, it is like a crooked and bent tree, ugly and ugly, but it can still survive and even be very healthy]

[But the flesh of Terran humans is not like this. They are just like a straight and tall pine tree that is healthy and has the beauty of life. Whether it is a more reasonable lung structure, an extremely strong liver, or some unknown organs whose functions are not yet clear, they all appear clear and full of vitality]

[Uh, by the way, what are these protruding cartilages around the spine and cervical vertebrae? ]

[Let me think, yes, it should be to strengthen and stabilize the spinal structure. Indeed, the impact resistance will be much stronger, and ordinary impacts will hardly cause concussions to Terran people. This is really all-round armament. The Terrans are armed to the teeth! ]

[Even on Earth, to achieve such a result, genetic modification must be carried out from the fertilized egg period... Speaking of this, that muscle stomach is really familiar, and it is very similar to the 'Taotie Type III Auxiliary Digestive Organ', but that is a high-level genetic organ that only elite exploration team members of alien colonization are equipped with, and ordinary people can't use it at all]

[The existing tools are not capable of performing brain dissection, but the results are enough to make a conclusion: Terrans are a high-level race comparable to new humans]

[The Terran human body is incredibly strong. Even without civilization, they can adapt to almost all natural environments with instincts and basic beast wisdom alone, and it is extremely difficult to be exterminated]

[Add to that the promotion and improvement of the body by psychic energy... The hidden power behind this world may be far beyond my imagination]

[Hey, wait, this leg...]

...

In the lake forest at night, the rocks are not dim because of the moonlight, but are quite clear and bright.

Blood was gushing out around the body wrapped in oil canvas, but it did not spread everywhere.

It is better to say that because the body being dissected was not a living person, but a body that had been deliberately placed for a period of time, the amount of bleeding was unexpectedly small.

Ian, holding a fish-cutting knife, had a simple linen cloth covering his pretty face as a mask.

When his emerald blue eyes reflected his uncle's horrible body, there was no fluctuation at all, just like ordinary people seeing stones everywhere on the roadside.

But now, there was a rare fluctuation in these calm eyes.

Because a wisp of mist with a different color rose from the deformed right leg of the body.

"Light blue halo."

Putting down the knife in his hand and washing his hands with lake water, Ian nodded thoughtfully.

The foresight that had been opened not only allowed Ian to see clearly in the moonlight, but also to see the mist on the deformed legs covered with carapace and keratin.

"This is not ordinary... ordinary humans, even if they have tumors and cancer, will not have such deformities in their legs."

"And, there is a light blue halo?"

Ian frowned and thought.

You know, the unreasonable hypnotic agent Supor Sleeping Powder is already outrageous enough, and it is only blue.

And the light blue halo is only slightly worse than the sleeping powder, what is it?

With curiosity, Ian walked over and cut the deformed flesh and blood along the gap of the carapace.

It took him a long time to take out a deformed 'L'-shaped bone from it.

This bone is extremely strong, and it is the body surrounded by the light blue mist. Ian tried to cut it with an iron knife, and it felt like cutting steel-the hardness of this thing is even comparable to high-quality iron-nickel alloy!

The L-shaped bone is about 15 centimeters long, 10 centimeters wide, and about 4 centimeters long in cross section. It is very deformed, with dense erosion and depressions on it, and even forms some strange patterns.

When Ian held it, he felt it was very heavy. Although it was not as heavy as steel of the same volume, it was much heavier than ordinary bones.

This was obviously not a bone that could grow from an ordinary creature. At least the bones of ordinary people could not be sawed open with a knife or saw.

"If this leg is fully developed." Ian thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what such a deformed bone could grow into, but the hardness alone was strong enough: "It must be an iron leg, right? At least it is the strength of a military-grade modified prosthesis, which can completely block bullets."

He rubbed his sore hands, and then nodded to Osenna's broken corpse: "Even if the humans in this world are not the result of genetic modification, there must be a developed psychic and magical civilization behind them. At least my knowledge can't give any other explanation."

"In any case, the mysteries on the Terra continent are one layer after another, which is really curious."

All brutal pleasures will eventually end in brutality. Osenna took pleasure in abusing Ian and his brothers, and his death provided Ian with very important information, which answered many of Ian's doubts.

——Can the physiological knowledge of earthlings be applied to Terrans? Are they also flesh and blood?

——If fighting is necessary, what is the weakness of Terrans?

Now, all these questions have answers, which makes people feel happy.

"It's time to deal with the body."

Ian stood up and relieved his lumbar spine, which was a little sore from bending for a long time.

Then, he picked up the farm shovel and prepared to go to an open space by the lake to dig a hole and bury the body.

At this moment, the old knight who had seen Ian's autopsy process from beginning to end also took a step.

Before, he had been standing aside to prevent other lake forest beasts from approaching, but now he stepped forward and walked with Ian.

The two walked by the lake under the moonlight. The man looked at Ian's bloody hands, pondered for a while, and then said: "Why do you do this?"

Although there was no specific reference, how could Ian not know what the other party was asking?

Although he didn't know the ethics of the Terra world and whether what he did was a blasphemy of the body, at least the old knight didn't stop him. Although the man frowned, he didn't show any sign of stopping.

There was even a hint of surprise.

"This is a very important and necessary action."

So, the white-haired boy said simply. He was a little tired. After a long period of exercise and the opening of the precognitive vision, Ian felt hungry again.

But then, he cheered up and thought for a while, then spoke again and explained seriously: "I want to see what the human body is like."

Looking up and looking at the solemn face of the old knight, Ian answered frankly: "Or rather, I am curious."
