Half a minute after the person on the surgery table opened her eyes; there was absolute silence in the room. No one moved.
Reno only realized at this point that he and his sister had been too rash. If anything went wrong with the “cell activation” process, the person that would wake up would not be the original Lin Sanjiu they knew. Considering Lin Sanjiu’s combat capabilities, there was no way they could win against her.
Reno’s palms turned slightly sweaty. The teenager controlled his breathing as he watched the woman slowly getting up. Her current body was very different from her previous appearance as a higher consciousness entity.
Her arms and legs had been lengthened. When she stood up, her slender, flowy figure was breathtakingly beautiful. She was taller than Reno by a head. Her body figure seemed perfectly sculpted as if specifically designed to encompass a boundless amount of strength and speed. Unfortunately, her skin still had a greenish tinge as if the battle within her body was still ongoing.
The singlet and the combat pants she wore now appeared shorter on her current body, so her well-defined abs were now exposed. The white bandage around her neck was covered with dirt and dust. Somehow, it contrasted with her pair of amber eyes which were now lighter than before. They were almost crystal clear. contemporary romance
Reno froze for a moment. He examined Lin Sanjiu’s eyes closely for a few seconds and came to the conclusion that Lin Sanjiu’s irises had indeed become lighter.
At that moment, he could not see any confusion or puzzlement in her eyes. They seemed soulless as if it belonged to a robot without thoughts.
The woman—the siblings didn’t know if they should call her Lin Sanjiu—looked around. Her gaze was empty. Reno immediately pulled his sister to one side, intuitively trying to avoid the woman’s empty, meaningless gaze.
The cat doctor was standing behind Lin Sanjiu. He seemed to suddenly sense that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and stared at her back for some time and couldn’t help making a “huh?”. At the same time, the woman shifted her empty gaze. Before Reno and Rena saw her movements clearly, they heard a loud boom. A large hole replaced the spot where the cat doctor was standing just a moment ago.
The siblings were so shocked that they nearly cried out. Thankfully, they spotted the small figure of the bicolor cat flashing past. The usually very elegant cat doctor crawled out from the bottom of the surgery table in a rather embarrassing manner.
Lin Sanjiu did not follow up with an attack. She frowned and appeared to be in pain. In the end, she didn’t move.
Even though everything appeared calm on the surface, Lin Sanjiu was fighting the hardest and riskiest battle she ever faced within her own body. As her original cells were already dead, her revival was only possible because of the merger between the resilient invasive cells and her original cells, and the propagation of these hybrid cells. In other words, Lin Sanjiu was considered a ‘foreign invader’ in this particular body. If she wanted to regain control over her body under such circumstances… first, she would have to deal with Nüwa’s higher consciousness.
Even though she only had to deal with the very small amount of higher consciousness that Nüwa left in her body, that bit of higher consciousness was still alarmingly pure and powerful. Nüwa’s higher consciousness had a totally different nature in contrast with Lin Sanjiu’s diamond-like higher consciousness. Nüwa’s higher consciousness was like a raging fire and possessed an aggression that almost seemed to aim for mutual destruction. They created havoc in Lin Sanjiu’s every single blood vessels. They tore at Lin Sanjiu’s sanity almost as if they wanted just to tear her apart.
Surrounded by this extremely destructive fire-like higher consciousness, Lin Sanjiu struggled to prevent her own higher consciousness from unraveling while launching her own attacks at Nüwa’s higher consciousness. Each time she clashed with that foreign higher consciousness, the pain she felt was so intense that her higher consciousness could almost break. Unfortunately, she had no other choice. After she recovered her strength, she would charge at that vast ember red which represented Nüwa’s higher consciousness.
As the battle within Lin Sanjiu’s body was still ongoing, externally, she started behaving very erratically. Most of the time, she would just stand still with a vacant look on her face. Occasionally, when one party was winning, it would take a few stiff steps. However, no one could predict whether she wouldn’t suddenly lose control and start attacking if she was disturbed by an external sound.
When the cat doctor saw the siblings’ face turning paler and paler as they grew nervous, he waved his paws to the siblings as if he was hinting at something. However, the siblings simply did not understand what the cat’s gestures meant.
The cat doctor sighed soundlessly. Just when he was feeling troubled, they heard a loud, hoarse voice from the nurse downstairs once again: “The rules have changed! There will be no transfer of lives when patients and family members attack each other. The current Patient Zero would exist until one side loses. This is your last chance! Attack Patient Zero, she is in A218!”
Lin Sanjiu was startled by the voice. All her muscles quivered. The cat doctor and the siblings quickly retreated a few steps away from her. Noticing that she wasn’t about to attack them, and realizing that Lin Sanjiu no longer looked like Patient Zero, they were somewhat relieved.
Unfortunately, this tranquility did not last for long. After the nurse screeched those words, they heard the faint sounds of people’ voices coming from one end of the corridor outside. Lin Sanjiu’s threat was certainly vicious but considering the more dire situation that their lives were in immediate danger, the posthumans had to accept the risk of attacking her.
The siblings and the cat watched as Lin Sanjiu frowned harder. Cold sweat slid down her forehead profusely. She seemed to be in deep agony. There was no way she could fight right now, and even defending herself seemed questionable. As the footsteps grew closer and closer, Rena grabbed the cat doctor’s shoulder before he could escape. When the cat doctor turned to look at the girl, he saw the teenage girl’s hopeful face as she said, “Dr. Hu, you will fight together with us, right?”
“Oh, well, regarding that… I am actually very busy, and I don’t have any fighting abilities…” Meowie Hu tried to make excuses as his large eyes blinked. The siblings dragged him to the entrance, almost as if they couldn’t hear what he just said. Just when the bicolor cat felt his paws turning cold from sweat, a crescent-like beam shot through the door. The cat felt a slight warmth from the tip of his ear. Then, the beam of light hit Lin Sanjiu’s body. A white light exploded in the room.
“It’s successful!”
Someone in the corridor yelled out suddenly. Before the light faded, a few posthumans rushed into the room. As white lights flashed in the room, the figure of a tall, slender woman caught everyone’s attention.
The white light in the room dyed Lin Sanjiu’s skin. She slowly looked up and revealed her row of teeth faintly.
“You wanted to see me?”
It was as if an ancient behemoth had awoken from its sleep.
