Chapter 159: Since You’re Already Here
In just a few seconds, Ji Jue felt the temperature in the operating room rise as if the cold air had been sucked out.
What he was witnessing was truly eye-opening.
Unlike the barely breathing mother, inside her abdomen, two frenzied spiritual energy fluctuations were constantly surging and intertwining, like two rabid wild dogs in the late stages of madness.
They endlessly devoured and tore at each other, filled with distortion and insanity.
They treated the mother’s body as a battlefield, wreaking havoc without mercy, ruthlessly sucking away her life and soul.
At this moment, just watching the chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations spreading out was enough to make one’s heart tremble with fear.
The repeated collisions, collapses, and reconstructions were like the scene before a furnace explosion—ready to erupt at any moment.
The current superficial peace was nothing more than a fragile balance between the two entities and the mother.
But this balance was fleeting and difficult to maintain.
If handled poorly, one wrong move could cause the mother to split in half on the spot.
It would be a case of two corpses and three lives.
There was no time to waste.
They had to act quickly…
Without hesitation, Ji Jue grabbed the bone saw, pulled it open, and the rapidly spinning blade came down.
Blood gushed out like a tide.
The mother, who had been unconscious, woke up instantly, letting out a piercing scream.
But in the midst of the chaos, Ji Jue glanced back at her impatiently.
She immediately closed her eyes, as if falling back into a deep sleep, not daring to move again.
Fine, let’s just say you’re numb now!
Ji Jue didn’t hold back.
He cut straight down the middle, creating a huge gash that made Tong Hua’s eyelids twitch violently, as if she had stumbled into a forensic autopsy scene.
Between his outstretched hands, intricate patterns of "Non-Attack" emerged from beneath his gloves, like a welding torch, sealing and stitching all the bleeding points at an astonishing speed.
Thanks to the vigorous vitality and abnormal structure of the mutated bodies, if this were an ordinary person, they would have already been sent to the ICU by now.
But once the internal organs were exposed, the true severity of the situation became apparent.
Amidst the constant writhing and biting, thin layers of flesh continuously bulged and disappeared, as if a meat grinder was operating wildly inside the body, extracting blood and life, trying to complete itself while causing even greater destruction.
In a struggle more brutal and straightforward than dogs fighting, the two embryos had yet to fully develop.
They were like crabs in a basket, pulling each other back.
Once one embryo grew, it would inevitably devour the other, leaving them locked in a stalemate of mutual destruction, their ferocity growing more violent by the moment.
Assisting in this kind of delivery was no different from sticking your hand into a jar full of venomous snakes.
If the two ghostly fetuses were provoked, they might instantly devour the mother from the inside out, leaving her an empty shell.
At this moment, four green, glowing eyes seemed to peer out from within the amniotic fluid, glaring at the intruder with a ferocity that surpassed even the mother’s.
What are you looking at?
Just wait, I’ll fish you out and stomp on you like pig bladders!
“Oh no, the situation is getting worse,” Ji Jue said, wiping sweat from his forehead, his voice rising in mock panic. “What should we do, Director Qian?”
In the shadows where the surgical lights couldn’t reach, a grotesque smile appeared, still stained with blood, filled with anticipation. “Hmm? Did something go wrong?”
Tong Hua’s scalp tingled, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
She could feel it: in the surrounding darkness, pairs of hungry eyes suddenly lit up.
Like rabid dogs, they were eager to pounce!
“No, everything’s normal so far,” Ji Jue replied. “It’s just that the mother has been in labor for too long and has lost too much blood. I think she needs a blood transfusion.”
“Ah, but our blood bank is empty,” Director Qian sighed regretfully. “Times are tough. As doctors, we must be willing to make sacrifices for our patients…”
“No, as the lead surgeon, we must ensure our own condition to assist the mother in delivering safely. Otherwise, her safety will be hard to guarantee. Besides…”
Ji Jue paused meaningfully, glancing around with a smile. “Aren’t there so many family members here?”
In that instant, all the excited, restless eyes froze.
The figures in the darkness, eagerly closing in, stiffened in place.
Visibly, they took a step back.
Then another.
Trying to shield their loved ones in front of them.
In the dead silence, only Ji Jue’s suggestion rang out: “Since everyone’s so enthusiastic, why not donate some blood on the spot? Director Qian, don’t you think everyone’s eager to help?”
“…”
Director Qian’s expression seemed to falter for a moment, then his smile grew even more exaggerated, filled with delight. “The new guy has a point. Yes, since you’re all family, and you’re already here, why not donate a little? After all, it’s all for the patient’s sake!”
He licked his teeth hungrily, his eyes gleaming with anticipation. “Does anyone object?”
In the prolonged silence, even the sound of breathing seemed to vanish.
Trembling with fear, someone seemed about to speak, but under the mad gaze of the stitching doctor, they didn’t dare open their mouth.
Then, from the hoarse laughter, a shrill scream erupted.
In the darkness, the eerie figures suddenly stiffened, convulsing violently.
It was as if an invisible mouth was gnawing at their souls.
They spasmed and screamed, collapsing one by one.
Thick blood seeped from every pore, pooling on the ground like water, then flowing in winding rivers toward the center.
The blood crawled up the delivery bed, merging into the barely breathing mother, stabilizing her soul, which was on the verge of collapse.
Directly extracting one-fifth of the blood and soul from every family member present, it became a generous supply for Ji Jue to use as he pleased.
“This should be enough, right?” Director Qian rubbed his hands eagerly. “Time waits for no one. Hurry up, move faster. But if you mess up, the family members might not let it slide.”
In the dead silence of the darkness, the crimson eyes were filled with resentment, glaring at Ji Jue, but not daring to make a sound.
They were waiting restlessly for the moment he failed.
Then, they would drag him into hell without mercy!
“Screw it, let’s go, ignore them!”
A spirited shout came from the delivery bed.
Ji Jue, completely ignoring the surrounding gazes, tossed aside his tools, removed his gloves, and plunged his hands like knives into the final layer of flesh and membrane.
With brutal simplicity, he tore it open!
With an enthusiastic shout:
“—Baby, wake up!”
Blood splattered like a tide, and the foul, rotting amniotic fluid gushed out.
Amidst the blurry flesh, two undeveloped ghostly fetuses opened their eyes, like monsters not yet fully formed in the womb, staring at the intruder.
Their eerie, massive green eyes gazed at Ji Jue, filled with hunger.
On their underdeveloped heads, a malicious curve formed.
They smiled.
Then, Ji Jue smiled too.
He couldn’t contain his excitement and joy, almost dancing on the spot.
This was the right place to be!
This was exactly where he needed to be!
Where else in the world could he find such pure spiritual energy freaks?
“Truly… a pair of fine jades!” he praised, leaning in for a closer look, gazing down at the two pairs of cold, widening eyes.
In the reflection of their terrified, shrinking pupils, a horrifying figure seemed to draw closer, grinning, spitting sparks of pain and despair.
Breathing destruction and death.
Just the gaze alone made the two fetal monsters tremble uncontrollably.
Then, they screamed.
So piercing.
At that moment, between Ji Jue’s spread and pressing hands, the Disintegration Technique manifested!
The chaotic spiritual energy fluctuations were like invisible blades, darting and slashing, destroying all tangible forms in an instant.
But then, as his fingers came together again, alchemical forging began!
Non-Attack manifested, turning the mother’s body into a furnace, continuously drawing blood and spiritual energy from the surroundings, initiating a new creation.
The strange sensation of an invisible hand seemed to reappear in his perception.
Effortlessly, the spirits of the two ghostly fetuses were suppressed, all resistance crushed.
Then, the blazing light of spiritual energy combustion surged, surpassing the fury of any flame.
At first, there were some mistakes and shortcomings.
Using a living body as a furnace was different from working with steel, and it was hard to get used to.
But once he adapted, he discovered advantages that a regular furnace couldn’t offer.
This overwhelming supply of life force was like having a chosen healer by his side at all times, allowing Ji Jue to act without restraint, completely disregarding any consequences.
When he practiced with a pocket watch or a bell in the past, he had never experienced such exhilarating freedom.
It was like swiping an unlimited credit card in a shopping mall, with all today’s expenses covered by the family members present!
Like this, like that, and then like this… let’s try this…
Under his masterful control, the structures of the two spiritual energy fetuses were freely altered, dismantled, repaired, and reconstructed.
Their stubborn, ferocious will was far more resilient than the feeble intelligence in the pocket watch, so he didn’t have to worry about crushing them with a little extra force.
In that case, let’s use a bit more strength!
Amidst this brutal dismantling and refining, the mother on the delivery bed couldn’t hold back any longer, letting out a piercing scream.
But Ji Jue was completely focused now, and soon she didn’t even have the strength to scream.
Her abdomen seemed to have a vortex, continuously sucking away her life and soul, absorbing it violently without pause.
If it weren’t for the massive blood supply, she would have already turned to ash in the spiritual energy flames.
But even this wasn’t enough…
As the ghostly fetuses were reshaped and reconstructed, the once abundant supply of life and spiritual energy was now on the verge of collapse.
But it didn’t matter, there were still so many kind-hearted people present…
“Oh no, Director!” Ji Jue shouted in ‘shock,’ looking up for help. “The babies aren’t fully developed. They need an emergency blood transfusion!”
On Director Qian’s stitched face, the cruel smile never wavered. “Then transfuse more blood—”
And then, in the darkness, one after another, the shrill cries of ghosts and wolves echoed.
Winding rivers of blood converged once more, replenishing life and supplying spiritual energy.
But before long, Ji Jue looked up again. “Oh no, Director!”
“Transfuse more blood!” Director Qian waved his hand without hesitation.
The screams rang out again, but this time, they carried a tone of exhaustion.
In the darkness, the once ravenous family members now lay on the ground, barely able to move, their breaths faint, their crimson eyes filled with even deeper hatred.
And then, they heard the call that seemed to demand their lives: “Oh no…”
Director Qian waved his hand. “Transfuse blood!”
