Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1361 - 608: Human-Insect Body

"Captain Song, please help me gather some ingredients."

"Not a problem!" Song Zhenrong’s enthusiasm surged. He wasn't concerned about the cost; his primary worry was Ding Hui's silence. As Ding Hui recited a list of materials as if ordering from a menu, he diligently took notes before promptly exiting the room to personally procure them. While he had some common medicinal herbs at home, the rarer items necessitated immediate dispatch for purchasing, and some obscure components might require humbling himself to request assistance. He resolved to gather everything as swiftly as possible, but acknowledging the time involved, he decided to send the readily available items to the room in advance. Once Song Zhenrong departed, only Fang Yu and Ding Hui remained."Diao Deyi, this process might take a while, so... why don't you step out and take a brief walk?" Ding Hui suggested. Her treatment was akin to an experiment, with an unpredictable duration. While she might find it engaging, even slightly thrilling, for anyone uninterested, remaining felt like imprisonment. However, Fang Yu declined. With Song Xi possessing three thousand health points, even in her injured state, Fang Yu couldn't relax, leaving Ding Hui alone in the room with her. Ding Hui, after all, only had a total of one hundred health points. Despite her capabilities, how formidable could she truly be? Facing a vice-captain level combatant with three thousand health points, she would be as fragile as paper. Should any unforeseen incident occur, Ding Hui would be utterly outmatched. Therefore, Fang Yu had no intention of leaving."I'll just sit here; you can proceed with your work." Ding Hui's eyes twinkled with amusement."Are you worried about me?""...Get back to your work!" Noticing Fang Yu avert his gaze, Ding Hui chuckled playfully. Before long, Song Zhenrong returned with the initial batch of materials. This first delivery consisted of the most common items, which Song Zhenrong had swiftly obtained. The remaining ingredients would require more time and would arrive sequentially. He offered apologies for the delay and withdrew to wait outside. Ding Hui waved him off dismissively. As long as the materials kept arriving."Alright, Miss Song, let's commence. It might sting a little, but please endure it. This is all to restore your original appearance." Song Ci remained silent, merely gritting her teeth and closing her eyes, nodding emphatically. To regain her former visage, enduring pain was more than just 'eating bitterness'; she was prepared to sacrifice half her life. Only upon losing it did she grasp the profound importance she placed on her face, her human appearance. Ding Hui began her meticulous work. Initially, she focused on the skin, carefully extracting natural secretions before making shallow incisions on the swollen skin surface with a small blade. Splatter! A viscous, oily fluid mixed with blood began to ooze out. Fang Yu even suspected that the proportion of blood to oil in Song Xi's body might be approaching a one-to-one ratio... Although Fang Yu didn't fully comprehend Ding Hui's techniques, the treatment process itself was surprisingly logical. It was a systematic approach, beginning with an analysis of the patient's mutated characteristics, dissecting each abnormal feature, and then conducting property analyses on various materials. Once a preliminary confirmation was reached, she would proceed to the targeted next steps. Given that Song Xi's condition was largely induced by Ding Hui, she efficiently completed the initial phase – the patient's physical examination. Despite the significant deviation from her initial expectations regarding the nature of the changes, Ding Hui was well aware of whether the root cause was a specific toxin or an Insect Demon. The focus remained on treating the symptoms. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to relay the 'menu items' to Song Zhenrong with such fluency and certainty. When treating a completely unknown patient, determining the appropriate medicine and its dosage, let alone identifying the necessary materials and requesting them directly, would be impossible. As Ding Hui became absorbed in her work, her concentration intensified. She occasionally murmured excitedly in a language Fang Yu couldn't decipher, uttering phrases concerning shared information elements, the extraction of insect eggs' Life Fluid, amplified drug stimulation, and so forth. Fang Yu felt like his mind had gone blank. Despite being present in the room, his attention had drifted. However, if Song Xi on the bed so much as stirred, he would instantly react and rush to her side. As for Song Xi's occasional whimpers, sounds of apparent pain, Fang Yu largely ignored them. Periodically, Ding Hui would summon Fang Yu to assist, perhaps to apply pressure, help restrain someone, or for a similar task. Initially, Fang Yu didn't grasp the need for restraint until he witnessed Ding Hui raise her scalpel and directly excise a portion of Song Xi's flesh and blood! The splattering blood and thick, viscous oil instantly coated the bed, transforming the entire room into a scene resembling a brutal murder or a filthy, disgusting garbage dump."Remain still, don't move..."

Fang Yu mistakenly assumed Ding Hui was addressing Song Xi.

He then noticed that Ding Hui was now holding several insect eggs.

"You..."

Fang Yu faltered, wanting to say something but holding back.

Ding Hui blinked.

"Observe the insect eggs on the ground; severed from blood and flesh, they perish instantly. When they are excised along with the skin and flesh, the eggs erroneously believe they remain within their prior environment, thus failing to initiate emergency self-destruction. Notice the other insect eggs on her person; they are not burrowing into her as they did previously, which suggests these eggs did not receive shared feedback from the information elements. Therefore, the crucial factor is the environment..."
