Extraordinary Pedigree.

Chapter 632: Flower of Blood and Bone: Bloody Plague III
Regarding Ned's suggestion of a solution to the blood shortage for all mankind, Emily smiled as always and said:

"Boss, you're talking about blood socialism again."

She tilted her head, remembering what Ned had often said.

“Establish a global blood database to record the blood types and health information of all donors and realize cross-border blood allocation.

Through data sharing and international cooperation, blood resources can be quickly deployed from other countries or regions when blood is scarce... This idea is really - too dreamy. "

Ned smiled slightly, with a meaningful gleam in his eyes, "Dreamlike?"

Emily caught his fleeting glance and her smile froze slightly.

She felt an unusual chill rising from the bottom of her heart, as if she was in a biting cold wind for an instant.

She thought to herself, "Is this an illusion?"

Emily looked at Ned in confusion and found that the president of the Bluegrass State Blood Center was still the big brother as always, with a gentle smile on his face.

But the feeling just now still lingered in her heart, like a cold snake crawling on her back. It felt like being stared at by a hungry monster that was choosing its prey, and it made her shudder.

dong dong dong-

For a moment, Emily felt like there was something wrong with the blood circulation throughout her body.

She felt her heart suddenly beat faster, as if it was being driven by an invisible force to run rapidly.

As the central pumping station that drives blood circulation, her heart was beating abnormally violently, and each beat brought a violent vibration, causing her body to fall into inexplicable fatigue.

A sudden headache began to invade her consciousness, as if an invisible needle was pricking back and forth between her temples.

She rubbed her brows, trying to ease the pain, but it felt like the early symptoms of a cold, making her thinking slow and confused.

The headache spread through her mind, turning into a heaviness that she couldn't ignore.

She shook her head slightly, trying to wake up, but found that the scene in front of her became a little blurry.

The dizziness of the vision made her steps a little unsteady, and her whole body seemed to be floating in the void, without any actual touch.

Her body began to heat up, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and the fever came in waves like a fever.

"Why do I feel uncomfortable all of a sudden? Do I have a cold..." She thought subconsciously. Every inch of her skin seemed to be protesting against this discomfort.

Just when Emily felt extremely uncomfortable, Ned supported her as she staggered.

The strange thing is that when Ned came into contact with Emily, she felt that the uncomfortable symptoms in her body were suddenly removed.

The originally rapid heartbeat returned to normal, and the headache disappeared as if it was smoothed by gentle hands.

Her breathing became smoother, the heaviness in her chest disappeared, and the fatigue in her body seemed to be dispelled by a warm force.

"Whoo~"

She felt a sense of relief, as if she was pulled out of an abyss of depression.

"I see you're feeling a little uncomfortable. Go and rest first. Leave the blood test here to Demo." Ned looked at Emily with concern.

The Dimo ​​he mentioned is the medical director in charge of medical affairs and quality control of blood products.

"Okay." Emily looked at Ned gratefully, feeling warm in her heart, and then she left the storage room.

Her steps gradually became more stable, and the relaxation in her body helped her regain her strength.

Her figure gradually disappeared into the distance, and Ned just watched her back silently.

As Emily's figure got farther and farther away, Ned's eyes gradually changed from warm to cold.

Those eyes no longer revealed a trace of warmth, but were replaced by a chilling coldness.

The light in his pupils seemed to be instantly drained away, and he looked like a cold-blooded animal without any light, revealing endless coldness and ruthlessness. An elusive smile appeared on his face, carrying unfathomable meanings.

Looking at Emily's gradually disappearing back, Ned took out a rather thick notebook from his arms.

This notebook looks like it has been used for more than ten years. The cover is slightly worn and the corners show signs of age, but because it has been properly maintained, it still appears strong and durable.

The cover is made of dark brown leather, which feels smooth and soft, with an exquisite pattern engraved in the center, giving it a classical feel.

The opened pages are yellowed and slightly curled, obviously having been flipped through and recorded countless times.

Next, Ned pulled out a pen.

The pen has a simple and elegant appearance. The pen barrel is made of shiny black resin material, and the pen cap is gold-plated. The delicate metallic luster flickers slightly under the light. The pen clip is engraved with an exquisite brand logo, revealing a strong retro atmosphere - this is a very classic Parker 51 fountain pen.

Ned held the pen and rubbed his fingers lightly on the pen shaft, as if feeling the familiar touch.

He opened the notebook, and his fingertips gently ran across a few pages, stopping on a specific page of experimental records.

This page is filled with densely packed notes, with neat and clear handwriting, obviously having been repeatedly scrutinized and revised.

——【Experiment number: XJ-001】——

Experiment Name: Blood parasitic project infection experiment

Experiment Date: January 1591, 1 Terran Calendar

Experimental location: Bluegrass State Blood Center

Experimental subject: Emily (first infected person, see the appendix for subsequent subjects)
Experiment leader: William Ned
project description:

The object can enter the host's blood circulation system through any open wound, injection or direct contact. Once in the host's body, it will spread rapidly and merge with the host's blood cells. In the initial infection stage, the host may only show minor physical discomfort and behavioral changes, such as fatigue, headache, mood swings, etc. However, over time, the object will gradually erode the host's central nervous system, affecting its behavior and decision-making ability.

Diffusion Records:

Scope of spread: Some projects have spread to various places outside the state through the center. Please see the subsequent appendix for the specific infected people.

Infected Subjects: Subsequent experimental subjects include:
Item No.: XJ-002 - John Smith

Item No.: XJ-003 - Alice Johnson

No.: XJ-004 - Michael Williams

No.: XJ-005 - Sarah Brown
Remarks:

The speed and effect of the item on the host vary depending on individual differences. Further observation of the specific manifestations and changes of symptoms at each stage is needed in order to formulate effective response strategies.

Note 2:

The idea seeds have been injected into the project, and the sequencing process already has a large number of hosts, group memes or executables.

--------

William Ned used a Parker 51 fountain pen to write down new experimental data on the record page. The tip of the pen slid across the paper, leaving delicate ink marks. Every stroke appeared precise and steady.

Salsasa——

Fluent handwriting continued to appear on the paper, and the chilling content was recorded in his notes in the simplest way.

After finishing the recording, Ned closed the notebook and sighed softly.

Ned put away his notebook and pen and looked at the blood bags in the storage room. As he looked at the blood bags, the shadow behind him began to move, and an incarnation crawled out of his shadow.

This is a terrifying incarnation, half human, half bat, with pale skin, bloodshot eyes, sharp fangs, and wings covered with black scales.

The avatar has long limbs and sharp claws on its fingertips.

It has a pair of curved horns on its head and a long tail extending from its back, with the tip of the tail like a sharp blade.

This is——【Upyr】.

The "vampire" in the ancient legend of the Olitin Empire.

[Upil's] figure looked particularly terrifying in the shadow of the storage room.

Hanging on its body was a skeleton related to the thorax, with 24 ribs showing 12 pairs, tightly fitting on its body like a vest.

The ribs were arranged delicately and regularly, shining with a white luster, as if every bone contained cold power.

In Upil's right hand he holds an arrow made of a breastbone.

The arrow was long and sharp, and looked extremely cold.

A scarab is carved on the tip of the arrow, and the delicate carving makes the scarab come alive.

The body of the [Scarab] glows faintly, as if it can emit a faint light even in the darkness.

After summoning the incarnation, Ned ordered the incarnation to raise the boneworm arrow and point it towards the blood bag.

hum-

[Upil] responded to his master's order, walked slowly to the center of the storage room, and raised the bone worm arrow in his hand.

A strange scene happened. When he raised the insect arrow, a hexagram made of blood suddenly appeared on the ground.

The bright red blood spread rapidly on the ground, forming a complex and delicate pattern.

A strange light flickered at the edge of the hexagram array, and tiny, wriggling floating objects appeared at each of the six angles of the array.

These planktons swam in the blood like living things, emitting a faint red light.

They squirmed, slowly and steadily moving towards the blood bag.

These floating objects seem to have their own will. The trajectories of their movement are like a strange dance, full of ominous atmosphere.

huh~
huh~
huh~
They penetrated the protective layer of the blood bag without any hindrance, poured into the blood like essence, and merged perfectly with the blood.

In every blood bag, the blood began to tremble slightly, as if controlled by some irresistible force.

The dancing of the hexagram array and floating objects makes people feel as if they have entered some kind of different dimension.

Among them, an unexpected set of circumstances caught Ned's attention.

"What's going on?" He frowned and looked at the abnormal blood bags that Nurse Emily had just brought in. After the plankton entered the blood bags, they did not merge immediately, but rolled around inside like a raging sea.

Ned's eyes suddenly became sharp. He knew that this was definitely not an ordinary phenomenon, and the uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He could only signal Upil to move closer with the boneworm arrow. As the incarnation approached, Plankton's pain intensified.

Finally, the blood bag couldn't bear it anymore.

"bump--"

With a violent explosion, the blood bag burst open, and the bright red blood turned into countless blood arrows, like deadly blades, shooting rapidly towards Ned.

Ned's expression changed drastically. He instantly realized that danger was imminent. He shouted hurriedly, "Uppir!"

[Upil] instantly appeared in front of his master, stretched out his sharp claws and swung them. The blood arrow was intercepted by an invisible force in mid-air and stopped in mid-air.

The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and blood drops exploded in an instant, splashing all around.

Ned's face turned pale. He had never seen such a change before, and his heart was filled with shock and confusion.

He knew that the abnormality before him was no accident.

"Someone discovered that the inner hall has awakened..." A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Before William Ned, who survived the disaster, had time to think further, something strange happened again.

click-

A [∞] Möbius strip symbol suddenly appeared at the place where the blood bag exploded.

With its appearance, the space began to distort, producing ripples, as if a stone was thrown into calm water. The ripples then spread rapidly, and the entire space seemed to be torn and compressed by a powerful force.

The center of the ripples began to collapse, forming a dark and deep passage. A faint light was faintly flickering at the end of the passage, as if some indescribable existence was walking out of it.

At the moment before the [Mobius Strip] appeared, Ned felt extremely uneasy and he immediately ordered [Upil] to launch an attack.

bang bang bang-

Countless blood bags exploded in an instant, and bright red blood splattered everywhere, condensing into countless sharp blood blades in the air. With a sharp sound of wind, they were launched in the direction of the [Mobius Strip] at an extremely fast speed.

The blood blade drew red tracks in the air, like a sharp blade cutting through space, pointing directly at the existence that was about to appear.

And just as these two things happened at the same time, a purple eye slowly opened from the space channel.

Those eyes seemed to contain endless depth and indifference as they stared at Ned and his avatar.

Ned felt an inexplicable pressure emanating from those eyes, as if the entire space was frozen at that moment.

Then, a strange sound was heard.

"Buzz——"

The entire space seemed to be shaken by an invisible force. All sounds became silent at this moment, and the blood blade in the air also solidified in mid-air at this moment, unable to move forward any further.

Ned's pupils shrank slightly, and everything around him lost its color. A grayish-white monochrome tone covered everything, and he only felt a trance in front of his eyes.

His consciousness remained at this second.

Subsequently,

Time stops flowing!

call out----

Purple-gold light flickered in the gray-white world. His hands were shaped like hand knives, and the hand knives were filled with distorted spatial fluctuations, like invisible vibrating knives.

His movements were quick and precise, like an efficiently functioning machine.

[Sisyphus] raised his hands and slashed at Ned's arms and leg joints with his hand knife like lightning.

"Universal Vector Authority——"

"Vector cutting!"

Pfft~~~
Accompanied by a puff.

The flesh and blood were rolling and the bones were exposed.

Ned's limbs were cut off in an instant, and his blood coagulated in the air, forming silent blood drops, suspended in the gray world.

The blood formed countless blood beads in the air, each drop was like a solidified ruby, suspended beside Ned.

The bones are exposed at the cuts, and the white bones are particularly eye-catching, contrasting sharply with the gray background.

The severed limbs floated quietly in the air, as if they had lost the pull of gravity.

The whole scene is like a quiet painting. Blood, bones, severed limbs, everything is frozen in the gray world, forming a shocking picture.

In just a blink of an eye, William Ned turned into a human pig.

As Sisyphus raised his sword and swung it down, the fourth sword-wielder in heaven slowly walked out of the twisted space passage.

The blond young man moved gracefully and calmly, like a gentleman strolling in the courtyard.

The top hat in his left hand slightly covered his eyes, adding a touch of mystery, while the cane in his right hand made a slight tapping sound on the ground.

Under the top hat, the pair of golden eyes observed everything calmly, making sure that Ned's limbs were completely cut off.

call out--

As Xia Xiu walked out of the passage, another incarnation quickly emerged from his body.

Holding two flaming swords and carrying three pairs of light particle wings, [Metatron] rushed towards [Upil].

The appearance of the six-winged angel was like a dazzling light, instantly lighting up the gray and white world of time stop.

When Metatron approached Upil, the six-winged angel suddenly paused.

Xia Xiu's brows immediately furrowed, and his expression became serious and focused.

[Metatron] paused, and the light particle wings vibrated slightly. He distanced himself from the others, and with both hands he held the two flaming giant swords together. The flaming giant sword instantly extended to a length of seven meters.

The angel swung the huge sword like a baseball bat and smashed it hard at [Upil].

Peng————

[Upil]'s figure becomes shrimp-like during the time stop, and terrifying kinetic energy will explode after the time stop.

"Buzz——"

Time resumed its flow, the gray world receded like the tide, and colors filled the entire space again.

Ned regained consciousness and felt a sharp pain. He looked down and saw his severed limbs, his eyes filled with disbelief and confusion.

puff~
puff~
puff~
puff~
Broken limbs fell to the ground, bones and blood splattered, and bright red liquid quickly spread on the ground, forming a shocking pool of blood.

The blood seemed to magnify in his vision, and pain came like a tide, running through all his nerves.

The pain was as severe as being torn apart, making his mind a mess.

The severe pain made his thoughts blurry.

"Ahhh-"

“Hand, my hand!!!”

Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the pain in his broken limbs seemed to mock his incompetence.

Rumbling--

On the other side, a loud roar was heard. It was Upil flying towards the wall like a baseball after the time stop ended.

With a loud bang, Upil slammed into the metal wall hard. The entire wall shook violently and a spider-web-like crack appeared on the wall.

The cracks on the wall spread rapidly like strange lines, as if they were going to tear the entire space apart.

[Upil's] figure was embedded in the metal wall, the outline of his limbs and body deeply embedded in the wall, blood oozing from the wounds and flowing along the wall.

The huge impact made the air filled with a burnt smell, and the wall was left with the mark of [Upil]'s body, like a horrible painting.

Xia Xiu stood in the center. He did not look at the miserable Ned, but at Upil who was struggling frantically embedded in the wall.

His eyes were calm, as if he was examining a harmless prey.

At the same time, he raised his right hand holding the cane and looked at the base of his middle finger and index finger, where something strange was happening.

The skin suddenly cracked, and a strange eyeball slowly emerged from the crack.

The eyeball was covered with red bloodshot, making it look particularly terrifying.

It glanced around, its eyes moving restlessly, as if looking for something.

Suddenly, it stopped and met Xia Xiu's eyes. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped, and Xia Xiu's golden pupils and the strange eyeballs stared at each other.

Xia Xiu watched, his brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of surprise.

Then, he mobilized the power of his flesh to suppress the organ that had emerged out of thin air.

[Flesh and Blood Shaping Art: Activate——]
A faint red light flashed on the back of his hand, and his eyeballs began to distort under the red light, as if oppressed by some powerful force.

The eyeball struggled in pain, but was soon swallowed up by powerful force.

The eyeball gradually disappeared, the cracked skin closed again, and everything returned to normal.

Xia Xiu lowered his head and checked the back of his hand to confirm that there were no marks left.

Then, the pair of golden eyes looked at Upil and the object in his hand.

"The second insect arrow..."
