Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 18 They will tell us the truth
In a quiet room.

A hand wearing a black leather glove, holding a scalpel, stabbed slowly into the front cavity of the demon's forehead in a steady posture, and continued to draw down.

A large amount of steam boiled out from the air outlet of the bird's beak mask with the rotation of mechanical gears, cleaning the brown filth splashed on the pale jade eyes.

In his previous life, Rhodes, as a veterinarian, had done countless animal operations. In this life, he has the superposition of his previous experience and the experience of dismembering cattle, sheep and pigs in a slaughterhouse. His hands are quite stable.

The skin of the demon's face was removed, exposing a large amount of black and sticky muscle under the skin.

The original human facial features have long been eroded and dissolved.

Under the mask, Rhodes looked calm, and he began to use a screwdriver in conjunction with other tools to remove the bone.

John was pale, clutching his heart, retching with his face turned aside.

Margaret endured the discomfort and recorded that although her stomach was churning, the respect for the dead in her heart made her maintain an objective belief that she must overcome these difficulties.

After removing the bones, Rhodes signaled John to bring a transparent glass container.

Putting the black shrunken brain into the container, Rhode motioned Margaret to take a closer look.

He pointed the tip of the scalpel at the front of the brain, where there was a row of twisted and weird characters made of black and red lines.

"This is an ancient language. Perhaps, you can record it and go to the library to look it up." The previous knowledge let Rhodes know that this language is an ancient language, but it is not clear which one it is.

"This is an ancient language from the seaside area in the southwest of Ingleville. They have great and ancient meanings, but I don't know some of them." Margaret showed her knowledge, and she frowned. Record the text engraved on the front of the brain in a notebook, and prepare to ask your tutor later.

"So, before the death of this woman who once disappeared, someone had her brain opened and ancient characters tattooed on her brain?" John frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.

"If Miss Margaret has said before, this may be a long-lasting disaster that exists in the dark side of old London."

John perceived certain elements from the only information, but he just had a feeling that there was a huge dark vortex spinning in the dark side of old London.

Suppressing his nausea, he followed Margaret and carefully looked at the shrunken brain.

Rhodes continued to dissect.

The head was no longer found.

In the chest cavity.

The human organs were shrunken and glued together, wrapped in a large amount of black mucous membrane, and the black, smelly, sticky juice made John frown.

Several twisted worms are entangled in it.

Rhodes grabbed the worms and pulled them out, and Margaret drew her sword and chopped them into several pieces.

Rhodes harvested a batch of red wrath power light balls before these worms died.

After taking the enema, Rhodes used it to suck all the mucus in his chest into the bucket at his feet.

In the mucus, there were a large number of dense small worms, and John frowned straightly.

The scalpel cut slowly, taking out all the shrunken organs and placing them in transparent glass containers. Margaret held a magnifying glass and began to carefully search for possible ancient writings on the organs.

Sure enough, she found several obscure and strange words.

exist in the heart and lungs respectively.

"Stars Gather"

A strange syllable came from Margaret's mouth, and she tried to recite the ancient text she found.

"Boom!"

Along with the end of the ancient text recited by Margaret, a strange sound suddenly came from the abdominal cavity of the demon corpse.

Everyone's faces were condensed.

Rhodes raised his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous.

He put his hands in the abdominal cavity and groped to confirm that there was indeed something in the abdominal cavity.

He motioned for Margaret to read the ancient text again.

Margaret's face was serious. She intercepted some familiar words from the collected ancient texts and began to recite them.

"Old, great, stars, gathered."

"Boom!"

The abdominal cavity throbbed again.

This time the intensity is more obvious than last time.

"John, prepare your weapons, listen to my orders, and attack at any time."

The scalpel touched the abdominal cavity, Rhodes pressed down hard, and the moment the abdominal cavity was opened, a wriggling black shadow rushed out.

Rhodes turned his head sideways and moved away a bit.

John tremblingly held the pistol, looking nervously at the gushing thing. He looked at Rhodes with a terrified expression, asking if he wanted to attack.

Margaret looked dignified, and also drew the rapier at her waist, only waiting for Rhodes' attack command.

Under the mask, Rhode squinted at the black gushing thing.

It was a sticky black tentacle.

There are a large number of dense fine hair-like tentacles and black sucker tentacles on the tentacles, and the barbed thorns are located on the suckers.

The tentacle was limp and drooping, looking like a sage model after passion, this is a dead tentacle.

Rhodes made a simple judgment.

"It is dead, but it can still be controlled by the ancient text, Margaret, read it again."

The awkward syllables echoed in the dissecting room.

Accompanied by the end of the last syllable.

The black tentacles seemed to be alive, swaying and wriggling, and slowly gushed out from the entrenched abdominal cavity.

A large number of small black tentacles spread out from its roots.

The red and black ancient characters were engraved on the surface of its body, exuding a dark and inexplicable luster.

"This is a boarding ceremony, trying to revive the precursor of a certain creature through the body of a human or a demon." Rhode carefully recalled Robert's notes, looked for the above phenomenon, and made a simple statement.

Margaret carefully recorded and recognized the seriousness of this incident.

After dismantling the abdominal cavity, Rhodes sawed off the large tentacle with a saw, put it into a glass container as high as a person, and at the same time put the small tentacles into glass containers one by one.

"They will tell us the truth."

Rhodes said calmly, pointing to a row of clue organs taken from demons on the shelf from left to right.

Margaret and John stood on both sides of Rhodes. Their expressions were different, but they were all slightly dignified. The danger of the matter might be much more serious than they imagined.

Re-sew the demon's corpse and try to help it restore its human appearance as much as possible.

Rhodes finally covered it with a white cloth.

Once again, the dissection ends with the ancient etiquette.

Rhodes packed up the utensils and led everyone out of the dissection room.

Margaret went to her tutor with the notes, and she was going to complete the deciphering of the ancient text as soon as possible.

John was going to talk to Director Joseph about the findings in the autopsy and the horrific things Rhodes told. Although he was a bit greedy, he still had a clear understanding of the importance of some things.

As for Rhodes, he is on paid leave.

In the afternoon, Rhodes returned to the slaughterhouse, and saw everyone in the slaughterhouse with ugly faces, especially Will. His face was not very good. His mother disappeared when he went out to buy ingredients yesterday.
