Chapter 32 Dialogue with Death
"Who are you? A tool for transmitting sounds? Alchemy items? Magic puppet?" The crow man's voice had a sense of hollowness, like a terminally ill asthma patient talking, occasionally mixed with a gurgling sound.
"I am just an ordinary scholar, a real living person." Lyon got up from the table and sorted out his clothes.
"A living person will not sit here and talk like nothing is wrong after suffering such severe injuries and shedding so much blood." The crow man raised his own question.
"You have many problems. If you go to Teutonic as a student, you must be the old man's favorite student." Lyon jumped off the table and began to move his body.
Lyon: "Just a simple deformation. I think you should be proficient in biology. Do you know why humans will die if they suffer from such injuries?"
Crow Man: "The body was injured in five parts, cutting off blood vessels and muscles, causing heavy bleeding, the human organs failed due to insufficient blood supply, the heart stopped beating and could not provide oxygen to the brain, and finally the brain died."
Lyon: "But these injuries are not a problem for many other creatures, such as many bugs, who have the ability to abandon part of their bodies to escape. There is even a large earthworm in the southern swamp. They will not die if they are chopped up but will differentiate into multiple individuals. Of course, the earthworm is not a bug."
Masked man: "I have never seen that kind of earthworm. After all, I haven't been to many places. But what do you want to explain?"
"If I become that way, I will not die, right? The blood vessels in the human body no longer have the ability to transmit oxygen. This task is replaced by the skin. The skin directly extracts oxygen from the air and passes it around the heart to the brain. It turns itself into an earthworm that will not die due to cutting, except for its appearance." Lyon has completely returned to the human state, a lively human being. "It is very easy to pretend to die after avoiding death. There is a kind of toad in the snowy mountains in the north. They will completely bury themselves in the ice in winter. This is not hibernation but a pure zombie state. The heart no longer beats, the blood stops flowing, and the whole body is in a dead dormant state, but if spring comes, they will wake up immediately. So I will continue to turn myself into a toad."
The crow man stood up and paced around the room, apparently the impact of what Lyon said had on him was too great.
"So who are you?"
"A human, you can call me Lyon."
"Humans don't have this ability. Are you a shapeshifter?"
It’s not a surprise to the Crow Man that thinks Lyon is a shapeshifter. Lyon’s behavior and appearance are indeed too similar to a shapeshifter.
The metamorphosis is a very rare neutral creature. They can become any creature they have seen, but most of them will choose to become humans and live in human cities. Because of their excellent deformation ability, this allows them to have outstanding talents in fraud, fool others, etc., and this talent also makes it easy for them to live a good life in human society.
The original appearance of the deformed monster is similar to that of humans, but its skin is paler and hairless. The slender limbs make them look quite weak. The non-human yellow eyeballs are vertical pupils like animals.
Lyon bit his lip and did not answer the question, "You have too many questions. You have to answer a few questions before you can continue asking questions."
"No problem." The crow man agreed decisively. He was really too obsessed with the secrets of Lyon's body.
Lyon: "What's your name?"
Crow Man: "No name, if you have to call me by me, please call me Tucker."
"Is it still a crow? It seems that you are quite obsessed with animals like crows that represent death and have a keen sense of senses." Lyon smiled, "Okay, the next question, is the one who regulates my student the breathing service you?"
It can be seen that Tucker was a little surprised to hear this question, "No, you may have misunderstood something, but I don't have ** at all. So women are just a burden. They are not suitable for staying with me due to their body structure and physiological characteristics. Of course, I think I may know who this person is."
"Who is it?"
"Your Highness, he just left here, and he was very lustful."
"Which prince?"
Tucker said the name of a country, and Lyon discovered that it was the small kingdom not far from Toto City, and it seemed that the unlucky soldier team used by Lyon was also from that kingdom.
Lyon: "But I didn't find any traces of anyone in the room above?"
"A simple phonist, my alchemy creature work, the prince speaks below and then his voice is heard by the phonist above."
"Can you tell me in detail about the prince and the chamber of commerce?"
Taxx thought about it. He was not particularly good at fighting the political infighting of kingdoms, he needed to organize some language.
"The old king is about to die, but he does not want to give up his rights and die, so he found me and asked his confidants to buy a chamber of commerce far away as a guise for me to provide me with funds and raw materials."
"What did the old king ask you to study? Is the panacea atzot?"
"Of course, he also named the chamber of commerce Azott. But unfortunately, his son seemed to have discovered Azott's existence and took over it without the king's knowledge."
"So you're researching for the prince now?"
"It's not for him to study it. He said that as long as I don't study the panacea, I never thought I could make the panacea."
"Those bugs?"
"My personal hobbies, although their use is evil, those golden villains are my early works in the early days of my research. They are implanted into the human body and then used as a fuse to induce spontaneous combustion in the human body. As for this bug..." Tucker showed Lyon the golden embryo that was just about to be implanted into Lyon's head. "A puppet device, you can see those fat people, and they are controlled by these little things. Compress the remaining functions of the host to obtain explosive power, but the success rate is very low, and those fat people are almost killed by you."
Tucker continued, "It's all gone, but I don't feel sorry for me, because those things are just defective products in my opinion, but the prince obviously doesn't think so. When I told him that there seemed to be someone living opposite my secret laboratory, he wanted to use these fat people to kill those people like a child who got a new toy. He complained to me and then hurried back to the capital with his men."
The princes seemed to be all troublesome creatures, with huge powers but most of them had no brains, Lyon thought.
Lyon: "If you guessed correctly, the prince wanted to use the fat people as a bargaining chip for his power, but he didn't seem to be ruined by us."
Tucker: "It seems like this. He just complained to me about a lot of such things. What an old man is still alive, holding the inner guard and not letting go, the young uncle has ambitions and so on."
It seems that this is true, so that is why they sent a team of recruits with no combat effectiveness to deal with the space crack incident. Those people didn't want to make mistakes because their elite soldiers were far away from the capital. Everyone held their own military power tightly, so this unlucky errand fell on those unlucky people.
"The last question." Lyon raised a finger, "Who are you? I can't smell the living person in you."
"What do you think I am?" Tucker took off his crow mask and revealed his original face that had been hiding in the darkness.
"I think I'm just talking to death, it's really interesting." Lyon raised his eyebrows and observed Tucker with interest.
