Chapter 1011 - 468: The Bodies Prophets Need, the Way to Delay the Spread of Chaos
[You open your eyes and find yourself and Rona already in a laboratory...]
[The laboratory is a hub of activity, exceptionally busy, not only with transplant doctors clad in black coats and wearing bird-beak masks but also with many Knowledge Scholars.]
[What strikes you as odd is that they all have expressionless faces, their gazes devoid of any flicker of emotion. Even your and Rona’s sudden appearance, having just entered the painting and materializing out of nowhere, fails to attract the slightest attention from them.]
[They are solely focused on the work at hand, meticulous as robots. Were it not for the fact that you hold the ’Flesh Authority’ and can sense that they are indeed living, flesh-and-blood humans, you might think they were Refined Copper automatons clad in human skin.]
[The sight of the transplant doctors at work causes your scalp to tingle, and you can’t help but feel angry inside!]
[On the operating tables, there are numerous human children, along with the bodies of high demons and Star Spirits. The transplant doctors deftly dissect the children’s bodies, the organs of the demons, and the eyeballs of the Star Spirits, to extract needed parts and place them on the Refined Copper trays nearby.]
[The Knowledge Scholars are in charge of assisting, handling the menial and arduous tasks. Once an operating table accumulates enough ’material’ in the Refined Copper trays, someone is dispatched, carrying the heavy trays to the next laboratory...]
[The age of these children is not significant, the youngest being only five or six years old, while the eldest likely no more than ten. As the transplant doctors dissect their bodies, you can even witness their twitching, pulsating muscles and sinews...]
[Clearly, these children were alive just before being sent to the laboratory.]
