During the last battle at sea, Phecda collected a large number of broken Deep One bodies from the deck and the sea. They identified 165 Deep One bodies, 21 of them were relatively intact and 3 were in the most complete state. At the time, Phecda kept one for Gu Jun as per his request.
It had been more than a month since then. The headquarters had already organized a team to perform multiple autopsies on these bodies. Experts like Xiao Huiwen had their fill of the job. At the same time, they were able to avoid the risk of Gu Jun randomly naming the structures of the abnormal creatures.
This kind of abnormal creature posed too many biological problems. There was still no concrete evidence to prove that it was transformed from a human being.
The sequencing of its genome was not complete. It would take a long time but they did share some similarities with humans. Their internal organs and reproductive system could be traced.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation When the command central received Gu Jun's call, even though they had no idea what he was up to, they still obeyed his order. They immediately had the Deep One's body transported from the Spell Department's Medical Building to Bei He City's People's Hospital. Xiao Huiwen, He Tao and other experts also rushed over from the headquarters.
At that moment, inside a forensic autopsy room at the People's Hospital, the pungent smell of formalin permeated the air. Shadowless lamps lit up the autopsy table.
The carcass of the Deep One was placed on the table. It was about 2 metres tall and covered in greyish green scales.
Different from the body that was burnt to death, this one was shot in the chest so it was relatively intact, especially the head.
A group of people in surgical gowns and masks stood around it. They were Gu Jun, Cai Zixuan, Uncle Dan and Xiao Huiwen.
"Guys, if there's nothing else, we'll be here for the next week." Gu Jun told them.
After a long day, they had only rested for 4 hours and a new round of battle was about to begin. There was no time to waste.
He wanted to complete this mission with a 10 star rating to get the biggest and most generous mission reward.
However, no one knew how Xie Yiman's condition would develop in a week. Anything could happen.
"Come and sit if you're tired." A sofa had been set up by the wall. Wu Shiyu sat on it. "It's okay if it's a little crowded."
Other than her, Deng Ximei was there as well. Peacock and Malachite were there as well. After all, they were more familiar with spells and the Ancient Seal than the normal members. Kathlyn stared at the Deep One's body and kept repeating oh my god oh my god …
What kind of God was this? Who knew what kind of evil dark force this kind of creation was?
Gu Jun looked at the strange mermaid head and the pair of protruding eyes. There was an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
It felt like he had seen it before … He did go to the morgue to see this body, but it was the same the first time he saw it.
"Whatever it is, I'll dissect it and see what it is," Gu Jun thought as he placed the four Carlop -brand instruments on the instrument tray on the table.
Knife, scissors, tweezers, and the long-handled hammer.
He told the others that the hammer was a gift from Lucky, a product of Dylath-Leen in the Dreamlands, perhaps the same was true for the rest of the hammer.
"Where should we start?" Xiao Huiwen asked. They were in too much of a hurry, there was no pre-dissection meeting or plan. "I suggest we start with the limbs, warm up the hands." Xiao Huiwen suggested when he watched Gu Jun dissect the zombie last time.
"The face, let's start with the face." Gu Jun said as he used his hand to touch the scales on the fish's face.
This time he was not the first to dissect, he had seen other people's autopsy images and information so there was no need for him to waste time. If this abnormal creature could bring about some kind of illusion, then he should trigger it as soon as possible to get more clues.
The scales soaked in formalin were still hard. When Gu Jun touched them, it felt similar to Xie Yiman's diseased skin …
Was it human? However, the creature's fins, gills, webbed limbs, the shape of its skull and many other details showed that it was a different species.
If it was a human, the transformation would not be caused by skin disease, it would require a long period of mutation, proliferation, keratinization and so on. The biologists came up with a simulation and even the theory was fraught with problems.
Furthermore, there was a premise that troubled everyone. How deep could this abnormal creature dive into the sea?
Different depths would make a huge difference.
There was pressure in the sea. The human record for diving bare-handed without any equipment was 125 metres. Whales could dive up to 2000 metres with their unique physiology. Biologically speaking, the Deep Divers should only be able to dive to a depth of about 500 to 600 metres but they were spotted on the submarines that dived to a depth of 1000 metres.
Other people thought the name 'Deep Ones' came from nowhere but Gu Jun knew it was a name given by the system, there had to be a reason.
If they could only dive to 500 to 600 metres, he did not think the system would call them Deep Ones.
However, whether this thing before him was a Deep One or not, Gu Jun could not be sure.
Therefore, Gu Jun's goal for this autopsy was to find out the relationship between the Deep Ones and this skin disease and to find out how the Deep Ones could dive so deep into the sea.
Even if he could not get to the bottom of it, it would be good to get some clues.
"Let's begin." Gu Jun grabbed a medical marker and drew some lines on the scaly face. Then, he grabbed the scalpel and was about to cut it open. At that moment, he called up the system in his mind and accepted the abyssal mission.
"Mission accepted! Current autopsy completion: 0%, Remaining time: 167: 59: 59. "
"Ah!" Xiao Huiwen gasped. Gu Jun moved too fast for the others to react. "Ah Jun, what kind of lines are these?"
"The shape of prodromal red skin?" Cai Zixuan noticed the difference between a human face and a mermaid's face. The lines were slightly twisted.
"Yes." Gu Jun used the Carlop scalpel to poke at the edge of one of the scales. The sharp tip of the scalpel could not pierce through so he pressed harder.
"Be careful! You have to control your strength. " Xiao Huiwen reminded. He was even more nervous than the scalpel wielder. "There are many nerves on its face!"
Because the scales were tough and tough, they were not easy to cut. If they used too little strength, they would not be able to move it at all. If they used too much strength, some of the scalpels they used before would break. Moreover, if they used too much strength, they would damage the blood vessels and nerve tissues inside.
Xiao Huiwen and He Tao knew how difficult it was. Even though they were busy with autopsies every day, they could not control their strength every time.
At that moment, their eyes widened as they watched Gu Jun's first incision, he did not seem to be fazed.
He increased his strength, and all of a sudden, the strange scalpel did not break apart with a snap, but pierced in.
