Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 821 Scalpel and Sutures

All cells within the containment facility could have their arrangements altered to some extent according to Wen Wen's will.

This sudden emergence of spikes was merely the most basic application.

"I advise you to confess truthfully. Otherwise, what I am about to do to you will be far more terrifying than what you just experienced."

Having managed the facility for so long, Wen Wen had developed a set interrogation procedure. Unless the subject was a true iron man who could endure anything, they would surely buckle under Wen Wen's questioning.

The Butcher suddenly laughed, appearing somewhat relaxed.

"You know, my will is actually quite weak, so I wouldn't be able to withstand interrogation. But I won't give you the chance to interrogate me!"

"Won't give me a chance to interrogate? Are you planning to commit suicide?

With a wave of his hand, several chains materialized out of thin air, binding the Butcher and restraining the power within his body.

"Suicide?"

The Butcher shook his head.

"I already told you my will is weak, so how could I dare commit suicide? I'm just going to take a nap..."

As he spoke, his strength grew weaker, and with a sudden cough, the two holes in his nose began to bleed foul-smelling blood, along with some yellowish-white matter.

Wen Wen's expression changed drastically. He rushed into the cell and found that the Butcher had fallen into a deep coma.

He immediately activated his Disaster Warden state to examine the Butcher's physical condition. He discovered that while the Butcher's body still maintained some vitality, his brain had completely deteriorated.

In this state, he wouldn't die, but he also wouldn't be able to answer any questions.

His brain was teeming with pale purple venom, which originated from his scalpel. He had been poisoned before entering the facility, and the venom had only erupted now because the Butcher had been suppressing it.

Upon realizing he might be captured by Wen Wen, the Butcher had decisively acted against himself, intending to prevent Wen Wen from extracting any information.

This approach, though seemingly brutal, caused him no significant harm.

He firmly believed that 'Scarlet Sovereign' would kill Wen Wen and rescue him. At that point, he would only need to be killed once in the dimming realm to fully recover.

A vein on Wen Wen's forehead twitched a few times. He considered directly dismembering the Butcher and feeding him to the triplets, but he restrained himself and let go of the idea.

After all, the Butcher was a Disaster-level C-order monster. Even though he had become a plant undead, his abilities could still be utilized, so it would be a waste to discard him like this.

Wen Wen stripped the Butcher of all his valuable possessions, ultimately finding only the purple scalpel and a spatial ring made of white bone. The needle with the black thread was already in Wen Wen's hand.

The scalpel was extremely sharp, possessing formidable cutting capabilities, though nowhere near that of the Blood River Sword. It carried a potent toxin, and any wound inflicted by it would paralyze the victim within a very short time.

After some research, Wen Wen discovered that flesh cut by this scalpel would not lose its vitality under the effect of the toxin.

He used the scalpel to sever small parts of three monsters' limbs. The result was that even when separated from their bodies, these limbs remained alive.

The Butcher's ability to detach limbs during combat was likely due to the scalpel's power.

As for the needle with the black thread, its abilities greatly amazed Wen Wen.

Firstly, the thread on the needle was incredibly tough and could be used as a weapon similar to steel wire.

Furthermore, by sealing off a confined space with this thread, a domain that favored the needle's wielder could be created. This was precisely the strategy the Butcher had intended to employ when fighting Wen Wen earlier.

Additionally, the needle could be used to stitch together limbs separated by the scalpel, making the healed limbs appear as if they had grown together originally.

This stitching process did not necessarily require the original limbs. This meant that by using the scalpel and needle, one could attach a human head to a dog's body or a dog's head to a human's body, and both would be able to survive.

Each of the Butcher's limbs exhibited slightly different combat styles, which was because many of his components were sourced from other monsters!

Moreover, if there were too many wounds stitched with the thread on a person's body, the thread would burrow into it.

Individuals whose bodies were occupied by the thread could maintain their consciousness normally. However, at the request of the needle's wielder, the controlled person would immediately lose their self and become a puppet.

This scalpel and needle were likely a set of superpowered items, their combined power undoubtedly comparable to the Bow of Gestation.

These two superpowered items left Wen Wen highly satisfied, and he eagerly opened the Butcher's spatial ring.

Upon seeing the contents, Wen Wen's face contorted in shock. The spatial ring contained no valuable items whatsoever; it only held corpses crudely stitched together in a chaotic manner.

Humans and insects, any wild beast, humans and sea fish...

Just looking at these things made Wen Wen feel nauseous. This was likely one of the Butcher's trump cards, but before he could unleash it, Wen Wen had seized his needle!

If Wen Wen wished, these abominations could be utilized to great effect at any moment. But Wen Wen did not wish to!

He took out all the stitched corpses and incinerated them with a great fire.

Such things, filled with human despair, should not exist in this world.

Wen Wen glared ominously at the Butcher. If he weren't a brainless plant undead at the moment, Wen Wen would have sent him to the execution chamber for a thorough experience!

The long night passed as Wen Wen studied the Butcher's belongings.

As the sun peeked over the horizon the next day, Wen Wen emerged from the Gaan Zhet Temple and surveyed his surroundings, his expression darkening once more.

His mood had been anything but good in this godforsaken place.

He saw that the more than a hundred people who had lodged outside the temple the previous night were now kneeling in unison before the headless bloody idol, beseeching the Scarlet Sovereign for their protection!

Wen Wen had initially planned to help these people if they spoke favorably to him when he came out in the morning.

However, the scene before him made him abandon that thought.

After the anger subsided, Wen Wen felt a sense of sorrow.

Though they were foolish, ignorant, and detestable, they also yearned to live.

This idol was their only hope, and naturally, they were unwilling to abandon their faith in the Scarlet Sovereign.

While contemplating this, Wen Wen saw Su Nuo approaching him with red-rimmed eyes.

Su Nuo had not slept all night. He had spent the first half of the night contemplating his future and the latter half venturing out of the Gaan Zhet Temple to explore his abilities.

Wen Wen had observed Su Nuo's abilities through his Mirror Eye the previous day.

Su Nuo's abilities were simple and direct: he could fire bullets from his fingers and unleash energy cannons from his palms!

Among the superpowered individuals in the exploration phase, Su Nuo's abilities were undoubtedly among the strongest in terms of destructive power.
