Chapter 1 Work
It's dark.
All the crows are coming out.
There was a black cave waiting for the traveler who was carrying a torch. This man had been to the far north before and cooked a fish in the bitter cold wind. After eating the fish, he rushed here without a second meal.
It can be seen that he is not a casual tourist, he came here with a purpose, which is his job.
The torch lit up, and the man used his finger to strode the flame on the torch became stronger and stronger. It was not until the flame came to the passing line in his heart that he stopped this little magic trick.
Maybe he should introduce himself at this time and say it in a playful way. My name is Alos, who is eighteen years old and is now in the business of collecting corpses.
Shortly after entering the cave, the experienced Ailos discovered some abnormalities. There were some residues of rat shit on the rock walls of the cave. This kind of small thing with tenacious vitality would appear in various gloomy corners.
Distinguishing their species by virtue of their excrement is the basic skill in the corpse collector industry. According to Ailos' judgment, this mouse is a Carsoner camouflage mouse.
This kind of small thing is particularly sensitive to minerals, and they often appear in some accompanying minerals.
Maybe there will be some special gains.
Elos is always looking forward to getting some unexpected gains during the journey. There are too few people in this industry. Looking at the entire city of Carta, it is difficult to find a peer.
Loneliness is the norm, and there is no personal insurance. If you die outside, you will probably have no bones left. In short, it is a boring and boring job.
Continue to move into the cave, the ground began to become wet, and water traces penetrated from the cracks of the surrounding stones. Ailos took a torch to illuminate the water stains on the ground, then tentatively used his fingers, put them on the tip of his nose and smelled them.
A familiar fishy smell passed through his sense of smell and reached the center of his brain. The thinking body in his brain quickly made a judgment that this was the blood from his target.
It seems that this trip is going well.
Elos didn't expect that he could find clues to his target just after entering the hole, which was also a rare "rare event" for him.
Airos remained full of interest in this unexpected luck.
Not far further in, Ailos saw some shining crystal minerals, which were exposed between the rock walls, emitting a dark blue light, illuminating the road ahead.
The mineral is ridge-shaped, like crystal barbs, making the entire cave look a bit ferocious.
Elos is a corpse collector, not a mineralogist, and he doesn't know much about the characteristics of these minerals, but this is a must-pass place to go to the destination, and he must walk from here.
Just be careful.
Ailos walked into the rocks of barbed minerals, and all of these minerals lit up at this moment. The dark blue began to overflow into the dark blue, just like some kind of energy charging. Suddenly, the charged ridge-like minerals began to stretch one by one, piercing out like sharp swords.
Faced with such a small trap, Ailos naturally dodged left and right, and avoided all of them in just a few strokes. None of these sharp sword-like minerals stabbed him.
Halfway through, Ailos thought these cute minerals were just a small episode of this job, but the change happened at this moment.
After completing the stabbing process, the mineral that was originally stabbed like a sword did not end its movement. It began to shine, and the blue light became stronger and stronger. In the end, the entire cave began to flash to varying degrees.
These flashes spread rapidly, like flash bombs that exploded directly, such a strong light was enough to deprive anyone of their vision in an instant.
Elos' reaction was already very fast. He quickly closed his eyes and then covered his eyes with his hands, but he was inevitably hit. His eyes began to ache and his eyes were blank.
Just as Elos was controlled, a bunch of bats flew out from the depths of the cave. These bats were all empty and fixed, without a certain form. Their wings and bodies were made up of dark blue light.
Sure enough, today's work is not easy either.
Elos muttered, but his hands kept moving. He snapped his fingers into the air, and then a burst of air appeared in front of him. The dark blue bats rushing towards him exploded one by one with this burst.
Elos continued to cover his eyes and moved forward. He accurately avoided every sharp crystal bulge. The occasional dark blue bats appeared were also removed by him with his finger snapping.
After a while, he walked out of this area. He slowly opened his eyes and found that it was a small pool with a corpse soaked in the pool. This was the goal of Ailos' trip.
The blood flowed out of the corpse formed this small pool, but now the blood has dried up and the corpse will not hold the blood again, so the corpse floated on the pool.
After seeing the corpse, Ailos breathed a sigh of relief. He began to work. He took out a set of tool clips from his backpack and spread them open. The exquisite silver tools began to appear.
These silver knives are top-level products of craftsmen, and Alos also found them with great effort.
Elos compared the size of the corpse, and then took out the silver knife of the appropriate size based on the size of the comparison.
What he will do next is the first step in the work of collecting corpses, dissection.
Ordinary corpse collectors will choose to transport the corpse to a safe and stable area and dissect it in the perfect airspace created by runes. Ailos has always been a radical faction among corpse collectors.
He likes scene, instantly, unprotected anatomy.
He sharpened his knife and walked into the pool where the corpse was located. The water or blood was submerged to half of the legs of Ailos. The smell of fishy air was so strong that it would make any ordinary person vomit.
But Ailos was just excited at this moment. The blood of the corpse had already made him feel a little different. The blue crystal just now was mostly affected by the blood of the corpse, which caused this mutation.
The beginning of the dissection was a scrutiny. Although his eyes had been damaged just now, Alos didn't care at all. He carefully looked up and down the body.
According to the conventional classification of corpses, this corpse belongs to the Demon race. The Demon race has both human flexibility in thinking and the physical advantages of demons, but the disadvantage is that their spirits often have a certain special disease.
The body is more than two meters long, with obvious raised horns on the head, and the eyes are about the size of a half-human baby. The teeth are severely worn, hard scales are produced at the end of the spine, and flesh and whiskers begin to appear on the nails.
The body has no obvious scars and does not seem to have died of external attacks.
Ailos recorded these surface features one by one, and then the formal dissection began. Ailos directly touched the surface of the corpse and then began to look for the spiritual line.
The purpose of anatomy is not only to understand the special structure of organisms, but also to find its own spiritual operation mechanism. The spiritual line is the key to spiritual operation.
The spiritual line of this corpse starts from the armpit, connects to the second spine, then turns to the palm of the right hand, and finally reaches the fingertips. This is a spiritual line that does not pass through the brain.
According to Elos's experience, this spiritual line should be to strengthen the strength of the upper body.
However, it is obvious that the secret of this corpse is more than that. Ailos found another spiritual thread at the back of the corpse, which is directly connected to the spine from the back of the head.
This spiritual body line is drawn too straight, and Elos is not easy to judge what kind of spiritual body is running, which will result in such a running route.
But it doesn't matter, just open the body and take a look.
A coarse corpse collector will dissect the abdomen from the most convenient abdomen, and an old qualification like Alos usually peels off all the skin along the lines of the bones like peeling lotus flowers.
The knife followed the person, and Alos quickly entered the working state. The silver knife in his hand quickly turned out a knife flower, and then it penetrated into the skin, pulling open the skin tissue inch by inch, bit by bit, carefully picking out the nerves and approaching the bones.
Soon, the body stretched out in a special way, and the skin began to scatter in the pool of blood, the bones were revealed, and the precise internal organ connection began to be fully displayed.
That special spiritual body line structure was also fully displayed in front of Ailos at this moment.
Spiritual body lines, also known as spiritual body lines, are actually some characteristics that special energy operates in the living body, while this line directly connected to the brain shows other characteristics.
On this spiritual line, the demon's back muscles were twisted into a ball, just like clothes that had just been pulled out of the washing machine, and his internal organs were constantly approaching the spiritual line, showing a terrible twist.
Faced with such a special corpse, Ailos took out his notebook and recorded it, which is also an important part of the anatomy step.
After drawing the entire structure of the demon corpse onto the notebook, Ailos began to carry out the next step of work.
The second step for collecting corpses is to take assimilation potions.
In this regard, different potions should be used according to the different corpses. This is all determined by the corpse collector himself on the spot. Each potion must adapt to the current situation.
The dissection of the corpse is also an observation work that needs to be done to adapt to the on-site ratio of the potion.
Elos took out the prepared grass leaves, animal internal organs, monster crystals, and aquatic bubble plants from his backpack, and he put out these things.
After these things were arranged, Alos took out a glass bottle and began to temper. He moistened his thumb and index finger, and the flames began to rise from the cracks of the stones on the ground. Everything was thrown into the flames by Alos and began to merge and temper.
The quenched liquid was flowed into the glass bottle, and Ailos began to perform subsequent distillation and other procedures. The whole process lasted for about ten minutes. The liquid extracted was the assimilation potion prepared based on Ailos' observation of the corpse of the demon.
Once the potion is released, the matter comes to the last step, which is to collect the corpse.
The purpose of collecting corpses does not mean restraining, but rather contains, and collects.
Each corpse is accompanied by a unique force, and the soul and memory will disappear with death, but the body leaves traces of the creature's life, hidden knowledge of evolution.
Looking at the corpse, Ailos poured the assimilation potion into his throat, and the effect of the medicine began to evaporate. Ailos lay down towards the corpse in front of him, and his body also began to dissolve in the process of lying down, just like water gradually completing some kind of "resonance" with the corpse.
All the water that the body of Ailos had completely merged into the corpse, and all the peeled skin began to close little by little with the fusion of the water.
When the last inch of skin was completed, the body began to undergo some change, and the power of the potion began to continue to work, and a faint glow lingered in the entire blood pool.
At this point, the corpse collection work of the corpse collector has been completed.
