The Cell Tissue's Unknown Whereabouts

"Beep... beep... beep..."

The instruments monitoring vital signs are operating smoothly.

The researchers were busy with their own tasks, occasionally reporting aloud the processed data structures.

The experimental subject named Chi An continuously provided them with the indicators needed for subsequent replication experiments.

No one intended to request permission from their superiors to send an action team out to help Chi An through the danger period.

They didn't actually care whether the test subject lived or died.

Previously, the concern about whether he could live was only because of his ability to...

It simply provides more valuable experimental data.

If external factors are introduced at this point to ensure his survival, it will only interfere with the data collection process.

It's not worth the risk.

Moreover, they had confidence in Chi An.

We've survived so many years of experiments, there's no reason we shouldn't fail this time.

Just as everyone was processing the data methodically, an unexpected change occurred.

"Report! The experimental subject has lost signal!"

A researcher responsible for recording real-time data on Psychic Energy fluctuations was the first to discover the clues.

Immediately afterwards, the slightly delayed vital signs data also lost signal.

From this point on, the instruments successively lost the target signal.

Chi An seemed to have vanished from the world in an instant.

At this moment, the researchers could no longer sit still.

Panic and fear were written all over their faces, and the entire Laboratory was in an uproar.

Meanwhile, Chi An was still moving in a certain direction.

He hadn't walked at such a slow pace in a long time.

But now, he uses most of his energy to maintain the balance of his body's internal environment.

There's simply no energy left to attend to external circumstances.

Therefore, when Shisui landed on the treetop fifteen meters behind him, he didn't even notice.

They also failed to notice that the thin mist rising around them had already separated this place from the outside world.

His Shisui, Kakugan stared intently at him.

With a slightly intrigued gaze, he dissected Chi An's physical condition with the precision of a scalpel.

A completely different kind of energy, distinct from Chi An Psychic Energy, is now vying for dominance on his stage.

Currently, the Eye of Madness Cells, whose numbers have suddenly increased dramatically, have gained the upper hand.

However, the Undying Cells gradually stabilized the defense line thanks to their strong survival ability and impressive proliferation rate.

Therefore, as long as Chi An, as the carrier, holds on, their duel will eventually fall into a stalemate again.

Then, just like before, it returns to a dynamic equilibrium.

However, all of this is predicated on the premise that Chi An's physical body, as the vessel, is immortal.

Furthermore, their souls and wills are not torn apart by the aftershocks of the battle between the two sides.

"Oh, I see."

Shisui understood why Chi An could accommodate these two types of cells.

It wasn't because of the arrogant researchers' tireless modifications.

What truly sustained him was his own talent.

At this moment, the Psychic Energy belonging to Chi An surrounded his soul, flickering in and out of focus amidst the clash of the two forces.

It appears to be on the verge of collapse, yet it is remarkably resilient.

This power originates from the soul of Chi An; no matter how much the Demon Race tortures other experimental subjects, they cannot replicate this result.

From this perspective, Chi An is indeed a once-in-a-century genius.

Unfortunately, the two types of cells from the Heaven-Controlling Realm granted him a relatively long lifespan and a false sense of immortality.

However, it also sowed the seeds of a fatal hidden danger for him, destroying his original foundation and limiting his potential.

Shisui watched Chi An slowly moving forward, and began a countdown in his mind.

6,5,4,3,2,1.

With the last trace of Psychic Energy originating Chi An's soul depleted, [The Outsider] instantly came to a standstill.

The two raging energies collided directly without any buffer.

The soul caught in the middle bears the brunt.

Fine cracks Chi An appeared all over Chi An's body, and a few drops of blood oozed out.

The body's self-repair speed is starting to lag behind the rate of damage.

"Thump!"

Chi An collapsed in the dense bushes under the shade of the tree.

The damage to his soul was clearly more severe than to his body, causing him to briefly fall into a coma.

Just as Shisui was about to step forward to check on Chi An's condition, his body began to undergo strange changes.

The shape of his eyeballs began to emerge beneath his skin.

Immediately afterwards, the skin cracked open, black blood gushed out, and scarlet, Eye of Madness opened.

Then, the pair of black wings behind Chi An began to twist and deform.

Shisui then realized that after the Psychic Energy covering the wings was removed, underneath was a whole block of Undying Cells.

He guessed that these wings, including the ear feathers behind his ears, were not Chi An was born with.

It's probably another consequence of some kind of organ transplant experiment.

As Shisui pondered this, scattered eyeballs began to appear on the wings composed of Undying Cells.

Clearly, Chi An's near-death state stimulated the two types of cells currently parasitizing his body.

No matter how strong they are, they cannot live independently for a long time, so they are unwilling to lose their current host.

Starting with this shared interest, the two sides began to integrate once again.

"Sigh, people only realize the importance of compromise when they're about to die."

However, Shisui did not approve of their belated attempt to salvage the situation.

"As expected, this is the extent to which an organization can function solely on instinct."

Before the fusion was complete, Chi An's soul should have been crushed into pieces by the pressure from the Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness.

Shisui stepped forward leisurely, and a large amount of Feather Powder enveloped Chi An's body.

Currently, Chi An's heartbeat and breathing are becoming increasingly weak.

Before he breathed his last, Shisui had to find the source of the Eye of Madness within him.

Two eyeballs and a clump of cells in total.

The Feather Powder, carrying a large number of Rc Cells, began to enter Chi An's body through the wounds on his skin.

These Rc Cells behaved very cautiously.

They cautiously disguised themselves as Chi An somatic cells, temporarily fooling the Undying Cells and the Eye of Madness Cells who were busy "negotiating".

Shisui controls the Rc Cells, taking the lead in exploring the major organs throughout the body, as well as the transplanted parts in various parts of the body.

He was lucky; he found the two eyeballs almost instantly.

One located in the eye area of Chi An.

It is deeply rooted in the eye socket, with numerous nerves connected to the Chi An brain.

Presumably, it was the first eyeball that the Demon Race researchers transplanted into Chi An's body.

The other one is parasitic in the lungs, constantly absorbing external Psychic Energy, and its connection with Chi An is not very deep.

After finding the two eyeballs, Shisui couldn't find the tissue that had recently entered Chi An's body anywhere.
