Utilizing the Pituitary Gland

[Youth Apartment]

"Huh? The City Investigation Bureau assigned you to this corner? Can anyone even live in such a small room?"

Anna's build was definitely not suitable for this kind of studio apartment. As soon as she entered, she started to nitpick, and when she plopped down on the not-so-sturdy sofa, the lower structure was creaking.

"It's okay if you live alone."

Luo Di came out of the kitchen, carrying a cup of his own brewed tea.

"No need to be so polite with me, come and sit down~ I'll show you something good."

Anna grabbed Luo Di's wrist and pulled hard! The force caused him to lose his balance and fall onto the sofa with a thud.

I opened the backpack and smelled the raw meat again.

Also wrapped in a shroud, a heavy object resembling an axe (without a handle) was taken out.

"Last month, I went on my first mission with a senior investigator from Jupiter City. While sealing off the city, we discovered Pseudo-Human who was trying to escape. I eventually managed to kill him head-on, but he was restrained by my senior."

The other person's Pituitary Gland then rewarded me.

After careful consideration, I took the "Pituitary Gland" to the City Research Bureau, and with their assistance, they created this Corner-transforming item that is very suitable for me.

Furthermore, the way the pituitary gland attaches is different from the way your knife, Luo Di, works.

"Let's open it and take a look."

Luo Di was also very curious about these kinds of things, not to mention that "axe" is a common type of weapon in killer movies, and Anna's figure was a perfect match.

As the shroud was removed layer by layer...

The strong smell of flesh reminded him of a Flesh-type Imposter he had once encountered, but unfortunately he hadn't been able to kill it head-on back then.

I thought it would be an axe made of flesh and blood, but what I saw was just a large block of iron. The smell was only coming from the hole at the end of the axe head where the handle was attached.

but,

The axe is not made of ordinary metal; it appears to be a special alloy.

"Watch closely! It actually took me quite a bit of effort to finally master this weapon."

As Anna reached out and touched the hole at the end of the axe, something inside was immediately activated.

Crunch crunch!

Flesh and blood gushed out, and the dense red flesh piled up and shaped itself to form a straight, fleshy axe handle.

As Anna grips the axe handle, flesh itself adheres to it.

Not only that, but strands of flesh and blood emerged from the end of the axe handle and covered the entire axe head, making the once Death Qi iron block seem to come alive.

Anna also stood up, making a gesture as if she was about to chop something.

This kind of imposing presence really resembles a character from a certain B-movie, which made Luo Di quite happy, and he even fantasized about a movie about a female serial killer.

"How about it?"

"Good."

She was very happy to receive Luo Di's affirmation and instead of continuing to show it off, she put the items away.

After all, the prolonged exposure of such corner-related props can affect the environment, and even the neighbors next door.

Having finally completed the demonstration in front of her friends, Anna, looking satisfied, exclaimed, "Even if I had a handy Corner-transforming item, it would only be able to deal with some immature and not-so-special Pseudo-Human at most."

"Corner-transforming item" are ultimately just the most superficial use of pituitary glands, and the effects they can achieve are very limited.

Want to handle Anomaly Event on your own

To confront a mature, Pseudo-Human head-on,

To survive, or even explore deeply, in an environment like the "gap,"

Individuals must also make further advancements in their utilization of the pituitary gland.

"Going a step further?" Luo Di was clearly very interested in this topic.

Anna rested her chin on her hand. "Yes, how many people in the world can become a 'Connector' like you? Most people can't do it even if they spend their whole lives doing it."

To counter Imposters, to explore the completely unknown "depths of the Corner," we must adopt more radical and dangerous methods.

Tell me about it.

Luo Di could roughly guess that this so-called more radical and dangerous method was related to an alternative and in-depth use of the "Pituitary Gland".

It is also clear that this method is what led to the formation of the investigator group, and even human beings stronger than investigators.

To enable humanity to effectively handle Anomaly Event of all sizes, to live steadily and sustainably in this lost land, and to explore every nook and cranny.

This method is not mentioned in high school textbooks, and it was unknown to Luo Di, who was admitted to the hospital immediately after graduation.

Anna took out books from her backpack and carefully explained the relevant knowledge she had learned at the Investigation Bureau.

The use of the "pituitary gland" is generally divided into four types.

From simplest to most complex, they are: "Toolification," "Demon Seedling," "Segmented Brain Fluid Injection," and "Strange Foods."

This was the first time Luo Di had ever heard so many terms, so he immediately took out his notebook and started taking notes.

Seeing this, Anna also pretended to be a teacher and, fueled by alcohol, talked loudly.

"The prop-making process goes without saying; we've all already come into contact with and used it. By integrating the pituitary gland into the prop, with skillful use, one can even make the prop's properties adhere to our bodies, but the effect is limited."

The latter three will all directly involve changes in our bodies.

1. "Planting a seed" involves implanting the pituitary gland into subcutaneous tissues far from the head, such as the back of the hand, knee, or navel.

These sites embedded in the pituitary gland will gradually change, inheriting the characteristics of the pituitary gland itself, and exhibiting body tissues similar to those of Pseudo-Human.

The pituitary glands of some blood, flesh, and insects are well-suited for this purpose. Once you become proficient, you can control the on/off switch at will, and when not in use, it functions like a normal limb, switching back and forth at any time.

Since the modifications only target limbs other than the head, while risks exist, they are much lower than the latter two types.

2. "Segmented cerebrospinal fluid injection"

Actually, this term is quite accurate; it refers to crushing the pituitary gland, centrifuging it, and filtering out impurities.

The brain was then injected in five separate sessions. After each injection, the individual needed to undergo a long-term psychological evaluation and a comprehensive physical examination.

Once the individual successfully withstands five injections, the entire body will acquire the corresponding Pituitary Gland Trait, and the individual will not be affected by the corners of the body, and will retain its "growth potential".

This is also one of the core requirements for trainee investigators to become full-time employees.

Once I have the most suitable pituitary gland and have made all the necessary preparations, I will also use this method to improve myself.

According to data provided by the Investigation Bureau, if the pituitary gland is obtained through the individual's own actions, the chances of successful combination therapy will be greatly increased.

Various rejection reactions, aftereffects, and physical burdens will be greatly reduced.

Luo Di quickly raised a question:

"In other words, can an individual's entire body express a Pseudo-Human ' Phobia-concretization,' wield power from the shadows, and remain unaffected by whispers? And can this fear continue to grow through combat, training, and other methods?"

"Yes."

"I see."

Luo Di nodded. No wonder the official investigator who had appeared in the neighborhood before was able to easily subdue the Spider Woman, but at the same time, even greater doubts arose.

"This method seems perfect enough; the individual's entire body is strengthened while retaining its growth potential. Is there a better method?"

Anna nodded. "That's right, but the risks will also increase exponentially."

This is the last method of use.

"Strange food"

It is an extremely rare method that few people would use.

As the name suggests, it involves eating the pituitary gland raw without any external force or unnecessary processing, allowing the body's own digestive system to accept and absorb this substance that does not belong to humans.

As long as the body and mind can ultimately resist the direct effects of the pituitary gland, suppress the emergence of Mind Corner, and control the irreversible changes in the body.

Ultimately, it will achieve a natural, mutated form that is even more perfect than the one obtained through injection.

This forceful absorption of the intact pituitary gland also indicates that the individual possesses a certain resistance to corners. Even when exploring real corners in the future, they will be less likely to be affected by the unknown within.

It is said that humans who can achieve "different diets" will be valued by the country and may even have the opportunity to go to the most core and most powerful agency under the World Bureau.

The Exploration Bureau represents the first letter 'E'.

Luo Di didn't care about these government agencies; he was more concerned about the "exotic cuisine."

"Eat its flesh raw and endure the hardship? Can I do that?"

"Since you're already a 'Connector,' there's no need for that. I've heard that the value of a Connector isn't less than that of a 'Different Supplies.' As for whether the two can overlap, I'm not sure; you'll have to ask someone else."

By the way, Luo Di, what kind of world are you connecting to?

You'll find out then.

Anna didn't press for an answer, since the two of them would try to take on suitable Anomaly Event at the Investigation Bureau later.

It was getting late, and Anna got up and stretched. "I'm a little sleepy from drinking too much. I'm going to find a hotel nearby to sleep. I'll come find you first thing tomorrow morning."

Just as Anna reached out to open the door,

Luo Di glanced at the backpack beside him and suddenly made a decision.

"Would you like to stay here?"
