Spirit Plant

Late at night, the night wind blew through the branches of the maple tree outside the window, the leaves, like palms, rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound. The sky was cloudless, and the bright moonlight shone upon the earth, making the shadows appear even more layered.

Lin Shu slowly climbed up from the hospital bed. The moment she stepped off the bed, she fell directly to the ground!

"Mmmph~"

Lin Shu groaned in pain. She felt once again how uncoordinated her body was with herself, as if she wasn't in control of it. Lifting her legs and extending her arms felt completely disjointed.

She slowly supported herself against the nearby table and wall to stand up. Only when she was fully upright did she realize that her body was truly completely different from before.

"Is this me? How is this possible? How did I get so tall?"

With her eye level raised by more than ten centimeters, Lin Shu felt as if she were walking on stilts. Even when she wore high heels before, she never had this feeling, and now, she was simply standing flat-footed.

Her original height was around 1.6 meters, but now, her height should exceed 1.8 meters. This height was even taller than some ordinary foreign models.

She leaned against the wall and stumbled into the bathroom of the single room. She finally saw herself in the mirror, wearing a loose white hospital gown, her entire body wrapped in bandages.

During the day, she didn't dare to ask or speak. In front of her colleagues and superiors, she tried her best to show a positive side, as if she didn't care about her injuries at all, making everyone feel that she was doing well.

But for a girl, seeing herself covered in bandages from head to toe, and recalling the scene of being directly hit by the explosion before losing consciousness, she could probably guess that her appearance was likely ruined.

No one could be indifferent to their appearance, let alone a girl in her early twenties.

She cautiously stood in front of the bathroom mirror, slowly raising her eyes to look at herself in the mirror. The moonlight shone in from the window, casting a shadow on Lin Shu. Looking at the figure wrapped up like a zombie, her eyes were filled with despair.

"What have I become? A monster?"

She turned around and slowly took off her hospital gown, gently unwrapping the bandages wrapped around her entire body. She stood naked in the bathroom, then hugged her upper body and slowly turned back around.

Until she stood still, her originally tightly closed eyes slowly opened, and she looked at herself in the mirror again.

"Ah!"

The sound was not of panic or fear, but of astonishment, shock, disbelief, and ecstasy. Lin Shu looked at the figure in the mirror in disbelief. The bright moonlight illuminated her outline, projecting the beautiful figure and graceful posture in the mirror.

She saw a tall girl with not a single blemish on her entire body, holding her chest and standing in front of the mirror. Her skin was fair and delicate, like an egg just peeled from its shell. Her features were exquisite and elegant, and a head of thick and smooth black beautiful long hair draped down on both sides.

Her long legs were tightly closed together, and the smooth lines extended upwards from her toes, gliding over her beautiful hips, climbing up to her breasts, and finally reaching her elegant neck like a swan's.

Her features were as exquisite as if they had been meticulously sculpted, only vaguely showing a trace of the original Lin Shu's shadow.

If the original Lin Shu could only be considered a beauty, at this moment, she looked like a fairy, elf, or spirit from legends. Her entire body exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura, like a meticulously crafted porcelain doll, so delicate and perfect that it seemed as if it would break with a touch.

"This is?"

"Me?"

That perfect face in the mirror, with its rosy, sexy lips parted, couldn't help but cup her own face. The hands that were originally tightly holding her chest suddenly let go, causing a tremor.

The next day, when the male and female colleagues who came to visit entered the ward and saw Lin Shu, they were so shocked that they dropped their慰問品 (consolation gifts) on the ground.

Everyone looked at Lin Shu lying on the hospital bed in disbelief. Some people walked in and looked for a long time, thinking they had entered the wrong room.

Even Lin Shu's sister, Lin Yu, didn't recognize her for a long time the moment she walked into the ward. She couldn't believe that this person was actually her sister.

"Sis! Didn't you get hurt? I was so worried! I kept wanting to visit, but they wouldn't let me in. Turns out, you came here for plastic surgery!" Lin Yu angrily threw down the food she had brought and glared fiercely at her sister, Lin Shu.

Lin Yu was angry for a long time, but finally couldn't help but touch Lin Shu's face. "This surgery is too successful, the effect is too good! How much did it cost? Can I do it too?"

"..."

Meanwhile, in the Biosafety Testing Research Institute jointly established by Yu Bei 162 Army Hospital and Yu Bei Fourth Military Medical University, a greenish, jade-like pill was being continuously tested and scanned using various cutting-edge instruments.

Everyone was bewildered, using various methods to observe and test the experimental target. Finally, they determined that it was just an ordinary natural resin.

"Should we separate a small portion and experiment on animals, then collect the experimental data!"

"I think that's feasible!"

However, they immediately discovered that after cutting the pill, the entire thing instantly evaporated and disappeared, as if it had never existed.

All the researchers in the laboratory were stunned for a moment.

And at this moment, the courtyard in front of Fang Xiu's house was filled with a kind of brown vine plant. They not only occupied Fang Xiu's courtyard but also continuously spread outwards.

Dense brown slender vines covered the courtyard wall and also climbed along Fang Xiu's house all the way to the roof. Fang Xiu's house was surrounded on all sides, and it was also covered with special green leaves that looked like thick little hands.

The house was lush and green, with green leaves and vines decorating the entire world. At this moment, Fang Xiu's originally Western-style house was filled with a fairytale house feel, like a green castle from an ancient fairytale.

"Come back!"

However, with a command from Fang Xiu, all the vines moved quickly as if they were living animals. Thousands of vines, like thousands of tentacles, instantly retracted from the surroundings.

The vines detached from the courtyard wall and retracted from the roof of the building, constantly wriggling and rotating, gathering into a huge green ball in front of Fang Xiu.

This was the result of Fang Xiu's recent busy work. He finally followed the cultivation method of demonized plants, drew inspiration from the structure of the Necro Tree, and attempted to create the first Spirit Plant.
