"Your hand?"
Duan Chen said in shock.
He simply couldn't believe what he was seeing, a scene that would drain all sanity.
Hill's face still held a somewhat dazed expression.
But at this moment, that dazed expression on her face appeared exceptionally bizarre to others.
Even the feeling of bizarreness had never impacted Duan Chen so profoundly.
Especially since Hill seemed to not find anything wrong with it at all.
She lowered her head to look at her two hands, paused for a moment, then raised one hand, scratched her chin, and smiled somewhat innocently.
"Oh dear, I got a bit emotional just now. Thinking about surgery, thinking about medicine, I just couldn't hold back."
After speaking, her eyes blinked gently.
Duan Chen saw that of the two hands that had extended, the one at the very bottom retracted back into her body.
She moved her body, revealing her signature innocent expression.
"Alright, then there won't be any problems."
Was it bizarre? Was it heresy?
No.
How could the Spirit Hunter Guild be corrupted?
And there wasn't any warning.
Hill, who was in front of him, showed no hostility towards him at all.
Duan Chen's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but ask, "Don't you think you owe me an explanation?"
"An explanation?"
Hill tilted her head, not quite understanding what Duan Chen was talking about.
It was at this moment that Lu Shuishui rushed in.
She gasped for breath, patting her chest, her entire expression a bit flustered.
As soon as she entered, she saw Hill and Duan Chen confronting each other.
She quickly shouted, "It's not what you think, Instructor!"
...
The aroma of tea wafted.
Smoke curled.
Duan Chen held a teacup in his hand, the warm tea in his palm, and he felt his emotions had improved significantly.
However, he still couldn't understand what was going on with Hill.
Was she truly human?
Lu Shuishui swallowed softly and explained somewhat helplessly, "It's my fault. I didn't explain beforehand from the start, but I thought it wouldn't be discovered."
She scratched her hair in annoyance.
It was her turn to be on duty today. While watching the monitor, she inadvertently saw the scene in the office and then saw Hill with two pairs of hands and Duan Chen.
She was absolutely aghast and scrambled over, afraid that her sister, who was completely defenseless, would be "chopped" by Duan Chen before she arrived.
Although not her biological sister, Lu Shuishui had always greatly admired Hill.
Duan Chen's expression was very serious.
He did not go easy on her just because Lu Shuishui was his instructor.
He asked, "What is the reason?"
Lu Shuishui took a breath and looked at Hill, who was standing by the window, completely out of her element.
She explained with some helplessness, "Cousin's body is only about four or five percent human. The rest, eighty to ninety percent, aren't heretics, but mechanical constructs."
"Mechanical constructs?" Duan Chen raised an eyebrow.
"Could a human whose body is eighty to ninety percent replaced by machinery still survive?"
Admiration and fanaticism surged in Lu Shuishui's eyes.
"So, Cousin isn't an ordinary person at all!"
"She sacrificed herself for the medical field. She is the most brilliant star in the medical field, the world's most outstanding surgical doctor!"
The world.
That was a rather grand honor.
It was hard to imagine that this dazed and innocent girl, who was currently counting clouds by the window, could be the world's most outstanding surgical doctor.
Bar none.
Lu Shuishui gestured excitedly, "She is absolutely the best doctor!"
Duan Chen looked at Hill, who had walked over at some unknown time, and didn't feel suspicion, but rather confusion. "A doctor is a doctor, but why would you transform yourself into this state..."
Hill tilted her head. "Of course, because it's more convenient."
Her voice was very ethereal, sounding like small bells ringing in an empty space.
She smiled slightly, and three arms stretched out behind her, looking like a spider.
Hill said calmly, "This way, I can perform the most perfect surgical operations by myself."
"However, I really don't know how to return your card." She blinked her eyes.
"After that card entered my body, I could clearly feel that my precision in operating surgical knives had improved."
"It increased from about ninety-eight point nine nine percent to ninety-nine percent."
She looked at Duan Chen with intense fervor. "Do you have any more cards like that?"
Duan Chen felt a bit horrified.
Can you imagine this scene?
A pale-skinned girl, with six arms spread behind her, her face flushed with fervent obsession, leaning close to your face and looking at you.
It was like a real-life spider demon mother.
He felt an aversion and retreated slightly.
Then he waved his hand. "No, each card has a different function. The card that suits you was that one and only."
All the arms behind Hill retracted. Hearing that there were no more, she didn't show too much regret. She simply nodded indifferently, as if she hadn't taken it to heart at all.
Undeniably, Hill's display today had truly shocked Duan Chen.
Lu Shuishui, standing beside them, even said with a hint of envy, "Instructor, my cousin actually revealed her other limbs in front of you. She definitely recognizes you. Don't act like you're suffering when you're clearly benefiting."
"Don't you understand the meaning behind this! From now on, you have the world's most outstanding surgical doctor!"
Indeed.
Duan Chen could understand that this was a very, very good thing.
However, he felt that his heart had developed PTSD towards Hill.
If he had a choice, he would rather be injured than receive treatment.
He subtly changed the subject. "Everything has a cause and effect, and every effect has a cause. Why did you expose yourself in front of me?"
Hill smiled.
"Is this what they mean by it's comfortable talking to intelligent people?"
"I want a live Sea Monster. Before this, no one was willing to give me one. I wanted to try and see if I could turn a live Sea Monster from a heretic into something like that vampire, a controlled anomaly that we can manage."
As she spoke, Duan Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the girl who had just uttered such audacious words.
