Steel steam and flame

His smile was just tired. He had never carefully felt some of the body information when he entered the scaly state in battle before. The only thing he cared about was the huge changes in data such as strength and speed. Although it simply receives information, it does very little work in identifying and analyzing it. But just like opening your eyes, even if you lose your focus, the picture you see will still appear in your mind. It is natural to look at the captured information. The brain consumes a lot of energy.

The food brought was originally planned to last three weeks, but on the sixth day there was not much left. Choose to take a breath at this time and give yourself some time to relax. After driving to the nearest town to buy a lot of food and water, and returning to the camping tent, Cassia only sat for ten minutes before lying on the soft cushion again and pressing down the syringe.

Once you have a direction and are well prepared, the data and situation records will become more and more referenceable later on. Only two days later, and it only took about twelve or thirteen minutes at that time, Cassia was able to lift the scaly state. After the number of injections of concentrated dragon blood increased in a day, the brain that had been constantly bombarded by the flow of information in the past few days, other The feeling of fatigue has become weaker than before.

Although he did not actively use the devouring method, Cassia believed that this body had the devouring instinct for dragons, or perfectly evolved materials, at this moment. I had not noticed this happening before, and after taking some time to think about it, Cassia judged that it was probably a good thing, at least for now.

He could not complete his growth in advance by devouring his own kind like pure dragons. Sucarius gave him the devouring method. At first, he was worried that the severe rejection reaction would damage himself to a certain extent, so he relied on this method to absorb the perfect evolutionary substance. , can repair the parts damaged in the rejection reaction.

The actual situation deviated from the expected direction late in the first stage. Even so, Cassia has never felt that she would actively swallow the perfectly evolved material. During the knight squire assessment, this did not happen even if I fell into the prepared dragon blood pool.

You must need your own will to give orders to your body. Pretty sure about this.

"Mostly it's a good thing, not a bad thing." Cassia sat up after recording the information of this experiment, waiting for the scaly state to end, "Because I am gradually transitioning from the second stage of the operation to the third stage. During this period, this My body is silently changing in a place I don’t know?”

Afterwards, this question was put in another place in Cassia's head. If it doesn’t change during this period, it will definitely change at other times, which is unavoidable. Self-comfort brought Cassia's attention back to the experiment.

Early this morning, it was the tenth day after climbing the mountain. The connection with the outside world was completely disconnected, and the communicator that was turned on never made any contact sound. Cassia was happy with this, and after taking enough rest, she started today's experimental process.

With each passing day, the number of trials that can be performed increases irregularly. On the tenth day, the time spent in the scaly state was less than five minutes, and the fatigue also completely disappeared. The images that flashed through my mind five days ago are now intermittent images that occasionally become coherent. The acceptance of the flood of information has increased many times. The information flow between a single organ and body tissue can be accepted at 80% or 90%, and the level of analysis clarity increases equally with this percentage.

"The remaining ten percent or so should be the key information of the change." In the two seconds after entering the scaly state, Cassia captured all the information about the changes in the heart. Continuing, it should be that the spirit that he first saw some effects was not strong enough - Cassia didn't know whether the capture of some images was the actual effect of the spirit.

Perception has not yet reached the intensity that can capture all the information. Once the reason is identified, more intensive practice will begin. Not feeling tired allowed Cassia to spend all of her day injecting blood—a cycle of waiting for the state to disappear.

On the eleventh day, the 2234th test, the amount of information captured was close to 95%. The picture presented is basically continuous, but there are always several fragments broken in key places. Combining all the information, you can imagine the general content of several disconnected fragments. In the 2232nd experiment, the information flow of other organs and body tissues was captured. Even if you are not familiar with it, you can still see many scenes in your head. A rough estimate can be said to have captured about 60% of the information. .

Whether this is evidence that his spirit has been improved remains to be proven by several subsequent experiments.

After Cassia finished recording, she took out another jar from the camping tent and put it aside. Three cans of concentrated dragon blood have been consumed in eleven days, and the speed will be even faster in the future. Regardless of the amount of material, the volume of the medium-duty truck holds enough cans to last him a long time.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Cassia picked up the syringe and then put it down, stood up and walked around several times. My thinking has never stopped since I started going up the mountain. On the eleventh day of testing and practice, the pile of ideas in my head is like a small mountain.

Many ideas have been thought of before, but were delayed due to other things, so they have been sealed in a corner of my mind. Or maybe there was some information that was written down, but the investigation was interrupted at a certain point in time, and was never brought up again. There are many, many, many. When I stop now, my memories are stirred and gradually surge, so much that things on the bottom of the water begin to gradually float up.

Cassia regarded this as a sign of becoming more energetic, and her body was like an engine full of energy that could not stop for a moment.

After going through these memories, only an hour has passed. Feeling scared, this sudden feeling surprised Cassia, but then she thought it was normal. The hour just now made him remember a lot of information, from books, what he heard from others, what he observed with his eyes, etc.

But this fear, or the source of fear, is oneself.

"I have made myself afraid." Cassia said to herself while standing in front of the camping tent, "What will happen to me if I enter the third stage? Unlike most surgeons in the empire, it is difficult to use their records to Measure yourself.”

The body began to actively swallow the perfectly evolved material. This incident in the past few days gave Cassia a bad premonition. He may have completely deviated from the trajectory Sucarius had envisioned for him in his dream. It doesn't matter whether it gets better or worse, and it doesn't matter. Does this count as breaking away from Sukarius's expected control over himself? Maybe it wasn't control from the beginning, it was just that Sukarius wanted to escape from the cage that imprisoned it, so he concealed some information.

What Cassia can feel at this moment is that she may not be like Noir, who can complete the assimilation and fusion of the surgery in the growth time of a dragon, nor will she be like an ordinary surgeon, following roughly the same trajectory and struggling to get to the first place. Five stages.

What makes me feel a little scared is my own uncertainty and unknown.

This body seems to have another consciousness silently lurking, Cassia metaphorically said. After thinking about it for a long time, in the evening, when Cassia calmed down again and continued the experiment, she concluded where the fear or fear came from - that she had ruthlessly raised herself as a real monster.
