Chapter 125 Human Bones
Chapter 125 Human Bones
After acting as a therapist for her best friend, Lin Liuyi heard a system notification that another reader had given her a reward.
"Huh, a box? Is it the same reader from last time?" Lin Liuyi said as he opened the box.
As expected, the researchers went crazy for those amazing seashells we got last time after we handed them over.
Something that can clear the mind and improve memory is perfect for them to do research, right?
Therefore, those who didn't manage to get any would always ask Lin Liuyi if she could get some more, but she really couldn't agree to that, since these readers couldn't join the group.
I wonder what this reader tipped this time?
"Why is it only half a bone?" Lin Liuyi picked up the bone from the treasure chest. The bone was pitch black and looked rather eerie and ominous.
"Host, this is a donation from a new reader. What you received is half a bone from a human's lower leg," the system explained dutifully.
As soon as the system finished speaking, Lin Liuyi was so frightened that he threw the bone in his hand away.
"Human, human bones? Why didn't you say so earlier that you'd make a fortune?" Lin Liuyi was so frightened that he swallowed hard.
"Yes, don't worry, host. The system has already checked it, and the energy on this bone is harmless to humans."
"It's not a question of whether it's harmful or not, these are human bones! I'm going to make a fortune. Is this reader a serial killer?" Lin Liuyi felt a chill around him.
"No, host. This bone comes from the underworld, and its energy has been infused into it. It's normal for you to feel that it's cool."
The system's explanation made Lin Liuyi increasingly frightened. Wasn't the underworld just a place where ghosts lingered?
"The system reminds the host that the underworld is merely a matter of energy form in another world, not the ghost in the host's mind."
After listening to the system's words, Lin Liuyi calmed down a bit. Those ghosts were neutrinos, representing science, democracy, freedom, and prosperity.
Lin Liuyi couldn't help but silently repeat the words in his mind, but he still looked at the bones on the ground with lingering fear.
"What's the use of this bone? We can't just leave it there." Why would anyone give a bone as a reward?
Lin Liuyi was internally crying; she was terrified!
"The host can try absorbing its energy; perhaps there will be unexpected gains," the system suggested.
Lin Liu thought to himself, "This is too crazy! This is a ghost sending a ghost to a human!"
But she was also curious about what kind of power this bone contained that made the system encourage her to absorb it.
After hesitating for a long time, she slowly approached the bone and reached out to touch it.
The moment her fingers touched the bone, a chill ran down her arm and into her body, making her shiver.
However, she soon discovered that her vision had become unusually clear. She could not only see the fine dust particles in the room that she couldn't see normally, but she could even see the distribution of blood vessels in her own hand.
"Wow, X-ray vision!" Lin Liuyi exclaimed in surprise.
Lin Liuyi became interested. She looked at the plants in the room and could see their veins. She then tried to see through the wall to see what was outside, but her eyes got sore and she still couldn't.
"It doesn't seem to be that incredible after all. But I wonder if it can be used for gambling on stones like in novels."
Before she even started the experiment, she couldn't resist washing her hands thoroughly with soap and disinfectant. After all, even if it was miraculous, it was still human bone.
Lin Liu felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of this.
Then she called Zhou Zheng over, wanting him to put the bones away.
As soon as Zhou Zhenggang walked over, her eyes involuntarily pierced through his clothes and saw his abdominal muscles, then his blood vessels and internal organs. No, she couldn't look any further.
Lin Liuyi suddenly covered his eyes.
"Liu Yi, what's wrong?" Zhou Zheng quickly stepped forward to check her eyes, thinking that something had happened to Lin Liu Yi's eyes.
"Don't come any closer. First, get something and tidy up that bone. Don't pick it up with your hands!"
After Zhou Zheng finished tidying up, Lin Liuyi also managed to control his eyes.
"You mean, that bone is a human bone, and it was given to you by one of your ghost readers. After you touched it, you gained X-ray vision?"
Zhou Zheng's worldview was once again refreshed.
"You can see through things, so why were you looking at me just now..."
"I didn't see that. What I saw were your blood vessels and internal organs!" Lin Liuyi interrupted him quickly, her face flushed.
"Okay, then do you want to go get checked out!" Zhou Zheng pretended that Lin Liuyi hadn't seen anything.
Sure enough, after the examination, there was nothing unusual. Lin Liuyi suggested that she wanted to try gambling on stones.
Zhou Zheng and his team quickly brought over some jadeite rough stones, also wanting to see if Lin Liuyi's eyes could really see through things.
Lin Liuyi picked up a stone and strained to see what was inside, but no one noticed that her pupils emitted a faint green light.
"I see it, I see it. There's only a tiny bit of jade inside, and it's not very green."
Lin Liuyi was incredibly excited. It was actually true! Although he couldn't cultivate immortality, could this X-ray vision be considered a kind of superpower?
Then she picked up another stone, and another, and so on, until the fourth stone, when no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see it anymore.
"Get rich! Why can't I see it anymore? I could see it just now!" Lin Liu looked back at the stone he had just looked at, but he couldn't see it anymore either.
"It's possible that the host has run out of the energy they absorbed," the system analyzed.
"Oh, this is a one-time use item? I thought it was permanent." Lin Liuyi pouted and told the researchers about the discovery.
The researchers breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, even a permanent ability would be quite frightening, considering that this thing was derived from the bones of the dead.
Upon hearing what the researchers said, Lin Liuyi instantly felt no regret. Yes, this is just fine.
To be honest, researchers think it's a waste for Lin Liu to use his X-ray vision for gambling on stones; such a good skill should be used for medical treatment.
If doctors had X-ray vision, they could directly see the patient's internal ailments without needing to rely on various instruments for repeated examinations.
So they made this suggestion to Lin Liuyi in a roundabout way.
Lin Liu tilted his head and thought for a while, then realized it made a lot of sense. "But I don't know anything about medicine."
“No problem, we can arrange for a professional doctor to teach you or take you to see a doctor. You just need to use your X-ray vision.” The researcher said excitedly.
Lin Liuyi quickly refused, saying that if another bone came next time, he would definitely hand it over to the research institute so that they could select the people who needed it to conduct experiments.
There was no way around it; her courses were already piling up, and she really didn't need to add another subject. However, she didn't know that the medical subject would ultimately be added to her curriculum anyway.
