Chapter 181: B-Rank Sister p2
The countless failures and seeing the corpses of countless virtual sisters had already made Lin Jiayao very irritable.
Now, coupled with the system’s words, it made Lin Jiayao’s thoughts even more chaotic.
But now was not the time to be sentimental and think about this and that, she had to solve the problem of her sister not being able to evolve.
This problem had to be solved.
Because all blood crystals were on the path of continuous evolution after being infected with blood crystals.
Even if they ate food contaminated with blood crystals, or drank water infected with blood crystals, blood crystals would continue to absorb blood crystals.
In this world where even the soil was contaminated with blood crystals, where could she find so many uncontaminated things?
Even if she persuaded her sister to give up on evolution now, but if the time was extended to one year or even ten years, evolution would become inevitable.
Evolution was the ultimate destination of blood crystals.
Moreover, Lin Jiayao couldn’t guarantee that her sister wouldn’t encounter battles in the future. After all, there was still the unknown realm of the seabed, and there were too many variables.
Lin Jiayao sat on the ground, and everything around her gradually disappeared.
More than ten “arenas”, countless sisters, and herself, corpses, vine cocoons, all disappeared with Lin Jiayao’s snap of her fingers.
Only a virtual sister was left, sitting naked in front of her, looking at her curiously.
Looking at her sister in front of her, Lin Jiayao began to think.
What should she do… was there any way to let her sister complete the evolution while maintaining her sanity?
Why did the system leave those prompts for her? Or was there something it really wanted to prompt that she hadn’t noticed yet?
Lin Jiayao carefully pondered the two sentences displayed by the system just now.
Blood crystals…
Genes…
Screening…
Sanity…
Perfect Form…
Perfect Form?
This term, which had the same name as one of A4’s abilities, caught Lin Jiayao’s attention.
Lin Jiayao had already inherited the Perfect Form evolution.
Although when she tried to use the evolution, because the blood crystal liquid stored in her body was not enough, it caused her body to tear and bleed, becoming the culprit that made Huayibai lose her mind.
But that failure also made Lin Jiayao understand the true meaning of Perfect Form.
That was targeted extreme evolution.
Extreme defense form, extreme speed form, extreme power form, extreme balance form…
Although it sounded like Tiga, the principle was indeed the same. (TN: Referring to Ultraman Tiga)
It could mobilize all of Lin Jiayao’s existing evolutions and transform Lin Jiayao’s form towards a certain extreme, allowing her to get closer to that extreme.
Then in that case…
Did Perfect Form have an extreme healing form?
Or rather, an extreme recovery form? A form specifically for healing?
After this idea emerged, Lin Jiayao couldn’t sit still anymore.
The scene around her rapidly changed with her consciousness. A huge amount of vines piled up and intertwined, forming a sealed dark space, and in this dark space, she slowly raised her hand and hugged the virtual sister in front of her…
……
In Kun City, in the enclosed space surrounded by vines not far from the villa area, Lin Xiwan hugged her legs and looked at her sister in front of her under the faint light, a little lost in thought.
The faint green fluorescence around her shone on her sister’s face, making her look like an elf living in the forest.
There was a kind of ethereal beauty.
At this time, her sister was sitting in the vine wheelchair, leaning against the backrest, her head slightly lowered and her eyes closed. Her long eyelashes trembled from time to time, and she didn’t know what she was dreaming about.
From where she was sitting, her line of sight happened to be at her sister’s exposed knees in the short skirt, and if she looked up a little, she could see the soft, white undergarment with a small bear pattern.
Cough… although it was a bit childish, this was indeed chosen by Lin Xiwan, and her sister didn’t dislike it anyway.
Her sister’s hands were tightly gripping the armrests, and from her slightly pale knuckles, it could be seen that her sister was very uneasy at the moment.
Lin Xiwan didn’t know what had happened, nor did she know what her sister saw. She could only lean forward a little and gently put her hand on the back of her sister’s hand.
As if feeling the warmth of her palm, her sister’s right hand, which was originally tightly gripping the armrest, slowly relaxed.
She could feel her sister’s slightly cold little hand slowly moving, gently interlocking her fingers with hers.
“Come on, Yao…” Knowing that her sister must have sensed her, Lin Xiwan whispered encouragement to her sister, then tightly clasped her sister’s palm, moved her butt, and rested her head on her sister’s knee.
Just quietly accompanying her sister like this, Lin Xiwan’s uneasy heart gradually calmed down.
Before, in the camp, Lin Xiwan had heard of many cases of evolution failure.
It was said to be evolution failure, but it was actually evolution success. Their abilities had been transformed, but they had lost their sanity.
But for humans, without sanity and self-awareness, it was evolution failure.
She was also a little worried that she wouldn’t be able to cross this hurdle from C-rank to B-rank.
But compared to worrying about herself, she didn’t want to see her sister face the world’s problems alone.
After an unknown amount of time, Lin Xiwan felt her sister’s little hand, which had been warmed by her, move.
Lin Xiwan looked up and saw her sister open her eyes, looking at her with a gentle gaze that she hadn’t shown for a long time.
Although less than two hours had passed, Lin Jiayao felt like her sister had gone through several days. She actually saw a feeling of “long-lost reunion” in her sister’s expression.
Suddenly, her sister’s other hand reached out and lunged towards Lin Xiwan.
The originally oval vine cocoon instantly collapsed under her sister’s lunge. Caught off guard, Lin Xiwan also fell to the ground along with the collapsing vine cocoon.
But before she fell, she quickly raised her hand and caught her sister, letting her fall into her arms.
“Hey, hey, hey, what’s wrong, Yao?” Lin Xiwan gently patted her sister’s back, a little surprised that her usually mature sister would suddenly make such a move.
Although she didn’t know what had happened, she still comforted her softly, hoping that her embrace could make her sister feel better.
In fact, Lin Jiayao, who buried her face in her sister’s chest, did feel better because of this embrace.
In the training ground, Lin Jiayao didn’t know how many times she had seen the tragic deaths of the “virtual sister”.
The most important thing was that those “virtual sisters” were 1:1 perfect replicas of the real Lin Xiwan, and even their actions were in line with Lin Xiwan’s personality traits.
So when they “died”, every convulsion and tremor seemed incredibly real.
It was as if she was really watching her sister, who she had been with day and night, die.
In that environment of constant failure, even knowing it was fake, Lin Jiayao felt unprecedented mental pressure.
But fortunately, in the last attempt, she succeeded.
And she used that method to simulate thousands of times in the training ground, without a single failure.
That evolution method was recognized by the blood crystals, Lin Xiwan’s best form for promotion to B-rank, and it completely preserved her sanity and memory.
But as for what her sister’s ability would be after evolution, this kind of question involving unseen blood crystal abilities, the simulation would report an error, prompting Lin Jiayao to see it first before simulating.
But it didn’t matter what the abilities were, as long as the evolution was successful and stable.
The new method… was a combination of Perfect Form and the inspiration from Huayibai.
“Sister.” After Lin Jiayao’s mood returned to calm, she supported her body with both hands on the ground, looked at her sister who was gently stroking her waist, and asked, “Are you ready?”
“I’m ready.”
Although their current posture was a bit awkward, Lin Xiwan knew very well what her sister was asking.
Hearing her sister’s answer, Lin Jiayao slowly controlled the vines and the spreading roots below to remove her top.
Countless roots and vines pierced into the skin of her back, as if they were connected to her spine and became a part of her, providing her with a huge amount of energy.
Even Lin Jiayao’s eyes were emitting a faint green fluorescence under the influence of this sap energy.
The vines and roots connected to Lin Jiayao’s back, slowly lifting her up and suspending her more than ten centimeters above her sister. The two looked at each other face to face.
“Open your mouth, Sister.” Lin Jiayao said the first step to her sister.
Lin Xiwan didn’t hesitate much and opened her mouth directly.
Then, Lin Xiwan saw her sister extend her right hand, cut her palm, and the blood dripped from the air into her mouth.
Huh?
As the warm blood entered her mouth, Lin Xiwan immediately felt numbness from the base of her tongue to her throat, then her internal organs, until her whole body couldn’t move, and even her consciousness was difficult to maintain.
And the blood was still dripping into her mouth, each drop doubling her mental paralysis, almost reaching the critical point of directly fainting.
“Ya…” Lin Xiwan wanted to call out her sister’s name, but she found that her mouth couldn’t move.
Soon, Lin Xiwan, with a confused look on her face, directly fell asleep, entering a state similar to a blackout.
Of course, this was not a necessary procedure for evolution, and it didn’t have any effect on the process or result. This was a step that Lin Jiayao actively added after many attempts in the training ground.
Her own blood could paralyze her sister’s consciousness, and the purpose was to prevent her from seeing what would happen next.
It would definitely leave a psychological shadow.
After feeling that her connection to the vascular network was the same as in the training ground, Lin Jiayao took a deep breath.
She quickly exchanged thirty Blood Crystals for Blood Crystal Serum, and a total of thirty-nine bags of Blood Crystal Serum were piled up beside her sister.
“Perfect Form.”
Using the endless energy from the tree sap, Lin Jiayao could successfully activate the extremely energy-consuming Perfect Form.
And this brand new form of Perfect Form was the most important part of this evolution.
“Rip—”
With the activation of Perfect Form, following Lin Jiayao’s will, her face began to slowly twist clockwise, her facial features, face, and bones shattering under this squeeze.
“Pop—”
With a sticky sound, Lin Jiayao’s twisted face suddenly opened, blooming into a huge flesh flower with blood and sharp teeth.
There was a black hole in the center of the flesh flower, and from the hole, several blood-red mycelia like flower buds could be seen twisting.
And Lin Jiayao’s body was also undergoing this huge change.
Suspended by the roots and vines, her arms slowly tightened and adhered to her body, forming a whole.
Her chest split open directly from the middle, just like when Huayibai stored books.
This was the same ability.
But unlike Huayibai, Lin Jiayao’s body had many other evolutions to support her to complete this transformation.
The protruding ribs quickly extended, slowly opening like sharp teeth, and the torn skin on her edges began to gradually transform into wriggling mycelium tentacles for transmitting energy.
This was a form specifically for recovery, dominated by the Blood Orb Mycelium’s ability, mixed with a series of evolutions such as Mutated Self-Healing.
Completely abandoning any movement ability, even abandoning “useless” abilities such as vision and hearing, purely for healing, it was the ultimate form of healing.
Except for the lower body, which didn’t change, there was no trace of human form at all.
This was why Lin Jiayao asked her sister to drink her blood first.
Because she didn’t want her sister to see her disgusting form. The offensive form was still somewhat aesthetically pleasing with its monstrous beauty, but her current appearance was purely sanity-dropping.
Under Lin Jiayao’s control, the vines and branches supported her body and slowly descended. The mycelium tentacles extending from the cracks on the edge of her body waved continuously, inserting themselves into the dozens of “blood bags”.
“Click—”
After her slowly descending body touched her sister, Lin Jiayao’s ribs slowly closed around her sister’s waist and chest.
Like rows of locks, her body was fixed on her sister’s body, tightly clasped together.
And the petal-like face, which looked like a piece of meat with thorns, also slowly descended, opening to its fullest and covering her sister’s face.
The “petals” closed, tightly locking her face with her sister’s with the thorns, completing the full “possession”.
And at this time, her sister’s eyes were tightly closed, her consciousness paralyzed, her pink lips slightly parted, completely unaware of the terrifying existence lying on her body.
Anyone who opened their eyes now would probably faint from fright.
Except for Huayibai.
And after the basic bone nail fixation was done, the “flower bud” formed by the Blood Orb Mycelium in the center of the “petal” head spit out, and drilled into Lin Xiwan’s slightly opened mouth…
Until it pierced through her lungs and established a connection throughout her body, including her heart.
Ubiquitous.
If you ignored the thorns and flesh on Lin Jiayao’s body and considered them as planks and steel.
Then her current image was a bit like a torture device similar to the “Iron Maiden”.
They were extremely similar.
“Gulp—”
The mycelium tentacles that pierced into the Blood Crystal Serum bags began to slowly extract the Blood Crystal Serum inside, circulating it in Lin Jiayao’s body, mixing it with her body fluids and blood, and then injecting it into Lin Xiwan’s body through the “flower bud”.
It was injected all at once.
“Thump—”
“Thump—”
Lin Jiayao’s body expanded and pulsed like a beating heart. Every time, it would empty all the bags around her, and after circulating and injecting them, it would suck them out again and re-inject them into the bags.
Like a huge heart lying on Lin Xiwan’s body.
In fact, it could indeed be understood this way.
Now Lin Jiayao was like a huge external heart. If her sister didn’t mind, as long as she opened two “holes” for observation on the petals, her sister would have the strongest external heart.
Although it was a bit terrifying and horrifying, the improvement in strength was absolute.
If Lin Jiayao also chose Mask’s [Severed Form], then in this external heart state, her sister could even pull out Lin Jiayao’s spine and use it as a weapon.
Just thinking about it… was horrifying.
Under the ultimate auxiliary form of “Perfect Form” and the huge energy reserves of the vascular network, Lin Xiwan’s body was rapidly adapting to the increasing amount of blood crystals, and her aura was rising with every beat of the “heart”.
“Thump—”
After almost a whole night of repeated pulsations, finally, with a strong and powerful beat of Lin Xiwan’s own heart.
The upgrade was over.
Under this almost cleansing enhancement, Lin Xiwan’s mind quickly recovered, almost completely offsetting the effects of Lin Jiayao’s blood.
In a daze, she slowly opened her eyes.
