Kaidan Game Train: A Chapter 1987: Flipping the Table

Chapter 1987: Chapter 1987: Flipping the Table

The prop aid at Xu Huo’s spine eventually left a hole on one side of the table and disappeared along with the man in glasses, while the tal syringe remained on the table.

He pulled out the fine needle that pierced through the Space Ray Barrier into his palm, glanced at the blackened needle hole, picked up the tal syringe, and prepared to leave.

"No... sir, your hand turned black..." The waitress, frightened by the sudden change in his hand, quickly caught up and asked if he needed to go to the hospital.

"I just ate so color-changing candy, it’s nothing." Xu Huo politely declined.

The waitress looked at him half skeptically.

After leaving the breakfast shop, Xu Huo glanced in the direction of the school, but still didn’t continue to get involved with the Resistance Army mbers. At least he gained sothing from this trip.

Among the batch of psychotherapists who were captured and then released, there must be Resistance Army mbers, either Dove or the strategist. Considering that the "strategist" deliberately showed his face in front of the therapists at that ti and the Resistance Army needed soone to lead them, the one disguised as a psychotherapist was probably the strategist.

Regarding "White Blood," even if what he was given wasn’t the real thing, verifying it wouldn’t be hard. Just find any Eastern District Player.

However, "White Blood" isn’t a potion, nor is it necessarily a chip. The answer might be found on Zheng Yuci or at Argor Headquarters.

The toxin in Xu Huo’s palm disappated slowly after an hour, and after confirming his body was fine, he seized an opportunity to obtain the corpses of two Eastern District players. He wasn’t skilled at cranial surgery, so he took the bodies to an underground clinic.

The middle-aged man who was the owner, doctor, and nurse was tempted by the generous reward and opened up one of the heads.

"There are indeed surgical scars." The owner pointed to a spot on the bone where there was so growth, "These are marks left by a special recovery potion. It allows bones to recover faster and better after surgery, though improper usage might cause a bit of extra bone to grow, a minor issue."

He skillfully opened the skull and showed Xu Huo the cerebrum.

Xu Huo imdiately saw several blue-black fine lines radiating across the cerebral grooves and gyri, "What is this?"

This was beyond the doctor’s knowledge. He pondered for a mont, then took a sample and guessed, "It might be a side effect of so potion. Nowadays, players randomly consu potions."

"Check if there’s anything at the end of the lines." Xu Huo said directly.

The doctor put on his tools and focused for a while before extracting a small tal piece from inside. Although small, it still produced a distinctive tallic sound when dropped onto a tal tray.

"What kind of instrunt is this? I’ve never seen it before." After a simple cleaning, the doctor said, "This is much smaller than the usual implant instrunts."

Xu Huo’s gaze shifted between the chip and the blue-black substance on the tray. After a mont, he purchased a specialized identification device from Beneath the Dinsion to ascertain the ingredients of the blue-black substance.

"The substance closely resembles human brain tissue but note that it contains unknown toxins. Absolutely do not ingest it."

Upon hearing the device’s report, the doctor double-checked his gloves to ensure they weren’t damaged, then said, "So, people are actually being poisoned to death. This toxin is quite intriguing, coincidentally converging on the device."

"He wasn’t poisoned to death," Xu Huo lifted the corpse’s jacket, "His heart was pierced."

The doctor was puzzled, muttering, "What luck... dying early spares suffering..."

Xu Huo pointed at the other corpse, "Switch to this one."

The doctor complied, and the second person exhibited the sa condition: signs of poisoning in the brain, yet the spread of the toxin was limited, only converging at the chip.

Two corpses with the sa condition couldn’t be a coincidence; is the chip the source of the toxin?

The rumor of brain removal surgery might be unfounded, but using toxins to numb players’ emotions might be possible?

Certain ntal illnesses can already be treated with dication, and in a rapidly advancing technological ga world, controlling players in a similar yet more refined way is perhaps not far-fetched. However, employing chips to release toxins requires control over more than just toxin dosages, because toxins are not normally dispensed in a single dosage; they must be released in small quantities and multiple tis with precise timing...

Is Zheng Yuci researching this stuff?

Indeed, players who have undergone surgery are very efficient in combat, but also suffer significant, possibly fatal, side effects. No person in their right mind would choose this thod. Zheng Yuci was using Eastern District players as test subjects. Eastern District players have requirents for recording afflicted individuals, so he might intend to perfect this thod of enhancing power through continuous experintation—Doctor Zhang selects talents for cultivation, while he is more ambitious, even envisioning mass-producing geniuses through certain ans!

"Wishful thinking." Xu Huo sneered, collected the two corpses and chip, and left the underground clinic.

He then handed a chip over to Xin Rong via Beneath the Dinsion, requesting his help in understanding the chip’s structure and uncovering the grade of toxin stored within.

Coincidentally, Xin Rong was not currently in an instance, so he agreed readily, promising results within two days.

By this point, everything was very clear. If "White Blood" does not refer to the toxin on the chip, it should refer to an antitoxin or buffer potion developed in conjunction with the toxin.

After so contemplation, Xu Huo released both guesses about "White Blood," albeit with so minor edits.

Within half a day, the Outer Zone players, who are frequently active in virtual gas, all knew that the Eastern District players are strong because they use a potion called "White Blood." However, this potion is not as perfect as the S-type Evolutionary Agent, and long-term use of it makes players irritable and easily angered. The only solution is to take a sedative potion developed under Zheng Yuci’s leadership. Zheng Yuci ostensibly serves as Agor’s psychotherapist, yet he is also a player proficient in dicine and potion-making, which is why Argor sends so many Rank-A Players to protect him.

The seemingly true, yet false information ends here, without any need to explain that Zheng Yuci is stationed at Argor Headquarters, nor to say that’s why Argor uses Eastern District players as test subjects and eagerly seeks to capture Resistance mbers. Just knowing that "White Blood" is a good thing will motivate many to verify it by various ans.

Shortly after the news spread, the Resistance Army struck first, directly divulging the existence of chips found in the heads of Eastern District players.

They didn’t elaborate further regarding the chips, but combined with the information Xu Huo released, it’s easy for people to imagine this as another thod of training and controlling Eastern District players. As for the function of the chips, why not extract one and take a look?
