The patient's thigh adhesion area seemed to be naturally integrated, with no traces of seams.

Jiang Xiao's eyes were fixed on the smooth skin, sensing that this change was not simply a physiological phenomenon but was being manipulated by some unknown force.

Doctors gathered round, their expressions complex, some shocked, some terrified, and some utterly perplexed.

They hadn't noticed the patient's legs changing; their attention had been focused on the spine and arms.

They had never encountered such a bizarre case in their medical careers, something that completely overturned their understanding of human physiological structure.

Jiang Xiao crouched down, carefully observing the patient's thigh adhesion area.

His fingers lightly slid across the smooth, seamless skin, trying to sense the eerie force.

His brows furrowed deeply, filled with confusion.

"This adhesion isn't a simple merging of muscle and skin. It's more like a cellular level reorganization."

Jiang Xiao whispered to himself, his voice tinged with a hint of shock.

"In other words, it wasn't forcibly fused by some external force; it evolved from inside out."

Niu Jieshi and Wang Dayong exchanged a glance, a subtle worry crept onto their faces.

They had seen plenty of strange things, but one that directly altered human structure was unprecedented.

"Look at his nails!" Shi Shi pointed at the patient's hand.

Only to see all his nails had fallen off.

Yet there was no bleeding underneath, nor was any red flesh exposed.

Underneath the nails was a black, gel-like liquid emitting a fishy smell.

The doctor's anxiety became evident in his voice as he watched Jiang Xiao, who still hadn't made any move, and broke the silence.

"Have you discovered anything? What should we do now?"

"This mutation goes far beyond our conventional understanding."

"So..." The doctor hesitated.

Jiang Xiao shrugged, indicating that unconventional symptoms require unconventional methods!

"Close the door, unleash Shi Shi!"

"Owuuu!"

ฅ(̳•ε•̳)ฅ

With a yell, Shi Shi's little beast ears popped out. She had long wanted to dissect—sorry, examine what was really going on inside this patient's body.

Shi Shi carefully edged closer to the sickbed, her small hands hovering over this deformed human.

Behind her, all the doctors held their breath, their gazes fixed on her every move.

In the air, a wicked and eerie power began emanating from Shi Shi, as if some dark energy not belonging to this world was gathering.

Shi Shi's gaze became profound; her eyes seemed to penetrate the patient's flesh, reaching deep into his blood and tissue.

As Shi Shi extended her little hand, strands of dark light shot from her fingertips, slithering into the patient's body like living snakes.

These dark rays meandered through the patient's body, seemingly searching for something or attempting some communication with the eerie force.

Though the patient had fallen into a coma, under Shi Shi's power his body began reacting intensely.

Large beads of cold sweat dripped from his forehead, his complexion turned ghostly pale and then rapidly shifted to a sickly bluish hue.

His lips quivered slightly, as if silently moaning, enduring untold agony.

All the doctors felt unease; they were uncertain of what Shi Shi was doing or what consequences this might have for the patient.

But they knew Shi Shi was no ordinary little girl; her power was well-known in Kaidan.

Shi Shi's brow furrowed; she seemed to feel the eerie force's resistance, but she did not give up.

Her power continuously confronted the force, trying to subdue it, attempting to make it yield.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, the tension in the patient room escalating further.

The dark rays expended within the patient's body, eventually seeming to find a point of equilibrium.

Suddenly, the patient convulsed violently a few times, then gradually calmed down.

His complexion started returning to normal, and those eerie patterns slowly disappeared.

Shi Shi slowly withdrew her hand, a trace of fatigue showing on her face, but relief was more evident.

She turned and smiled at Jiang Xiao and the others.

"Alright, the force inside him has been expelled by me. The patient should recover."

The doctors and others all stared in amazement at the miracle before them, unable to believe their eyes.

This patient, who they believed was incurable, was now showing signs of recovery.

"Are you sure?"

Wang Dayong frowned, stepped forward to feel the patient's hand carefully.

"What, did I do something wrong?"

Shi Shi puckered her lips in discontent.

Wang Dayong didn't engage in Shi Shi's rebuttal, instead gesturing to Niu Jieshi.

"Old Niu, come and look. Something's off, very off..."

"Okay, I'll check."

Seeing Wang Dayong's serious face, Niu Jieshi also grasped the patient's other hand and carefully sensed.

Soon, his brow furrowed tightly.

"How could it be?"

"What?"

Outsider Jiang Xiao couldn't help but inquire, craning his neck.

"Could it be Shi Shi did something wrong?"

"No." Niu Jieshi shook his head: "Shi Shi did everything right, I can sense Shi Shi's residual power inside the patient, but..."

"The problem lies with the patient's body. Remember when Shi Shi treated the herpes virus last time..."

Jiang Xiao nodded, vividly recalling the event.

"That's right, you should know, back then, after Shi Shi killed the herpes virus inside the patient, all herpes and necrotic tissue were peeled off, but look at this one here..."

No change!

Shi Shi's actions didn't restore the patient's body to normalcy.

Just as Niu Jieshi finished speaking, a very faint layer of eerie patterns appeared on the patient's skin, spreading like some inhuman totem silently.

The patterns flickered faintly, giving an ominous premonition.

"Did it relapse so quickly?"

Wang Dayong's voice was incredulous, his eyes fixed on the reappearing patterns, his expression gravely stern.

Shi Shi also noticed the change, her brow furrowed, her small hand extending again, fingertips glowing darkly once more.

But this time, her power couldn't as easily penetrate the patient's body as before.
