Chapter 704: Revised: Chapter 14 2D Life and Cyber Cursed Spirits_2

"You shouldn’t have let me touch your shadow."

Mike suddenly looked down and found that his shadow had been unknowingly infected by Xia Li’s curse marks, turning into a two-dimensional silver pattern!

"What—?!"

Xia Li’s body completely two-dimensionalized and directly invaded Mike’s body along the shadow!

"Ahhh—!" Mike screamed, with countless silver lines appearing on the surface of his skin, as if some force was forcibly flattening him.

George’s dark shadow let out a piercing scream, trying to rescue him, but it was already too late—

Xia Li’s curse marks fully erupted, and Mike’s flesh flattened like a torn piece of paper, eventually turning into a silver two-dimensional image, drifting to the ground.

George’s golden pupils contracted sharply: "Mike...?!"

Xia Li’s figure emerged from the image, still with a penetrating wound on his chest, but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile: "Now, it’s just you."

Having lost Mike’s "human anchor point," George’s cursed spirit form began to spin out of control. His dark shadow twisted violently, his body constantly switching between three-dimensional and four-dimensional states, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"No... Impossible..." George’s voice became fragmented, "We... were perfect..."

Xia Li struggled to stand up, the curse mark in his palm lighting up again: "Perfect? No, you were just defective products reliant on each other. From a scientific perspective, there’s always something better; perfection is impossible. For a scientific researcher, so-called perfection is despair."

He raised his hand, the silver light transforming into countless fine threads, wrapping around George’s dark shadow—

"Now, let me send you back to the Abyss."

The silver threads tightened, and George’s scream abruptly stopped.

The shadow was forcibly compressed into a pitch-black sphere, which eventually shattered with a "pop," disintegrating into countless black ashes that dispersed into the mist.

Xia Li knelt down, his chest wound still bleeding. He trembled as he picked up the silver image that Mike had become and gently pinched it—

The image shattered, turning into light particles that dissipated.

He painfully stood up, looking deep into Suyuan Mountain.

"Dai Lin... Miss Ying... where are you..."

Xia Li’s breath condensed into white frost in the cold mountain fog, and he lowered his gaze to the slowly dimming silver curse mark in his palm.

The fragments of Mike Melroll’s two-dimensional image were drifting away between his fingers, turning into ashes like burned comic manuscripts.

The black ashes of George Melroll’s collapse outlined a twisted humanoid figure on the damp ground.

"It’s over..." Xia Li pressed his chest wound, which had been corroded by the Abyssal Curse, and blood continued to seep through his fingers.

The ashes on the ground suddenly trembled.

Xia Li’s dimensional perception alerted him within a thousandth of a second, and he instinctively leaped backward. The ground where he had stood exploded into a two-meter-diameter pit, from which five bone fingers entwined in black mist extended. As the hand grasped the edge of the pit, the entire fog of Suyuan Mountain began to rotate clockwise.

"Cognitive filter loaded." Mike’s voice came from all directions, "Curse reboot complete."

Xia Li watched in shock as the image fragments that had scattered began to flow back and reassemble into a three-dimensional phantom above the pit.

Even more terrifying was that the ash of George’s disintegration was weaving into black threads in the air, connecting into an eerie symbiotic network with Mike’s gradually materializing body.

"Three-dimensional beings always like to divide states into life and death because in three-dimensional space, life and death can never be converted into each other." Mike pushed up his nonexistent glasses with his reconstituted index finger, a habitual gesture that now seemed horrifying, "But the doctors of the Abyssal Department have long been unbound by such low-level concepts."

George’s body, which had climbed out of the pit, was covered in thick mosaics, like a holographic image with poor signal. When he fully stood, Xia Li saw clearly the twins’ new form—

Mike maintained his human shape, but black neural cords extended from his temples, connecting to George’s semi-transparent body; George had completely turned into pixels, with their symbiotic cursed object, a pixelated heart, suspended in his chest.

"The cognitive filter is the latest research achievement of the Department of Cursed Objects." Mike used a scalpel to cut open his left arm, and instead of blood, flowing out was ever-changing digital code, "Uploading self-consciousness to the backup servers in the hospital, the body is just a replaceable peripheral device. Our cursed object originally existed in the network, formed by an abyssal invasion through spreading death videos and contaminating more viewers to become Abyssal Invasion patients. Later, this cyber ghost had its heart implanted into our bodies through the technology of the Department of Cursed Objects. As a cyber ghost existing through the network, its heart was naturally not just one but could be infinitely backed up, so it was implanted into us brothers. Compared to the constant materiality of three-dimensional space, the cyberspace where data can be infinitely backed up is precisely high-dimensional space!"

George’s phantom suddenly appeared behind Xia Li, pixelated hand piercing through his shoulder. The indescribable pain made Xia Li stagger into a cedar filled with eye tumors.

"The first round was just a warm-up. We are the most powerful Paranormal Doctors in 666 Hospital besides the Faust Family members." Mike’s body remained in its original position, but his voice came from all directions, "Now let me show you the real medical procedures of the Abyssal Department."

The surroundings suddenly distorted into the structure of a giant biological CT scanner, and George’s non-existent pixel body split into numerous projections in the scanning ring. Each projection held different surgical instruments, the tools hovering between matter and energy making Xia Li feel horrified.
