Chapter 75: Five Organs Thinking and the Superpower Lord at the Door

Novel, eerie...

Standing before the mirror, Fang Can looked down at the brain held in both his hands.

In his hands, the convolutions and folds interwoven with gray-white and pale pink resembled a complex map.

A faint moist sheen covered the surface, carrying the quiet yet mysterious scent belonging to the deepest recesses of life.

Feeling the weight of over a jin in his hands, which was almost as light as a feather to him, he nonetheless held it carefully, gazing at this artwork with the eyes of one inspecting a treasure.

Fang Can gently lifted it, gazing at his own brain matter, and a sense of awe for life arose.

'Is this my brain?' A trace of emotion flashed in Fang Can's eyes.

Even for those most indifferent to life, when they hold their own brain matter in their own hands, it is impossible to remain indifferent to everything, for what stands before you is your own brain.

He raised his head slightly, looking at himself in the mirror; at this moment, Fang Can's appearance in the mirror was exactly like that of an ordinary person.

When he removed the brain from the skull, he had very politely closed the skullcap along the way.

In his reflection, only a thin, unhealed red line appeared on his forehead, indicating that the head could be opened again with just a slight lift.

Anyone seeing the graceful, handsome young man gazing at himself in the mirror would find it utterly unimaginable that behind his beautiful, darting eyes lay an empty brain.

Behind Fang Can, Jiang Ningan, who had been silently watching the whole time, was completely stunned; anyone seeing a person remove their own brain from their head with their own hands would be unable to accept it.

Watching the young man constantly inspect himself in the mirror, occasionally reaching out to touch his own brain while emitting constant sighs, she felt some discomfort in her heart and rose to run toward the inner room.

Upon entering the room, she saw Liu Qingmeng shaking her head at her.

"Ningan, this is also a test for you; your state of mind is not yet up to standard. No wonder you have remained hovering at the Third Turn these years. In both state of mind and aptitude, you fall short of that young man by a degree."

"With your current state of mind, it will probably be difficult to cross the threshold of the Fourth Turn within a hundred years."

"In this regard, you should learn more from Fang Can."

Hearing Liu Qingmeng's declaration about someone else's child the moment she entered the door directly stunned Jiang Ningan.

"Yes, disciple humbly obeys Master's teachings." After clasping her hands, Jiang Ningan hurriedly walked out of the room.

Returning outside, she saw that Fang Can was already sitting cross-legged on the ground holding his own brain, gradually experiencing his own brain.

'This effect is truly not bad; with close contact, my cells' infection transmission speed has increased by more than five times.'

"At this efficiency, the entire body will turn into a thinking brain within a week."

While Fang Can was touching his own brain and inwardly sighing what a precious treasure it was, he raised his eyes and saw Jiang Ning approach.

"Does Senior Jiang have something to do? Did Senior Liu give an order?" Fang Can asked in confusion.

"My Master asked me to learn from you," Jiang Ningan said gloomily: "Your brain works well; lend it to me for a while."

"Uh..."

Fang Can felt his thoughts stall for a moment.

Senior Liu asked you to learn from me, so shouldn't you learn how I open my skull? Why do you want to borrow my precious treasure to play with? Don't you have a brain?

But considering the other party seemed unable to disassemble a brain like he could, Fang Can's words got stuck.

"Alright." While speaking, Fang Can handed the brain he was holding over and said: "Does Senior Jiang want to touch it?"

'Is this Fang Can's brain?'

Looking at the brain that had been out of the skull for a long time, Jiang Ningan cautiously extended her hand; feeling it, she found it soft, without the expected nauseating sensation.

"Please be careful when you handle it, Senior; do not damage the brain matter, as restoring it is very troublesome, and I still need to put it back later," Fang Can reminded.

"I naturally know this." As Jiang Ningan spoke, she brought her eyes close, looking at the lifelike brain in Fang Can's hands.

Thus, the two sat facing each other on the ground, gazing at the brain just as harmoniously as a couple looking at their newborn baby.

Inside the room, Liu Qingmeng watched this scene with satisfaction: 'Very good, keep it up.'

During the following two days, Fang Can spent his time comprehending the brain.

Having spent merely two days in contemplation, the entire torso part had been thoroughly dyed into brain composition.

Now he was no longer confined to the heart; he could have the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys all thinking together.

Of course, even so, there still existed a minimum unit of thought.

Just as a machine is an assembly composed of individual parts, and a single part cannot move on its own.

Cells themselves cannot think; only when countless cells gather together to form a brain can they possess the ability to think.

Only when the flesh and blood of Fang Can's torso exceeded 500 grams did it possess the ability to think; he could not yet make every single cell operate individually for the time being.

"Ding-dong!"

As a crisp doorbell sound rang out, Fang Can's eyebrows unconsciously furrowed.

The time was now four in the afternoon; at this time point previously, no one had come to disturb.

Turning back to look at the two seniors who had voluntarily returned to their rooms to hide, Fang Can shook his head.

Confirming his skull felt heavy and that he had not forgotten to put the brain back in, Fang Can walked toward the door with a normal expression.

Crack—

As the doorknob was turned, Mayor Li stood at the door rubbing his hands with a face full of smiles.

But this time, not only did he come; behind him stood a middle-aged man who was refined and gentle.

"Mayor Li, this gentleman is..." Fang Can looked at the man and asked curiously.

"Young Master Fang, this gentleman is also a Superpower Lord like you, hidden among the common people," Mayor Li introduced.

'Superpower Lord?'

"Yes, my name is Qu Hua; it is a pleasure to meet you." The man smiled and actively extended his hand to show goodwill.

"What is your ability?"

"Steel body." As Qu Hua spoke, he extended his right arm in front of Fang Can, transforming it into steel material.

This transformation, clearly different from martial arts, made Fang Can certain that he was indeed a Superpower Lord.

"But why haven't you left Z City?" Fang Can asked in confusion. "The Carnival is in a few days; the security will be unstable then. Isn't it very dangerous to stay in Z City?"

"Just like you," Qu Hua said awkwardly. "Forced by the Main God's helplessness, we are trapped in Z City now and can only leave after the Carnival ends."

"During this time, let's see if there's anything we can help with; after all, we can't just sit by and watch Z City's people suffer, can we?"

'This guy isn't lying. Is he a superpowered being hiding his identity just like me?'

Fang Can's intuition judged this, and his original distrust eased slightly: "Since we are both superpowered beings, let's find a place to talk."

After Fang Can issued the invitation, from a certain bungalow in the distance, using cameras, the other six Reincarnators cheered in unison:

"Great, he believed it, he finally believed it."
