The book-crossing case happened! The villains all want me to go to jail

The night was as dark as a bottomless dry well, as if it could ruthlessly swallow up all the hope and light in the world.

In the autopsy room, the smell of disinfectant and formalin was strong and pungent, making people sick. The smell was like an invisible devil's claw, tightly grasping people's throats. The cold light poured down from the top of the head, but it did not bring any warmth, but made the whole room look even more gloomy and terrifying. The four walls seemed to be frozen in eternal cold, emitting a creepy chill.

Xie Xuan'an arrived as scheduled with a nervous heart. Yi Shou had been waiting there like a ghost. His figure was looming in the dark corner, exuding a strange aura.

On several dissecting tables, various sharp knives and instruments were placed, flashing cold light, like the fangs of the devil, ready to devour people at any time.

A body half covered by white cloth lay quietly on the dissecting table in the center. The exposed part was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. The muscles were as loose as if the tendons and bones had been pulled out, and it emitted a faint smell of decay of death, as if silently telling the endless desolation and fear after the end of life.

"You're here." Yi Shou's voice suddenly sounded in the deathly silence, with a faint expectation. The voice seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, revealing a bone-chilling chill.

Xie Xuan took a deep breath and tried desperately to calm himself down, but the fear in his heart came like a surging tide. Although the serial skinning murderer had been captured, he still tried to drink a bowl of "calming soup" and pretended to be focused and expectant.

Yi Shou slowly approached Xie Xuan'an, with fanatical light flashing in his eyes. He gently held his hand and placed a frighteningly sharp scalpel steadily in his palm.

Xie Xuan'an could feel the scorching temperature coming from Yi Shou's palm. The heat was like burning charcoal, which made him shiver slightly, as if he was burned by fire.

Yi Shou's eyes instantly focused on Xie Xuan'an's unique knife-holding technique. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then began to give extremely professional and meticulous instructions: "Xie Xuan'an, listen carefully. Skinning is a job that is as delicate as a hairline, and there is no room for carelessness. Before cutting, you must concentrate on observing the skin texture and muscle distribution of the corpse to find the most accurate entry point. Starting from the head, carefully cut along the hairline, and be careful to avoid those intricate blood vessels and nerves. If you are not careful, the entire skinning process and effect will be greatly reduced. Control of strength is the key among the keys. Too much force will damage deep tissues, and too little force will not be able to cut smoothly. Just like this, advance slowly and steadily."

As he spoke, he took Xie Xuan'an's hand and slowly approached the terrifying body. Xie Xuan'an's heartbeat instantly became like the thunder of a war drum, and his breathing became rapid and disordered.

Ikari continued to talk nonstop, "When it comes to the neck, the structure here is as complicated as a tangled mess, with densely intertwined arteries and veins. You must follow the direction of the muscles, just like disassembling an extremely sophisticated instrument, peeling it off bit by bit. The skin on the chest is relatively thin and tender, so the knife must be cut more gently and slowly. The slightest negligence may cut the chest cavity and cause an unmanageable situation. The skinning of the arms and legs must be operated according to the unique shape of the bones and muscles, especially the joints, which require extremely delicate treatment. Every step must be focused, and there must not be even a moment of distraction."

As the instruction became more in-depth, Yi Shou's body got closer and closer to Xie Xuan'an. The two men were pressed tightly together, with Yi Shou's chest almost completely pressed against Xie Xuan'an's back. His arms were wrapped around him forcefully, with his hands tightly covering his knife-holding hands. It seemed as if he wanted to completely control Xie Xuan'an in his own hands.

On the way, Yi Shou lowered his voice and whispered in Xie Xuan'an's ear: "Does Shao Liechuan often hold your hand like this to give you instructions?"

"Yeah." Xie Xuan'an's body was as tense as a fully drawn bow, and his heart was full of defense.

Yi Shou noticed his nervousness and whispered, "You can relax in his arms, why not in mine?" As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around Xie Xuan'an's waist even more tightly, making Xie Xuan'an stick almost perfectly to him.

They started to work, and every movement was extremely cautious. Xie Xuan could clearly feel the subtle and creepy touch of the skin gradually separating from the underlying tissue. It was an indescribable complex feeling of tension and fear intertwined.

Next, they gradually advanced along various parts of the body. Every time they reached a key part, Yi Shou would raise his voice in a timely manner to remind Xie Xuan'an to pay attention to the key points and the huge risks that might exist.

During the whole process, Xie Xuan'an's hands were shaking constantly, but Yi Shou continued to give him strength and precise guidance.

Finally, when they completed all the skinning steps, the body was in a shocking and unbearable state, bloody and horrible.

In the dissection room, deathly silence enveloped everything. The dim light shone faintly, and the shadows around seemed like living creatures, twisting and waving in the corners.

The skinned corpse lay quietly on the cold dissection table, emitting a soul-stirring aura.

Yikari stared at the corpse and snorted coldly. The laughter echoed in the silent space, like the roar of an evil ghost, or a curse from hell.

Xie Xuanan looked at Yi Shouna's arms that were still tightly around him, and couldn't help but say, "Can you let me go?"

Yi Shou pretended not to hear anything. Instead, he leaned closer to Xie Xuan'an's ear and said in a chilling tone: "Let's also learn the more difficult heart and brain anatomy. Make the best use of them..." A cruel and twisted smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and there was a madness flashing in his eyes.

Xie Xuan'an's body froze, and he was filled with fear as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. However, there was no way to retreat at this moment, so he could only bite the bullet and follow.

Ikari pointed the scalpel at the chest of the corpse without hesitation, his eyes focused and fanatical, and said in a deep voice: "The heart is located in the lower left middle of the chest, surrounded by many important blood vessels and tissues. Be extremely careful when cutting. If you make a mistake, the consequences will be disastrous."

He took Xie Xuan'an's hand and cut the muscle layer accurately and powerfully. Xie Xuan'an could feel that Yi Shou's hand was as steady as a mountain, but his own hand was shaking like a leaf in the wind.

As Yikari operated, he said, "Be careful to avoid major arteries and veins. Even the slightest mistake could cause heavy bleeding and lead to an irreversible situation."

The bloody scene made Xie Xuan'an's face pale as paper, his stomach churning, and a strong feeling of nausea surged into his heart, but he endured it and tried to keep up with Yi Shou's pace.

Finally, the heart appeared intact before his eyes, and a trace of almost crazy satisfaction flashed in Ikari's eyes.

Before Xie Xuan'an could recover, Yi Shou said impatiently: "Next is the brain dissection. First, we have to deal with the skull. Use a special bone saw to gently saw along the top of the skull. Keep it steady to avoid unnecessary vibration and damage to the brain."

Ikari said as he operated, his movements were skilled and precise. "After sawing it open, carefully lift up the skull, and you can now see the brain wrapped in the meninges. But you have to be very careful in this step, if you make the slightest mistake, everything will be ruined."

The deathly silence seemed to swallow up all sounds.

The dim light cast eerie shadows in the corner. The skinned body, whose heart had been dissected, lay quietly on the cold dissecting table, emitting a chilling aura, as if telling the living the horror of death.

Ikari turned the scalpel to the corpse's head without hesitation, his eyes frighteningly focused, and said, "Brain dissection is an extremely delicate job. First of all, you need to have a clear understanding of the brain's precise position in the cranial cavity and the complex structures around it." His voice was low and full of unquestionable authority, which was irresistible.

Xie Xuan'an could feel that Yi Shou's hands were as steady as a rock, while his own hands were shaking slightly uncontrollably.

Ikari continued, "Pay attention to the depth of the cut and be sure not to injure the meninges. This step requires extreme caution. Any carelessness can cause irreparable damage to the brain." His eyes were always fixed on the corpse, never wandering for a moment, as if the whole world was left with only this corpse and the scalpel in his hand.

As the dissection progressed, the bloody scene became more and more unbearable. However, Yi Shou seemed to be completely immersed in this horrific process, becoming more and more excited. His hands did not stop moving at all, and he kept explaining various professional terms and key points. His voice echoed in the silent dissection room like the whisper of a devil.

Xie Xuan'an's face was as pale as a ghost, his stomach was churning again and again, and his heart was filled with fear and disgust. But he gritted his teeth, trying not to vomit, and tried to keep up with Yi Shou's operation. Every second seemed like an endless torture.

After a dissection process that Xie Xuan felt seemed to take a century, the brain was successfully removed intact.

Yi Shou seemed to sense Xie Xuan'an's extreme discomfort and the slight trembling of his body. He finally stopped and said, "It's completely normal to feel uncomfortable when experiencing this kind of scene for the first time. You will be fine after a few more times."

At this moment, Yi Shou first leaned gently against Xie Xuan'an's body, and then slowly pressed his own weight on him, one hand slowly caressing Xie Xuan'an's drooping arm, as if playing with a precious object, his movements were affectionate and ambiguous.

"If you feel unwell, I can help you with that. I have a lot of experience in psychological research."

Yi Shou slowly hugged him completely from behind, his hands tightly wrapped around Xie Xuan'an's waist, and his head rubbed against his shoulder affectionately.

Breathing in the complex scent on his body, that scent seemed to further ignite Ikari's inner enthusiasm.

The warm embrace immediately wrapped Xie Xuan'an tightly, and this overly intimate behavior instantly made him feel uncomfortable. Yi Shou's fingers occasionally rubbed Xie Xuan'an's waist in an ambiguous way.

"Just look for me." Yi Shou lowered his voice and whispered intimately in Xie Xuan'an's ear. The hot breath he exhaled immediately made Xie Xuan'an's ears numb.

If Xie Xuan'an was still conscious now, he would definitely want to beat Yi Shou up.

But Xie Xuan'an, who was hugged tightly, was exhausted at this moment, like a puppet without a soul, with no movement or emotion.

His eyes were empty, as if he was in the midst of a new mental breakdown.
