Inside, the atmosphere was starkly contrasted with the outside—a dead silence.
Jiang Xiao and the others walked in, only to see the previous patient lying on the bed.
But his body had undergone new changes—the surface of his skin had a slight metallic luster, and it seemed to be slowly wriggling.

And this metallic "luster" wasn't a color but... scales?
"What's going on here?"
Jiang Xiao turned to the doctor, a hint of imperceptible worry in his voice.
The doctor shook his head, looking helpless.
