The logic that the Doctor explained in an afternoon had all collapsed; Gao Ming witnessed the Monster he had envisioned, not as a hallucination due to stress, but as a real segment of Flesh and Blood!
Gao Ming wanted to believe it was all fake, but he felt the excruciating pain of his wounds being torn apart.
That section of branch seemed to have consciousness and thought; it realized it had hurt Gao Ming and its movements became gentle. Red lines on its veins lit up like human blood, seemingly trying to communicate with Gao Ming.
Flesh calling out to flesh, Gao Ming's physical body responded before his chaotic consciousness, signaling they were united.
The beating heart sounded like the rallying beats of a drum; the Flesh and Blood branch gained permission and began to grow wildly, burrowing out from Gao Ming's organs, crawling over the hospital bed, then the walls and various medical instruments, and finally drilling into the ceiling and floor.
