The light blue secondary serum was slowly injected into Kurohane's body. The moment it touched his blood, it transformed into pure energy. His heart thumped only twice, and the energy immediately surged throughout Kurohane's entire being, beginning to consume his original energy and modify every single cell.
However, this energy wasn't as gentle as the physical enhancement granted by the system. Instead, it felt like a barbaric quack doctor brutally tearing apart Kurohane's muscles, blood vessels, and nerves, then gluing them back together with strong adhesive. Under the influence of his Super Vision, Kurohane could clearly witness every brutal change occurring within his body. This savage transformation process surely brought unimaginable suffering to an ordinary person!
"In ancient times, there was Lord Guan scraping bone to cure poison, today, there is I, Kurohane, seeking death by injection!" Kurohane yelled in frustration, gritting his teeth. "If I had known this body modification process was so painful, I wouldn't have wanted this damn thing!"
Just as the energy stored in Kurohane's body, even the last bit of fat he possessed, had been completely consumed by the serum, the electric chair he was sitting on suddenly sprang to life! Unidentified voltage convection flowed from various parts of his body, and visible electrical arcs appeared on his skin's surface. Then, this suddenly appearing electrical energy was savagely seized by the serum, which had already transformed into pure energy, and became yet another quack doctor, continuing the brutal modification of Kurohane's body!
Kurohane's teeth clenched tightly due to the current, and saliva flowed uncontrollably from the corners of his mouth. He thought desperately, I can't take this anymore, I have to find a way to lighten this burden! Otherwise, after the serum enhancement is complete, I might drool every time I talk from now on!
"System, use character experience card: Chen Jiaju!"
An invisible light flashed before Kurohane's eyes, and Chen Jiaju's personal attributes were superimposed onto Kurohane's body. He was now equivalent to two people enduring the electric chair's shock simultaneously. Instantly, the pain became much lighter. However, the serum's modification of his body didn't cease because of this, instead, it became even more reckless. The host himself no longer cared about the pain, so just finish the job!
The most terrifying thing was that not only the serum thought this way, but even the electric chair beneath him thought the same! Stronger electric currents surged, and even the lighting in the operating room seemed affected, flickering erratically. It felt as if his brain was directly burning, then continuously repairing itself under the influence of the serum. This feeling was truly... invigorating!
Using Telepathy, Kurohane couldn't bear it any longer and quickly diverted his thoughts. He immediately entered Crossbones' mind for refuge and inadvertently glimpsed his little secrets!
New Skills and Revelations
[Character Experience Card: Chen Jiaju duration ends!]
[Gained new skill.]
[Action Master: Parkour, car stunts, tumbling, you just go forward and embrace death, the ambulance drives really fast!]
"This is good!" Kurohane exclaimed in surprise and awe.
Although the skill description was as unreliable as before, Kurohane was used to it. This skill was a combination skill, including at least three action effects: parkour, car stunts, and tumbling. Our Hua Xia babies have their own superheroes. As a living legend, Uncle Long relies on seemingly impossible stunts in movies. There are many famous scenes in Police Story alone, such as the mall jump, flying over the city while holding onto a rope ladder under a helicopter, the rooftop fight on a train... Even though this skill is likely also a 'Castration' version, it's still better than nothing!
The electric current still coursed through his body. Kurohane saw himself sitting in the electric chair through Crossbones' eyes. This feeling was incredibly strange, shifting from a first-person game to a second-person one. There was a peculiar sense of detachment from Reality, and also a feeling of enlightenment about this world! It was just that this feeling was difficult to describe. Perhaps only the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj could understand me?
Thirty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Kurohane only had time to see Crossbones' affairs from last month. He could feel the electrical arcs in the electric chair disappearing, which meant the modification process had to be over. Kurohane's consciousness returned to his body, and the feeling of pain transformed into overwhelming exhaustion. All he wanted now was a shower, then to lie in bed and sleep soundly!
The restraints on the electric chair automatically released, and Kurohane struggled to stand from the chair. Feeling the explosive power in his body, and the handprints he had unconsciously pressed into the chair's armrests, Kurohane smiled with satisfaction, then tried clenching his fists. Even without a character card now, he wouldn't be afraid to face the Winter Soldier head-on anymore.
The operating room door swung open from outside, and Crossbones entered, clapping his hands!
"Kurohane, you are the most determined person I have ever met," Crossbones said, his eyes filled with admiration. "You not only endured the pain of the secondary serum modification, but you also withstood the impact of high-voltage current! Hydra has conducted countless internal experiments, and not a single member has been able to maintain their consciousness. Most Hydra members can't even last three minutes, but you lasted a full thirty minutes!"
"Nothing to be proud of," Kurohane replied, waving his hand dismissively, "after all, the serum I used is only a secondary product. Captain Steve Rogers used the full version of the serum back then, he's the one most worthy of admiration!" Kurohane made no secret of his admiration for Captain America, even though Captain America hadn't been rescued yet. Perhaps Steve in this Marvel World is secretly Captain Hydra!
"It's a pity the old antique was lost decades ago," Crossbones chimed in, a slight hint of regret in his voice. "Otherwise, we wouldn't need to inject the secondary serum obtained from the Winter Soldier. Besides, the original version of this super serum cannot be used by everyone. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a big green guy who can smash tanks with his bare hands and is immune to swords and guns!"
Crossbones handed Kurohane his clothes while connecting to a radio in his ear. Kurohane's hearing was also excellent now, and he could hear Crossbones' radio very clearly.
"...The Abomination's whereabouts have been found on Broadway Street, and he is frantically destroying vehicles on the street. All S.H.I.E.L.D. special forces must immediately provide support and minimize casualties!"
Kurohane's eyes gleamed with anticipation. Work is here! That's the Abomination, the Hulk's arch-nemesis! Although he can't be killed, if he can be defeated, the justice points certainly won't be few!
Crossbones responded a few words to the radio, then looked at Kurohane, who had a clearly anticipatory expression. "Your chance to perform has arrived, Kurohane! Alexander Pierce wants you to come to the scene immediately. As long as you successfully execute this mission well, Alexander will guarantee to restore you to your original position, and you will be able to join the Avengers Initiative as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent!"
"Alright, but I need to go back and grab some gear!" Kurohane replied, a faint smile gracing his lips.
