Gaju - One

Chapter 95 - Undying Implant Part 2

“So? This Undying Implant will be able to make Gaju back using that method?” tian asked in a soft voice.

Gaju nodded his head.

“Is the method worth the pain Gaju feels? Isn't there another item that can help Gaju increase strength quickly?” tian asked with a worried look now.

Tian still could not imagine the pain Gaju had experienced while performing that method of self-mortification. Even from Gaju's description, everything would be over in just a few seconds, but Tian still couldn't imagine it.

Gaju simply nodded his head to answer Tian's question. He then looked at the thing shaped like a caterpillar and colored red. Gaju brought the mini computer on his left wrist closer to the implant in his right palm.

“Bip.”

“Implant. Initiate?”

“Initiate!” answer Gaju short and slow.

“Initiating..”.

“Initiation. Implant ready to use.”

Gaju looked at the blackish-red caterpillar in his palm. There was absolutely no movement there. It didn't seem to have changed at all and it's still the same as before.

Suddenly, beyond Gaju's expectations, the caterpillar wriggled its body. He slowly moved over Gaju's palm. His movements were very slow and he looked like a caterpillar moving in an indeterminate direction in search of leaves to eat.

Gaju felt the caterpillar twitching over his palm, but he did not feel any strange sensation from the creature.

Wait, these caterpillars..including living things or inanimate things? ask Gaju, confused in heart.

The first time this thing was in Gaju's hands, he was sure that this thing was an inanimate object. Gaju did not feel at all the pulse of life from the caterpillar in blackish red. But after the activation by the mini computer, Gaju now no longer knows whether the object in his palm and is now moving slowly it is a living thing or an inanimate object.

Tian approached and stood next to Gaju. He also observed the implant in Gaju's hand carefully.

“This is a caterpillar, right? He's a living animal, right?” tian asked as he glanced at his soulmate.

“I don't know. But there's no way the Island will fool the Candidates. Especially with that number of points,” replied Gaju while looking thoughtful.

The two of them were still observing the blackish-red caterpillar and the longer it looked the creepier it was with a serious look. The baby-sized caterpillar moved slowly and strove towards Gaju's wrist.

Gaju just let it go without trying to prevent it.

Suddenly.

Crashhhh.

“Arrrghhhhhhhh,” Gaju groaned in pain as he felt a sudden pain in his wrist.

“The assimilation process begins..” the sound of a mini computer suddenly startles them both.

“Asimilation?” muttered Gaju on the sidelines of his clenched teeth and held back the pain from his wrist.

The object moved from Gaju's wrist and then up towards the base of the arm, and moved towards Gaju's left chest, where Gaju's heart was located.

Gaju could only clench his jaw and endure the pain of the movement of the caterpillar that had entered without permission into his veins. For a moment, Gaju was eager to use his needle to stab the fast-moving caterpillar into his heart. But he stopped doing so because one sentence from his mini computer said that the assimilation process had begun.

Tian with a worried look could only see Gaju sitting on the ground with his face and body flooded with sweat. As the Implant moved from his hand, Gaju quickly undressed his army camou and only bare-chested. Therefore, Tian could also clearly see what was happening with the implant exploring Gaju's body.

Tian quickly took a standby position and pointed his middle and index fingers of his right hand towards Gaju. This was Tian's attacking position. He could activate mental energy as quickly as possible and concentrated it on both ends of his fingers. Ready to save his soulmate in case something unwanted happens.

“Argghhhhhhh.”

Gaju who had closed his eyes and endured the pain felt as the implant moved through his veins, now groaned again when he felt the implant reach his heart. For a moment, Gaju felt a tremendous pain, just as the Implant plunged his body into Gaju's heart.

Gaju and Tian could not see it, but inside Gaju's body, something very extraordinary was going on. The caterpillar-shaped implant, at first just stuck and stuck itself into the heart of Gaju. Then slowly, like a seed finding a suitable place to grow, something that looked like roots sprung up around the implant and spread out in all directions, covering the entire surface of Gaju's heart.

Then, a main vessel that previously worked naturally, deflected by force and through the implant that is now fused with the heart of Gaju. The blood, which was pumped by Gaju's heart to the rest of the body, is now changing its route and must go through the implant.

All the blood that flows through Gaju's body must now go through the implant before it is pumped by the heart and spread throughout Gaju's body. The implant then begins to work and change the genetic characteristics of the body Gaju slowly with the help of the circulatory system that has been controlled.

The Undying Implant is actually an implant type parasite. Just like the Berserker Implant that Aju used to wear. But unlike the Berserker Implant attached to Aju's chest, the Undying Implant is much more terrifying by assimilating it in the heart.

Gaju let out a long breath as the pain he had felt from his left chest gradually disappeared. He opened his eyes and looked towards Tian with a smile.

Tian who had been very worried but did not dare to shift his concentration suddenly rushed towards Gaju when he saw his soulmate had finished the assimilation process.

Tian hugged Gaju who was still bare-chested and they remained in that position for a few seconds.

After that, Tian released Gaju from his embrace and like a mother-daughter who was choosing the items he would buy while shopping, Tian looked at Gaju's body meticulously from top to bottom.

"You're okay, right?" tian asked with a worried tone.

"I'm fine. My body just feels lighter and more comfortable" Gaju replied with a smile.

Crasshhhh.

A split second later, a gaping wound appeared on Gaju's chest. The wounds inflicted by Gaju himself. A dagger was seen in his right hand.

Tian was startled and looked at Gaju with wide eyes.

But.

A miracle was seen shortly afterwards, the wound on Gaju's chest closed quickly in seconds and shortly thereafter only blood that had not had time to dry was seen on Gaju's chest.

"Sakiitttt," Gaju whimpered as he grimaced.

Even if the wound closed quickly due to the regeneration speed of the Undying Implant that had just successfully assimilated it, but still Gaju felt the pain.

"Mistake yourself!! Can make a small wound, why must cake earlier," Tian murmured as he passed leaving his soulmate in annoyance.
