But it's just a head now... Why do I feel like a head is alive... Have I gone mad too?
Lance didn't think he was affected, which could only mean this thing wasn't so simple.
Initially, Lance had merely untied the bag. Now, to uncover the truth, he had to suppress his disgust and take the head out completely.
Indeed, attached beneath the neck was the spinal column, looking as if it had been brutally ripped out, still bearing bloody traces.
This was the Collector's standard procedure, evident from their other specimens.
But Lance's attention wasn't on this. He quickly noticed something peculiar: a black, egg-shaped object, roughly the size of a chicken egg, was parasitically attached to the junction of the neck and the base of the skull. It had bored deep into the back of the brain and exuded a bizarre aura.
This object was undoubtedly the source of the life force he sensed.
This is actually the Collector's method of reproduction!
