The short man carefully placed the small insect onto Captain Jin's wound. As soon as the insect touched the blood, it seemed to transform instantly. Its wings unfurled slightly, trembling incessantly, producing a strange, droning hum.
The insect was no bigger than a soybean, yet the sound of its vibrating wings was piercingly sharp. The rhythmic hum seemed to synchronize with human heartbeats, causing a person's pulse to quicken uncontrollably.
The short man had already stepped back several paces, clamping his hands over his ears, unwilling to endure the noise. But Captain Jin, with both arms severed, had no way to cover his ears. The sound of the insect's wings made his heart race, his entire body trembling with an inexplicable excitement. As time went on, his heartbeat accelerated further, the blood in his veins boiling as though driven to madness.
