Ling Cage (2019) s01e12 Episode Script
011
There's finally a new episode of Spirit Cage.
I really want to watch it.
Stop dreaming,
there's nothing on the Lighthouse to watch it from.
Use the OnePlus 8 Pro.
This miraculous device
has a refresh rate of 120Hz
giving you the smoothest fight scenes
no more stuttering frames.
Lend it to me for a day, I invited Ran Bing for a movie night.
Wait, we want to watch too!
The OnePlus 8 Series screen
the essential series.
With this, I can definitely beat Hong Kou.
Hong Kou, look at me.
No matter what difficulties and challenges we have to confront,
as a community facing the same fate,
all humans should abandon prejudice and unite,
and steel ourselves for the long river of time.
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hRecap
General Victor,
if Marc retrieves the medicine
and the Light and Shadow Association still intends to harm him,
what will you do?
If you get rid of him,
I will grant you the status of a Superior.
I really
can't do this.
Is it that you can't
or you're not willing to?
I promise you, I promise you I'll do it.
Only when you choose the right path
will you have a chance to live.
Prepare the spiritual diversion.
Hunters to Lighthouse.
Hello? Hello?
Why haven't they been contacted yet?
I'm thinking of a way.
Why didn't you take me with you?
That year, it was your trials of human testing without permission
that killed them.
You're a lunatic!
Don't think about doing anything devious to him.
Please find a way to excise the spinal centipede.
I have my ways.
I'm just afraid you don't have the guts for it.
Everything is flourishing
the memories awaken
Who is listening attentively?
The floating dust
finally settled
The illusions that appear
all disappear
Don't continue to be silent
Don't retreat anymore
Be as persistent as before
This world has changed
Ready to bathe in your own flame
Ready to be reduced to ashes

Human natures are what we can only
count on
LING
CAGE
What happened to me?
The Life Formula had decided that there's no value in treating you.
But I am now
If Captain Marc hadn't brought this medicine back in time,
you would've died.
But he also made you the first person on the Lighthouse to violate the Life Formula.
I wonder how you will
deal with Captain Marc, Lighthouse Master.
Where is he now?
We've put the spinal centipede and the subject under mild hypothermia.
The spinal centipede is stable.
No signs of scarlet pheromone release detected.
There are fractures in the thyroid cartilage at the upper part of his trachea
but it will not be an issue.
His external carotid artery and jugular vein have been mended.
The subject has a moderate concussion,
his cheek bones are slightly dislocated,
the fourth, sixth, and tenth ribs on his left are broken,
his left forearm bone and tibia bone in his left leg are broken and displaced,
his right forearm and lower right leg are crushed.
We're treating the aforementioned physical injuries
but the seventh cervical vertebra in his spine
the fifth and tenth thoracic vertebra,
and the fourth lumbar vertebra are completely broken.
His spinal cord is severely damaged, the bone fragments have detached,
furthermore, it is completely covered by the spinal centipede.
We need to excise the spinal centipede before carrying out any medical treatment.
There's no rush.
Every minute the parasite remains on the Lighthouse
is an increase in danger to the people on the Lighthouse.
Marc's spinal cord is severely damaged yet he's still alive,
don't you want to know the reason?
Their nerves are fusing together.
This is the way spinal centipedes parasitize and control humans.
That is true based on past records.
But previously, the spinal centipede's cells would unilaterally invade the human body,
yet this time
This is-
Marc's cells are swallowing the spinal centipede's cells.
No wonder there are no signs of him being controlled.
I don't know the reason for this,
but this is probably the reason why Marc is still alive.
The damage to his spinal cord wrecked Marc's central nervous system,
but he has used the nerves of the spinal centipede to survive,
this is truly a stroke of genius from the Creator.
Is it possible that Marc will assimilate with the entire spinal centipede
and then go back to normal?
It's not that easy.
Doctor,
the spinal centipede is gradually waking up from mild hypothermia.
Activity of life functions is increasing.
The fusion rate is increasing,
meaning the spinal centipede's cells are still being swallowed.
If this goes on, in less than 20 minutes,
the spinal centipede will break away from the host by itself.
Why is it like that?
Spinal centipedes never break away by themselves
once they parasitize a human body, do they?
You want to eat some meat
but then realize the meat is trying to eat you.
Wouldn't you try to escape?
Without the spinal centipede
If it's really the spinal centipede that's preserving Marc's life,
Marc will die the moment it breaks away.
We can't let the spinal centipede die
or let it break away from Marc.
We finally have someone with some brains.
Doctor Carrie,
if
if you could turn the spinal centipede-
Turn the spinal centipede into Marc's spine,
right?
Are you crazy?!
Theoretically speaking,
as long as we restrain the main nerve of the spinal centipede,
it will lose its autonomic capabilities.
In my view, a spinal centipede in that state
is no different from General Victor's prosthetic limb.
They are both medical support devices.
There were surgeries to perform brain transplants in the old world
proving that an individual's brain is fully capable
of controlling the central nervous system of another.
So, as long as Marc's brain can control the nerves of the spinal centipede,
the spinal centipede can become his spine.
But that's still a spinal centipede after all.
No one can guarantee what will happen in the future.
Is this the only way for him to survive?
Survive?
With a bug in his body, I am curious
if he will still be the same Marc?
In other words, is he still human?
Doctor Carrie,
may I know if there were any changes to the people previously
parasitized by spinal centipedes?
Their muscle activity substantially increased,
their strength and agility were also much higher than ordinary people.
They also retained a certain level of intelligence.
There are records of parasitized bodies using firearms
and also piloting Heavy Walkers in the archives.
Captain Marc took down almost half of the disciplinary priests
in the Dawn Hall with his bare hands.
The heavily-armored Sharif is still unconscious in the medical institute.
The Hunters also suffered heavy losses this time.
Should Marc lose control,
do you think the Light and Shadow Association and City Defense Army
can stop him?
Marc has given so much for the Lighthouse,
are you just going to give up on him?
Did he do everything for Lighthouse?
He did everything for you.
City Defense Army, come to the Eco Lab right away
to eliminate the spinal centipede.
The City Defense Army has no authority to enter the Ecology Institute.
Lighthouse Master.
He cannot die yet.
Can the Lighthouse not even handle a parasitized body?
Lighthouse Master.
I know your doubts.
You may lay out a defense if you are afraid of him losing control.
But
He was injured this badly for the future of the Lighthouse.
He was right.
In the past two years,
the Lighthouse indeed has the strength to return to the ground
and face its challenges,
but I have been slow in making this decision
because I do not know
if the Lighthouse can survive a war with almost no chance of victory.
Just like the surgery that Marc is about to go through,
it is full of unknown dangers.
Lighthouse Master,
even if there's only a trace of hope,
we shouldn't give up.
Yes,
even if there's only a trace of hope,
we shouldn't give up.
Regardless of whether Marc's surgery is a success or not,
you are not allowed to act by yourself,
you must follow the Bishop's plan in everything.

I have always felt you are all a bunch of idiots,
vermin and nerds,
but we only have 20 minutes now.
Once the spinal centipede leaves the host,
not only will Marc die,
but if it releases the scarlet pheromone
in this sealed space,
none of us will be able to escape.
So,
I am relying on all of you.

Yes, Doctor.
Captain Marc really looks like the spinal centipede's string puppet.
If he is really saved,
I don't know if I'll be talking to Captain Marc
or a spinal centipede in the future.
The stress response index of the spinal centipede has started to rise.

Dr. Carrie had it installed in the operation room of the Ecology
Research Institute, it is specialized in biological sampling and in vivo
research. Out of her fondness of it, Dr Carrie named the robotic
arms after famous medical doctors of the old world.
Get ready to remove the foreign object.
Get coagulants, antibiotics and anti-inflammation drugs.
Not need, just the basic treatment.
The spinal centipede is forcibly breaking away from the host.
We don't have enough time.
Think of a way to stimulate its leg tips.
Don't damage its body structure.
Yes, doctor.
Doctor Carrie, please bear with this.
This multipede will release the scarlet pheromone
if it's stimulated, right?
Spinal centipedes don't release scarlet pheromones when inside the body of its host.
You have not been to the ground for a long time
so I'm afraid you've forgotten about that.

Marc!
The subject's life index
has returned to normal.
Doctor.
There were quite a few surprises in this surgery.
First, the spinal centipede's attempt to parasitize was countered by a human.
Marc made use of the spinal centipede to survive.
Retract all robotic arms
Yes No Cancel
Also, the spinal centipede actively attached to Marc's bones.
Their nerves have completely fused together.
I wonder how it was done.
Lighthouse Master,
Marc must stay in my Ecology Institute.
I can definitely solve these puzzles,
perhaps I can even extract some secrets of Manna Ecology from him.
He's finally all right.
That's great.
His life was hanging by a thread.
TIME ELAPSED
I never thought it would go the way the Bishop expected it to.
But unfortunately,
Marc still came back alive.
Bringer of the Light,
I already did my best.
I I really thought he was dead.

Superior 4068
Bringer of the Light,
why is there still an Inferior number on the badge?
Don't Superiors have medical rights,
breeding rights,
as well as residences and names that belong to them?
Is Marc dead yet?
I think you have forgotten
how the Inferior with the long hair braids died.
Please spare 4277, Bringer of the Light.
She is innocent.
Superior 4068,
you should be more concerned about Marc dying sooner.
Only when he is dead,
can you leave this place alive.
Otherwise, everything you did on the ground
is punishable by law,
with no chance for appeal.
But you were the ones who wanted me do it.
But who will believe that?
This boy got something good out of a misfortune,
he acquired an indestructible spine.
But it is still unknown if the spinal centipede has permanently
lost its autonomic movements or if there will be organ
rejection and aftereffects.
For now,
it was just a successful surgery.
Carrie is in a good mood.
Marc will be all right.
Doctor, the head of the spinal centipede
Stop that, you idiots!
There's no pulse.

He is the first chimera of human and Manna ecology.
Don't you understand what this means?!
Adrenaline!
Marc, you can't lose.
Haven't you always defeated Manna ecology?
Wake up!
His Life Essence has started to disappear.
This surgery has preserved Marc's reputation as a Lighthouse citizen.
At least he still has a human appearance by dying in this way,
it's better than having his Life Essence drained by an extremozoan
and turned into an ash body.
Carrie, let it go.
This outcome is a kind
of liberation for him.
Hunter Marc.
Time of death: September 25, 07:42
\h\h\hHidden beneath the mouthpart of a spinal centipede is a bio-structure that
resembles a human face, which is usually curled behind the hard, outer shell.
\h\h\hSpinal centipedes do not release the Scarlet Pheromone when it is in the process of parasitizing.
\h\h\hWhen under constant, severe trauma, spinal centipedes make a
sharp scream, which sounds like a human language.
\h\h\hCurrent information shows that a spinal centipede's head may detach
from its body when its main nerve is electroshocked.
Marc,
wake up.
Didn't you say you would take me away from the Lighthouse?
Didn't you want to take me to the ground?
When there's danger,
didn't you want to stand in front of me?
Didn't you want to start a family with me?
Wake up now.
Silence!
Salute!
Small boss,
when you see Hong Kou,
send her our apologies.
Since we couldn't keep our promise.
Even if we die,
we old-timers would be too ashamed to see her.
With Captain Marc dead, who will be gathering supplies?
The Lighthouse will arrange that.
It has nothing to do with us Inferiors anyway.
Sir,
I could not complete the task you entrusted to me in the end.
You left our hope on the Lighthouse.
But he lost his life because of me,
before I can solve the secret in his body.
If I had told him the real reason why the three main laws were implemented,
perhaps everything would be different.
Where did I go wrong?
Analysis completed.
The specimen is currently in an inert state,
but signs of regeneration have been detected.

Superior 4068
Bringer of the Light,
why is there still an Inferior number on the badge?
Don't Superiors have medical rights,
breeding rights,
as well as residences and names that belong to them?
Is Marc dead yet?
I think you have forgotten
how the Inferior with the long hair braids died.
Please spare 4277, Bringer of the Light.
She is innocent.
Superior 4068,
you should be more concerned about Marc dying sooner.
Only when he is dead,
can you leave this place alive.
Otherwise, everything you did on the ground
is punishable by law,
with no chance for appeal.
But you were the ones who wanted me do it.
But who will believe that?
This boy got something good out of a misfortune,
he acquired an indestructible spine.
But it is still unknown if the spinal centipede has permanently
lost its autonomic movements or if there will be organ
rejection and aftereffects.
For now,
it was just a successful surgery.
Carrie is in a good mood.
Marc will be all right.
Doctor, the head of the spinal centipede
Stop that, you idiots!
There's no pulse.
No blood pressure detected.
His EEG is abnormal, there's no autonomic respiration.
Switch the respirator to controlled ventilation mode.
Prepare for endotracheal intubation.
What on earth is happening? Why did this happen?
In position.

Dr. Carrie, Captain Marc is already
What Captain Marc!
He is the first chimera of human and Manna ecology.
Don't you understand what this means?!
Adrenaline!
Marc, you can't lose.
Haven't you always defeated Manna ecology?
Wake up!
His Life Essence has started to disappear.
This surgery has preserved Marc's reputation as a Lighthouse citizen.
At least he still has a human appearance by dying in this way,
it's better than having his Life Essence drained by an extremozoan
and turned into an ash body.
Carrie, let it go.
This outcome is a kind
of liberation for him.
Hunter Marc.
Time of death: September 25, 07:42
\h\h\hHidden beneath the mouthpart of a spinal centipede is a bio-structure that
resembles a human face, which is usually curled behind the hard, outer shell.
\h\h\hSpinal centipedes do not release the Scarlet Pheromone when it is in the process of parasitizing.
\h\h\hWhen under constant, severe trauma, spinal centipedes make a
sharp scream, which sounds like a human language.
\h\h\hCurrent information shows that a spinal centipede's head may detach
from its body when its main nerve is electroshocked.
Marc,
wake up.
Didn't you say you would take me away from the Lighthouse?
Didn't you want to take me to the ground?
When there's danger,
didn't you want to stand in front of me?
Didn't you want to start a family with me?
Wake up now.
Silence!
Salute!
Small boss,
when you see Hong Kou,
send her our apologies.
Since we couldn't keep our promise.
Even if we die,
we old-timers would be too ashamed to see her.
With Captain Marc dead, who will be gathering supplies?
The Lighthouse will arrange that.
It has nothing to do with us Inferiors anyway.
Sir,
I could not complete the task you entrusted to me in the end.
You left our hope on the Lighthouse.
But he lost his life because of me,
before I can solve the secret in his body.
If I had told him the real reason why the three main laws were implemented,
perhaps everything would be different.
Where did I go wrong?
Analysis completed.
The specimen is currently in an inert state,
but signs of regeneration have been detected.
Inert state? Regeneration?
What was that sound?
Ran Bing.
