A Bat Sings
The monk also owned normal instruments, like simple knife blades, needles--all sizes-- and a pair of scissors. "What are you going to do with those?," Shiki wished to know. No one answered his question. He wanted to move and leave that place but it was just then when he noticed his hands and feet were chained.

...

He screamed as one of the blades pierced his skin. It was the sickle scalpel which the monk used to cut him up. He began removing the boy's internal organs, one by one. Shiki watched the monk hold his lungs and kidneys in his hands, then ultimately his heart. The cloaked man replaced it with the flower of a rose and sewed his skin with one huge needle. He used the hand like rake to gauge out his eyes balls and the unusual clipper to take out his brain, piece by piece.

He filled the empty spaces with rose petals and brought a bat close to him. When the animal sang, Shiki's body shivered. They have created yet another one. He was going to be buried in the cemetery, have a rose on his gravestone and react to the bat's singing. At this rate, this sect was going to create an army.
