Chapter 259: Absorbing "Immortality" and Soaring Combat Power (II)
"Does this medicine really work?" Ah Machi couldn't help but ask towards Zonghai.
"The success rate should be a little higher than last time." Zong Hai said softly, "Because there shouldn't be much immortal poison that enters the main body of Ogata......"
The "last time" that Zong Hai was referring to was the time he saved Xianhai's younger brother.
The apprentices of the mysterious master and apprentice, Heshi and Nao, only 2 pills that can suppress the immortal poison were given to Zonghai.
One of them had been used to save Xianhai's younger brother before.
And the pill contained in the small jar in his hand, which was bubbling outward, was the last medicine that could suppress the immortal poison.
"Female benefactor, open the mouth of Ogata benefactor."
Zong Hai said as he poured out the pills in the jar in his hand.
After stuffing the pill into Ogata's bloody mouth, Sokai pressed Ogata's mouth and forced Ogata to swallow it.
Ogata was now in a semi-unconscious state, but fortunately, after Sokai stuffed the pill into his mouth, he still swallowed the pill in his mouth as if he had made an instinctive reaction.
Seeing that Ogata had swallowed the pill smoothly, Zong Hai's originally tense face finally relaxed a little at this time—but it didn't relax too much.
"Lord Ogata was injured last night, and it wasn't until this morning that the immortal poison attacked." Zong Hai said softly, "It took so long to attack, which means that there must not be much immortal poison that has entered the main body of Ogata. ”
"But will you be able to get through it...... It's up to the creation of the Ogata benefactor......"
……
……
Ogata now feels like his mind is in a state of chaos.
He only remembered that after seeing Amachi and Makimura come back, his body began to get more and more tired.
I was so tired that I couldn't even stand on my feet.
After feeling a churn in his stomach and a mouthful of blood spitting out, his eyes went black, and all the senses in his body seemed to dull at this moment.
I can't open my eyes and can't hear clearly.
He could only hear Amachi and Sohae who seemed to be calling out to him.
But I couldn't hear what they were shouting.
Only vaguely heard them seemingly calling his name.
Then, I felt my mouth forcibly opened, and then someone stuffed a round, small object into my mouth.
Although he didn't know what it was, Ogata subconsciously swallowed it.
After swallowing this thing into his stomach, he lost consciousness completely, could no longer hear anything, and could no longer feel anything......
……
……
After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly rang out in Ogata's head.
The sudden sound woke Ogata slightly.
【Ding! The host begins to absorb the "immortal" ......]
……
【Ding! The host successfully absorbs some of the "immortal" ......]
……
After these two voices fell, Ogata's mind returned to calm...... No other sound arose.
Ogata, who was startled by the sudden sound and regained some consciousness, fell asleep again as the voice fell......
……
……
It's like a light slowly appearing in the dark.
First there was a little bit of light, and then a little bit of light expanded at a rate visible to the naked eye—the restoration of consciousness was like this process.
At first, I heard some voices gradually.
Then he began to gradually perceive his limbs and five bodies.
Eventually, the eyelids regained the strength to lift up.
Slowly lifting his eyelids, the first thing that caught Ogata's eye was the unfamiliar wooden ceiling and the face of Amachi, who took up a large part of his field of vision.
Amachi has always been by Ogata's side.
As soon as he noticed that Ogata was about to wake up, he immediately came over and waited for Ogata to wake up.
When Ogata opened his eyes, a look of joy immediately clinged to Amachi's entire cheek.
"Zong Hai! Zonghai! Amachi turned away as he shouted Sokai's name.
After Amachi left, Ogata struggled to sit up.
Although he clearly felt that his body was very weak now, he still had the strength to sit up.
As soon as he sat up, he began to turn his gaze and observe his surroundings.
A simple, small room with a thin blanket under and on his body, and the only window in the room overlooked the sea.
Based on these observations with the naked eye, Ogata immediately deduced that he should be in a room somewhere on the shogunate ship they had captured.
While observing his environment, memories from before he fell unconscious kept coming back to Ogata's mind like bubbles.
At that moment, the door that had just been closed was pushed open again.
Amachi is back.
Alone when he left.
When I came back, I took a large group of people with me.
The four of them, Munakai, Mamiya, Makimura, and Konnosuke, followed closely behind Amachi and rushed into the room where Ogata was resting.
Before and after everyone came to Ogata, Konnosuke took the lead and said urgently to Ogata:
"Ogata-sama! How do you feel? ”
"How ......?" Ogata stretched his hands and fingers, "I don't feel anything other than feeling tired......"
“…… Ogata donor. After seeing Ogata wake up, Sokai didn't show obvious joy like the others, but said in a deep voice, "Please let me see the wound on your neck." ”
With that, without waiting for Ogata to respond, he directly reached out and untied the white cloth that wrapped Ogata around his neck.
As Sokai untied the white cloth around Ogata's neck, Amachi explained to Ogata what had happened to him.
After learning that he had been poisoned by immortality and had been fed the medicine that could suppress the immortal poison by Sokai, despite his weak body, Ogata's eyes widened in one breath.
"And how long have I been unconscious?"
"Soon." "I've only been asleep for about three hours, and it's just past noon. ”
"Have you slept for such a short time...... How do I always feel like I've been asleep for days......"
Ogata looked down at his palm.
"Three hours have passed, and I have not vomited blood and died...... Zong Hai, does this mean that the medicine has taken effect and the immortal poison in my body has been removed? ”
“…… I don't know. Zong Hai said in a deep voice, "You have to look at the wound first......
As soon as Zong Hai finished saying this, he just untied all the white cloth wrapped around Ogata's neck, revealing the wound on Ogata's neck.
After seeing the wound on Ogata's neck, everyone present except Ogata felt their hearts sink.
It's just that the flesh around the wound on Ogata's neck is still dark purple.
Ogata, who couldn't see the state of his wounds, saw that the faces of Amachi and Sokai had changed, and he couldn't help but feel nervous, and couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong? Why do you all look like you have a heavy expression? ”
“…… Ogata donor. After being silent for a while, Zong Hai whispered to Ogata , "About your body...... Now there's good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first? ”
"That'...... Let's start with the good news. ”
"The good news is probably because the amount of immortal poison entering your body is small, and it should be because of your physical fitness, so the medicine that can suppress the immortal poison has taken effect, and the immortal poison in your body has been suppressed, and there should be no more worries about your life in a short period of time."
"That'...... What's the bad news? ”
"The bad news is that the immortal poison in your body is just suppressed, and it is not completely removed."
Zong Hai raised his finger and pointed at the dark purple flesh on Ojikata's neck.
"Your flesh here is still dark purple, which means that you should still have immortal poison in your body, but it is suppressed, and it will not let you die immediately."
After Sokai's words fell, Makimura just took a bronze mirror from nowhere and showed it to Ogata.
Although the reflection effect of the bronze mirror was not good, and the reflection of the human face was blurry, Ogata was able to see through the bronze mirror that the flesh around the wound on his neck was dark purple.
This piece of flesh turned dark purple is not large, but it is not small.
Ogata was startled at the sight of the dark purple flesh on his neck, but he quickly adjusted the expression and expression on his face.
"So—" Ogata asked rhetorically, "You mean that I still have immortal poison in my body, but it's just suppressed, so it didn't let me die immediately." Is that what it means? ”
"That's right." Zong Hai nodded.
"Then ......," Ogata hesitated, "will this remnant of immortal poison in my body recur?" ”
Zong Hai was silent.
This question of Ogata was not answered immediately.
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Zong Hai said softly:
“…… There is a possibility that the immortal poison in your body will erupt again...... It is also possible that it will be suppressed until you die......"
"How could it be ......" Amachi, who was originally ecstatic because of Ogata's awakening, turned white again after hearing Sokai say this.
As for Mamiya, Makimura, and Konnosuke, the expressions on their faces became heavy after hearing Zong Hai's words.
Ogata, on the other hand, turned his gaze to the bronze mirror in Makimura's hand again, looking at himself in the mirror.
His face is also not very good-looking now.
- Time bomb......
Looking at the dark purple flesh reflected in the mirror, Ogata couldn't help but say in his heart.
- A time bomb that doesn't know when it will explode......
According to Zong Hai's account just now, the remaining immortal poison in his body now is a time bomb that will explode at any unknown time.
Maybe tomorrow, the immortal poison in his body will explode again, causing him to vomit blood and die.
It is also possible that the immortal poison in his body never broke out again, and he spent the rest of his life safely......
At that moment, Ogata's pupils shrank slightly.
Because he suddenly remembered that as he passed out, he vaguely heard an unfamiliar system sound in his head that he had never heard before.
It seems to be talking about absorbing "immortality...... Finally, there is a sentence that successfully absorbs part of "immortality".
With a puzzled mind, Ogata pulled out his personal system interface.

……
After checking the interface of his personal system, Ogata's eyes widened in shock.
His strength, agility, and reflexes each increased by 1 to 11, 10, and 9.
His stamina has increased by 2 to 11.
The largest increase in life force, from 19 to 23, an increase of 4 points.
- What's going on......?
Just as Ogata was stunned by the sudden increase in his personal attributes, the sound of the system sounding in his head as if it had taken on a life of its own automatically appeared in Ogata's mind as if he were unconscious.
- Absorb ...... "immortality......
— and...... Successfully absorb part of the "immortal" ......
Ogata mentally repeated the two words that had been spoken in the voice of the system that sounded in his head when he was unconscious.
- "Immortality"......
Ogata couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the purple flesh on his neck.
- It turns out that what was buried in my body at this time was not a time bomb...... Is it a double-edged sword......
- Although this "immortal poison" will erupt again and take my life at some point, its existence can bring a lot of increase to my bodily functions......
Thinking of this, Ogata couldn't help but complain in his heart:
- Did I make a big profit or a big loss......
- If I keep this "immortal poison" in my body all the time, will my bodily functions continue to increase because of this......
……
……
The room where everyone was was silent for a while.
No one spoke...... No, it should be said that no one knows what to say now......
Different people have different expressions on their faces at this time.
Zong Hai and Jinzhi helped them to show regret.
Mamiya and Makimura's expressions were a little heavy.
As for Amachi...... Her face was pale and bloodless, as if she had heard some terrible news.
On the contrary, it is the central figure of the incident of "Immortal Poison" - Ogata is the most calm.
His face was thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.
It took a long time for Ogata to finally speak up and break the silence in the room.
"Near no Suke." Ogata reached into his arms and pulled out two pieces of paper filled with dense words, "Can you give me these two pieces of paper?" ”
"Huh?" Konnosuke raised an eyebrow in confusion.
He recognized the two sheets.
It is the prescription for his waist written by the master and apprentice of Heshi and Hezhi.
After Kinnosuke showed him and Amachi the two prescriptions, Sotaro and his party attacked, and at that time, Oya casually stuffed the two prescriptions into his arms.
"Can be ......" These two prescriptions weren't very valuable to Konnosuke, so Konnosuke replied without thinking, "But...... What do you want these 2 prescriptions for? Are you going to treat your back injury? ”
"Nope." Ogata silently stuffed the two prescriptions in his hand back into his arms, "It's not for back injuries, but for ...... Take it for more important things......"
