008 Blessing, you count me!
Facing Rifle's wary gaze, Masha thought for a moment and threw out a more secure answer: "My dad told me." β
"It's really interesting, little Hou Ye, you forgot the marriage contract with the young lady, forgot what the Horcrux was, but you remember the knowledge of the scientific school that Ma Hou Ye told you." Rifle looked at Masha with a frown, suspecting that the two words were as obvious as they were written on his face.
Ma Sha forcibly stabilized his mind and spread his hands: "I can't decide what I forget and remember, it's useless for you to tell me this." β
Laifu didn't reply, but Du Meilan, who was blocked by him, said: "This can already prove that he is not crazy, right?" Alright, we have important things to discuss, get out of the way. β
After that, the girl stepped back from Laifu and looked directly at Masha sitting on the sofa.
"Obviously, your Horcruxes are gone, and you're demonless. If you want not to be euthanized, you either have to rely on the power of your father Ma Houye, or you can only ......"
"I choose the latter." Masha interrupted the girl, "I'm going to join the school of science. β
"Think about it again......"
"I'm a dead man resurrected by the Scientology, and even if I can survive on my father's connections, can you guarantee that the witchers won't come to trouble me in the future?"
"It's riskier to join the school of science!"
Masha was about to speak, and Rifle spoke.
"I also support the little marquis. We shouldn't take the initiative to disclose the fact that we lost the Horcrux and became a demonless person, although Ma Hou Ye has military merits, it does not necessarily allow Xiao Hou Ye to obtain immunity. If he can't get an exemption, the little marquis will definitely die. Miss, the marriage contract between you and the little marquis is also null and void. β
Lefu paused and added, "And, we'll definitely be investigated afterward." β
He didn't go on.
Masha looked at Du Meilan and thought to himself, sure enough, you have something that would be very bad if the witchers knew about it.
- Tsk, how I want to believe you unconditionally, Mei Lan.
At this time, Marsha's heart was quite uncomfortable.
It feels like my favorite movie when I was a child has been remade into a third-rate traffic movie with traffic stars supporting the faΓ§ade.
He held back the emotions in his heart.
Now you need to rely on the door of Rifle to get a ticket to the school of science.
And, if possible, gather some intel on that strange ship.
Marsha: "Now that we've decided, let's move on to the next step, how can I get to the school of science?" β
"Little Marquis, you are very simple." Rifle frowned and looked at Marsha, "I ...... you so calmly about stepping into the forbidden path"
For Laifu's desire to say something, Masha spread his hands: "I have nothing to hesitate about, do I?" β
"Indeed, there is nothing to hesitate about, but even if there is nothing to hesitate, ordinary people will show uneasiness and apprehension when they decide to step into the forbidden path, but I don't see this emotion in you."
Rifle said as he took out the cigarette case from his pocket, and as soon as he opened it, he noticed Du Meilan's frowning brow, and closed the cigarette case again.
After the crisp sound of the cigarette case closing fell, he continued: "Little Hou Ye, you give me the feeling that I have become accustomed to science. Plus you can also casually name the Rorschach inkblot test...... You didn't think you'd actually embarked on the path of science a long time ago, right? β
- You're right! I'll give you 10 points!
- That's right, I'm from the Earth where science dominates!
- But I'll never admit it!
Masha smiled: "I'm just more comfortable accepting reality. Don't you think that a little bit of time can be saved compared to a pointless hesitation for half a day? β
"Indeed, from my point of view, it is indeed easier for you to be so simple." Rifle nodded, "I can't fully trust you, but ...... That's right, we have to deal with the current situation first. Now it's just me, Miss, and yourself who know you don't have a Horcrux. β
"You don't need to be honorific, it's weird." Ma Sha said that he came from the earth, and there are very few places where he uses you in his daily life, but he uses it more when he says strange things in a weird way, so he comes to Fu and you one by one, which makes Ma Sha a little uncomfortable.
Rifle shrugged: "Well, I don't really care. Little Hou Ye, and Miss, the next important point is not to add more people who know the secrets of Xiao Hou Ye. I think it's necessary to completely block the possibility of leaks with an oath spell. β
Du Meilan nodded: "I agree." β
Masha had no idea what the Oath Spell was, it sounded like a spell to prevent leaks of secrets, so he nodded, "I agree, too." β
Rifle nodded: "Very good." β
He pulled out a pocket swordβabout five centimeters long, the hilt barely holding it with two fingers.
Rifle blew on the sword, and the sword flew up.
- Wow, good magic.
Masha sighed sincerely.
- And this blowing action is reminiscent of the snake spirit blowing on Ruyi in the gourd baby, which is a bit sassy.
"I, Laifu, swear by my own life, and I will never reveal to anyone who has not made this oath that Marquis Masha has lost his Horcrux and has become a demon-free person."
With that, he stretched out his index finger, and the floating sword swooped down, slashing at Rifle's index finger.
Blood stained the blade, and then vanished as if it had been absorbed by the blade.
Du Meilan repeated what Rifle had done, and finally let the sword suck a little blood from his finger.
Then the two of them turned their heads to look at Marsha together.
Masha stood up, drew the gourd in the same way, and after saying it again, he stretched out his index finger.
As the sword slashed across his fingertips, he felt as if his fingertips had been electrified.
The paralyzing sensation spread to the entire index finger at once, making Masha completely unaware of the presence of the finger.
Laifu: "We are here to swear!" β
Suddenly there was a flash of fire around the sword.
In an instant, the sword was burned to fine ashes, scattered in the air, and disappeared without a trace.
"That's it?" Marsha asked.
"Yes, then we have no way to tell the secret of the little marquis to those who are not at the scene."
"What if you do?" Masha asked.
"It won't be like that." "You wouldn't have such a thought, and even if you made up your mind to tell the secret to the others, it would have disappeared from your mind before you said it." β
"That's right." Marsha looked reassured, "Is it time to move on to the next step?" β
"You...... You're in a hurry, little marquis. Rifle said and sat straight on the sofa across from Marsha, cocking his legs.
"I'm going to be euthanized, and you're in a hurry if you change you." Masha said, also sitting back in the place where he had just sit.
Rifle: "Understandable. But embarking on the path of the Scientology school is not an easy task, especially after the loss of the Horcruxes. People with Horcruxes often go crazy at the first step. β
- Wait, in that case, you still suggest I take this path?
Rifle seemed to step on Marsha's thoughts, and he curled the corners of his mouth with a smile that made Marsha shudder: "If you go crazy, I will kill you without hesitation." Then the young lady will not have any complaints. β
Marsha heard Du Meilan, who had just sat next to him, whisper, "That's why I suggested you go to your father." β
Laifu: "It's too late for you to quit now, but we have already made an oath, and no one can tell Ma Hou Ye the truth now." β
Marsha woke up like a dream.
- Blessing, you count on me!
Du Meilan: "Blessing! You! β
"Miss, I also obeyed the wishes of the little marquis, and I also obtained your consent before using the spell."
Marsha stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Meilan, who looked like he was about to roar at him: "Forget it, I'm already determined to embrace science, and you won't change reality if you yell at him, that oath spell shouldn't be easily canceled." β
"That's right, you can't break the spell unless you kill me." Rifle affirmed.
"Then let's take the next step, how do I join the school of science?" Marsha asked.
In fact, he had a feeling that he must not be crazy.
"People think it's a hassle to join a school of science, but it's actually the opposite, as long as you have the right implants, it's easy to get started, provided you haven't gone crazy after using the implants."
Marsha: "Implants? You mean, something like the iron spine of the Frankenstein you killed earlier? β
"Different schools of science have different implants. Frankenstein implants are a bit more terrifying. Raffle shrugged, "There are also milder implants, such as the Pasteurist implant, which is a bacteria-like thing, as long as it is ordinary." And no one knows what the Freudian implant is, and the witchers believe that it is a spirit body. β
Du Meilan whispered, "I've heard that the Babbage school will insert a difference machine into the body. β
Marsha: "If that's the case, all these people from the scientific school will be exposed as soon as they have a physical examination, right?" β
After saying that, he instantly regretted it.
- In this world, maybe the medical examination is only about looking and hearing!
However, Rifle didn't find anything wrong with what Masha said.
He replied casually: "There are 10,000 ways to deceive doctors in the school of science, and they themselves rarely get sick, especially the schools of Pasteur, Darwin, and the like. β
Masha understood in an instant.
- Modern medicine does not exist in this world. Therefore, modern medical detection methods such as B-ultrasound, X-ray, and magnetic resonance do not exist.
- This world just looks similar to the Earth I know about in 2010, and it's essentially a world with a high level of magic.
- I'm afraid that their mobile phones are not at all the ones I know.
With this realization, Masha said to Rifle, "I understand. I'm guessing you have a way to get an implant. β
"Yes, I have a way." As he spoke, Rifle pulled out a couple of small vials from his pocket, "This is an implant collected from that Frankenstein school member,
"The metal bug in this bottle is a Frankenstein implant that will gradually replace your spine as your abilities improve."
Marsha: "Do I have any other choice?" β
"The Frankenstein school is also good at alchemy, so they will accept commissions from the black market to make implants from other schools. This vial is a Darwinian implant that triggers local mutations, or evolutions, in your body. β
Marsha: "Am I not going to have an option other than becoming a monster?" β
"Yes, this third bottle is an implant from the Pasteurist school. However, the members of this school are relatively weak, and rely heavily on preset positions in battle. In addition to these three types of implants, if I want implants from other schools, I can only buy them on the black market, and I may not be able to buy them. β
Marsha: "Wait a minute, I'll think about it." β
