"How so? How so? ”

Veronica also saw something strange around the wound, and she panicked.

Rosen frowned: "Winnie, don't you still have the power to glow white?" Try it and see if you can block it! ”

Veronica's body immediately lit up with a hazy white light, especially near the wound, the white light appeared very bright.

At this critical moment, Rosen didn't care about etiquette, he squatted down, took out a dagger from the side of his leg, carefully cut the clothes near the wound, and carefully observed the situation around the wound.

He saw that the wound on Veronica's waist was about five or six centimeters long, nearly half a centimeter deep, and it looked like a hideous bloody mouth, and the skin within about 5 centimeters of the wound had completely turned blue-black, and under the white light, the blue-black skin seemed to have stopped spreading...... No, it's still spreading, it's just getting very slow.

"Ah~~~~" Veronica couldn't help but cry out in pain again, because of the intense pain, her hand clutched the stone railing of the fountain, and there were already a lot of cracks in the stone railing.

"How are you feeling right now?" Rosen asked busily, facing this completely unknown situation, he couldn't find a way to deal with it.

"It hurts! It hurts a lot! It was like a knife stirring in my waist! Veronica's face was full of pain, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

The situation is very urgent.

Lawson was shocked when he saw it, and he hurriedly said, "I'll try to help you release the poisonous blood from the wound!" Bear with me! ”

"Hmm!" Veronica gritted her teeth and nodded.

Rosen activated his magic power, quickly disinfected and sterilized the dagger in his hand, and slashed Veronica's blackened skin with force, but this knife only left a pale white knife mark on the black skin, and the skin was not even cut.

"Damn it!"

Lawson activates the mana again, channeling the energy from the energy pool into the dagger. The temperature of the dagger immediately skyrocketed, and after a few seconds, the blade turned red, especially the blade, which was almost incandescent.

He cut at Veronica's waist wound again.

"Huh~~" sounded, under the action of the high temperature, the skin was finally cut, and a stream of sticky black blood immediately gushed out of the wound. This black blood seemed to have intelligence, and it wrapped the wound not to mention, but also wrapped the dagger in Lawsen's hand.

Wrapped in black blood, puffs of green smoke came out of the dagger, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

Rosen's mind froze, and he injected energy into the dagger again to maintain the high temperature of the dagger, and then cut forward with force.

"Snort~Sneer~~"

Smoke rose from the wound, and the air was filled with an indescribable stench, some resembling burning plastic, and a bit like rotten eggs, which made people smell sick.

Under the action of the high-temperature dagger, the black blood from the wound continued to gush out, and it was constantly burned, and after five or six minutes, the black blood finally flowed clean and turned into bright red blood.

Rosen looked at the skin around the wound again, and found that the skin color had lightened a lot, and there was a faint hint of flesh. Moreover, under the action of white light around the wound, the black area is slightly reduced.

The injury seems to have gotten better.

"How are you feeling right now?" Rosen asked.

Veronica's eyebrows were tangled together: "It's a little better than just now, but it still hurts....... Ah~~ My strength is almost exhausted, I can't hold on! ”

The white light on her body began to slowly weaken, and as the light weakened, the skin near the wound began to darken and darken again.

Rosen was sweating profusely, and he immediately said, "Don't panic! Don't panic! I'll use my magic to help you exorcise poison! ”

"Hmm~" Veronica nodded slightly, her teeth clenched, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Lawson immediately activated his magic power, turning into a magical tentacle and reaching for Veronica's waist wound.

At the moment when the magic tentacles touched the wound, he felt his head shake slightly, and an indescribable touch entered his consciousness, some like cold, slippery mud, when Lawson controlled the magic tentacles to continue to probe into the wound, he felt as if he was stuck in a muddy swamp, countless mud wrapped around him, pulling him and preventing him from moving forward.

Lawson gritted his teeth and endured the strange touch, using all his strength to control the magic and continue to probe forward, trying to snatch the strange toxin that had invaded Veronica's body from the wound.

But soon, Rosen realized that he couldn't do that. His alchemical magic was mired in toxins, and he struggled to extract toxins from his wounds, and even he himself felt like he was in a desperate situation.

After forcibly holding on for a few seconds, Lawson had to withdraw from the magic tentacles.

A cold wind blew, and Rosen felt that his back was cold, and when he touched his hand, it was all cold sweat. He looked up at Veronica, and saw that her face was pale, and her delicate lips were completely bloodless.

Sensing Rosen's gaze, Veronica asked weakly, "How is it?" ”

Rosen shook his head slightly: "I have released all the poisonous blood, but there are still a large number of strange toxins in the wound that cannot be dispersed, and new poisonous blood is still being generated." ”

He looked down at the wound on Veronica's waist, and after a while, the skin around the wound began to darken again, while the white light on the normal skin around the wound dimmed a lot, and there was a flickering sensation.

"I'm running out of strength." Veronica had a bitter look on her face and paused, she continued, "Rosen, promise me not to turn me into a monster. While I can control myself, you ...... Kill me! ”

"......." Rosen was silent.

At this time, a voice came from the street next to it: "Rosen, Veronica, what's going on?" ”

It's Morbius.

Rosen pointed to Veronica's wound and said bitterly, "Winnie has been poisoned, and I can't heal it." ”

The most terrifying thing about this poison is the speed of its terrifying spread, and he has no time to study the corresponding antidote method.

Morbius walked quickly to the fountain, crouched down and took a closer look at the wound on Veronica's waist, and immediately gasped: "The toxin is spreading rapidly, it is transforming Winnie into a monster!" ”

Rosen smiled bitterly: "You also encountered that kind of weird monster?" ”

"Hmm." Morbius nodded: "It's very difficult, I'm not an opponent, but fortunately I ran faster than it." ”

Veronica endured the sharp pain of the wound and whispered, "Old friend, it seems that I have to go to Heaven first. ”

Rosen's heart was shocked, and he grabbed Veronica's hand tightly, and was speechless for a moment.

He knew that such a fate would befall him, and he should not have brought Veronica out of Sunderland Town in the first place. Without him, Veronica would have had a good life, and she would still have plenty of free time to study her math or enjoy the warm sunshine on a leisurely afternoon.

It's a pity that things have come to this point, and everything can't be done again.

Veronica looked at Rosen and smiled weakly, "Don't blame yourself, everything is my own volition." When I die, you bury me by a river with clear water. By the way, don't forget to keep a manuscript of calculus next to me. ”

"Hmm~" Lawson squeezed Veronica's hand hard, his eyes sour and unbearable.

Morbius sat silently on the railing of the fountain, his claw reaching out from one hand, and digging hard at the railing, making deep marks on the stone railing.

"Goodbye, friends." Veronica raised the Destroyer Musket in her hand and aimed it at her sideburns, about to pull the trigger.

"Don't!" Lawson grabbed Veronica's hand, and he felt water slip down his eyes: "It's not the last moment, don't give up!" ”

In fact, he knew that this was the only way, but he just didn't give up.

Morbius sighed deeply: "Rosen, if you don't have a cure, let her go peacefully." ”

Veronica comforted softly, "Don't be sad, young man, I've lived long enough. Compared to those mortals who are struggling to survive, I have suffered nothing in my life. This is already like the gods have favored me. ”

A person who is about to die, but consols the living, Rosen was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked up into Veronica's eyes.

Veronica smiled with relief, "I'm so sorry, I can't go all the way with you"

She raised her head slightly, leaned into Lawson's ear, and whispered, "You know what? I love the way you focus on writing math equations, it's very charming. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly, kissed Rosen's delicate lips lightly on the cheek, and said, "I don't have the courage to shoot myself, you can send me away." ”

Rosen burst into tears, but slowly raised the musket in his hand and aimed it at the back of Veronica's head.

At this moment, Morbius turned his head and couldn't bear to look at it.

At this moment, Veronica also closed her beautiful eyes, waiting for the final moment to come.

The whole world seemed to fall silent.

Just as Rosen was about to pull the trigger, a voice came from not far away: "Young man, if I were you, I wouldn't give up so easily!" ”

"Who?"

The three of them turned their heads at the same time and followed the sound to look over.

At the entrance of an alley next to the market, an old man with frosted temples and fiery red hair was standing quietly.
