Laplace Manor, balcony on the second floor of the wooden building.

Fighting back his fear, Rosen stood up slightly, looking beyond Sir Laplace's corpse to the interior of the room.

Thanks to the bright moon tonight, he can see everything in the room clearly, but, if given a choice, he would rather see nothing.

There were two figures on the large bed in the room, one was Mother Lawson, and the other was a blonde man, to be exact, blonde curls.

Rosen's mother was also wearing only pajamas, she leaned back against the blonde man's arms, her hands were waving meaninglessly in the air, her feet twitched unconsciously, and she kicked the bed board for a while, making a 'knock~knock~' sound, and her throat made a 'uh~uh~' breathing sound.

The blonde man leaned his back against the head of the bed, hugged Rosen's mother in his arms, lowered his head, his mouth was close to Rosen's mother's neck, and from time to time there was a very light 'coo~coo' swallowing sound in his throat.

In this situation, it is as if a beast is biting the neck of a fawn, the beast is drinking blood, and the fawn can only make a meaningless struggle.

"Vampire ~ sun-like blonde curly hair, slender and straight body......." Lawson felt that his legs and stomach began to be sour and soft, and he felt a little untenable.

Although the face of the blonde man could not be seen, judging from the details seen so far, this vampire looked exactly the same as the high-level vampire that Lawson had just killed in the game.

At this moment, the vampire at the head of the bed suddenly raised his head, his entire mouth was covered with blood, and there was a lot of viscous blood dripping down, but this did not hide his attractive facial features, as well as the bright blue eyes of the lake.

He looked towards Rosen's position, his eyes met Rosen's gaze, and his bloody mouth opened slightly, revealing an evil smile, and the look seemed to say: "I have already found you, you don't have to run, just wait for death." ”

'It's really him!' Viken, a high-level vampire! ’

Lawson was frightened by this look, and retreated uncontrollably, stepping on the balcony, making a 'knock~knock~' sound, and finally, he leaned heavily on the wooden railing of the balcony, making a 'bang' sound, if the wooden railing was not high enough, this time Lawson had to fall directly downstairs!

"How could I be so unlucky? It's okay to cross over, but as soon as you come to meet a super boss like a high-level vampire, it's simply a hellish difficulty! ”

"What to do? What to do? This kid has already discovered me! I don't have the strength to fight back now, and I can't escape, can I really just wait for death? ”

"Maybe if you die, you might go back to Earth...... But what if I can't go back? There is only one life, death is death, and it is impossible to be reborn! ”

"Do you really want to die? No, no, no, I haven't lived enough, I want to live! I want to live! ”

After spending more than a minute on the balcony, Rosen slowly came to his senses, and he turned his head to look at the vampire Viken in the room again, and found that he had bitten Rosen's mother's neck again and continued to suck blood.

A thought came to Rosen's mind: 'If the prey is a noblewoman, Viken likes to suck the blood slowly, and in his words, the noblewoman's blood is more delicious, and he must taste it carefully.' ’

This judgment did not come out of nowhere, in the game, he tried 49 times in a row in order to defeat the vampire Viken, trying various methods. He has studied this vampire boss thoroughly, which is also his biggest reliance now.

'It depends on the situation, Viken will have to suck for a while, I don't have the ability to save people, but as an alchemist, there is a glimmer of hope for self-rescue! ’

Thinking of this, Rosen immediately climbed onto the balcony railing with his hands and feet, returned to his room, and ran back to the alchemy room at the corner of the corridor in three steps and two steps.

'Vampires are as fast as the wind, their power is infinite, their claws can destroy gold and stone, and their senses are far sharper than humans, so if I run away, I have no chance of escaping! ’

'I'm not a master hunter now, nor do I have any alchemy weapons, just a rich young master who is less than 15 years old, I don't know anything, alchemy is only a beginner, and I am by no means his opponent, and I am not a hundred. ’

'Although the vampire Viken is a vampire, he has a haughty personality and likes to play pretend. The logic of a high-level vampire is similar to that of a Terran, which means that I can follow the flaws in his thinking and set traps for him...... I have a glimmer of hope! ’

'Yes, traps! But how do you set up a trap? What traps work for vampires? ’

Lawson ran back to the alchemy room almost instinctively. During this time, his mind was spinning wildly, desperately trying to find a way to protect himself.

After returning to the alchemy room, Rosen immediately lit all the 12 candles on the candlestick, and the alchemy room suddenly became very bright, and many dark corners were also illuminated very clearly.

On the left side of the wooden table there is a bookshelf, and next to the bookshelf there is a decorative wooden shelf, on which are placed a bottle of red wine, a bottle of musk balm, and many bottles and jars of different sizes, as many as twenty-five or sixteen.

'These...... It's all alchemy. ’

Lawson's heart shook suddenly, and a large number of memories about alchemy surfaced in Lawson's mind, most of them from the "Hunting" game in his previous life, and a small part from the memories of Lawson, a young man from another world. The former are the recipes for various alchemy items, while the latter are the specific alchemy practice experience in the real world.

Metaphysical knowledge and down-to-earth practical experience are perfectly blended together to form an alchemy that is truly usable in the Otherworld!

How do you save your life from the vampire Viken?

Of course, you can't rely on Viken's mercy, that guy has no mercy at all, and the only thing Rosen can rely on now is alchemy and the alchemical medicine on the wooden shelf in front of him.

Lawson strode towards the medicine shelves, opening the alchemy medicines one by one.

"Gypsum, alum, quartz, charcoal, saltpeter, limestone extract, glycerin...... Wait, what is this? ”

Lawson opened a black bottle, and a faint musky smell suddenly wafted out of the air, and after smelling it for a while, he felt a little dizzy in his head.

He recognized it: "It's mandala root extract!" ”

Mandala, also known as the angel horn, has a faint musky fragrance in its rhizome extract, which has a strong anesthetic effect, can make people nervous, hallucinate, and even kill if you drink too much. This bottle of extract is about 30 ml, which is very thick, and if ordinary people drink it, there is a certain chance of death. Crucially, it's useful for vampires as well.

"Good thing, if I can make Viken poisoned and hallucinate, then I should have a chance to escape, but how to use it?" Rosen meditated. Viken the vampire is not stupid, on the contrary, he is very shrewd and will never take the mandala poison on his own initiative.

Unable to think of a way out for a moment, Lawson opened the other bottles and continued to check the potion.

After opening five bottles, he found another bottle of special potion, this thing had a unique smell, there was a faint fishy smell, and there was an astringent smell, and a word came to his mind: "Stone sea urchin slurry, containing pilocarpine, can treat glaucoma, and can also relieve mandala poison..... Wait~~Wait~~"

A flash of inspiration flashed through Rosen's mind.

"Mandala poison, sea urchin slurry, a bottle of red wine, musk balm, and my alchemical talent...... There you have it! Rosen came up with a solid solution.

Just do it!

He immediately picked up the bottle and uncorked it.

'Bang~' opened the cork of the wine bottle, and the fragrant aroma of the wine immediately came out. This bottle of red wine is a good thing, called 'Moonlight Night', a bottle is worth 100 rumins, and Sir Laplace is reluctant to drink it, so he puts it in his son's alchemy room as a decoration for the façade.

"Wow~Wow~"

With a crooked hand, Lawson poured red wine on the wooden board without any distress, and soon, most of the whole bottle was poured out by Lawson, and a strong aroma of wine wafted in the alchemy room.

Vampires have very sharp senses and their noses are more sensitive than dogs. Lawson did this by masking the smell of mandala poison in the air with alcohol.

This is not enough.

Rosen brought over the musk balm on the wooden shelf, which was a pure spice, very common in aristocratic families, and did not attract attention.

He took the balm to the candlestick on the table and roasted it, and when the temperature rose, the musk aroma evaporated greatly faster, and the musk fragrance in the air became very strong.

'The smell of wine paralyzes the vampire's sense of smell, and the musk and mandala smell are similar, which should confuse the vampire's judgment. ’

After doing this, Rosen took the mandala venom, gritted his teeth, drank it in one gulp, then quickly hid the medicine bottle, and picked up the red wine, there was still a small half of red wine left in the bottle, he immediately took a large sip of red wine, and rinsed the taste of the mandala venom in his mouth.

His opponent is a vampire who is far superior to humans in every way, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is superhuman, and no matter how cautious he is in dealing with such a person, it is not too much.

After drinking, Lawson put the bottle containing the sea urchin slurry in the intimate breast pocket of the cotton robe, and then walked quickly to the table and sat down on a chair, immersed himself, and used his alchemy talent to sense the condition in his body.

The mandala poison doesn't recognize people, and it will start to take effect when you drink it in your stomach, and if he doesn't interfere with alchemy, maybe the vampire won't come to suck the blood, and he will be poisoned first.

Soon, Lawson sensed the mandala toxin in his stomach.

'Huh? Strangely, my elemental perception has become much stronger, at least twice as clear, is it because of the toxins in my body? ’

This change came as a surprise to Rosen.

He felt very clearly that he had a very cold, evil aura, something like a current of air that quickly passed through the outer walls of the intestines and stomach, and entered the blood vessels, spreading quickly throughout the body with the blood vessels.

When the concentration of this evil 'air current' reached a certain level, the hallucinogenic effect of the mandala poison manifested itself in Lawson.

Lawson felt that the whole person was wooden and lightheaded, and there were a lot of ghosts when he looked at things, and the ghosts were constantly transforming, turning into all kinds of strange things, and the heavens and the earth seemed to be slowly rotating.

"Almost, the mandala poison has spread all over my body, and I already have a sufficient concentration of the toxin in my blood. The hallucinogenic effects are now present, indicating that the toxin has started to affect my nervous system. If I want to live, I have to control the spread of the toxin, or I'll be doomed even if there is a cure! ”

Poisoning in the real world is not what is written in martial arts novels, no matter how poisoned it is, as soon as the antidote arrives, it can immediately jump alive, as if nothing has happened. The reality is that after the toxin enters the body, it will quickly destroy the body tissues, and if the time drags on for too long, it will cause irreversible damage to the body.

"My elemental control ability should be able to reduce the poison of the mandala poison."

Rosen closed his eyes and let his full attention be on the evil cold snap.

The mandala toxin is not a good baby, it not only penetrates into the bloodstream, but also tries to break through to other body fluids, they have penetrated into the lymphatic fluid, and a very small amount of the toxin even crosses the blood-brain barrier and enters Rosen's cerebrospinal fluid.

This is also the reason why Lawson hallucinated.

Once the toxins accumulate to a certain level, Lawson's nervous system can be irreversibly damaged.

'Give me back!' ’

Lawson gathered his spirit, stretched out his 'thinking hand', and began to drive these scurrying evil cold currents back into his veins.

A very strange thing happened, the evil cold snap was like a fish caught in a net, although it was still scurrying around, but it was never able to break through the net, and had to retreat into the veins helplessly.

Rosen's hallucinations vanished without a trace.

'Hiss~ The effect is at least twice as good as I expected! Rosen was surprised and delighted, he estimated that it might be because of the internal environment, and it must be easier to control his body than the outside world.

"Great, I seem to have some energy left, I should be able to do better." Rosen had more ideas.

Vampires suck blood, they bite the blood vessels of their prey's neck with their blood-sucking teeth, and the first thing they suck is the blood near the neck. But now, the mandala toxin in Lawson's body is almost evenly distributed in the blood vessels of the whole body, if he can make the toxin collect in the blood vessels near the neck, then the vampire will inhale many times more poison in a short period of time, and the poison will be faster and more violent!

Thinking so, he immediately took action.

Under the control of his consciousness, the evil cold currents scattered in the blood vessels continued to rush to the location of the carotid arteries, and the evil cold currents in the neck became more and more condensed, and the difficulty of control increased in a straight line.

'Whew~Whew~' Lawson's breathing became a lot shorter: "I'm using elemental control to fight against the natural diffusion of liquids, which is really quite energy-consuming...... Hold! Hold! Now the toxins are all around the neck, and around the neck is the head, I must not let the toxins disperse, otherwise my brain will be the first to suffer! ’

It's like dropping a drop of ink into a glass of water, because the molecules move irregularly, and the ink will inevitably tend to spread evenly into the water. What Lawson is doing now is to recondense the ink that has been blended into clear water into ink droplets.

This is a process of entropy reduction, which, according to the first law of thermodynamics, is absolutely impossible to occur spontaneously and must be propelled by additional energy from the outside.

So, where does this energy come from?

Lawson's elemental control comes from the brain, and the first supplier of this energy is the brain. The energy of the brain is not obtained in a vacuum, it is all replenished by the blood.

Now, the energy consumption of the brain has increased dramatically, and the blood supply has increased instantly.

According to the second law of thermodynamics, in this process, the energy provided by the brain can never be 100% converted into effective energy, and it must be accompanied by additional energy consumption, and all energy expenditure will eventually be converted into heat.

As a result of Rosen's series of operations, his head became hot, as if he had a high fever. His body became short of breath in order to dissipate heat, and the whole person began to sweat profusely. In order to provide enough energy to the brain, the heartbeat accelerates wildly and begins to beat 'bang

It's like running a marathon.

But it doesn't end there,

Another side effect is that in order to supply energy to the brain, a large amount of blood is concentrated in the brain, and the body temperature rises greatly, causing the intracranial pressure to rise, and the consequence is a series of severe headaches.

All of this made it clear to Rosen that he was coming to a real world. In this world, the essence of all changes is the transformation of energy, and additional ability must be accompanied by additional effort.

He knew very well in his heart that if he exceeded his physical limit, his body temperature would definitely go out of control and his brain would be irreversibly damaged. But at the same time, he also knows that whether he can live or not depends on tonight's fight!

The intense headache almost drove Rosen crazy.

"Hold on! Hang on! Surviving in such a cruel otherworld is bound to be inhuman efforts! ”

"Vampire Viken, fuck @you!"

"Don't let me live, or I'll kill you!"

"Viken, ¥#......%¥"

Rosen cursed in his heart, he owes this field to this goddamn vampire. Even the crossing is related to this vampire, this broomstick star! Pretend to be a criminal! Blood-sucking animals!

Just when Rosen couldn't hold back and was about to faint, he vaguely saw a figure walk into the alchemy room.

An evil and mellow voice came: "Hmm~ full of the smell of wine, cold sweat all over the body, do you want to use wine to resist the fear in your heart?" Oh~~~Hehehe~~~ What a wise choice. ”

The tone is exactly the same as in the game, and Lawson now has a splitting headache, and he doesn't even have the heart to be afraid.

"Pretend to be a criminal! If I don't die, I'll kill you! ”
