Volume 1 Mr. Engineer and Miss Mercenary Chapter 10 Treatment
The mercenary's decision was a surprise to people, and before they could react to it, she was already saying what she needed.
"This clear, I'm going to get one of my Fili here." "And she'll tell you what you need to do and what you're paying attention to." ”
The mercenary quickly stepped aside and took out a stone from her bag, which she continued to say as she added some kind of magic to it, "This stone will be used as a location, and my companions will use this stone as a coordinate point to teleport over. But she doesn't have access to the exact location of your base, so don't worry. ”
She placed the stone on the ground, took two steps back, and then turned her head to look at Hua Shao.
"If you have any comments, please let them know now."
At this time, the people in the medical room reacted, but found that there seemed to be nothing to give any advice - if the mercenary companions were not allowed to come here, then there would be no way to rescue Shao, so all they could do was cooperate.
Reins reached into her bag again, and this time she pulled out a bottle containing gray roses. She handed the bottle to Hua Shao.
"Eating it will enhance your body's ability in a short period of time so that you won't be unable to receive treatment."
Hua Shao blinked and took it in a rather well-behaved and obedient manner. Reins, on the other hand, began to contact her companions. A water mirror gathered in front of her, and she let a certain being in her soul breathe to touch it, and then she spoke in a commanding tone.
"Ella, respond to me."
The water mirror rippled slightly, and it gradually emerged as the face of a called woman.
"Oh! Rhine! Her eyes widened, "Is something wrong?" I'll go over now—"
"The venom of the soul wounding beast is cleared for two months, and the pollution level does not exceed 80%."
Reins's words stunned Ella for a moment, but she didn't raise any objections.
"Roger, arrive in 5 minutes."
The water mirror disappeared into thin air. Reins looked at Hua Shao again, and the other party was also looking at her, still chewing on gray petals in her mouth. She walked over to check on the other man's condition, then sat down on the edge of the bed and began to close her eyes and recall the specific steps to be taken for a moment. No one dared to disturb her, but no one dared to leave without permission.
Jura sat on a stool beside her bed, staring at Rheins with her cheeks crossed; Gale looked at the stone with some nervousness, as if he wasn't sure what attitude he should take towards the increasing number of mercenaries; Huck lay on the other side of the bed and looked at Shao with some excitement and expectation, perhaps happy that his best friend could finally recover; The dark-green-haired boy took a piece of paper and folded paper airplanes; Iloh stood in the corner of the room with a gloomy face, looking like he was thinking about something.
Apaya leaned against the window, looking at the room with some blankness. He wanted to take his notebook and continue thinking about the mechanical problems, but for the first time, even engineering couldn't distract him. He always had a feeling as if he had lost something. He subconsciously looked at the mercenary, and since just now, the other party has never given him any attention. He could sense that this time was different from any of the previous ones, but he couldn't figure out what was going on. But he hated the feeling of emptiness in his heart now, so after Shao recovered, he had to find a way to ask.
A silver-gray magic circle suddenly unfolded around the stone, which startled the dark green-haired boy - the place where he stayed was next to the magic circle. He took two steps back to the side, making sure that the magic circle wouldn't envelop himself before he stopped. Reins looked at the young man, and if she was not mistaken, the young man was one of the leaders of Morfi, Nado Gulla.
In this way, out of the five families, there are now four leaders here, plus a "brain". If there was any attack on this room now, Morphy's trauma must have been extraordinary.
Reins looked at the woman who came out of the magic circle and sighed helplessly.
"Rhine, do you have to greet me with a sigh?" The other complained, "Coming to the family's base makes me feel bad in itself, and your sigh makes me think that something even more unpleasant will happen next." ”
"Stop your crow's mouth." Rhines said angrily, it was already a risky thing, which made Ella feel even more ominous when she said it, "You can explain what we are going to do next, and what she needs to pay attention to." ”
Ella looked at her innocently, then at the person in the hospital bed, and then her eyes widened slightly.
"Oh...... No wonder you have to do it yourself. ”
Ella touched her chin and looked back and forth at Hua Shao and Reins, while the two parties looked at her suspiciously, which puzzled her, but she decided to ask questions later.
"Well, since Rhine wants to come by himself, I'll tell you the specific situation." Ella sat happily on the edge of the bed with a long cigarette stick, and her sitting posture even made her clothes more revealing, "I won't talk about anything that has nothing to do with your own situation, the main principle of this treatment is that Rhine wants to use her own blood into your body, help you get rid of those toxins, and then throw them out." ”
Hua Shao looked at her stunned, and her expression amused Ella.
"Okay, don't do that, I just want to make this matter simpler, don't scare you." Ella continued lightly, "For other people, this treatment is risky enough because they don't have the control to do it. But you don't have to worry about Rhine, she will definitely not be in this kind of situation that only novices can appear. Actually, your only risk is that she leaves your body after she has cleared the toxin. ”
Ella let her expression return to seriousness and looked at Hua Shao seriously.
"In this last process, not everyone will have that risk, but just in case, I have to emphasize it to you." Ella tapped her cigarette stick and looked at Hua Shao's expression carefully, "Blood can carry thoughts, so when it enters your body, it may resonate with your blood in some way, causing you to both see each other's memories." ”
"All the memories?"
"No, of course not." Ella pondered the words she should use, "It's the soul that really holds the memory, so you can only see a fraction of the fragments that are lost in your blood. But—no, that's not what I'm talking about. If you don't have the toxin in your blood, it doesn't matter if you see each other's memory fragments, as the fragments won't mess up your own memories. But once the blood starts to carry toxins, you should never look at the debris again. ”
Ella cleared her throat and reached out and nodded her head gently.
"Toxins don't just happen there, they have a consciousness of their own, yes." Seeing Hua Shao's uncomfortable expression, she nodded, "Although that's not clear, when your mind has the idea of 'wanting to see those memory fragments', it is equivalent to you retaining the blood of the Rhine, and the toxins that are forcibly taken away will also think that they have the permission of the host, and then they will start attacking the Rhine." Whereas...... I think Rhine told you that the attacks of the Soul Wounding Beasts can cause damage to the soul, even their toxins. ”
Hua Shao couldn't help but cover her mouth, she didn't want to bring any harm to Rhines because of her, not only because the mercenary was unusual for her best friend, but more importantly, she wanted to get close to the mercenary from the bottom of her heart.
"So, keep in mind, this young lady." Ella raised her index finger as if she was lecturing, dangling it from side to side in front of Hua Shao's eyes, "You may see more than just fragments of the Rhine, the appearance of such fragments is mutual, and therefore it may also be your own memory. But just in case, don't want to look at those memory fragments. The human subconscious may make you unable to control your own thoughts at the beginning, but you should never continue after that. This will cause the toxins to wake up completely and become aggressive. By the way – your name is Hua Shao, right? ”
The Mentor nodded, and Ella looked around the room.
"There are a lot of people, so it's easy to get distracted, which is not good." Ella tapped the side of the bed with her cigarette stick, "Let me see...... The white-haired gentleman and the golden-haired gentleman can stay, and the rest of the people will go out. ”
They didn't move, just looked at her a little bewildered, and Ella smacked her lips in dissatisfaction, stood up and brandished her cigarette stick and began to chase people away.
"So, what are you waiting for? If you go out one second earlier, this young lady's treatment can start one second earlier, hurry up, let me out. Go. Go. ”
Perhaps this was their rare experience of being kicked out of the house – and in their own home base. Except for those who remained in the ward, the others looked at each other and decided to stand by at the door of the ward in case there were any accidents.
In the hospital room, Ella took out a few stones from Rhine's bag and placed them around the bed one by one.
"It's to erect an enchantment." She explained to Hua Shao, "No one can guarantee that there will be no accidents, at least this can ensure that you will not be affected in the first place." ”
Reinth sat on the edge of the bed, bored as she watched Ella fiddle with the stones. Actually, they were supposed to be props for inputting mana or placing enchantments, but—every Fili thought it would be more convenient to call them pebbles, since they looked like pebbles.
"Are you nervous?" She suddenly turned her head and asked Hua Shao, "I'm going to cut your arteries in a while, otherwise my blood won't be able to enter your body." ”
The woman just smiled shallowly.
"I believe in you."
Hua Shao's words made Rhines stunned, and before she could react again, Ella had already declared the success of the enchantment.
"Alright, you can get started." She sat back on the edge of the bed, "I'll be monitoring your movements, and if something goes wrong, I'll intervene, so don't worry." That white-haired boy over there, don't show your teeth and claws there, what Rhine said about cutting arteries is different from what you think, let me watch quietly there. ”
Huck glared at Ella from outside the barrier, and Reins allowed herself to gaze into Hua Shao's dark eyes, her fingers beginning to condense a bright red glow against the other's wrists.
"You have to trust me." "If we can't trust each other, then your body will reject my blood." ”
Hua Shao nodded, and then she couldn't help but reach out her other hand and touch the top of Reines's head. Reins stared at her with wide eyes, as if she were some man-eating monster.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Hua Shao smiled embarrassedly, "I'm just...... Well, suddenly I wanted to do it. ”
Ella covered her mouth and snickered beside her, and Reins, as if in revenge, slashed her fingers at Hua Shao's wrists, including her own, without notice—causing Hua Shao to gasp.
Reins smirked at her.
