Chapter Ninety-Three: The Poisonous Blade
readx;
Fei De and his party were ushered into a small room next to Ayana's hospital room, which had no windows, and judging by the furnishings in the room, it was supposed to be a utility room. www.biquge.info A bed with some clothes and personal items was placed in the middle of the room, and Fed had already guessed that this was the bedroom that Ligu had prepared to watch over Ayana day and night.
"What smell..."Squadron Leader Jasmine covered his mouth and nose with five slender fingers, the musty smell and "manliness" in the room mixed together, and the unventilated environment made the female mercenary with an Adam's apple very uncomfortable.
"Oh, just bear with me, you wouldn't want to stand outside anyway. Instead of looking back, Ligu walked straight to the multi-layered wooden shelves behind the bed.
It took them a total of ten minutes to get in from the fast track to the hospital, one of which was spent on the fast lane, and the rest of the time was crammed into the hospital aisles. The leaders of the mercenary regiments, large and small, in the city were all taken to the hospital, and even the leaders who were lucky not to be injured immediately rushed over to see what was going on with their counterparts. Ayana's room was next door, it was separate and spacious, and it had a few windows, but everyone knew that Fei De would not allow them to stand there and disturb Captain Ayana's rest.
"That's it! The first regimental commander to be sent here today has been killed, and he was not killed by a sharp weapon with a slit throat, but tortured to death by the poison on it, you have to be very, very careful when you see it. Only then did everyone notice that Ligu had filled the two vacant front teeth with gold, and that he would not leak his words, and it seemed that the 200,000 gold coins had made everyone a lot richer.
Patrick took the initiative to take the rectangular wooden box, which had a thin glass lid on top of it, and under the transparent lid lay a plain-looking dagger with the mark of the rebels, a hammer chiseled into a crown.
Luka, Selena, Jasmine, and Fidel all gathered around, and there was no liquid to be seen next to the dagger, presumably the poison on the dagger had been applied very evenly. Such a poisonous dagger is more terrifying than the fangs of a poisonous snake, and it is like a poisonous snake with poisonous skin.
Selena flipped the glass lid open, and Jasmine immediately covered her mouth and nose a little tighter, for fear that the poisonous dagger would emit a poisonous gas.
"Don't be afraid, it doesn't emit poisonous gas, and if it does, we'll all be dead," Ligoo's front teeth were filled, and his temperament and speech fluency improved a lot, "You won't be fine even if you touch the blade of the dagger, because it only has an effect on blood." Ligu's words made Fidel and his party realize that the poison on this dagger was not aimed at human skin, but rather killed those who were cut by it.
Lukka looked at the mercenary doctor Ligu sitting on the edge of the bed and asked, "All the leaders of the mercenary regiments who were attacked by the assassins were attacked by this poisonous dagger, right? ”
Ligu snorted and said, "Although this is not the only one, don't underestimate me, I am already familiar with this hospital, and this dagger..."
"How's this dagger going?"
"It is said that each of the Assassins did not take the poisonous murder weapon they used, as if they were deliberately trying to leave it on the scene so that the entire city of Dumu knew that the rebels were going to kill all the mercenary captains. ”
Several captains frowned, their potato mercenary group, as the leading mercenary group in Dumu City now, did not encounter an assassin attack, and this situation seemed to be lucky. But from another point of view, would the people of the other mercenary groups think that the potato mercenary group has "privileges"? Even the rebels are open to the Fidel? This idea appeared in the minds of several captains, and Selena thought even further. She knew that the Potato Mercenary Regiment had openly besieged the members of the Rebels in the Iron Ore Mountains and had killed the Rebels' cadres. Now the rebels are showing no mercy to anyone, and they just put Fid out of the incident, is it to let outsiders have the illusion that there is some private agreement between the rebels and the potato mercenary group?
Selena's thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and she thought of far more intrigues than Jasmine and Luca, and I don't know if it was because she was already very delicate, or because she was prone to overthinking and imaginative.
Luca said: "Captain Feide, I don't think those rebel assassins don't want to kill you, it's just that the mercenary group in the entire Dumu City is only our mercenary group has strengthened its vigilance, and those rebel assassins have no chance to take advantage of it, so we still have to be more vigilant..."
"Yes, if they can't find Captain Fid and go to us squadron leaders, it's better to be careful!" Squadron Leader Jasmine chimed in.
Whether it was intentional or because it was too heavily guarded to do so, the answer to this question is not yet certain. Now that Ayana and other subordinates have not been attacked, and the poisonous blades left behind by the rebels are also in their hands, it has become easier to protect themselves.
"Let's go see the wounded and dead first. Fidel closed the lid and handed it back to Ligu.
"I'd like to tell you about the poison on it," Ligu looked at the dagger's eyes glowing, "I guess Winotki wouldn't have guessed what poison was smeared on it, even if she was a girl who dealt with poisonous snakes." "Winotki stayed at the mercenary's quarters, and maybe she'd come as soon as she heard the news.
The group followed Ligu out of the small room, and Feder walked to the door of Ayana's room, where he found it locked, and when he asked, he learned that it was Ligu, so he followed the others to the place where the body was placed.
The group went to one of the rooms where the corpse was kept, and there was a bed with a white cloth covering a corpse, which Ligu said was the corpse of a male mercenary leader, and found his youngest son of three years old instead of his subordinates.
"Come, don't be scared!" Before he could finish his words, he lifted the white cloth covering the corpse!
Jasmine was almost stunned, and she fell backwards pretending to be a lady when she was frightened, but the others stared at the corpse in amazement, and no one paid any attention to her.
"Is this the result of being cut by that poison blade?" Lukka pointed to the horrific corpse, "Captain Ligu, are you sure this man wasn't tortured to death?!"
Fei De didn't look away, the corpse in front of him seemed to have countless scars, each scar was shallow or deep, but the skin was rotten and the flesh turned out. It is like using a knife and saw to cut a hole in various parts of the deceased, and then using a carved knife to carve a pattern on the edge of the flesh. The entire corpse was basically shrouded in open wounds, and less than half of the skin was intact.
"These wounds are kind of like... Blooming flowers..."Selena didn't know what she was talking about, but her imagination had already blurted out before her.
Even Patrick, a champion fighter who was accustomed to wounds, struggled to swallow, and it was only after listening to Ligu's explanation that he realized how deadly the dagger was to himself.
"You see," said Ligu, who had somehow brought a small wooden stick, as thin as the handle of a spoon, "here, and here, and here, all mortally wounded, and here the place where the dagger cut. The fatal wounds pointed out by Ligu were the largest blooming "petals", mostly long and round. All that remained was crimson flesh and that no blood could be seen coming out of them, and Ligu told the group that they had died from blood loss, which was why he called mortal wounds.
"If that not deep wound is the wound cut by the poisonous blade, why do these places have skin and flesh open?"
"That's thanks to the poison. Ligu put down the small wooden stick and took the poisonous blade out of the long wooden box, the dagger, which was less than twenty centimeters in the handle, had already been grasped by Ligu, and everyone subconsciously took a step back. "Don't be afraid, I won't use it to attack," Ligu gripped the dagger, and stabbed the corpse in the shoulder, "Look." ”
There was nothing unusual about the wound that had just been cut, but after half a minute, the shallow cut slowly opened outward, as if countless ants were standing on both sides of the wound, grabbing the flesh and tearing it in the opposite direction. The speed of each ant is different, and in the end it becomes like other wounds, like the petals of a blooming flower.
"It's terrible," Lukka let out a long sigh, and Selena, who was standing next to him, had begun to substitute this horrific encounter onto herself, fantasizing about a certain part of her body "blooming".
Fylde walked over to the corpse and crouched on the cut shoulder, where he found a scar next to the wound that was not easy to spot, except that it was only a faint scar that had been left years ago, but had turned out to be intact skin.
"Don't be afraid to tell me the truth," Ligu put the dagger back, and the middle-aged man of medium stature finally waited for the other captains to look at him expectantly, and he paused for a long time before he said, "The poison on this poisonous blade can make the wounded 'relapse' of old diseases, and make the injured re-experience the pain of those wounds caused in the past, and the pain that arises at the same time. ”
When Patrick heard this, he was already holding his hand down on the scar on his body. There are countless scars left by all the scars left in his martial arts career, and if he were to feel these countless injuries again in half a minute, it would probably be the most painful.
"Once an unwounded person is cut by this dagger, then only the cut wound will become like this, and it will be difficult for that person to die, but if that person has had twenty scars in forty years of life, then all twenty scars will be split at the same time, and the pain that caused the scars will fall on the wounded person again, so that the pain that the person has suffered will return to this world at the same moment and 'bloom' to him together." Ligu also tried to form a sentence with Selena's metaphor.
The mercenary doctor's words couldn't be more concrete, except for Fed, who recalled the scars on his body for the first time, only Feder was thinking about Ayana who was tortured to a serious injury, her body was left with multiple scars, and there were deep, deep scars on her abdomen.
