Faced with the multiple-choice questions given by the boss,

Without any hesitation, Yi Chen took a step forward and stepped into the 'sister's room'.

Titicaca~

There was a strange pressing sensation on the soles of the shoes, and a strange sound was heard.

Because this foot stepped directly on the scales of the fish all over the ground.

At this moment,

Smell and sight at the same time, receive the "impact" from the room.

It was an almost solid stench, which burrowed into Yi Chen's body like a living stick, constantly beating his stomach.

between the field of view,

Patches of fish scales were piled up on the ground, and some of them had even taken root on the damp floor, as if the room had grown its own scales.

If it were Yi Chen, who had just come to this world, he would inevitably protest against the picture in front of him by 'vomiting'.

Quack~

Ten fingers on the side of the face,

Quickly weave out plant masks,

"Whew! I was finally able to breathe normally...... It's really unsettling here. ”

The sound came from the bathroom.

The boss seems to be doing some kind of 'treatment' on his sister, and a lot of blood is oozing through the crack in the door.

Before stepping into the bathroom,

Yi Chen tilted his head towards the corner of the room, noticing an important and special detail in the room.

In the corner is a desk made of logs.

The walls around the desk are covered with fish scales, and so is the floor.

The desk itself was kept clean in the midst of such filth, not a single fish scale, not even damp plaque.

It seems that the wooden table is very important to my sister, and she cleans it every day.

There were a few picture frames on the table.

This includes family photos, as well as photos of my sister and brother.

The younger sister in the photo has black curly hair, and it can be seen that she has an excellent relationship with her brother.

Such a picture was silently remembered by Yi Chen in his heart,

Crunch~

Turning around and pushing open the bathroom door,

A terrible picture came into view.

This bathroom is larger than the other rooms and has a bathtub.

My sister is lying inside the bathtub,

Her limbs were rigidly immobilized by the straps between the bathtubs,

Compared to last night's image,

My sister has become more 'human'...... To be exact, it should be that the scales on her body have been greatly reduced.

merely

These fleshy scales don't fall off on their own.

Instead, he was pulled out of his body by the boss piece by piece and scattered inside and outside the bathtub.

At this moment,

My sister's screams were already very small,

The pain was severe and accompanied by heavy bleeding, and life was lost along with it......

Hardly struggle anymore,

There was no trace of blood on the thin cheeks with fish gills.

At present, there are still fish scales on both sides of the abdomen that have not been pulled out, and there are more than 40 pieces visually, and the situation is not optimistic.

Before the boss could speak, Yi Chen spoke first.

"Boss,

Your sister is evolving towards the "third stage" of disease, right? The situation doesn't seem to be good, can you let me see? ”

This remark surprised the boss,

Unexpectedly, this young man, who had only been staying for more than a day, had already identified the pathogenesis stage of "ichthyosis".

Nod slightly, acquiescing.

Yi Chen carefully stuck to the bathtub,

Although he is not from a medical background and does not know much about it, the plants in his body can feel the passage of life.

"Boss, pull out all the remaining scales, won't you?"

"Hmm."

After getting the boss's consent,

Yi Chen gently placed his palm on his 'sister's abdomen and touched the surface of the fish scales.

Fresh and soft roots stick to the gaps between the scales and burrow under the skin.

The ends of the roots release a natural tissue fluid with therapeutic properties.

Then slowly and gently pick out the scales,

It reduces the amount of bleeding and is almost painless...... It's even a little itchy.

The only drawback is that the efficiency is slightly lower and the speed is slow.

Yi Chen not only carefully picked the fish scales on his abdomen,

At the same time, he also placed his other hand on the spot where his sister's body was bleeding profusely, and braided roots to stop the bleeding.

In the process,

The younger sister opened her dark jewel-like eyes and looked at the tenant in front of her.

The owner just stood by quietly.

Then

Little Grape's voice sounded in his consciousness.

"Hey! Do you know what you're doing?

What you have in front of you is a "sick and infected person",

Once she is allowed to molt, she will successfully overcome the infection process and become a perfect consciousness of the [patient].

This is the culprit that caused the world to be infected and ruined!

They will instinctively hate the non-infected, and their desires will drive them to invade and occupy your body.'"

"If they really wanted to do it, they would have done it last night.

And, since I stepped into the bathroom, the boss has had a lot of hands-on opportunities.

I don't quite understand what the world is all about.

I just integrate and analyze the information I have observed in front of me and the information that my brain has speculated to draw conclusions that are useful to me~ I think that [rescue] is necessary.

Once a relationship of mutual assistance can be established,

Maybe we can get some key clues from it, so that we can directly touch the truth of the town and the mastermind behind it, and pass the organization's assessment with a high score."

"I wonder if you're a creature of this world,

Your actions are likely to provoke some human resentment...... It's interesting, though.'"

Little Grape didn't say much, silently observing the boss's every move.

That's it

Like a major operation,

Eight hours passed until the last scale was pulled out of the body by the roots.

It was already noon the next day,

Bang blah blah blah blah~

The boss unscrewed the tap in the bathtub and soaked his sister in it.

When she wakes up again, she will be completely the 'sick' in the mouth of Little Grape.

At this moment,

One of the boss's hands fell lightly on Yi Chen's shoulder.

The latter was still slightly alert and habitually reached for the hand axe.

however

Just a simple thanks.

"Thank you, Mr. William."

"It's okay...... I volunteered to help. ”

"You can go back to your room and rest,

I'll make sure you don't have any trouble coming your way during the break. By the time you wake up, it's probably night...... When the time comes, you will come directly to the first floor for dinner. ”

Yi Chen made an OK gesture and turned to leave.

When I go back to my room,

The tiredness had made him completely unbearable.

The little grape took the initiative to separate and make the appearance of guarding the gate.

"Go to sleep, I've slept enough inside you.

Don't exhaust yourself,

If the siblings really give useful information and are even willing to help, maybe we can get super big eyes. ”

however

Yi Chen was just leaning on the head of the bed, he was still worried about one thing,

"As soon as tonight is over, the final countdown to the assessment will be ushered in.

Even tonight will not be peaceful.

As soon as the sun sets, remember to wake me up. ”

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and go to bed!"

Little Grape is like a security uncle,

Move the wooden chair to the head of the bed and sit upright.

……

This sleep is the most restful sleep Yi Chen has had since he came to Green Lake Town.

Maybe it's because of the effects of plants in the body,

When the sun sets and photosynthesis stops, it wakes up naturally.

Open your eyes,

The field of vision is completely squeezed by a large mouth,

Black hair is all over the mouth,

An eye in his mouth was almost 'eye-to-eye' at him,

A strange sound with multiple vocal cords coming from the mouth,

"Are you awake?"

"Little grape, don't be scary!"

Put on your clothes,

Bring gear,

When I opened the door of the guest room, the candlelight in the hallway was gone, and all the candles had been cleared, leaving only darkness that could not be seen.

Light the kerosene lamp around your waist,

Keep your pace as low as you can and head towards the first floor.

Just walked down the stairs,

A scent rushed into the nasal cavity,

Following the smell, I looked at the guest room next to the counter on the first floor.

The door was ajar, and the candlelight was through.

Yi Chen leaned against the wall and leaned towards the door, quietly peeking inside the door.

The interior of the guest room is arranged in the style of a restaurant.

The round wooden table is filled with a variety of fish and soups.

In addition to the boss,

There was also a dark-haired woman sitting,

A light white dress covers the body that has not yet healed,

She seemed to smell the 'peculiar smell' of the doorway, and turned the young girl's face to the door.

The gill structure on its cheeks is gone, and it looks indistinguishable from a normal person.

"Mr. William, come and eat~"
