Chapter 53: Fierce Poison
Lizzie originally thought that she was lucky today.
After a boring schoolwork, he stumbles upon Danfoss's whereabouts and eavesdrops on him and his club to discuss the "next step". At the same time, she also revealed the unusual movement of a person, which suggests that there may be some ulterior secret hidden in the basement of the art building.
The investigation made a lot of progress in one day, and Lizzie was still in a good mood. Although his face still looks tired and lacking interest in anything. However, if you pay attention, you can still see that her eyes that seem to be staring at people have softened a little.
It's just that this delicate good mood is quickly ruined.
This was Lizzie's apartment in the Academy, and the room that had been quite empty had been gradually filled with the equipment she had added during this time. Various items such as the practical equipment used for alchemy, the small pot for boiling potions, and the cutting tools used to process ore are scattered throughout the house
On the small table next to the two of them was a set of flasks, which also contained some residues that had not had time to be disposed of. The indescribable smell of these flasks slowly mixed together and then wafted into the air, and the smell of this smell made people feel that their sense of smell was paralyzed.
After deciding to put the basement aside for now, the two returned to Lizzie's dormitory and began to study the box of things that Curt had brought. The research had always been Lizzie's responsibility, and after a bit of upside down, it was left with an unrecognizable residue that was still contained in the flask set.
Lizzie had now changed into her usual civilian clothes and white clothes, and after a few days of not seeing them, there were many stains on the white clothes. With one hand on her waist and the other hand on the open glass test tube, she poked her head in front of Curt and said in an aggressive tone, "Do you know what this thing is?"
This clear glass test tube contained a few milliliters of purple-black liquid, which Lizzie had just spent a lot of effort extracting from the sample provided by Grostide. Now their appearance is very different from the original, and they are completely unrecognizable.
This test tube was given to Liqi by him earlier, and he naturally knew that the test tube was originally filled with the body fluid extract of the unidentified deceased who had appeared on the way that day. But now that it's a product of Liki's treatment, he doesn't know what it is.
The few remaining turbid solutions churned at the bottom of the tube, giving off an unbearable rancid smell that would make you sick to your stomach if you inhaled a little. The smell was familiar, and the monster that night had been wafting with it all the time.
In fact, in the previous examination, some of the fragments he had collected from the monster's body had also been extracted by Liqi with a liquid similar to the solution contained in this test tube, and they also had an unpleasant taste. However, if you want to compare, it is obvious that the inside of this test tube is much heavier.
The smell of these ingredients is so strong that even an old alchemist who often soaks in the pile of medicinal herbs may not be able to take it at ease. However, Lizzie did not hesitate to hold these things in her hands, but the expression on her face was a little unstable.
Curt knew that Lizzie's anger was not directed at him, and in fact Lizzie would not be angry with him for such a trivial matter. Of course, it wasn't because of the smell of the liquid, and though the stench was almost suffocating, Curt remembered that she had dealt with something worse than this.
"Uh...... I don't know" Looking at Liqi, who had clearly expressed a trace of unhappiness on her face, Curt scratched her face a little embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer Liqi's question, so he had to reluctantly guess the answer, "Could this be the original appearance of the toxin?"
This smell is exactly the same as the rotten smell of that monster, and it is difficult to erase it from memory. The extraction of the poison from the body fluids of the deceased, whose identity has not yet been identified, suggests that he died at the hands of a monster.
"This is not the original appearance of the toxin, it is a secondary product at best. Liqi's brows furrowed, and the result that had been cautious just now made her look unsatisfied, "The amount of remnants is too small, and I can't break it down further." ”
After speaking, she shook the small test tube, and the purple-black liquid contained in the test tube gradually produced some reactions under her operation of shaking faster and faster, and strings of bubbles bubbled out of the calm liquid one after another. Soon, its reaction became more violent, churning as if it were boiling over heat.
"First of all, we have to make one thing clear, the monster that day was not a naturally generated creature or monster, but a monster made by people out of various corpses and other materials. Lizzie began to explain the toxin to Curt, holding a test tube in one hand and a flask in the other, "Therefore, we can conclude that these 'monster bodily fluids' are naturally made by those people." ”
Lizzie spoke slowly, giving Curt plenty of time to record. Maybe Curt didn't necessarily need to know what the ingredients made up the toxin, but Grostide was still waiting for him to report the results, and if Lizzie said it too quickly, Curt would have a hard time recording the full text.
"And from a few of the samples you got, I've been able to extract similar toxic substances. So I think it's widely found all over that monster's body. ”
Halfway through speaking, she suddenly put the test tube in place and placed the flask in her other hand on the table next to her. There was already a column of the same flasks containing various samples. The samples that had been dissociated, burned, soaked and other processes in her hands also turned into various forms.
Lizzie pointed to the flasks and motioned for Curt to look at the remnants contained within, "Watch out for the contents of the flasks, especially the third from the left. I'm going to inject a percentage of mimetic plasma into it, and you can see how responsive they are. ”
Then, she took a packet of red solution from the shelf that looked like normal blood and poured it into the flask. But in the blink of an eye, the residue that seemed to be waste residue reacted, and a layer of what appeared to be oil spread in the mimic plasma.
A cursory glance shows that the "plasma" in different flasks reacts to different degrees. It is probably the table xiàn where the toxicity of different parts is also different, in which the fast changes are already darkened after a while, and the slow ones have almost no changes.
The only thing that was a little different was the third flask from the left that Lizzie brought to Curt's attention. After a moment of infusion of mimic plasma, Lizzie slowly turned into a deeper red color, but it didn't take long for it to suddenly regain its original blood color. Only occasionally it will suddenly darken, repeating the previous changes again.
"Like you said, this special toxin can inactivate the blood, which eventually leads to necrosis of the organs. However, it is not very responsive and does not kill immediately. Seeing Curt take out a notebook to record what she said, Lizzie spoke even more slowly, "Looking at the table of the third bottle, this toxin should have an incubation period, and it will only work quickly after a certain key condition reaches the contact point. ”
Despite this quality, it is quite violent once it is done. According to Lizzie's findings, this tube of 'secondary product' alone is enough to easily poison a healthy and strong adult male. If it was a toxin, a smaller dose would be enough to poison a large monster like Cave King Kong.
"The next step is the composition of this toxin, and from the results of the analysis just now, it seems that this tube of liquid contains at least four types of animal toxins and more than six types of plant toxins. There are some uncommon reptiles and poisonous weeds, and I'll give you a detailed list later. ”
As Curt watched, Lizzie began to explain the specific composition of the venom. According to her, this particular toxin is a combination of several toxic materials with different properties, and there may be several rarer materials in addition to those already identified by her.
Judging from the results of Liqi's extraction now, the toxin must be transformed into the properties of the original material through guò alchemy technology, and then mixed and boiled to fuse their ingredients. And in order to further strengthen the toxicity performance, it should have been condensed through several spells in the end.
The toxins were not manufactured by a purification process, which was clearly the use of ancient pharmaceutical methods. The maker didn't know for what purpose he had created such a toxic agent. If it is only used to poison humans, it will be too wasteful.
The human body is very fragile, if you just use toxins to kill a person, then you can easily choose to use a strong toxic poison that seals the throat with blood. There is no need to waste energy and time on a large number of precious materials to concoct poisons with special functions.
This special poison must have other effects.
"Miss Lizzie, Mr. Curt, are you in the house?" "The two people in the room were studying this never-before-seen toxin, when suddenly there was a knock on the door, "I'm Oscar, I have something I want to discuss with you here, can you open the door for me?"
Oscar usually speaks quite steadily, but now his tone is flustered and his words are a little slurred, so he should have something urgent to tell them. In desperation, Lizzie had no choice but to clean up the mess and ask Curt to open the door quickly.
Busy all his life, neither of them noticed that he had neglected a small thing because of a certain habit.
