Chapter 55 Emergency Response
The person who was talking normally a few seconds ago suddenly fell, and no one was calm. When Oscar froze in the middle of speaking, the two didn't react. Seeing that his body shook a little, and then his center of gravity was unstable and his shoulders fell to the ground, they couldn't help but get nervous.
Even Curt, who usually doesn't seem to care about anything, is now serious, crouching next to Oscar, who is lying on the floor of the house, constantly shaking his shoulders while shouting, "Hey, Oscar, Oscar!"
Liki, who was standing a little further back, snorted, and she took two quick steps to open the door of the room that had been locked by Oscar a moment before she entered. Suddenly, a light blue smoke poured out of the door along with the mixed smell, and hit Lizzie's face directly.
That's where the smell that makes Oscar wonder wafts from. The samples in the flask reacted when injected into the mimetic plasma by Lizzie, and while Lizzie left them aside, the volatile gases drifted into the air and then gradually underwent some kind of change.
Before the smoke had spread, Lizzie hurriedly took out a large test tube from her hand. The test tube made of glass-like material spreads a chill outside, and as Lizzie infuses her magic, the smoke wafts out of it and is inhaled into it and transformed into liquid in one breath.
After a while, the last bit of smoke was also absorbed by the test tube, and Lizzie immediately sealed it, then turned to Curt and said, "Don't get in the way, let me take a look." ā
She knew that she couldn't see anything at Curt's level, so she didn't hide her impatience at all. She waved Curt aside as if she were sweeping through a large obstacle so that she could stand in Curt's position and check on Oscar's condition.
"What's going on with him...... Could it be that he is sick?" Curt spoke in a tone that changed from his usual frivolity, and even looked at Lizzie, who was groaning, with a little more urgency.
On almost all levels of knowledge other than combat, Curt has an overwhelming disadvantage over Billy. He knew his shortcomings, so he would only now let Lizzie do a detailed physical examination of Oscar. It would be more effective to leave all the work to her than to let him do a superficial examination.
As the minutes passed, the situation got worse and worse.
As Lizzie intently examined Oscar's body, Oscar's heat increased even further, and it didn't take long for her consciousness to become blurry. He seemed to have some mobility before, but now his weak body made it difficult for him to move even a finger.
Oscar, who was lying on the ground, was vaguely **, his breathing, which had eased a lot, became short, and his body temperature gradually increased at an abnormal degree. Beads of sweat that had dissipated before resurfaced, large drops of sweat running down his bloodless pale cheeks.
"No, he's not sick. Lizzie calmly looked at Oscar, who was getting weaker, and gave an answer that Curt hadn't expected, "Although the symptoms look similar to a common cold, he must have been poisoned - and we should be the culprit for his poisoning." ā
Faced with Lizzie's answer, Curt was really confused, he shook his head, pointed to Oscar who fell to the ground, and said, "He was poisoned......? Could it be that what we just investigated could be transmitted through the air?"
Looking at Curt, who was still confused, Lizzie nodded silently. However, she did not directly answer Curt's doubts, but lifted Oscar's clothes.
When he arrived, the two noticed that he had clearly new injuries on his body, which he explained at the time was caused by an accidental fall in exercise class. Now that I see his body directly, I can see that there are still many scars on his chest and abdomen, which are not left by "falling".
Regardless of how the scars were left behind, the priority now is his poisoning.
It didn't take Liqi to explain that Curt noticed that the most striking thing about Oscar's body was not the recent scars, but the purple-black spots that appeared around some of the cracked scars. The color of these spots gradually deepens, and there is a tendency to spread to the surrounding area.
The distinctive color is still fresh in people's minds, and the few samples Curt took from the monster had a similar purple-black glow, and the color was even clearer in the residue that Lizzie had treated. Suddenly, these corpse-like traces on Oscar's body made Curt have bad associations.
Although the expression on Liqi's face was still smiling, there was no trace of a smile in her eyes: "It seems that we have lived with people for too long, and we have both almost forgotten what we are." Toxin vapors, which are basically harmless to us, can cause harm to the human body even if they are diffused in the air. ā
Curt chose a room in the dormitory for both economics and secrecy, and chose a room with no windows in the hall, so the ventilation of this room was not very good. Lizzie had used a spell to clean up most of the exhaust gas, but some of the remaining poisonous gas was still left in the house.
"The exhaust gases in the air mix and react, creating a new toxin. Lizzie's fingers ran over several wounds and said, "This toxin waved in the air, reached a certain density and infected the wound, you look here and here, all of them are near the wound before there are traces of infection." ā
The toxins infected the wound and then penetrated into Oscar's body through the wound, gradually eroding him - which is why he fell.
"Well, there's no point in pursuing these inconsequential things now, is it?" After a sigh, Lizzie commanded Curt, "You can dispose of his body casually, and then go to the tube of white potion in my medicine box and pour it into his mouth." I'm going to reconcile the antidote now. ā
Then, without saying a word, she lit the alcohol lamp in her hand, placed it under a small crucible, and slowly heated the alchemical materials needed to reconcile and detoxify the antidote. Looking at Lizzie who was in this state, Curt knew that she couldn't listen to anything for the time being, so she had to obediently follow her instructions.
The jobs assigned to Curt by Lizzie are all simple physical tasks, and taking care of a delirious teenager is too easy for him. He was going to move Oscar to bed, but he thought about it and gave up - the idea was good, but unfortunately it was difficult to implement.
There was only one single bed in the room that belonged to Lizzie, and it was impossible to fit the small camp bed that Lizzie had bought for Oscar's size. In desperation, he took out a few cushions to form a makeshift "bed" and placed Oscar's toxin-eroded body on it.
Simply disposing of Oscar, Curt opened her medicine box as Lizzie asked. In the small boxes cluttered with dried herbs and potions, the tube of white potions designated by her could be seen at a glance. It was placed in the far corner, and the nozzle was firmly sealed with several layers of tape.
This tube of white potion was one of several tubes that Liggie had made a long time ago when Curt had taken a bunch of alchemy materials and then mixed them herself. Now the potions that have been blended with it have all been used by Liqi for the real yĆ n, leaving it alone sealed in the zĆ i medicine box.
It is possible that it was affected by the material, and it is not known which material was used, but the agent remained warm at room temperature, and there were many water droplets on the wall of the well-sealed pipe. The test tube was taken out of the medicine box, and the slightly hot temperature immediately passed through the glass tube wall to Curt's hand.
Although she didn't know the potion potion effect, Curt knew that since Lizzie asked him to pour it into Oscar, it must have her own considerations. So without much thought, Curt opened the test tube that was wrapped and sealed layer by layer.
Almost as soon as the test tube opened, he understood why Lizzie was using the word "pour" - an extremely strong smell wafted from the test tube he had opened. It smells good enough to keep anyone in their mouth when they're conscious.
Is this tube really okay?
Even believing in Lizzie's technique, Curt couldn't help but look at the potion with a puzzled eye. The opaque milky white liquid is still emitting strong heat outward, and if you just look at its appearance, it is no different from ordinary hot milk, except for the smell......
I really want people to shy away.
"Don't think about it so much, I don't want you to drink it anyway. Just pour it on him. Liqi, who was mixing the antidote on the side, glanced at Curt, who was still hesitating, "Although this tube doesn't smell right, the effect is still guaranteed." ā
With that said, Lizzie once again threw herself into the work of concocting the antidote. In front of her was a crucible heated by an alcohol lamp, containing some slimy, glowing emerald green fluid. Seeing this disgusting color, Curt almost froze.
He felt that what Lizzie was working on was more suspicious than the potion in his hand, the color that seemed to be poisonous just by looking at it. The shapeless green objects bubbled suspiciously under Lizzie's careful stirring, and the tip of the stirring rod was still pulling sticky wires.
If there is a slight chance of redemption, it may be that the pot that Lizzie is stirring now does not know how to describe it, and it smells good. The faint scent of grass and lemon came out of the pile of green fluid, and it was hard to describe it.
It looks normal, but it smells a little strange, or it looks shocking and smells good. If you had to choose one of these two potions, which one would you choose? Unfortunately, Oscar, who was lying on the ground, had no choice, he had to drink both.
