Chapter 127 Roots
"What did you say?"
Shihui was a little bit unbelievable, and the hand that was originally caressing Ou Lei's waist suddenly grabbed it hard, causing her to jump up in pain.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
Ou Lei rolled back and forth on the bed in pain, squirming all over.
Yi Ke ignored her and continued to say anxiously: "I don't know what's wrong with her. Her body is twitching unnaturally. Ms. Lixia asked me to come over and call you. Her life will be in danger at any time if we deal with her!"
"I understand..." Although Shihui was confused, he still got out of bed and followed him out.
The two of them quickly came to the next room and saw the female witcher Roz lying on the sofa, twitching slightly. She was still muttering and her eyes kept rolling up.
Lixia and the rescued woman were squatting anxiously beside Roots. One of them was holding a basin of water while the other was wiping his face with a wet towel, but it didn't work at all.
Shihui glanced around the room, and her gaze stopped at the little girl sleeping soundly on the bed, then she looked away. Although the light in the room was dim, she still had a feeling that she had seen the girl somewhere.
She retracted her gaze and turned to look at Lixia who was taking good care of her in front of the sofa, and asked:
"When did it start?"
Seeing the lime coming, Lixia, who was originally in a panic, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. After putting the wet towel in her hand into the basin, she stood up and responded: "It was when we just woke up..."
"To be honest, we don't know how long we slept. When we woke up, it was still dark outside. When I was about to get up to go to the bathroom, Ms. Roz started twitching non-stop, muttering incomprehensible things like 'she's mine!'"
Having said that, she looked at the unconscious Roz with a sigh in her eyes. She stroked her cheek and spoke again: "To be honest, this kind of madness is very common, but it is very troublesome and complicated to treat. It requires those bird-beaked doctors to use various medical tools to perform craniotomy..."
'What kind of expression is that? Is she deep in thought or weighing the pros and cons? There's no trace of worry or anxiety on her face. What an unpredictable woman.'
Lixia looked at the silent Shihui with a slight movement of her eyes. She would not be surprised even if she spoke up and threw the other party out of the car. After all, it would be difficult for this woman to care about unimportant people, but she also didn't want to offend the other party.
She spoke again, explaining with a somewhat aggrieved voice: "Because I really didn't know what to do, I dared to ask Miss Yiko to call you over. Only you can treat her. I hope this virus is not contagious..."
In this relatively backward era, the virus transmission rate was extremely high, which made many people susceptible to various diseases and brain diseases. Even some of the nobles were prone to illness.
Shihui spoke after a moment: "It's okay, we always have to check the patient's condition first..."
Lixia nodded repeatedly: "Then come and see, she is like a furnace now, the temperature is scary."
"A fever? That shouldn't happen..."
Shihui was very confused. Although Lixia said a lot, it was almost the same as saying nothing. If someone in this era performed a craniotomy on her, she would probably die or become a mentally retarded person.
What's more, the other party is a demon hunter, whose physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary people, and it is even more impossible for him to be invaded and infected by those viruses. The strangeness of this made her start to doubt.
"Was it tampered with, or was it also invaded by that monster? Oh right! The monster hasn't been found yet!"
Thinking of this, a light bulb went off in her head. The monster that cast the spell has not been found yet, which is the most important issue. She had just woken up not long ago, so her brain was a bit confused. After listening to Mambo's talk about a lot of knowledge, she had forgotten about this matter.
"The most urgent thing is to notify the six Hell Knights to check all the carriages first. It would be bad if they were hiding inside the train, using Roots as bait and waiting for an opportunity to strike."
A dark purple light flashed in Lime's eyes, and he quickly gave orders to the Hell Knight.
The Hell Knights inside and outside the carriage had flames burning in their eyes as they merged into the shadows and began to inspect the entire train, even checking under the beds and in the toilets.
"Or maybe it's her..."
Shihui walked to the sofa and squatted down. She lowered her head and carefully observed Roz in front of her, with an imperceptible murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
After a moment, he reached out and placed his hand on the other's forehead. At this moment, Roots's head was extremely hot, just like an overloaded machine, causing his brain to be completely paralyzed and feverish.
"The temperature is incredibly high. No wonder he's talking nonsense. If he doesn't cool down, his brain will probably be cooked."
Lime raised her index finger, and a thin layer of frost quickly formed on it. She touched Roz's head lightly, and a very thin layer of ice condensed on his forehead.
-1 Health
Due to the magic backlash in the dream and the incoordination of her abilities, she did not dare to overuse frost. If she used too much force, it was possible that Rotz would be turned into a popsicle.
The thin layer of frost on Roz's forehead did not melt. Instead, it circled around her head like a headband, and a lot of hot air kept coming out of it.
She originally had a ferocious and uncomfortable expression, but now she calmed down a little, and even the sound of her nonsense gradually became smaller.
Shihui gently shook her index finger. Perhaps because the magic she used was particularly mild, she did not suffer serious backlash.
"The sick magic that consumes a day's lifespan only makes my fingers feel slightly frozen. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. After all, the backlash from magic is getting stronger as my cultivation level increases. I wonder how serious the backlash I'd suffer in real life would be..."
As for Lixia and the other two, they were all shocked after seeing this magical scene, and their eyes were full of curiosity about this strange ice ring.
He only recovered after hearing Shime speak.
"The condition has stabilized, you don't have to worry anymore."
"You are really amazing! It's hard to imagine how you did it..."
"It's just some ordinary tricks, nothing more."
Faced with Lixia's temptation, Shihui interrupted her without hesitation and continued to ask questions.
Lixia also knew what to do and shut up and stopped asking questions. She just stared at her with a more meaningful look, and the corners of her mouth that were raised were pushed back again.
Shime noticed the slight change in the other person's expression from the corner of his eye, but did not say anything. He just continued to observe Roz and began to suspect something in his heart.
"This woman doesn't seem to be very honest, and she's a bit troublesome. But she's the wife of a wealthy merchant in Helm Harbor, so I could definitely use this opportunity to get a ship from her. As long as it doesn't cause any trouble for me, I'd better not kill her."
Shihui knew that the more unique and transcendent he was, the greater the chances of being suspected and speculated about in this world. Now they were only able to live in harmony because they were using each other. If a problem arose, the other party might betray him.
Especially when she learned from Mambo that only nobles could use certain transcendent powers, she was reminded of this even more.
Before, Lime was like a rabbit moving among wolves, constantly demonstrating his abilities. Fortunately, all the wolves were dead, otherwise it would have brought even greater trouble.
But it is often like this, benefits are bound to be accompanied by risks. As long as you want to get it, you are bound to suffer losses, and betrayal is commonplace.
"Being loyal and keeping quiet is what matters most..."
For Shihui, the only people he can trust are Olena, Annie, and Iko, whom he brought out from the village. As for the rest of them, they behaved themselves after witnessing the absolute power.
After all, when the other demon hunters were slaughtered in the tree house, there wasn't even a trace of fear in Lixia's eyes.
This just shows how scheming and cruel the other party is. I'm afraid his cruelty is no less than that of lime.
At this moment, Roz, who was in a coma, started talking nonsense again. She kept muttering, as if someone was forcing her in her dream.
"No...no...no...I don't want to...don't take that kind of thing..."
Roz clutched the quilt tightly, his face full of resistance and pain, and he seemed unable to get rid of it.
"This is strange. Could it really be her doing?"
'Eye! '
Golden light flashed in Shihui's eyes, and everything around him began to transcend, and all colors turned into black and white and line drawings.
'What is that?!'
When her eyes focused on Roz's forehead, she couldn't help but be shocked by the thing on it. It was a strange mark condensed from three golden runes. They were in the shape of semicircular sickles, condensing from the three corners to the center.
It exudes a weird and absurd aura, and it is this thing that is constantly invading and interfering with Roots' brain.
The evil ring in Shihui's hand seemed to have sensed the breath of the Creator and began to stir.
'Hastur!'
