Chapter two hundred and sixty-eight
The sound of rain came from outside the wall, and the thick stone walls could not even stop the water vapor that penetrated into the inside. A trace of unclear cold air overflowed from the base of the wall.
The fluorite lamp hanging in the corner of the wall emits a dim light, emitting a colorful halo in the misty air. Curt's vision becomes blurred by the different scenery gradually being confused. Both reality and dreams want to be wrapped in a thin layer of mist.
Liqi's spell seemed to have caused inevitable damage to Curt's brain, just as someone stabbed his head with a red-burned iron fork, and then maliciously stirred up. The unresolved dull pain remained in his mind, causing a hollow dizziness.
Perhaps that spell can indeed wake people up from their dreams, but for those who lack recovery ability, it may only cause permanent brain damage that is difficult to recover. Curt felt that his brain was almost abnormal. If it weren't for the physical condition, his head might have burned out just now.
The tinnitus had gradually dissipated, but the dizziness that followed remained deep in the mind with the pain. Perhaps because he knew that his spell had brought many problems, Liqi once again silently studied the improvement method - this undoubtedly meant that Curt would be used as an experimental subject for her "solution", which also made Curt worry about whether his head would explode for the first time.
Just as Curt was fighting the constant pain, the warm air in the room slowly cooled down. The incense hidden in the air gradually dissipated into nothing with the cold air, and the few smells left stuck to him in one breath and poured into his nose.
It seemed like the fruit that was about to come. There was a bit of dead blood that had already become cold, and a sweet smell seemed to remain in the nasal cavity. They continued to pour into Curt's body with breathing. They flowed from the trachea to the depths of his body, and eroded his body little by little.
"Ahem, ahem!"
As if he was choking his throat by the disgusting smell. Curt bowed his body and covered his lungs with his hands and coughed loudly. His already sick face had a little unhealthy blood. It seemed that this cough made his physical condition very bad.
He hunched over and gasped loudly with coughing, as if he was about to cough out all the air deep in his body. The bones all over his body made a low whine as if they were about to fall apart, and at the same time, a slight dull pain spread throughout his body like an electric current.
"Do you do not matter? I heard Cadfield say that you are in poor health, but I didn't expect this to happen." The man who was still close was jumped by Curt's loud cough and hesitated to take two steps back. "The record says that you have a comprehensive family inheritance disease. But it seems that the specific situation of this disease has not been mentioned... It seems that this disease does not affect your physical ability."
He stared at Curt who was coughing loudly, and looked at his face with a playful look. The cold blue eyes did not show any concern about Curt's physical condition. The chill revealed from it even made people feel that it was impossible for him to attack him in the next second.
There is nothing about good intentions or malice, it is just simply evaluating the value of the person in front of him. To put it bluntly, he probably only evaluates the "person" as "items". Maybe, for all the people who appear in front of him, there is only a difference between whether they are valuable or not.
Even if he belongs to the same camp as him, if it has no use value to him, he will definitely choose to betray him without hesitation.
It's really uncomfortable.
"No need to care, you're right, it's just that some old problems have been dealt with again."
After a while, Curt recovered from his violent cough. He shook his head and gasped. At the same time, he changed his body deeply under the bow to a standing position that could adjust the center of gravity at any time. The bent posture made him full of flaws and was the best time for others to attack him - and now, the standing posture produced to emphasize indoor combat is at least enough for him to deal with most emergencies.
He whispered and coughed twice. Curt continued: "This is just a genetic disease in our family, not just me. My parents and sister also have this problem... But fortunately, this disease will only be accompanied by our blood ties and will not cause unnecessary trouble to others."
As this man said, he had already reported his physical condition... at least about the so-called "genetic disease" to the Mercenary Management Office. At best, it can only be regarded as a cover-up of his identity, but he himself did not expect to get a lot of convenience through this "setting".
He claimed that he had to take some kind of medicine for a long time because of his physical problems, which was one of the reasons why he advocated that he would not accept long-term work. Although about 90% of them were lies, he looked sick and the person in charge of the examination was not interested in further examination on him.
In the Mercenary Management Office, most familiar mercenaries have a view of Curt as an ordinary person who can complete many difficult tasks despite having many physical problems. Although his abilities are much stronger than the so-called "ordinary iron-level mercenaries", his overall performance is not as good as many companions of the same period.
In other words, he did not have much value in using the man in front of him. Curt is indeed a little more capable than most iron-level mercenaries, which makes him less able to give up at will... But if he was asked to choose one between the Eye of True Vision and Curt, he would probably choose the former.
But if he had mastered the information of the True Vision Eye, everything would have become a little different. From the first contact, the True Vision Eye's actions were interfered by Curt and Liqi. Apart from the attack on the academy, their performance would definitely make the spells notice their power.
Just looking at the encirclement in front of them, Curt wanted to laugh when he thought that the upper-level leaders who had never been exposed to would set traps for him here. It seemed that he had a considerable amount of weight in the Eye of True View or the Supergirl Sect behind them, and it was worthy of manpower to suppress it.
, it is impossible to deal with the sudden attacks of several times the magicians... I'm afraid they think so. The spells far stronger than ordinary people made them quite confident, thinking that they were ambush hunters and Curt was an ignorant prey.
But if this is true, it might be good, which makes Curt feel that he might have caught some hidden veins. At present, he does not have any evidence to prove that someone in the upper class of the Mercenary Management Office colludes with the Eye of True Vision, and it would be useless even if it was reported to Dean François immediately.
Instead of exposing their conspiracy now and tearing the faces with this man and the magicians behind him, it is better to use the trick to see what they want to do to themselves. Even the worst development is that there are only several spells that penetrate their bodies.
"You are really leisurely... Do you know, when you cough, more than twenty spells aimed at your head." Liqi's teasing voice echoed in Curt's head, "But that's fine. Looking at your current appearance, all the magicians relaxed their guard."
It feels like this when passing by the storm's spell attack. Their spells are outstandingly concealed under the cover of "dream". Even if they really blow the office on the second floor of Nanfeng Tavern into pieces, the stupid mercenaries downstairs would not notice the commotion here.
More than twenty spells aimed at the head... Even some generals in the last battle probably did not have this treatment. But it is not surprising. After all, using excessively dense spells to attack a target of human size is simply bombarding insects with heavy cannons, wasting magic for no reason.
"No, I don't think so."
However, Liqi denied Curt's idea: "If possible, I think they really want to capture you alive... Maybe I included me in the 'target'. This has caused them so much trouble during this period, and it seems that these guys also think that we two are not careless."
He also understood what Liqi said. Since not long ago, the dizziness accumulated in her mind has not subsided... It would be better to say that it has become more serious. The strength of the whole body seemed to be snatched away by the smell, and it was so soft that it could not lift the slightest bit of energy.
The faint incense may not be fatal toxic, but they can unknowingly become blurred by human consciousness. There was no obvious feeling when they were inhaled slightly before, but during the cough and subsequent gasps, Curt inhaled most of the remaining incense into his body.
"The flowers and sunset grass of the resting wood may also be mixed with some seeds of the Blood Creek flower... Generally speaking, it is a herb that can calm the mind." Feeling the smell in Curt's memory, Liqi analyzed its composition, "If it is only a small amount, it is indeed a kind of incense that allows people to sleep well, but in the number of this room... even large monsters may fall into a sleep..."
——In other words, it is the poisonous fragrance that urges people to dream.
The fact that he chose to use this method to capture it made Curt sigh at the boredom of the True Eye. When facing an uncertain harm, if he cannot avoid it, then eliminate its existence as much as possible before he causes it. If he chooses to keep it and tries to hold it in his hands, then this behavior will put himself in danger - even the gentlest creature will bite people when he is in a hurry.
Unless the two of them have some other value to these people that they don’t know, and their value is so great that it even exceeds the risk that comes with them. Only driven by excessive interests can these crazy guys take risks at any cost.
The vision is gradually getting darker, and the incense that has a sleeping effect is exerting their effects, quietly destroying Curt's consciousness of resistance. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianyi, the novel is better and faster!
