Chapter 72 Food Review of Diseased Leaves(1/2)
"It would be okay if you were a dragon."
(The above are the last words of the discouraged brother in "Dark Souls 3".)
"What have you been talking about since just now!"
Butterfly frowned impatiently.
When her morale was at its lowest, Yan Ya found traces of the ghost. Her sense of responsibility forced her to take action. The guy was saying some unintelligible words next to her, and her stomach had been aching since just now.
, she was really annoyed.
"Please don't worry, I just thought of an old friend who gets easily discouraged."
Genichiro said casually, and then immediately changed the subject: "Have you finished checking? What happened to these two people? Are they poisoned?"
At this moment, the two of them had arrived at the small entrance gate on the bank of the Rashomon River.
Just as the bird had informed them, the two men were huddled in pain in front of the small door, their bodies exuding the smell of rotting from the inside, and it was impossible not to notice.
Of these two people, one kept coughing up blood and almost choked to death on his own phlegm; the other looked even more miserable, with his body shrinking strangely and transforming into a skin and bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When Genichiro observed them with his spiritual vision, he could only see strange green mist lingering in the lungs and stomachs of the two men respectively, but Genichiro didn't know what happened to them specifically.
But that green mist is related to ghosts, that's for sure.
There is indeed a second ghost existing near such a small Rashomon Gate, and it really deserves this terrifying name.
"I checked, it's not as simple as poisoning."
The Butterfly Ninja shook his head slightly, and used the fallen branch to pound a pool of red jelly-like substance on the ground. This was exactly what the coughing man coughed up, "It should be a disease."
"disease?"
With solemn eyes, she pointed at the skin and bones with a branch, "His symptoms are like a gastric cancer patient who is getting worse."
Then he turned to the coughing man with blood bleeding from his mouth, "And his condition is a bit like a severe infection of pneumonia, and he also has some symptoms of tuberculosis."
Butterfly paused for a moment, then emphasized: "But the key problem is that their condition deteriorates thousands of times faster than normal patients!"
"The one who can achieve such abnormal performance must be the result of the vampire magic."
"The only question now is why the ghost used the blood ghost technique on them but didn't eat them."
I met a total of seven ghosts in two nights, and two of them had blood ghost techniques. No wonder the butterfly ninja's mentality was about to collapse.
"Tsk."
Genichiro took a step back, fearing that he would be infected by the two patients, "You have used pills and detoxifying powder just now, but they are of no use to them. If you want to save them, you have to deal with the ghost and make the vampire technique useless."
To be honest, even though his pills were no longer valuable after removing the pottery shards from the prize pool, he still felt a bit regretful that they were given to two passers-by so easily.
But the butterfly ninja insisted on doing this and even bought the pills and detoxification powder in the name of the Demon Slayer Squad. He had no reason to refuse.
However, the results also reminded him that pills and detoxifying powder were ineffective against this ghost's vampire technique, so he had to be extremely careful.
"You're right, but we still don't know the location of this ghost."
Butterfly nodded in agreement, "Now, we have to find a way to get them to speak."
Speaking of this, she suddenly had an idea and took out a bottle of pure wisteria flower liquid from her pocket, which was not mixed with any other toxins.
But despite this, ordinary wisteria flower liquid is also harmful to the human body. Unless it is an emergency, she will never give it to humans directly.
"Since their symptoms are caused by vampire magic, the wisteria flower might be able to resolve them."
With the mentality of giving it a try, she pointed to the skin and bones whose muscle tissue was still shrinking, "Give me a hand and help me open his mouth to keep the esophagus open."
Cancer is not contagious.
So Genichiro immediately followed the instructions, turned on his spiritual vision and carefully observed the skinny body.
As the Butterfly Ninja poured 1/4 of the wisteria flower liquid into the man's mouth, the green smoke that condensed in his stomach hid aside as if driven away by something.
But it was only temporarily suppressed.
When the wisteria flower juice is neutralized by the gastric juice, the green stuff will come back.
"It's done."
As soon as Genichiro finished speaking, the half pill that Skinny had taken before immediately started to take effect.
Although his body showed no intention of recovering, his skinny complexion improved slightly. Half a minute later, he was able to open his eyes and answer questions.
"Don't talk nonsense, let me ask you questions."
The butterfly ninja could see that the effect of the wisteria flower was not long-lasting, and if the ghost was not dealt with as soon as possible, the two of them would not be completely saved.
There is no more time to waste.
"Did you encounter any strange people or things before you got sick?"
The man originally wanted to say thank you, but when he saw the Butterfly Ninja's expression being so serious, he replied directly: "We came back directly from the doctor in front of Kurosuke Inari Torii after moving the corpse. But we didn't expect that we just came out.
There's something wrong with this door..."
"doctor?"
Genichiro grasped the key words, "What doctor? Where did the doctor come from so late?"
"The new doctor from the abandoned house today, we don't know his name, he looks quite young. Patients who cannot be treated at Horiuchi Hospital, or who are unwilling to be treated, are usually sent to the doctor over at the morgue.
Go there and see if he can be revived."
At this point, his face suddenly turned ugly, "We are like this, isn't it because of what he did to us?"
"That should be it."
The butterfly ninja didn't explain much, but asked, "Where was this doctor when you left?"
"Still in the hut next to the morgue."
The man said with some fear: "When he left, he also asked us to bring more patients there in the future. He said that for every person we brought to him, he would give us 10 yuan. I thought he was a good person before."
Morgue.
The new doctor.
Take the patient there.
As soon as these keywords came out, Butterfly Ninja was already sure that this doctor was definitely not a serious human being, and was 99% an evil spirit.
Since they were evil spirits, why didn't they kill these two guys on the spot instead of leaving them here to wait for death?
Is this ghost's frontal combat capability weak?
"Wait, you just said, bring the patient there?"
Butterfly Ninja's face immediately turned extremely ugly, "Did you also bring him patients today?"
"Yes, yes."
The man was frightened by the Butterfly Ninja's expression, and he shivered and replied: "There is a little girl who was seriously injured, and a wandering girl who had a heart disease, but the two of them looked like they didn't have much time left..."
The butterfly ninja and Genichiro looked at each other and knew that they had to act immediately and rush over as quickly as possible before the two patients were eaten.
She took out a small bottle and handed it to Skinny Bones, "If you feel stomach pain again after a while, just drink some of the potion in it, and don't forget to feed some to your companions as well."
The man took the potion and thanked him, but glanced at his companion who was coughing up blood with flickering eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking.
The Butterfly Ninja keenly observed this, stretched out his hand to grab his collar, and warned in a deep voice: "This is medicine for the two of you. I will come back later, and if I find that he is dead, I will kill you too."
Buried alive."
"Don't even think about running away, you can't run away either."
Her purple eyes were full of coldness, and her gaze penetrated this man's internal organs like sharp arrows, "Do you understand, do you?"
She was already in a bad mood due to various reasons, but when she found out that she had actually saved such a person, her temper became even more irritable.
The man was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He could only nod like a chicken pecking at rice.
It's too scary. It must be some kind of female ghost.
"Mark my words."
The Butterfly Ninja then let go of his collar, entered the small door with Genichiro, and ran quickly in the direction where Kurosuke Inari was.
The two of them walked along the narrow road for less than 100 meters when Genichiro saw an overwhelming number of paper figures rushing towards him!
There are as many as fifty-six of them.
This means that this ghost, whom he has never met before, killed fifty-six people in one month!
Even the fourth character I encountered last time didn’t have so many paper figurines stored on me.
It can be seen that this time we encountered difficulties again.
"Stop!"
Genichiro quickly grabbed the butterfly ninja.
"what are you doing?"
Butterfly Ninja frowned and pointed to the flickering candlelight house in front of the torii gate a few dozen meters away, "That ghost and those two people are in that house."
To be continued...
