The door of the shop was pushed open, and the ringing of the bell attracted Xia's attention. "Welcome, come." She said to the customer using the welcome words she had just learned one day, her words and expressions were full of stiffness. When she saw the visitor, she was originally
A trace of surprise flashed across his stiff face.
To be honest, Kasumi, who was called a beauty at that moment, had such an ugly expression that it would scare a child.
"Is my condition that bad?" Jiang Yan grinned, looking uglier than crying. "I guess work is going well?"
Xia is wearing a slightly short shirt and skirt at the moment, with the same high ponytail as when we first met, but with a different rope, but her face is much rosier and she looks like she had a good rest yesterday. She is cleaning the house with a broom in her hand.
"Your Excellency Jiang Yan." The receptionist nodded slightly in greeting. "Is this a privilege or a nurturing one?"
"Haircut, maintenance." Jiang Yan felt that he had to correct the pronunciation of foreigners. The impact of these two words after being mispronounced was quite large. "No need, I'm here..." The two of them were communicating in Dongguan.
, a familiar voice came, "I'm sorry, the new clerk doesn't speak Yanguo dialect very well yet, would you like to——"
It was Shen Mo who opened the door to the staff lounge. When she saw the visitor, she froze on the spot, "Jiang Shao?"
"Hi." Jiang Yan greeted him. He had told him in advance that he did not go back for dinner yesterday. Shen Mo originally thought that he was just in a bad mental state, but Jiang Yan's current state is a bit embarrassing:
It's hard not to get hurt in a fight of that kind of intensity.
Although everyone in Rhode Island and Skadi have been very restrained, Jiang Yan, who lost his mind and turned into a beast, is "really serious". In order for both parties to complete the experiment safely, their defense must use some less defensive methods.
s method.
Medical patches were applied to the big and small scratches on his face, two splints were placed on his fingers, and his palms and wrists were covered with bandages. The heaviest blow was a brutal home run. Jiang Yan felt that his ribs were broken.
Two. However, it should grow back quickly after applying the medicine. The only advantage of this body is that it can withstand beatings. For this reason, Jiang Yan did not choose to go to the hospital: he would definitely be questioned if he went to the hospital after suffering such a serious injury.
It's better to deal with it on the spot.
Obviously you can't put too much faith in how well a team that doesn't even have medical operators can bandage up: Jiang Shao's injured parts are all wrapped up like rice dumplings. But Jiang Shao knows his position and can't condemn any of them. He should
He said that if they were still willing to take care of Jiang Yan, it would be considered generous, and if they were willing to help with the bandage, it would be a sign of a holy mother's heart.
After all, it was almost a life-threatening situation.
Hodel kept a straight face when he put the splint on Jiang Sheng's finger, but in the end he didn't say anything else: This incident did not completely condemn Jiang Shen. They also understood the risks and decided to take the gamble this time. Now.
It's just paying the price.
Only now did Jiang Yan realize his true appearance that night, and the reason why Tieju and Lin had been evasive and silent was finally known. Looking at the damaged and deformed environment in his field of vision, Jiang Yan knew that he could no longer
Take that knife.
He should not participate in relevant investigations anymore. No one knows whether Jiang Shao will enter that state next time due to a sudden coma. Jiang Shao does not have the guts to let himself become such an uncontrollable factor.
After finishing the bandaging, Chen Ze said to Jiang Shao very seriously:
"What you look like after losing your mind is very much like an ancient beast whose name has been lost. I have only heard from some miscellaneous books that using fresh and precious blood as a tribute can calm the beast's anger and appetite."
——It was probably not only Skadi who awakened Jiang Shao's reason at that time, but also the trace of Skadi's blood that seeped into Jiang Shao's mouth. Judging from the way Skadi was very careful to stop the bleeding, this kind of blood was probably very precious.
"Tell this to someone you can trust. If this happens again, drinking blood may not be useful."
Everyone in Rhode Island and Skadi left the club, and Jiang Yan decided to find Xia.
As the last survivor of the Feng Demon Family, she needs to know the result of every attempt.
"...Do you want a haircut?" Jiang Yan shook his head towards Shen Mo, who had a complex look on his face. "No, I'm here to see her. Some, um, news about Xia's family."
Jiang Yan didn't see Shen Mo yesterday, so naturally he didn't know how Zi explained Xia's origin to Shen Mo, but there should be no problem with explaining like this, and it wouldn't affect anything. "Really?" Shen Mo responded,
Put your hands behind your back.
"Speaking of which, the products in the store seem to be replenished. Let me calculate the quantity."
As Shen Mo talked, he came to the counter, took out a pen and paper and started to record. Jiang Yan was a little confused: Shen Mo's mother was from Dongguo, and her hearing was no worse than that of pure Dongguo people. If she heard the conversation, Xia's identity would be difficult
It’s been kept secret. Jiang Yan said to Xia, “Then let’s go out and talk?”
——Shen Mo knocked over the Lucky Cat on the counter.
Xia nodded and put down the cleaning tools, and followed Jiang Yan to the door. Shen Mo was left alone holding the lucky cat that was about to fall, and his back looked a little lonely.
——
"Let's start with the conclusion." Jiang Yan went straight to the point, "I tried to pull out the knife, but it came out of the sheath successfully, but I couldn't control it."
Xia was very surprised when she heard this sentence. She didn't seem to think that Jiang Yan really remembered this matter. "...I understand."
people, please let them try it too.”
"If they agree." Jiang Yan raised his hand wrapped into a rice dumpling. He didn't want to be beaten like this again, or have anyone beat him like this. "Leave aside the danger, just pull it out
The knife has to remove a lot of blood in one go, and I feel a little dizzy now."
Chen Ze's observation that the knife will suck the blood of the holder is correct: the many tiny gaps on the strange-looking handle are there for sucking blood. When a person draws the knife, a considerable amount of blood needs to be injected to succeed.
, it can be regarded as a primitive and effective "gene safety lock" that I don't know how to implement.
Xia was silent for a while, then asked: "Can you describe to me the situation and feeling at the scene? I want to compare it with what my father told me, and maybe I can accumulate some information."
Jiang Yan scratched his head, "I'm not a pure hunter. I'm afraid it won't be meaningful to investigate and record my condition." Jiang Yan recalled the scene described by Lin for a while and said:
"My situation is relatively special. I'm afraid it took a long time after I pulled out the knife to lose my mind, right?"
Xia Xia said, "Sometimes this happens. People who don't lose their minds quickly will make some unclear roars to try to resist, and finally lose their minds. It lasts for about ten seconds, and the longest record is one minute.
"
Jiang Yan scratched his chin in surprise, "They said I just stood there blankly for five minutes? No reaction. I looked like a fool and didn't show anything. It didn't seem to be the reaction you said.
So intense.”
Jiang Yan didn't see the strange look flashing across Xia's face and said:
"Anyway, the things you asked me to keep temporarily are placed in the same place. That's the way it is... I should probably persuade myself to stop."
