Chapter 37 Gentle
Although Dr. O’Kali’s hands were cuffed, her mouth was not gagged.
And humans attacked by headhunter bats have an indescribable feeling of emptiness in their mouths, and instinctively want to bite wildly to fill something.
So, Dr. O’Kali lunged at Lonis without any obstruction, and bit down. (Su Ling had put down the safety rope and couldn’t come up to stop her.)
Tear!
Immediately, blood splattered, and crimson blood flowed onto the floor. Lonis’s skin was naturally soft and tender, and a piece of muscle was bitten off at this moment.
The intense pain spread throughout her body in an instant. Lonis felt as if her arm had broken, and the severe pain made her break out in sweat all over, and her arms trembled violently.
If it had been an ordinary person experiencing such pain, they would probably have fainted from it.
But Lonis stubbornly held the steering wheel and did not leave the cockpit.
(Calm down, Lonis… there is no pain at all. You are the Hero, you absolutely cannot back down!)
Lonis knew that her body was very weak now and could not help Elusia at all, nor was she qualified to enter the research station to investigate.
But, but!
She must do a good job of guarding the main camp: since she had taken it upon herself to save Dr. O’Kali, she must also take responsibility.
So Lonis didn’t even cry out in pain. She endured the severe pain and continued to pull down the engine.
But at the same time,
Dr. O’Kali opened her mouth again and bit towards Lonis’s shoulder.
Tear!
Another ferocious bite, and the girl’s arm seemed to be completely bitten off, and bright red blood gushed out, dyeing the entire cockpit.
However, a smile flickered across Lonis’s lips.
Because the spaceship had lifted off.
And her mission was completed.
…
Lonis, she didn’t know how much time had passed.
She only felt intense pain all over her body, as if she was immersed in concentrated sulfuric acid, and her skin was being torn and corroded all over.
Until a gentle touch reached her arm, Lonis felt much better.
It was as if she was entangled by a rope.
Rising continuously, crawling, her consciousness slowly awoke from this incredibly dark abyss.
Right, that’s it…
It seems like this kind of thing isn’t happening for the first time?
Before she became the Hero, she seemed to have heard this voice. And it was this voice that encouraged her to live, to uphold her beliefs, and to defeat the unconquerable Demon King.
So…
…
“Really, Lonis, you idiot. I didn’t expect you to get such serious injuries just by staying on the ship.”
“Wuwu?”
“Hmph, it seems that only by locking you in a box will you know what danger is?”
Lonis regained consciousness and felt the soft cushion behind her head. When she opened her eyes, she realized she was lying on Elusia’s lap.
And the black-haired girl’s eyes?
She was looking at her with a slight scolding, her gaze like she was looking at a disobedient little pet.
“Elusia?”
“Don’t move!”
Lonis subconsciously wanted to sit up, but immediately, she felt her body sore, and her muscles felt a tearing weakness.
“Wuwuwu!”
“I told you, don’t move.”
Before Lonis could move around, Elusia hugged the silver-haired girl with her hands.
Her black hair also slid down from her shoulders, brushing against Lonis’s cheeks, feeling a little itchy.
And at this moment, Lonis realized…
It was Elusia who had given her that warm feeling earlier. It was this black-haired girl who had been holding her, and using her hands to soothe the pain of her wounds.
“Wuwu… (blushing slightly)”
“Really, I’m taking such good care of you, and yet you still dare to resist. It seems that the small leather whip and gag are more suitable for a masochist like you.”
“S-s-sorry.”
…
Lying on Elusia’s lap, Lonis felt an indescribable sense of peace.
After all, Elusia’s expression meant that everyone was safe, and the magic ship had successfully lifted off.
It seemed that she had finally become useful!
Finally, a hero saves the damsel once, and shows her heroic spirit once!
…
Just as Lonis thought this, Elusia let out a cold哼:
“Hmph, Lonis. Although you successfully completed the task I assigned, I haven’t settled the score with you for unilaterally rescuing Dr. O’Kali yet.”
“Huh? Elusia…”
Lonis wanted to explain,
But the girl soon realized: no matter how she explained, she couldn’t change the fact… she had indeed disobeyed Elusia’s orders and gone out without permission.
Although she had prepared and tied up Dr. O’Kali, she had not completely controlled the doctor, which led to her being bitten.
Then…
“I’m sorry, Young Lady Elusia. Punish me if you want to.”
After saying that, Lonis closed her eyes with a blush.
Anyway, if she was punished, Elusia could replenish her magic power… It wasn’t particularly embarrassing to be punished for protecting her wife, was it?
The silver-haired girl thought so, but Elusia smiled slightly and said:
“Hmph, if I were to punish you like this, it would make me seem too unfeeling.”
“Huh?”
“After all, Lonis has merit for saving the day. So this time, merits and demerits are offset, and I won’t punish you.”
“!”
Although she didn’t say it explicitly, Lonis could still feel Elusia’s mood at the moment, which seemed to be very happy. Her crimson eyes were no longer aggressive, but looked at her like a partner, appearing extremely cute.
“Elusia…”
“Mm, what is it?”
“Ah?”
Elusia’s question made Lonis panic, and she even forgot what she had wanted to ask.
“Ah… I, I… what’s wrong with my body?”
“Mm, you are now, like Dr. O’Kali, infected with the predator bat virus.”
“Ah, the predator bat virus?!”
“Yes, it’s just that your immunity is different from ordinary people. Those viruses cannot invade your brain cells and make you go berserk, so for now, you can only be paralyzed and weak on the ground.”
“And what about Dr. O’Kali…”
“She has been locked in a travel case by me. Currently, I am discussing countermeasures to treat her with Isumi.”
“Wuwu…”
“In short, this is a strategic operation. Lonis is an idiot and doesn’t need to participate in it. Just lie in bed and recuperate.”
“… (blush)”
“In the next few hours, I will have Bai Ye take care of you. If you need anything, just tell her.”
—————
…
Walking out of the bedroom, Elusia’s expression became somewhat serious.
She closed the door and walked straight up to Isumi.
“Isumi, how is Dr. O’Kali’s condition?”
“She is still in a coma, but it can be confirmed that the concentration is extremely unusual.”
Isumi shook her head and looked at the report in her hand: “Although the cause of the illness cannot be determined, it seems that Dr. O’Kali was not parasitized by the predator bat, but was artificially injected with this virus.”
“Artificially injected…”
“Yes, because the concentration is very high, according to the current medical standards, we cannot treat Dr. O’Kali… I think in the whole world, only that great existence can expel the virus.”
Isumi said sincerely, but Elusia just snorted coldly:
“Hmph, stop flattering me. Moreover, the one who controls the Fiery Abyss is not me, but Lonis.”
“Captain Your Highness, but Lonis is also your maid, isn’t she?”
“That’s what you said… In short, I can activate the power of the Fiery Abyss, but at the same time, you also need to activate the power of Clarity. Only by working together can we prepare the ointment to drive out the virus.”
ps: I added 15 extra chapters last month, and there are still 10 chapters that haven’t been made up.
But if nothing unexpected happens, after they are made up, it might still be double updates (because I’m used to it 0v0)
