Main World, Japan, in a spacious residence.
Sei Itō raised his right arm and pointed his index finger at Nagasawa Masami's forehead. She had a dark green bite mark on her left forearm. A wave of extreme exhaustion that made her want to fall asleep immediately surged into Nagasawa Masami's heart. Her eyelids gently opened and closed twice before she completely fainted.
Then, without waiting for her to fall, layers of ice quickly crawled up her body. In the blink of an eye, it covered her entire body. It quickly thickened and condensed.
A moment later, an irregular layer of ice appeared outside Nagasawa Masami's body, completely sealing her inside.
Visible cold air drifted around Nagasawa Masami's body.
Sei Itō withdrew his arm after sealing Nagasawa Masami. With a wave of his arm, the clothes scattered on the bed immediately disappeared. Then, Sei Itō and Nagasawa Masami's figures also disappeared from the room.
The next moment, in the Rubik's Cube World's biological laboratory.
"Emma, how's the experiment data?" Sei Itō asked Emma, who was staring at the rapidly changing data on the virtual screen in front of her.
"My Lord." Emma turned around and greeted him. Then, her gaze fell on the frozen Nagasawa Masami beside Sei Itō.
"As expected, she's a woman. I knew it. The only women who can make my Lord so concerned are those who have intimate relations with you." Emma stood up from her seat and said with a look of approval.
"Eh? Could it be that in the short time I was away? Emma, have you had anything else to eat? Why do I feel a sour smell wafting in the air? "Ito Sei walked towards Emma, pretending to smell something strange and said.
"My Lord, you really know how to joke." Emma rolled her eyes at Sei Itō.
"It might not be a joke." Ito Sei, who had walked in front of Emma, suddenly stretched out his arm and pulled Emma into his arms. He lowered his head and smiled.
Emma's cheeks reddened slightly, but she maintained her normal expression. It was as if he didn't care at all. However, from the way she raised her hand to tidy up her hair, he could still see that she was slightly flustered.
"Sir, don't you want to hear the report?" Sei Itō's gaze made Emma a little uncomfortable. She turned her head and whispered to the virtual screen beside her.
"Go ahead, I'm listening." Sei Itō shifted his body slightly and circled behind Emma so that her back was against his chest. He still maintained his posture with his arms around his waist.
Emma adjusted her mood and said seriously, "According to the results of the supercomputer's deduction, it is indeed possible to complete the treatment of the patient with a progressive treatment agent during the period between the patient's bite and the onset of the illness, but it depends on the situation. If the patient was bitten less than ten minutes ago, a two-fold diluted progressive treatment agent would be able to cure the patient. If the patient was bitten less than thirty minutes ago, a normal concentration of progressive treatment agent can be used. If the patient was bitten more than forty-five minutes ago, a high-concentration progressive treatment agent can be used at the cost of a certain degree of damage to the body. If the patient was bitten more than an hour ago, the progressive treatment agent can no longer be used. "
As Emma spoke, her palm kept sliding across the virtual optical screen in front of her. Various data and images were displayed in Sei Itō's eyes.
"So, my Lord, I hope that your female friend wasn't bitten more than an hour ago. Otherwise, we will have to use half-finished medicine." Emma turned her head slightly and looked at Sei Itō behind her as she spoke.
"She's quite lucky. She was bitten less than forty-five minutes ago, which is a stage that can be treated with medicine." Sei Itō's lips curled slightly as he smiled.
The reason why he was so sure was because when Emma was talking about the relationship between the bitten time and the treatment, Sei Itō had sensed something. At the same time, Sei Itō had also secretly released his spiritual power to invade Nagasawa Masami's mind. Through the remnant memories in her cerebral cortex, he was able to read Nagasawa Masami's memories and trace back the time.
Apart from the time when he returned home from the set, which took him nearly half an hour, he didn't waste any time. After sending his agent away, he immediately contacted Sei Itō. She was sealed in ice.
"She's quite lucky to have met you, my Lord," Emma said as she glanced at the frozen Nagasawa Masami from Sei Itō's shoulder.
"Alright, my Lord, let me go. I'll go to Cecil's place to discuss the concoction of the medicine. You can use this time to send her to the treatment room," Emma said as she retracted her gaze.
Sei Itō nodded slightly, took a step back, and let go of Emma.
"Because the graded medicine was only a trial product, I don't know if Cecil still has any in stock. If he doesn't, we'll have to remake it. So, my Lord, it's best if you don't remove the ice seal on her. Wait for me to return," Emma reminded as she straightened out her wrinkled clothes.
"I understand." Sei Itō nodded in agreement.
"Then, I'll be heading over."
Emma turned around and walked to the wall beside the laboratory. She reached out her hand and drew something in front of her. A line of light particles as thick as a finger immediately appeared on the wall. Then, the line of light particles suddenly stretched to both sides and rapidly expanded, forming a door that emitted a green fluorescent light.
Emma stepped into the door of light, her figure disappearing into its radiance.
A teleportation door!
Then, the door of light persisted for another five to six seconds before suddenly shrinking as if it had lost its energy supply. It condensed into a small dot and finally disappeared like a popped bubble.
Seeing Emma leave, Sei Itō didn't hesitate. He used telekinesis to lift the frozen Nagasawa Masami and sent her to the treatment bed in Emma's personal laboratory. He laid her flat on the bed and activated the life support system on it. He then adjusted the system's functions to the most suitable level for the frozen Nagasawa Masami.
Then, Sei Itō's figure flashed and left Emma's laboratory, appearing in Cecil's personal laboratory.
It had to be said that Cecil's concentration was very strong. Ever since Sei Itō arranged for her to leave Lloyd's humanoid mecha manufacturing department and take charge of alchemy potions alone, Cecil had immediately devoted herself wholeheartedly to it. Not only did she crack and master the various alchemy potion formulas that Sei Itō had bought from the Alchemist Association's underground black market in the shortest time possible, she even improved and developed them. Now that there were more and more types of laboratories, Cecil had become the authoritative producer of many laboratory potions. She was basically the first producer of all kinds of special potions, followed by the molecular analysis of various biological laboratories and the mass production of various factories.
At this moment, Cecil was wearing a white lab coat and holding two test tubes filled with blue and lavender liquid respectively. She seemed to be concocting something.
Sei Itō saw this and didn't say anything to disturb her. He quietly stood by the side and watched Cecil, who was exuding a different kind of charm as she worked seriously. He waved his hand to stop Emma, who had noticed his arrival, from greeting him.
Twenty minutes later, Cecil's adjustment of the potion was complete with a soft "pu" sound.
Cecil gently exhaled and took out four empty test tubes. She divided the liquid in the test tubes into four equal portions and poured them into the four test tubes. She then added a portion of spirit water to dilute the mixture.
"Emma, it's done." Cecil placed the test tubes in the cleaning basin beside her and turned around to smile at Emma.
"Eh? My Lord? When did you arrive? " However, when she looked at Emma, she immediately noticed Sei Itō standing at the side with a smile on his face. She hurriedly called out to him.
"I haven't been here for long, but I saw that you were in the middle of concocting potions. I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't say anything. "Sei Itō smiled. He then turned to look at the four sealed potion bottles and asked, "That should be the final product of this potion, right?"
"Yes." Cecil raised her hand to take off the glasses on her face and put them into the pocket of her lab coat as she confirmed.
"It seems that this potion is for Sir to use. Previously, I was wondering why Emma wanted me to personally produce something that could be directly produced by the robots in the laboratory. "Cecil smiled.
In the current laboratory, as long as Cecil produced a finished potion, the relevant information and procedures would be stored in the laboratory's central quantum computer. Then, when necessary, it would be transmitted to the mid-end processor of the robots in the laboratory's small potion production workshop. Mass production was carried out. Therefore, other than some potions that required special energy to be processed, the laboratory could basically mass produce all the potions.
"Isn't this so that you can show off in front of Sir? What's wrong? You're picking on me? "Emma retorted.
"Yes, yes. Thank you for your understanding, Miss Emma." Cecil said with a helpless expression.
"Forget it. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to treat the woman my Lord brought back, and I'll come back to find trouble with you later. "Emma walked to Cecil's operating table and reached behind her to take the four medicine bottles, snorting softly.
"I don't know how to refuse guests," Cecil said with a smile.
Emma ignored Cecil's joke and walked up to the wall behind Cecil. With a swipe of her hand, a fluorescent door appeared in front of her. Emma waved at Cecil and entered the door of light.
"Let's go out for dinner tonight?" Sei Itō invited Cecil with a smile.
"Okay." Cecil agreed without much hesitation.
"That's settled then. I'll pick you up at your house at six o 'clock. Remember to dress nicely." Ito Sei smiled.
"Sir really has a lot of requests." Cecil pretended to complain.
Sei Itō smiled and disappeared from Cecil's laboratory in a flash. He returned to Emma's laboratory.
At this moment, Emma had already entered Nagasawa Masami's medical room and started working. Sei Itō didn't beat around the bush and followed her in.
"By the way, apart from the potion, has the laboratory developed any antibodies or vaccines?" Sei Itō asked Emma, who was busy working.
"There is such a plan, but because we haven't been able to develop an effective potion, the proposal for a vaccine has been put on hold. Therefore, we haven't carried out any related experiments yet." Emma, who had finished her preparations, retreated from the medical bed and replied.
"Then let's take this opportunity to collect some samples. Then, let's have someone carry out the vaccine research. Since it's so troublesome to treat, let's just kill it and stop it from developing. "Sei Itō instructed.
"Okay." Emma nodded in agreement. She then looked up at Sei Itō and said, "Sir, it's time to remove the ice on her body."
Sei Itō didn't seem to have done anything, but the ice on Nagasawa Masami's body shattered with a series of cracking sounds. Then, with a crisp crack, the ice completely shattered into countless ice crystals. Under the illumination of the laboratory lights, the ice crystals flickered and disappeared into the air.
At the same time, Emma hurriedly pressed the activation command on the virtual optical screen that appeared in front of her.
The next moment, there was a soft sound. The liquid in one of the four potion tubes at the front of the medical bed was quickly drained. It flowed through a small tube connected to the vein in Nagasawa Masami's injured left arm and into her body.
At first, her reaction was mediocre, like an ordinary person receiving an IV drip. There was no reaction. But after a minute, the data displayed on the various instruments beside the medical bed began to change.
First, it was her heartbeat. From the initial thirty beats per minute when she was removed from the ice seal, it quickly rose to a hundred and sixty beats per minute. Next, it was her blood pressure, then her body temperature, and finally some data that the outside world's hospitals couldn't monitor … What appeared on Nagasawa Masami's body was red, her breathing was rapid, her brows were tightly knitted, and her forehead was covered in sparkling sweat.
It was also at this moment that Emma pressed another button.
In an instant, several thin and long transparent tubes with sharp needles at the front shot out from the bed on both sides. They accurately pierced Nagasawa Masami's neck, shoulders, arms, waist, legs, and feet, sending a transparent liquid into her body.
Sei Itō understood that this was to replenish her body's water and reduce her body temperature.
The replenishment of water lasted for about half a minute. Several more tubes shot out from the medical bed and pierced into various parts of Nagasawa Masami's body. But this time, the liquid that flowed out was a faintly fluorescent green liquid.
Sei Itō also knew about this. It was the Liquid of Life that he learned from the Revolutionary World. This was to replenish the nutrients in Nagasawa Masami's cells to ensure her safety.
Then, various tubes shot out from the medical bed and pierced into Nagasawa Masami's back like needles. They delivered some liquid to maintain Nagasawa Masami's safety.
Time passed by quickly, minute by minute, second by second …
