Late at night, in a small two-story house in the civilian area of Riverbeach City.
On the second floor, in a messy room, thick steam drifted out of the room.
In the room, a young girl was lying on the bed. Her skin was sallow, and she looked lifeless.
But her eyes were open, and they were full of life.
"Father …" she whispered. "Am I going to die?"
A burly man who was sitting by the bed tried to hold back his tears and grabbed his daughter's hands with force, "I'm sorry.
"Lyle, don't worry. I've found a way to save you."
"You'll be fine. Everything will be fine."
There was a third person in the room, also a very young girl. From her clothes, it could be seen that she came from a very ordinary family. She also sat by the bed, looking at the seriously ill Lyle.
"Thank you, Xinnie," Gru said in a low voice. "Thank you for taking care of Lyle while I was away."
"This is what I should do, Mr. Gru." Xin Ni had a sad look on her face. "Lyle is my best friend."
"It's my duty to take care of her. But her body … "
She paused and turned her face away, as if she could not bear to look at Lyle.
This was Gru's house. As a low-level adventurer who had worked hard in Riverbeach City for half of his life, it was not easy for Gru to buy such a house in the civilian area.
Tonight, Baron Ma Wen of the White River Valley gave him the book and told him that Double Mask would come to his house to find him.
This made him ecstatic.
There was finally some hope for his daughter. No matter how slim the hope was, he had to try.
The steam in the house was a very ancient method of treatment. It raised the temperature and humidity in the room, and was said to be effective for all kinds of diseases.
Gru had also invited many doctors, but they could not do anything about Lyle's condition. He could only use this method.
…
"Since you're back, I'll go back first."
After sitting for a while, Xinnie was woken up by the sudden return in the middle of the night.
Gru nodded.
He was just about to send his daughter's friend out when a figure suddenly burst in from the door!
"You can't go yet!"
Clang!
A scimitar was drawn and held to Cinny's neck.
"What are you doing!?" Gru was shocked and angry.
On the other hand, Xin Ni screamed at the top of her lungs. Marvin covered her mouth with his hand before she could make a sound.
Since he was wearing the [Horrifying Glove], he wouldn't feel anything even if the girl bit him.
"What am I doing?"
"Maybe you should ask her what she did?"
Ma Wen laughed and tore off Xin Ni's coat!
On her neck, there was a strange mark, like a half-finished tattoo.
"I don't know what you mean. Sinny is a good friend of Lyle's. "
Gelu said in a deep voice, "Mr. Double Blade Mask, let her go."
"Open the book in your hand. On page 670, you will find an illustration. "
Ma Wen said coldly.
At the same time, Xin Ni's body began to tremble violently.
There was a hint of fear in her eyes.
She began to struggle, but although Ma Wen's strength was average, it was easy for him to subdue a little girl.
Under the threat of the scimitar, she stopped struggling in fear.
…
Gru hurriedly took out the book and flipped to the page Ma Wen mentioned.
In an instant, his face changed!
"You are a follower of the God of Plague?!"
"What is going on? Xin Ni? "
Gru was completely dumbfounded!
This book was found in Baron Ma Wen's study. It was an ancient book passed down by his grandfather, which recorded the secrets of evil cultists.
Naturally, it included some records of the God of Plague.
Gru was not blind. He could tell at a glance that the tattoo on Xin Ni's neck, once completed, was exactly the same as the mark in the book!
It represented the followers of the God of Plague!
They were a group of detestable humans. They believed in plagues and spread plagues everywhere. Under the protection of the God of Plague, they were immune to all poisons.
These people were the most detestable.
Lyle, who was lying on the bed, did not understand what was happening. She anxiously tried to get up. "What are you doing?"
"Father, don't let this weirdo hurt Xin Ni."
Ma Wen was unmoved. He directly struck the back of Xin Ni's head with a chop.
She fainted.
"You lunatic!" Lyle said angrily. A strange flush appeared on her face.
"Shut up!" Gru shouted with a gloomy expression.
Lyle was completely dumbfounded. In her memory, her father had never spoken to her in such a tone.
"Xin Ni did this!"
Gru said with an unhappy expression, "Your illness was caused by Xin Ni."
"What? That's impossible! "Lyle shook her head. Who knew that at this moment, she would suddenly show an extremely painful expression!
She covered her heart with her left hand, tears falling like crazy. She grabbed the bedsheet with her right hand and tore it!
This showed how severe the pain was!
Gru hurriedly hugged Lyle and looked at Ma Wen for help.
Ma Wen took a deep breath and said to Gru, "If you want her to live, listen to me."
Gru nodded firmly.
At this point, he could only listen to the double blade mask's arrangements.
…
The steam stove in the room had been removed, leaving behind a huge brazier.
A strange plant was burning in the brazier. This plant was called Purple Rock Sprout. It was a kind of bitter grass with no nutritional value. Only the poorest people would use it to raise livestock.
When the Purple Rock Sprout burned, it would form a very choking purple smoke. But Ma Wen ordered Gru to close all the doors and windows.
Then he firmly tied Lyle's limbs to the bed.
"Now, you can leave."
"Because you don't want to see what's going to happen next."
Ma Wen said calmly, "If you want to stay, you must promise me that no matter what I do to your daughter, you cannot stop me!"
"Father, don't leave me! I don't want to be in the same room with this madman! "
Lyle screamed at the top of her lungs.
Gru showed a pained expression.
The double blade mask had no reason to harm him. He gritted his teeth and came to Lyle's bedside, "My dear, believe me. Although this gentleman is a bit unreasonable, he did come to save you."
"You have to believe me. I love you. My dear. "
With that, he kissed Lyle's forehead, looked deeply at Ma Wen, and left the room.
…
Only Ma Wen and Lyle were left in the room, sobbing alone.
"You are a stupid woman."
"But you shouldn't be so stupid that you didn't notice when your best friend attacked you, right?"
Ma Wen said calmly as he took out the jade dagger from the void conch.
At this time, the purple smoke had covered the entire room, and Lyle even choked.
She was silent for a moment, and then shook her head, "Impossible, Xin Ni has no reason to do this."
"People are willing to do anything to survive."
Ma Wen came to Lyle's side and whispered, "Your father loves you very much."
Lyle looked at Ma Wen in pain, "What method do you want to use to save me?"
Pa!
Before she could finish her sentence, Marvin had already used the knife to cut open her clothes!
"Ah!" A scream came from the room.
Standing outside the door, Gru gritted his teeth and resisted the urge, but in the end, he did.
It took a full hour, and Lyle's various screams came from inside.
Later, her voice even became hoarse.
The veins on Gru's forehead bulged, and he almost couldn't resist breaking the door many times.
If the double blade mask really did something to his daughter …
He couldn't imagine what would happen to him.
At this moment, the door creaked and opened from the inside.
Double Blade Mask walked out from inside, carrying a person on his shoulder.
"I'm taking this woman with me."
"Your daughter is fine now."
"At most, she's a bit frightened. You just need to comfort her. I think she needs a change of environment. River Beach City hasn't been very peaceful recently, and she's been hanging out with those messy people all day. It's inevitable that she'll be in danger. What do you think? Mr. Gru? "
Gru stared blankly at Lyle, who had fallen asleep on the bed. Although she still looked haggard, she was sleeping peacefully.
One had to know that she had never had a good night's sleep in the past!
"What do you mean, Mr. double blade mask?" Gru suddenly came to a realization.
Ma Wen carried Xin Ni and quickly walked down the stairs, "White River Valley is a good choice."
"The air there is good, and the people are good."
Gru bowed deeply to Ma Wen.
"I understand what you mean."
…
The night grew darker, in an abandoned warehouse.
Hualala!
A basin of water splashed onto Xin Ni's face.
"Tell me where you usually preach or gather."
Ma Wen said coldly.
