Chapter 1412 Millicent
The insects' mouthparts collided wildly, making a snapping sound.
Heather couldn't tell what its inner emotions were from its face that looked more like insects than people. Maybe it was too excited to see the handsome guy?
He gestured with his fingers for a long time, from the tentacles on the insect man's head to the sticky silk secreted by it, but he still didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only spread his hands towards Rebecca:
"Lady first."
Rebecca didn't mind. She happily picked up a piece of silk and carried it on her shoulder. She followed Heather closely, carrying the cocoon, which was two times larger than her body, like she was dragging a sack.
The closer the two got to the church ruins, the more they could feel an inexplicable force lingering in it.
"Wow, it feels like my gun is going to rust. The scarlet corruption here is so intense."
Rebecca stuck out her tongue. The scarlet corruption in this world was very strange. It not only corroded flesh and blood, but also slowly eroded the earth, stones, and steel. It was as if everything was being transformed into rotten pus.
Walking into the church, there were rotten flowers and fungi everywhere. There was a small candle in the corner, and a curled up black shadow was hiding in the corner, motionless, with only the suppressed sound of slightly painful breathing.
As soon as he saw that figure, the insect man that Rebecca was dragging immediately struggled desperately, as if he wanted to break through the cocoon and worship the figure.
"Oh, stop making so much noise! If you move again I'll shoot you, okay?" Rebecca impatiently took out her pistol and pointed it at the insect man's head.
The sounds of talking and struggling woke up the dark figure curled up in the corner.
The black shadow moved slightly, and a weak but pleasant female voice came out:
"Yes, who is there..."
Heather took a few steps forward and finally saw the figure clearly.
In the corner of the church, a red-haired girl was leaning weakly against the wall, her short red hair falling on her shoulders and covering most of her face.
She covered her right shoulder with her left hand, and one could see that there was nothing below her right shoulder. The broken part was stained with blood, staining the dirty swordsman's outfit red.
The strong scarlet corruptive force was spreading outward continuously with the red-haired girl as the center, but the girl was trying her best to control it within her body.
The red-haired girl raised her head with great effort, and happened to see Heather's perfect face like the sun god. She was slightly startled, and then lowered her head in shame.
But a warm and strong index finger rested on her chin, lifting the girl's head up again, forcing her to look Heather in the eye.
At this moment, the scarlet corruption in her body surged with an unprecedented wave. She was tortured by the pain and gritted her teeth and cried out in pain. Then she said weakly:
"...No matter who you are, please leave me alone.
The scarlet corruption within me is growing and spreading... This is a curse, not something that ordinary people should touch.
For your own good, please stay away from me... woo!"
As if reacting to the dazzling man in front of her, the scarlet corruption in the red-haired girl's body became more and more violent, as if it was trying to force its way out of her body.
"Shh..."
Just as the girl closed her eyes and clenched her teeth in agony, a warm hand stroked her head, and the soothing voice made her feel as comfortable as a fire in winter.
"What a good boy! Take a nap and the pain will go away when you wake up."
It’s strange to say, the red-haired girl was originally tortured by the pain and couldn’t rest at all, but after hearing the man’s voice, coupled with the warm big hand slowly caressing her head, the red-haired girl actually gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at the red-haired girl in front of her who curled up unconsciously even when she fell asleep, Heather stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.
Rebecca kicked the bug man unconscious, then slid over to Heather, sizing up the red-haired girl and making a clicking sound:
"You are using dream concepts to hypnotize a strange girl. Brother, you are going too far. And you are planning to capture this girl, right? Have you forgotten the bet that Big Sister made with you?"
"What did you see? You saw nothing."
Heather glanced at Rebecca:
"I'll give you a crystal. In the next world, I'll give you a spot to act alone. You can use the crystal to locate yourself in the high-tech world. I'll also lend you the Reality Gem and the Power Gem."
"Really? Playing tricks is like playing puppies!"
Rebecca raised her little fist in delight.
Heather gave her a fist bump, and Rebecca immediately ran over to the bug-man and dragged it out of the church.
After Rebecca and the insect man left the church, Heather squatted down in front of the red-haired girl and whispered, "Can it be purified?"
Moshi appeared beside Heather. She lifted up the silver hair that fell by her ears and leaned down to look at the red-haired girl:
"Scarlet Corruption is one of the 'laws' of this world, and it is the power of the Scarlet Corruption Goddess.
It can be suppressed but not completely cured. She has the seeds of corruption in her body.
If it is forcibly removed, the child will die immediately.
Whether he can fight against the Scarlet Corruption and defeat it completely depends on how strong his willpower is. "
"Then I'll leave it to you. Please suppress the corruption first." Heather stood up and made way.
Moshi leaned over and stretched out his hand, touching the red-haired girl's forehead with his white fingers.
The next moment, the golden glow illuminated the entire church.
..............................
Millicent felt like she was having a dream, or rather, four dreams.
In every dream, she has a different identity, but the same sisters.
Sometimes, she is the eldest sister, Mary.
Sometimes, she is the second sister Jasmine.
Sometimes, she is the third sister Amy.
Sometimes, she is the fourth sister Millicent.
Sometimes, she is Pollyanna, the youngest sister.
Each sister was ravaged by the scarlet corruption, losing different parts of her body.
The sisters except Millicent complained, hated and were hostile to each other, but finally reached an agreement -
We want to make the scarlet corruption bloom like a flower!
What's the point of fighting it for so long? Millicent expressed a different opinion.
Then, she felt the other four sisters looking at her at the same time. Even though their eyes were corroded by scarlet corruption, Millicent could still feel the gloom and hostility in their gazes.
【Then you are no longer our sister. 】
"No!"
Millicent opened her eyes suddenly and found herself sleeping in the corner of the church.
It’s too dangerous. If I relax the suppression of the scarlet corruption in my sleep, then... huh?
She sat up, raised her left hand in front of her eyes in surprise, and then touched her face and body in a daze.
Has the corruption that spread from within to outside disappeared?
What happened before she fell asleep? She only remembered that a very handsome man walked into the church, stroked her hair and said something, and then she fell asleep.
"Oh, you're awake."
Hearing the sound, Millicent immediately looked towards the open space in the middle of the church.
The handsome man was sitting in front of the campfire fiddling with something. He continued without turning his head:
"Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."
Click! Click! Millicent only heard the sound of the buckles snapping together, and then the man threw a black shadow towards her: "Try it and see if it fits."
Millicent caught it with some panic and found that it was a beautifully made prosthetic right arm.
"The scarlet corruption in your body has been temporarily suppressed, but your hand cannot grow. Considering that a prosthetic limb can also be considered a weapon, I made one for you."
Heather stood up from the campfire and dusted off her trousers.
"You can call it——[Star Sea Prosthetic Hand]."
