When Ryoko Mikado woke up leisurely, the first thing she saw was Yan Kai sitting on the bedside.
"Teacher Ryoko, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Are you still dizzy?"
Yan Kai asked after seeing Mikado Ryoko waking up.
He didn't say any nonsense like "Teacher Ryoko, are you awake?" and directly asked about Ryoko Mikado's physical condition.
Mikado Ryoko rubbed her forehead. Although she was still a little groggy, overall she no longer had the strong dizziness she had before. Then she relaxed and said, "I'm fine, thank you Kai-kun."
She was also an excellent doctor. If the poison hadn't occurred too quickly, she might not have been able to detoxify it. Now that she felt her physical condition, she quickly concluded that her body was fine.
"Really... almost confessed..."
Ryoko Mikado sat up from the medical bed with support.
She is also a master of poison, but she almost fell into poison today.
"Teacher Ryoko, you'd better sleep for a while longer. I've helped you resolve the poison, but your physical strength still needs to be restored slowly."
Yan Kai said to Mikado Ryoko.
"Physical strength? Yes, speaking of which, I do feel very tired, as if I had just run a marathon..."
Mikado Ryoko frowned and asked, would poisoning be such a reaction? Doesn't it seem like that? And judging by the light in the room, it shouldn't have been long since she fainted. Where did this strong feeling of exhaustion come from?
"Teacher Liangzi, although I know you are just describing how tired you are, I still want to say that with your physical ability, which is slightly better than that of my senior sister, running a thousand meters is enough for you to lie down. You don't need to run a marathon. of."
Yan Kai said half-jokingly.
Mikado Ryoko's eyelids twitched: "Kai-kun, if you do this, my gratitude to you will disappear."
There are people who say that, but you also insulted Shiyu by the way, right?
"It's best if we break up. I don't need this kind of thing in the first place."
Yan Kai smiled.
After listening to Yan Kai's words, Mikado Ryoko also laughed. Of course she would not hate Yan Kai just because of a joke, but she felt much more relaxed.
After laughing, Mikado Ryoko asked Yan Kai: "Kaijun, what happened to me just now?"
Yan Kai did not speak, but picked up a pair of black stockings from the bedside and placed them in front of Ryoko Mikado.
Picking up the black stockings with a hole in them, Mikado Ryoko looked at Yan Kai with strange eyes: "Kai-kun, you are...even though we are so familiar with each other, taking off the stockings of a comatose woman is a perverted act. oh!"
These stockings were still on her legs just now, and they even carried a trace of her body temperature.
Yan Kai's face darkened: "Teacher Liangzi, don't take revenge so quickly!"
He knew that Mikado Ryoko was joking and was retaliating against him for saying she had poor physical strength.
Mikado Ryoko covered her mouth and smiled softly: "Who let Kaijun talk to me first!"
After laughing, Mikado Ryoko's expression turned serious, and she said, "Is it really because of these stockings?"
"Did Mr. Ryoko notice it too?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Well, my memory is not that bad. I remembered it when I heard you talk about "Celestial Silkworm Divine Art" and "Celestial Silkworm Demonic Art" before. Black silk is poisonous!"
Ryoko Mikado nodded.
"Teacher Ryoko, you refined it too much. I almost didn't guess what you were talking about."
Yan Kai smiled bitterly.
Yan Kai was confused when he first received Mikado Ryoko's message. Fortunately, he believed that Mikado Ryoko was not the kind of woman who wouldn't mess around. Even if she occasionally teased people, she would choose a scale that was acceptable to both parties. This is mature woman.
Based on this understanding, Yan Kai also quickly remembered what he had told her about the "Celestial Silkworm Art". At that time, Ryoko Mikado had asked Yan Kai this question, but it was a question at the time, but this time it became an affirmation sentence, so Yan Kai guessed that something must have happened to Ryoko Mikado.
Sure enough, when he rushed to the infirmary, he saw Ryoko Mikado unconscious on the ground, and quickly helped her to the bed to use her energy to remove toxins. After the toxins were removed, Yan Kai found a big hole in one of Ryoko Mikado's stockings, and Yan Kai clearly remembered that when he helped Mikado Ryoko to bed, the stockings were intact.
After contacting the message Ryoko Mikado sent just now, Yan Kai could only take off Teacher Mikado's torn stockings to check, and cover her with the quilt.
After carefully inspecting the torn stockings (the picture was too perverted to be played), Yan Kai determined that the problem was with the stockings. Although there was only one problem, Yan Kai felt a different smell from the stockings.
Note, it's the breath, not the smell. Yan Kai didn't smell the stockings.
This breath made Yan Kai feel a little familiar, a bit like... Esdeath who was blessed by the inner power of the Yin Miao sacred object!
Just when Yan Kai was about to conduct a more in-depth examination (?), Mikado Ryoko slowly woke up. Yan Kai put the stockings aside and planned to ask about Mikado Ryoko's situation first.
"But didn't Kaijun guess it in the end?" Mikado Ryoko said with a smile, "I had no choice at the time. After taking out my phone, I found that I didn't even have the strength to speak. I could only tell you the key information in the shortest possible language. .”
Mikado Ryoko was also afraid that Yan Kai would not be able to find out her condition, so she specifically pointed out the reason for her poisoning.
"By the way, where is Teacher Esdeath? She said she was a little sleepy before and wanted to come to your place to rest for a while. Where is she?"
Yan Kai asked.
There was the aura of Esdeath (after demonization) on the stockings, and Esdeath said she was coming to the infirmary to rest, so why didn't he feel Esdeath's presence?
"Teacher Esdeath? Didn't she sleep on that bed? Speaking of which, I made a lot of noise when I fell, but Teacher Esdeath actually ignored me. How outrageous!"
Mikado Ryoko was a little angry.
The stockings were poisoned. Mikado Ryoko believed that Esdeath was unintentional, so she did not blame Esdeath, but she heard the sound of her falling and ignored her, which made Mikado Ryoko feel a little cold. They were separated by a curtain, only a few meters apart, so she didn't believe that Esdeath couldn't feel it. Now that Yan Kai was here, she remained silent. Was it because she felt guilty and was pretending to be asleep?
"Teacher Esdeath is in bed?"
Yan Kai was stunned, and he immediately walked to the medical bed pointed by Mikado Ryoko and pulled the curtain around the medical car.
The curtain opened, and what was revealed was not the fragrant beauty of Begonia sleeping in spring, but an existence that looked like a mummy and could not help but be creepy.
The only difference from a mummy is that the mummy-like object in front of you is wrapped in black silk instead of cloth strips.
This black silk stocking is a bit scary...
What made Yan Kai frown even more was that the object in front of him was dim and breathless. It was no wonder that Yan Kai could not feel the presence of anyone other than Ryoko Mikado in the infirmary just now.
"Kaijun, what is this?"
Ryoko Mikado was also startled. She never knew that such a thing was sleeping next to her. What about Teacher Esdeath?
"Of course this is Teacher Esdeath."
Yan Kai was much calmer than Ryoko Mikado. It should be said that he was mentally prepared when he saw the black stockings.
"Teacher Esdeath? How could she become like this!"
Ryoko Mikado was even more surprised. How could a living person become the same as a mummy?
"It's the "Celestial Silkworm Demonic Art"."
Yan Kai stopped Ryoko Mikado who got off the bed and wanted to get closer to observe: "Don't come close, Teacher Ryoko, you don't want to faint like before, right?"
Hearing Yan Kai's reminder, Mikado Ryoko immediately calmed down: "You mean these black threads and the small piece of black thread that made me coma are the same thing?"
"That's right, that's why Teacher Esdeath used these black silks to repair your stockings, because she doesn't think these black silks are dangerous, of course, only to her."
Yan Kai said to Mikado Ryoko.
"There is no danger to Teacher Esdeath, but what about others?"
Ryoko Mikado asked.
"That's very poisonous."
Yan Kai said calmly, then thought about it and shook his head slightly: "No, this is not poison."
"It's not poison, what is it?"
Ryoko Mikado said doubtfully.
Yan Kai did not answer Mikado Ryoko immediately, but stretched out his hand to touch Esdeath.
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Yan Kai felt that just a little while later, the black silk on Esdeath's body became thicker, and even the general image of the human body began to become blurry.
After reaching out and touching the black silk on Esdeath's body, Yan Kai immediately retracted his hand as if he was electrocuted.
He raised his hand to his eyes and his fingertips were red, as if he had been burned or scalded.
"Kaijun, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Yan Kai acting like this, Mikado Ryoko couldn't help but expressed concern.
"I'm fine." Yan Kai shook his head, and then continued, "I probably know what's going on with Teacher Esdeath."
"What's wrong with Esdeath-sensei?" Ryoko Mikado asked, "I was a little worried when she said she was very tired in the past few days, but she said she knew it as a martial arts practitioner and asked me not to worry about it. , I didn’t ask any more questions, but looking at Teacher Esdeath’s current appearance, it’s obvious that something is wrong! Isn’t she obsessed?”
Yan Kai closed the curtain, and Esdeath, who was wrapped in black, looked strange, but it was better not to look at it.
"I seem to have mentioned to you before that the 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' contained in the sacred objects of the Yin Miao Tribe was absorbed by Teacher Esdeath."
Yan Kai said to Mikado Ryoko.
"Um."
Ryoko Mikado nodded.
As a person related to the incident, she also helped Yan Kai and the others to inquire about information and contact acquaintances to send the Lu family and his daughter to the dock. Ryoko Mikado played a great role in this incident. She should know the entire process of the incident, so Yan Kai will Everything that happened in "Suigetsu Palace" was told to Mikado Ryoko, and Mikado Ryoko also took it as a story with relish.
"I thought that those 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' were partly lost naturally over hundreds of years, and partly squandered by Teacher Esdeath, but now it seems that I was naive, and I didn't understand it from the beginning. The essence of 'Celestial Silkworm Qi'."
Yan Kai sighed.
"So you know now?"
Mikado Ryoko was very curious.
Yan Kai nodded: "My dad told me before that the "Celestial Silkworm Art" is alive. At that time, I didn't understand its meaning. I just thought it was a description. But after really coming into contact with the "Celestial Silkworm Qi"... no. , to be precise, it was the 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' spawned by the "Celestial Silkworm Demonic Art", and then I realized that it turned out that the "Celestial Silkworm Art" was not an internal skill, but a Gu technique!"
"Gu magic?"
Ryoko Mikado was surprised.
"Yes, "Celestial Silkworm Art" is a Gu technique. The "Celestial Silkworm Qi" you practice is naturally not an internal force, but a Gu. Of course the Gu is alive!"
Yan Kai nodded.
"This, how is this possible?"
Yan Kai's words were so contrary to common sense in martial arts that even a layman like Ryoko Mikado would find it unbelievable.
"Voodoo is a technology that refines something to make it controlled by people. Snakes, insects, rats, ants, and even bacteria, viruses, and microorganisms can all be refined into voodoo. There is no reason why the internal power cannot be used."
Yan Kai explained, then continued his reasoning.
"I used to wonder what kind of martial arts can be created by combining martial arts and Gu magic. The two should be unrelated things. Now it seems that the elder of the demon sect used the inner power as a Gu to practice, and he created It's not martial arts, it's an unprecedented Gu art! Thinking about it this way, it makes sense that the 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' can be preserved on a diamond for such a long time without dissipating. Instead, it changes the color of the diamond. It makes sense, this 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' is alive! It was dormant in the diamond before, came into contact with my inner power, and then revived, and then actively chose Teacher Esdeath as its host. During the fight with me, it kept invading Teacher Esdeath's body, and finally took root in Teacher Esdeath's body."
"Now, it is constantly growing itself and changing Teacher Esdeath's body. Teacher Esdeath's current state is to transform into a cocoon. Each time she transforms into a cocoon, Teacher Esdeath's body will be more adapted to the 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' , let this saying about the body better serve the 'Celestial Silkworm True Qi'."
Yan Kai looked deeply at the curtain, or rather at Teacher Esdeath who was beginning to turn into a cocoon behind the curtain.
"Does Teacher Esdeath know about these changes in her?"
Ryoko Mikado asked.
"Of course she knows, otherwise why would she come to the infirmary to sleep?" Yan Kai said with certainty, "I was a little strange before, why there is a rest room in the activity room, but Teacher Esdeath chose to go far away. She came to the infirmary because she was afraid that I would find her turning into a cocoon."
"Well, Kaijun, what will you do to Teacher Esdeath?"
Mikado Ryoko looked at Yan Kai worriedly.
Although Esdeath had just made her unconscious once, she didn't hate Esdeath at all. On the contrary, she was a little afraid that Yan Kai would be detrimental to Esdeath. After all, looking at Esdeath now, wasn't it? What are the so-called evil ways of the Central Plains people!
"Teacher Liangzi, you are overthinking. I will not harm others just because they practice any martial arts, even if that person practices magic arts."
Yan Kai said.
Just as Mikado Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief, Yan Kai continued: "But the reason why magic skills are called magic skills is not just the relationship between sects, but the practice of many magic skills is based on harming others and benefiting oneself, such as this "Celestial Silkworm Magic Art", Teacher Liangzi, you thought you were poisoned just now, but in fact you were not. Your vitality was absorbed by that layer of black silk, so you will be so tired after you wake up. This is because of your vitality. sucked away by the silk.”
"The weird way of practicing is not the reason why "Celestial Silkworm Demonic Skills" is called a magical skill. The reason why "Celestial Silkworm Demonic Skills" is called a magical skill is because it uses human life force as nourishment to grow and thrive, especially when practicing martial arts. Human internal strength is its best supplement. In order to obtain more nutrients, the 'Celestial Silkworm Qi' will distort the host's mind, turning the host into a cold-blooded, cruel, tyrannical and unscrupulous demon who kills everyone to provide it with Nutrient for growth, if Teacher Esdeath reaches this point, then I have to... eliminate demons and defend the way!"
Yan Kai looked at Ryoko Mikado seriously.
"So, please don't go to this point. Can you promise me? Teacher Esdeath!"
Yan Kai turned his head and looked at the medical bed hidden by the curtain.
After a long time, a long sigh came from behind the curtain: "Hey, classmate Yan Kai, I really can't hide it from you..."
