Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
But just for a moment.
Yilin soon felt ashamed that just now, her mind was completely blank for a moment, and she believed the words of the young man opposite her.
"Pfft... I didn't realize it. You're pretty good at telling jokes."
"Why, don't you believe it?" Liao Ji asked.
Erin sneered disdainfully.
"Ember Emperor? Do you mean a person who will carefully step over a corpse for fear that the dirt on it will get on his clothes? Or do you mean a person whose breathing rhythm is disrupted after the smell of blood spreads? Or? , a novice who doesn’t even know how to tie up?”
...
Liao Ji admitted that he did seem to underestimate this female scavenger.
The first impression the other party gave him was that of a person with a sweet mouth and a sweet voice.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that many of her subconscious little moves from modern people were still noticed by Yilin.
Perhaps he could guess what Liao Ji was thinking at this moment.
"Hmph, don't underestimate the eyes of our scavengers. After all, they are also people who eat. I am quite accurate when it comes to seeing people. People like you are simply different from those delicate young men from the upper class in the base city. It’s carved from the same mold.”
"Oh, no, I almost forgot. You are better than them. At least you are quite innocent. You are still a virgin whose body will subconsciously stiffen and tense after being touched and approached by the opposite sex."
At the end of the story, Yilin cast a provocative look at Liao Ji, as if she was seeking revenge for what Liao Ji had done to her before.
In this regard, Liao Ji did not intend to defend himself, but just spread his hands helplessly.
"Okay, it's just a joke, but I really come from five hundred years ago, which is what you call the old wasteland era, and I have a close relationship with the Ash Emperor. In the end, for some reason, I was... well , sleeping in this sarcophagus."
Obviously, judging from the expression on the female scavenger's face, at least the first half of his statement was very convincing, making her believe it.
After all, this perfectly explained why I had so many "common sense" questions about the world before.
For Yilin, although a person from five hundred years ago is shocking, it is not unacceptable. After all, there are living examples.
The five personal guards who used to be beside the emperor, who are also the highest people in power in the world today, came from the wasteland of the old era.
This is why there are still many lunatics in the dark, including some big figures in the base city who are still eager to become evildoers. In addition to being powerful, they are also brought about by "turbid evil". , maintain the vitality of the body forever, and extend the life span by hundreds of years.
"I have actually been talking to an antique from five hundred years ago..." Erin murmured.
However, she quickly grasped the key point and hurriedly confirmed to Liao Ji: "You said before that you could control Zhuo'e, and even turn me back into an ordinary person later!?"
"Yes, whether it was the battle just now or the conversation you have with me now, have you felt a trace of the influence of the evil infection? This is the best proof, right?"
After Liao Ji spoke, Yilin fell into memories.
It's not that she has never seen a doomed person. On the contrary, Yilin will never forget the scene "that night" in her life. That's why she is so sure now that what Liao Ji said is not false. She is really like the others. The Doombreaker...is different.
"Okay, let's do the rest of the friendly exchanges after we leave this hellish place first."
Just like Erin said.
Liao Ji couldn't bear it anymore. There were corpses everywhere in the secret room of the cave, and the fishy smell had completely spread.
He walked up to Erin and untied the binding rope.
However, when Liao Ji saw that the female scavenger's windbreaker, which was already in tatters, had been scratched in several places, exposing the bloody wounds underneath, he stopped.
These injuries should have been left by Yilin when she was chasing the kobolds. Although they are not big, and the physical quality of the Doomsdayrs, the wounds have scabbed, but if they are not treated properly, they will still be there more or less. Scars are left on the skin.
As Liao Ji looked, he could see a lot of similar scars on Yilin's body. When Yilin noticed his sight, she didn't seem to care. It seemed that scars were not something worth caring about for scavengers. .
but.
Just give it a try.
After taking a look at [Holy Healing] in the skill bar, Liao Ji concentrated and placed his hand on Yilin's wound. Under the puzzling eyes of the female scavenger, he murmured silently in his heart.
"Holy healing."
In an instant, a burst of pure white light that was shining but not dazzling bloomed from Liao Ji's palm and enveloped the female scavenger.
Erin had never felt that her body had been so warm before, as if she was soaked in spring water. The white light was like a trickle, crossing every inch of her skin.
They took away her fatigue and relaxed her nervous and anxious mood. Her mind went blank, and her spiritual world seemed to be above the clouds.
Immediately afterwards, a numb and slightly itchy feeling came from many places all over her body. This feeling was very strange, like an electric current passing through it, and Yilin couldn't help but want to moan in comfort.
In the real world, we only see the female scavenger bathed in the holy light. Black substances are constantly being squeezed out of her skin. These are impurities and dirt in the human body, but now they are all bathed in the holy light. Disappeared completely.
The whole process didn't last long, only about ten seconds.
But when the light in Liao Ji's hand faded, Yilin's spirit that had drifted into the clouds was pulled back. After returning to reality, not only she, but also Liao Ji was a little surprised.
I saw that under my own [Holy Healing Technique], not only the new wounds of the female scavenger had been completely healed, but even the original old scars had disappeared.
Of course, the most exaggerated thing is...
Erin looked down in disbelief. Her hands were at least white, and then she touched her face. The softness, elasticity, delicateness and smoothness of her skin...
This kind of feeling has never appeared since she lost her father when she was fourteen years old and became a scavenger on the Black Cave Plain.
"you..."
With confusion, confusion and complicated emotions, Erin cast her gaze on the black-haired young man in front of her from five hundred years ago.
And Liao Ji continued to complete his action of untying the female scavenger.
He stretched out his hand towards Yilin, who was still kneeling on the ground.
"Liao Ji, what's my name, what's yours?"
Erin subconsciously wanted to say, didn't you already know this? After seeing so many miraculous things about the young man, she no longer wanted to think about how he knew her name.
But in the end, she took a deep breath.
"Irene."
Then Yilin grabbed Liao Ji's hand and pulled herself up from the ground.
