Facing the multiple-choice questions given by the boss,

Without any hesitation, Yi Chen took a step forward and stepped into the 'sister's room'.

Tikka~

There was a strange pressing feeling from the sole of the shoe, and there were strange sounds.

Because this foot stepped directly on the fish scales on the ground.

this moment,

Smell and sight receive the "impact" from the room at the same time.

This was an almost real stench that penetrated into Yi Chen's body like a living stick, constantly beating his stomach.

between visions,

Pieces of fish scales were piled all over the ground, and some of them had even taken root on the damp floor, as if the fish scales had grown on their own in this room.

If it were Yi Chen who had just arrived in this world, he would definitely protest against the scene in front of him by vomiting.

Gajigaji~

Place your fingers on the side of your face,

Quickly make a plant mask,

"Phew! I can finally breathe normally... This place is really disturbing."

The sound came from the bathroom.

The boss seemed to be performing some kind of 'treatment' on his sister, as a large amount of blood seeped out from the crack in the door.

Before stepping into the bathroom,

Yi Chen tilted his head towards the corner of the room and noticed an important and special detail in the room.

There is a desk made of logs in the corner.

The walls around the desk are covered with fish scales, as is the floor.

But the desk itself remained clean amidst such filth, without a single fish scale or even damp plaque.

It seems that the wooden table is very important to my sister, and she cleans it every day.

There are some photo frames on the table.

Includes family photos, as well as photos of my sister and brother.

The younger sister in the photo has curly black hair, and it can be seen that she has a very good relationship with her older brother.

Such a scene was silently remembered by Yi Chen,

Crunch~

Turn around and push open the slightly ajar bathroom door,

A terrible picture came into view.

This bathroom is larger than other rooms and also has a bathtub.

My sister is lying inside the bathtub,

Her limbs were tightly secured by the restraints between the bathtubs,

Compared with the image last night,

My sister has become more "human"... to be precise, it should be that the fish scales on her body have been greatly reduced.

only,

These fleshy fish scales do not fall off on their own;

Instead, the boss pulled out his body piece by piece and scattered them inside and outside the bathtub.

at this moment,

My sister's screams were already very small,

Severe pain accompanied by massive bleeding, and loss of life...

Almost no more struggling,

There was no trace of blood on the thin cheeks with fish gills.

Currently, there are still fish scales on both sides of the abdomen that have not been removed. According to visual inspection, there are more than 40 pieces. The situation is not optimistic.

Before the boss could speak, Yi Chen spoke up first.

"boss,

Your sister is evolving towards the "third stage" of the disease, right? The situation doesn't seem to be good, can you let me take a look?"

These words surprised the boss very much.

Unexpectedly, this young man who had stayed at the hotel for just over a day had already found out the stage of "ichthyosis".

Nod slightly and acquiesce.

Yi Chen carefully placed it next to the bathtub,

Although he did not have a medical background and did not know much about the relevant knowledge, the plants in his body could feel the passage of vitality.

"Boss, pull out all the remaining scales, right?"

"Um."

After getting permission from the boss,

Yi Chen gently placed his palm on his 'sister''s abdomen and touched the surface of the fish scales.

New and soft roots stick to the gaps between the fish scales and penetrate under the skin.

The root tips release a natural tissue fluid with healing properties.

Then slowly and gently pick out the fish scales,

It can reduce the amount of bleeding, and there is almost no pain... and even some itching.

The only drawback is that the efficiency is slightly low and the speed is slow.

Yi Chen not only carefully picked up the fish scales on his abdomen,

At the same time, he put his other hand on the spot where heavy bleeding occurred on his sister's body and braided the roots to stop the bleeding.

During this process,

The younger sister opened her black jewel-like eyes and stared at the tenant in front of her.

The boss just stood aside quietly.

At this time,

Little Grape's voice sounded in my consciousness.

"Hey! Do you know what you are doing?"

What you have in front of you is an "infected person".

Once she successfully sheds her scales, she will successfully overcome the infection process and transform into a [patient] with perfect consciousness.

This is the main culprit that causes disease and ruin in this world!

They will instinctively hate non-infected people, and their desires will drive them to invade and occupy your body."

"If they really wanted to take action, they would have done so last night.

Moreover, from the moment I stepped into the bathroom, the boss also had many opportunities to take action.

I still don’t quite understand what this world is all about,

I just integrated and analyzed the information inferred by my brain from what I observed in front of me, and came to a conclusion that was useful to me ~ I thought [rescue] was necessary.

Once a mutually supportive relationship can be established,

Maybe we can get some key clues from it, allowing us to directly get to know the truth about the town and the mastermind behind it, and pass the organization's assessment with high scores."

"I really doubt whether your kid is a creature of this world.

Your approach may cause dissatisfaction among some humans...but it's quite interesting.』

Little Putao said no more and silently observed the boss's every move.

that's all,

Like a major surgery,

Eight hours passed until the last scale was pulled out by the roots.

It was already noon the next day,

Wow wow~

The boss turned on the faucet in the bathtub and soaked the sister in it.
To be continued...
