I didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the door's shaking became quieter and quieter and the thing behind the door seemed to have given up.
As soon as my tense nerves relaxed, I felt a sharp pain in my arm, and I felt a little dizzy. Suddenly, I fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
"Are you hurt?" Qin Lan was the first to notice my wound. She screamed and looked at my arm with her eyes wide open.
My consciousness was a little slow, and it took me a while to look down at my arm. The clothes outside my arm had been cut, so I simply tore off the entire sleeve, revealing the hideous wound inside, which was gradually turning purple.
The entire wound was five inches long, with the skin and flesh rolled up and the bone visible. Most importantly, it was poisonous.
Purple-black blood kept gushing out of the wound. The blood, which should have been warm, made me feel a piercing chill, and my whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The next moment, my arm was suddenly grabbed. I looked up suddenly and saw Jack staring at the wound on my arm with a frown on his face. He asked, "Are you hurt by it?"
I nodded, looking at Jack's eyes which darkened in an instant, and felt the wound on my arm hurt even more.
Just when the scorpion's poisonous hook was about to sting Jack, I pushed him. It was this push that caused the hook to hook his arm. Before I could feel the pain, I pulled Qin Lan and hid inside.
"What do you feel?" Jack's tone was a little low, and his eyes were extremely cold when he looked at the wound on my arm.
I know he was a little angry because I was injured while saving him. Jack is a proud man and of course he doesn't want to be a burden to others.
In fact, I no longer feel the pain in the wound on my arm. I don’t know if it’s because of the numbness or the poison, but I just feel dizziness from time to time, and my vision goes black. It seems that the strength in my body is being sucked out bit by bit by a pair of invisible big hands.
"I just feel a little dizzy." I smiled and said nonchalantly.
"You, you, you..." As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Qin Lan pointing at my face with disbelief, her eyes full of horror.
I was startled and felt something wet under my nose. I frowned and raised my hand to wipe it. When I looked in front of my eyes, I saw that my hands were covered in blood.
"It's just a nosebleed, don't make a fuss!" I pulled my lips stiffly, trying to comfort her.
However, my comfort had no effect. The fear on Qin Lan's face grew more and more, and even Jack frowned.
I pursed my lips and was about to speak when I felt an itch on my ear. I raised my hand to touch it and felt a cold wetness again.
My heart trembled violently, and I put my hand in front of my eyes again, and what I saw was bright red again.
My heart sank.
I knew very well that this was a symptom of bleeding from all seven orifices, starting with the nose, then the ears, then the eyes, and then vomiting blood.
At this moment, any words of comfort seem pale and powerless, so I simply stopped talking.
Silence spread in the quiet laboratory, carrying a suffocating smell.
I don't know how long it took, but I finally couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground. My mind started to blur out, and I could hear Qin Lan's scream in my ears, breaking the silence: "Be careful——"
"Jack, is there any way to save him?" Qin Lan ran up to me and supported me, letting me lean in her arms, then turned to Jack and asked anxiously.
Jack lowered his head, and his facial expression could not be seen. After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to have made a major decision. He suddenly stood up and searched the entire laboratory. Finally, he found a small jar in a hidden cabinet.
The jar was completely black and emitted a faint sweet scent that was very intoxicating.
I frowned at the jar in his hand and asked with some difficulty, "What...is this?"
Jack frowned and looked at me, then slowly opened the jar, and I saw two insects, one red and one green, crawling inside. They looked extremely beautiful.
I pursed my lips in confusion and looked at Jack in confusion.
Jack seemed to see my confusion, lowered his eyes to look at the two bugs in the jar and explained, "These are not bugs, they are also Gu."
insanity?
I have heard of Gu. In many areas, especially in Miaojiang, Gu magic is prevalent. Some Gu can control people's minds and turn them into puppets in their hands, while some Gu can even bring the dead back to life. There are many different ways to use Gu.
But those were just rumors after all. I looked at the two bugs in the jar in Jack's hand and frowned fiercely.
I have an inexplicable feeling of unease in my heart.
Generally speaking, the brighter the color of something, the stronger its toxicity is. The same goes for Gu. These two insects, one red and one green, are so brightly colored that I'm afraid they are not easy to deal with.
"This is called the Resurrection Gu. A male and a female are together. The two people who are infected with this Gu must be two people. These two people will have the same lifespan because of this Gu and will be attracted to each other until they die." Jack said again, but his tone began to hesitate.
"And then?" I smiled bleakly, not feeling happy at all.
If this resurrection poison has the power to bring the dead back to life, it must also have the same drawbacks.
Jack gave me a penetrating look, his grip on the jar tightening slightly before he continued, "Anyone infected with this poison must make love once every three days, or else the poison worms will eat away at their heart and cause death from the pain."
I was stunned, thinking that there would be some irreversible disaster, but who knew it would be such a drawback. For a moment I didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Now there are only three of them, and Qin Lan is the only woman. If they want to use this insect, they can only use it on Qin Lan at the same time. However, Qin Lan is not poisoned, so it would be too unfair to use it on her at the same time.
Qin Lan was stunned and looked at me straight, the look in her eyes was unpredictable and hard to understand.
After a long while, she suddenly turned to Jack and asked, "Is there any way to take this thing out?"
Jack was stunned when he heard this, then frowned and said, "No, but if you don't want it, you can transplant the insect to someone else."
Qin Lan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she asked, "How to transplant?"
"After the poison enters the body, it will crawl directly into the heart. If it needs to be transplanted, the poison must be taken out of the heart and implanted into another person's body before it dies." However, this also means that the original host of the poison will no longer have a chance of survival.
Just ask yourself, who can dig a hole in the heart and still survive intact?
Jack had been slightly displeased since Qin Lan first asked him for the solution. His tone was already not very good, and his gaze towards Qin Lan was a little cold. He then warned, "Qin Lan, don't joke with your life. You can refuse."
Everyone knew what Jack meant, and Qin Lan suddenly fell silent.
