The treatment is ongoing.
A cloudy yellow liquid flowed from the medicine bottle hanging on the IV stand, slowly being injected into the little girl's body through a translucent IV tube. At the same time, another IV tube was inserted into her other arm, drawing bright red blood from her body.
"What kind of treatment is this?"
Su Bai frowned as he looked at it.
The woman performed all of this with considerable skill, indicating that she had clearly undergone this treatment countless times.
But whether from the perspective of a modern person or a professional potion master, this treatment procedure, which lacks sterilization and basic protective measures, is far too rudimentary and dangerous.
Moreover, this method of administering the IV doesn't look like treatment at all.
It's more like...
Blood transfusion.
Su Bai suddenly realized a core issue that he had been ignoring all along.
What illness does the little girl have?
Ultimately.
Her illness was the key factor that caused all of this to happen.
Su Bai approached the two people, his footsteps echoing clearly in the room, but the two people in front of him ignored him, subconsciously overlooking the stranger who was wandering around the room.
He walked up behind the woman.
Look at the medicine bottle she used to give the little girl an IV drip.
The dark brown medicine bottle had no instructions or labels, making it seem like a substandard product from a small workshop. The smell of blood dripping into the basin from the IV tube overwhelmed everything else, making it difficult for Su Bai to discern the ingredients of the medicine.
He simply reached out and picked up a bottle.
My gaze swept over it.
A line of information immediately appeared before his eyes.
Intravenous plasma
【Props】
[Level: Normal]
[Note: The plasma extracted through a simple purification process can be used for intravenous infusion. However, this product has not undergone rigorous testing, and its use may cause a strong rejection reaction, which could even lead to death.]
...
This is the property of one of the medicines.
Su Bai examined it carefully.
Besides blood plasma, these medications also contain some basic anti-inflammatory drugs and antidotes. The quantity is not large, but if all of these are injected into the body at once, let alone a little girl, even a healthy adult probably wouldn't survive for more than an hour.
But judging from their reactions...
It seems that such severe overdose of intravenous infusions has become commonplace.
From this perspective...
She is probably quite ill.
"Mommy, I feel so bad..." As the IV drip continued, the little girl gradually felt unwell. An abnormal flush appeared on her skin, and she became so weak that her consciousness gradually blurred. She pitifully pleaded with the woman, sobbing softly.
But the woman remained unmoved.
Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, and she kept repeating whispers, as if she were comforting the little girl, or perhaps soothing herself.
“Demi, you must get treatment, for your own sake and for the sake of our whole family…”
In the murmurs.
The little girl lay on the bed and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
The room fell into complete silence, with only the soft echo of blood dripping into the container.
The woman suddenly stood up, removed the nearly empty IV bottle from the stand, replaced it with a new one, and then leaned close to the little girl's face, as if to confirm whether she had truly fainted. The moment she looked up, Su Bai clearly caught a deep trace of resentment on her face.
"Damn monster...!"
Only then did the woman's hidden emotions become unmasked.
Facing her own daughter, she was filled with hatred, her face contorted with rage, her veins bulging as she gripped the sharp syringe tightly, raising it several times, but ultimately putting it back down.
However, this was not because she still harbored a shred of familial affection.
It seems more like it came from...
fear.
While she felt hatred, she was also filled with an inexplicable fear of the little girl, perhaps as she said—the little girl was a monster.
Su Bai was increasingly confused about the complicated relationships within this family.
At this moment.
The woman picked up the container filled with blood and walked out of the room.
The footsteps faded into the distance, it seemed she had really left. Su Bai wanted to follow her to see what she was up to.
However, he stopped when he reached the door.
The little girl is asleep. This is a good opportunity. He can take this chance to search the room carefully and maybe find some important items.
"come out."
Su Bai immediately took control of the demon clone.
But nothing happened.
He glanced down at the space under the bed. The demonic clone had vanished sometime during the night. The empty space under the bed was completely exposed, yet it was as deep and unfathomable as the entrance to an abyss. Once you stepped in, there was no escape.
"It really was a fatal option..."
Su Bai's gaze turned serious.
The second characteristic of the Forgotten Mask is currently in cooldown.
This means...
The demon's clone is now officially dead.
If he hadn't chosen to resist while hiding under the bed, he would probably be one of the countless corpses under the bed by now.
Was this the little girl's goal?
Is she really a monster?
Su Bai was deep in thought.
Hiding under the bed was the option the little girl suggested to him, so if there was a problem, he would definitely suspect her first.
If that's the case, then the woman discovering herself has actually saved herself...
"wrong."
Su Bai quickly shook his head in denial.
The underlying logic of this hypothesis is flawed. Being found in a game of 'hide-and-seek' doesn't mean losing the game and having to start over; it means immediate death. If the little girl hadn't restarted the timeline for him, he would have died on the spot the moment he was discovered.
