Chapter 50
"I've tried it, and it's both sour and sweet, appetizing and filling. It's delicious and won't damage your teeth.
Just in case, I used prayer to find out that it's not poisonous at all and can be eaten after being roasted."
Xiao Mai walked back to Green and sat down, putting the fruits beside him, and picked a good one and threw it into the fire.
The flames crackled, and the fruit rolled in the flames, and the surface quickly turned a caramel color.
With a whoosh, the skin of the fruit cracked, spilling a little pink juice. The flesh inside was very soft, and at first glance, it looked like a mixture of strawberries and tomatoes.
An alluring sweet aroma spread in the darkness.
"Do you think the taste seems a little wrong?"
Green looked at Xiao Mai and asked.
"It seems to be a little bit, then I'll throw it out."
Xiaomai's face turned red.
He picked up a branch from the side and tried to pick out the fruit from the fire with the sharp side of the branch, but his arm was shaking and he couldn't hold the branch.
The branch fell to the ground. He realized that something was wrong, so he let go of his hand and looked at his palm. With tears in his eyes, he said to Green: "Oh no, this fruit seems to have other uses."
It can't be eaten for the time being.
"Maybe it's just that it's burned by the fire, so it's not good to eat it now. The ones that haven't been burned by the fire can still be eaten?"
Green asked.
"I don't know. The magic tells me that eating these things is not poisonous. That is to say, if this thing will cause some other side effects to people, the magic can't tell me."
Xiao Mai's face was completely red, his eyes were red, and tears fell from his eyes in big drops.
He tugged at his clothes, and felt that it was not enough, so he simply ripped open his collar. A gust of wind blew in from outside, and the hairs on his skin stood up. He should feel very cold.
But he still said it was very hot.
"It seems that something is wrong."
He looked down at his pants and closed his legs.
"I know what's wrong. I need some water. Sorry, I'll go out for a while."
He jumped up and rushed out and soon disappeared.
Green sat in the darkness, watching his figure disappear from his sight. Hearing a splash, he guessed that he probably jumped into the water not far away to clear his mind.
Green closed his eyes.
His body did not need to eat or rest, and would not have normal physiological reactions. Theoretically, it was just like a piece of clothing.
Although he also felt very hot, this feeling would soon disappear because he was sure that the fruit would soon turn black and inedible and would no longer emit any odor.
He gradually fell asleep.
When he woke up again, the fire had gone out, and he found himself lying on Xiaomai's back.
"Are you awake?"
"Where are we going?"
"To the nearest town I know, where there are doctors and priests. If you are sick, the doctor can treat you, and if you are dying, the priest can show you the way."
"I don't want to go."
"Be obedient, you must stay alive with me."
"The same goes for you looking for others."
"But others won't be willing, and I don't like them either. I hate them all, just like they hate me."
"Don't I hate you?"
"I think the fact that you haven't killed me now is the best proof."
"Why do you think so? Do other people want to kill you when they see you?"
"Some people do think so, and they do so, so I ran away. But some people don't, but they are no better than you. So I can't abandon you."
"What did those who didn't kill you do?"
"After they saw me, they slammed the door. Some of them threw rotten vegetable leaves at me and called me a beggar or a vagrant, someone who got something for nothing, or a waste."
When Xiao Mai said these words, his face turned a little dark, and his chest seemed to be pressed by a stone. His voice was very low, and only Green could hear it.
Green responded, closed his eyes, and fell into a coma again because of sleepiness.
When he woke up again, he was lying on the bed. He was a little confused at first, but as time went by, he gradually woke up, opened his eyes, and came back to his senses.
He found that Xiao Mai was stripping his clothes.
"I think this is not very polite."
Green reminded Xiao Mai.
"You are from the God Slayer Base."
Xiao Mai's voice trembled.
He had already determined that this was a fact, so there was no doubt in his words.
Although from his expression, he seemed reluctant to accept this fact.
"Yeah, you saw the mark they gave me. Do you have anything to say?"
Green asked.
"I thought we could be good friends, but how can you be one of them? Do you know how notorious they are? Do you know how many people hate them? Do you know
how precarious we would be if your identity was known to others? It's already difficult to survive, and you have such an identity. What should I do?"
Xiao Mai pulled his clothes back and asked a little angrily.
"You can throw me away."
Green said tentatively and joked.
"If you keep talking like that, I'll be really angry. Do you think I'm an ungrateful villain, or do you think too little of yourself? You're a good person, you shouldn't underestimate yourself."
Xiao Mai stared at Green with his red eyes.
"What should I do?"
Green closed his eyes and answered.
"Anyway, I won't give up on you."
Xiaomai licked his cracked lips nervously and said.
"I will be very grateful to you."
Green said.
"The doctor told me that your body has been transformed. Because a part of your body cannot be exposed to the aura of that fruit, you have become like this.
I am very sorry.
But the doctor also told me that as long as you are willing to accept the transformation again, your body will return to normal. Are
you willing to participate in the transformation?"
Xiaomai asked Green while pulling him.
"Do you want me to participate?"
Green asked.
"I hope you can live a long time to accompany me. I hope you will participate."
Xiaomai said as if he had made up his mind.
"Then I will participate."
Green replied.
"Before the doctor comes, do you have anything else to tell me?"
Xiaomai asked.
"If possible, remember to give me a lot of painkillers."
Green said.
"I'll remember that. I'll tell the doctor."
Xiao Mai nodded.
After that, Green underwent transformation. Although his body returned to normal, some malfunctions would occur from time to time, just like a machine that has lost lubricating oil to relieve wear.
He doesn't make the sound of "kabakaba", but he has no feeling below his legs today, and can only travel in a wheelchair for the time being. The doctor said that he will be back to normal tomorrow.
They just need to wait for time to pass.
"Okay, doctor, I'll be with him all day."
Xiao Mai said to the doctor.
The doctor nodded, turned and left.
"Is there anywhere you want to go?"
Xiao Mai asked.
"There's no particular place I want to go. Let's just take a walk in the garden. Anyway, I can't run today."
Green replied.
"Don't you want to ask me how I'm doing recently?"
Xiao Mai asked.
"So how have you been recently?"
Green asked.
"The days without you are a bit boring, but now that you are awake, I think it will be more interesting in the future."
Xiao Mai answered.
"You seem to have a lot of things to do recently, what are you doing?"
Green was curious.
"Your body has been modified, so I want to study the matter of body modification.
The doctor has seen you and said that the life span of your body will not be very long. I also want to change your body in the future. Do
you like the same one or a different one?
You can customize it now.
I won't charge you extra money.
But if you don't choose it well and it doesn't fit, don't blame me, I will change it when I have time. Don't be angry. OK?"
Xiao Mai asked.
"You can give me a body for free, how can I not be happy? It's great."
Green smiled.
A colorful butterfly fluttered and landed in the pistil of a flower in front of Green, and stopped with a trembling of its wings.
This butterfly landed in the flower, just like a specimen nailed to the wall, it's pretty.
Green took a closer look.
"Do you like butterflies? I'll have someone raise a butterfly in the laboratory someday, you can go and see it anytime you want, what do you think?"
Xiao Mai looked at the butterfly and asked Green.
"Very good, but isn't it inappropriate to raise butterflies in the laboratory?"
Green asked.
"There's nothing inappropriate about it. The laboratory can adjust an environment that is most suitable for butterflies to survive and ensure that butterflies can survive and reproduce normally.
If you don't want them to live, you can make them all into specimens, so they can be preserved for a long time.
If you don't have high requirements for completeness and beauty, you can also store the butterfly's body in the way of bacon. Although it will change its appearance and color, it can still be considered preserved.
You don't seem to like it, so forget it, I'm just talking."
Xiao Mai smiled.
"I won't be angry about this. I know you are just talking. Even if you really do it, it doesn't matter. I don't like butterflies that much, and I won't quarrel with you for butterflies.
You are much more important to me than butterflies.
Because you are much more important to me than butterflies.
I thought you knew this a long time ago and kept me here.
If it wasn't because of this, did you keep me here because you need to develop your transformation business and keep a standard transformation example for other guests to watch at any time?"
Green tilted his head and looked at Xiaomai.
Xiaomai suddenly became nervous and didn't know where to put his hands and feet for a while.
He blushed and explained: "I don't regard you as a stepping stone for my career, nor do I want to exhibit you to others. You are not porcelain in a museum. Why should I treat you like that?
I keep you here just because I hope you will accompany me."
Xiaomai said.
