Chapter 143 Swallow My Flesh

"By the way, can you share your method of purifying pollution? I was exposed to a lot of pollution today and my head still hurts."

Chloe kicked off her shoes with some complaint and sat cross-legged on the chair. Her orange-red hair was like a quietly burning fireplace in the dim room.

"It's a reasonable request, but I can't do it." Hughes spread his hands. "My ability to purify pollution comes from myself. I don't know why it's like this. Maybe I'm special?"

"What's so special about mortals? Have you ever come into contact with some supernatural power? Have you performed any ceremony?"

"Yes, it's related to the Banshees, but this kind of thing can't be repeated, and it's not convenient for me to disclose anything related to them. You can ask them yourself and see if they are willing to tell you."

What he was actually talking about was the symbiotic contract, but Zeus secretly knew that this purification ability was more likely to come from the Golden Throne.

But there was no way to tell this kind of thing. The strange palace, the body and the ability to descend were his deepest secrets and could not be shared with anyone.

Besides, there was no point in saying it out loud, as he couldn't put Chloe on the golden throne to take his place.

"No way to repeat it?"

"Yes, maybe I'm the only one who can have it."

Well, after all, the Banshee's symbiotic contract has been signed, and there is nothing Chloe can do even if she wants to sign it.

"Then how does this purification work? From the looks of you, you don't need to perform the ritual every time."

"Yes, I can directly purify physical pollution. You should know that I have a lot of pollution stored up, right? Once those things touch me, they will be automatically purified, just like snowflakes falling into my hands."

Chloe showed envy in her eyes: "It's that simple? What's the cost?"

cost?

"It seems like there's no price to pay. I can't touch the pollution, but if I touch it, it will be purified, right?"

"What a price!"

"That seems to be gone."

"Ahhh, I'm so jealous, so jealous, why can't I have this ability, to purify pollution as soon as I touch it, then wouldn't it be possible to read books whenever I want, and study whenever I want!? This would be too happy."

No, not necessarily. Zeus missed the days when he read thick books on Blue Star. Perhaps the more precious something is, the more valuable it is. In a world where learning can be done casually, learning will only make people bored.

"Well, instead of being jealous, why don't you try to think about whether you can focus the pollution on one place on your body. Then I can touch it and maybe I can purify you."

Chloe was stunned: "Is it possible?"

"Anyway, I can purify anything I touch, although I haven't tried it yet."

Chloe thought about it and lifted her hair to reveal her forehead.

"I have a headache, put your hand on me."

Hughes stretched out his hand hesitantly. Chloe threw aside the hairpin and nun's hat on her head, and took Hughes' hand and put it on.

“Is it effective?”

"It seems to be getting better. Wait, this only relieves the headache, it doesn't purify the pollution."

She kneaded Hughes's hand, trying to make it fit better against his forehead.

"Pollution is generated within the body. I can't control where it is, and I can't really sense it, but I can probably guess where it is - at least in my head."

"It got into my brain!? Can it be dissipated?"

"Pollution cannot be dissipated. It will only accumulate. I remember Nora left you some medicine, right? The one that purifies pollution. That stuff actually absorbs some of the pollution after you take it, and then excretes it from your body."

Chloe blushed a little: "Maybe I have to get it inside."

Xius took a breath and quickly pulled his hand away: "You don't want to bite off my finger and swallow it!?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's the way the Temple of Silence works. I was just giving an example!"

Chloe spoke angrily, but saw Hughes smiling and extending his hand towards her.

"Actually, I have another guess - maybe drinking my blood would be useful."

"Um?"

"You know what, Monica? Don't glare at me, that little girl. I'm not implying that you're small. I'm saying that if she finds out about the pollution, she'll be afraid of the traces drawn by my blood."

"Really? This can work?"

"I wonder if I should give it a try?"

Chloe looked a little hesitant. She pulled the edge of the nun's uniform and kneaded it: "You are a mortal. You will die if you bleed too much, right? And it may not be effective."

"That's better than biting off your finger and swallowing it, and I can recover from the injury, so don't worry."

If Zeus had asked Chloe to drink his blood right away, Chloe would probably have refused, but he asked her to swallow her finger first, and Chloe suddenly felt that she could accept drinking the blood.

"Well, if you feel uncomfortable, tell me right away."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No problem, don't worry."

He has a symbiotic contract, so there won't be any problem.

Chloe took Hughes' hand, hesitated for a moment, and gently opened her mouth.

The room was a little dim, and under the flickering firelight, she blushed a little.

This action seemed a little intimate, but after all, it was to solve the pollution. Chloe looked at Hughes. His eyes were clear, filled with only a thirst for knowledge.

This made Chloe feel inexplicably at ease. She felt less nervous, so she lowered her head and looked at Hughes' fingers.

She chose her thumb, Hughes held his hand up and didn't move, Chloe bared her teeth and bit it slowly.

Her teeth were not sharp, but she was an extraordinary being, so she easily found a suitable angle to bite open the wound.

Blood flowed out, hot and slightly sweet.

Maybe she was too hesitant, the bite was not big, and the blood just dripped slowly.

Too slow.

Hughes raised an eyebrow, turned his hand slightly, and pressed it against her teeth with some force.

Chloe showed a slightly stunned expression, feeling the blood flowing in her mouth faster. She wanted to say something but only made a "mmm" sound.

Hughes' unexpected move caught her off guard, and Chloe's mind began to work rapidly, trying to find knowledge that could solve the problem.

She is the fire-chasing moth, and knowledge will definitely save her! Hughes lowered his head and thought, but he didn't notice Chloe's distress.

He felt the symbiotic contract in his body and felt a little confused.

There was no movement in the symbiotic contract.

Zeus had done experiments before, and found that as long as someone was injured, the symbiotic contract would heal him, regardless of whether he was willing or not.

In the previous incident where Monica was contaminated, Ash was injured and the extraction of his life force almost killed him. In order to stop the extraction of his life force, Ash almost terminated the contract.

Even so, the symbiotic contract did not stop.

That was why he was worried about whether he could bleed successfully.

But in front of me, his finger clearly has a wound, but why hasn't it healed? (End of this chapter)
