old dream

Chapter 26 The Twisted Ordinary

Colin handed Ji Lian the syringe left by Giovanni and asked her to do some simple tests.

There are still some residues of those medicines in it. Although I don't have much expectations, I can give it a try.

"So is it all right?"

"It's alright. The thing I gave you just now is a therapeutic agent. Since the same is a bacterial infection, find out what it is, and maybe it will be enlightening to cure your disease."

Colin didn't tell the whole truth, Ji Lian silently put away the syringe.

At this time, Ricardo woke up, he first looked around in a trance, and then suddenly jumped up from the seat.

"What about the scarred face?!"

"What scar face?" Ji Lian asked.

"It's..." Ricardo seemed to realize that Ji Lian's house was in front of him.He didn't understand why he came here inexplicably, but instinctively concealed:

"...I watched a scene, and there was a scar face in it."

Colin lied to Ricardo before that Ji Lian had never known that they were engaged in gang activities, but he believed it to be true.

He thought that Colin was trying to hide those dangerous and dirty things from Ji Li'an.

Just thinking about this, Ricardo felt a sense of sad mission in his heart to prevent weak women from seeing the darkness or getting involved in disputes, so he didn't tell anyone about Ji Li'an.

"That must be scary." Ji Li'an knew the truth but did not expose him, but continued to follow his words:
"I haven't seen you for a few years, why is my head bald?"

"...In the summer of hot years, it's too boring to have hair." Ricardo touched the top of his head and said.

It has to be said that he is quite adaptable.

Looking at how he could jump up from the seat, Colin breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was nothing wrong with his skull.

Although Ji Lian didn't have a deep relationship with Ricardo, it was a little too much to joke about other people's imprisonment.

Or maybe, she just didn't like being concealed, or being treated as someone who needed protection without authorization, so she took revenge a little.

Ricardo wanted to move two more steps, but he took a breath.

After all, there was still a broken rib, and as soon as the spirit relaxed, the pain came up.

Fortunately, there is no dislocation, just use a chest strap to fix the fractured part.

Ji Lian even thoughtfully helped him come up with an excuse:

"Falled?"

"Well, from the stairs on the second floor." Ricardo said with a bitter face.

... It really fell from the second floor, as long as you don't mention being put under your body, it's not a lie.

……

……

The next two days passed very peacefully, because Colin's broken body needed to rest, so the work of monitoring and caring for Julio was handed over to Ricardo, while he accompanied his uncle in that dark home.

Colin asked in a side-by-side manner if Craigie knew about the situation of a special fish in the Cynthili Sea on the side of Sinal.As a result, I didn't expect my uncle to really say the scientific name of that fish:

Black shark.

But after all, it was a field unrelated to his specialty, and his knowledge of this fish was limited to an encyclopedia.

The uncle didn't ask any more reasons, but just carried the red light to find information about this fish for Colin. Colin carried a thick stack of books and went back to his attic to look at it.

This kind of book that is allowed to be taken out of the seminary library, of course, does not mention in detail the information related to the transcendent, but only briefly introduces that the black shark often inhabits the deep sea, in the winter of the hot year, and the whole year of the cold year. , and during the breeding season they swim in groups offshore.And some coastal residents will pickle it and use it as a stimulant.

There is only a note on a book that does not write about the publisher, and there is a comment about the symbiotic relationship between this fish and a special flora.

But as if it had been abridged, only their scientific name was mentioned abruptly: Vibrio carinii, without any explanation.

Colin was stunned. He didn't know the naming rules of bacteria in the Ankh academic circle, but he felt a strong violation of the "swarming".Because this is obviously not a regular nomenclature.

He did some research along the lines of "Ka's", but he couldn't find the second bacterial name with this affix for a long time.As if only "Swarming Vibrio carinii" was accidentally left out on that profile.

After years of eavesdropping on the seminary, Colin somewhat knew that the ether of the planet itself was the most stable and broad channel for spiritual essence to flow into reality.Because of this, "celestial magic" has become the most versatile and reliable magic system.

The deep sea is closer to the interior of the planet, so in the depths of the dark abyss, there is a richer spiritual environment than the land, which has spawned more creatures related to the spirit.

However, no matter whether it is Ji Li'an's salt-purifying observation method, the "lantern" of the seminary, or Mr. No. [-]'s observation, it is impossible to observe traces of the existence of spiritual elements in his own blood.

So swarming Vibrio calf might be a paradox: it is both transcendent and at the same time purely material.

Maybe they were not much different from other mortal creatures, just because in the brutal survival competition with other deep-sea spiritual creatures, they evolved a distorted but extremely effective way of survival that should not have appeared under normal circumstances.

A survival that overdraws itself into the future and the past.

Looking at the description of this fish, Colin suddenly thought of himself inexplicably.

In other words, all the ordinary people living in the underground world of Stade.

……

After taking the inhibitor, the abundance of life in consciousness returned to the stable star-like scene before.But the number of particles they represent has been cut by more than half.

This is probably why Mr. No. [-] said he would not survive this month.

Colin tried it and found that he could re-split those particles into [-] copies, that is, a text that could record [-] letters.If he gave up all the other senders he was tracking, and devoted himself to recording the "Kayu Subcontinent Foreign Scholar", he could barely record most of the documents.

The question is, why bother doing these things when you're going to die in a month?
No, go ahead and do it.Colin thought.

After all, what if you survive.

Heine didn't mention his gang activities again, and he didn't even talk to Colin at all. He wasn't sure whether he found out that Colin was still in danger, and even experienced a life-and-death battle just a few days ago.

Because there were few records to make these days, Colin quickly cleared the weekend's pile of letters and left the reporting room.

Before tomorrow, the inhibitor given by Giovanni will expire.

So the deal with Capello is tonight.
