People in Teyvat, starting from saving the grass god

But before she could take a few steps, she was dragged back by Rhodes.

"What are you going to do?"

"The protection of that place is tighter than that of Xumi City, and the leader can fight better than the Gale Disciplinary Officer. Unless someone from the Order Academy takes action, it will be impossible to snatch people out from there."

As he spoke, Rhodes pursed his lips towards the room where Kelai was sleeping: "Well, she escaped from a laboratory similar to that place."

"."

The first thing that came to Desiya's mind was not to sympathize with Kelai or anything else, but to wonder: "How do you know this?"

"I encountered a laboratory like this in the desert and saw the miserable conditions in the laboratory."

Rhodes found a random reason.

Anyway, no one knows what those stupid laboratories in the desert are like, so they can just lie.

Next.

He told Desiya some of the things he knew.

These include but are not limited to surgery to remove brain lobes to keep the patient calm; using a special instrument to dialyze the patient's whole body blood to reduce the concentration of elemental forces; and taking organs from normal people to replace the elements caused by the patient. Organs with abnormal content; forced replacement of patient's limbs, skin and other body parts; and the worst of all, experiments on injecting demon residue into living bodies.

No picture.

Just listening to Rhodes' description gave Desiya a layer of goosebumps.

"Is this really something a human can do?"

Desiya pursed her lips.

She didn't know why, but she felt a slight sense of fear towards the attending physician that Rhodes mentioned.

It’s not like Desiya has never killed anyone.

In desert areas, especially deep in the desert, killing people is commonplace.

But if she was asked to remove organs from living people without any emotion and then install them into another person, she asked herself that she couldn't do it.

And people who can do this without changing their expressions.

Even if they haven't even met him, it's enough to make people fear him.

"Unfortunately."

"In these hospitals that treat patients with demonic scale disease, all their doctors are real people, not monsters or ghosts."

Rhodes looked at Disiya seriously and warned: "Don't try to provoke those people. We can't afford to provoke them. If we really fall out, with the strength of that group of people, you, me, the Blazing Hunter, including Ah As a result, everyone in the village may end up dead without a burial place.”

"I, I know."

After being repeatedly warned by Rhodes, coupled with the description of those horrific experimental scenes, no matter how much Desiya wanted to treat those innocent patients, she could only helplessly look at the moon in the sky and sigh: "They are all poor people who want to survive." People.”

"Yes."

"They're just trying to survive."

Looking at the full moon in the sky, Rhodes also sighed.

Chapter 46 Interrogation

This night.

Collet slept restlessly.

Even if Rhodes' home is safe, there is no need to consider the various crises that may arise in the desert.

But she still woke up many times.

When she woke up from the nightmare, she had a ferocious face, her whole body was covered with purple-black smoke and mist, and she was extremely manic. Rhodes had to knock her out every time to keep her quiet.

Just once or twice.

But Ke Lai basically wakes up every one or two hours, and her sleep is very shallow. She will wake up at the slightest disturbance. Rhodes has no way to deal with it, so he can only subdue Ke Lai, who is irritable because of the awakening, over and over again. Lai.

This caused Rhodes to stay up almost all night, and he just sat on the chair and watched the whole night despite his sleepiness.

dawn.

Kelai finally woke up.

However, she had already opened her eyes but did not get up. Instead, she grabbed the quilt and huddled inside, quietly observing the surrounding situation.

"Ha-ah~"

"When you wake up, don't lie there, get up."

The sudden sound startled Kelai, and he almost bared his teeth at Rhodes like before.

Looking at Rhodes who kept yawning.

Kelai was in a daze for a moment, then carefully climbed up from the bed.

I saw her even putting on her shoes very quietly.

Rhodes said angrily: "Stop pretending, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to look pitiful anymore."

Kelai, who was putting on his shoes, paused and then looked over in astonishment.

Rhodes had a businesslike expression, crossed his legs, and lightly tapped the back of the chair.

"If you want to stay here well, it's necessary to tell the truth."

"if not."

"I'm not sure you're going to cause damage to the village."

"Explain your origin, past, purpose of staying here, and the strange power in your body."

It was like a scene of interrogating a prisoner, and the atmosphere in the room instantly solidified.

Kelai's expression changed again and again.

The pitiful and innocent expression before was slowly dissipating.

"Don't try to attack me."

"Otherwise, there will be consequences at your own risk."

Rhodes chuckled, as if he knew everything about what Cole was going to do.

Still too tender.

Even though I have experienced a lot.

But in front of an adult.

Her little thoughts couldn't be hidden from Rhodes at all.

Kelai did not stay in Aru Village willingly. She stayed here because she had some ulterior secrets.

Rhodes knew one thing very well.

That is to say, Kelai cannot simply be regarded as a child with a simple mind.

Kelai was still young when he was captured for human experimentation, and later he was tortured in the laboratory. Even his parents were killed by that group of people.

Such a painful experience.

You don't need to think about it to know that her mental maturity is definitely much higher than that of her peers.

Later, after escaping from the laboratory, she, like Rhodes, wandered in the dangerous desert for who knows how long.

Let’s take a look at Harlan’s previous attitude towards Kelai.

It was easy to see some of the things she might encounter as she passed through inhabited towns and villages.

Demon scale disease.

This is a frightening disease in Sumeru.

In addition to the magic scale disease, Kelai also had purple scars under the bandage that looked like other diseases, with weird colors and distorted shapes. Based on the upbringing of desert people, their first reaction when seeing Kelai was to expel her.

Even throwing stones, rotten eggs, and vegetable leaves are very likely to happen.

So treating Kelai as an ordinary child is definitely the stupidest idea.

only.

After all, he has been locked up in a laboratory since he was a child, and was ostracized in various ways after he escaped. Kelai still has too little contact with human society and does not know how to hide himself.

What she wanted to do was written clearly on her face.

Like now.

Her intention to attack Rhodes was not too obvious.

Even though he was warned by Rhodes.

She was like a lion baring its teeth to intimidate its enemies, with a fierce flame emanating from her whole body.

It's really fierce flames.

The kind that is visible to the naked eye.

The purple-black flames spread and twisted around Kelai's body, and finally turned into a vague and irregular snake shape, bending his body and roaring silently at Rhodes.

Black Flame Snake.

This is the power hidden in Kelai's body.

It originated from the demon residue potion that she was injected with when she was subjected to human experiments.

The so-called demonic remnants.

This is a war between demons and gods originating from ancient times.

Demonic God Residues are the materialized resentments of those who died in battle with Demonic Gods.

This kind of residue can give an ordinary person instant access to extraordinary demonic power.

at the same time.

Since the Demonic God's remnants are the collective manifestation of the Demonic God's hatred, these remnants contain extremely strong resentment.

And these resentments.

It will gradually erode the human spirit until it completely collapses, surrenders to the murmurs of the devil's resentment, and eventually becomes a killing machine that kills everyone on sight.

And the power of the devil is not something that anyone can control casually.

Over time.

While gaining powerful power, the user's physical body will also suffer extremely severe backlash, until it loses its life and becomes a corpse, or a puppet controlled by resentment.

Kelai is using it now.

It's the demonic power hidden in her body.

boom--

A blazing flame suddenly flashed past.

Just one blow.

Rhodes easily tore apart the black flame snake emerging from Kelai's body.

The power of the devil is indeed very strong.

But if the person using it cannot control it at all, he won't be able to exert much power.

not to mention.

When using the power of the Demon God's residue, you will inevitably be affected by the Demon God's resentment.

Kelai obviously didn't want to let his consciousness be at the mercy of these resentments.

Therefore, she herself is fighting against this force.

The consciousnesses are fighting against each other, and the physical body cannot exert too much power. This kind of Kelai is still far behind the current Rhodes.

After the Black Flame Snake was shattered.

Kelai slumped on the ground helplessly, breathing heavily.
