Soul echo

Chapter 305 Black Mist
After dinner, the mage consultant approached the Earl of Blois with the equipment he had just made.

Zhong Ye asked the Earl of Blois to "look on the sidelines", and the Earl agreed after thinking for a moment.

It's just watching, it's not a big deal.

The location for 'treating' Paul was his room. When Zhong Ye and the others came to the boy's room, they saw that the hair on one side of the earl's second son had been shaved off, leaving no stubble left.

The mage consultant cast the spell again, causing Paul to fall asleep, and this time he would not wake up again due to outside movements.

After Paul fell asleep, the mage consultant lifted the big box and put it on the bedside.

He cast a spell to grant himself the ability of 'seeing through', his sight passed through the muscles and bones, and landed on the earl's second son's brain.

After the box was opened, there was a device in the shape of an air tank. The main body was completely sealed, and a rubber hose extended from the side. Tube.

There is a knob and a gauge at the place where the end of the short metal tube is connected to the rubber tube. If Zhong Ye is not mistaken, this mechanism should be used to control the air pressure inside the main body of the gas tank.

"Isn't the thing parasitic in Paul's mind solid?" Zhong Ye asked coldly.

The mage consultant was looking for a place with fewer blood vessels on Paul's head. Hearing Zhong Ye's question, he nodded, "Yes, that thing seems to be in a gaseous state, and it doesn't just exist in a certain place. It almost fills up Master Paul's body." All the grooves of the brain."

Zhong Ye pursed his lips slightly, thoughtfully.

With the light from several crystal lamps, the mage consultant pressed Paul's scalp, his brows furrowed.

The Earl of Blois sat on the sidelines and waited, changing his raised legs several times. Obviously, his heart was not as calm as it seemed on the surface.

Time passed slowly, and the mage consultant couldn't help but feel a little anxious because he hadn't found a place where he could attack for a long time.

At this moment, Zhong Ye asked, "Do you need my help?"

The mage consultant straightened his sore waist, took off his glasses, rubbed his tired eyes, and then turned to look at Zhong Ye, "Do you want to help?"

Zhong Ye nodded, "I became an extraordinary person by virtue of my perception."

The mage consultant's eyes lit up, and he stood up hastily, "Then come here! Help me find a place on Master Paul's head where the blood vessels are not so dense and where there are no arteries. If possible, help me open a finger-wide hole. "

This kind of thing was easy for Zhong Ye, he just raised his hand and pressed on Paul's head, and he basically understood the specific distribution of blood vessels in the earl's second son's head.

He took out the knife prepared by the mage consultant from the alcohol tank on the side, and inserted it directly into Paul's head.

This startled both the Earl of Blois and his mage advisor, but they didn't dare to scream, lest they frighten Zhong Ye and accidentally hurt Paul.

It is impossible to open a hole in the head without bleeding. There are many capillaries under the skin. When Zhong Ye cut the knife, the capillaries were destroyed.

It's just because these blood vessels are so tiny, before Zhong Ye gouged out that piece of skull, the front incision had already recovered.

Putting the cut bones, muscles and the knife into the silver tray beside him, Zhong Ye stood up as if nothing had happened, "It's done."

The mage consultant squatted down, compared the short metal tube with the gap on Paul's head, and couldn't help but be amazed.

——The width of the gap coincides with the widest point where the short metal tube needs to be inserted into the head. This is certainly not a coincidence!

It can only be said that a strong man who breaks through the extraordinary barrier with "perception" can be so powerful.

Thinking in this way, the mage consultant summoned a [Mage Hand], asked him to pick up the short metal tube, insert the front end into Paul's head, and slowly pushed it in.

The Earl of Blois couldn't help swallowing, and opened his tight neckline, trying to make his mood less tense.

With the support of [Eye of Discovery], the mage consultant saw that the front end of the short metal pipe was on top of the mass of 'gaseous substance'.

So, take a deep breath.

He wanted to turn the knob, but found that his hands were shaking.

"...I'll do it!" Zhong Ye sighed inwardly, and stepped forward again.

The Mage Advisor breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that he would make a mistake in his operation and accidentally hurt Paul.

If that kind of thing really happened, it is certain that he will be expelled from the Earl of Blois, but whether his life can be saved... I don't know.

The mage consultant instructed Zhong Ye to turn the knob. At the beginning, he repeated "the pressure in the tank should not be greatly reduced at the beginning" three times, and during the rotation, he said "take your time, don't rush" four times.

As the air pressure in the air tank gradually decreases, the 'gaseous substance' wrapped in the tortuous brain sulcus is pushed by the atmospheric pressure and enters the short metal tube.

The black aerosol flowed through the rubber tube continuously and poured into the glass air tank.

The Earl of Blois watched Zhong Ye's operations intently, and when he saw the black mist appearing in the gas tank, his expression quickly darkened.

"The fog is actually a whole..." the mage consultant murmured to himself, he had never seen such a bizarre thing.

Part of the black mist was drawn away, and the other part followed into the gas tank. These things were obviously in a 'gaseous state', but they looked like an interconnected whole.

The extraction work continued for more than 50 minutes before no more black mist filled the air tank.

The mage consultant opened the [Eye of Discovery] again, carefully observed Paul's brain, and after confirming that there was no remaining black mist in his brain, he blocked the gap with gauze.

"My lord, luckily I did not disgrace my life."

The mage consultant wiped his forehead and wiped off the sweat with his hands.

The fireplace in the room was burning vigorously, coupled with the emotional tension, the mage consultant realized that he was already sweating profusely.

Opposite him was Zhong Ye, no sweat was found on his forehead, face, or back of his neck.

This surprised the mage consultant, didn't he feel a little nervous before?

At this moment, the Count of Blois could finally relax.

He glanced at Zhong Ye with a puzzled expression, then turned his head to look at the gas tank filled with black mist, and his face instantly turned down.

Inside the gas tank, the black mist was still surging.

"Who on earth dares to poison the members of the Blois family!" the Earl of Blois said angrily.

"Before, I met a group of monsters from the Eastern land in Chartres. They are called 'painted skins' by us Eastern natives. The larvae of these monsters parasitize in other people's bodies and constantly erode the host's body. When the host When they are eroded to the point where only a skin remains, that is when they fully hatch and mature.

"They will not abandon their skins easily, but will use their skins to continue living in human society and increase the number of their own groups through continuous parasitism."

Hearing Zhong Ye's words, Earl of Blois was terrified. Immediately, he saw Zhong Ye pointing to the gas tank, and said in a low voice: "And the body of 'Painted Skin' is just like this black mist."

"Is this a monster?" The mage consultant was astonished.

The equipment he made has its own 'similar extraction' and 'directed target', so after absorbing a wisp of black mist, it will automatically suck the rest of the black mist.

He originally thought it was a carrier of some kind of curse, but he never thought that it might be a 'living creature'!
"However, no one has ever seen how 'Painted Skin' parasitizes humans. We only know how they reproduce, but not how they parasitize humans. Moreover, the parasite of 'Painted Skin' larvae is generally not the brain. They are more likely to parasitize in the heart or lungs, gradually erode the entire body by devouring and replacing blood, parasitize in the brain, and even manipulate the host's 'painted skin'... which is unprecedented."

Zhong Ye stared at the cloud of black mist surging in the gas tank, and many doubts arose in his heart.

If this is really a 'Painted Skin' larva, why would it live in the brain of the second son of the Earl of Blois, and also manipulate the emotions of the second son of the Earl, making him fear outsiders?

If you don't do anything and just slowly erode your body, wouldn't you be able to be silent?

If this is an ordinary 'painted skin' larva, does that mean that Paul is actually the special one?
"You must have guessed it." Zhong Ye lightly pressed the palm of his hand on the gas tank, "I dealt with the Gombola family in Chartres in order to pursue them. Unexpectedly, even the Baron Gombola Part of 'Painted Skin'."

Earl of Blois eyelids twitched, could it be the Combra family...

"The results of it?"

"They escaped." Zhong Ye sighed deeply, "At that time, we didn't know that the Gombola family had been eroded by the 'Painted Skin'. A team, and you should be able to guess what happened afterwards—they fled in the skin of that team.

"Subsequently, the only new Baron of Gombola who knew their whereabouts triggered the curse before telling us the truth and died directly."

"This..." Count Blois almost suffocated.

Through Zhong Ye's words, he could also know how desperate the situation was.

"So, this thing..."

All three turned their gazes to the gas tank.

After glancing at it, the mage consultant turned his begging eyes to his employer. He hoped that the employer would keep this thing and let him study it.

After pondering for a moment, the Earl of Blois looked at Zhong Ye and asked softly, "Your Excellency Zhong Ye, you are an expert. What are you going to do?"

"I want to take it away."

Zhong Ye folded his arms and stared at the black mist in the gas tank, "I'm about to go to other territories in the central part of the Gaul Kingdom. This is the only sample at present. I want to use this thing to remind the clergy in other territories. The danger of this monster.

"At the same time, I will use this thing to track their kind and destroy them all!"
