A foreigner's journey

The insect's mouthparts collided wildly, making a clattering noise.

Heather couldn't tell what was going on from its face, which had more insects than people. Maybe it was too excited to see the handsome guy?

He gestured with his fingers for a long time, from the tentacles on the top of the insect man's head to the sticky silk secreted by it. He gestured for a long time but didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only spread his hands to Rebecca:

"Lady first."

Rebecca didn't mind. She happily picked up a piece of silk and carried it on her shoulder. She followed Heather step by step, carrying the cocoon that was two circles larger than her body like a sack.

The closer the two got to the ruins of the church, the more they could feel the inexplicable power lingering in it.

"Wow, it feels like my gun is going to rust. The scarlet corruption here is so strong."

Rebecca stuck out her tongue. The scarlet corruption in this world is very weird. It can not only corrode flesh and blood, but also cause slow erosion to the earth, stones, and steel. It was as if everything was going to be transformed into rotten pus.

Walking into the church, there were rotten flowers and fungi everywhere. There was a small candle in the corner, and the curled up black shadow was hiding in the corner motionless, with only the suppressed sound of slightly painful breathing.

As soon as he saw the figure, the insect man that Rebecca was dragging immediately struggled desperately, as if he wanted to break through the cocoon and worship the figure.

"Oh, it's so noisy! If you move again, I will shoot you?" Rebecca took out her pistol impatiently and pointed it at the insect man's head.

The voice and struggle woke up the black shadow curled up in the corner.

The black shadow moved slightly, and a weak but pleasant female voice came out:

"Yes, who is there..."

Heather walked forward a few steps, and then she could see the figure clearly.

In the corner of the church, a red-haired girl leaned against the wall weakly, with her short red shawl hair scattered on her shoulders, covering most of her face.

She covered her right shoulder with her left hand. It can be seen that there was nothing below her right shoulder. The broken part was covered with blood, staining the dirty swordsman's outfit red.

The strong scarlet corrupt power was spreading outward from the red-haired girl, but the girl tried her best to control it in her body.

The red-haired girl raised her head with great effort and happened to see Heather's perfect face like the sun god. She was slightly startled and then lowered her head in shame.

But the warm and powerful index finger was placed on her chin, raising the girl's head again, forcing her to look at Heather.

At this moment, the scarlet corruption in her body surged with an unprecedented wave. She was tortured by the pain and gritted her teeth and cried out in pain. Then she said weakly:

"... No matter who you are, please leave me.

The scarlet corruption in my body is growing and spreading... This is a curse, not something that ordinary people should touch.

For your own good, stay away from me... Woo!"

As if reacting to the dazzling man in front of her, the scarlet corruption in the red-haired girl's body became more and more violent, as if it was forcibly rushing out of her body.

"Hush..."

Just when the girl closed her eyes and gritted her teeth in pain, a warm big hand stroked her head, and the soothing voice made her feel comfortable like a fire in winter.

"What a good child, take a nap, and it won't hurt when you wake up."

It's strange that the red-haired girl was tortured by pain and couldn't rest at all, but after hearing the man's voice and the warm big hand slowly stroking her head, the red-haired girl actually fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at the red-haired girl in front of her who curled up unconsciously even when she fell asleep, Heather stroked her chin and fell into deep thought.

Rebecca kicked the insect man unconscious, then slipped to Heather's side, looking at the red-haired girl while smacking her tongue:

"Using the concept of dreams to hypnotize a strange girl, brother, you are getting too much now, huh? And you are planning to capture this girl, right? Have you forgotten the bet between the big sister and you?"

"What did you see? You didn't see anything."

Heather glanced at Rebecca:

"Give you a crystal, and when you are given a place to act alone in the next world, you can use the crystal to locate yourself in the high-tech world to play, and the reality gem and the power gem will also be lent to you."

"Really? You are a puppy if you play tricks!"

Rebecca raised her little fist happily.

Heather bumped fists with her, and Rebecca immediately ran to the insect man and dragged it out of the church.

After Rebecca and the insect man left the church, Heather squatted down in front of the red-haired girl and whispered, "Can it be purified?"

Moshi appeared beside Heather. She pulled up the silver hair hanging by her ears and leaned down to look at the red-haired girl:

"The scarlet corruption is one of the 'laws' of this world. It is the power of the Scarlet Corruption Goddess.

It can be suppressed, but it cannot be completely cured. She has the root seeds of corruption in her body.

If it is forcibly removed, the child will die immediately.

Whether the scarlet corruption can be resisted and completely defeated depends on how strong the child's willpower is."

"Then I'll leave it to you. Suppress the corruption first." Heather stood up and made way.

Moshi leaned over and stretched out her hand, and her white fingers touched the forehead of the red-haired girl.

The next moment, the golden glow illuminated the entire church.

…………………………

Millicent felt that she had a dream, or rather, four dreams.

In every dream, she has a different identity, but has the same sisters.

Sometimes, she is Mary, the eldest sister.

Sometimes, she is the middle sister Jasmine.

Sometimes, she is Amy, the third sister.

Sometimes, she is Millicent, the fourth sister.

Sometimes, she is Pollyanna, the youngest sister.

Each sister was eroded by the crimson corruption and lost different parts.

The sisters except Millicent complained, hated, and were hostile, but finally reached an agreement——

We want scarlet corruption to bloom like a flower!

So what's the point of fighting it for so long? Millicent expressed a different opinion.

Then, she felt the other four sisters looking at her at the same time. Even if their eyes were corroded by scarlet corruption, Millicent could still feel the gloom and hostility in their eyes.

[Then, you are no longer our sister. 】

"No!"

Millicent opened her eyes suddenly and found that she was lying in the corner of the church and fell asleep.

It's too dangerous. If you relax the suppression of scarlet corruption in your sleep, then... Huh?

She sat up, raised her left hand in front of her eyes in surprise, and then touched her face and body blankly.

Has the corruption that spread from the inside out disappeared?

What happened before you fell asleep? She only remembered that a very good-looking man walked into the church, stroked his hair and said something, and then fell asleep.

"Oh, you're awake."

Hearing the sound, Millicent immediately looked towards the open space in the middle of the church.

The handsome man was sitting in front of the campfire playing with something, and continued without looking back:

"Wait a minute, it will be done soon."

Click! Click! Millicent only heard the sound of snapping together, and then the man casually threw a dark shadow towards her: "Try it to see if it fits."

Millicent reluctantly caught it in a panic and found that it was a beautifully crafted right arm prosthesis.

"The scarlet corruption in your body has been temporarily suppressed, but the hand cannot grow. Considering that a prosthetic limb can also be regarded as a weapon, I made one conveniently."

Heather stood up from the campfire and patted the dust on her pants:

"You can call it - [Xinghai Prosthetic Hand]."
