Rebirth: Infinite Train

Chapter 122 The Woman in the Small Room

His mouth opened and closed, and finally he roared, "Do you think I don't want her to live? I want her to live more than anyone else, what do you know!!"

Lin Yaoyao was even angrier than him, "Then tell us the truth of the matter, maybe there will be a chance for recovery!"

Barrett looked struggling and took a final deep breath. He seemed extremely reluctant to recall this past event and his narration was intermittent.

"Twenty-six years ago, I saved a mermaid. She...she was so beautiful. I knew that mermaids and humans were incompatible at that time, but I couldn't bring myself to kill her, so I secretly hid her, thinking that I would release her back into the sea after her injuries healed. I didn't expect that this would be the beginning of my nightmare."

"Later, she finally left, and came back after a while, holding a child in her arms, saying it was my daughter."

"She just left like that, leaving only a fragment glowing blue for the child."

"I didn't know how to raise a child, but I was afraid that her mixed-race identity would be exposed, so I moved to this small island. Fortunately, Leia didn't seem to have inherited her mother's characteristics. She looks like a normal human girl."

"Just when I thought we could live like this forever, and when Leah grows up, I will take her back to the mainland and let her live a normal life."

"Her skin began to fester and black gas would often come out. That's how Turtle Thirteen found her."

"She said that Leah was cursed because she had the fragment her mother gave her and asked me to give it to her so that the curse could be lifted."

"But no matter how I think about it, I feel something is wrong. At that time, Gui Shisan also had some skin ulcers on his body. If she could really remove the curse, why didn't she remove her own first?"

"I refused her. Leah was reluctant to hand over the only thing her mother left her. She didn't believe that the curse was caused by the fragment."

"On the contrary, in the days that followed, Leah could only relieve her symptoms by wearing the fragments on her body."

"This is also the reason why I will never give the fragment to you. Once the fragment is taken away, Leah will die immediately."

"Later, Gui Shisan began to harass us frequently and forced me to hand over the fragments. In order to remove the curse on Leah, I began to study black magic and finally found the source of the curse in a scroll."

"But...hahaha...but, I can't solve it at all. No one in this world can solve it. I won't accept this. Leia is my only relative in the world. I can't let her die in such pain.

I will plant the same curse on myself to see if I can find a way to break it. Then I will know why Gui Shisan cast this curse. "

"Although this curse can bring great power, it requires the sacrifice of countless lives, and in the end, the person will be entangled by it for the rest of his life and die."

"So I guessed right, the curse was cast by Grandma Turtle." Lin Yaoyao said in a low voice.

At this point, Barrett looked straight at Lin Yaoyao and said, "You still have a fragment in your hand. Can you... give it to Leah? She's dying, and so am I. But I still want to see if two fragments can break the curse on Leah."

Lin Yaoyao looked at Barrett and Yan. She really wanted to tell him that it was useless.

Because she had used shells to remove the black skin from Alice and the others, and there was more than one fragment inside at that time, but today they are still controlled by Grandma Turtle.

But Lin Yaoyao thought that what was on Leah's body was the last piece, and maybe after it formed a complete inner bead, it would have other effects.

So he did not reject Barrett's proposal.

But the thought of going in made me hold my breath. Finally, I stuffed a few mints into my mouth before I mustered up the courage to open the door.

This time, getting closer, Lin Yaoyao finally saw the location of the fragment. It was stuck in Leah's chest, and the color was no longer pure blue, but a little gray.

Barrett stood aside, staring at Lin Yaoyao's things.

If there was no other way, he would not want to let this group of people in, just in case... just in case they stole the fragments.

Fortunately, Lin Yaoyao had no intention of touching the fragment, but took out the single fragment in his hand and placed it close to Leah's chest.

The closer they got, the more the two fragments trembled, and finally they stuck tightly together.

This was the first time Lin Yaoyao saw the fragments merging together. The obvious crack slowly disappeared and finally turned into a larger fragment.

Barrett's breathing became lighter when he saw the fragments flying out of Leah's body and sticking to the fragments in Lin Yaoyao's hand.

He looked pleading, hoping that Lin Yaoyao would not take back the fragments in his hand.

Lin Yaoyao took out another big white shell, and the fragments in his hand disappeared.

"You!!! You lied..."

Lin Yaoyao raised a hand to stop Barrett from saying the next sentence, "Don't worry, I'm not gone, what are you afraid of."

She picked up the shell and moved closer to Leia. Perhaps because there were more fragments in the shell, as soon as it saw Leia, it felt the black air emanating from her body.

It seemed as if the stench had dissipated a little.

Kolia still hasn't returned to her normal appearance.

She could have been a lively girl, but because of the old lady's desires, she was ruined like this.

Seeing that her black energy was almost dissipating, Barrett began to stop her.

"Wait, take it away!"

Lin Yaoyao put away the shell and looked at Barrett in confusion.

Old Ma spoke quickly, "What do you mean? Don't you want to save your daughter?"

Barrett shook his head, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Leah's life can actually be considered to be hanging by a curse. If she drives away the black energy before her body recovers, it will cost her life."

Lin Yaoyao looked at Barrett and said, "I have a way to restore Leia's body, but you have to agree to one condition."

Barrett looked slightly excited. "You said, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"You are cursed just like Granny Turtle, but you two are the only ones who took the initiative to plant the curse, so you are the only ones who can control the black energy. You have to help me take back control of those people."

The reason why Lin Yaoyao said this was because she thought of the black bug that Barrett had once instructed.

If the true identity of the black bug is a little turtle, then Barrett must have snatched it from Granny Turtle.

Old Lady Ma asked, "That's not right. If this old man could compete with Granny Turtle for control, why didn't he remove the evil spirit from his daughter?"

Barrett shook his head. "They are different. The curses that Turtle Thirteen cast on these adventurers were only low-level. As long as I cast a new one, I can indeed seize control. But it is different for Leah. Turtle Thirteen cast a high-level curse on her to prevent me from removing it."
