I don’t have the courage to accept the bone scraping treatment without changing my expression.
Therefore, when he realized Thomas's plan, he immediately gave up his previous idea of passive response. While urging the black gem cat to sneak out to find someone, he frantically called for reinforcements in his heart, the only one he could directly contact now.
That was the tenant in his ears.
To be honest, letting a being like Little Green Snake, who has a hint of ancient concepts, deal with such a trivial matter is like using a cannon to swat mosquitoes. But now that mosquito has penetrated into Zheng Qing's cerebral cortex, he really can't care about that many things.
Just let him cry out in his heart.
The little green snake remained unmoved, as if trapped in a deep spring sleep.
Its lazy attitude has lasted for a long time. Just like the last time in the North District, even if Zheng Qing fell into the trap of the small sandbox world, he had no hope of getting help from this big boss - that day Xiao Qing
The snake jumped out on its own without Zheng Qing asking for help or urging, chasing the big crows whose aura was approaching the great wizard and biting them all at once.
Perhaps annoyed, the huge figure entrenched under the Forbidden Curse Tree impatiently threw a few thoughts over -
"Are you going to die?"
"No, but..."
"Am I your nanny?"
"No, but..."
"There are so many 'buts' but 'buts'! Every time I shed my skin, the pain is excruciating, and no one gives me an anesthetic! My future is destined to be completely wiped out. Do you care? No, you
No, you only care about whether you are in pain now! If losing a piece of flesh can help me survive in the future, I am willing to pick all the flesh and blood from the bones... Um, wait, flesh and blood and bones? Hmm... let me
Think about it..."
The last thought was so heavy and complicated that it made Zheng Qing feel short of breath and could hardly stand still.
Thomas mistakenly thought he was frightened.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm just taking a little bit of flesh and blood from you. It's very small. Just treat it like a fall." He comforted and used his knife to mark an area the size of a peanut while his eyes wandered over Zheng Qing's body.
, it seems that it is more appropriate to consider which part to cut.
Zheng Qing felt no comfort at all.
"You can't lose a piece of meat the size of a peanut if you fall." He looked sadly and glanced in the direction of the laboratory door.
"That depends on how you fell."
Thomas didn't seem to notice the boy's gaze, and he wiped the needle with alcohol: "And it's good to not have anesthesia... I remember you are graduating this semester, right? Then you should start registering for the Wizard's Advancement Ceremony.
Okay, adapting to this kind of pain in advance will be very helpful for you to advance. The advancement of a wizard is actually equivalent to the transformation of life, like a golden silkworm breaking out of a cocoon and a baby dragon emerging from its shell. It is a painful and struggling process... In addition
, without anesthesia, you will always be awake. If you are curious about anything, you can ask me directly. If I can answer, I will tell you... Lie down, I will take some blood first... Don't worry, it's just for blood, you don't need it.
Worry about what tricks I will play with your blood..."
"Is there any use in worrying?"
Zheng Qing muttered, stalling for time, but unexpectedly his feet moved lightly, and his whole body floated lightly, like a dead leaf falling on the shiny test table that he wiped.
Magic is so annoying.
He turned his face sideways, looking at the ropes that were sliding over his body like snakes, tightly binding him to the test platform, and sighed heavily.
"How about some music? It is said that this can make you more relaxed." Thomas gave a very considerate suggestion when he poked the needle into Zheng Qing's arm.
It seems that the defense power of pure flesh is still limited.
Zheng Qing watched the needle sink silently under his tight skin, feeling an unexpected disappointment.
"It sounds like you just want me to bleed more." He smiled self-deprecatingly, flashing through his mind the news he had seen that cows would produce more milk if they listened to music.
A touch of deep red slowly left Zheng Qing's body, flowing quietly in the transparent tube.
at the same time.
A beautiful piece of music also flowed in the air.
Zheng Qing tilted his head and listened silently for a while.
"Is this Beethoven?"
He tried to divert Thomas's attention, so he tried to dig into his meager accumulation of classical music. However, although he knew the names of some musicians, at the moment, listening to the music flowing in the laboratory, the only thing he could think of was
It's Beethoven and his "Destiny".
Thomas lowered his head and connected the first drop of blood to the glass slide, while indifferently denying the boy's guess: "It's Master Bach. His style of music is easy to hear, rational and rigorous, and is similar to Master Beethoven."
Romantic passion is completely different."
Zheng Qing sniffed.
"You do need a little rationality."
He complained in a low voice, and when he saw Thomas stuffing the slide under the microscope, he immediately swallowed the rest of the words and quickly glanced at the side.
The black gem cat was already sneaking around and almost slipped to the entrance of the laboratory.
"He's always so conflicted, don't take it to heart."
A pleasant voice suddenly came from behind the white curtain not far away, hoarse and pleasant: "The preference for rationality and reckless actions are the unique charms of men in the stars. Just like Bach, if he was really rational, he would not have given birth to twenty children.
It’s a child…”
Zheng Qing subconsciously held his breath and looked at the white curtain, thinking whether the other party had noticed his little move.
"...You just mentioned Beethoven, I guess you thought about Beethoven's fate, right?"
Behind the white curtain, the slightly hoarse voice continued to sound: "I also like the tune of destiny very much... It starts with a short tune and ends with a long tune, just like the lamentation of every soul that is still struggling after the fall. Bewildered,
Helpless, painful, until the end. If the person dies in the end, the long tune will be an elegy; if the person survives in the end, the long tune will be a hymn."
Thomas' hand adjusting the knob paused slightly.
Zheng Qing also temporarily forgot about his black gem cat, and subconsciously said: "Who is there?...Who is behind that tent? You can tell me this kind of thing!"
He said the last sentence to Thomas. As he spoke, he raised his hand to reveal the slender red hose on his arm. Thomas had promised to clear up his doubts just now.
But the next second, a rapid and sharp cry came from my ears.
He suddenly looked back, tried his best to lift his neck, and looked in the direction of the scream. He saw a black gemstone kitten hanging on the door handle of the laboratory. At this moment, it was clinging to the door with its two small front paws.
On the smooth door handle, the tail was curled up, as if it would fall off in the next second.
And underneath the kitten, there was a rattlesnake as thick as an arm.
He didn't notice at all when a snake came out of the laboratory!
Swish, swish!
The rattlesnake swung its tail, spit out its core, and stared at the frightened and screaming black gem cat. As if aware of the gaze cast from behind, the big snake paused its tail, tilted its head slightly, and bounced like an arrow from the string.
, opened his mouth and swallowed the kitten into his stomach in one gulp.
ah!
This time, Zheng Qing was so frightened that he screamed.
