Tamer: I built a home on the back of the Black Tortoise. - Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Mu Liang, you should let go.

With the white-haired girl’s narration, Mu Liang gradually understood what the ‘infection of the ghost’ was, and also understood why Li Yue was so sensitive to the fishy red lines on her face.

It turned out that the ‘infection of the ghost’ is an infectious disease, a disease that causes one to only live for ten years…… or even shorter.

When the time comes, the infected represent death, or a monster alive in another form: a ghost.

A ghost, a twisted monster were crazy, tyrannical, dry, and inhumane……. They were monsters that only bite the living creatures.

Infected people would not be contagious, only by ghost bite, the scratch will be infected.

However, the infected people were still rejected, hated, and banished.

Li Yue was chasing after the Angel Wings that could cure the ‘infection of the ghost’ in such a harsh environment.

“Why does it feel a bit like a zombie?” Mu Liang thought of the zombie movies on Earth after listening to it.

There was a ten-year incubation period for a ghost to be bitten and injured, while a zombie bite only had an incubation period of a few minutes.

“What’s a zombie?” Li Yue blinked blankly.

“It’s a monster more terrifying than a ghost.” Mu Liang casually said.

He looked at the fishy red lines on the white-haired girl’s cheeks and reached out to touch it.

“No, don’t.” Li Yue lowered her head in inferiority.

“You said that infected people will not infect others.” Mu Liang lifted the white-haired girl’s chin.

“But …… Everyone is afraid.” Li Yue bit her lower lip, with her silver-white eyes drifting.

“At least… I’m not afraid.” Mu Liang raised his hand and stroked the fishy red lines on the white-haired girl’s cheek.

As he touched it, he commented: “Well, it’s still a little hot, and the texture is a little hard, like a soft glue tube.”

“Ah? Well, what a strange statement.” Li Yue’s pretty face flushed red, her silver-white eyes full of shame.

The strange hand on her face made the white girl feel warm.

It was like removing a layer of unsettling dust from her heart, making her feel more at ease than ever before.

The white-haired girl’s inner memory used to be filled with the disgusted eyes, deceitful words, and contemptuous looks of some people.

At this time, most of them were swept away by a figure named Mu Liang.

“Mu Liang, you should let go.” Mino pouted and shouted with dissatisfaction.

The rabbit-eared girl began to hide behind Mu Liang and listened to the white-haired girl quietly.

Then, when she saw Mu Liang touch the white-haired girl’s face, for some reason, she felt uncomfortable for a while.

“Ahem……” Mu Liang coughed lightly.

He let go of her hand unwillingly. After all, the girl’s cheeks were a little soft, as if she was squeezing a toy.

“No wonder, I thought it was a little strange.”Mu Liang muttered.

He finally understood, the white-haired girl had misunderstood…… She thought Mu Liang was someone who knew about the ‘infection of the ghost’.

Otherwise, with the broken heart of the white girl, how could she easily get along with Mu Liang and even let him pinch her face now.

“No wonder what?”

Mino’s rabbit ears twitching slightly, came over and asked, “Mu Liang, did you find something?”

The rabbit-eared girl was a little pitiful of the treatment of the white-haired girl, and she was not so timid towards her.

A fancy girl, suddenly knowing her death date, would be suppressed and discriminated against by the people around her.

Mino thought about it and knew how painful it was.

“Is there a problem?” Li Yue slowly recovered from her shyness, and also wanted to know what he found.

“Li Yue, you said earlier that you only have six months left.”

Mu Liang felt that there was no need to explain the misunderstanding.

He changed the subject and asked, “Is it going to be a ten-year period?”

“No, I’ve been infected for less than five years.”

Li Yue pursed her lips and said in a soft voice: “I used the abilities gained from the ‘Infection of the Ghost’ to accelerate my infection.”

“Can ‘Infection of Void Ghosts’ make people gain abilities?” Mu Liang asked in surprise.

“Well, some special abilities will be obtained, which are similar to those of mutants.”

Li Yue glanced enviously at Mino’s bunny ears, and said in a complicated tone: “The price of using special abilities is to accelerate the ‘infection of the ghost’ to erode the human body.”

“The abilities of the infected person are similar to that of the mutant’s?”

Mu Liang raised his eyebrows in surprise and turned to look at the rabbit-eared girl.

He felt that there was a connection between the two.

It was as if a mutated person was the product of successful evolution, while a ghost was a defective product of a failed evolution…… This was a visual sensation.

“My ability is eagle eye vision.” Li Yue showed her ability.

The white-haired girl’s pupils turned into a pair of eagle-like eyes, her gaze became sharp like the sky.

At this moment, the fishy red lines on Li Yue’s face seemed to be alive, and it slowly spread to the skin at the side.

“Okay, let’s stop.” Mu Liang quickly raised his hand to suppress it.

“With the treatment of Angel’s Tears, it’s okay to use the ability.” Li Yue’s words were extraordinarily relaxed and active.

Mu Liang stared at the white-haired girl and asked earnestly, “Are you sure that the dew condensed by the ‘Angel Wings’ can cure the ‘infection of the ghost’?”

“I, I don’t really know, I heard it all from my companions.”

Li Yue was looked at by Mu Liang’s black eyes, and her tone became less confident.

“Then let’s give it a try.” Mu Liang didn’t forget that he also possessed the ability of ‘Angel’s Tears’.

“I can’t try it now. It takes ten days for ‘Angel Wings’ to condense a drop of ‘Angel Tears’.”

As Li Yue spoke, she looked down at the white, winged flowers in the barrel in her arms.

“Remember what I said to you before?” Mu Liang asked confidently.

“What?” Li Yue’s silver-white eyes were all blank.

“Nothing is impossible.” The corners of Mu Liang’s mouth rose.

“Activate Angel Tears.”

Mu Liang’s thoughts activated the ability, and a general introduction of the ability came from his mind.

The ability of Angel Tears: consumes physical and mental energy and condenses a drop of dew that can relieve negative conditions and restore a certain amount of vitality.

The cooldown was the same as Angel Wings, up to ten days.

Evolving Angel Wings reduces the cooldown and increases the effect of Angel’s Tears.

“That’s the first ‘nanny’ ability I’ve ever had.”

Mu Liang turned his palm upwards, and a drop of emerald green dew slowly condensed in his palm.

“Huh? It’s so fragrant.” Mino licked the corner of her mouth.

“Mu Liang, you wouldn’t say that the emerald-green water droplets on your palms are the tears of an angel, right?” Li Yue asked in disbelief.

“Hmm! It’s exactly what you think.”

Mu Liang raised his hand to the lips of the white-haired girl, and urged, “Open your mouth to drink, and try the effect of Angel’s Tears’.”
