Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Healing Injuries
“Strange Tales”
The emphasis is on the word ‘strange’.
It is utterly dissimilar to the events of fate that Han Dong has experienced before, and also distinct from the evil, wild creatures or higher-ranked demons outside the city.
The ‘strange’ here is exhibited in form, power, and even the most basic understanding.
This makes some conventional battle experiences ineffective.
You need to understand the essence of “Strange Tales” through various details in the fight, find the correct response.. one misstep, and you could be in mortal danger.
It can’t be solved merely by relying on one’s fists themselves.
“Strange Tale – Huan ghost” completed, along with a hidden event as well.
Han Dong’s physical ability and seed energy are excessively consumed, he needs rest for some time.
Mia is the most injured.
Her body has multiple slash wounds, a few of which are in the waist and abdomen. You could even see her internal organ structure, having been only minimally treated with spider silk for hemostasis.
Right now,
Mia is receiving medical treatment in Mr. Aha’s “shop.”
As for the harvest, this trip was quite profitable.
Obtaining the ownership of the demon sword in exchange for the ten-point deposit paid earlier…Even when she was sent back to the shop and her consciousness was blurry, Mia still held the demon sword tightly in her arms, not allowing anyone to touch it.
Additionally,
Han Dong was instrumental in the hidden event, helping Mr. Aha to the best of his ability… Whether it was scouting, killing enemies, or finally gaining the control of the “skin” and the hot spring hotel, Han Dong was credited for it.
The intimacy between the two went directly from “neutral” to “friendly.”
Han Dong’s team enjoys a ten percent discount when shopping in any store in paradise.
“Shop – Storage Room”
Mr. Aha, appreciating Han Dong’s help, temporarily lends him the storage room and some medical supplies with low value.
Mia is lying on a flat cart in the storage room.
A large amount of blood has flowed out of her body, she’s very weak…Even though her body is pale and trembling, she still holds the demon sword tightly, as if scared that others would take it away.
Mr. Aha only provides the venue and some materials; naturally, he won’t help with healing.
Within the team, Mia is initially the medical assistant.
Abe and Winry have no knowledge about medical treatment, other than taking medicine, they know nothing.
The responsibility of healing Mia naturally falls upon Han Dong.
At least, Han Dong has no issues with detail operation, he has dissected no less than five thousand mice in his past life, and has also performed some simple animal stitching surgeries.
During the treatment, the storage room is locked, only leaving the two inside.
Han Dong’s gaze never deviates or disperses, carefully scanning over all the wounds on Mia’s body.
“Fifty… three and at least ten of them are very deep.
The cold entered her body, relying entirely on the little spiders in her body and the curse to prop it up.
She can still maintain the normal function of most of her body under such circumstances, she is indeed someone who’s had ‘insect attachments.’”
Found a small lamp that could provide ample light.
Then, using a kind of thin thread that could aid in healing from the storage room, began the stitching of the wounds.
Eight hours were spent in the surgery.
Han Dong stitched every thread very meticulously. Relying on Mia’s own insect self-healing ability, the surgery was very successful.
Just the internal chill was tough to get rid of.
At this time, they definitely cannot let Togu come and inject lava energy.
Not only will it not neutralize… But it will cause Mia to die instantly.
“Stitching is complete… Next, Mia can only gradually dispel the chill in her body slowly, which may take more than a day.”
Han Dong also looks exhausted. He carries Mia, who is light, out of the storage room.
“Thank you, Mr. Aha, we’ll be leaving first…”
“Aha… keep this thing safe.”
Mr. Aha keeps his promise and hands a Prajna Mask to Han Dong, it’s given to Miss Chen Li to refine the evil energy inside and make it her own.
“Thank you.”
“I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future, young man.” Mr. Aha waves goodbye to Han Dong.
We can’t stay in the shop area for too long. If other prisoner teams come looking, it will be really troublesome.
“Is Mia okay now?” Winry has been waiting at the door all along.
“She’s fine… She just needs a little time to recover.”
During Mia’s surgery.
Abe has been squatting on the roof of the old building all the time, keeping an eye on the surroundings in owl mode, and immediately went downstairs to join the team… but Abe seems to be a little guilty.
“I’m the one to blame… I tried to destroy the locust tree and missed a lot of opportunities. I couldn’t help Mia wholeheartedly.”
This is also Abe’s first time dealing with such strange, untouchable opponents. He’s a bit powerless in combat… While on the rooftop, monitoring the surroundings, Abe has been reflecting on these issues.
When dealing with the strange, you have to abandon your normal combat mode.
“It’s okay, Mia’s recovery ability is much stronger than ordinary people… Let’s find a hotel and rest first.”
Winry immediately leans over, “Vice captain, you take a rest, let me carry Mia.”
“Hmm…”
Who would have known, Mia, one hand holding onto the demon sword, another hand tightly hugging onto Han Dong.
It seems the two ‘things’ are her treasures, even in her unconscious state, she won’t let go…
Forcing Mia to let go might result in wound tearing.
Since it’s like this, Han Dong can only continue carrying her.
However, Mia’s body is really light. Probably related to her ‘insect attachment’ ability… Only weighs about thirty kilograms, it’s not a bother at all.
To be on the safe side.
They only booked one room in the hotel.
Abe seems to be very upset about the Strange Tales, he doesn’t want to sleep… He plans to patrol the entire hotel first, to check the possibility of being tracked by other prisoner teams.
Winry, on the other hand, filled the bathtub with water, locked the door, and enjoyed a blissful bath.
Therefore, only Mia and Han Dong were left in the room…
When Han Dong tried to gently put Mia on the bed… Mia still refused to let go, and pulled Han Dong onto the bed as well.
Mia, relying on instinct, treats Han Dong as her possession, hugging him tightly from the front.
Just as Han Dong was trying to break free…
Mia, who was chilled from the inside because of her battle injuries, pitifully said, “I… I’m cold.”
“Awake?”
Han Dong checked her and found that Mia was sleep-talking.
“Sigh… really can’t do anything about you.”
During the operation, although Mia’s consciousness was blurred, she was very clear that it was Han Dong who was stitching her wounds one by one, so Han Dong was fully integrated into her subsequent dream.
Unknowingly, the night passed.
Mia, who woke up groggily, vividly remembers everything that happened in her dream.
At present, on the big bed.
She was hugging someone, naturally connecting it with the people and story in her dream.
“Nicholas…”
Mia, who had just woken up, immediately took the initiative and turned over.
Unfortunately,
Ding… The sound of the card reader.
Han Dong was standing at the door holding the breakfast supplied by the hotel, a fully restored Mia was hugging Winry.
