Chapter 348 347. [Blood Therapy]
Two little girls sat next to Lan En. They looked at each other from time to time, and then glanced at Lan En with a blush on their faces.
But then, he would quickly lower his head into the dinner plate.
Lan En doesn’t think little girls have any thoughts. Little girls at this age just like beautiful ‘things’.
Dolls, small jewelry, etc., they feel shy just because their ‘doll’ can move and talk.
After Lan En thanked Viola for hosting the table, he started to pick up the knife and fork.
Viola behaved very calmly in front of Lan En. Lan En guessed that this was because she only had Gascoigne in her eyes.
Having a meal with a friend I just met, in his warm home, with him, his wife and children. This daily and ordinary scene almost made Lan En feel a sense of detachment.
Compared with the abnormal moonlight last night, the roars and stench of beasts under the moonlight, the silent slaughter of hunters, and the screams of ordinary people dying, this kind of daily life is too contrasting.
Everyone living in Yanan, even little girls of Olivia or Victoria's age, seems to be used to this huge contrast.
In other words, they couldn't feel the contrast at all.
Bloody and crazy nights and normal and busy days should exist together in this city.
The moment he realized the existence of this sense of detachment, Lan En only felt that the hand holding the knife and fork had a double shadow and ripples in his eyes.
This kind of brain disharmony, which seemed to be caused by overwork, never appeared again after he implanted the gene seed.
He showed no strangeness on his face, and this strange visual dislocation and phantom itself disappeared quickly. It just appeared for a moment.
"Mentos, comprehensive self-examination of the body."
The biological intelligence brain responded immediately. The brain cells integrated the biochemical indicators from all parts of the body and issued a standardized report to the subject.
The test results showed that everything was normal except that the brain was a little tired.
"Sir, I also observed your blurred vision just now. But with our current level of knowledge, we can only draw this conclusion - visual signal confusion caused by brain fatigue."
< br>Lan En didn’t say anything more.
Is it really because the brain is tired? He had eaten well and slept well before coming to this world. After only staying up for one night in this world, he was so exhausted that his vision blurred?
There is something wrong with this world, it is exerting some influence on me that I am not aware of.
Lan En confirmed this again.
"Isn't it to your taste, Mr. Lane?"
On the other side of the dining table, Viola asked nervously.
Lan En came back to his senses in time and smiled calmly: "No, it's okay. I just wandered in the wild for too long and haven't sat down at the table to eat in a long time."
"Ah, that's good. "Viola was very relieved.
"By the way, can you tell me more about Yanan? I have never been to such a strange city."
Describing this huge city built on a mountain At this time, Lan En seemed very careful in his choice of words.
Gascoigne put new bandages on his eyes. He used a knife and fork to cut the food on the plate while confirming with Lan.
"You want to know more about Yanan. Well, let me think about what I was most confused about when I first came here! You must be wondering now why people know about Yanan's lycanthropy, but this city has still not been affected by it. People are abandoned, right?”
“That’s true”
Lan nodded.
Even in the magical world where medical concepts are not very developed, people would even regard the plague as some kind of deified symbol, saying in colloquial terms, 'For the sake of the plague', 'For the sake of the plague' something.
Even a farmer with this level of education knows how to run away quickly when a plague breaks out in a place.
Stay away from disease outbreak points.
But in Yanan, lycanthropy has now become so serious that it is necessary to select a few nights to carry out massacres on the street in order to maintain stability during the day.
Walking on the street, most of people’s faces have black hair that has been controlled after contracting the disease.
But still few people wanted to leave.
This is not common sense at all.
Gascoigne did not immediately answer Lan En's question. Instead, he grabbed the unopened bottle of red wine on the dining table and handed it to his wife.
"Open it for me, Viola." The hostess agreed readily, holding the cork in her slender white palms, and with a soft sound of the cork being pulled out of the glass bottle, the red wine was opened.
Viola poured herself and her husband a glass.
The color of the red wine is red like blood, and the taste.
"Suck-" Lan En's nose trembled slightly, and then his brows knitted together.
It smells of blood.
Ever since the cork of the red wine bottle was opened, there was a strong and choking smell of blood in the air!
If it weren't for the witcher's extraordinary senses, he wouldn't even be able to detect that beneath the pungent smell of blood, there is indeed the sweet alcoholic smell of wine.
But Gascoigne and Viola were sipping their red wine glasses naturally, and Oliveira, Victoria, and the two little girls next to Lan didn't show any discomfort.
It all seemed like there was something wrong with Lan En's sense of smell!
“Simple alcohol is not easy to sell in Yanan. Even though this thing is a necessary material for people to relax their spirits, it is really not easy to sell. Until.”
“Until the businessman comes. The alcohol was spiked with blood?”
Gascoigne raised his glass and nodded to Lan En’s question.
“It is not accurate to say that alcohol is not popular in Yanan. It’s not that the Yanan people don’t like alcohol, it’s just that relatively speaking, they are more addicted to blood.”
Just like a vampire, a creature that just saying its name makes people feel like they are seeing a 'bat flying out of the mist in the dark'.
Evil is the background color given to them by people. In many cultural backgrounds, drinking blood is a symbol of evil.
But in Yanan, this has become a very natural, very common, and very reasonable hobby.
The feeling of detachment came again.
The outside sunlight shines into Gascoigne's home through the iron fence wrapped with chains and the glass in the iron fence.
The warm house, beautiful wife, lovely children, and friends who come to visit us are all warm and natural.
But the host and hostess are drinking blood at the dinner table!
Lan En pursed his lips and told himself that this was just a difference between the worlds, so there was no need to make a fuss. After all, the blood in this bottle of red wine does not come from humans, but from livestock.
Gascoigne continued calmly.
“No Yanam people will leave their hometown, because no Yanam people can live without blood and [blood therapy].”
"Outlanders need [blood therapy] to maintain life and fight terminal illnesses. And even if the terminal illness is cured? Then no one can live without [blood therapy]."
Gascoigne put down his glass of wine. , continue to eat food with a knife and fork.
Lan En was a little uncomfortable with the smell of blood and the sense of disconnection from his brain. He only ate the bread and mashed potatoes on the plate.
"Blood therapy. Gascoigne, what exactly is [blood therapy]? Is it addictive?"
"I told you, [blood therapy] is blood transfusion. It is not addictive in itself. As long as you do not rely on blood therapy to fight terminal illnesses, you can stop at any time without any physical discomfort. ”
Gascoigne shrugged and said nonchalantly.
At the end, Viola, a pure local, added with a smile.
"As long as you can let it go, [Blood Therapy] can indeed be stopped at any time."
"Put it down?" Lan En raised his eyes and looked at Viola, who was chatting like usual, " What to let go of?”
“When you let go of the vitality, vitality, and energy that fill your body during [Blood Therapy], it seems that you will never be tired, as if you have returned to the peak state of your body and spirit. I worry about where to vent my energy, but I never worry about running out of energy. ”
Speaking of this, Viola, a native of Yanan, showed a little pride.
“Yanan’s technology is generally higher than that of the outside world, which is largely due to the improvement of people by [blood therapy].”
“Well, although this also caused the local people to That’s all.”
In the end, Viola felt a little embarrassed in front of Lan En.
Because she could easily imagine the sarcastic comments a new arrival would encounter in Yanan.
