Chapter 84 Drug-induced attack Inside the curtain, glass test tubes are densely packed and neatly arranged. Each test tube contains liquids of different volumes, colors, and viscosities, and is sealed with a cork or glass stopper. "Some small personal experiments," Old Mr. Shattuck chuckled, sliding his fingers back and forth over the dozen or so neatly arranged test tubes, and finally stopped above one of them, "Well, it may meet your needs." He pinched the upper end of the test tube, pulled it out, placed it vertically in front of his eyes and shook it slowly, causing the liquid inside to sway with it. The test tube contains a deep red liquid that is transparent and thin, like a rich red wine. "What is this...?" Lanchester pursed his lips nervously. "To be honest, young master, I am a pharmacist who has taken a different approach," said old Mr. Shattuck. "What you see before you is one of my works." Lanchester began to get impatient: "How should I use it?" Old Mr. Shattuck grinned and said, "It's very simple. Just take an appropriate amount and let the other person take it orally... You should understand the specific method." "Then what is its effect?!" Lanchester's eyes were fixed on the deep red liquid in the test tube.
"Haha, the drug will take effect about an hour after taking it," said Mr. Shatak, smiling even more. "It will make the user lose self-awareness and suppress the alert mechanism in his mind..." Seeing the puzzled look on Lanchester's face, he sighed imperceptibly and continued: "To put it simply, it can make the user obey all instructions from the outside world and never disobey. It will also arouse some instinctive desires related to reproduction. This effect will last for about four hours, and after the drug wears off, the user will lose all memory of the period." Hearing this description, Lanchester was delighted and wanted to stand up excitedly, but the next moment his face turned cold: "Wait, isn't this just a kind of? I can get this kind of thing, what's so rare about it? What I want is something that can have an effect on magicians! Not this kind of stuff that's sold everywhere on the black market!" "Master, you misunderstood," Old Mr. Shatak waved his hand, his tone showing sophistication that did not match his age. "This is not an ordinary medicine. It contains a magic potion rich in the spirituality of the 'decay' realm..." "Hey, do you know what level of transcendent being a magician is?" Lanchester still didn't believe it and interrupted him rudely: "She is a super strong warrior who is equivalent to a spiritualist. Ordinary extraordinary medicines are of no use to her at all. She can probably drink this stuff as if it were water!" "Haha, magician?" Unexpectedly, the other party sneered with disdain, "Master, believe me, for 'us', magicians are the easiest group to deal with." "You mean..." Lanchester frowned, "Can you guarantee that it will work? Wait, being able to work is one thing, but will she be able to discover the spirituality in this thing? Mages are very sensitive to spiritual auras." "Of course, of course not. Don't worry. How dare I deceive you, the son of the Baron Lionsmith?" Old Mr. Shattuck smiled confidently. "I assure you that any mage below the level of 'Light Smelter' will not be able to detect its peculiarities!" The convincing tone gave Lanchester confidence, and he immediately stood up excitedly: "Okay! I want this thing! I don't think you dare to lie to me!" "That's right, that's right..." Old Mr. Shattuck handed the test tube to the other party and reminded him: "Finally, I want to advise you on the dosage. If the other party is a mage, then it should be about... one-third of a tube. Remember not to add more!" Lanchester heard this and asked curiously, "What will happen if there are too many?" "Too much..." Old Mr. Shatak suddenly showed a strange smile, "The mind of the person who takes it will be completely destroyed by the drug and will never be able to recover. From now on, they will become puppets that can only obey orders and endlessly seek physical stimulation..." His tone darkened, but rather than a careful admonition, it sounded more like... some kind of deliberate temptation:
"Master, you don't want that to happen, right?" Lanchester was stunned for a moment, then he grabbed the test tube in his hand, raised the corner of his mouth, and showed a smile that was almost identical to the other person's: "Of course, of course... How could I bear to do such a cruel thing?" "It's a pleasure to work with you then," said Mr. Shattuck, clapping his hands. "As for the price..." Lanchester rushed out of the room impatiently and disappeared into the street outside the gate. Before leaving, he threw out a blank check: "Fill it in yourself!" Old Mr. Shattuck looked at the blank checks gradually falling on the coffee table and sighed silently: "Young people nowadays..." He leaned over to pick up the check, folded it and put it in his pocket, then rolled up the curtain spread on the coffee table and put it back into his coat pocket. As it was rolled up, the back of the curtain was revealed. In the corner, a phrase in wild and flamboyant handwriting was embroidered on it: "Society of Saint Hydra". Sitting in an inconspicuous place in the restaurant lobby, Lanchester's mind gradually returned to reality from his memories of this morning. Looking at Qi Ji who was absent-mindedly eating steak in front of a strange man not far away, he cursed fiercely in his heart: "You are such a bastard! Seeing that I couldn't hook you up, you immediately went to look for another man, right? Oh, wait and see how I will deal with you!" A sinister smile appeared on his face, making his originally handsome face look a little creepy. After he came out of the "Mana Tide Club", he asked around for news about Qi Ji, wanting to find her as soon as possible and then put the magic potion into her mouth. God helps those who work hard, and it didn’t take him long to find Qi Ji’s location. There was no way. Her outfit was too eye-catching in public, and the news spread quickly after she only sat there for a few dozen minutes. With Lanchester's connections, it would be hard not to find someone. He then rushed over upon hearing the news and successfully gave her the red wine mixed with the potion to drink. "Oh, you dare to go against me?" He thought as he took out a test tube from his pocket. "So what if you are a magician? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have the power? Humph..." The inside of the test tube was empty, not a drop of the originally deep red liquid was left. "I will make you pay the price..." After putting the test tube away, he took out a golden pocket watch from his pocket and opened it: "It's already been fifteen minutes...how long are they going to take?" If Qi Ji is still in this restaurant when the drug takes effect, things will be a bit difficult. As soon as this doubt arose, the sound of a chair being moved was heard at Qi Ji's table. Lanchester looked hurriedly and saw that the two men had put down their knives and forks, stood up and walked towards the stairs.
"Finally finished eating!" He was delighted and hurried to follow. The strange man went to the front desk to pay the bill, and then said goodbye to Qi Ji at the hotel entrance. As for Qi Ji, he walked in one direction. "Poor thing, you don't even know you've fallen into this bitch's trap." Seeing that only the man paid, Lanchester shook his head sympathetically, "After the deed is done, it's not impossible for me to share her with you for a few hours... Tsk, forget it, I can use her by myself..." While keeping an eye on the time on his pocket watch, he followed closely behind Qi Ji, but also kept a considerable distance to avoid being discovered. "Huh? She's going to... the South District?!" Seeing the direction Qi Ji was heading, he was surprised. Why go to a place like that? I don't understand. "Well, the behavior of this kind of person cannot be understood with normal thinking..." Enduring the dirty ground and unpleasant smell, he followed Qi Ji into the southern area. “Almost…almost…” Hiding behind a wall, he stared at the hands of his pocket watch nervously. Now, it has been more than fifty minutes since Qi Ji drank the red wine. According to Mr. Shatak, the drug will soon take effect! "Very good, this place is perfect... Goddess, thank you for your favor!" Lanchester excitedly observed the environment around Qi Ji. It was a cold alley, silent except for the sound of dripping sewage, and no one was in sight. Once the effect of the medicine she takes takes effect here, that will be the perfect time to take action myself! "Very good...very good, little bitch, I have prepared many interesting 'toys' to serve you. I hope the magician's body can withstand my passion... Uh, weird..." He stumbled and almost fell. "What's going on... I feel dizzy, could it be that I have heatstroke?" "Hey, that kid over there!" I was in a trance when I suddenly heard a sharp shout beside my ear, "I'm talking to you! What are you doing wandering around here alone?" Lanchester turned his head in a daze and saw two young men arm in arm, shouting at him arrogantly: "Kid, do you know whose territory this is? If you don't give us some benefits, you can't even think about getting over here... Hey, I'm talking to you!... Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that look?!..." He couldn't hear the voices behind him clearly, but he felt that...these two unkempt hooligans looked more and more handsome for some reason... ======================== Here are nine chapters, please enjoy! Chapter 85 Trigger "Ahhhh!——" Qi Ji let out a series of adorable screams, and rushed out of the southern area like crazy, heading straight for the Iris Manor in the central area, running so fast that he left a trail of afterimage.
Suddenly a horizontal wooden bar appeared on the road. She was unable to dodge and was tripped. She fell heavily to the ground and her newly bought windbreaker was torn. But she immediately got up, ran into a corner, leaned down, held the wall with one hand, pressed her chest with the other hand, and began to retch loudly. Tears were squeezed out of her eyes, but nothing came out of her mouth. However, this seemed to make her feel better. She leaned her back against the wall, raised her head, and gasped for breath. The body slid down little by little, and finally sat on the ground. “Ahhh…Ahhhh, so disgusting!” She never dreamed that the ingredients Lanchester added would have such an effect! Her original idea was to lead the guy to a deserted place and observe his reaction carefully after the drug took effect. After all, he used drugs to torture himself even though he knew that he at least had the strength of a magician. There must be something fishy going on, and it is necessary to investigate further. But unexpectedly, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from Lanchester's position, and it was not his own. Qi Ji hurried over to save him. As a result, when he got there, he saw Lanchester tearing his clothes into pieces and torturing the two skinny and dark men under him. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Two brothers whose names I don’t know! I really want to save you, but… ahem, well…” “Wuwuwawawawa——” Recalling that foul-smelling scene, her young mind could not bear the shock. She could not help but kneel on the ground, supporting herself with her hands and retching again. She may need a lifetime to heal from just a few seconds of witnessing... "...Little girl?" A clear and crisp voice came from the front, "Are you okay?" Qi Ji raised his head and what came into his sight was a bright golden color. In front of me was a young girl I had never seen before. She looked to be in her twenties, with a pretty face and a tall figure. She was wearing a long skirt with good texture and carrying a small leather bag, which was a real eye-catcher. The most eye-catching thing is the long golden hair, which shines brightly in the morning sunlight, revealing a holy and dignified aura. At this moment, she was half squatting with her hands on her knees, standing a few steps away and looking at herself. Her eyes were as blue as a lake, revealing a hint of worry and concern. "Uh, I'm fine..." Qi Ji shook his head and slowly got up from the ground. He clapped his hands to shake off the dirt and used words to dispel the other party's worries. "Really? I saw your state just now..." The worry in the girl's eyes had not yet dissipated. She stood up straight, took out a handkerchief from her bag, and handed it to Qi Ji: "Wipe your hands first, the floor is dirty...Are you really okay? Did something bad happen to you?" "No, really no, thank you..." Qi Ji took the handkerchief and pretended to rub it on his clean palm a few times, his tone slightly embarrassed. Thinking carefully, my behavior just now was indeed easy to cause misunderstanding. If a delicate, adorable and pitiful girl is hiding in a street corner crying loudly, and her clothes are disheveled and dirty... then what happened to her? Emmmm…
Even though she wasn't crying and didn't look pitiful, the tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes due to dry heaving made it hard not to think of it that way. Seeing the other party's evasive eyes, the blonde girl seemed to confirm her guess more and more, and said in a serious voice: "Little girl, if you encounter misfortune, you must speak up! Tolerating it alone will only indulge the evil thoughts of bad people and make them more rampant." Unlucky? I don't have any, but in a small alley in the South District, two poor strangers are now suffering...
