Man in the old days, Lord of the Seven Sins

Chapter 68 I Need Your Help

In a dim room.

Filled with a decadent atmosphere.

The filthy walls were covered with green fungus.

There are some clothing items such as cotton batting, linen, and canvas piled up in the corner.

The potholed ground was covered with a layer of wooden boards, and the wooden boards were covered with a lot of dust.

"Sorry, this is the place where I pile up the sundries. It may smell a bit strange, but it is absolutely safe here."

Old Finch lowered the roller blind by the window and lit the kerosene lamp on the table.

Dim light illuminates the room.

John and Reiner sat on the sofa against the wall, looking at the door from time to time, they were in charge of guarding this side.

Rhodes took Margaret into the back room led by Finch.

Old Finch cleaned up the debris on a wooden table and dragged the wooden table to an empty space.

"Mr. Plague Doctor, is this okay?" Old Finch asked in a low voice, and he carefully wiped the wooden table clean with a rag.

"Well, go and boil some hot water, and find some clean cloths."

"it is good."

Old Finch walked out of the back room.

Rhodes put little Finch in his arms on the table, and took the hemp rope hanging on the wall.

"Margaret, help me, I need to fix him first."

"it is good."

Margaret held down little finch's restless hand, and Rhodes started, tying little finch's body to the table.

"Do you want me to be your assistant?"

Margaret watched Rhodes put the medicine box on the table, and took out the scissors and other items inside.

"If necessary, I will call you, and you can go to rest first."

Rhodes took the scissors and cut off some strips of cloth on Little Finch's body.

"it is good."

Margaret sat on a chair beside her and watched Rhodes examine Little Finch seriously.

head.

Both normal human heads and ordinary ghoul heads have data recorded in Rhodes' notebook.

He memorized all these data by heart.

After a series of comparisons with Little Finch's head proportions.

Rhodes found a pimple on Little Finch's cheek.

The specific location is on the left cheek near the edge of the earlobe.

A pulsating meat ball, about 2cm in size, slightly hard, pulsating inside when squeezed, as if there is something inside.

Mark this place.

Rhodes began to examine Little Finch's chest and abdomen area.

It is still compared with the data of normal humans and ordinary ghouls.

There is a raised ball between Little Finch's chest cavity and abdominal cavity, which is similar to the bump on Little Finch's cheek. It is soft, and the squeeze will also transmit internal beats. It is judged that there is some kind of parasite inside. biology.

Mark this place.

Rhodes began to check Little Finch's legs and lower body.

The asexuality of ghouls is also present in young Vinci.

And there is a small hole in Finch's left inner thigh area.

Fingers pinched the hole and separated it to both sides, and Rhodes could see a wriggling worm in the hole.

"Aesop."

Rhodes called out in a low voice.

"As ordered."

Aesop, who had already mastered Rhode's breath, immediately found the correct posture and movement, skillfully manipulating the tiny tentacles into the hole in little Vinci's thigh.

"Oh, great master, I seem to have caught that guy. It wants to resist, but in front of Mr. Aesop, all resistance is powerless."

The black tentacles rolled a dark green worm and forcibly pulled it out.

The red light ball of power of anger floated from the worm and poured into Rhode's body, and at the same time, a green light ball of power of greed floated on Aesop's body.

"Aesop, throw it into the glass first, and help me test it with ghoul serum."

"As ordered."

Aesop began experimenting with the ghoul serum on that worm.

Rhodes picked up the scalpel, and pressed down on the marked position of Little Finch's chest and abdomen, cutting open the meat ball.

puff.

A cloud of dark green liquid splashed out.

Rhode turned his head to avoid it.

A worm with ring-shaped mouthparts drilled out of the meat ball, trying to bite Rhodes' hand.

Rhodes pinched the worm's head.

"Margaret, bring me a glass."

"it is good."

Margaret was fascinated, and when Rhodes called her, she immediately took a glass from the medicine cabinet and put it in Rhodes' hand.

Rhodes put the extracted worms into a glass.

"Aesop, and this one, let's do it together."

"Ok."

"This beautiful lady, please step aside."

Aesop's black tentacles circled Margaret and rolled up the glass.

"I think you are a good match for my master. When will you be able to get married?"

Aesop interrupted abruptly.

Margaret was taken aback, Aesop's words reminded her of the wedding in her dream, the deep sea above the sky, and the blurry figure in the deep sea.

Margaret's complexion became a little pale.

Rhodes saw something wrong with Margaret's complexion, and he whispered, "Aesop is an idiot, you don't have to take his words seriously."

"Of course, I'm an idiot, so don't pay attention to what I say."

Aesop also seemed to realize that he had said something he shouldn't have said, especially since he heard the unkindness in Rhode's tone. Aesop felt that he would probably be hungry for a week.

"Sorry, it's not your problem, I just thought of something."

Margaret shook her head, and she took out the soul orb in her bosom, her eyes filled with worry.

Rhodes glanced at Margaret.

And the soul orb in her hand.

He narrowed his eyes, remembering the words Dani said before his death about the guidance of fate.

"Margaret, after dealing with the matter of Harlow Town and helping West fulfill his wish, maybe we can find a time to have a good chat."

Rhodes pointed to the soul orb in Margaret's hand.

"Sorry for worrying you."

Margaret apologized, she hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell Rhodes something about the dream.

"I think we do need to talk."

"Well, then it's settled, you can take a rest first."

"Ok."

Margaret felt that her current state might affect Rhodes, so she walked to a chair beside her, sat down, and closed her eyes to rest.

Aesop continued to experiment.

Rhodes cleaned up the dark green mucus on Little Finch's chest and abdomen, and applied the medicine.

He set his sights on the fleshy ball on Little Finch's face.

If there are only parasites in it, it means that little Finch's ability to manipulate those pieces of meat is likely to be endowed on his internal organs, so it is necessary to seek Finch's opinion before proceeding to the next step.

Hope to find a clue here.

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

The scalpel slowly sliced ​​through the fleshy ball.

Opening the skin, a protruding hard black ball like a chocolate bean attracted Rhodes' attention.

Especially the line of text engraved on the black ball.

"Margaret, I need your help!"

Rhodes called out in a low voice.

Margaret opened her eyes and looked at Rhodes.

"There seems to be a line of ancient text here, please help me read it."

"it is good."

Margaret stood beside Rhodes, holding her notebook in her hand.

She carefully copied the words on the black ball into her notebook.

"These words are the ancient words of the ghoul sect, and the content recorded on them is"

"Zanghu. Moore is full of dark doors"

Accompanied by Margaret's low-pitched groans.

The door outside the inner room suddenly trembled, and everyone subconsciously looked towards the door.
