Soul of Negary

Chapter 201: Vol3 Ch1: Sickness

The first thing Negary saw was his own pair of high-standing bosoms. Since he used Lan Shan’s [Origin] to transmigrate, it was understandable that the body he transmigrated into was a female one. Either way, he would soon be able to create a viral body for himself and leave this body for Lan Shan.

〖 From the images I saw before, this world seems to be a bit unusual 〗

〖 Their average height was much higher than normal, both their faces and names seemed to be Western, but they were most likely not pure humans 〗

〖 As seen from one of the first images, humans should have evolved from a certain long-eared species 〗

〖 I am currently lying on a bed, most likely the same body who was in bed in the very last image, but both the bald middle-aged man and the man who was called Dr. Sitia doesn’t seem to be in the room 〗

On the side of the bed was a basin, which was filled with a bright red liquid, apparently a mix of water and blood. Negary could sense a slight sensation of pain and numbness coming from the left wrist of this body, so most likely it was her blood in the basin.

〖 Bloodletting therapy? 〗

This was a type of medical treatment that lacked any clinical research, but used to exist in early history in many places of the world.

〖 It doesn’t seem right 〗

Negary silently listened and heard various voices from another room, one of which was the voice of Dr. Sitia.

“There shouldn’t be any issues, at least it would not act up again this month...” the following content of the conversation seemed to be sensitive, as Dr. Sitia’s voice became slightly inaudible.

“Furthermore, I will not be able to provide treatment for miss Chloe again next month” Dr. Sitia apologetically said: “Sir Farnate, I hope that you will be able to find another doctor”

“Won’t Dr. Sitia reconsider? After all, there aren’t many who have your medical expertise in Lohr” this was the voice of the middle-aged man, referred to by the doctor as Farnate, most likely this body’s father.

〖 Was this because of a medical issue? Or because of another reason? 〗

Lan Shan’s [Origin] easily took over this body without any obstruction from the original body’s owner.

〖 Perhaps, this was due to the will of the world 〗

“I’ve made up my mind. Medical practice cannot save Lohr” Dr. Sitia replied in a whisper, showing clear disaffection of this town.

If Killer J was here, he could definitely comment something like:

“Woodman Lu (Lu Xun), Iron fist Sun (Sun Zhong Shan), Chekhov, Bing Xin, Guo Mo Ruo, Conan Doyle and the rest would surely support you[1]”

Disregarding their conversation, Negary could occasionally hear the sound of horse carriages resounding from outside, but they all appeared to be in a lot of hurry, as if there was some sort of imminent danger.

The conversation soon ended, followed by the sound of a horse carriage leaving. The middle-aged man then came in together with a maid, saw that Negary was awake and sighed: “So, you’ve woken up?”

The bald man Farnate very quickly left, leaving only the maid Lunchances to clean the basin without any intention of talking to Negary, which confused Negary somewhat.

Farnate’s attitude towards his daughter was considerably strange, as he didn’t express any care even when she was sick, nor did he try to talk to her after she had woken up, as if there was no need to talk to his daughter at all.

〖 It’s like an attitude towards a burden〗

〖 And a burden that he simply can’t discard 〗

Negary determined.

〖 This bloodletting therapy must be done once a month, or something would occur. From what Farnate had shown, his status should be quite considerable, the horse carriage arrived at the back door and not the front door, which means that this therapy was something that shouldn’t come to light 〗

〖 From the images I saw, perhaps this is somewhat related to one of the monsters 〗

Negary analyzed and quickly got to a possible truth, bit by bit.

〖 Through bloodletting, it is possible to suppress some sort of monster-related sickness 〗

The maid Lunchances swiftly cleaned up everything in the room, rolled a cart of food inside, then immediately left without a single word.

Negary could even hear the sound of a metal lock and chains being engaged from the outside. Quite obviously, this ‘miss Chloe’ had been locked inside this room, completely suitable with his assumption of her being a burden.

After closely observing this body, Negary sat up on the bed. She was around 16-17 years old, from the reflection on the window, it could be seen that her appearance was quite decent.

The food for her wasn’t of low quality, after finishing the meal, Negary walked up to the door and pushed it slightly, confirming that the door was extremely firm, as if it had been specifically reinforced. This door would make it hard for anyone to force their way out from the inside.

As he approached the window, it was as he had expected: this place was the second floor, the decorated frame of the window had also been reinforced by a metal fence to close it off.

〖 There are a lot of claw marks on the sides of the bed, and they’re considerably deep as well 〗

Negary reached his hand forward, this body’s nails were extremely well-kept and spotless. He then crouched down and searched the floor, seeing that there were a few scraps of what seemed to be cotton stuck between the floorboards.

The only thing in this room made from the same material would be the pillow and blanket.

As Negary tried using this body to rip those items, he found that they were of decent quality, and that this body’s strength alone would not be able to achieve such a feat.

〖 When the sickness acts up, this body would show characteristics of madness, as well as an increase in physical strength 〗

A few moments later, the lock on the door was opened as the maid Lunchances came in to collect the utensils. Without paying any attention to Negary, she swiftly left and once again locked the door.

〖 I’ve grasped the basic situation 〗Negary had finished analyzing his current situation. The will of the world that was supposed to have appeared never showed up, it merely sent him a few pictures and arranged an identity for him, as Negary managed to understand their conversations earlier without any issues.

〖 To further understand this world, I will need other clues 〗

Currently, Negary’s soul wasn’t completely weakened like the previous time he traversed worlds, but this transmigration method obviously still had its issues.

〖 The transmigration method needs to be improved further, as for the coordinates of other worlds, this world surely have some 〗

Negary silently thought to himself. Since this world moved in a set orbit and had encountered the Disaster world in the past, there was a high possibility of it coming into contact with other worlds as well, simply by following its orbit.

〖 This world is very strange; as this town alone seems to have a lot of issues 〗Negary observed what he could about this world through the window.

All the structures in this town were constructed in the same style, with a large main road with narrow interlinking alleyways connected through ladders and stairs, causing the layout to appear very intricate and complicated, if someone wasn’t used to this place, they would most likely get lost.

Looking from afar, there were marks of various weapons scattered throughout the walls of the main road, occasionally accompanied by patches of dried blood as well.

〖 The most urgent thing right now is to probe the situation of this world, then collect the necessary amount of flesh to construct a viral body through a safe way. Constantly remaining in Lan Shan’s body wouldn’t be a good idea, especially when this body is so clearly problematic 〗like always, Negary decided to remain in the shadow first, without clearly understanding this world, it would be best to stay cautious.
