Chapter 1039: Treatment Begins! Absorbing the "Immortal Power"! [4500]

After listening to this, Souji's beautiful eyes, which were already wide open, were stretched to the limit.

She repeatedly glanced at Qing Deng and "Komuki Goro" with a look as if she had seen a ghost.

The vividness of his expression is the best interpretation of the word "unbelievable".

She tried so hard to digest the overwhelming amount of information that she even forgot to blink.

After a long while, she gradually recovered and stammered back:
"...Qing, Qing Deng, you are not joking with me, are you?"

Qing Deng's serious expression remained unchanged:
"How could I possibly joke with you about something like this?"

Seeing that Qing Deng was not joking, the look of surprise on her face became increasingly intense.

Then, she turned her head to look at Ogata and asked:

"If I absorb the 'power of immortality'... will I become an immortal? Just like Yaobikuni?"

Ogata smiled:

"Not at all. I can assure you of that."

"The 'immortal power' in my body is originally incomplete, so the 'immortal power' contained in my body fluids is very rare."

"Let alone giving you eternal life, it's even a question whether I can cure your illness."

"Even if you mutate, it is impossible for you to become immortal."

Hearing Ogata say this, Souji secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Ogata's voice continued:
"Based on my personal experience, if you successfully absorb it and do not mutate in the process, then you will most likely recover and have a stronger body."

"In addition to prolonging life, another major effect of the 'power of immortality' is to transform the human body."

"Anyone who successfully absorbs the 'power of immortality' will possess a physique far superior to that of an ordinary person."

"In other words, this is both a danger and an opportunity for you."

"If you can't make it, you'll die; if you make it, you'll have a new life."

The facial lines of Souji, which had just relaxed, tensed up again.

"Will my life span become exceptionally long? I don't want eternal life, but I also don't want to live too long."

Ogata spread his hands:

"Probably not. Even for me, the best I can do is live to be 200 years old. As for you... you should only live a little longer than the average person."

After hearing this, Zong Si let out a long sigh:

"Is that so... That's good. I'll be satisfied if I can die like a normal person."

Although Ogata clearly stated that the "power of immortality" also has the effect of transforming the body and making the absorber have a stronger physique, she doesn't seem to care about this.

The hesitation on his cheek had not yet disappeared.

Suddenly, I was informed of the existence of the "immortals"; the familiar "Boss Komu" was an "immortal"; my worldview changed dramatically; and I had to decide in a short period of time whether to absorb this so-called "immortal power" of unknown origin...

Qing Deng is a time traveler and has a more magical talent system in his body, so his ability to accept is stronger.

On the other hand, Souji is a native through and through!

Not to mention time travel and systems, she probably hasn't even read any fantasy-themed literary works. At most, she has heard some ghost stories.

It's normal for her to feel overwhelmed.

However, perhaps due to her personality, she is very receptive to these "new things".

After a while, she gradually regained her composure and began to ponder in secret.

After about 10 seconds, she took a deep breath:

"...I understand. Please let me drink your blood!"

Ogata raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He seemed quite surprised that the General had made up his mind so quickly, so he asked back:

"Are you sure? Did you hear what I just said? There are considerable risks in absorbing the 'power of immortality'. If the absorption fails, you will die earlier and in greater pain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he received a resounding reply from the General Manager:

"Yeah! I'm sure!"

"This is the method that Qing Deng finally found to cure me."

"If I refuse, wouldn't that be too unfair to him?"

"and……"

She paused, bit her lip, her eyes dimmed slightly, and she clenched the quilt with both hands.

"And...I want to live..."

She suddenly raised her eyes and looked straight at Ogata, her eyes gleaming with determination.

"It took a lot of effort to make the Shinsengumi stronger."

“It took a lot of effort to get to where we are today.”

"If I die on my sickbed, if I am unable to fight with Qing Deng until the very end... I really won't be willing to accept this!"

"I want to continue fighting alongside Qing Deng!"

"I want to continue wearing the light green haori!"

There was a hint of tears gleaming in her bright big eyes.

Honest, genuine emotions poured out like a dam breaking.

Since she fell ill, she has been pretending to be strong, always smiling and acting calmly, as if she is not afraid of illness or death.

At this moment, she revealed her panic and reluctance in front of others for the first time.

Her trembling little hands clutching the quilt expressed her wishes better than any words.

Seeing this, Qing Deng said nothing, but silently stretched out his right hand and covered the small hand closest to him - in the blink of an eye, the violent trembling gradually subsided.

Ogata listened carefully, and after Souji finished speaking, he slightly curled up the corners of his mouth, as if smiling.

"I understand. I have received your determination!"

As if responding to the other party's determination, he adopted a sonorous and powerful tone at the end of his words.

"Well, without further ado, Kuro, please lend me your wakizashi."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Kiryu pulled out the wakizashi from his waist without hesitation and handed it over.

Ogata took it and tested the sharpness of the wakizashi with his fingertips. After confirming that there was no problem, he lowered his head and said to Souji:

"What you are going to do next is very simple. All you have to do is drink my blood. It may taste a little bitter, so please be patient."

After saying that, he gathered the five fingers of his right hand and clenched the wakizashi tightly.

Phew!

With the dull sound of the blade entering the flesh, the sharp wakizashi pierced straight through his left wrist!

Ogata did not stop the blade, but pulled it down vertically, cutting a hideous wound!

Suddenly, scarlet blood gushed out of the wound like a fountain! The air was suddenly filled with a pungent smell of blood!

It pierced the carotid artery in the left wrist and left such a long wound... If it were an ordinary person, he would have rolled on the ground in pain.

On the other hand, Ogata didn't even blink, as if he couldn't feel the pain at all.

After cutting his left wrist, Ogata quickly took out the cup he had prepared earlier and placed it under the wound to collect the blood.

As he prepared the blood, Aoto helped Souji up and sat her up.

Because the artery was cut, the blood flowed very quickly, like a faucet, rushing down.

After a while, the cup was filled with blood, which looked extremely horrifying.

"Drink."

He said as he handed the cup of blood to Souji.

Looking at the scarlet color and smelling the unpleasant smell, she couldn't help but frown slightly, looking embarrassed.

Any normal human being would feel aversion to drinking the blood of their own kind - this is due to their genes and cannot be disobeyed - even the "Heavenly Sword" who has killed countless enemies is no exception.

Asking her to violate the genetic ban and drink human blood in big gulps... Although she was mentally prepared, her expression still changed.

She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and then grabbed the cup with a heroic momentum, and "gulp", "gulp" poured the thick blood into her mouth. As the blood entered her mouth, her already tightly furrowed brows became even more wrinkled.

Looking at her reaction, she looks like she will vomit at any moment.

However, she endured it... Although she drank slowly, the thick blood in the cup was indeed decreasing little by little.

While Souji was drinking the blood, Ogata took out a second cup and continued to collect blood.

Seeing this, Qing Deng couldn't help but ask:
"Do you have to drink so much?"

Ogata responded calmly:

"I don't know how much blood I should drink."

"Just keep drinking until your body reacts."

"I estimate that she will need to drink about 4 or 5 cups before it takes effect."

Since Ogata said so, Qing Deng couldn't say anything else.

Because the blood was flowing quickly, by the time Souji finished the first cup, the second cup had already been handed to his lips.

"Would you like to drink more..."

Souji drooped his features, looking like he was about to cry.

Ogata chuckled a few times and joked:

"Good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the sick."

Although he complained, Souji still took the cup obediently.

In this way, she drank one cup after another...

After the fourth cup, Ogata stopped bleeding and stared at Souji quietly.

From the beginning, Qing Deng kept looking at Ogata with surprise.

The capacity of that cup is not small, nearly 100 ml.

4 cups of blood is 400 ml.

400 ml of blood...this is not a small number!

If a normal person loses 400 ml of blood in a short period of time, the effective blood circulation in the body will be significantly reduced. In mild cases, the person will feel dizzy and weak, while in severe cases, the person may experience symptoms of shock.

On the other hand, Ogata's face showed no strange expression, his breathing was steady, his expression was normal, as if nothing had happened.

It is not difficult to guess that this must be the "immortal power" at work.

For the first time, Qing Deng intuitively felt the extraordinary power of the "Immortal".

Although he was surprised, he couldn't care about Ogata for the time being.

His attention now was entirely on Souji.

"Xiao Si, how are you? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

He asked, looking the other man up and down cautiously.

Souji blinked, touched his shoulders, arms, and then looked at his chest.

"Apart from feeling sick in my mouth and having an upset stomach, there's nothing else. Maybe I didn't drink enough..."

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
“Mmm…! Mmm…!”

Her voice stopped abruptly...but her eyes bulged and a painful groan came out from the depths of her throat. Her hands reflexively moved to her chest, wrinkling her clothes into a ball, and her expression became gloomy.

She just collapsed on the bed, her whole body twitching slightly.

All of the above happened in just a few seconds.

"Xiao Si?!"

Qing Deng exclaimed and subconsciously leaned over to hug Souji. Even through a piece of clothing, his hands could feel the scorching heat.

Although he doesn't know medicine, based on his personal experience, Souji's current body temperature is at least 39 degrees!
He was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, his temperature soared to 39 degrees... The culprit can only be the "immortal power"!

Following the high temperature, Qing Deng's hands felt a wet touch - Souji's clothes were soaked with cold sweat like a waterfall.

In just a few seconds, her skin was covered with cold sweat. A few strands of hair stuck to her face, making her look even more fragile. This was what was meant by "sweating like rain."

Souji took several deep breaths, trying to concentrate, and murmured in a soft voice:

“So, so uncomfortable…”

Qing Deng understood Zongsi's character. This girl liked to show off her strength.

If she wasn't in great pain, she would never have made such an expression.

At this time, Ogata's extremely calm voice came over:
"Don't panic. This is a necessary process for absorbing the 'power of immortality'."

"Back then, my absorption process was even more painful than hers."

"Not only because the 'immortal power' I absorbed was more concentrated and violent, but also because I was fighting against a powerful enemy at that time."

"I was swinging my sword to kill the enemy while absorbing the 'power of immortality'... Oh, when I think about it, it's a miracle that I survived."

"In short, she can only rely on herself now. We can't help her in any way."

After hearing this, Qing Deng couldn't help but look gloomy.

He gently laid Souji flat on the bed, then took the basin and towel beside him, soaked the towel, squeezed out the water, and spread it flat on Souji's forehead.

Although it is of no use, at least it makes her feel better.

Ogata's voice came again:
"She doesn't need to take any more medicine now."

"Let her eat on time, drink plenty of water, and take care of her as best as possible."

"She could be fully recovered this afternoon, or she could take three months to recover."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility of 'absorption failure, explosion and death'."

"Anyway, I've done everything I could. The rest depends on her luck."

"If anything unexpected happens, please inform me."

"I'm going to go back and knead the dough first."

After saying that, Ogata stood up slowly and straightened his clothes. Without waiting for Qing Deng's response, he walked straight to the door.

Qing Deng quickly raised his head, looked at him straight, and said seriously, word by word:
"Thank you."

Although Souji is still in danger, Ogata has done his best and given her a chance to live.

Such a great favor deserves our gratitude a thousand times.

Ogata waved his hand casually without even turning his head.

"I didn't do anything big. Go thank your master."

Upon hearing this, Qing Deng subconsciously turned his head to look at Boss Kiryu beside him.

Boss Kiryu smiled calmly, with a nonchalant look on his face - it seemed as if he was saying: No need to thank me, I just did what I should do.

Since the other party expressed such an attitude, Qing Deng did not say much, but just silently cast a grateful look at the old man.

Although he didn't know the specific details, he could roughly guess that the old man must have made a great effort to get Ogata's help.

At this moment, Qing Deng suddenly remembered something and said to Ogata:
"Oh, yes, your hand..."

He paused before he finished speaking - only at this moment did he realize belatedly: since some time ago, the wound on Ogata's left wrist had stopped bleeding.

"Oh, don't worry about this wound, it's just a minor injury. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten that my left wrist is still in the 'ventilation' state."

As Ogata spoke, he paused, turned around, raised his left wrist, showed Qing Deng the hideous wound, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"Tachibana-kun, look carefully. This is how the 'Undead' heals their wounds."

At the moment he finished speaking, worm-like strands of flesh emerged from around his wound!

These shreds of flesh were like strands of silk, interweaving with each other, first weaving the broken tendons, then the ruptured blood vessels, and then the bones, muscles, and skin... In the blink of an eye, the hideous wound was "sutured" and restored to its original state!

Ogata specifically grasped his left hand several times to prove that his wound had indeed healed.

When he cut his left wrist, Ogata was extremely cruel, as if he was not cutting his own hand but someone else's. Not only did he cut the aorta, but he must have also severed the tendons.

Such a serious injury was healed in just a moment... Witnessing this scene of trampling on biology, Qing Deng was so shocked that he stood there in a daze.

Hearing about the power of "Undying Force" a hundred times is not as good as seeing its power once in person!
Before Qing Deng could recover from his shock, he heard Ogata suddenly say:
"Jujun, thanks to you for stopping me, I just remembered something very important - are you free tomorrow? I want to talk to you about something."
