Perfume Alchemist

Chapter 324 Smell Awakening

The two proceeded cautiously on the stairs, and did not encounter any abnormal situations along the way.Until they reached the last step on the second floor.

As soon as he turned around, Ah Hao saw Ilya's back.

She was standing in front of the door in a daze, as if she hadn't heard a single sound from the battle that happened downstairs just now.

Howard hurried forward: "Illya, Illya? Can you hear Dad's voice?"

Under Howard's shaking, Illya fell into his arms like a puppet.Her hand still kept knocking on the door and never let go.His pupils stared straight ahead blankly.

Howard gasped.He put his trembling fingers under Illya's nose.

He breathed a sigh of relief when the steady and clear air flowed over his fingers.

"Illya's current situation seems to be very wrong. What's wrong with her?" Ahao frowned and looked at Howard in puzzlement.

Howard kept taking out all kinds of weird things from his pocket, and performed operations that Ahao couldn't understand.

When he took out a silver compass and pressed it on Illya's skin, he finally stopped pulling out things.

The pendulum needle of the compass rotated wildly, and finally pointed to the direction of N.Next to the red N, Ahao also saw a small butterfly symbol.

Howard grabbed the compass in his hand.He said solemnly to Ahao: "It's illusion. Illya should be lost in the world constructed by the magician of the illusion department."

"Anyway, let Illya lie down first."

Ahao spread his coat on the ground, and Howard slowly put Ilya down on the ground.

Then he said to Ahao: "We have to find a way to wake up Illya from the illusion as soon as possible. Otherwise, the operation will last for a long time, and it will leave an incurable mental trauma."

"How exactly?"

Howard scratched his head: "The most common ones are pain and suffocation. This method can forcibly wake up the body's defense mechanism. However, this method is more risky and easy to cause damage. We are not in a hurry now, so we will not consider it."

"Besides, there is voice awakening. Continuous calling may also awaken people under the illusion." Howard was stunned halfway through speaking, "But the sound was so loud just now, Illya didn't wake up. I guess this trick is not That's great."

Ah Hao had a flash of inspiration: "If the sense of hearing is useful, what about the sense of smell? Can smell wake her up?"

"It's worth a try." Howard looked at Ahao, "Do you have any strong-smelling objects with you?"

"That's too much." Ahao put out the perfumes he made one by one.

It's a pity that after Ah Hao tried them one by one, he found that the scent couldn't wake up Ilya.

The smell is more likely.

When he put the sobriety medicine with a strange smell under Illya's nose, Ah Hao obviously saw Illya twitch.

"It works!" Howard looked at Ahao excitedly.He watched Ah Hao trying out bottles of perfume just now, and his nose was a little numb.

"This thing, as long as the effect is stronger!"

Ah Hao felt the smell of sober medicine again.

Stimulating, cooling, plus a pungent smell. ,

Those who study fragrance naturally know how to make stink.

It's like most people who are proficient in medicine are also proficient in poison.

Ah Hao took out the materials in stock.Ahao usually removes the "odor" from these materials.

But this time, he chose to extract it.Then he added a more extreme cooling and pungent smell, refining it into a bottle of "enhanced version of sobriety medicine".

Ah Hao held the cork on the bottle, and moved it away suddenly when he got it under Illya's nose.

An indescribable smell came out.Ahao did not use pure stink, but used the smell element of "choke".

Sure enough, Illya's reaction was quite strong.

"cough cough, cough cough"

She coughed physiologically, followed by a sneeze, a sneeze that couldn't be stopped.

"Ah, Ah"

Illya stands up two inches from the ground every time she sneezes.After more than a dozen sneezes, Ilya sat up halfway from the ground.

She opened her teary eyes and looked around in pain and confusion.

"What kind of smell is this?"

Howard hugged Illya excitedly: "You finally woke up! Just wake up."

Ilya pushed him away with difficulty: "Dad? Why do I feel that my arm hurts and my eyes are dry?"

"You raised your hand for a long time, of course it's sore."

"Then what was that super choking smell just now?"

"It's the enhanced sobriety medicine I made." Ah Hao squatted next to Illya with a smile, "It's what woke you up."

"Wake up?" Ilya covered her eyes with her hands in pain, "I really felt like I was walking in an ever-changing maze just now, and I couldn't get out no matter what."

"Why did I come here suddenly? What's going on here?"

Howard straightened Illya's shoulder and looked at her seriously: "You have been under the illusion. Now I want you to tell me, who cast the illusion on you?"

Illya thought for a moment in confusion: "I was going to knock on Shirley's door, and accidentally fell into the maze below."

"Hey, Shirley, where's Shirley?" Ilya suddenly woke up and looked around.

Then Illya looked straight ahead.Ahao and Howard also moved their eyes over.

It was a seemingly ordinary dark mahogany door with a copper sign [202] on the door.Although the appearance was extremely ordinary, in the eyes of the three of them, it clearly carried abnormal danger.

After Ah Hao was fully armed, he knocked open the wooden door with a stake.Elijah and Howard stood behind him on the left and right, cautiously on guard.

The inside of the door was empty, only the curtains in the room were blown by the evening wind.

The three stepped into the house carefully, and after confirming that there was no one in the house, they searched for clues separately.

Ah Hao walked to the window sill first, and saw some obvious bump marks on the open window.

"The window is open, and the people inside may have gone through the window."

Ilya squatted down and saw a special footprint: "Someone has been to Shirley's room, and it's still an adult male."

"I also found it here." Howard held up two cups of tea. "The black tea is still warm, which means that the person who came in should be Shirley's guest. At least she thinks so."

"Okay." After collecting the information of the three, Ahao came to a not-so-good conclusion, "Xue Li might have been abducted!"

Howard added: "And this person also used illusions on Illya after she found out that she had arrived."

"More than that, he also attacked us, and those bugs are probably his means." Ahao felt that he had pieced together the truth of the matter.

Ilya looked at the two in confusion: "What kind of bug? Are you also under the illusion?"

"It's not an illusion, is it?"

Ah Hao replied in an uncertain tone.

He and Howard looked at each other, speechless for a while.
