The bloody chainsaw was now deeply stuck in the monster's neck. Amid the tearing sound, Lin Yi could clearly see that a small part of the chainsaw had sunk into the neck of the creature, constantly cutting the monster's flesh and tearing off more parts.

【Roar! 】

The monster roared wildly once again.

And the lily of the valley's domain is also on the verge of its limit at this moment, and there is a possibility of disappearing at any time.

This area can no longer survive the next impact.

Although, it is no longer necessary.

Stretching out his hand, Lin Yi charged forward again and signaled Lily of the Valley behind him to stop controlling.

The fox fire and light disappeared in an instant, and the huge monster that finally gained freedom roared furiously and suddenly pulled the chainsaw arm out of its neck.

Then Lin Yi pulled a chain into the wound and went around the broken surface. Then Lin Yi, holding the chain, fell behind the monster, and his fingers holding the chain clenched tightly in an instant.

tear-

Lin Yi didn't have a good way to attack the monster's body that had not yet been seriously injured.

However, if he couldn't do anything about the wound that had already been cut open for most of the time, then he would be underestimating himself.

"Come down here."

Bones and flesh were torn off fiercely at this moment.

The huge head flew up in the air and was pulled down by Lin Yi. The monster corpse, with only half of its neck left, fell to the ground powerlessly, and was dragged by the truck next to it and crashed directly into the wall. The chainsaw arm, which had not stopped rotating yet, cut directly into the chest cavity of the monster corpse due to the angle problem, and the entire underground parking lot was raining blood at this moment.

"Huh...huh..."

Seeing that the battle was finally over, Lily of the Valley took a breath and sat down on the ground.

Lin Yi, who had loosened the chains, turned around and looked at the corpse in the distance. Without hesitation, he took off his backpack, took out the red and white soul-summoning candles one by one, and quickly lit them.

Then, he threw the monster head that he had torn off, which was still howling with its fangs bared and not completely dead, directly into the array of burning summoning candles.

whoosh-

The head disappeared before it even hit the ground.

At the same time, Lin Yi heard a voice in a trance.

[The taste... is weird...]

Hmm, isn’t it different from the evaluation I gave the last time I tasted Besi?

As the blood and flesh sacrifice was collected, Lin Yi could feel that this thing's gaze moved towards the headless corpse that was dissecting itself not far away.

[The taste... is okay... hmm...]

The other party's gaze seemed to turn to the monster's chainsaw arm.

[Hmm? Still quite crispy? Delicious... Great...]

After the corpse completely disappeared, Lin Yi heard such comments, accompanied by the sound of something very solid being chewed and crushed.

In this way, all the power possessed by this mutant will be given to this unknown existence.

So, in this case, can the third second-stage mutant continue to evolve? Lin Yi was a little curious and wanted to know whether that thing could fight with the unknown existence he summoned.

"Phew, all in all, it's over for now."

Turning around, I looked at the messy parking lot and Lily of the Valley sitting on the ground.

Lin Yi paused for a moment, then imitated Carl and gave Lily of the Valley a thumbs up.

Chapter A-19: Suzuran~

After this battle, Lin Yi no longer felt the secret flow of energy.

Lin Yi wiped the blood off his face. His clothes had already been soaked. He let out a breath and then picked up his red and white candles.

A few more were damaged. I can probably perform the summoning ritual three more times before this thing is useless.

Tsk, I have to save as much as possible in the future, and I can't rely on this thing to get out of trouble. But it would be great if there was a way to replenish it. The biggest disadvantage of this thing is that there is too little of it. One less thing to use.

Lin Yi sighed in his heart and walked to the side of Linglan.

The girl had overloaded her Originium skills in the previous battle, so she looked very tired and could hardly stand.

Lin Yi reached out his hand and pulled the girl up from the ground. Seeing that Linglan's legs were shaking a little, he thought for a moment and simply picked her up. He passed one hand under the girl's knees and the other hand gently wrapped around the girl's shoulders, trying to pick her up carefully.

It feels so light.

At this moment, the touch of the fox girl's body made Lin Yi feel that her weight might be less than 30 kilograms.

"Ah, Mr. Lin, Mr. Lin Yi?!"

Completely unprepared for this moment of close contact, Linglan's gem-like eyes widened a little, and she struggled subconsciously. But then she stopped because she had exhausted her strength, and could only lie in Lin Yi's arms somewhat unwillingly.

"Ugh, I don't want to be treated like a child."

Looking up, the little girl looked at Lin Yi with a hint of protest in her eyes.

One could feel that the lily of the valley's furry tail was shaking slightly and rubbing against Lin Yi's arm from time to time.

Itchy.

"This has nothing to do with children or adults. We just need to move you quickly. We have dealt with another second-stage mutant. Once the top leaders of this world find out, they will definitely take further action. Before that, we must move as quickly as possible and not be discovered by them."

Lin Yi's serious words made Linglan stop her little movements.

Indeed, they had taken advantage of the enemy's bombing to conceal their own existence. If their whereabouts were discovered again because of untimely retreat, the next actions would become very troublesome.

So now is not the time for me to be willful.

"I, I understand. Sorry, Mr. Lin Yi, I was a little willful just now."

The girl with her big ears drooping a little said in a frustrated voice, and her cute look made her even more lovable.

While lamenting in his heart that such a lovely child had to appear on the battlefield, and even becoming somewhat accustomed to the cruel scenes, Lin Yi moved quickly while holding Lily of the Valley, and quickly returned to the first floor hall from the stairs.

Speaking of which, there is blood all over my body now. This blood comes from that monster. Could it contain germs or something?

Although it is not clear whether the savior will be infected, for safety reasons, it is necessary to clean up these stains as soon as possible.

Not only myself, but also lily of the valley.

Lowering his head, Lin Yi looked at the lily of the valley, which was covered in blood and looked dirty.

"Ok?"

It was at this moment that Lin Yi felt something. He felt something strange from the fingers that were around the girl's shoulders.

"This is……"

On the side of Lily of the Valley's clothes that was torn, near the shoulder and the arm, Lin Yi felt some small, hard lumps.

Is it something on her clothes? No, it doesn't seem to be. It feels like this thing is growing directly on her body? This feeling, could it be...

"Ah, this, it's no big deal."

Linglan didn't expect Lin Yi to notice some abnormalities in her. She was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand to indicate that he didn't need to worry about it.

However, this attitude makes people more suspicious.

"This is... a black stone. No, this is an Originium. This is the Originium you need to cast spells, Lily of the Valley. Why is it growing on your body?"

Through his special ability of energy resonance, Lin Yi easily sensed the true identity of the crystal growing on one side of the girl's shoulder at this moment.

Not only that, through further sensing, Lin Yi also discovered that there seemed to be such crystals inside the girl's body. These things have merged with her cells to a certain extent, and the degree of fusion is still spreading bit by bit.

What is going on here?

Although the specific situation is still unknown, Lin Yi can be 100% sure that this is definitely not a big deal [normal] situation.

"This... is Originium disease, a disease, but it's not a big problem."

Seeing that Lin Yi was unwilling to move on from the topic, Linglan sighed helplessly and had to tell the truth.

"In the world I live in, if you want to cast spells, you need to rely on Originium."

"But Originium itself is infectious. If you inhale Originium powder for a long time, or if Originium pierces your body, you may be infected with Originium disease."

"Well, this is actually a terminal illness. There is no cure. The infected person's body will continue to precipitate Originium crystals, and eventually all organs in the body will be destroyed and die. Well, don't show that expression, Mr. Lin Yi. Although it is a terminal illness, as a savior, I can get systematic treatment, so my symptoms will remain stable and will not deteriorate further."

The girl who was explaining seriously raised her head and looked at Lin Yi, but she could not understand the emotions in Lin Yi's eyes.

silence.

Lin Yi, holding the lily of the valley and walking up step by step, remained silent the whole time and just continued walking up without saying a word.

"Mr. Lin Yi?"

Sensing that something seemed to be wrong with the other party at this moment, Linglan's voice became a little doubtful.

"...The treatment of the Savior System should be able to cure this disease directly, right? There is no reason why a system that can build a team of Saviors across the multiverse cannot cure your disease. Did you deliberately keep this disease in your body?"

Then, the girl heard Lin Yi's somewhat low voice.

"I was discovered. Well, the system can indeed completely cure my illness, but I don't want that to happen, so I just let the Savior System keep my status at a minimal infection level, and continue to maintain my identity as an infected person."

Nodding slightly, Linglan finally told the truth.

“…Will it hurt?”

Lin Yi's voice became even deeper.

"Yes, I will."

Closing her eyes, the girl did not change the subject or hold back.

"Every moment, the flesh and nerves in my arm are being squeezed by these particles, which causes constant pain."

"Occasionally, it gets more serious. At that time, I feel like I have lost all my strength, especially my hand, which I can't even move. I feel constant and severe pain, as if my body is being torn apart bit by bit. Sometimes the pain is so severe that I even wonder if I would rather die."

"Although I have gradually gotten used to the pain over this period of time, there are still times when I can't stand it, especially when I'm not on a mission. Well, if it weren't for my system assistant Xiaolan, this situation might have become more serious."

In a soft voice, the little girl, with a leisurely look as if she was reminiscing about the past, slowly described her feelings after she became ill.

"Why can't you cure it? You can obviously cure it..."

Lin Yi couldn't bear to listen any more.

"Because... there are too many people who don't have the same opportunities as me. In order to help them, I hope to let those people see that I am the same as them."

In her clear eyes, the emotion that Lily of the Valley revealed was only full of determination.

“The world I live in is not peaceful. War, injury, discrimination, and tragedy are spreading everywhere, and those infected with mineralogy are at the bottom of society, rejected by everyone.”

"Rhodes Island has been working hard to heal and help these people, and I have been fighting because I agree with this idea. Therefore, I cannot cure my disease. In order to be able to get close to those scarred people, in order to let more people who can no longer believe in kindness because of too much persecution accept me, and let them know that I am on their side, I need to keep this disease."

"Becoming a savior and being able to truly control the spread of Originium Disease, I am already much luckier than most people. Mr. Lin Yi, do you know that in my world, patients with Originium Disease are even consumed as props by those in high positions, and used as spell materials to force the disease throughout the body until death. On Rhodes Island, the same is true. Those operators infected with Ore Disease have times when they are in unbearable pain and have to rely on medical help."

"So, I have been blessed with a good enough fate. I shouldn't ask for more. The me with oripathy right now is enough."

The girl who said this had a gentle look on her face.

"..."

There was no way to say anything.

Faced with such a lily of the valley, Lin Yi didn't know what he should say.

He finally understood why this young girl was so mature and sensible. He finally understood what kind of world she lived in, understood the girl who survived in such a world, and understood her clear and gentle heart.

That's why he couldn't accept it.

This shouldn't be her fate.

Staying at home, going to school, laughing and chatting with peers, enjoying the love and care of parents, and playing carefree.

This is what a child of this age should be exposed to, and this is the life she should have, right?

This is obviously the right thing to do, right?

Those Originium crystals grew directly from her flesh, piercing through her skin. Enduring the pain of this thing on her body every day, is this a good enough fate? Is this a "good fate that should not be sought for more"?

This is just bullshit…

just

The man remained silent as ever, carrying the exhausted girl up the stairs and returning to the first floor lobby of the mall.

The other three rescuers had been waiting here for a while. When Bill saw Lin Yi coming up with Linglan, he immediately put out the cigarette in his hand. Deacon, who was standing by, was a little slow to react. He was pushed by Bill's arm before he reacted and put out his cigarette. Ethan didn't smoke, but leaned against a pillar not far away, loading bullets into his shotgun one by one. There were also several guns loaded with ammunition on the ground next to him.
