Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

(What happened? Did it swim onto my back while lurking in the lake? How could Heloise not have noticed?)

Although the little snake is not big, it is about the length of an adult's forearm. Logically, if there is such a foreign object on the back, it should be very uncomfortable.

But Heloise didn't feel uncomfortable at all. She even scrubbed her back without feeling anything. Even when her hand touched the little snake, she remained indifferent.

In contrast, the blood snake was stuck on Heloise's back as if it was dead, which made Jiang Ran puzzled.

(Could it be... that blood snake is already dead? Crushed on Heloise's back?)

Jiang Ran rejected this far-fetched idea as soon as it came into his mind. What was happening on Heloise's back was obviously not something that could be explained by "accident".

·

Jiang Ran was no longer able to think or infer further based on the information obtained from the telescope.

He wanted to get closer and use his identification ability to confirm what was on Heloise's back, but Jiang Ran's intuition told him not to underestimate Heloise's insight.

Today on the sand, she noticed the attack of the sand-eating centipede earlier than Jiang Ran.

(There’s nothing I can do, I can only wait for another opportunity…)

Just when Jiang Ran decided to give up, he accidentally saw the word "Jiang" on the palm of his hand.

The invisible weight on his shoulders pushed him again.

(Is there really no other way?)

Jiang Ran couldn't help but ask himself this.

Then, he closed his eyes and used all his imagination to look for any possible way to succeed, and he would not easily deny it no matter how wild the idea was.

As a result, Jiang Ran actually came up with a solution.

(Well, that's all there is to it.)

·

It's not a good solution, but it's feasible.

The key to the next action is that Jiang Ran has to be tough enough and thick-skinned enough.

Before taking action, Jiang Ran took out the "Smoke Arrow" from the storage compartment on the back of the small motorcycle. When he invented this prop, Jiang Ran never thought that it would be used in such a scenario.

Then, before shooting the arrow, Jiang Ran carefully judged the wind speed and direction to ensure that the smoke could diffuse to the best effect after the arrow landed.

Before Heloise finished washing her body, Jiang Ran activated the skill "Concentration of Mind" and shot out 6 "Smoke Arrows" in a row. Soon, the white smoke spread rapidly and covered the lake where Heloise was.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ran put down his bow and arrow, and while deliberately whispering, "Heloise, are you okay?!", he quickly ran towards Heloise.

When he was less than thirty meters away from Heloise, he turned his back to Heloise and approached her, shouting loudly.

"It's suddenly so foggy. Could there be an enemy? Heloise, if you hear me, answer me!"

Heloise, who was not far away, heard the sound. She was confused about what was going on with the white fog and immediately responded with a shout.

"Sir Fike! This apostle of the Evil Tiger King God has sensed your presence!"

"The white fog must be the work of the enemy! I'm afraid it's someone who wants to harm the Evil Tiger King God in secret! But a mere fog... don't think you can hide it from the ears of this Black Tiger Butterfly!"

After shouting this, Heloise suddenly realized that she hadn't put on her clothes yet. She had been so busy guarding against the enemy that she had forgotten about it. She hurried to the lakeshore...

But just as she bent down, she vaguely saw Fei Ke's figure in the white mist!

In a hurry, Heloise could only cover the front with her clothes, then turned around and faced Fike.

"Your Excellency, Feifeifeifei! This, this apostle of the Evil Tiger God, is in an extremely dire situation right now! His power could explode at any moment! If you come any closer, your life will be in danger!!"

This was the first time Heloise had encountered such a situation in her life. Fike had already seen her belly, and she couldn't let him see other parts of her body!

"Heloise, don't worry! I've already sensed your powerful strength! I'll be walking towards you with my back to you!"

At this time, the answer from Fike actually resonated with Heloise, making her tense mood relax a little.

——(If you come with your back to me, that’s acceptable!)

Heloise turned around and looked at Fike, and found that he was indeed walking backwards, so she chose to believe him and began to concentrate on searching for the enemy that caused the smoke on the lake.

·

In such an "extremely tense" situation, Jiang Ran successfully approached Heloise.

However, he did not get too close. He stopped when he was close enough to use his identification ability.

At this moment, Heloise's snow-white back was clearly visible to Jiang Ran. Without any distractions, he immediately identified the blood snake. The result of the identification completely changed Jiang Ran's view of Heloise.

『Name』：Parasitic Blood Snake

"illustrate":

The eggs of parasitic blood snakes are very similar to blood and often mix in the blood to enter the host's body to parasitize.

Once the egg is successfully parasitic, it will quickly hatch into a larva, and then continue to absorb nutrients from the host body in exchange for its own growth.

During this period, the host's appetite will increase significantly.

When the parasitic blood snake grows to a certain size, it will appear on the back of the host.

Because the parasitic blood snake infects the host's brain, the host will not be aware of the parasitic blood snake's presence.

The parasitic blood snake will continue to coexist with the host and lay eggs in the host's body until the host dies or the parasitic blood snake completely controls the host's body.

When this moment comes, the parasitic blood snake will detonate the host's body, producing a large amount of blood mist. This blood mist is highly toxic, and just one milligram inhaled can kill a creature the size of a brown bear.

The onset of poisoning usually takes six to twelve hours, and the poisoned person will not have any symptoms before the onset of poisoning.

Current infection progress: 17%

6.46 - The Fool's Choice (Part )

(The blood mist is highly toxic... one milligram... is lethal to a creature the size of a brown bear...)

(The onset of the poison...six to twelve hours...before the onset of the poison...there will be no symptoms...)

After reading the description of "Parasitic Blood Snake", Jiang Ran finally understood how he died this time.

The cause of death was poisoning. The timing of the poisoning might be that Heloise came to kill him but was killed instead, or Heloise was completely infected by the blood snake and blew herself up, causing Jiang Ran to be poisoned.

No matter which method of poisoning it was, since there would be no symptoms after poisoning, Jiang Ran would not be aware of it until the poison took effect.

In addition, the "self who dies in the future" does not know that he will die, so there is no way to prevent it.

The unknown cause of death now has an answer. All that remains is to find a way to avoid poisoning.

·

Avoiding a poisoned future was not difficult for Jiang Ran, who understood the principle behind it. However, after the mystery was solved, his mood did not become brighter, but gloomy instead.

Looking at Heloise who was still shy about not wearing any clothes, Jiang Ran felt mixed emotions.

(No wonder they sent someone weaker than Spland...)

(It turns out that the Snake Shadow Society had no intention of letting Heloise return alive from the beginning.)

Jiang Ran took off his scarlet dragon cloak, put it on the girl, then turned and left.

"Heloise, the enemy seems to be heading that way. I'll go over there and take a look."

·

After being away from Heloise, Jiang Ran's mood gradually calmed down.

To Jiang Ran, Heloise was just a killer with whom he had known each other for less than a day, and who was also a killer who came to kill him.

However, because Heloise was too childish and did not have the cold temperament of a killer, Jiang Ran would occasionally forget the fact that she was here to kill him.

Although there was no evidence, based on Jiang Ran's current understanding of Heloise, he could probably guess that Heloise was being used by the Snake Shadow Society. This made it impossible for Jiang Ran to feel hatred towards Heloise, and he even had little intention of killing her.

Now, after knowing about the "parasitic blood snake", Jiang Ran's feelings towards Heloise have become even more complicated.

Such a simple child (aside from the immature part), Heloise is somewhat similar to the childhood "Jiang Yiran".

Do you want to save her?

Or just ignore her?

Jiang Ran never thought that one day he would be so naive as to want to save the person who was chasing him.

(Ben Ni: Ahem, Jiang Yan, just stop worrying about it. From what I can see, you just covet her body!)

The stupid loli's complaints were not without reason. Heloise's tender skin, long white legs... all made people linger, but Jiang Ran was not such a superficial person.

What Jiang Ran is thinking about now is the "utility value" of Heloise.

In his opinion, if handled properly, he might be able to reverse his current situation in the Prison Star World through Heloise and turn the tide against the forces of the "Only Demon God" from defense to offense!

·

Ever since crossing over to the Prison Star World, Jiang Ran has been forced to passively defend himself against the sniping attacks of the "Only Demon God" and the surveillance and plots of the Earth Ghosts, relying only on his wits and the ability to foresee his own death.

This time, if Jiang Ran ignored Heloise and let her die as an abandoned child, he could indeed avoid the "future of death", but this was only a one-time avoidance.

After Heloise fails, there will be another Heloise. The Snake Shadow Society’s pursuit will not end because of one failure.

What's even more dangerous is that the Snake Shadow Society's surveillance and tracking will only become more and more accurate. Even if the Snake Shadow Society's next and next pursuit fails, when the next and next time, when the teleportation ability of the "Only Demon God" can be used, will Jiang Ran still be sure to escape from the "Only Demon God"?

Yes, simply defending and running away is not a long-term solution.

This is also the question that Jiang Ran has been thinking about for some time.

Based on such considerations, the simple Heloise was no longer a pursuer in Jiang Ran's eyes, but a chess piece that could be used in turn.

If he could successfully persuade Heloise to rebel, Jiang Ran would have the ability to reverse the situation and even attack the Snake Shadow Society.

Going a step further, assuming that the Snake Shadow Society can be completely eradicated, or at least the Snake Shadow Society's ability to monitor him can be eliminated, then Jiang Ran would be equivalent to covering the eyes and blocking the ears of the "Only Demon God".

The Human Alliance's territory is so vast and its population is so large that without eyes and ears, the sniper attack of the "One Demon God" will no longer be a threat.

Therefore, Jiang Ran believed that Heloise was the key chess piece that could help him turn defense into offense.

·

The value of using Heloise is very tempting, but at the same time, the risks of using Heloise are also huge.

根据『未来死亡日期：7月8日下午3点16分』来推算，『寄生血蛇』完全感染海洛伊思的时间点最早可能为7月7日，距离今天只剩下4天时间。

During these four days, Jiang Ran not only had to persuade Heloise to rebel, but also had to find a way to save her. This was an impossible task in the wilderness three or four days away from the town of Driss.

In addition, before successfully persuading Heloise to rebel, Jiang Ran also had to guard against the possibility that the Snake Shadow Society might contact Heloise again.

According to Grandma Cassie, the earth ghost can control snakes as his messengers. So maybe while Jiang Ran was away from Heloise, a snake would find Heloise and tell her that "Banning" had changed his name to "Fike" and dyed his hair yellow-brown - if they had already discovered these changes.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ran immediately turned around and walked towards the lake, using a telescope to confirm the situation on Heloise's side as he walked.

Fortunately, no suspicious snakes appeared near the lake for the time being.

(…It’s time to make a decision.)

Looking at Heloise who was carefully folding the Scarlet Dragon Cloak, Jiang Ran was about to make a decision.

·

Should he take back the cloak and part ways... or should he take the risk and continue to work with Heloise?

Should I let Heloise die and escape for the time being... or should I try my best to save her life and take a gamble on the possibility of her?

In terms of risk, failure means death, and there is no greater danger than this;

In terms of benefits, Heloise was just a girl he had just met for half a day, so it was hard to say whether she could become a pawn;

With only three or four days left to act, it might be a safer approach to give up Heloise and wait for the next chess piece to appear.

However, Jiang Ran did not choose this way.

(The next pursuer might not be a child as innocent as Heloise.)

Jiang Ran glanced at the word "Jiang" on the palm of his hand and made a decision.

He wants to save Heloise, and then officially go to war with the Earth Ghost and the Snake Shadow Society.
