After walking out of "Kavi Clock Shop", Angel, whose wealth had shrunk by one-third, was choked by the industrial waste gas with excessive particulate matter from Oak District. Only then did he come back to his senses, and felt an aggrieved feeling of being forcibly bought and sold.
But touching the iron box containing Mystical Item in her arms, she comforted herself: This is Mystical Item from Beyonder Characteristic of Sequence 7, and the formula of Potion from Sequence 9 is more than 100 pounds!
Knowledge is money, she finally understood the meaning of this sentence.
Moreover, from the effect of Mystical Item, she also confirmed one thing: the Beyonder Characteristic that was fused with the revolver, that is, the Beyonder Characteristic that was discharged when Cole died, was indeed "Witch".
The enhanced attack with flames is obviously Beyonder Ability belonging to "Witch". Unfortunately, Cole died due to an out-of-control promotion failure, causing Beyonder Characteristic to be contaminated. There should be some problems in the combination of the two, so that the weapon has only two abilities, and the negative effects are very difficult.
Thinking of Mystical Item "waiting for food" in her arms, Angel felt a headache.
Before leaving, she asked Kavi if she could "feed" Mystical Item with the blood of ordinary animals, but got a disappointing answer.
"It consumes Spirituality, and the blood it absorbs needs to be rich in Spirituality to eliminate the negative effects. If you can find the blood of Beyonder Creature, you can naturally use it, otherwise there is no point in using more ordinary animal blood. Human blood is the easiest to obtain, and blood rich in Spirituality. If it is the blood of Beyonder, it is the best."
"How much blood is enough? How do I know? You can only try it yourself until it eliminates the current negative state. But don't try it on me, don't die in my shop."
If chicken blood and duck blood cannot be used, then the only choice is Beyonder Creature's blood. But Beyonder Creature is not a Chinese cabbage, how can you find it easily?
If you look at the Main Materials required for various Potion formulas, you will know that the precious Beyonder Creature blood is priced in milliliters.
Ordinary people can think of ways to deal with blood, such as going to the hospital to steal some spare blood... In this era, there is already technology to preserve and transfuse human blood, right?
If it doesn't work, just use your own blood, but you have to carefully test how much it needs to be used, lest you die of excessive blood loss before using Mystical Item.
If you like blood so much, let me call you "Bloodthirst"...
Angel thought bitterly, tightly covering the box containing "Bloodthirst", and left Golden Avenue.
Back to Enmat Harbor Nighthawks Squad's station, "Silver Bullet Detective Agency", it was already dusk.
Angel looked at her pocket watch. She had taken a detour to the hospital when she came back and had been out for more than 4 hours. Although Emmett Harbor Team's captain Clement was not at the station and several other Nighthawks who came for support would not mind their own business, she still felt a little guilty.
Well, just a hint.
She walked through the lobby on the first floor holding "Bloodthirst" as if she were a thief. She faced the strange looks of other Nighthawkss who were passing the time in the lobby. After returning to room 306 assigned to her on the third floor and locking the door tightly, she breathed a sigh of relief.
The room Daly was assigned to her was on the side facing the street. When she opened the window, she could see the clock tower of Saint George Church across the street. Even the decorative glass that had been corroded by the sea breeze for many years shone with colorful light under the setting sun.
But at this time, Angel had no intention of admiring it. Instead, after carefully checking the sealing of the window, he closed the thick curtains, blocking the street view and the dim sunlight from the window, leaving only the flickering light of the gas lamp.
After checking again that the door was locked, she took out the box that was almost warm from her arms and put it on the desk, along with a set of bloodletting tools she bought on the way back.
In this era, the initial concept of modern medicine has been formed. The ancient method of "Bloodletting Therapy" has been proven to be ineffective by many medical experts. However, in various areas lacking medical resources, traditional treatment methods still have a place. Even in regular hospitals, Bloodletting Therapy's services and tools are sold.
Thanks to such a tool, she was prevented from cutting open a vein to take blood Affliction.
Before returning to the station, Angel had never thought about asking ordinary people to take blood and feed it to "Bloodthirst", but he gave up in the end.
First, it is easy to make a big fuss and turn yourself into an urban legend such as "Vampire", and you may even be on the official Beyonder blacklist.
Secondly, she couldn't bear to be so ruthless. It was one thing to kill the enemy in battle, but it was another thing to randomly select Passerby to do evil.
After going to the nearest hospital to inquire, she learned that due to the lack of long-term blood storage technology in this era, patients who needed blood transfusions could only find people who were willing to donate blood on the spot and use it immediately.
She could only settle for the next best thing and purchased a set of "Bloodletting Therapy" tools to become self-sufficient.
Carefully disinfecting her hands and tools with alcohol, she endured the pain and used a metal needle with a rubber tube in her right hand to prick the skin on the back of her left hand and penetrate the veins on the back of her hand.
Watching his blood flow out of the rubber tube drop by drop and drip into the transparent measuring cup, making a slight sound, Angel felt a little chilly in his body.
It is said that there is an ancient punishment in which the prisoner's eyes are blindfolded, the blood vessels are cut, and the blood is allowed to drip into a basin. The fear of being unable to see, the dripping sound in the ears, and the drop in body temperature caused by blood loss will make the prisoner feel close to death. Even if only a small part of the blood is drained, it will cause extremely strong fear and even scare the person to death.
Watching her blood flow out of her body little by little and fill the glass, she suddenly understood this fear.
When she was thinking wildly, the blood in the measuring cup exceeded the 400 ml line. Angel pulled out the needle, held the back of her hand to stop the bleeding, and then took the precious blood to the iron box containing "Bloodthirst". The blood outside the body will coagulate quickly. If she doesn't "feed" quickly, her blood will be wasted.
The hypothermia and rapid heartbeat after rapid blood loss made Angel shiver. The transparent glass in her hand was shaking. The blood reflected a dark red light under the light, and a hint of fishy-sweet smell floated into her nasal cavity.
400 ml is about 10% of the human body's blood, which is the maximum safe range for a blood donation. She plans to try this safe amount first. If it is not enough, she does not plan to continue bloodletting.
The main purpose of coming to Enmat Harbor is to participate in the joint operation of Nighthawks. If excessive bleeding affects the body and results in the inability to participate in subsequent missions, it will be a shame for the entire Tingen City team.
When he opened the lid of the metal box, the strong smell of blood spurted out from the gap and instantly drowned out the slightly sweet smell of the cup of blood. She looked nervously in the direction of the door, wondering if the closed doors and windows could block the smell. Even if it could be blocked for a while, she was afraid that others would soon discover it.
Time waited for no one, Angel could only grit his teeth, opened the lid of the box, and quickly poured the whole cup of blood into it.
The iron box is not big, and there is almost no extra space after putting down a revolver. However, 400 ml of blood was poured into it without any spillage. Instead, it was instantly absorbed and swallowed by the dark pistol.
As the blood was absorbed, the bloody smell in the room seemed to have been pressed on the reverse button, drifting back to the iron box in just a few seconds. The faint sweetness of his own blood reappeared in Angel's nasal cavity, but not long after, this smell also disappeared without a trace.
The shiny black pistol in the iron box has changed from the mysterious carapace-like appearance back to a gun body made of metal, even the handguard of the handle. But the material is not the original brass, but a material with a deep color, almost black. If you look carefully, in addition to the luster of the metal reflecting the light, you can also see that the gun body has a deep red color.
Like soaked in blood.
Angel quietly looked at the pistol that had greatly changed its appearance. After waiting for a few seconds and seeing that there were no other changes, he dripped the last few drops of blood in the measuring cup onto the gun body. The blood stains slid down the gun body and were not absorbed.
Only then did she feel relieved and reached out to hold the handle of the gun. The cold surface and thick body of the gun gave people a special sense of security.
The negative effects of "Bloodthirst" were finally lifted by the blood of Angel, and she became Mystical Item that she could use normally.
This revolver is similar to Angel The one used by Oldest One was also of 0.45-inch caliber and loaded with five rounds. After long-term use of inferior bullets and lack of maintenance, the hammer was damaged and was thrown into the corner by Cole. Unexpectedly, after being accidentally combined with the Beyonder Characteristic that contained an unknown number of Sequence, even the damaged hammer was automatically repaired.
Angel looked at the rifling. Although it was still in a used condition, compared to Cole's other revolver, which had almost worn out rifling, it was in a good condition. Considering that the material had changed and the hardness had increased significantly, there should be no need to worry about rifling wear in the future.
Without hesitation, she took out the 0.45-inch revolver from the holster on her waist, took out the bullet and put it into the magazine of "Bloodthirst", and put the old revolver into the suitcase and put it away.
From now on, "Bloodthirst" will be her main weapon.
The magazine closed with a "snap", and she resisted the urge to fire a shot to test its power, and stuffed the gun back into the holster on her waist.
It would be better to go to the shooting range and try again another day. If you shoot randomly at the Nighthawks station, even if you are not arrested as a traitor, it will make others mistakenly think that a battle has occurred and cause unnecessary commotion.
Taking all the Star Crystal in the luggage and returning to the first floor of "Silver Bullet", Angel found that the Sun light outside the window had completely disappeared, replaced by the crimson moonlight that gradually covered the ground.
It turns out that it has been so long...
The Pritz Harbor duo who were still in the lobby when they came back in the afternoon had disappeared. The chatty man Rupert Norman, Stoen, got a pipe from nowhere and was sitting in the corner. He took apart the cigarettes one by one and poured the tobacco into the pipe, leaving the table full of tobacco residue.
Daly was chatting with a strange man. When he saw Angel coming down from upstairs, he stopped talking and walked straight over.
"I was just wondering where you were, and you showed up. I happened to have a mission... What's wrong with you, you look so pale?"
Is your blood loss so obvious?
Angel stretched out his hand and looked at his nails. The nail bed was indeed whiter than usual. It seemed that 400 ml of blood had been lost, and the impact on himself was already visible to the naked eye.
Daly stared at Angel's slightly pale face, seemed to understand something, and lowered his voice and asked:
"You came to that?"
