Chapter 106: Dying Monroe Gina
Zhao Xi left. After all, she still had to deal with matters above.
She didn’t like the Order Card that existed in Solomon City, and it wasn’t hard to see that Zhao Xi actually somewhat hoped that card would be snatched away.
“Take good care of your machine dragon. Next time we meet, I definitely don’t want to see it broken.”
This was the last sentence Zhao Xi left behind.
The huge Platform space returned to tranquility.
Zhao Lin, who hadn’t spoken much all along, finally let out a sigh of relief at this moment.
“Brother Qiyan, are you very close with that judge?”
“Didn’t you hear it all? It’s our first time meeting, it’s just because of this machine dragon that…”
Before he could finish speaking.
A tiny sound caught his attention.
“What’s wrong?”
“Quiet.”
Raising his eyes to look at the sky.
The grid-like space gradually bulged; that was a certain Train being teleported here.
Who could it be? Gina?
But immediately after, the grid shattered with a loud crash.
A heavily damaged Train fell from the air, heavily smashing onto the ground, looking exceptionally miserable.
He had seen this Train before; it was precisely the one Monroe Gina used when confronting Zhao Xi in the air.
“Sister Gina?”
Hesitating slightly, Ye Qiyan stepped forward quickly.
The Train’s door opened.
Coming into view was the Staff-Sword broken into two sections and Monroe Gina lying on the ground, with a deep wound on her abdomen.
Most of the mask on her face was shattered, revealing the visage hidden beneath it.
Her dark golden eyes inexplicably dimmed. Seeing Ye Qiyan arrive, she forced herself to want to get up, but was unable to move due to the injuries on her body.
“Cough… To actually let a junior see such a miserable appearance, it’s really humiliating…”
“Hoo… Hoo… I’ve never been in such a sorry state before.”
She panted heavily, her body constantly trembling from the pain.
“Don’t move. The wound is very heavy. If this goes on, you will probably die.”
Ye Qiyan was not a doctor, but he could also see how terrible Monroe Gina’s state was at this moment.
On the wheat-colored cheeks exposed by the shattered mask, there was no trace of blood, and her dark golden eyes were constantly defocusing.
This was the omen of her time running out.
She was dying.
“I know, heh… But none of that matters anymore.”
Monroe Gina pulled out a black box from beneath her body.
“I underestimated that seal, and I also slightly underestimated Solomon City. However, they also underestimated me, cough… This is that seal. How is it? It looks utterly unremarkable, right…”
“A seal?”
“Heh~ I had no way to break the seal to get the things inside, so I just snatched the entire seal over. In a sense, I suc… succeeded…”
Monroe Gina’s expression grew increasingly trance-like. Lying on the ground, a few scattered Ritual Cards floated around her, as if mourning—mourning their master who was about to depart far away.
She pushed the box to Ye Qiyan’s side.
“For you… Although I don’t know what is actually inside, heh… If you break the seal one day, remember to tell me via private message…”
Ye Qiyan silently took the box, placed it aside, looked at Monroe Gina, and spoke:
“How should I help you?”
Monroe Gina shook her head and smiled with relief.
“You can’t help. This wound was caused by a Curse Card. If there were enough time, I would actually have a way to undo it, but unfortunately… Unless Shaya is right here now—heh, unfortunately, she isn’t. The only one whose power can lift the curse in the tiny bit of time remaining in my life is hers.”
Shaya’s power?
Ye Qiyan raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly remembering something. Under Monroe Gina’s gaze, he trotted back to the Train, and pulled out a Healing Lollipop from the ordinary storage unit.
“This should work, right?”
Returning into Monroe Gina’s Train, she, lying on the ground, smiled slightly when she saw Ye Qiyan.
“I…”
“Open your mouth.”
“Mmph!”
A sweet fragrance burst forth in Monroe Gina’s mouth.
Ye Qiyan stuffed a whole Healing Lollipop into Monroe Gina’s mouth.
Her eyes widened slightly. In an instant, the wound from which fresh blood had been continuously flowing stopped instantly. Following that, a rich aura of life wove brand-new granulation tissue from the wound site, neutralizing the curse lingering on it until it was completely restored.
On that flat, smooth lower abdomen, if not for the slight residue of blood, it would be hard for anyone to imagine that there used to be a ferocious wound that could claim someone’s life there.
Pop——
Seeing Monroe Gina recover, Ye Qiyan withdrew his hand, incidentally pulling that lollipop out of her mouth.
Looking at the tiny bit of candy left, he sighed with heartache.
“There’s completely nothing left. Sister Gina, remember to pay, it’s very expensive.”
Monroe Gina was stunned in place, sitting up straight only after a long while. She stroked her lower abdomen, looking at Ye Qiyan in some disbelief.
“What did you… do to me?”
“Saving you, ah. This candy was given to me by Sister Shaya. Didn’t you say that only her power could lift the curse?”
[Shaya’s Healing Lollipop (Level 8)]
[As long as you’re not dead, you can live]
Ye Qiyan fully realized the gold content of this description.
“…Thank you.”
Monroe Gina stood up, lightly licking the lingering sweetness at the corner of her lips.
“You saved me. I really didn’t expect that my life would actually be saved by a newcomer…”
Ye Qiyan shrugged.
“Didn’t that Charlatan senior say so? I’ll be useful when I come here, looks like this is my use, huh?”
“Heh… No need to listen to that Charlatan. The destiny she speaks of isn’t necessarily all right. Anyway, thank you, um… I will repay you, but before that… could you let me change my clothes?”
She pointed to her lower abdomen exposed to the air.
“Alrighty.”
Walking outside the Train, Zhao Lin was standing outside curiously, peering inside.
“Brother Qiyan, whose Train is this? Is it someone you know again?”
“Mm, a senior with a good personality, looks better than you.”
“Ha? I, I’m not ugly either.”
Zhao Lin puffed out her cheeks, extremely dissatisfied with Ye Qiyan’s words, but this dissatisfaction didn’t last long.
When Monroe Gina changed into another set of clothes and walked out of the Train, that mask on her face had already vanished.
A face that even other women would greatly envy made Zhao Lin lose confidence instantly.
Monroe Gina leaned on her Staff-Sword and walked straight over. Seeing Zhao Lin hiding behind Ye Qiyan, she smiled gently.
“Who is this?”
“A friend, named Zhao Lin, an unlucky person from the same batch as me. I brought her to brush away some Bad Luck.”
“She’s very pretty. Little Sister Zhao Lin, heh~ can you give me and Ye Qiyan a little time? I have some things to discuss with him.”
