Ch 14 : One Person's Freeze
"Ah!!!" Su Yuan screamed in agony, then, enduring the searing pain in his right eye, forced himself to look at "Sigewinne" with his remaining eye...
At this moment, "Sigewinne's" eyes had turned into blood-red hollows, continuously oozing crimson liquid.
Her mouth had grown sharp, jagged teeth, which were rubbing against each other up and down, back and forth…
Su Yuan instantly understood—"Sigewinne" had also been corrupted and controlled by the eerie presence!
"Hahaha… Your eye looks pretty nice!"
"Sigewinne" spoke in a terrifying voice, "Let me pluck it out and feed it to those who violated the 'hidden rules' of the production zone..."
"Eat what you lack—an eye for an eye! I wonder which lucky fool, who overused their vision, will get to enjoy this delicacy?"
"Hahahahaha…"
As she spoke, "Sigewinne" gripped the straw tighter, preparing to completely blind Su Yuan's right eye!
"Ugh!!!" Su Yuan couldn't hold back a pained, gut-wrenching scream…
"Your screams are so annoying... Don't you know that in a hospital ward, you're supposed to stay quiet?"
"Sigewinne" said with an angry expression…
"You have two choices—should I cut out your tongue and vocal cords directly, or should I sew your mouth shut with medical sutures? Choose one yourself."
Su Yuan suddenly remembered—Melusines perceive the world differently from humans, with many fundamental differences.
This also leads to their sense of aesthetics and understanding of things being completely out of sync with human standards…
In the game's storyline about Meropide Fortress, there was mention of the so-called "Hidden Rule"—those who worked continuously for three days would receive a strange extra meal at the special canteen.
That meal… was made by Sigewinne!
Su Yuan felt that he had a decent tolerance for such things.
After all, back in Furina's bed, he had managed to swallow those disgusting bugs…
Honestly, this time, it was because he was physically and mentally exhausted that he didn't think to prepare himself in advance.
That's what led to this situation…
The food Sigewinne prepared might have tasted strange and been hard to stomach, but compared to those bugs, it was nothing—completely insignificant in comparison…
If he had anticipated this earlier and mentally prepared himself, he definitely wouldn't have spit it out.
Right now, his initial guess was that Sigewinne's condition for becoming "eerie" was someone rejecting her carefully prepared meal right in front of her…
"Su Yuan, why aren't you saying anything? Answer me! My patience is running out!"
"Sigewinne's" speech grew faster and faster, clearly showing her growing impatience…
"Sigewinne… No… I should say, the Eerie…" Su Yuan spoke slowly, trying to provoke "Sigewinne."
"Just kill me. I will never submit to you!"
It wasn't that Su Yuan didn't want to resist, but in his current state—severely injured and unable to move—he was completely at the mercy of the Eerie…
"Kill you? No, no, no… I am a doctor, the head nurse of the Meropide Fortress infirmary…"
"Sigewinne" shook her head.
"I only save people—I don't kill them…"
"Don't worry, when you're down to your last breath, I will definitely bring you back."
Su Yuan immediately felt that things were taking a turn for the worse—his worst fear was coming true…
If he couldn't die, he wouldn't be able to trigger his reset ability.
That meant he would be trapped, endlessly enduring this torment…
Wriothesley, where are you? Hurry up and save me…
"Su Yuan… did you not hear what I just said?"
"Hurry up and choose. My patience is running out…"
"After all, my job keeps me so busy, with so many patients to take care of. I can't possibly spend all my time and energy on just you, can I?"
Sigewinne's cold voice echoed once again…
"It seems like your ears aren't working anymore—you're not listening to me at all. In that case, why don't you just hand them over to me?"
"The production zone has many large machines that produce quite a bit of noise…"
"Many people seem to have developed hearing problems. To heal with likeness… your ears might make a nice supplement too."
Su Yuan watched in horror as "Sigewinne" pulled out two surgical scalpels from who knows where.
The smooth, reflective blades gleamed under the room's light…
With a swift motion, "Sigewinne" swung her hands, and with two sharp slicing sounds—schlick, schlick—Su Yuan suddenly lost all feeling in his ears…
"Sigewinne" examined the severed ears in her hands and sighed admiringly.
"Not bad… such beautiful ears. I wonder if they'll enjoy the taste."
"Wriothesley!!! Help me!!!"
Su Yuan realized he could no longer sit idly by.
He began to scream at the top of his lungs, calling for help.
"Sigewinne" told him not to make a sound—so Su Yuan deliberately did the opposite.
If he made enough noise, maybe he could force her to kill him in a panic!
"I told you to shut up! No shouting in the hospital ward!"
"Sigewinne" was just about to take further action against Su Yuan when—
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the door to the hospital ward was blasted open…
Wriothesley's figure appeared at the doorway, his gauntlets still emanating waves of cold air.
"Su Yuan, you're still alive, right?" Wriothesley asked.
"Still alive. Won't be dying just yet…" Su Yuan responded with difficulty.
"Your Grace, we heard a loud explosion coming from the hospital ward. Is everything alright?"
At that moment, the sound of hurried footsteps approached from outside.
"It's nothing," Wriothesley replied casually.
"I just had a sudden urge to do some… renovations on the hospital door. No need to interfere."
He gestured for the others to leave, ensuring no one else came in.
Then, Wriothesley slowly stepped into the ward, his gaze landing on the grotesquely distorted "Sigewinne."
A look of helplessness crossed his face.
"I never expected that the first time I'd witness the existence of the eerie firsthand… it'd be my dear head nurse, Sigewinne."
"Hahaha… Your Grace, I should really thank you for keeping those people out,"
"Sigewinne" burst into laughter, crimson liquid seeping from her eyes, mouth, and nose.
The once adorable twin horns on her head had now transformed into sharp, demonic spikes.
"Now, I can strike without holding back!"
"Strike?" Wriothesley shook his head.
"You won't get the chance."
As he spoke, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small container filled with an unknown liquid.
Without hesitation, he tossed it toward "Sigewinne" and then dashed forward in an instant, shattering the container with a powerful punch.
The bottle exploded on impact, releasing its contents in a dazzling spray that covered "Sigewinne" from head to toe.
The next moment—Wriothesley's gauntlets shifted, their mechanisms fully engaging as an immense surge of Cryo energy erupted outward!
In the blink of an eye, the liquid reacted with the Cryo energy in a mysterious chemical reaction—freezing "Sigewinne" solid, turning her into a lifelike ice sculpture!
From the look of utter shock frozen on "Sigewinne"'s face, it was clear—even she hadn't expected this outcome!
Despite the searing pain in his body, Su Yuan, now left with only one functioning eye, stared in disbelief.
What…?
What just happened?
Did Wriothesley just trigger a Freeze reaction all by himself?!
