Bang, bang, bang. ′xi\n_t/i·a!n~x`i?x_s-..c_o!m?
There was a sudden knock on the door, startling Winter.
"Winter, Winter, are you home?"
A familiar voice came from outside. It was Rui Ni's mother.
Winter hurried forward and opened the door, "What's wrong, Mrs. Jenny."
A dark-skinned woman in her forties or fifties stood at the door. She said anxiously with tears on her face, "Ruini, Ruini just fell to the ground while she was eating and became unconscious. Her father went out. Now only you can help us, Winter!"
"Don't worry, Mrs. Jenny, I'll go right away and take Ruini to the clinic!"
As he said this, he ran all the way to Ruini's house and saw Ruini lying on the ground unconscious.
"Rini, Rini."
Winter rushed forward and shouted loudly, but got no response, so he picked her up and ran towards a clinic on the island.
Twenty minutes later.
After examining Rui Ni, the doctor at the clinic frowned and said, "I'm sorry... I can't figure out why she fell into a coma and why she can't wake up."
"Oh my god."
Mrs. Jenny's feet trembled and she almost couldn't stand.
Winter quickly helped her sit on the sofa, then stared at the doctor and said, "What should we do now? We can't just wait like this, right?"
The doctor shook his head and said bitterly, "I can't just treat her randomly without knowing anything. How about... you take her to Bayam? There are doctors from Loen there whose medical skills are much better than mine."
"But..."
Winter hesitated to speak. He was worried that Ruini had some kind of acute illness and would not make it to Bayam. After all, the earliest boat to Bayam would not leave until 9 a.m. tomorrow, and the voyage would take another 5 hours.
At this moment, Ruini's body twitched violently and her expression became painful. This scene scared not only her mother, Mrs. Jenny, but also the doctor.
After a while, Rui Ni finally calmed down. The doctor was sweating and looked serious: "Her condition is not optimistic... I am worried that she will not survive tonight. + 飕¨ 搜*晓` 税.旺? ,已/發·發-最/譆.璋~結`"
Winter felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His whole body was cold and boundless fear rose from the bottom of his heart.
However, he could do nothing except watch - Ruini was sick, not robbers or in danger, so he couldn't risk his life to save her.
Suddenly, he was shocked: Risking his life to save him?
Oh, right, that old woman who looks like a witch!
Will she be able to save Ruini?
Before she left, she said that she would show up no matter who wanted to make a deal with her, and what she needed was people's souls!
The bag of money before was exchanged for my soul after death, so...if I use my current soul, can I exchange it for her to save Rui Ni?
Thinking of this, Winter walked over to Ruini, who had regained her composure, and gently stroked her cheek: "Ruini...don't worry, I will never let anything happen to you."
After saying this, he turned and rushed out of the clinic in the astonished eyes of the doctor and Mrs. Jenny.
Winter ran all the way to the dock of Simim Island. Compared to the daytime, it was pitch black here and he couldn't see anything. But Winter didn't care about that. He shouted towards the sea with all his strength: "My Lord Witch, My Lord Witch, are you here? Can you hear me?"
"I am Winter, who made a deal with you during the day. You said that if I need anything, I can come to you to make a deal again!"
As soon as he shouted, his words were quickly drowned out by the sound of the waves at the dock and he received no response.
Winter had no choice but to shout even louder: "I want to... I want to use my soul to exchange for Ruini's life! You don't have to wait until I die, you can take my soul now, as long as... you can save Ruini."
At the end, he knelt heavily on the ground, "Please, save Rui Ni, I am willing to, I am willing to give something."
Unfortunately, the only answer he got was still the noisy sea breeze and the sound of waves at night.
Winter knelt on the ground in a daze. After more than ten minutes, he stood up shakily like a zombie, his eyes dead.
"Hey, are you really willing to give anything?"
Suddenly, a difficult and strange voice was heard.
Chapter 421 Lilith's New Friend
Winter's body trembled and he looked over - a hunched figure slowly approached in the darkness. It was the old woman he saw during the day.
He became excited again: "Yes, yes, I am willing to give everything, including my soul!"
The old woman transformed by Lilith said according to the script and lines Edward had planned for him in advance: "Okay, okay, I really like your soul that is fanatical because of love."
"But I always like fair trade. Let's go check out Rui Ni's condition first. If the situation is not serious, maybe we don't even need your soul."
As she spoke, her figure flashed to Winter's side, then she grabbed his arm and flashed several times again, and in the blink of an eye she was back at the door of the clinic.
This magical ability shocked Winter, and he had more confidence that the old woman could save Ruini.
Lilith walked into the clinic, came to Kristen who was lying on the bed, and stretched out her thin, branch-like hand to touch her forehead.
The doctor at the clinic hurriedly stopped her and said, "Old lady, please stay away from the patient!"
Winter hurriedly explained: "Doctor, this is..."
Before he could finish, Lilith grinned at the doctor, and saw the doctor's mouth suddenly disappear, and then he touched the place where his mouth used to be in horror.
Winter swallowed hard.
Lilith then looked over to the other side, where Mrs. Jenny was staring in horror, "Are you going to disturb me too?"
Mrs. Jenny's dark face turned pale with fear. She covered her mouth with trembling hands and shrank on the sofa, not daring to move.
Lilith then reached out her hand to touch Ruini's forehead again. Although she didn't know the meaning of this action, she had to do it well.
So she shook her head, as if thinking for a while, "Hmm, so that's how it is. What a pity, what a pity..."
Winter's breathing stagnated: "What a pity?"
"It's a pity that you made a deal with me first, otherwise when she died, I could have taken her soul directly."
Winter was stunned: "So..."
Lilith waved her hand gently at this time, and the light of the spell flashed away.
The next second, Rui Ni's eyelids trembled slightly, and then they opened suddenly. She sat up from the bed in a daze and looked at Winter: "What's wrong with me?"
"Ruini...you're awake, you..."
Rui Ni's expression suddenly changed at this time, and she asked loudly: "Winter, didn't you want to go out for adventure? Why are you back?"
"…I, I…"
Winter wanted to tell her loudly that he would never leave her to go on adventures again, but when he thought about the witch taking his soul away in a moment, he couldn't say anything.
"Okay, my reward has been paid, it will be your turn soon."
Lilith turned and walked towards the door, "I'll wait for you outside."
Ruini looked at the strange old woman who left in confusion, "Who is she?"
"Rini!!"
At this time, Madam Jenny rushed over crying, "Mom? What...just happened?"
Winter forced a smile: "Whatever happened...it's over, Rui Ni...I'm leaving."
"Winter?! Winter!"
Outside the clinic, the street was dark.
The old woman was standing on the roadside, bent over, with a strange little bird with red and black feathers standing on her shoulder. Lilith was pinching a squirming insect to feed the bird - Phoenix: Since I became your messenger, it's not enough to deliver letters, but I also have to help you fight, help you find things, and now I have to cooperate with you in acting. Which messenger has to do so many things?
Winter took a deep breath and walked over: "Master Witch, you can... take my soul."
As he said this, he closed his eyes, looking as if he was ready to die.
"Hehehehe."
Unexpectedly, the old woman laughed sharply, "Have you forgotten? I believe in fair trade. I don't need to pay your soul to treat that girl."
Winter immediately opened his eyes and asked nervously, "Really? Then what do I need to pay?"
The old woman held up four fingers: "First I want 700 pounds."
Even though he was facing a weird and mysterious witch, Winter was a little confused: 700 pounds, why are you holding up four fingers?
But he soon discovered that the bird on the old woman's shoulder also stretched out three toes.
"But I don't have that much money..."
Lilith smiled, "You did."
"I…"
Just when Winter said this, he suddenly remembered the bag of money the old woman gave him during the day, "You are talking about..."
"Yes, there are exactly 700 pounds in that pocket."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and get it for you."
Winter was about to run away, but found that his legs could not move, and he even started tap dancing automatically.
The old woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will get the 700 pounds myself, but in addition to that, I will need 10 years of your life."
"What?"
Before he could react, Winter suddenly felt his body become weak and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly, unable to even move a finger.
"Then... the deal is done."
Lilith smiled and said, "Don't forget, when you die, your soul will belong to me."
Winter collapsed on the ground, shivering all over, but still tried to say: "...I, I remember."
"but..."
She immediately changed the subject, "If you can help me complete a deal with someone else, I will not take your soul if you do it once. If you do it three times, I will give you 10 years of life. If you do it five times, I will grant you one wish."
Lilith's words stirred Winter's heartstrings like a devil. Before he could respond, Lilith turned into moonlight and disappeared.
More than ten minutes later, Winter felt his strength gradually returning. He struggled to get up and walked towards the clinic. With every step he took, his mind became more resolute.
Until he returned to the clinic and saw Mrs. Jenny and Ruini coming out, he suddenly stepped forward and said seriously: "I'm sorry, Ruini, I won't leave."
