Chapter 2293 - Passing the Tes (1/2)
“Dad, the woman has no more blood. Dad… he cracked open the woman’s brain…” Bao’er kept reporting what was happening.
“Bao’er, stop looking!” Han Sen called Bao’er back into his arms. He didn’t want her to see such a bloody scene.
Bao’er was actually quite old at this point, but in Han Sen’s eyes, she’d be a little girl forever.
Bao’er jumped off of Han Sen’s shoulder to sit on his chest. She looked curiously at the Four Symbols Seal and the trapped xenogeneic that was still struggling inside.
Han Sen still couldn’t feel anything behind him, but after hearing what Bao’er had said, he felt sick with worry. The images of what she had described kept repeating inside his mind, and nothing he tried to think about could scrub them away.
“Jade Cat, what are you doing!” Han Sen finally shouted at the statue of the jade cat.
The jade cat already seemed to be sleeping again, and it showed no reaction to Han Sen’s call.
After a while, the prisoner’s chains began to rattle again. As it left the space behind Han Sen’s back, it slowly entered his field of vision. The prisoner left in pretty much the same manner that he arrived, slowly and seemingly vacant-minded.
There was one small difference, however. He was dragging the corpse of a woman behind him.
To be more accurate, that was not the body of a woman. It was a female creature’s body.
Han Sen couldn’t see what the female creature’s facial features had been, because a large hole had been punched into the creature’s head. There was a gaping cavity where the face had been. The upper part of her body was humanoid, though, and the lower body was like a snake. She looked like one of the Ghana, but unlike the Ghana, there was a spiraling horn on her head. It was silver and around one foot long, and it was reminiscent of a unicorn’s horn.
The snake scales of her lower body were silver, as well. They were so bright that they made her form seem a little transparent. Holes had been torn through her head and chest, but there was no blood oozing out. It was just as Bao’er had originally said, in that the blood of the woman had run dry.
“What is that weirdo’s presence here supposed to mean? Why would he draw a woman on my back?” Han Sen wondered, somewhat shaken.
But Han Sen didn’t seem to be injured or impaired. His body was fine, his Galactic Lobster Armor was fine, and it looked like the creepy prisoner guy was leaving now that he had drawn his picture.
Although the whole experience had been rather disturbing, the creature hadn’t actually hurt him. So, Han Sen knew he’d just have to stop thinking about it.
“Bao’er! Could you use some water to wash your dad’s armor? Wash away the mess he made,” Han Sen said to Bao’er. While the paint hadn’t been harmful, he was still unhappy to have it on him.
Bao’er jumped off of Han Sen’s chest and walked behind him to do as he asked. Then her surprised voice said, “She is gone!”
“What is gone?” Han Sen’s heart jumped into his throat.
“The picture he drew is now gone,” Bao’er said.
“How could it be gone?” Han Sen was very confused about this, and so he proceeded to ask, “Did the picture just get smeared?”
Bao’er shook her head. “Dad, there’s nothing on your back. It is very clean, and there is not even the smallest semblance of a bloodstain. The ugly woman drawing is all gone.”
Han Sen had no idea what to make of this, so he asked Mister White, “Mister White, what is going on?”
Mister White shook his head. “I don’t understand any of this, either. We couldn’t see your back, and we were only able to see that he was drawing something on you. I don’t know what it was that he actually drew.”
