WAR-Destiny Of Future 65 Chapter 63 - It's A Parasite!

Later, outside the treatment room. "Ben, how is he?" Sky asked "A big portion of his blood vessels had burst due to the sudden thickening of the blood, thus causing the bruise. I also found that his throat is covered with a thick layer of substance that looks like mucus, I afraid that his respiratory system will get affected, so I arrange some x-ray and ultrasound session for him. Aside from that I also collected some blood samples and mucus for a.n.a.lysis, we should be able to get the results in an hour. After Holly did with the other basic examination, he will be sent to the ICU ward." "Mmm... I see, I guess we will have to wait." said Sky. "While we are waiting, I believe we should give that injury of you a proper treatment." said Chris while pointing at Ben's shoulder which is slightly stained by blood.

After a while, Chris walks into another ward, Ruby is lying unconsciously on the bed. Chris look at the girl, that pretty and peaceful face of her makes him wondering is she really the annoying and troublesome girl he knows. Chris feels that he doesn't hate her, like any other girls, but he needs to know why she lied to him. Then he took a wet towel, and start wiping her face, hand and torso gently, however, he noticed a small fresh injury on her neck. He sensed some trace of an unidentified magic on it, then he thought for a while with a slightly worried look. "Rei... It can't be you...right?" then he stared at Ruby quietly...

Meanwhile, Black Cross quarter, Sal is kneeling in front of Rei who is sitting with Athena, next to him is Xenoo who is also kneeling but on a feet ma.s.saging board. "Mmm, Dr. Benjamin is very cautious when about his patients. So, how is his injury? Is it bad?" Rei asked Sal while solving a jigsaw puzzle with Athena. "Don't worry, Your Highness, it's only a small injury on the shoulder." "I see, be more careful next time, but... Sal-san, do you like to kneel so badly?" "Uhm... No, Your Highness." "Then get up, no one asks you to kneel." "Yes, Your Highness." Sal hesitated a while and slowly standing up while peeping at Xenoo who is about to stand up with Sal. "Not you! You are not going anywhere before we solve this puzzle. Seriously, what kind of man will purposely break an almost complete puzzle that Athena spend a whole night solving it. You really need some discipline." said Rei with a disapproving voice. Then Sal decides to join them in solving the puzzle.

An hour later, Ben ask Chris to his lab and showing him a projection from the microscope. "Does this look familiar to you? Or bring back any memories?" Ben ask. Chris examines the image for a while, then he picks up the sample on the test tube. "Mmm... Are you telling me this is that parasitic slime creature your father and I discovered years ago in that mysterious dimension? " "Well, it does look similar to my father's records." said Ben. "Yes, it does have some similarities, but somehow, it's much more weaker than those things. Well, it could be due to the effects of the special atmosphere in this dimension though." "Yes, it could have that possibility. Do you know any cure for it?" Ben ask. "Nope, your father and I had been researching about this creature for years, but did not find any method that will successfully get rid of it from the host's body. When a person getting parasited, they will stay into their body until all their body fluid dried up and fully occupied by their... Uh... 'offspring'. " "Hmm... It sounds like a really troublesome situation." "Indeed." Then the two of them continue to examine the samples.
