Enlightenment runes in American manga

Chapter 31 Healing
A large dark red, fish-scale ugly scar grew on the right side of Ophelia's face. It was the first time that Curen fully understood what shocking was.

It's no wonder that Ophelia is known as a ruthless, cruel and terrifying poisonous snake in the mouths of others.

With such scars on her face since she was a child, the isolation and rejection from others must have caused her a lot of trauma in her heart.

As for now, I am afraid that notoriety is more needed to block those curious eyes and come to watch.

Curran tried his best to conceal his fright, but he understood that Ophelia's extremely sensitive heart, which had been tempered long ago, should have sensed his true reaction immediately.

So Ke Lun simply stopped covering up, turned his face sideways, and looked at the empty corner of the wall.

There was a rustling sound as the blade cut across the thick scar. Then, Ophelia gritted her teeth, resisting the pain of opening the wound again.

This is not the first time she has done such a thing, especially after Dr. Erskine's human enhancement experiments on her were successful, she thought she had hope of recovery.

Every week, I pick up the good scars, hoping that the next time the wound heals, those hideous scars will disappear, but the result is disappointment again and again.

So in exchange for another chance to try again by tearing open the wound again, what Ophelia felt was not pain, but complex emotions mixed with worry and expectation.

"Dingling."

The dagger was put back on the table, but Ke Lun didn't want it anymore, and because he wanted to confirm the effect of the potion, he looked at Ophelia again.

The bloody right cheek made Ophelia look like a ghost at this time, but after seeing the other's terrible scars before, Curen actually felt that the current appearance was a bit pleasing to the eye.

Ophelia took the magic-modified life potion into her hand without hesitation, and drank it down in one gulp.

The strong vitality contained in the potion took effect instantly, and a large number of granulation quickly grew on the residual flesh of her wound, and then continued to connect and blend, filling the deep scar under Ophelia's skin.

However, the effect of this life potion was produced quickly, and it ended very quickly. After just one minute, the huge vitality brought by the potion was completely consumed.

The healing speed of Ophelia's wound immediately slowed down, and after that, the fibrous tissue began to proliferate and spread. After more than half an hour, the wound on her face healed completely, and a large scar still appeared on her right face.

But whether it was Ophelia or Curran, the expressions on their faces were not disappointment, but surprise.

Because it can be clearly seen that the newly grown scars are much better than before in terms of area and depth.

In other words, as long as you take the life potion and repeat the process just now, the greatest pain that has plagued Ophelia for more than 20 years can be completely gone.

Looking at the scars in the mirror, she stroked them over and over again, feeling the rough and ugly scars that had turned into smooth skin again, and she was filled with indescribable excitement and excitement.

Suddenly, Ophelia grabbed Curran's right arm and asked in a longing voice:

"Dr. Curran, thank you for the potion. Excuse me, do you still have this potion? This scar is like a nightmare. I really hope that I can get rid of it in the next second!"

Looking at Ophelia's fanatical face, Curran was both helpless and understanding.

Originally, he wanted to hand over the potion to the other party in batches, as a bargaining chip to threaten the other party and himself to deal with the Red Skull.

But now it seems that there is no need to play such a trick. In Ophelia's heart, Curran has probably become her god, let alone dealing with red skulls and white skulls. question.

Besides, the system doesn't mean that this magical modified life potion will become addictive if you drink too much, it is also a means of controlling the other party.

Thinking of this, Curran walked behind the experimental table, took out a dozen 12 tubes of life potion from the system space under the cover of the shadow, and placed it in front of Ophelia.

Knowing that today is the day for her to completely heal the scar, Ophelia thanked Curran incoherently, and picked up the dagger in her hand to cut open the flesh again.

The first few times, seeing Ophelia's self-harming behavior, Curran still felt a sharp toothache, and felt chills because of her bloody face.

But the more times he did it, the more he got used to it. In the end, he had already started to fiddle with the blood scabs scraped off by the dagger boredly.

Until Ophelia drank the seventh potion, the fresh skin that grew on her right face was no different from normal skin except that it was a little paler.

But Ophelia seemed to be a little mad, not satisfied, she picked up the dagger and prepared to do it again.

Curran quickly pinched her wrist to stop her movement.

"Okay, your problem has been completely solved, it's not easy for me to make potions, don't waste it!"

After Ke Lun spoke, Ophelia seemed to wake up from a dream. She looked at herself without the scar in the mirror, she was a little silly at first, then cried and laughed, and finally threw herself into Ke Lun's arms .

The other party's reaction was completely within Curen's expectations, even though Ophelia was among Hydra, and there were all kinds of scary rumors that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.

But after these two days of contact, what makes her special is nothing more than the fact that she has undergone long-term combat training, and at the same time, she has successfully strengthened her body and obtained some superpowers.

As for the inner soul, she is still an ordinary woman with low self-esteem due to physical defects and a closed heart.

Curran comforted the other party softly and gently, while Ophelia became more and more emotional, and took the initiative to have more intimate contact with the man who saved her.

In his previous life, Ke Lun was not considered an innocent first-timer, so he naturally and enthusiastically responded to the other party's request for a kiss.

After coming to this world, the strange and dangerous environment constantly pressured him, and the strings in his heart were stretched to the verge of breaking.

A release is also what Curran needs.

But when the two were about to cross the line, Curran resolutely called a stop.

No way, he has more important things to do.

When Ophelia came to the laboratory and took the first medicine, it was already time to turn off the lights.

It took a few more hours to remove the scars, and now there is not much time left until Schmidt returns tomorrow morning.

And during this period of time, he had to perform a body strengthening "performance" in front of Ophelia.

So facing Ophelia who calmed down, Curran took out another prepared potion and said:
"I originally wanted to conduct the experiment in a few days, but your success today and Schmidt's return tomorrow morning seem to indicate to me that tonight is the right time to take the human body strengthening mixture."

"Ophelia, after I drink the potion, I may enter a coma for a period of time. I hope you can protect me and let me pass through this most dangerous moment without being disturbed."

Then, regardless of Ophelia's dissuasion, he poured the life potion into the reagent bottle in his hand, drank it immediately, and fell heavily on the wicker chair beside him.

Seeing this scene, Ophelia clenched her fists, her face was full of worry, and then, like a door god, guarded the entrance of the laboratory...
