My greatest worry now is something else.
My sense of touch is slowly disappearing, and I can clearly feel that even the surrounding heat is almost imperceptible.
But I can’t tell Sins or Xiao Hua.
I don’t want them to be hit again.

“I understand how you feel. To be honest, I’ve actually died once.”
“Hm?”
Freya looked a little surprised at Xiao Hua’s words.
“I know it’s hard to believe, but it really happened to me.”
Xiao Hua fell into memory, “It was a long time ago.”
“After I was resurrected, I could already see save files and things I didn’t know.”
“You must have been very scared then.”
“Yes,” Xiao Hua nodded, “Perhaps what happened to you is even more outrageous than mine.”
Freya sat down on the chair as guided by Xiao Hua and said softly, “Perhaps you’re right, our situations are different.”
“But thank you for staying with me and helping me all this time.”
“I’m already very content to have a confidant like you.”
“Really?”
Xiao Hua was exceptionally happy and exclaimed, “You’re willing to consider me your confidant?”
“I’m so, so happy!”
It was clear that Xiao Hua desperately wanted a true friend.
Freya grinned and gave it a warm smile, which made every leaf and branch of Xiao Hua happily unfurl.
“What! Are you serious?”
Suddenly, Sins’ voice, at an extremely high pitch, traveled from afar.
Freya looked in the direction of the sound, wanting to listen quietly, but no other sounds followed.
What exactly happened?
Is it because of me?
The sudden turn of events made Freya’s already uneasy heart even more anxious.
This unease didn’t last long, as two sets of footsteps approached from a distance.
“Sweetheart, we’re back.”
Sins had regained her usual composure, but Freya felt something was slightly different from before.
“What were you saying just now?”
Freya asked tentatively.
“Don’t worry, child. The buttercups grew from your veins, and Effis told me they release a type of poison.”
Sins explained to Freya as detailed as possible, “Therefore, you cannot remove the flowers. The way to undo it is also very simple: return to the surface, and the flowers will no longer be able to draw magic.”
“Poison? Then how did this poison infect me?”
Freya immediately grasped the key point in Sins’ words.
“Simply put, they feed on nutrients through their roots to destroy you. In short, these flowers will gradually reproduce over time, and even if you are not injured, they will cover your entire body.”
“Similarly, your sense of smell and touch will also gradually worsen.”
Saying this, Sins suddenly choked up, “Given your current condition, you might have less than two hours to live…”
