Reanimation (1)
â...Who?â Coldblood Five asked, but quickly remembered there was only one other person apart from the both.
âColdblood Thirteen!â
Thatâs right, it was Coldblood Thirteen. Ye Lang stopped at the hole because he saw Coldblood Thirteen sprawled across the ground like he was dead.
âLetâs check!â Coldblood Five said calmly, then move over in a flash. She was probably faster than a regular, running human.
When she reached Coldblood Thirteen, Coldblood Five reached out a small hand (a literally tiny hand) to check for a pulse.
âSo? Any pulse?â Ye Lang approached slowly.
âNone!â Coldblood Five put down her hand, a little disappointed. She was only disappointed, not sad. Disappointed because she couldnât get a person to solve her problem.
âOh,â Ye Lang suddenly switched direction. He was originally running towards the head, but now he was going to the hips.
â??? What are you doing?â Coldblood Five saw him change direction, puzzled.
âIâm going to get his ring. I remember he had an almost decent space ring,â Ye Lang shouted without turning, then continue to run. Coldblood Five fell silent, privately cursing. You have no shame, you just knew he was dead and now youâre stealing his ring.
However, Coldblood Thirteenâs ring is the best among all ours, why the âalmost decentâ?
Coldblood Five didnât know that Ye Lang wouldnât ever like a ring like this. His own ring was so much better, but it was much rarer too. The rings regular people had were very normal, with a much smaller volume.
Even a distinguished group like the Coldblood Group could only get the regular space rings. Only the Coldblood Thirteen Eagles could have them, the rest had to find their own.
Ye Lang didnât like Coldblood Thirteenâs ring that much, but he was interested in the things kept within the space ring. Perhaps he secretly kept alchemy reference books or materials in it.
âFound it!â Ye Lang climbed up Coldblood Thirteenâs hand, struggling to pull off the ring.
âWhat will you get from that ring? And you canât use it, you canât even get it off,â Coldblood Five appeared next to Ye Lang. The ring was still too big for both of them.
Space rings werenât stackable either, or itâd wreck chaos within space and time. Hence, this ring couldnât be kept in another space ring.
âDonât you know? Space rings can grow and shrink, automatically suiting the userâs hand,â Ye Lang slipped his arm into the ring. The ring shrank immediately.
Coldblood Five fell silent. She knew, but she didnât know it could make this big of a change.
âLetâs see how he died. He shouldâve written it in his experimental log,â he said while searching for the log. It was something any alchemist would do, including Ye Lang.
They would record their experimental procedures in the log. More detailed logs also included the alchemistâs own thoughts and speculations.
Hence, their experimental log would always be kept in their space or somewhere secret. Places people wouldnât find-- at least while they were still alive.
All these arenât important when youâre dead. The contract with your space will vanish, and other people will be able to access your things.
Still, to prevent this from happening, i.e. having enemies access your lifeâs work after killing you, many alchemists would use different methods of hiding their logs.
Thank god Coldblood Thirteen didnât think that was necessary. His journal was conveniently in his space ring. Ye Lang was lucky.
Ye Lang pulled the journal out of the space ring. The book was still regular-sized. Although the ring shrank, the objects didnât.
Ye Lang stared at the gigantic book, thought for a moment, then turned to Coldblood Five: âLittle Five, help me turn the pages.â
âHmmph!â Coldblood Five grunted, ignoring Ye Lang.
âDo you want to get us big again?â he asked convincingly. He knew it had the strongest persuading power.
âVery much!â she grunted again, but she still approached to open the book.
As he watched Coldblood Five open the book, Ye Lang couldnât help but say, âLittle Five, I didnât know you were cute too!â
Picture this. A girl of barely twenty centimetres flipping open a book taller than her. Even with a cold person like Coldblood Five, it was still adorable.
âRead. Stop your nonsense!â Coldblood Five lashed.
âFlip to the last page,â Ye Lang was used to her tone, so he didnât take anything to heart.
She continued to flip the pages, asking, âWhy the last page?â
âStupid, itâs so we know when he died,â Ye Lang responded, annoyed.
Coldblood Five had a strong urge to punch him. She couldnât believe she was being lectured by an idiot. Unfortunately, the idiot made sense. Once they saw the date of the last entry, then theyâd know when Coldblood Thirteen died.
âFrom the journal, itâs been seven days!â Ye Lang read the log, deep in thought.
âOh, heâs been dead for seven days!â Coldblood Five looked at Coldblood Thirteen with a complicated expression, either pity or grief.
âNo, he was incapacitated seven days ago. He didnât die. A more accurate point of death is three days ago,â said Ye Lang, shaking his head.
â?!â Coldblood Five looked at him, bewildered.
âHe was incapacitated seven days ago. If someone came to save him, heâd probably survive. He didnât have an assistant or supervisors, so he didnât even have a last chance,â Ye Lang looked at Coldblood Thirteen with pity.
Alchemists usually have assistants or partners. They werenât only for companionship, but more importantly to have someone to help them when thereâs an accident.
âOh,â Coldblood Five seemed to have understood a little.
The truth was not far from Ye Langâs speculations. Coldblood Thirteenâs laboratory did have an accident, not a fatal one nor did he think it was serious. Unfortunately, he was paralyzed because of this small accident, and he could only await death, quietly.
Like what Ye Lang said, if someone found him, heâd definitely been saved!!
