Confess System: Picking Up Girls After Girls, Try Not to Get Killed!

Chapter 244 Heloise’s Awareness

Witnessing Heloise's peculiar demeanor, Tyler grew increasingly vigilant.

This young girl had previously vowed to make "Felix" utterly smitten with her!

The primary reason Tyler had shared a room with Heloise the previous night was due to his concern that the Earthly Ghost might surreptitiously contact her.

Now, such worries were virtually null.

(Should we sleep in separate rooms?)

Tyler pondered, unsure. He couldn't guarantee that the "Heavenly Ghost" wouldn't take action.

Moreover, the "Parasitic Blood Serpent" within Heloise was also a risk factor.

Tyler had observed today that the infection process of the Parasitic Blood Serpent wasn't a linear progression.

After Heloise took the potion, the speed of infection slowed down for a while, but after some time, it accelerated again.

(Perhaps the infection speed is related to the degree of infection. As the infection becomes more severe, the speed of infection may further accelerate.)

Thus, to be on the safe side, Tyler decided to keep Heloise by his side for observation.

"Yes, we will still be sharing a room. Is there a problem?"

"No... no problem..." Heloise replied, her head lowered, and she remained silent until they arrived back at the inn.

.

Since the matter had been openly discussed, Tyler could now unreservedly ask Heloise to show him her back.

Once they entered the room, Tyler told Heloise that he needed to verify the infection status of the Parasitic Blood Serpent.

Heloise hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something, but she remained silent. Then, with an awkward motion, she undressed, revealing her fair back.

(As expected, the infection speed is gradually accelerating... I must check it three times a day: morning, afternoon, and evening.)

Tyler frowned as he observed the infection's progress.

However, there was still some good news. After trying the basic purification potion, Tyler found that it was effective not only when taken orally but also when applied externally.

Tonight, he would use the potion recipe provided by Pamela to create a potent intermediate purification potion. He believed this would be more effective in slowing down the infection.

"Is the... examination over?" Heloise's voice quivered slightly.

"Yes, it's done."

"How is it?"

"Not very optimistic. The 'Sacred Liquid,' or in other words, the potion, is not very effective. Starting tomorrow, we need to increase the frequency of our checks to three times a day."

Tyler thought that Heloise would have objections to this, given her reluctance when he previously mentioned the need for seven days of checks.

To his surprise, Heloise simply nodded in agreement, accepting the situation compliantly.

"Alright, you can get dressed now."

As Tyler turned his back as usual, Heloise reached out to catch his sleeve.

"Felix..." Her soft voice echoed from behind, causing Tyler to freeze, unable to turn around.

"Yes? What is it?" Maintaining his position with his back towards Heloise, Tyler felt a sense of impending doom.

"Actually... as the Apostle of the Nefarious Tiger King... I want to request the Messenger of The Benevolent Deity... to thoroughly inspect... to check if there are any other... other Blood Serpents on me..."

Heloise's voice grew quieter as she spoke, her soft whispers barely audible.

Tyler, no novice to romance, understood what Heloise was implying.

At this moment, although Heloise was merely lightly holding his sleeve, Tyler felt as if his sleeve weighed a thousand pounds.

Tyler now understood why Heloise had asked him earlier if the divine power could be inaccurate. She had been harboring this idea since then.

"Are you sure you want to be checked, Heloise?" Tyler asked seriously.

"Mmm... mmm..." Heloise nodded, releasing his sleeve and moving towards the bed.

Several minutes later, Tyler completed the examination and informed Heloise that the Parasitic Blood Serpent was only in her back.

Heloise, her head lowered and her cheeks flushed, only nodded in response. Tyler looked at her, hesitated for a moment, then slowly reached out to pat her hair.

"Heloise, I appreciate your trust in me. But now that you are infected with the Parasitic Blood Serpent, I will not take advantage of you... You understand what I mean, right?"

Heloise didn't dare to look up, only nodding in response while keeping her gaze lowered.

"Alright then, get dressed quickly. It's cold at night, don't catch a chill."

Tyler picked up the clothes from the bed and draped them over Heloise's shoulders, then sat down at the table with his back towards her, earnestly reading 'The Preparation and Formulation Method for Intermediate Purification Potion'.

Heloise, sitting at the edge of the bed, didn't immediately put on her clothes as Tyler had instructed.

Instead, she silently watched Tyler's back for a while, then shyly dressed herself with a smile.

.

After spending over an hour, Tyler finally managed to create the first successful intermediate purification potion. He also mass-produced some intermediate antidotes, then had Heloise take both types of potions before bed. He assisted her in applying the intermediate purification potion on her back.

By the time they woke up the next day, Tyler would know the effectiveness of the new potion.

When it was time to sleep, Heloise suggested that they could sleep on the same bed, arguing that she would end up "sleepwalking" to the bed anyway.

Tyler reluctantly agreed. However, to his surprise, Heloise didn't do anything inappropriate after getting into bed.

She obediently laid at the edge of the bed like a small kitten and fell asleep.

As the infection of the Parasitic Blood Serpent deepened, Heloise not only became increasingly fatigued and drowsy, but her appetite also increased. These were all changes that Tyler had observed.

The Parasitic Blood Serpent was truly an evil entity. It not only robbed the host of nutrients and took over the host's body as a breeding ground but also caused the host's body to burst open when it matured...

(Why would such a thing exist in this world!)

Tyler clenched his fist as he looked at the sleeping Heloise.

However, his anger quickly subsided, and Tyler cooled down. In his anger, he realized a "blind spot" in his thinking.

He had a suspicion that since the Parasitic Blood Serpent was so "useful," the "Heavenly Ghost" might also use it to launch a suicide attack. If he were to infect a bird with the Blood Serpent, and then let it dive down when the infection was almost complete, it would be nearly impossible to defend against.

But if that was a feasible strategy, then all the efforts of the Earthly Ghost seemed foolish.

According to Tyler's current understanding of the Earthly Ghost, he was certainly an enemy with a certain degree of wisdom.

So, after eliminating the possibilities, there was only one answer left: the Parasitic Blood Serpent had some "secrets" that Tyler didn't know about.
