Chapter 117 Restraint

Lili's hands were visibly trembling, but she didn't realize it until someone pointed it out. At the same time, the shards of porcelain she was holding crumbled into a pile of powder—as if completely out of control.

"I... I don't know what's happening..." Lili waved her hands in a flustered manner. "I didn't use any force..."

Hao Ren was equally confused, but seeing the panic on Lili's face, he was the first to calm down: "Don't panic, relax, don't move around—Vivian, do you know what's going on?"

Vivian carefully observed Lili's eyes, which were brighter than usual: "It seems like she's entered some kind of inexplicable state of excitement... Did you eat something weird? Some kind of stimulant?"

Tears almost welled up in Lili's eyes: "No, I only ate a steamed bun this afternoon, and I was so hungry I didn't have any strength just now..."

Hao Ren didn't even bother with dinner. He noticed that Lili was not only trembling, but her body was also shaking slightly, as if she was about to lose control of her muscles. He quickly helped the werewolf girl up: "Let's go to the sofa and rest for a while... Relax!"

As soon as Hao Ren helped Lili stand up, he realized that her muscles were extremely stiff. He felt like he was struggling to support a piece of rigid steel, but Lili just shook her head vigorously when she heard Hao Ren's words: "I don't dare to relax. If I relax, I won't be able to control my strength. Landlord, don't hold me, I'm afraid I'll accidentally throw you away... Ah, I really threw you away!"

Lili just moved her arm slightly, and Hao Ren felt as if he had been hit by a speeding truck and sent flying, even knocking over Vivian, who was closest to him. The werewolf girl was both anxious and scared when she saw this. She wanted to step forward to help, but seeing her trembling and increasingly out-of-control hands, she could only stand still. Then, she carefully sat down on the sofa, and as she placed her hand on the armrest, she tore a big hole in it.

Hao Ren and Vivian awkwardly helped each other up. Fortunately, their physical enhancements were quite effective. If it had been before, that one hit would have been enough to keep him in the hospital for two weeks. The two carefully approached Lili and saw the werewolf girl curled up in a corner of the sofa, her body stiff, afraid to move her hands and feet, as if she was afraid of demolishing the house with a single breath.

"It should be a sudden loss of control of strength, coupled with mild, unexplained excitement, but her mind is still clear," Vivian said, as the only person present with some understanding of werewolves, she could only bite the bullet and act as a doctor. She told Lili not to move around, and then plucked up her courage to flip Lili's eyelids. "There's slight hyperemia under the eyes. Open your mouth and let me see your tongue... Seriously, have you not eaten anything strange?"

Lili shook her head with a mournful face: "No, I really don't know what's going on!"

The werewolf girl was almost crying. She had never been sick since she was a child, and she had rarely even scraped her skin. This led to her having no experience with "being sick" at all. This was the first time she had encountered a problem with her body, and she, who was usually a bit timid, immediately panicked. Hao Ren was also anxious and helpless. He could only hope for Vivian: "Do you know how to treat a werewolf's illness?"

"I don't understand at all," Vivian shook her head frankly.

"...Then why were you looking so professional, flipping her eyes and checking her tongue coating?"

Vivian turned her face away: "I only remembered that I don't know how to treat her after I finished the examination!"

"Then what do we do?" Hao Ren spread his hands. "Send her to the hospital?"

Vivian pointed to Lili's ears and tail: "Look at this, what department should she go to? What doctor can cure this kind of disease?"

Hao Ren thought for a long time and felt that if he really wanted to treat Lili, he would probably have to find a veterinarian.

"Oh, right, a veterinarian!" Hao Ren slapped his head. "Lili, aren't you a veterinarian yourself?"

The werewolf girl slapped the back of the sofa hard: "I usually treat dogs, but I'm a werewolf! I can't treat myself, okay... Ah, I'm sorry, the sofa's broken."

Hao Ren silently looked at the broken back of the sofa, not caring about getting angry. He could only place his hopes on the last important figure present: "Izhaks, do you have a solution?"

Izhaks shook his head straightforwardly: "There are no such creatures in the Abyss, and I'm not a doctor either."

Hao Ren translated the great demon's words, and Lili immediately lowered her head dejectedly: "Then what do I do... Could I be infected with some terminal illness? Bat, do you know what to do when a werewolf gets sick? You can't treat me yourself, but you should have seen a lot of werewolves, right?"

"This..." The expression on Vivian's face was very strange. "In general, after a werewolf gets sick, I usually celebrate with a good meal."

Everyone: "..."

"You're still making sarcastic remarks!" Lili's tail bristled with anger. "Maybe it's your fault! I've been feeling uncomfortable ever since I saw that red moon you made a few days ago, maybe today..."

"Wait!" Hao Ren quickly interrupted Lili. "You said red moon? What red moon?"

"It was the day we first met the big guy," Lili pouted. "The bat summoned a particularly big red moon. I glanced at that moon and felt very uncomfortable. I've been uncomfortable for days, it's all because of this bat."

Hao Ren finally remembered the spectacle he had seen that night. The demon fire sea floating in the sky and the vampire's crimson full moon summoned in the sky confronted each other, the magnificent scene was still vivid in his mind. However, he didn't think anything of it afterwards, he just thought that Vivian usually looked quiet, but she was actually quite powerful at critical moments, and could even confront a great demon of Izhaks' level head-on. As for that crimson full moon... he didn't feel anything at all.

But now it seemed that Lili was reacting to the moonlight.

"It's really related to the moon?" Hao Ren looked at Vivian, expecting her to refute a few words, but he didn't expect Vivian to hesitate and nod: "It's hard to say... Blood moons do have an impact on many races. A long, long time ago, I used it once and directly drove a werewolf tribe crazy, but I controlled the power that night, and the moonlight should have only made the big dog a little uncomfortable. There shouldn't be any aftereffects in theory. And it hasn't happened for so many days, right? My blood moon should have lost its effect after being cancelled."

"Right, we can ask that Raven 12345!" While everyone was stuck, Hao Ren suddenly thought of a powerful helper. "She's the one who asked me to take care of you, so if anything happens to you, I should report it to her. Vivian, can you take the trouble to bring Lili over there now..."

"No, we have to wait until tomorrow morning at least," Vivian stopped Hao Ren, and pointed out the window. "There are still four days until the full moon, and the moonlight is already stimulating Lili. If she goes outdoors, the situation will probably worsen immediately, and she might even go berserk on the spot."

"So the problem now is how to get through tonight," Hao Ren nodded, and his gaze fell on Lili again. The chills on her body had stopped for the time being, but the trembling of her hands was still very severe, and her golden eyes were already a little cloudy. The increasingly bright golden light in her eyes made people very uneasy. "Lili, are you still conscious?"

The werewolf girl nodded: "I'm okay."

Hao Ren was still worried and asked, "What's nineteen hundred and ninety-nine plus one hundred?"

"Two thousand."

"We're done... she's still confused!"

"Confused my ass," Vivian slapped Hao Ren on the shoulder. "She can't even do it right normally, this is her normal level!"

Vivian and Hao Ren were busy doing nothing, but in the end, it was Izhaks who came up with a key idea: "I think the most important thing is to prevent this little girl from moving around. Her destructive power is too strong now, and she can't control it herself. If you force her to suppress it, she'll not only waste her energy, but also easily hurt others—do you have any sturdy ropes or chains here?"

"Don't bother," Hao Ren sighed. "She can snap chains as thick as bowls with one hand. This guy doesn't have any special skills, except for her strength, which is just cheating."

Izhaks spread his hands: "Then the only thing left is to knock her unconscious."

"Even if you smash her head with a dozen tons of rocks, she might not pass out," Hao Ren looked at Izhaks. "But you should be able to do it if you take action?"

Izhaks waved his hands: "I won't hit her, I can't bring myself to do it, it doesn't fit my rules."

Hao Ren really wanted to jump up and down: As a demon, why do you have such a high sense of morality?

"Then I'll do it myself..." After Hao Ren translated Izhaks' suggestion, Lili looked pitifully at the three people surrounding her, and decided to show her gratitude for everyone's concern by actively cooperating. But she raised her hand and gestured a few times on her head, still a little worried: "Like this now... I won't accidentally kill myself, right?"

"If you can't bring yourself to do it, let me do it," Vivian gestured. "But I estimate that I can't knock you unconscious with one hit, and magic might not be able to knock you unconscious either, so it'll take a long time..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "bang" sound, and Lili knocked herself out with one punch.

Hao Ren looked in astonishment at the silly werewolf who had already passed out and was breathing steadily: "Actually, I wanted to say... the data terminal just said that it has a way to temporarily control Lili's symptoms."

Vivian: "...Ha, haha, let's go eat, let's go eat..."

(I actually cut my hand while cooking...)
