Chapter 278: Mad Dog
“Is there a bed?!”
“Yes, yes! Over there!”
“Bring me some clean water, heated!”
“Ah, I understand!”
Upon entering the Mad Dog gang’s lodgings, Seon Woo-jin and his group hurriedly laid the poisoned Baek Mu-ho on a bed and began examining his condition.
Baek Moo-ho was no longer vomiting blood, but his face remained pale, and he was still unconscious.
Seon Woo-jin took Baek Mu-ho’s wrist and began to take his pulse.
Of course, it was Mokrang who actually interpreted the signs.
– From the very first time I saw him, the dark lines in the whites of his eyes and the blue lines on his teeth stood out. That’s why I said he was poisoned. Still, since he seemed able to move normally, I thought it must be in the early stages. But it seems I was wrong.
‘Is the condition serious?’
– Hmm, it’s quite serious. There’s a medicine called Seunghong. It’s used to treat syphilis. If used appropriately, it can improve the condition, but if overused, it can lead to lethargy and muscle destruction. In severe cases, it can cause vomiting blood and even death.
At the words “coughing up blood and losing one’s life,” Seonwoo Jin swallowed hard.
Baek Muho’s symptoms matched that description exactly.
‘So this happened because that medicine was used incorrectly?’
– No, it’s not Seunghong. It’s a similar mineral poison, but far more insidious and vicious. The characteristic of mineral poison is that it slowly accumulates in the body before symptoms suddenly appear. Precisely like this. This Baek Muho fellow has likely been administered poison by someone over a long period. And now, at this very moment, the symptoms have manifested.
