"How do I get this blood? And what method do I use to replenish the runes, after acquiring the blood?" Lain, asked with a questioning look on his face. He even felt a slight chill every time he thought about using blood to replenish runes.
"You can either go to a physical store here in the district, or order the blood online, through the Global Archives section on the smaller TV. Most beasts' blood will replenish the energy within the runes, so you can also just go hunt animals outside the city or around the districts in order to acquire their blood." Hui Shi said, as he also looked around the dark room.
"Brother Hui Shi is correct. You can use any animal's blood. But the more powerful the animal, the more energy their blood contains, and also the less blood you'll need to replenish the runes." Annette added in satisfaction, since she's been doing this for years, and knew quite a lot more about this subject than the previous ones they've talked about.
"In order to replenish the runes, you just need to place your stone key inside a vat of blood, or inside an animal, and it'll absorb all the blood within. It'll then slowly distribute the energy within the blood into the runes inside the house using invisible energy waves, while you're on the premises" Hui Shi, stated.
"You can also dump blood on the floor, anywhere in the house, and the runes engraved on the floor will absorb them, and distribute the energy within the blood all around the house." Annette added in glee.
"Watch this!" She stated afterward, before a long, tiny muscle in her right arm started to wiggle around like a little serpent. After a few seconds of wiggling, it slowly separated from the rest of her arm, and slithered down from her arm towards the floor, as its khaki color, which resembled Annettte's skin, slowly started to change into that of green.
Scales started forming on its long, slim body before it made it to the floor, and large snake-like eyes grew out of its head.
By the time its entire body laid on the floor, it resembled a vicious green snake, with the length of an arm.
The snake-like muscle, after reaching the floor, quickly looked at Hui Shi, and Lain, with the eyes of a dangerous predator, before blood started to seep out from in-between its scales.
The blood that seeped out of its body quickly landed on the floor, painting the floor around the snake-like muscle, blood-red in color.
After a few seconds of watching the snake-like muscle bleed on the floor, Lain soon noticed the blood slowly start to evaporate, as the runes underneath it lit up.
