Chapter 158: Riding a Tiger and Unable to Dismount
No, wait. First, I need to sort out the situation…
Weiss once again forced herself to calm down.
The petrification symptoms caused by the Cursed Blood curse could disguise themselves as a sculpture because only the parts belonging to a living organism would petrify. Even fingernails and hair would transform into a mineral-like texture.
But the clothes on a person’s body would not change.
In other words, she would become a statue wearing ordinary fabric clothing. No matter how one looked at it, that would be far too strange. If discovered, it would instead attract the attention of the inspectors.
Normally, even if sculptures wore clothing, the garments should be carved as part of the sculpture itself. Reproducing the texture of clothing was part of a sculptor’s craftsmanship.
Using the Creator’s Blessing to alter the texture of clothing would not work either. Once petrified and unconscious, she would no longer be able to maintain the power of the Blessing.
There was also risk in wearing clothes beneath the white cloth. Even if covered, some part of the body would still definitely need to be exposed to convince inspectors that it was a sculpture. Otherwise, they would certainly lift the white cloth for closer inspection.
If clothing became visible, or if the cloth slipped off, either situation would easily expose the problem.
