228: Chapter 71 ‘Expert’ Consultation_2 228: Chapter 71 ‘Expert’ Consultation_2 Master Niu first checked Chen Tianwen’s condition, not sure if he truly understood or just pretended to, and seed troubled after the examination.
“Honestly, I’m not a professional doctor, and I’m not sure how to treat this.
His breath is weak and his vital signs are not good, so maybe I should transfer so Inner Strength to help him catch his breath,” he said.
He then had soone arrange Chen Tianwen in a ditative seated position, sat down opposite him, folded his legs, placed his hands against Chen Tianwen’s, and began ‘Energy Healing’.
The posture for this Energy Healing looked exactly like sothing out of a martial arts film Xiao Jie had seen, which made him struggle not to laugh given the seriousness and urgency of the situation, but he suppressed the urge to critique and watched Master Niu perform the healing.
In the ga, Qi Gong Masters also have this Skill, which can restore health to teammates and remove debuffs such as Heavy injuries, bleeding, etc.
It was just uncertain if it was applicable to Chen Tianwen’s current condition.
As the Inner Strength flowed, plus of white smoke began to emanate from Master Niu’s head.
He resembled a human-shaped furnace, emitting a strong heat radiation.
Captain Lin looked grave while Xiao Jie and An Ran quietly observed the turn of events, but the doctor was left dumbfounded.
After a while, Master Niu ceased the flow of energy and took a breath, his hands slowly separating from Chen Tianwen’s body.
“I’ve transferred so Inner Strength to him, which should help him hold on for a while.
An Ran—maybe you should try as well?”
“?” An Ran hesitated.
“Yes, many hands make light work, right?
Don’t Demon Masters also have healing skills?”
“Okay, but just to be clear, my Demon Art is a bit sinister, so don’t get frightened.
And, uh—could you please step out for a mont?”
The referred individual was the doctor.
The doctor hastily waved his hand, “Don’t mind , I am also very interested in this…uh, new concept therapy.”
Xiao Jie thought it was quite sothing for him to co up with such a term.
An Ran glanced at Captain Lin, who signaled with a wave of his hand, and imdiately two people in Black Windbreakers ca forward and ushered the doctor out.
Only then did An Ran start her work.
This was the first ti Xiao Jie had witnessed a Demon Master casting.
An Ran pulled out a dagger and slashed open her palm.
As the blood flowed, her eyes suddenly turned a creepy shade of blood-red, her pupils dilating like those of a cat.
She mumbled sothing incomprehensible, sounding more like the howling of a wild animal than human speech—even Xiao Jie could not understand it.
As An Ran chanted, the blood dripping from her hand turned into a cloud of blood mist.
With a wave of her hand, it transford into a misty snake that entered Chen Tianwen’s body through all openings, instantly turning his previously pale face vividly flushed.
The entire person seed rejuvenated, his breathing becoming much more stable and strong.
Yet, he still did not wake up.
“This should help him last a bit longer,” she said.
Xiao Jie curiously asked, “Can’t you remove the curse from his body?”
An Ran shook her head, “My Demon Art can only enhance his physical vitality; I can’t do anything about soul damage.
I suspect he might be under a ghost curse or sothing of the Soul Capturing sort, which I can’t resolve.
You need to find a Taoist, Heavenly Master or soone from the Mysterious Sect.
If that fails, maybe a monk reciting scriptures might help.”
Xiao Jie thought it was a pity that the Divine Wood Talisman was a piece of Equipnt in the ga, otherwise he could have tried it himself.
Considering Chen Tianwen was a Qi n Master—still a Heavenly Master—it was unfortunate he was unconscious, otherwise, he could have asked how to handle this situation.
Although Xiao Jie wasn’t particularly close with Chen Tianwen, they were from the sa city and looked out for each other occasionally; they were sowhat friends.
Seeing him in this state of unknown life or death, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but worry.
Captain Lin sighed, “In that case, all we can do is wait and hope the expert from the province arrives soon.”
Dut—Dut—Dut!
A sudden ringtone sounded, and after Captain Lin picked up and spoke a few words, his expression visibly darkened.
“The ‘expert’ from the province is currently raiding in a team and can’t co imdiately; it might take a while,” he said.
Xiao Jie was astonished, “What do we do now?”
“We can only wait,” Captain Lin said with a sense of helplessness.
As they waited for hours, the three, considered ‘professionals,’ could only pass the ti in the hospital.
Before they knew it, it was night.
In the anti, An Ran and Master Niu took turns to ‘treat’ Chen Tianwen again, but his vital signs continued to deteriorate uncontrollably.
Even his breathing beca barely perceptible.
As a Beast Tar without healing abilities, Xiao Jie could only watch helplessly, unsure if it was due to boredom or the hospital lights, but he began to feel drowsy and his eyelids beca increasingly heavy.
As nightfall approached, Master Niu, who had stood up, said.
“Folks, let’s not just keep exhausting ourselves; let’s grab sothing to eat first, what do you say—Xiao Jie, I’m going to get sothing to eat, do you want to bring sothing for you?”
“Uh, anything is fine, I…” Xiao Jie was about to respond when he suddenly heard a fleeting voice.
“Xiao Jie…
Xiao Jie…
co this way…”
The voice seed extrely distant yet also like a whisper in his ear.
He jerked awake instantly.
Damn, who is ssing around making ghost calls?
However, when he looked around, he was startled to find the corridor completely deserted; An Ran and Master Niu had disappeared, and even the two guards who had been at the door were gone.
