Chapter 86: 078 Wonders Four (Alliance Hierarch Xie, 1 1=3)_2
“I’m not a damn doctor! Don’t yell at !” Song Ran looked grave as he switched the car to self-driving mode, then bent down to open a hidden compartnt under the seat.
He took out a silver tal tube and threw it backward.
“Inject him with it!”
“This is Fantasy Water! Have you lost your mind!?” Sima Gui caught the tal tube and instantly recognized the stuff.
Fantasy Water, the top-tier hallucinogenic and relaxant drug, was once popular for its blood replenishing effects, but was later found to cause permanent damage to the nervous system and was banned. It is also one of the most addictive drugs.
“Inject it! It’s better than dying!” Song Ran raised his voice and shouted.
With gritted teeth, Sima Gui picked up the syringe, ready to draw the drug.
Clap.
Suddenly his hand was grasped by Li Chengyi.
“It’s okay….” Li Chengyi’s face was pale, devoid of any color, but at this mont, amidst the bright lights flashing inside the car, a faint golden light subtly streaked across his body.
That light was weak and pale, blending into the light and shadows, undetectable to anyone.
That was the Floral Firm Technique!
As the Flower Language Technique took effect, the rate of blood loss from Li Chengyi’s body began to slow down dramatically.
“I can hold on, go to the hospital! Transfusion! Put on the tabolism machine!” Li Chengyi said his last words before his consciousness finally couldn’t hold out any longer and lapsed into a dazed state.
In his half-conscious haze, he maintained a minimum level of vigilance, watching as Sima Gui and Song Ran stopped the car and lifted him onto a stretcher.
Then there was the wailing of the ambulance, the red and blue halo swaying before his eyes.
Perhaps due to the effect of the Floral Firm Technique, he remained conscious; although his awareness was hazy, his senses still enabled him to see everything happening around him.
He was taken into the hospital, wheeled into the ICU, surrounded by machines set up beside the bed, as cold blood and dicine slowly entered his arm through the IV, then circulated throughout his body.
The downward trend of his red blood cell count finally stabilized, and began to rise slowly.
At this mont, Li Chengyi’s eyes were slightly darkened, but he could still see through the floor-to-ceiling window as his boss Xindela rushed over in a hurry.
Through the glass, Xindela nodded solemnly at him, then swiped his card to pay.
“Don’t worry, the company’s got everything! We’ll reimburse it as a work-related injury,” he said steadily through the intercom.
“Boss, you’re the best!” Li Chengyi weakly gave him a thumbs up and forced a smile.
“I’ll provide for your retirent and send you off when the ti cos,” he said softly.
“Maybe try to stay alive yourself first,” Xindela said, exasperated.
This kid, still joking even now.
He stood outside the ICU, looking at the dical report handed over by the doctor.
“The patient has a large amount of unidentified neurotoxins and hemolytic toxins in his body, and we can only stabilize his vital signs through a major blood exchange. We’ve drawn blood for tests, but strangely, the blood samples co out perfectly normal,” the doctor said, obviously puzzled.
“His blood is just like that of a healthy person, except for the low red blood cell count; everything else is normal.”
“Never mind that, just tell how much it will cost to get him well,” Xindela tossed the report back to the doctor.
“At least three days, fifty thousand a day. Luckily, all his organs are fine, which is incredible. The red blood cell count was so low, and it was at least fifteen minutes before he was brought to the hospital, yet all organs are perfectly normal; it’s simply…” the doctor expressed with an incredulous look.
“Just cure him; the rest is none of your business,” Xindela said indifferently, his gaze piercing through the glass to the lying Li Chengyi inside.
“You people…” the doctor squinted, as if understanding sothing. Without further discussion, he shook his head and walked away.
“Boss, don’t tell my family,” Li Chengyi suddenly spoke up.
“I know,” Xindela replied, “I’ll cover for you.”
“Yeah, this ti, there was so gain, although it was a bit dangerous, it should be worth it,” Li Chengyi said earnestly.
He hadn’t expected the Silent Store to be so dangerous; no wonder the tag only ntioned holding out for ten minutes.
Looking back, these ten minutes were likely unsurvivable by ninety-nine percent of people.
In fact, if it weren’t for Song Ran and the others coming to his aid, he reckoned he could have found a spot to don the Floral Dress, use the Firm Flower Language Technique, and probably stabilize his condition.
Of course, their arrival was naturally for the best.
After all, the Firm Flower Language Technique also had a ti limit and required cooling down.
“Gain? What gain?” Xindela asked confusedly.
“This.” Li Chengyi lifted his hand, revealing a mixed fruit juice drink he had been clutching all along.
“What is that?”
To his surprise, Xindela couldn’t see anything at all; his eyes scanned over Li Chengyi’s hand, finding nothing but empty space.
Seeing his expression, Li Chengyi knew he wasn’t pretending, and the owner of the Silent Store was not soone who liked to joke around.
He quickly understood what was going on.
“We’ll talk back at the company,” he said.
“Okay!”
The two quickly ca to an agreent.
“Also, I need an AR that can be used offline; the cloud database is completely useless once disconnected,” Li Chengyi said, recalling the previous ordeal with a sigh.
“Just add a storage device to you,” Xindela said with a laugh.
“You should rest well, we’ll talk when you get back.”
“Okay.”
Xindela turned and left, leaving Li Chengyi to slowly close his eyes and start resting on the hospital bed.
This injury was the most severe he had ever suffered since entering the Blind Spot.
Li Chengyi spent a full two days in the hospital before his condition stabilized sowhat, and as soon as it did, he requested to be discharged.
He and his hospital bed were directly transferred to an apartnt in the city owned by the company.
There, a person was already in charge of taking care of him.
What astonished Li Chengyi was that no one he t along the way—whether it was a doctor, a nurse, Song Ran, Sima Gui, or any other company personnel—could see the bottle of juice he held in his hand.
This bizarre phenonon sparked an intense curiosity in him about what exactly was inside that bottle.
Similarly, the injury and poisoning he suffered this ti made him realize that he must equip a special Flower Language Technique in his Divine Flower Postion for dealing with injuries and detoxification of poisons.
If it had been a toxin that modern dicine could handle this ti, that was fine, but if he were infected by so virus or toxin next ti that dical science was helpless against, he would be dood.
In the Blind Spot, no one could say for sure what dangers might appear.
He rested in the apartnt for another day and a half.
Xindela, Song Ran, and Sima Gui finally arrived together to ask about what had happened that day.
Inside the spacious white bedroom,
Li Chengyi sat propped up on the bed, holding the bottle of mixed fruit juice and looking at the three people who took their seats opposite him.
He quickly recounted what happened at the Silent Store.
“Silent Store? Exotic beverages?” Xindela furrowed his brows slightly as he listened.
“It seems like I’ve heard about such a Blind Spot sowhere…”
His gaze focused on Li Chengyi’s raised right hand, where, according to Li Chengyi, there was a bottle of drink invisible to others.
“In the past, there were similar Blind Spots where people had obtained so rather strange things. Try opening it and see if anything can be poured out,” he suggested.
Li Chengyi nodded, reached out to grip the cap, and was about to twist it open.
Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, drawn to the tiny characters on the bottle that he had been previously unable to recognize. As his attention focused, those strange characters twisted and transford, turning into Yi Country characters he could understand!
The original strawberry and apple designs on the label also transford into clusters of black and ash-colored, centipede-like ghastly bugs.
These bugs had human faces, expressions filled with resentnt and pain, and their hard-shelled backs were covered with black-green moss.
Seeing this, Li Chengyi’s hand, which was about to forcefully twist open the cap, paused.
With a grave look in his eyes, he took a deep breath, signaling to Xindela and the others to wait, then looked carefully at the characters on the bottle.
‘Shadow of Resentnt Blood.’
‘Instructions: After opening the cap, align it with one’s major blood vessels, press closely, and maintain for ten minutes to complete blood exchange.’
‘Effect: Gain minor traits of the Shadow of Resentnt race.’
‘Side effects: Unknown.’
‘Restriction: Only the finder may use. Cannot be analyzed, cannot be detached, cannot be perceived.’
