Chapter 90: Chapter 90 Blood Demon Flower
“Where will the official personnel co from this ti? Definitely not from sser City itself, maybe from Secret Phoenix State?”
“What kind of specialists? Combat class, support class, or just those versed in knowledge, without the power of the Extraordinary?”
Nurous thoughts flashed through Tang Qi’s mind, but due to the scarcity of information, his thoughts could not wander too far. It wasn’t long, however, before he determined how he was going to present himself, or rather, what persona he should adopt in front of the unknown official personnel.
Having equipped himself with Blood Python No.1, Heige’s hatred, Human Skin Ointnt… he put all these items back, locked them up, and then redressed in a student outfit heavy with the scent of scholars, putting on black-rimd glasses.
When he appeared before the full-length mirror, the Black-clothed Hunter vanished without a trace, replaced by an ordinary high school student. With Tang Qi’s deliberate concealnt, no one could tell he possessed the power of ditation thod and Fighting Skill.
Having resettled everything, including the traps inside the safe, Tang Qi gave Professor Cassel an instruction before swiftly leaving his ho.
...
Most buses had stopped running late at night, so Tang Qi only found a carriage at the street corner, paying a price ten tis that of a bus fare, he hurried towards Holy Thorn Hospital in the “clip-clop” sound of the carriage.
Compared to sser Police Station, Holy Thorn Hospital was more modern, being a newly constructed building less than ten years old.
However, similar to the police station, it was still brightly lit even at night.
As soon as Tang Qi stepped off the carriage, he was seen by Nathan waiting outside the hospital. The burly man’s face was filled with urgency, and he directly pulled Tang Qi into the hospital.
While walking, he hurriedly inford Tang Qi of the more detailed situation.
“This evening we were notified that the higher-ups wanted us to transport those Curios, the batch you didn’t want, to Secret Phoenix State. Our team, along with Stanna, were in charge of the escort. Initially, there were no problems, and it went smoothly.”
“But as soon as we left sser City, we were attacked by a Mysterious Person wearing a white mask, a Weirdo with incredible strength and terrifying speed. Our team was no match for him, Stanna launched a sneak attack and drove the Weirdo away.”
“However, before that person left, he suddenly threw a strange Bud at Stanna, and then the Bud exploded, and Stanna turned~turned into…”
Nathan’s face displayed uncontrollable sorrow and anger. Tang Qi could imagine that Stanna must have suffered so dangerous and inconceivable Abnormality, otherwise, it wouldn’t have left Nathan in such a condition, unable to even describe it.
The two arrived on the fourth floor of the hospital, at the intensive care unit.
After passing through stringent security, Tang Qi saw everyone outside the intensive care unit – the Chief, Gideon, Reine, and others were all there. Seeing Tang Qi approaching, they actively cleared a path for him. As Tang Qi walked over, the female Chief stepped forward to et him.
Instead of letting Tang Qi go directly into the innermost ward, she said, “The Special People from above have already arrived and are treating Stanna. We better not disturb them. If you want to see, follow .”
After speaking, she led Tang Qi to a glass partition.
Through a layer of glass, Tang Qi could clearly see everything inside.
Despite having ntally prepared himself, Tang Qi was still surprised by the scene that unfolded in the intensive care unit. He also understood why Nathan was unable to describe the scene – for a mont, it indeed was difficult to find the right words.
“Thump~thump thump”
Tang Qi’s heart began to beat violently.
Because inside the ward, the scene that should have featured Stanna wasn’t imdiately visible. Instead, what instantly captured his eyes was a cluster of flowers, a small sea of flowers. Each flamboyant, bright red flower grew from very thin Vines, intertwined and clustered together, filling the entire intensive care unit.
These flowers, crimson as if dyed with blood, possess an indescribable charm. Just one glance and it is difficult to look away.
It is an odd air that irresistibly beckons one to imrse and wander within.
They seem to have lives of their own, constantly swaying and curling, emitting a dreamlike whispering that, astonishingly, even a layer of glass cannot block the sound from seeping through and compelling one to follow it into that sea of flowers.
Tang Qi turned his head to look; the female chief had co prepared, with so white cotton in her ears and also wearing sunglasses.
And within the swaying field of flowers lay a red-haired woman.
Her wine-red hair was spread out, her face, already pale, was now abnormally white, with exposed skin completely entwined and covered by vines and flowers… At this mont, Stanna was like a legendary elf of the flowers or, perhaps, the most perfect and enchanting work of art.
However, it was clear to anyone that she was not far from death.
Suddenly, a pair of aged hands pushed aside a cluster of flowers, revealing beneath them a very fine vine creeping out from the pale skin. It seed to be slowly writhing; with each movent, Stanna’s blood would leave her body and enter those bewitchingly beautiful flowers.
And they, the flowers, swayed even more joyously, as if there were a song lingering in the air.
Tang Qi imdiately looked at the owner of the aged hands – a well-dressed old gentleman with glasses, a kindly face that seed always to smile, radiating an aura of comfort and affinity, and beside him stood a young man who looked like an assistant.
Tall with curly hair, handso, and with an air of integrity.
Both seed to find the situation before them quite thorny and dared not to hastily touch Stanna, carefully moving around the flowerbed as if searching for sothing.
Whoosh!
Clearly, these two were the official personnel from Secret Phoenix State who had co for reinforcent. Tang Qi could not feel any threat from the old gentleman, but the young man posed a slight sense of danger to him, aning that if a fight were to break out, he might be able to inflict injury.
First impressions did not reveal much information.
However, at this ti, Tang Qi did not imdiately focus his gaze on the two n to extract more fragnts of information.
Instead, he exhaled deeply, his eyes taking on a serious cast, finally settling on Stanna.
This was my “shield”; how could she die so easily?
While Tang Qi silently thought this, a special vision ford from specks of ghost light and entered his sight.
[Curios: Blood Demon Flower.]
[State: Growing.]
[Information Fragnt One: A curio contaminated by the Power of Unknown Evil God, it will explode when triggered by an external force, and automatically parasitize nearby life forms. It will suck all blood from its host, ultimately blooming into the most enchanting flowers.]
[Information Fragnt Two: Once it has sucked the host’s blood dry, each Blood Demon Flower will wither and continue to release a deadly toxin, causing death to life forms within several kiloters radius.]
“Hiss~”
As the second fragnt of information flowed past, Tang Qi’s pupils imdiately constricted sharply, and in the next instant, as the third fragnt of information erged and an inadvertent action occurred by the young man inside the intensive care unit, Tang Qi’s breathing suddenly beca more urgent than ever before.
