Chapter 1255
(Unedited)
…
The doctors and the nurses could not see why the bleeding is not stopping and why the wound of the awakened is not closing, but he could.
By using his absolute sense, he could already see the strange Ki that is stopping the person's body from closing up. Plus there is a strange energy pattern floating in the air which made him frown.
He walked towards the ergency departnt and asked one of the interns standing at the back.
"Did the awakened encounter a different creature?"
The intern who is focused on the person at the table nodded his head subconsciously.
"They said that it should be an intelligent demon imp… But we cannot verify this because that imp was killed by an awakened in the battle." The intern said.
He was one of the people who received the report from the dical staff who carried the patient to the hospital.
"Hmm… I thought so… It seems that this is a curse…" Xin Ja muttered.
The intern was a bit taken aback and then turns his head at Xin Ja.
"You… you're one of the victims, right?" the intern said as he vaguely rembered Xin Ja being taken to the hospital.
Xin Ja just nodded his head and then turn to the table. He did not have ti to think about anything anymore as he knew that ti is crucial. Once the will of the awakened wavered, then he would surely die.
As he steps forwards the intern suddenly wanted to stop him, but he was held back by a strong hand.
When he turns around, he was flabbergasted. This is because the one stopping him is one of the famous doctors in the hospital, Doctor Young.
"Let's just watch…" Doctor Young said.
He was watching the young man for a while now and then showing curiosity at the amnesiac guy. In his heart, he could not help but want to discover the secret the guy seems to be keeping.
Xin Ja walked toward the patient and several interns were surprised to see him. But before they could react, they saw the young man grab a long needle from the tal tray where there are dical equipnt placed.
Then with everyone's eyes wide in disbelief, they saw him plunge that long needles into the patient's stomach.
Puchi!
The needle easily penetrated the stomach of the patient and half of it was embedded before Xin Ja removes it. After doing that, the dark complexion covering his wound suddenly turned ruddy in color. Then as if on cue, the large gash on his stomach slowly stopped bleeding.
Xin Ja has actually absorbed the Chaotic Ki that composes the curse. And he could not help but feel a bit glad.
The interns and nurses were astonished at what they saw.
Then Xin Ja takes a step back away from the patient and turns around to leave.
When he did so, he saw the familiar smiling face of Doctor Young.
He could not help but feel shivers running down his spine when he saw that crafty smile on Doctor Young's face.
"It seems that you, my friend, have so skills." Doctor Young complinted.
"Doctor Young is jesting. It is only a trivial skill…" Xin Ja politely nodded his head.
"Indeed, indeed… Would like to follow , young man?" Doctor Young gestured for Xin Ja to follow him.
Taking a last glance at the patient on the table, Xin Ja decided to follow Doctor young from behind.
anwhile, the stomach of the patient is already being sewed by the interns as they could not see any complications inside and the patients breathing and vitals beca normal.
…
Xin Ja walked behind Doctor Young as they toured the rooms in the hospital along with the interns that are assigned to follow Doctor Young.
anwhile, Xin Ja just listened to the reports given by the staff and the nurses on the condition of the patients.
Xin Ja would use his absolute sense to scan the bodies of the patients and was a bit curious about how the Shen were turned into mortals just by sealing their Shen core.
Without the supply of power from their core, they are no more than a re mortal. Right now, he so wanted to go to the library and read so books to know more about the history of the Shens in this world.
But he has to wait… he needs to get more familiar with a lot of things and that would take ti. Plus, he knew that in this place, he could have a chance to grow faster and beco strong, so that he might have a chance to fight against his future enemies, the demons and the shadow beings.
As he looks at the patient one by one, Xin Ja did not have any reaction until he suddenly found a woman in her late 30s lying quietly in bed.
She looks at the doctors checking her and asking her questions and then listened to their words. In the end, she showed a deep frown on her face after hearing about her worsening condition.
"Miss Gullina… As you have said, the other hospitals in our country and even outside have already given up on your condition… the only thing was can do is try to prolong your life as much as we can…" Doctor Young said in the end.
"Prolong… my life? You just want to sit in here and wait for my life to end?"
"How cruel can that be?" she mocked.
"Sigh… I know that it is very cruel, but this is also your chance to at least enjoy your life in this world more… to at least stay for your family…" Doctor Young persuaded.
The woman did not say anything and just lowered her head.
She suddenly rembers the ti in the past when she was still healthy.
Her na is Jade Gullina, and she was a singer and has beco really famous in the country. Many have bought her records and many beca her fans. It was the lilight of her career.
But then one day, a high-ranking awakened who fancied her suddenly kidnapped her. The guy wanted to take advantage of her. But she struggled and never gives in.
And at that ti, she suddenly discovered that she actually awakened her power. Because of her desire for strength, she forcefully opened her powers.
She beca strong and even gets to kill that high-ranking awakened person.
But who would have known that because of that, her body was unable to support her own abrupt strength that it is not slowly crumbling from the inside?
Her recovery could not keep up with the deterioration of her body. And that is the ti that she finds out that although she was awakened, it was only for that instant.
Now she could not even use even a small amount of that power.
She was awakened as a C-rank with control of the hybrid elent of lightning.
But that was all in the past.
She knew that her previous glory and fa will be gone after she died. And now she could only imagine the past and dream about the future which is obscure in her mind.
She heaved a deep sigh, and then slowly closes her eyes.
While her mind reminisces about the past, tears began to roll down her eyes as she could not help but sob.
"Sigh… Is it really a cri to have such beauty? Is it my fault for having such a face and voice?" she muttered resentfully.
The doctors have already left…
After saying her resentnts, she slowly lifted her head, and what she saw startled her a bit.
"You… Who… Who are you? Why… why are you here?" she stuttered while looking at the handso young man before her.
"Hmm… It is truly a cri when you are beautiful…" Xin Ja showed a teasing smile.
"You… How dare you… Who are you?" Jade wanted to scold him, but she stopped herself.
"Let ask you a question, first before I introduce myself…" Xin Ja politely nodded.
"What is your dream?"
When she heard the question, she frowned and wanted to answer but Xin Ja lifted his hand to stop her.
"Your… real dream… or rather… goal in life…"
She showed a faint frown on her face and then looks at the smiling young man.
"I only want to sing… To… To sing the songs that I made." She replied with a flash of reminiscing in her eyes.
"Hmm… Don't you want to be awakened?"
"No… But… I… I'm not sure... If being awakened could protect , then why not? But that is not my life's goal… I only like to sing…" she replied showing resolution at the end of her sentence.
"Alright, then I will help you… I will close your core to the best of my ability… But this will not go out of this room, do you understand?" Xin Ja relayed his condition.
"Is… Is that all you wanted?" she asked.
Xin Ja just showed a wide grin on his face. Did she think that tampering with Shen's core is sothing that trivial?
Well, he could not bla her. He only wanted to pry open the secret of the Shens that's all. And now he has a perfect specin, so how could he not feel happy?
