Chapter 277: Hospital Incident Rekindles 5
“So what do we do now? Aunt Jian can’t stay like this forever.”
Xia Ru really didn’t know what to do, so he calmly asked, Sang Chu looked at Xue You, “Can she be woken up?”
“It’s unlikely. Her condition is not right, and these tentacles are very restless. She might self-destruct and hurt someone.”
Lu Min Feng said, “Why don’t we let Xia Ru try? He’s quite interested in Aunt Jian’s tentacles anyway.”
Xia Ru was slightly stunned and didn’t speak, just looked at Sang Chu.
Lin Shao Qing completely agreed with the idea, “That could work. Jian Xiu Ying’s Supernatural Ability is out of control, and the higher the Level, the harder it is to control. It might be better to absorb some of it.”
Sang Chu seemed to be thinking about something, and after a long while, she asked, “Min Feng, can you touch things?”
Lu Min Feng immediately understood what she was asking and nodded slightly. Sang Chu immediately said, “Then you and Xiao Xue should go back to the hovercar first. Let’s split up.”
Lu Min Feng replied, “Okay.”
Lin Mu Xue was a bit confused, wondering why they were suddenly splitting up. But when she heard Lu Min Feng’s reply, she obediently followed him back to the car.
As soon as they entered the car, Lu Min Feng activated the defense and scanning modes. After confirming the car was fine, he took Lin Mu Xue to a room and casually grabbed a handful of yellow fine sand.
“Xiao Xue, when I fall asleep later, you guard here. If anything happens to the hovercar, you can directly activate the attack mode or find Sang Chu.”
Lin Mu Xue gave him a languid look, “Do I seem that unreliable?”
Lu Min Feng was taken aback, then quickly smiled and gently stroked her long hair, “I’m just worried about you getting hurt. If you’re not afraid, then my safety is in your hands.”
Lin Mu Xue replied, “Don’t worry, I know what to do. Earlier, when Sang Sang asked if you could touch things, did she mean your soul state?”
Lu Min Feng confirmed, “Yes, she probably wants me to find Zhao Qian’s location. Otherwise, if she’s hiding in the shadows, we’ll be very passive.”
Speaking of which, Mu Xue’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Seeing this, Lu Min Feng gently smoothed her brow, “Are you that worried about me?”
“I just feel like something is strange.”
Lu Min Feng sat down, holding Mu Xue’s hand and letting her sit beside him. He asked in a voice as gentle as water, “What feels strange?”
Mu Xue tried hard to think, but her mind felt like it was muddled, completely unable to process anything.
Lu Min Feng wasn’t in a hurry. He patiently brought up points he thought might be problematic, helping her sort out her thoughts.
“You think Zhao Qian is the problem?”
Mu Xue replied, “Yes, but I don’t think she did what happened on the second floor.”
Lu Min Feng asked, “Then do you think it was Aunt Jian?”
Mu Xue bit her lip and shook her head. Lu Min Feng asked about several other people one by one, but Mu Xue seemed to have normal impressions of them.
Suddenly, Lu Min Feng had an idea and asked, “Zhao Xiao? This person is Zhao Qian’s brother, and he was originally a Level Four Wood Element Supernatural Ability User.”
Mu Xue’s eyes suddenly lit up, “Is he tall and thin?”
“Yes, Zhao Xiao is about my height, a bit thinner than me, and darker-skinned.”
“Yes, it’s him! I, I think I’ve seen him before, at the hospital!”
Mu Xue’s voice suddenly rose a bit, then she seemed to recall something terrifying, trembling all over. “I, I remember now. It was when you were just hospitalized. After I visited Grandmother, I came to find you. At night, I went to get water for you, and I saw him in the water room. But he had a body then!”
Lu Min Feng frowned slightly, “Are you sure he had a body?”
“I’m sure, I really saw him. But for some reason, I forgot about it. No wonder I always felt something was off. The hospital, the whole hospital felt wrong. I, I remember when I saw Zhao Xiao, he, he seemed to be killing someone, and then, and then…”
Mu Xue suddenly trembled as if she had the shivers. Lu Min Feng quickly hugged her, gently patting her spine with one hand and stroking her head with the other, “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”
Mu Xue clutched Lu Min Feng’s clothes tightly, “I, I saw him peel off that person’s skin and wear it himself. I, I wanted to find you then, to find Sang Sang, but, but, but I, I forgot…”
“How could I forget again!”
Mu Xue lowered her head in annoyance. Lu Min Feng quickly took her hand, “Old An must have used Mind Control on you from the shadows. His Supernatural Ability Level is higher than yours, so it’s normal for him to control you to forget these things.”
“Sang Sang, right, I need to tell Sang Sang about this quickly!”
Lu Min Feng replied, “I know, I’ll tell her. For now, take a deep breath and try not to get too agitated, okay?”
Lu Min Feng’s voice was so gentle it could drip water. He held Lin Mu Xue tightly, unwilling to let go, because Mu Xue’s current state worried him greatly.
Mu Xue didn’t notice it herself, but her eyes were now completely bloodshot. Due to her extreme fear, Lu Min Feng could see a Protective Shield emanating from her.
A faint, light green halo slowly enveloped the two of them.
It seemed the situation back then must have been terrifying, so terrifying that Mu Xue unconsciously awakened a defensive Supernatural Ability.
This made him feel a bit defeated. He wanted to protect Mu Xue, but in the end, he couldn’t do anything.
Lu Min Feng took a deep breath, held Mu Xue tightly, and whispered comfortingly in her ear, “Xiao Xue, don’t worry, everything will be alright. Don’t be afraid, I’ll go find him now.”
Lin Mu Xue nodded and slowly loosened her grip. “Be careful. I, I suspect Zhao Xiao might be hiding among the crowd.”
“I know. I’ll tell A Chu to be careful. You be careful too. Even though we’re in the hovercar, you still need to ensure your safety. This is Xu Ke’s Card. If there’s danger, release him. This is Flying Eagle; its Combat Power is also quite good.”
“I have Cards too, don’t worry.”
Lu Min Feng looked at Mu Xue and, unable to control himself, slowly leaned closer and kissed her forehead. “Don’t worry, we’ll resolve this soon.”
After speaking, he didn’t give Mu Xue a chance to react. He tilted his head and fell asleep leaning against her.
Lu Min Feng, whose soul had left his body, was very worried about Mu Xue, yet he could barely suppress the smile on his lips.
He left the hovercar with a wide, beaming smile.
When Sang Chu received the mental wave message from Lu Min Feng, she was stunned for a few seconds.
What did “wearing human skin” mean?
She knew every character, but why did they sound so bizarre when put together?
Sang Chu took a deep breath and sent her consciousness into the Jade Bracelet Space. “Rabbit, how is Tu Lin?”
“【Still hatching. What do you need me for?”
Sang Chu replied, “【Do you know what can wear human skin? And how to deal with it?”
“【Wearing human skin? What the heck? Are you joking with me?”
Sang Chu gave a wry smile. “【I wish I were joking. Xiao Xue said she saw it. It’s better to believe it than not!”
