Chapter 280: Hospital Troubles Erupt Again 8
“I’m not lying, this is true!!!”
Wang Quan was very excited, even swearing, “If I’m lying, then, then may lightning strike me.”
Shi Feng scoffed, “Who believes in oaths in the apocalypse? Empty words are not proof. If you want us to believe you, you have to show us the people you claim have gone missing. Neither I nor Doctor Lin found anyone missing, only you, hmph!”
This cold snort fully displayed Shi Feng’s harshness. Sang Chu’s opinion of him changed greatly. She had always thought Shi Feng was a person without many superfluous expressions, but she didn’t expect him to be so good at acting.
Sang Chu: “Shi Feng, it’s better to believe it exists than not. I believe Wang Quan wouldn’t speak without reason. We came here to investigate the recent anomalies at the hospital, and we can’t let any clues slip by. Wang Quan, you can lead us to see the hospital rooms of the people you said went missing first.”
After speaking, she turned to look at Xia Ru and Zuo Xue Feng: “You two stay here. Shi Feng, Lin Shao Qing, and I will go with him.”
Wang Quan: “Thank you, Sister Sang, for believing me. I’ll take you there now.”
He turned to leave, and it was this address, “Sister Sang,” that confirmed to Sang Chu that he was the Zhao Xiao that Lu Min Feng had mentioned!
Those who entered the base later either called her Leader, following Elder Yan, or changed their address to City Lord. Only the first batch of people would call her Sister Sang.
Although this Zhao Xiao left later, in his memory, calling her that was fine.
After all, Sang Chu rarely came to the hospital, and even when she did, it was only to meet with Shi Feng and the others.
Hearing this address, Xia Ru also felt something was off, but he didn’t know that Zhao Xiao was not dead and had mutated into someone who could wear human skin and move around. Thus, he only felt it was a bit strange.
Second Floor
In the storage room at the end of the corridor, Lu Min Feng discovered Zhao Shijun and Wang Jin, who were missing and in a coma. Beside them was Zhao Qian’s spirit body, struggling to pry open the battle armor on the two of them.
Fortunately, these battle armors were not easy to remove, otherwise Zhao Shijun and Wang Jin would be dead for sure.
“Sister Sang, I saw those people disappear after coming to the storage room. Although I don’t know if they are still here now, this place must have a problem!”
“Lead the way.”
Is that Sang Chu’s voice?
Lu Min Feng saw Zhao Qian float away and immediately followed. Unexpectedly, a small hand patted him: 【What are you doing here? 】
【Tu You? 】
Lu Min Feng suddenly turned his head and saw two rabbits, one black and one white?
The white one was Tu You, so what about the black one?
But he didn’t ask further, because Zhao Qian was about to disappear from sight!
【Can you see Zhao Qian? Will you come with me? 】
【Okay, okay, Tu Lin, you wait for A Chu here. I’ll go with Lu Min Feng to take a look. 】
Tu Lin: 【Alright, be careful. 】
【Mm-hmm~ 】
Tu You hopped onto Lu Min Feng’s shoulder, too lazy to fly on its own. The person and the rabbit chased after Zhao Qian.
Tu Lin stayed behind to check the vital signs of these two people: 【Master, I’ve found the two missing armored individuals. According to your method, I can only determine that these two are still alive. What should we do now? 】
After vision sharing, Sang Chu could see what Tu Lin saw: 【Put them into the hovercar first, the one I gave you, and then have Mu Xue remove their battle armor and check for injuries. Treat them immediately. 】
【Okay, I’ll do it now. 】
Tu Lin was a bit nervous by himself. This task was supposed to be done with Tu You, but Tu You had followed Lu Min Feng, leaving him alone.
Upon realizing he was alone, Sang Chu curiously asked: 【Where is Tu You? Why isn’t he with you? 】
【He saw Lu Min Feng just now and followed him. 】
Sang Chu was dumbfounded: 【He can see Lu Min Feng? Can you see him too? 】
【Yes, I can see him, and I can see Zhao Qian, but Zhao Qian can’t see us. 】
Sang Chu: 【Do you know what they are? Oh, and those things floating in the air? 】
Tu Lin: 【They should be some kind of consciousness. They devour each other and eventually become beings like Zhao Xiao, able to survive by possessing any skin. In a sense, they are similar to ghosts or specters. However, they themselves have no power, which is probably why Shi Feng’s summoned spirit cannot kill them. 】
Tu Lin’s voice was mature and steady, and he spoke very logically.
Sang Chu looked at Zhao Xiao, who was walking in front of them, and asked: 【Are supernatural abilities tied to this consciousness? 】
After Tu Lin put Zhao Shijun and the others into the hovercar, he replied: 【They should be, otherwise Zhao Xiao wouldn’t be able to use supernatural abilities. It’s just strange, logically, consciousness entities shouldn’t be able to use supernatural abilities. 】
Sang Chu: 【Have you seen them before? 】
Tu Lin: 【No, but I followed Fang Che to the Cultivation World and saw ghost cultivators. Most of them cultivate from consciousness entities. However, the apocalypse shouldn’t have such a large supply of spiritual power, and Hai Cheng is completely sealed off, preventing the Blood Moon’s power from entering. Therefore, so far, only Zhao Xiao should have the ability to attack people. 】
Hearing Tu Lin mention this, Sang Chu thought of Old An. When they met Old An, he was trying to plunder Xia Ru’s supernatural ability, but Xia Ru ended up plundering him back.
Sang Chu: 【But Old An was trying to plunder Xia Ru before? There shouldn’t be only Zhao Xiao, otherwise, if people were really going missing from the hospital, no one would have noticed. 】
Tu Lin was about to go find Lin Mu Xue when he heard Sang Chu’s words and paused. Then he said: 【Master, is it possible that Old An is not a consciousness entity? As far as I know, it’s very difficult for consciousness entities to cultivate. They are ignorant and unaware. Most of them are like the empty vessels in the corridor that have form but no energy. They are not capable of attacking people or controlling them as you said. 】
Sang Chu glanced at Zhao Xiao subtly and sent a telepathic message to Shi Feng and Lin Shao Qing: 【When you were examining Xia Ru, did you find anything unusual? 】
The two who were walking looked at each other. Shi Feng shook his head: 【We only found a strange power within him. We didn’t find anything else. 】
Lin Shao Qing: 【What are you suspecting? We can do a detailed examination after we leave. 】
Sang Chu: 【I suspect both of you have been affected, which is why you didn’t notice people going missing from the hospital. There’s no rush for the examination, just be careful. 】
Sang Chu didn’t hide her words from Tu Lin, so Tu Lin could also hear their telepathic communication: 【Master, I know there’s a type of scroll in the Cultivation World that can record images. Once contracted, only the holder can use it. If you’re worried, I can go buy one for you and place it in the hospital. Anywhere the scroll covers can be monitored comprehensively, and nothing will escape your eyes. 】
Only Tu Lin and Sang Chu could hear their conversation; others could not. Sang Chu felt this might be feasible.
【Alright, then help me buy one. 】
【Okay, I’ll go now. 】
After Tu Lin handed Zhao Shijun and the other person to Lin Mu Xue, he flew towards the train. Sang Chu also placed a lot of Spirit Stone Jade on him for daily cultivation, and also in case he needed to go to the Time-Space Mall to buy things, he could use it directly without going through Sang Chu.
