Chapter 187 Expert Consultation
Chapter 187 Expert Consultation
Half an hour later——
Xiao Jie stood outside the door of the emergency room, looking helplessly at the word "Jing" opposite the chair in the corridor.
The development of things was indeed a little beyond expectations. I originally just wanted to find Chen Tianwen to inquire about the Pantheon, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the blink of an eye.
Chen Tianwen was in the process of rescuing someone, and several soldiers in black were still on guard around him, but Captain Lin came over and sat next to him.
"How was your game, Mr. Xiao?" Captain Lin asked for the sake of conversation.
Xiao Jie replied seriously, "I have to say, it's unexpectedly fun."
"It's just fun. I'm glad you're still alive. Most of the players I know don't survive more than a month."
"Haha, I'm not an ordinary player. I won't die even if I play for a month, ten months, or a hundred months. By the way, have you ever thought about playing in the game? With your position, it should be easy to get an activation code. Let me tell you, the abilities you get in the game are amazing."
Captain Lin didn't care. "Haha, I've witnessed the deaths of so many players. Do you think I'd be that stupid?"
Xiao Jie smiled self-deprecatingly. It seemed that people always had different views on things. In his eyes, games were full of dangers, but in his eyes, games were full of opportunities.
"Besides, any abilities you gain in the game can be requisitioned at any time if I need them, so why bother taking risks yourself?"
Xiao Jie was speechless. Why do you have to be so superior when you talk?
He chuckled and said, "That's true, but it seems that not all players believe you. I guess the person who attacked Chen Tianwen must not be under your surveillance, right?"
Captain Lin was choked by these words, and he really had no way to refute them.
"Humph, no matter who did this, we will investigate it thoroughly. Our Game Management Bureau will never allow Old Country players to use superpowers to commit crimes in real life and get away with it. This loophole must not be allowed."
As the two were talking, the door of the emergency room was finally opened and the doctor walked out with a rather strange expression.
"Doctor, how is he?"
"The patient's vital signs are very strange. They are currently maintained at the minimum level of human life activities, a bit like the state of animals hibernating. This is very unreasonable because human physiological functions do not have the ability to hibernate.
The patient has no obvious external or internal injuries. All of his physiological functions are intact, but they are gradually failing. At the current rate, he will completely stop working in twelve hours at most. This is the first time we have encountered such a thing. We can only observe him at present. The patient has not shown any signs of recovery, so we can only monitor him. "
"Is there no way to wake him up? I have something to ask him."
"No, doing so may put your life in danger, and it may not be successful. I suggest you go to the provincial hospital or a higher-level doctor for consultation. The medical resources in this city are still a bit weak."
Captain Lin shook his head. "This kind of thing doesn't require a doctor, but a professional. Xiao Wang, have you found the person?"
That Xiao Wang was the black-clad soldier who had sat next to Xiao Jie before. He had changed into casual clothes at this time. He was a quite young guy who looked like he had just graduated from college, but he was very capable in doing things.
"Someone has been sent to pick him up. He should be here soon."
Xiao Jie was a little curious. Professional? Who was that person?
The answer soon appeared. With a burst of messy footsteps, several people in black windbreakers escorted a man and a woman to the outside of the emergency room.
When Xiao Jie saw the two men, he was speechless.
"An Ran? Why are you here? Hey, is this Master Niu?"
The man next to her was a middle-aged man in his fifties or sixties, full of energy, wearing a white Buddhist robe, with his hair combed straight and shiny. He looked like a "master", and since he came with An Ran, his identity was self-evident.
As expected, the uncle laughed out loud, "Haha, what master or not, just call me Uncle Niu. You are Suifeng, right? You are indeed a handsome man."
Xiao Jie was speechless. Is this what they call a professional?
A qigong master and a sorcerer... But well, Jiangbei City is a small place after all, and there are only a few players. These two can be considered high-end talents after all.
At least it's more useful than those from pure physics departments.
Captain Lin was unusually serious. "You two, I have explained the situation clearly to you. The current situation is a bit dangerous. Although Chen Tianwen's vital signs are stable, he is gradually failing. The doctor said that it will be very dangerous if he continues like this. I have contacted the provincial 'experts', but the distance is too far and the other party's status is relatively high. We still need to coordinate and it will take some time for them to arrive.
I hope you can do your best to protect the patient's vital signs during this period. It would be even better if you can save him."
Master Niu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Captain Lin, we are all players from the same city, so we will naturally help each other. Let me give it a try. My Qi therapy is somewhat effective in unblocking meridians and resolving internal injuries."
"Then please."
Master Niu shook his clothes and walked in with steady steps. Xiao Jie and An Ran looked at each other and followed him in.
He didn't dare get close to the doctor when he was treating him, for fear of affecting the treatment. Now that Master Niu was treating him, he didn't have so many concerns.
Master Niu first checked Chen Tianwen's condition. He didn't know whether he really understood or was pretending to understand. He felt a little embarrassed after reading it.
"To be honest, I'm not a professional doctor, so I don't know how to treat this. But I see that his breathing is weak and his physical signs are not very good. Why don't I transfer some internal energy to him to help him breathe again?"
After saying that, he asked someone to put Chen Tianwen in a cross-legged meditation posture. He sat cross-legged opposite Chen Tianwen, put his hands together with Chen Tianwen, and began to "practice internal energy to heal his injuries."
The posture of using internal energy to heal injuries was exactly the same as the martial arts movies Xiao Jie had seen. He couldn't help laughing as he watched it, but the current situation was very urgent and serious, so he could only suppress the urge to complain and watch Master Niu use his internal energy to save people.
Qigong masters in the game also have this skill, which can add blood to teammates and remove some DEBUFFs such as serious injuries and bleeding.
I just don’t know if it is applicable to Chen Tianwen’s current situation.
As his internal energy circulated, white smoke emerged from Master Niu's head.
It is like a human-shaped stove, emitting strong heat radiation.
Captain Lin looked serious. Xiao Jie and An Ran watched the situation quietly, but the doctor was stunned.
After a while, Master Niu stopped practicing and took a deep breath, then slowly removed his hands from Chen Tianwen's body.
"I transferred some internal energy to him, so he should be able to hold out for a while, An Ran - how about you give it a try too?"
"Me?" An Ran hesitated.
"Yes, many hands make light work. Don't you sorcerers have healing skills?"
"Okay, but let me make it clear first. My magic is a bit weird, so don't scare you. Um, can you please step aside for a moment?"
But he was talking about the doctor.
The doctor waved his hands hastily, "Don't mind me, I'm also interested in this... uh, new concept of treatment."
Xiao Jie thought to himself that it was really hard for you to come up with such a name.
An Ran glanced at Captain Lin, but Captain Lin waved his hand and immediately two men in black windbreakers came up and pushed the doctor out.
An Ran then started to take action.
It was the first time that Xiao Jie saw a sorcerer cast a spell.
But An Ran took out a dagger and cut the palm of his hand. As the blood flowed out, An Ran's eyes suddenly turned a strange blood red, and his pupils instantly became larger, like a cat's pupils.
He was mumbling something, but what he said was not human language. It sounded more like the howl of some wild beast. Even Xiao Jie couldn't understand it.
As An Ran chanted the spell, the blood dripping from his hand turned into a cloud of blood mist. As An Ran waved his hand, the blood mist instantly turned into a mist snake and drilled into Chen Tianwen's seven orifices. His face, which was originally as pale as gold paper, instantly became extremely rosy.
The whole person seemed to be rejuvenated and his breathing became much steadier and stronger.
But he still didn't wake up.
"This should last for a while."
Xiao Jie asked curiously, "Don't you have any way to remove the curse on him?" An Ran shook her head, "My magic can only strengthen his physical blood, but it can't do anything to damage his soul. I suspect he was probably hit by a ghost curse, something like soul-stealing magic, which I can't remove.
You have to find a Taoist priest, a heavenly master, or a magician. If that doesn't work, maybe finding a monk to chant some sutras might help."
Xiao Jie thought it was a pity that the Divine Wood Talisman was an equipment in the game and could not be brought into reality, otherwise he could give it a try.
Speaking of which, isn’t Chen Tianwen the Heavenly Master? Qimen Heavenly Master is also a Heavenly Master. It’s a pity that he is unconscious, otherwise I could ask him how to save the situation.
Although he and Chen Tianwen could not be said to have a very good relationship, they were from the same city after all, and they could take care of each other on a daily basis, so they could be considered friends to some extent. Now seeing that he was in an unknown state of life or death, Xiao Jie couldn't help but feel worried.
Captain Lin sighed and said, "In that case, we can only wait. I hope the experts from the province can come here quickly."
Beep-beep-beep!
The phone suddenly rang. After Captain Lin answered the phone and said a few words, his expression suddenly turned ugly.
"The provincial 'expert' is currently working with others to complete a dungeon. He cannot come over for the time being. It may take some time."
Xiao Jie was stunned, "What should we do then?"
"We can only wait." Captain Lin was also quite helpless.
This wait lasted for several hours, and because the three of them were so-called "professionals", they could only waste time in the hospital.
Before they knew it, it was night. During this time, An Ran and Master Niu took turns to "treat" Chen Tianwen, but Chen Tianwen's vital signs continued to deteriorate uncontrollably.
Even breathing became almost invisible.
As an animal trainer, Xiao Jie had no healing abilities and could only watch from the side. He didn't know if it was because he was too bored, or because of the lighting in the hospital, but Xiao Jie began to feel drowsy. His eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he kept dozing off.
As the sky gradually darkened, Master Niu stood up and said.
"You two, let's not wait around, let's eat something first, right? Xiao Jie, I'm going to get something to eat, do you want me to bring you something?"
"Well, whatever, I..." Xiao Jie was about to answer when a vague voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Xiao Jie... Xiao Jie... come over here..."
The voice seemed extremely far away, and also like a whisper in his ear. He shuddered suddenly and woke up instantly.
Damn, who is pretending to be a ghost?
However, when he looked around, he was suddenly stunned. The corridor was empty. An Ran and Master Niu were nowhere to be seen, and even the two black-clad soldiers who had been guarding the door were gone.
An Ran? He called out, but there was no response. The incandescent lights in the corridor flickered with a cold green light, dim and deep, and extremely creepy.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, without a single human voice, making everything seem so strange.
"Xiao Jie... come here..."
Who? Xiao Jie asked in surprise. This time he finally heard it clearly. The voice seemed to come from the ward.
He pulled out the sword in his arms and walked in the direction of the sound. The lights in the ward were flickering dimly, making most of the ward dark. Chen Tianwen was lying on the bed, motionless and pale.
Xiao Jie was observing his surroundings vigilantly, when suddenly the hairs on his back stood up. He turned around abruptly and saw a huge black shadow that almost covered the entire ward. In the center of the inky black shadow, there was an even darker darkness that formed a distorted face.
This monster has no fixed shape, like a twisted, floating ball of ink, emitting a chilling chill.
Xiao Jie was so frightened that his scalp went numb. He slashed with his sword without hesitation. The blade passed through the shadow without any hindrance. Instead, it made the monster's hair stand on end and it rushed forward violently.
Damn! He hurriedly retreated, but he was completely unable to avoid the speed of the monster. Just as he was about to be swallowed by the shadow, a white flame suddenly flew from behind and hit the black shadow. The monster screamed and burned up instantly like a lit willow catkin.
Only a few wisps of black smoke were left in the air.
Xiao Jie was still in shock. How could there be such a monster in the hospital?
When he turned around, he saw a man in a moon-white robe standing next to the bed, with a white spiritual light shining in his hand. It was obviously him who killed the monster.
Huh? Who is this person?
When Xiao Jie saw the man's appearance clearly, he was shocked - Chen Tianwen?
The person in front of him looked almost exactly like Chen Tian on the bed, except for his clothes.
"Yes, it's me." The man in white sighed, extinguished the magic light in his hand, and looked at himself on the bed with helplessness on his face.
Xiao Jie was a little dumbfounded, "You are..."
"What you see is my soul form. The real me is dying. I need to stay by my body to prevent it from being harmed by the ghosts sent by my enemies. Now only you can save me. Time is urgent so I won't explain too much. - Please do me a favor."
Xiao Jie knew the situation was urgent, and nodded hurriedly, "Tell me, how can we save you?"
"You must go to my house right now. I have hidden a resurrection pill in my study. Only this pill can save my life. In order to prevent my enemies from finding this pill, I hid it in a secret place that can only be opened by a specific method.
When you get there, find a golden bell in the study. Ring it three times to open the secret realm and get the elixir.
Please go and come back quickly, my life depends on you."
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Xiao Jie was about to turn around and leave, but Chen Tianwen hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, you can't get on the road like this, you should wake up first."
wake up?
Xiao Jie was stunned, and the next second Chen Tianwen suddenly walked up to him and pushed him on the back. Xiao Jie felt a strong force coming, and his body suddenly leaned forward. He subconsciously reached out and grabbed the armrest of the chair.
He raised his head suddenly, but there was no trace of Chen Tianwen in front of him.
Looking around again, he was clearly still sitting on the bench in the corridor. The white light above his head was blindingly bright, and An Ran was sleeping soundly next to him, drooling.
Not far away, Niu Baoguo had a questioning look on his face.
The sounds of patients walking around in the hospital and doctors talking to each other all came into my ears at once.
There is a feeling of being separated from another world.
Xiao Jie was shocked, and suddenly realized that he had been told in a dream!
"Brother Xiao, what do you want to eat? I'll bring it for you."
"No, I have to go out."
Having said that, he hurried out.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't leave. Captain Lin didn't say to let you go."
Xiao Jie ignored Master Niu's call.
When I reached the door, I was stopped by someone. It was Xiao Wang.
"Mr. Xiao, where are you going?"
Xiao Jie was too lazy to explain, time was running out: "Let's go to Chen Tianwen's house. I don't know how to drive, so you can take me there. We are here to save people, so hurry up, or else if someone dies, it's your fault."
Xiao Wang suddenly became a little nervous when he was pressed by the big hat.
"Okay, but I have to call Captain Lin."
"Get in the car first and drive while you fight."
