She leaped to her feet, drew her dagger, and began attacking the leather sorcerer from above.

Because the leather sorcerer had no physical support, he was even lighter, spinning and leaping in the air like a wireless kite, repeatedly trying to attack Li Zhiyi. The human skin hands on the leather sorcerer's body were trying to grab Li Zhiyi.

However, Li Zhiyi dodged each time. The skin magician saw a perfect opportunity to attack Li Zhiyi, but little did he know that it was an opening that Li Zhiyi had deliberately left for him. Just as the skin magician thought it was his hand, he was scratched by Xiaobai's sharp claws from behind, and this time it hit him right on the back of the head.

With a tearing sound, the human skin immediately softened for a moment before becoming firm again. He chanted a spell, and all the wandering ghosts around him ran into his skin. He reached out and grabbed the "people" in the cement pool, swallowing them whole.

Li Zhiyi knew he was going to burn his bridges, so she bit her finger and drew a line in the air, chanting loudly, "All talismans return to their source, go."

Countless talismans appeared before her, surging towards the skin sorcerer and completely covering the intact human skin. The skin sorcerer struggled and screamed in agony, then slowly fell silent.

The talismans, as if stripped of their spirit, burst into flames, along with the human skin. A man's resentful and vicious voice echoed: "I underestimated you... Just wait, my senior brother will avenge me, hahaha..."

Li Zhi fell from the sky and then spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, the ghostly figures around them slowly dissipated, and Xiaobai finished her battle and returned to her side, looking at Li Zhiyi and gently meowing.

Li Zhiyi gently stroked Xiao Bai's fur, but eventually collapsed. In the instant he fell, Xiao Bai's body seemed to grow larger, serving as a cushion for Li Zhiyi.

Xiao Bai stuck out her tongue and licked Li Zhiyi's hand; she was still unconscious. Xiao Bai carried Li Zhiyi away from there, then headed straight for the crossroads where the group had separated. Xiao Bai's prediction was accurate; the group hadn't left yet.

When Gu Siye saw Xiaobai, he was shocked because Xiaobai had become as tall as a person. A rabbit as tall as a person, able to walk upright, and even carry people on its back would seem incredibly strange to anyone.

Chen Zhihe and Fu Yanche were completely stunned. Chen Zhihe pointed at Xiaobai and trembled, "What, what kind of monster is that?"

Fu Yanche replied blankly, "It looks like a human-shaped rabbit..." He felt that the rabbit looked somewhat familiar.

Gu Nianzhi hurriedly opened the car door and got out. She took Li Zhiyi from Xiaobai's back and put her in the car. When she turned around, Xiaobai had disappeared.

Sitting in the car, Chen Zhihe asked, his body tense, "President Gu, where are we going now?"

"To the hospital." The car drove straight into the hospital.

Gu Nianzhi rushed to the hospital after receiving the call. He was shocked to see his sister-in-law unconscious: "Brother, what happened to sister-in-law? How did she get so badly injured?"

"I don't know, I saw that she had an injury on her back." He only noticed that her dress was soaked in blood when he carried her out of the car.

Gu Nianzhi carefully used scissors to cut away the glued-on dress from Li Zhiyi's back, revealing the festering wound underneath. At this moment, the doctor arrived and conducted a series of examinations on Li Zhiyi.

"This young lady has a festering wound on her back, which caused a bacterial infection and led to her persistent high fever. I haven't been able to find anything else wrong with her. We're giving her an IV drip of anti-inflammatory medication now, and a nurse will come to treat her wound in a little while."

"Okay, thank you, doctor."

The doctor nodded and left. Several people stayed in the ward to watch over Li Zhiyi as he woke up. Just then, Gu Siye's phone rang. He saw that it was his grandfather calling, so he went to the hospital corridor to answer the call.

"Grandpa, Li Zhiyi is asleep. Hmm, it's okay. I'll have her call you back tomorrow. You should get some rest. Goodnight, Grandpa."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Siye went to the smoking area, took a few puffs of his cigarette in frustration, stubbed it out, and then returned to the ward.

Fu Yanche couldn't help but ask with concern, "Si Ye, is Miss Li in any danger?"

"Don't talk nonsense. My sister-in-law is a lucky person and will be fine."

Despite saying that, everyone was still upset. Gu Siye couldn't understand how she could have suffered such serious injuries in just a short time. Who hurt her? Her magic was quite powerful, so who was the person who hurt her? Or rather, was it even human?

Two days and two nights have passed, and she still shows no signs of waking up. Every day when the doctor makes rounds, he says the same few things: that she is not in any immediate danger, but he can't find anything else.

Gu Siye became increasingly irritable, even thinking that he should have returned to China for treatment, as the medical standards here were too poor! He was hesitating whether to return to China now.

"Mr. Gu, please come with me for a moment."

Gu Siye looked at Chen Zhihe and asked, "What do you want to say?"

“Mr. Gu, I think Miss Li’s injury is not normal. I’m afraid she has provoked something she shouldn’t have.”

"Explain what you mean clearly."

“I’ve been in Thailand for so many years, and I think Miss Li seems to have offended a sorcerer and been cursed. I can find some friends who know about this; should we ask them to come and take a look at Miss Li?”

Seeing that Li Zhiyi had been unconscious for two days and two nights, Gu Siye was at a loss for what to do. In the end, he could only nod in agreement: "Make the call now."

About an hour later, a man dressed in a monk's robe came into the ward. When he approached Li Zhiyi, no one saw Li Zhiyi's fingers move.

Looking at the monk's greedy eyes, Gu Siye felt for some reason that this person was not a good person, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about him.

"Master, you've arrived! Please come quickly and see what's wrong with this young lady?"

"Don't be anxious, benefactor. Let me examine you and I will have the results." The monk stood beside Li Zhiyi with an air of seriousness, half-squatting down to place his hand on Li Zhiyi's wrist to take his pulse.

The moment he touched Li Zhiyi's wrist, he suddenly stood up straight, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, clearly flustered!

In an instant, he regained his calm demeanor, glanced at the group, and sighed before saying, "This young lady has been poisoned by corpse poison. To cure her, we need to perform a ritual. What do you all think?"
