Chapter 067 Marcia

Next to the large bed surrounded by gauze is a single bed. The green floral quilt is fresh and elegant, with Hilda's name sewn on it.

The mother and daughter must have lived here together, as the room was full of traces of Hilda's life.

"Hello, I'm Jiang Zhan." Ji Weihang lifted the curtain and greeted the thin woman on the bed. He swept his eyes over the woman's body, examining her health.

The woman on the bed was too thin. Her cheekbones, collarbones, and hand bones were clearly visible. There was only a thin layer of skin covering the bones, not much flesh. Her voice was hoarse and dry, like a leaky sandbag. "Hello, I'm Marcia."

"Your daughter asked me to help you treat your illness, but I can't promise that I can definitely cure it. I can only try my best." Ji Weihang said realistically.

Marcia didn't show any disappointment, but nodded calmly, "Thank you for your help."

Ji Weihang felt her pulse and cautiously tried to let his spiritual power enter her body.

Marcia groaned, frowned, and cold sweat instantly flowed down her forehead.

Ji Weihang knew what was going on after just one try. He withdrew his spiritual power and said simply, "I can cure it, but it will be very painful. Just prepare some things and we can start."

Marcia gave a weak smile, "As long as it can be cured."

Ji Weihang opened the door and asked Hilda to prepare a bathtub filled with warm water, a basin, clean towels and a change of clothes.

This means that there is a cure. Hilda was very happy and didn't care that she was being ordered around. She quickly went to the bathroom to run the water and prepare other things. Su Yunling followed behind the little girl to help.

Ji Weihang always felt that Su Yunling was a little different, but she didn't have time to care about it at the moment. She returned to Marcia and said, "You have a good child."

Marcia smiled and said, "It's my blessing."

After everything was ready, Ji Weihang gently picked up Marcia, went into the bathroom, and put her in the bathtub filled with warm water.

After driving Hilda and Su Yunling out and closing the door, Ji Weihang asked Marcia to bite the towel and put his hand on Marcia's wrist. "It will hurt. If you can't bear it, spit out the towel and tell me."

Marcia nodded slowly, biting the towel.

The spiritual power penetrated into the two people's intersecting wrists, impacting the blocked meridians, slowly peeling away the dirt blocking the veins, and the meridians were stimulated. Marcia was sweating profusely and bit the towel in her mouth tightly, but a muffled groan still escaped from her throat.

Hearing the noise in the bathroom, Hilda paced anxiously outside the bathroom, feeling both anxious and hopeful.

Marcia felt as if there was a fire burning inside her body, and a cold stinging sensation spreading. Her body slid down weakly, and an invisible headrest supported her head to prevent her from choking on the water.

She glanced at the woman beside the bathtub with misty eyes, then looked up at the ceiling, counting the patterns on the wallpaper to distract herself.

Marcia was distracting herself, but Ji Weihang had to concentrate. She carefully controlled her spiritual power to open up the meridians that had been blocked for a long time, trying to be as gentle as possible to reduce the pain.

This is the entry of turbid air into the body. It is a very common phenomenon in Jijiang Continent. Generally, if you stay in the demon world for too long and accumulate too much demonic energy or enter an environment with too high a concentration of turbid air, this phenomenon may occur.

——At first, you will feel weak and have a poor appetite, then you will feel powerless all over and unable to take in too many elements. Eventually, you will die due to insufficient elements to support body activities.

However, in Ji Jiang Continent, this is not a big deal and can be solved at the beginning with a Qingmai Pill or a Qingmai Talisman.

Here, it is clear that this is a difficult disease that the "doctors" cannot cure. This is not a "disease" that originates from a physical cause.

curse.

Ji Weihang could sense from these foul air that they were clearly being driven by someone.

They are tightly attached to the meridians, not only blocking them, but also almost merging with them. Under the impact of spiritual power, the parts that block the meridians reluctantly leave, but there is still a small amount of turbid air that has merged too deeply with the meridians remaining.

Ignoring the rest for the moment, she lowered her eyes and concentrated on draining most of the meridians.

After the excruciating pain lasted for about half an hour, Marcia's stomach began to gurgle and her throat began to itch. She spat out the towel and coughed uncontrollably. A mass of black stuff came out of her mouth, flew onto the wall and slid down, leaving a sticky trail.

Marcia didn't bother to look at what it was. The discomfort in her throat didn't ease, but became worse. She coughed heartbreakingly, and this time she was prepared, catching a bunch of black, semi-solidified objects she coughed out.

Ji Weihang handed over a basin with a thin layer of water at the right time. A large number of black objects fell into the water and solidified immediately.

Afterwards, Marcia stopped vomiting out the black object, but only black turbid liquid flowed out of her seven orifices.

This picture looks a bit bad and scary.

But her face gradually turned rosy, and her confused mind gradually became clear.

"How does it feel?" Ji Weihang asked.

Marcia wiped the dirt off her face and felt her eyes looked much better. She replied, "Much better."

Her throat felt more relaxed than ever before. Although her voice was still a little hoarse, it was no longer dry and was in much better condition than before.

After a while, when her body had adapted, Ji Weihang drew a meridian-clearing talisman and stuck it on her forehead. Spiritual power swept through her body, pouring into it. The remaining turbid air was dispersed, and turbid gray-black liquid slowly seeped out through the pores of her body. It did not dissipate when it flowed into the water, but instead floated on the surface of the water.

The effect of this tank of water was obvious. Marcia sank into the water, wiped off the dirt on her head and face, revealing a pair of eyes and nose. She spit out bubbles slowly, waiting for the dirt in her body to seep out completely.

Ji Weihang glanced at the basin of solidified black matter and said, "I can help you reverse curse the person who cursed you. Do you need it?"

Of course she needed to. She wanted to kill him every day and night she lay in bed. Marcia's affection and gratitude for her went even further. "Then I'll trouble you."

Ji Weihang used his spiritual power to draw a talisman and stuck it on the solidified black object. Flames suddenly ignited and burned it up in an instant.

Central China, 1 a.m., Federal Government Building

The government building at midnight was not as lively as it was during the day, and the lights were dim. Only the top few floors were lit.

The two male security guards guarding the entrance of the building stood straight in the night wind. They had heard that someone was coming and did not dare to relax at all.

There was a flash of light on the ground, and a tall, gloomy and pale young man in a suit appeared at the entrance of the building. His eyes were full of obvious arrogance and contempt as he coldly swept over the security guard who was standing upright and doing his duty.

Seeing that there was nothing to be assailed, he strode into the building. As soon as he passed through the door, he seemed to be attacked by something unknown, his legs and feet went limp, and he knelt on the clean and shiny ground with a thud, then fell back and knelt on the ground.

"Huh? Why do you have to give me such a gift?" A familiar female voice sounded with a smile that annoyed him.

The young man just felt weak all over and couldn't get up at all.

Apparently someone had attacked him.

The first person he suspected was the "superhuman" who happened to appear here. He looked up at the red-haired young man standing at the elevator entrance and shouted angrily: "Did you -" Before the word "did it" came out of his mouth, he covered his throat in panic.

How come my voice has become so dry and hoarse, like breaking wind? !

"Oh, this is retribution." The red-haired, red-eyed woman in black looked at the young man kneeling on the ground with an undisguised smile, and said curiously, "You really can't stand up?"

The young man looked confused and puzzled, and for a moment he ignored her existence. It was as if... it was as if his own curse had bounced back at him!

"It's really retribution." The black-clad woman came over, stretched out her hand, and said with a smile, "Come, for the sake of our colleagues, I'll help you up."

“Get lost!”

Under normal circumstances, the young man would not let her touch him, but he was so weak that he could not stop the hand. The woman in black grabbed his shoulders and said with a smile: "I am an intruder, but I am also your colleague. Don't be so wary of me."

Her voice seemed to have magical power. The young man's eyes froze for a moment, but soon he relaxed. She moved her fingers slightly and quietly rolled away a strand of his hair. Then she stood up and said to the male security guard, "Why don't you call an ambulance to take him away? Do you want me to carry him?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Ji." The male security guard hurried over and carefully supported the young man while calling the emergency number.

Ms. Ji took out her phone and said to the other side: "Xing Zhou has a problem, let's find a replacement."

——

After completing the curse rebound, Ji Weihang confirmed that Marcia was in good physical condition before getting up and opening the bathroom door.

Hilda, who had been fidgeting at the door, suddenly stuck her head in.

Marcia, who was soaking in the water, said to her, "I'll be out soon after taking a shower, baby, can you wait for me?"

Hearing Marcia's full-strength voice, Hilda's eyes suddenly turned red, and she nodded, holding back her tears.

Ji Weihang walked out and closed the door. Before he could say anything, Hilda hugged him, "Wow, thank you, Sister Jiang!"

This is my elder sister, Su Yunling muttered to herself.

It had been a long time since he had had close contact with a little girl. Ji Weihang didn't know what to do with his hands. He touched the girl's head hesitantly and said slowly, "You're welcome."

“…Please don’t rub your tears and snot on me.”

When Marcia came out after changing her clothes, she looked brand new.

Although her frail body would not instantly become strong because of the disappearance of the curse, the change in her spirit was obvious. Marcia's face became ruddy, her eyes sparkled, and she quickly caught Hilda who had rushed over.

Hilda burst into tears. Marcia looked at them apologetically.

They consciously gave space to the mother and daughter and went downstairs to meet the others.

——In order to repay Ji Weihang, Hilda had asked Bubble Gum to bring in the people waiting outside. They had tea and snacks on the first floor.

The two shared the known superhuman intelligence with their companions. Everyone seemed to be thinking about something, but because of the presence of Bubble Gum, they did not voice their guesses.

Realizing that they were not going to talk about anything important, Bubble Gum, who was sitting on the sofa blowing bubbles, asked Ji Weihang: "Did you really cure Sister Marcia?"

After getting a positive answer, she looked strange.

"Why, you don't like her and don't want her to recover?" Fu Xuan asked. During the time they were waiting outside the house, they had nothing to do, so they chatted for a while and became familiar with each other.

"Of course not." Bubble Gum denied, "How could I not like Sister Marcia? It's just that she really hates Ling Si, the leader of the Dawn Army. It might affect our negotiations with the Dawn Army." She muttered, "I am more inclined to cooperate. We can't win in a fight, so there's no need to die."

"Then they still let you be responsible for picking us up?" Fu Xuan asked, "Aren't they afraid that you might do something?"

"How could I possibly do such a thing?" Bubblegum glared at her, "And do you think it's common to be able to teleport so many people such a long distance at once?" Sitting up straight, "I'm very powerful."

Fu Xuan apologized with a smile.

"The members of your organization are all very capable, right?" Ji Weihang interrupted, "I heard that you value quality when recruiting people, and you don't hire just anyone."

Bubble Gum hummed, and said: "Actually, I don't really like this point. Everyone is useful. Wouldn't it be nice to recruit some people to be peripheral members? You see, now we have to go to war with others, but we don't have enough manpower and we are restricted." There was some complaint in his tone.

"If Marcia does not agree to cooperate with the Dawn Army, will she recruit new people?" Ji Weihang asked.

Bubble Gum thought for a moment and said, "Recruiting new people... is not impossible. We have a talent pool and can directly select some qualified people from it."

Ji Weihang said: "Will this cause conflicts among you? After all, this is the rule set by the previous leader."

Bubble Gum has been completely immersed in the situation. "Conflict... I don't think so. Sister Victoria has said that she will hand over all power to Sister Marcia. Even if she comes back, she probably won't have any objection to Sister Marcia's decision."

Fu Xuan could already tell what Ji Weihang wanted to know, and asked curiously, "Come back? Where did she go? Did she go to another organization?"

"How is that possible?" Bubble Gum retorted subconsciously, "She just went to..."

"Bubblegum." A voice interrupted Bubblegum, "Are you overjoyed?"

Marcia led Hilda down the stairs.

After realizing that he was being tricked, Bubble Gum glared at Fu Xuan, stood up and ran to Marcia, looking around her happily, "Sister, you're much better, that's great!"

Then he bent down and took out a piece of chewing gum and handed it to Hilda, who was standing beside him with red eyes, and said with a smile, "Little boss, stop crying and have a candy."

Fu Xuan noticed that the chewing gum she took out seemed to be different from the one she ate herself. The bubble gum she ate herself was in a red package, while the one she gave to Hilda was in a green package.

Two flavors? Or is there another reason?

Hilda took the gum with her left hand that was not holding her mother's and glared at her. "I'm not crying." She snorted in a condescending manner, "You are so disrespectful."

Marcia withdrew her gaze from watching the interaction between the two, still smiling as she looked at Ji Weihang: "I've heard from Hilda that she promised you that if you cured me, she would cooperate with the Dawn Army. You've done me a favor, and I won't go back on my word, but I have one condition."

Ji Weihang: "Please speak."

Marcia: "I want the Dawn Army to capture East Continent first, and then discuss dividing South Continent."

Ji Weihang took out the phone Ling Si gave him: "Wait a moment, I'll ask."

This matter was not her business, and there was no need for her to overstep her authority and help Ling Si reject it. Ji Weihang sent a message to the people in the Liming Army in the address book.

The other party quickly replied: "The elder sister said it was no problem, and said hello to Ms. Marcia who has recovered."

Both parties got what they wanted, but both had things to do, so they said goodbye.

Marcia did not try to keep Ji Weihang and invited her to "change jobs", but was rejected. She had no choice but to let Bubble Gum send them back.

Upon receiving the order, Bubblegum was the first to go out, walking quickly into the heat outside and towards the door standing in the desert.

“It’s really exhausting.”

She opened a red chewing gum and put it in her mouth, saying with some complaint.
