Chapter 55
"This is ridiculous." The director of the internal medicine department at the military hospital couldn't help but scold when he heard the nurse's report. "It was fine when the military wife invited monks and Taoist priests before. After all, those were from legitimate temples and Taoist temples. But this time, they invited some folk masters? They're basically scammers. Why didn't anyone say anything?"
The director of internal medicine put down his work and immediately stood up and walked towards the intensive care unit. The young nurse trotted behind her and said, "But the director has already gone in."
"You too, how can you let anyone in without my consent?" The director of internal medicine understood the feelings of the patients' families who were at the end of their lives and absolutely did not approve of their behavior. It would only lead to the loss of both life and money, and would cause even greater pain.
The young nurse curled her lips and didn't say anything. Who wouldn't stop him if they could? But he was so handsome, so he could be a movie star instead of a liar. What's more, she felt that he couldn't be a liar. How could he commit fraud with a child?
In the intensive care unit, Liu Ze saw the person in the photo. Every drop of all the equipment in the ward was sustaining this person's life.
The person on the bed had sunken eye sockets, high cheekbones, and the skin on his mouth was like that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man. Apart from his relatively strong bones, it was impossible to imagine that he was a young man. The person on the bed was completely unable to move, with only his eyeballs half-closed and half-open, and he turned and looked at them.
It looked a bit scary. Liu Ze turned his head to look at Liu Jiayu who was in Yan Shiliu's arms: "Are you scared?"
"Don't be afraid. Hasn't he eaten for a long time? That's why he has become so thin, thinner than Jiayu." Liu Jiayu hadn't eaten a full meal for a few days, so he was still skinny. His chin was as sharp as a cone, his eyes looked particularly big, and his hair was a little dry and rough. He believed that if he didn't eat, he would become thinner and then starve to death. So he was not afraid of seeing such a thin person, but he felt more sympathetic to him because he had food to eat and he didn't.
"I don't know. Let Dad see if he won't eat well or if he has nothing to eat."
The Jun family did not expect that Mr. Liu and Mr. Yan would bring the child. The adults were scared when they saw what their son looked like now. They let such a young child see it with their own eyes without any hesitation. They did not dare to say anything or ask.
"Mr. Liu, how is my son?" The old lady was anxious. It was not nice to interrupt others, but when she came in and saw her son, she didn't have a single word to say. How could she not be anxious?
"Then please draw the curtains in the ward and turn off the lights. Make it dark so I can see clearly."
Everyone in the room was full of questions. Shouldn't it be brighter to see clearly? Why do they have to draw the curtains and turn off the lights to see clearly?
Looking at the person standing in front of the bed and looking at them with a smile, he would not take the next step if he did not do what he asked.
Although the old lady was confused, she did not ask why she did as he asked. This was her son's life-saving straw. She ordered her daughter and son-in-law in the ward: "Hurry up and draw the curtains." She turned around and closed the door of the intensive care unit, and pressed the button next to the door to turn off the lights.
The curtains were quickly drawn. The curtains here were completely blackout. As they were drawn, the ward fell into darkness, except for the flashing lights on the instruments.
Then a ball of purple light appeared. In the darkness, a lantern slowly emitted purple light. The light was like smoke and there were many stars. A slender hand was holding the lantern, and the person closest to the light was also shown.
Liu Ze held a lantern in one hand, and put the index and middle fingers of the other hand together in front of his chest. His eyes were slightly closed and his lips were moving. His voice was so soft that no one could hear what he was saying.
As his eyes opened, the eyes that had originally looked black appeared purple in this beautiful hazy light.
He held a lantern in his hand and placed it in front of the face of the bed. The purple light from the lantern shone on the withered face. The man's eyes moved again and his mouth trembled.
The lantern moved down, slowly shining over his neck, chest, lungs, and heart.
No one in the ward dared to breathe. No one had ever seen such a scene before. Even today's special effects movies don't have such a thing.
Under the purple lantern light, the man's skin appeared pale, and it felt as if the not-so-bright purple light illuminated the man.
If you look more closely, you can see that the pale man's body is covered with densely packed black holes. They are so small that you might think they are shadows of sweat hairs cast by dim light.
"Dad, there's a wire."
"Jia Yu is so amazing." Liu Ze praised and continued to move the soul lamp in his hand. Liu Jia Yu received praise and a pat on the head from Yan Shiliu.
The Jun family opened their eyes wide, carefully looking for the light, but they didn't see the line the child was talking about. In the light of the lantern, the eldest son of the Jun family was almost swallowed by the quilt. He was so thin, like a candle flame that could go out at any time.
There is a rumor in every era that children's eyes are clear and can see all kinds of things. Jiayu can see it because he has strong inspiration. Before his eye ability disappears, if he is consciously trained in this aspect, his ability can be preserved well.
Liu Ze believes that having abilities is always a good thing, no matter what they are. He says that what is unknown cannot be seen; this is the greatest protection. It's better to be prepared for the worst than the worst. Things that can break this rule can't be avoided simply by not knowing about them. The best way is to be able to withstand a thousand.
The lamp in Liu Ze's hand stopped at the man's chest and abdomen. Under the illumination of the soul lamp, a white line slowly rose from the man's body like smoke, swaying for more than half a meter long, and disappeared into the other void.
Liu Jiayu shook the soul lamp to disperse the floating white lines. The bottom of the white lines penetrated deeply into the human body, as if they were alive, and kept wriggling in the human body.
"Sir, sir, how is my son? Can he be saved?"
"Where did he get this?"
"What is that?" The old lady tugged at the old man's sleeve. They still didn't see anything. What on earth was that thing in his mouth that could harm his son like this?
They checked everything but couldn't find anything different about the child?
"Well, how should I put it? There are many 'bugs' crawling on his soul body. 'Bugs' is just an adjective. These 'bugs' are sucking energy from him. You should be thankful that he is strong enough. He has absorbed so much of his body's nutrients. If he were a thinner person, he would have died long ago."
"Then...what should we do then?"
Liu Ze grabbed the spider-silk-like threads and said, "Cut the threads first to save your life, and we'll deal with the rest later, Sixteen." When it comes to cutting, Sixteen's sickle is better than his lantern.
