Chapter 239 The Healer of All Things "The Healer?" Lily...
"A healer?" Lilith's pupils dilated, and she looked at Sang Zhitao with a surprised expression. "You mean she's a healer?"
“You’ll know once you try.” As paused and continued, “Legend has it that healers don’t have strong emotions, but they have a deep love for others.”
"How can there be no emotions if there is love?" Lilith was increasingly puzzled.
Shana, standing nearby, spoke up to explain for As: "No, the love of the healers is different from ours. Their love is broader, whether it is for humans or animals and plants."
Lilith rubbed her chin: "Even if she is a healer, she might not necessarily be a test subject for the Divine Child Project, right?"
As countered, "It's different. The healers in the Divine Child Project are completely different from ordinary healers."
Lilith has never met a healer from the Divine Child Project, but she has met ordinary healers.
There are two types of ordinary healers. One type is the ability user with compassionate emotions, who is called the "angel of mercy". Their ability is to summon a healing aura that can heal human external injuries as well as simple internal injuries.
Another type is the healer with great love, as Shana mentioned. They possess the emotion of loving all things and are called "angels of light." They also summon healing auras, but they can heal most internal injuries, while they are not as effective as the angels of mercy when it comes to external injuries.
Unlike the Angel of Mercy, the Angel of Light can heal sick or injured mutant plants.
"What about the healer of the Divine Child Project?" Lilith looked at Sang Zhitao curiously, as if trying to discern the strange power she possessed from her frail body.
Sang Zhitao also looked at Yass with curiosity. She really only had a superficial understanding of the current state of superpowers in this world. She didn't expect that it had developed into such a detailed system based on the original book.
"They are called the All-Knowing Ones, capable of group healing; they can heal everything in the world, even..."
"Even... what?" Seeing that he stopped halfway through his sentence, Lily couldn't help but ask.
Shana suddenly spoke up, continuing Yas's words: "Legend has it that those who are the embodiment of all things can extend human lifespan and even bring the dead back to life."
A miraculous recovery!
The appearance of these four words was far more unbelievable to Lillian than the previous "extend lifespan"; she unconsciously repeated these four words over and over again.
Sang Zhitao took a sip of the slightly cold water in her hand.
"So how do you plan to try?" Sang Zhitao looked at Yass curiously.
Yass lowered his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and left.
Sang Zhitao was taken aback by his actions and subconsciously looked at Shana, who was trying to be nice. Shana, however, looked solemnly toward the doorway.
As if she had just thought of something, Lillian also looked over.
The room fell silent for a moment.
The sound of dripping water reached Sang Zhitao's ears at that moment.
She couldn't help but look up in the direction from which the sound came.
Deeper into the pipe, at the joint secured by huge screws, rusty water dripped drop by drop from the rusty, mottled surface.
The water droplet landed on a blue bucket that looked familiar to her.
Sang Zhitao looked at the blue bucket, then stiffly turned to another blue bucket next to the door.
Her memory had always been good, so she was convinced that the water in her hand was the very water that Lillian had just boiled in that blue bucket.
Silently staring at the water glass in her hand, which was now almost empty, Sang Zhitao swallowed hard, unsure whether to pretend not to know or to spit it out.
The sound of footsteps approached from afar, interrupting Sang Zhitao's hesitation.
Shana and Lillian rushed forward to help.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Sang Zhitao pretended to have finished drinking and placed the water glass on the bedside table.
After she put down her water glass and climbed back to where she had been sitting, she noticed that Yass was carrying a thin, frail girl as they walked in.
The girl looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old. Her skin was pale and sickly. Her eyes were closed, and her long, seaweed-like hair draped over As's arm and hung down to the ground.
"Who is she?" Sang Zhitao asked curiously.
Yass looked at the girl with a sad expression: "My sister."
"Isn't it said that only people over fifteen years old can be released from the Spiral Tower? She shouldn't be fifteen years old, right?" Sang Zhitao asked doubtfully.
Yass scoffed, "Aren't you the special one?"
Seeing him like this, Shana couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder.
Sang Zhitao also fell silent for a moment and did not say anything more.
“I’ve been searching for the legendary All-Knowing One.” This time, Yas didn’t wait for Sang Zhitao to ask any more questions and explained directly, “I’ve taken her to see many healers, but none of them have a solution.”
"They told me that only the legendary Being who can bring the dead back to life could save her."
“I’ve been searching ever since I left the Spiral Tower at the age of fifteen, and it’s been four years now.”
“If you are the One of All Things, then you can surely heal her.” As looked at Sang Zhitao with pleading eyes.
Sang Zhitao could tell from his eyes that he wasn't so convinced that she was the One of All Things.
For that one in ten million chance of curing his sister, he was willing to believe that Sang Zhitao was the one called the One of All Things in the Divine Child Project, the one who could bring the dead back to life.
Sang Zhitao couldn't resist such a desperate look in her eyes, as if she were grasping at the only straw.
She sighed deeply: "I haven't tried. I've never healed anyone. Maybe Lillian's guess is right. I'm nothing. Even my memories are what my grandmother told me. Maybe she was crazy. She..."
Her assumption vanished in Yas's eyes.
Sang Zhitao opened her mouth, but ultimately didn't bring up those possibilities or ifs again.
"This is troublesome." As stepped aside and carefully placed his younger sister on the bed. "Her name is Ruyue, which was given to her by my mother."
“My mother… was an Easterner, and she once lived in a very powerful country.”
Upon hearing this authentic Eastern country name, Sang Zhitao's heart stirred, and she couldn't help but ask, "What about your mother's home country?"
Yass paused for a moment before saying, "Three hundred years ago, the Day of Heartbreak appeared, and that Eastern country disappeared from the world's sight."
disappear……
Sang Zhitao's heart skipped a beat, and she asked urgently, "What do you mean? They...are dead?"
Yas shook his head: "I don't know. My mother told me that the continent where that country is located is now just an ocean, as if the country had never existed. Many countries went to explore it, but found that it was inaccessible and untouchable, like an invisible wall blocking everything."
“My mother said that it was their God protecting his people, and people like my mother who were in a foreign land for some reason were left behind.”
"I see..." Sang Zhitao breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from what Yas said, that place should be protected by an array.
Yass sighed, not continuing the topic, and instead looked at his sister on the bed, asking, "How is she? Can she be treated?"
Sang Zhitao turned her gaze to the girl on the bed.
The girl looked even thinner as she lay on the 1.5-meter-wide single bed, her long black hair making her face appear even paler.
The three of them watched Sang Zhitao in silence.
Sang Zhitao turned her attention to her body. She subconsciously wanted to use the jade pendant to solve everything, but the failed summoning made her realize that the jade pendant would no longer be her help in this world.
For a moment, she felt as if she had returned to the first world, feeling vulnerable and powerless.
But there was no one left in this world who would protect her.
Her thoughts seemed to have wandered a bit too far. She suddenly snapped back to reality, but her hand unconsciously went to the girl.
Just as she was filled with doubt, an indescribable emotion filled her heart, her eyes welled up with tears, and then a tear slid down her cheek.
Tears fell onto the bed, staining the gray sheets with a dark gray dot.
As the tear fell from Sang Zhitao's hand, a bright green light appeared.
The light bathed the girl, completely engulfing her in green light.
"This..." Lillian had never seen such a scene before, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, but then subconsciously covered her mouth.
Shana was just as excited as Lillian, but she suppressed it and simply held tightly to Yas's arm.
Needless to say, Yas stared at the person on the bed with reddened eyes, the sorrow that had once been like an empty heart, with nowhere to be released, welled up in his heart at this moment.
"She can do it!" A tear of excitement rolled down Shana's cheek as she tugged at Laas's arm and whispered, unable to contain herself.
"Hmm..." After a long while, As seemed to realize what was happening and responded softly.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also seemed to have passed very quickly.
The sound of dripping water lingered in everyone's hearts, like a timer striking each person's soul.
Sang Zhitao, however, seemed not to have heard anything. She simply watched as the green light in her hand enveloped the girl, while her mind wandered elsewhere.
“This green light looks so familiar…” Sang Zhitao sighed inwardly, “It’s so similar to the color of my jade pendant, so green it’s unsettling.”
A soft moan rang out from the green light.
"Ruyue!" As excitedly stepped forward.
"Don't get excited!" But Shana stopped him again, pulling him back.
“Ruyue…” As took a few deep breaths before he came to his senses and took two steps back.
That soft moan was like turning on some kind of switch.
A series of soft, almost inaudible calls came from within the green light: "Brother... Brother..."
As took deep breaths, struggling to suppress the excitement in his heart.
Lillian rushed forward excitedly and grabbed his other arm: "Don't panic! Don't panic! With Peach around, Kisaragi will be alright!"
Her words brought Yas back to his senses. He looked down at the ground and then at the two hands gripping his arms.
"I understand, I'm fine," Yass licked his lips and replied softly.
Hearing him say that, Shana and Lillian did not let go, but only loosened their grip slightly.
The green light slowly faded from Ruyue's body until it disappeared completely, and Ruyue opened her eyes.
She turned her head to look at the bedside and found that the person standing there was not her brother, but a four or five-year-old girl. She was stunned for a moment.
Shana and Lillian stopped holding Yas down and instead excitedly stepped forward, approaching Kisaragi: "Kisaragi, you're awake!"
On the contrary, As stood there like a wooden statue, staring blankly at his sister who was being blocked by Shana and Lilith...
