Walked up to Tu Ran and fixed it on her head.

"Close your eyes." Xie Xu lowered his dark blue pupils as he looked at her and spoke indifferently.

Tu Ran did as she was told.

Xie Xu's footsteps faded away, and the sound of a chair moving was heard. Then, the instrument on his head started up, making a "buzzing" sound.

Tu Ran's mind went blank in an instant.

Everything you see is white.

Is this reading her memory?

Not really.

She had previously searched for relevant content using the communicator Xie Xu gave her. During the memory reading process, the person being read would quickly flash through all the images of the specified time, and these images would be transmitted to the connected computer in great detail.

Now she was faced with a vast expanse of white.

It might be a method used by Xie Xu to confuse Ling.

I don’t know how long it took, but Xie Xu’s voice finally came to my ears.

"Okay."

Tu Ran wanted to open her eyes, but she couldn't. Her eyelids were heavy and her consciousness was still trapped in that blank.

She felt Xie Xu helping her take off the reader, his eyes fixed on her face.

"Don't open your eyes so quickly, wait three minutes." Xie Xu said calmly.

Tu Ran felt relieved.

Three minutes later, she opened her eyes on time.

What caught my eye were Xie Xu's deep blue eyes.

"Tomorrow night at 8:30, Meihua Nutrient Solution Abandoned Factory, Luqing City."

Tu Ran propped up her arms and sat up, "Luqing City? You want to..."

"right."

He wants to get rid of Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan's special abilities are a threat to everyone.

"You should think about it carefully in three days."

Tu Ran remained silent.

"Hope to see you there tomorrow."

…

…

After leaving the memory reading room, Tu Ran hurried to the medical department to visit Xi Chunzhi.

Xi Chunzhi lay quietly on the bed, just like he did in the previous few days, with his eyes closed, dark circles under his eyes, pale skin, and thin cheeks.

The instruments beside the bed rang regularly and clearly, indicating that the living being on the bed was still alive.

Tu Ran pulled out a chair and sat down, leaning his elbows on the snow-white single bed, and leaned in to look at her.

What is going on? The medical technology of the Federation is very advanced. Diseases that were considered terminal in the past world are now just minor illnesses like a cold in this world.

Even with such advanced technology, why can't we check what went wrong with Junzhi?

Tu Ran couldn't help but let her thoughts wander and began to consider it from a metaphysical perspective.

Could it be that there was something unclean? Should she ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual?

Tu Ran nodded in her heart. Yes, she had to find out where there was a Taoist priest.

After sitting for about ten minutes, the door of the ward opened.

Tu Ran turned her head and saw a tightly wrapped bed first appearing and being pushed in from outside.

There was another person lying on the bed.

Tu Ran didn't pay attention, but looked at Xie Xinyu who walked in along with the bed.

"What is this for?"

Xie Xinyu was swiping on the electronic screen. Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at her, and said lightly: "The two have the same symptoms. Put them together so that I can observe them."

Same symptoms? Tu Ran stood up immediately. "There are similarities. Will we be able to find the cause soon?" "Don't get excited, don't get excited," Xie Xinyu pressed his hand, signaling her to calm down. "We haven't found it yet. Although their physical signs are exactly the same, both of them fainted when they came out of the threshold. Both of their holographic rings were damaged, and the memory reader couldn't read their memories. We can't see what happened to them in the threshold, so we can't guess the cause."

Tu Ran's previous joy was gone.

There's still no progress.

She sighed in her heart and looked at the bed next to Xi Chunzhi's.

There was a curtain between the two beds, and the nurse was slowly pulling it up.

The moment the rope was pulled shut, Tu Ran saw the pale face on the hospital bed.

The pupils suddenly dilated.

Wheel of Time!

The person who accidentally obtained the "Wheel of Time"! The person whose inner elixir she dug out, injected with a recovery agent, and thrown into the dense forest in the threshold.

He's actually back?! Wait, he has the same symptoms as Xi Chunzhi!? Tu Ran looked at Xi Chunzhi in disbelief.

Could it be that she...

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Xie Xinyu put his hands behind his back, looking like a doctor.

Tu Ran stared at him closely, "Did Xi Chunzhi walk out of the threshold by himself?"

The fact that Xi Chunzhi exhibited these symptoms was most likely due to his inner elixir being dug out.

She wanted to find out whether Xi Chunzhi's inner elixir was dug out while he was inside the threshold or after he came out.

"Yes," Xie Xinyu nodded calmly, "Otherwise, is there anyone who can carry her out?"

"How long did it take her to faint after coming out of the threshold?"

"Hmm..." Xie Xinyu touched his chin and thought carefully, "It seems that she fainted as soon as she came out. Anyway, on the day when the threshold was opened, your pioneer team sent a lot of wounded people, and she was among them at that time."

Tu Ran looked at the bed next to him again, "Did he walk out by himself too?"

"Right." Xie Xinyu looked down at the time. "Let's talk next time. I have an operation to perform."

After saying that, he turned and left. The two young nurses who were in charge of pushing the bed when he came in also followed him out.

Tu Ran and two unconscious patients were the only ones left in the ward.

Tu Ran slowly sat down on the chair, looked at Xi Chunzhi's pale face, pretended to tidy up her hair, and touched the back of her neck with her fingers.

On the smooth back of her neck, near the shoulder, she touched an uneven scar.

Tu Ran's fingers trembled, her heart was in turmoil, but her face showed no sign of it. She slowly withdrew her hand and sat back in the chair without moving.

It seemed like she was just arranging her clothes.

Xi Chunzhi really had an inner elixir.

She is now in a coma because she lost her inner elixir.

Who was it? Tu Ran thought back to the many pioneers she had met.

Except for Zhao Yan, she had not met any pioneer with super powers.

If Xi Chunzhi's inner elixir is dug out, that person will eat it himself. Of course, it is not ruled out that the other party hid it and did not take it, but this possibility is not very high.

After all, it is not easy to get an inner elixir just for its functions. There is no point in hiding it and not eating it.

Zhao Yan...

Tu Ran chewed over the name again and again.

He is the most suspicious.

If it was Zhao Yan, the inner elixir would have been dug out within the threshold.

But if the inner elixir was not inside the threshold but was dug out outside the threshold, he would not be the biggest suspect. He could not make the medical department lie for him and claim that Xi Chunzhi fainted as soon as he walked out of the threshold.

Tu Ran's other suspect is the federal government.

The only people who can get the Ministry of Health to cooperate are some extremely powerful senior officials in the federal government.

Moreover, she couldn't see those senior executives on a daily basis, nor could she see whether they had any special abilities.

It's not impossible.

She stood up suddenly.

She had to look for surveillance footage to determine which ring Xi Chunzhi's inner elixir was dug out from.

Sorry everyone, I'm taking a day off and will make it up tomorrow 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
