The Beloved Heiress's Dark Side (16)
Zhang Dayong said, "I agree. Putting everything else aside, this red balloon alone is eye-catching enough. What if someone pops it? Wouldn't the brain inside be damaged?"
Others also agreed.
So the group changed direction and headed back to the small building they had seen before.
They borrowed a car from the nearest family and drove straight there.
The family had been rescued by the players and were very willing to lend them the vehicle, saying that the players could use it as long as they didn't need it anymore.
More than half an hour later, everyone returned to the small building they had been in before.
More wounded people arrived at the small building, but they sat or lay down in a relatively orderly manner, and no one caused trouble.
Some healthy people who were in charge of managing the wounded and guarding the zombies were relieved to see the players return.
Fan Siqi asked, "Nothing serious happened just now, right?"
The crowd said, "No, there are just more people."
Fan Siqi nodded and asked, "Do you have any surgeons among you? The kind who specialize in brain surgery?"
However, among all these people, there wasn't a single surgeon.
One member of the crowd asked, "What do you need surgeons for?"
Fan Siqi said, "We found the brains of several zombies, and now we need to reinstall them, so we need a surgeon."
"But I've never heard of a brain being removed and then reinstalled. Even if it were put back, it wouldn't be effective anymore, right?"
"Yes, no one can perform this surgery."
Fan Siqi then asked Professor Pan, "Professor Pan, you are a biology professor, can you put the zombie's brain back?"
Professor Pan said, "I wouldn't dare to do it either... I've done research on small animals before, but I've never operated on a human. Moreover, even when researching small animals, I've never removed their brains completely and reinstalled them."
Fan Siqi said, "It seems I'll have to come by myself."
Jian Tanxi asked, "Fan Siqi, can you perform surgery?"
"Not really, but I used to assist military medics when I was in the army. The military often lacked necessary equipment and tools, so we had to treat the wounded using very simple and crude methods, leaving their fate to chance. I've even helped with brain surgery. Since no one has experience now, I'm the only one who's been forced into this role."
Do you have a very sharp triangular pyramid? Could I borrow it for a moment?
"OK."
Jian Tanxi handed the interstellar triangular pyramid to Fan Siqi.
Fan Siqi did not hesitate and asked Zhang Dayong to help Grandpa Ou up.
Grandpa Ou already had a piece of his skull that had been removed and then sewn back in. Now, Fan Siqi broke the stitches, removed the piece of skull, and put his brain back in.
Then, Fan Siqi adjusted her position slightly and asked Professor Pan, "Professor Pan, do you think the brain is in this position correctly?"
Professor Pan hesitated to look, but he knew the matter was of great importance and this was not the time to be afraid. Therefore, he mustered his courage, examined it carefully, and said, "It seems to be slightly to the right..."
Under Professor Pan's guidance, Fan Siqi rearranged her brain position again.
Then, he coated the skull with super glue and stuck it onto Old Master Ou's head.
Jian Tanxi and the others were dumbfounded. So this was the simple and brutal treatment method that Fan Siqi had mentioned. They had truly seen something new.
An elderly woman who was watching said, "Do you want to sew it up with a needle and thread? I have a needle."
Fan Siqi said, "What kind of needle can pierce the skull? I certainly can't. Let's just stick it on first and see if it works for now."
Now, the onlookers dared not say a word.
Then, Fan Siqi did the same thing, putting the brains of Grandpa Ou, Second Grandpa Ou, and Third Grandpa Ou back in.
However, none of the four people woke up.
However, their appearance has changed.
Originally, the zombie had its head tilted to the side and its body stiff. But since the brain was put back in, the four people's heads were no longer tilted, their bodies were no longer stiff, and their breathing gradually returned to normal.
Their symptoms now resemble those of someone in a coma.
Fan Siqi said, "Don't move them yet, because their brains are not fixed in place by anything. Once their bodies are moved, the position of their brains may change slightly, and then they will never be able to recover."
Everyone understood the seriousness of the situation and expressed their reluctance to move the zombies.
A member of the public asked, "Where are the brains of the five young masters of the Ou family?"
Jian Tanxi said, "We haven't found it yet. You're all from City A, do you know anything about the Ou family? For example, where is the Ou family's most secret location? Where do they usually hide things?"
The people all shook their heads:
"We only know that the Ou family is very rich, but we certainly won't know their secrets."
"Yes, I've never even stepped inside the Ou family's gate."
“I used to deliver flowers and plants to the Ou family, but I could only go in and out of the back garden and couldn’t go to other places.”
Jian Tanxi asked, "Do you know where all the servants from the Ou family have gone?"
"I have no idea……"
"I heard that a few days ago, the Ou family gave all the servants a holiday and sent them abroad for a trip."
Jian Tanxi: "Sent abroad? Not even a single servant was left?"
"It seems not... Not long after those servants left, the young and old men of the Ou family turned into zombies."
Meng Yuening asked, "Has anyone worked for the Ou family before resigning?"
An old lady said, "I used to work for the Ou family, but that was more than ten years ago. We nannies had our own rooms, and the places we could go each day were limited, so we didn't know anything about the Ou family's secrets."
Jian Tanxi suddenly remembered one of her special abilities—two-dimensional grabbing.
Previously, when she was in the Red Strawberry Kingdom, she used this ability to capture the soul of the deceased queen.
If we could see photos of deceased members of the Ou family, perhaps we could use the same method to seek help from their spirits.
The small building was filled with books and newspapers, so Jian Tanxi decided to mobilize the masses.
She said to those present, "The Ou family is so famous, there must be many books or newspapers that have reported on their deeds. Can you help me look around this building to see if there are any books or newspapers with photos of the Ou family, preferably photos of deceased members of the Ou family?"
Whoever finds it will receive a reward.
The crowd was somewhat tempted, but some questioned, "You don't have any gold or silver treasures on you, so you can't give us what we want. The props you have are useless to us."
Jian Tanxi said, "I have no money, but the Ou family has money. If the Ou family can really be saved, we can use the merit of saving them to ask them for gold and silver treasures, and then we can give them to you."
Upon hearing this, the people sprang into action.
Meng Yuening and the others found it strange and asked Jian Tanxi, "Why are you looking for photos of the Ou family?"
Jian Tanxi only said four words: "Two-dimensional crawling".
The players immediately understood and began to help with the search.
After a while, a middle-aged woman said, "I found it. There's a family photo of the Ou family in this newspaper. Ou Bao'er wasn't born yet, and the old lady of the Ou family was still alive."
The middle-aged woman handed the newspaper to Jian Tanxi. Jian Tanxi saw that in this family photo, everyone in the Ou family looked younger than they do now, and the five grandsons all looked like teenagers.
Beside Mr. Ou was a kind old lady, who was the late Mrs. Ou.
Jian Tanxi activated her two-dimensional grabbing ability, attempting to extract the soul of the Ou family's grandmother.
But she caught nothing.
A voice echoed in her mind: "Old Mrs. Ou's soul is no longer here. This capture attempt has failed."
It seems that we need to recruit younger deceased individuals.
Jian Tanxi asked everyone, "Are there any younger members of the Ou family who have passed away?"
One local resident said, "Third Master Ou had a first wife who passed away seven years ago. But not long after, Third Master Ou remarried. His second wife secretly collected many newspapers and magazines with photos of Third Master Ou's deceased wife and destroyed them. So now, it's very difficult to find photos of Third Master Ou's first wife."
Jian Tanxi said, "Then let's keep looking. Thank you all."
This time, everyone searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
Professor Pan said, "Why don't we look on Master Ou and see if he carries any photos of his ex-wife?"
So, Professor Pan, Zhang Dayong, and Fan Siqi all started searching through Master Ou's body.
Although everyone thought it was unlikely to be found, because if Master Ou carried a photo of his ex-wife with him, his second wife would have discovered it long ago and would not have tolerated it until now.
However, the players were unwilling to give up this last glimmer of hope and continued to search diligently.
After a while, Fan Siqi found a pocket watch in Master Ou's arms. Inside the pocket watch was a photo of Master Ou and his second wife.
Fan Siqi was somewhat disappointed and said, "I guessed right... even if he were to release photos, he would only release photos of his second wife..."
As he spoke, he put down his pocket watch and continued searching the bookshelf to see if he had missed any books or newspapers.
Qu Chen had nothing to do, so he picked up the pocket watch and started playing with it.
He accidentally dropped his pocket watch on the ground, and it shattered into pieces.
Hearing the commotion, Jian Tanxi quickly picked up the fragments of the pocket watch to see if she could put them back together.
When she picked up the photo of Master Ou and his second wife, she suddenly felt something was off.
This photo seems a bit thick.
She flipped it over and saw that there was another photo on the back, this time of Master Ou and another woman.
The two photos were stuck together; no wonder they didn't feel right.
Jian Tanxi was very excited. Holding up the photo on the back, she asked the crowd, "Isn't the woman in this photo Master Ou's ex-wife?"
"Yes... I didn't expect Master Ou to be so clever. He put the photo of him with his second wife on the outside and the photo of him with his ex-wife on the inside. That way, even if someone opens his pocket watch, they won't discover his secret... He really is secretly missing his ex-wife..."
Jian Tanxi suppressed her excitement and performed a two-dimensional capture on Master Ou's ex-wife.
Moments later, his ex-wife's spirit appeared.
Those who witnessed it were all very surprised.
His ex-wife asked, "Where...where am I?"
Jian Tanxi briefly explained her identity and told her about the recent events that had happened in the Ou family.
An expression of disbelief crossed her face as she said, "How could this be..."
Jian Tanxi said, "We need your help. May I ask your name...?"
"My name is Mei Qingrui."
"Sister Mei, do you know where the most secret place in the Ou family is? We suspect that the brains of several young masters of the Ou family are hidden there. We need to take them out and put them back in as soon as possible."
