Chapter 35 So hungry
◎She is very hungry◎
"Undead, Judgment!"
At the last moment when the black line was about to pierce his heart, Gu Nian heard Tang Yue's voice. At the same time, the temperature around him dropped rapidly and several black ghostly shadows appeared.
Under the dual effects of the black line and the ghost shadow, the force on Gu Nian's neck immediately loosened.
Zhong Xingchi in front shouted, "It's Captain Tang, run!"
Gu Nian had no intention of fighting and forced back the black thread that had automatically swallowed the black mist after entering his chest. He suddenly broke free from the restraints on his neck and quickly moved away from Qin Ping.
A group of people with special abilities immediately came up to support them.
Gu Nian was taken to the back of the crowd.
Zhong Xingchi ran over quickly: "Are you okay?"
There were bruises all over Gu Nian's neck, and it was obvious that Qin Ping had tried to kill her. Fortunately, she was rescued in time. She covered her neck and shook her head: "It's okay." Then she looked at Qin Ping.
I saw several ghostly shadows completely clinging to Qin Ping's body, constantly pulling his limbs, and a faint human-shaped shadow was pulled out from Qin Ping's body.
Qin Ping seemed to be in great pain, struggling constantly and roaring.
The two sides are in a stalemate.
Someone with special abilities wanted to go over to help, but was stopped by Tang Yue.
"Don't go over there, he could turn into anyone at any time!"
After hearing this, no one dared to go over.
Watching the shadow about to be dragged away by the ghost, Tang Yue's eyes flashed with a complex expression. She bore unshirkable responsibility for what had happened today. As the captain, she should have acted decisively when she realized the situation was irreversible. If she hadn't still harbored illusions, what had just happened wouldn't have happened at all.
Tang Yue raised her hand.
The judgment of the dead will end with the devouring of souls.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, full of doubt.
"Huh? Qin Ping's mental pollution seems to have decreased?"
Tang Yue turned her head sharply and looked over: "What did you say?"
The person who spoke was a Purifier who came with Tang Yue. He was supposed to wait until Qin Ping was brought into the room to provide assistance, but something happened to him outside.
No one dared to get close just now, but he was a B-level purifier and could project his mental power, so he thought about whether he could help and tried to purify Qin Ping.
In fact, he had not held out much hope, because the reason why the mutants could not be saved was because the spiritual pollution in their bodies was very serious and had affected their bodies, making it difficult to purify them. But he just gave it a try and unexpectedly succeeded!
He pointed at Qin Ping excitedly and said, "Look!"
In front of Qin Ping's figure, surrounded by ghosts, scattered black spots the size of rice grains floated around. These were the pollutants being drawn out of his body. Because the black ghosts were clinging to Qin Ping's body, he remained unnoticed for a while.
Although the amount of pollutants pulled out is not much, it is indeed a good sign.
Everyone looked surprised.
Didn't they say it had already been transformed? Judging from the performance just now, it was indeed so. What was going on? How could it suddenly be purified again?
Tang Yue paused for a moment and confirmed, "You mean, he can still be saved?"
The B-level Purifier hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "As long as it can be purified, it probably hasn't been completely transformed." However, he also found the situation a bit difficult to explain. After thinking about it, he said carefully, "There is a chance of being rescued, but the result cannot be guaranteed."
There is a chance, what is the chance?
They had caught Qin Ping this time, but what about next time? What if the purification failed and someone escaped again? Would they still be so lucky?
Qin Ping's roars grew louder and louder, and the shadow was almost half separated from his body.
Tang Yue looked around and finally raised her arm slightly.
"I think we can give it a try."
Gu Nian suddenly spoke, and everyone looked at her.
Everyone was silent just now, not because they really didn't want to save Qin Ping, but because they couldn't bear the consequences of failure. Moreover, with Gu Nian being held hostage just now, even if everyone wanted to save him, they couldn't speak directly. But now, Gu Nian spoke up.
Gu Nian said seriously, "I really think we can give it a try."
Others didn't know, but she probably knew why. She had noticed it when the black line entered Qin Ping's body. Qin Ping's mental contamination was somewhat similar to the Spider-Man she had encountered in her dreams before, somewhere between a mild and severe case.
Gu Nian had initially concluded this after several treatments in dreams. At that time, she didn't know about pollution and only regarded it as three degrees of some kind of mental illness.
The mild case of paranoia patients is when the black air appears as an external object in the dream, which is the easiest to resolve; the second is the moderate case of Spider-Man patients, when eliminating the black fog will cause great pain to the patients; finally, the unlucky secondary personality in Xie Han’s dream is a severe case, so serious that it cannot be separated.
She had originally thought that the alienation Zhong Xingchi and the others were talking about was the last type, but now it seemed that might not be the case. At least Qin Ping's condition hadn't reached that level yet.
After the black line swallowed up part of the black fog, his mental pollution should have improved.
Since he knew that he could be saved, Gu Nian would not watch him die.
She said, "I personally suggest you give it a try."
Qin Ping's teammates were the first to step forward, followed by the other psychics at the sanatorium. They were all on the brink of alienation, and Qin Ping's today could also be their tomorrow. They were saving Qin Ping, and themselves. Everyone agreed to try purification.
Finally, Tang Yue put her hand down.
However, even though the decision had been made, necessary preparations still had to be made. Several psychics surrounded Qin Ping, and the three B-level purifiers from the sanatorium all arrived.
The entire sanatorium was on high alert.
Zhong Xingchi had already overdrawn his mental power during the purification, and the little mental power he had was of no help, so he simply didn't go over to cause trouble and took Gu Nian to see the injury.
There was also a general doctor in the sanatorium. After examining Gu Nian, he prescribed some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing medicine. After giving some instructions, he said it was nothing serious.
Gu Nian looked in the mirror and frowned.
How is she going to get home at night when she's like this?
Gu Nian touched the scar on her neck, turned to Zhong Xingchi and asked, "Can I stay here tonight? Even on duty is fine." She had to wait until her wound healed before going back.
Zhong Xingchi next to him almost spit out a mouthful of water.
"You're going to stay here on duty tonight?" He raised his voice in disbelief.
With today's rich and colorful experience, he was worried that Gu Nian would leave on the spot. He was still feeling nervous just now, but he suddenly heard such a request.
Zhong Xingchi knew that Gu Nian was not a timid person, but he didn't expect him to be so brave!
That was a matter of life and death just now.
Gu Nian paused and pointed to his neck speechlessly, "If I go home with such an injury today, then I really don't need to come tomorrow."
Zhong Xingchi exclaimed "Ah", and then he thought about it and realized that such a thing happened on the first day of work. It would be strange if the parents were not worried. They would definitely not be happy to let their child come.
If he really let Gu Nian go, he would be a little reluctant.
Gu Nian is a purifier and is so smart.
Zhong Xingchi quickly said, "You don't need to be on duty anymore. I'll find you a place to stay. It's in the small courtyard of our sanatorium. The environment there is much better."
Gu Nian nodded: "Okay."
But it's still early now, and we have to at least wait for the news that Qin Ping has successfully purified the product. After all, if something happens here, no one will dare to sleep peacefully at night.
When the two of them returned with the medicine, they saw Shang Rou and Shi Yan coming from the other direction. Shang Rou was scolding Shi Yan as she walked. Shi Yan listened attentively without saying a word.
Zhong Xingchi saw Shi Yan subconsciously pause for a step, thinking that he had a psychological trauma.
Shang Rou and Shi Yan also saw them.
Shi Yan waved his hands happily and shouted, “Therapist Gu, Therapist Zhong!”
Zhong Xingchi: “…”
Why can the replaced party act as if nothing happened?
Shang Rou saw Gu Nian's eyes light up, and she walked over and said to Shi Yan, "Keep your voice down, or One-Eye will be looking for you. Your voice can be heard from two miles away."
When she found out how Shi Yan was replaced, she was furious. One-Eye was already very smart, and his loud voice was like a locator, always broadcasting his location. He even had to go to a fixed location to use the restroom. If not him, who would be replaced?
Shang Rou said, "Did you hear what I just said to you?"
Shi Yan rubbed his ears. "What did you say? I can't hear you!" Why did he feel like the loudspeaker next to his ear was getting louder and louder? He couldn't hear anything at all.
Shang Rou was so angry that she stopped talking to him.
Zhong Xingchi who witnessed this scene said: Yes, it is indeed Shi Yan.
When they got there, Shang Rou thanked Gu Nian first. "Healer Gu, it's really thanks to you this time. If there's anything I can help with in the future, just let me know."
She didn't go to the tenth floor because she had to look after Qian Baobao, but she had heard about what happened there. In any case, this time it was all thanks to Gu Nian who spoke up for One-Eye.
Gu Nian shook his head: "It's okay."
She was just telling the truth. If Qin Ping was really beyond saving, she would definitely not show any mercy.
In order to avoid accidents, Qin Ping's purification was carried out in the special ward on the tenth floor.
In fact, it was originally prepared for Qin Ping. After receiving Gu Nian's message, they planned to lure Qin Ping into that room and trap him, and then make a final purification attempt.
But the premise is that Qin Ping can still be saved.
There were many people with special abilities guarding the ward, and Gu Nian and his group stopped not far away.
Shang Rou and Zhong Xingchi were both a little nervous.
Shi Yan was forbidden by Shang Rou to speak because his voice was too loud, so he stood aside obediently.
Of the group, only Gu Nian wasn't nervous anymore. In fact, she felt a bit hungry. To be precise, it wasn't her hunger, it was her black line hunger, and she was protesting.
It had been dissatisfied since Gu Nian forced it to be recalled.
Gu Nian felt that this was really a big problem. He was like raising a pig that could eat and sleep. It would eat when it was full and sleep when it was full. It was like a bottomless pit.
This kind of hunger was not physical and not particularly uncomfortable, but it made her feel a little irritable.
If she didn't enter the contaminated area, she would have to find a way to solve the black line problem. The psychic in the sanatorium could be considered a source, but she was only C-level, and the so-called "eye of truth" was a bit strange. She was not sure about it and didn't want to take the initiative to test it again.
It's a bit worrying.
The waiting time was very long, until it was dark, and the door of the ward was finally opened.
Tang Yue came out first. Although she looked tired, she had a hint of obvious joy on her face.
Shang Rou stood up immediately.
Tang Yue walked over and said with a smile, "It's okay."
After the efforts of three B-level purifiers, Qin Ping was finally pulled back from the brink of alienation.
There were sounds of celebration in the ward and everyone was very happy.
The people who had evacuated the sanatorium came back one after another. After Qin Ping's condition stabilized, he was taken back to the 18th floor for observation. Everything returned to its original orderly state.
Shang Rou thanked Gu Nian again and left with Shi Yan.
Gu Nian was also about to leave, but was stopped by Tang Yue.
Tang Yue said, "I need to apologize to you. Because Qin Ping didn't kill the therapist on the 18th floor, I thought he might still be sane, so I decided to try treatment first."
She was happy that Qin Ping was rescued, but she couldn't cover up her mistake. A Purifier and a member of the Special Affairs Bureau almost lost their lives because of this. It wasn't always so lucky.
Tang Yue seemed to really feel that she had done something wrong.
In Gu Nian's opinion, Tang Yue's judgment wasn't wrong, to a certain extent. It was a question of ability. Qin Ping was originally within the range of being purified, but the sanatorium, or the purifiers, didn't have that ability and could only determine that he had been completely alienated and needed to be eliminated.
The therapist on the 18th floor and Shi Yan were both knocked unconscious, suggesting that Qin Ping might have retained a shred of sanity. If he had been able to purify himself then, the problem wouldn't have been too serious. But by the time he held her hostage, his mental contamination had intensified. If the black line hadn't swallowed up some of the black mist, his condition would have quickly escalated from moderate to severe, leaving her with no recourse.
Qin Ping actually has some luck.
Gu Nian knew in his heart that Tang Yue's judgment was correct, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only say: "Sometimes trusting your intuition is not a bad thing. At least this time we got a good result."
Tang Yue smiled, obviously taking this as a comfort.
The two separated.
Gu Nian and Zhong Xingchi went to eat first, and then went to the courtyard arranged for her.
The two of them sneaked into the courtyard in the dark without being noticed by anyone.
It’s not that they wanted to do this, but Gu Nian was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the psychics. If they really came with such fanfare, she wouldn’t be able to sleep tonight.
The place had been arranged in advance and all the necessary daily necessities were available. After confirming that Gu Nian had no other needs, Zhong Xingchi told her to call him anytime if she had any questions, and then quietly left.
Gu Nian returned to the room and called home first, using the excuse that the sanatorium was busy and get off work was late, so she could only stay here temporarily this week and go back on the weekend.
This was only the first day at work, and both Gu's father and mother were obviously a little worried.
Gu Nian had no choice but to make another video call, first taking a picture of the surrounding environment, and then pointing the camera at his face, "Look, I'm really fine."
Only after seeing that Gu Nian was indeed fine did Gu's father and mother hang up the phone.
When Gu Nian was about to put the phone back, she suddenly remembered something and clicked on the message again to check it out. Then she frowned. Xie Han still hadn't replied.
The Xie family would not be unable to hire a servant. Xie Han left her contact information, so she should be able to be contacted. However, since she sent a message yesterday about someone from the Xie family coming, there has been no reply.
The person who took Xie Han away that time called him Young Master. Later, he went to Xie's hotel to spend time. The hotel staff did accept the business card. Others came later, so it shouldn't be fake.
But if you think about it carefully, Xie Han’s relationship with the Xie family can definitely not be described as good.
How could the young master of a wealthy family live there alone? The nanny he hired was not attentive at all. The Xie family is following the example of their superiors and the essence of the matter is that they don't care about this son.
She seemed to remember that the Xie family had an official heir, right?
Gu Nian frowned and called again, but still no one answered. Gu Nian thought there would be no news, but after a while, a text message came in.
It was Xie Han's number, with just three simple words, "Got it."
After a while, another message came in. It was a voice message, "Don't worry about them."
This is Xie Han's style.
Gu Nian simply felt that the boy was somewhat mentally unhealthy, so she asked him a few more questions. Seeing him say that, she stopped paying attention. She put her phone down and went to wash up.
After lying down on the bed, Gu Nian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
She is so hungry.
The black line was also a little restless, always wanting to run next door, as if there was something delicious next door.
Gu Nian pulled back the black thread little by little and said with a dark face: "Sleep!"
After making the pancakes for a while, Gu Nian finally fell asleep.
Then she opened her eyes and appeared in the dream again.
The familiar white light was still in front of him, dotted with black whirlpools of different sizes, but this time the range of the white light had expanded. It was ten meters before, but this time it was about fifty meters.
The black spot in the center has also changed. It used to be the size of a grain of rice, but now it's the size of an egg. It looks like it has grown a lot.
Gu Nian circled the black egg and looked down at her wrist. Sure enough, a black string appeared there. With a thought, Gu Nian's mind moved, and the string split into eight.
When it first emerged from Xie Han's dream, it could only split into five parts. Combined with other changes, it was obvious that these were all the results of the black line swallowing the black fog during this period of time.
I just don't know why there is only such a thin one when I am awake.
Gu Nian felt a little envious as she watched the black vortex appear around her, but she tried hard to control herself. She couldn't be exposed, at least not yet. She wasn't strong enough yet.
But the black string was thicker than the black line, and its temper was much worse, pulling Gu Nian towards the black vortex. Gu Nian desperately retreated, and the two sides began to tug of war.
As Gu Nian was pulling the weeds, he became irritated and angry.
Is this black rope the master or is she the master?
With a flick of his wrist, the black dagger he had obtained from Xie Han's dream appeared. This dagger had originally been obtained from the secondary personality and was the only thing Gu Nian had found that could damage the black rope. Gu Nian cut it without hesitation.
If you can't use it for her, then just don't use it.
With one cut, the black rope finally became obedient and returned to Gu Nian's wrist.
But Gu Nian didn't stop at all. She took one of the split strings and said, "Aren't you refusing to let me use it while you're awake? Then you might as well turn into a black string."
She cut a black rope into thin silk threads one by one, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"You can't just grab a piece of wool and pluck it all. You have to develop it sustainably."
Driven by Gu Nian, the cut silk threads went towards the black whirlpools.
