Chapter 69: Final Chapter 1
◎S-level healer◎
Gu Nian felt as if she was floating in a warm ocean, and her whole body felt comfortable.
The side effects originally caused by the rapid swallowing gradually disappeared, just like lying on a soft sofa after a big meal, letting the warm sunshine fall on your body.
All in all, very comfortable.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Gu Nian suddenly opened his eyes.
She reached out and grabbed the "light".
To be precise, it is a ball of light composed of white threads.
Gu Nian's expression turned cold: "Who are you?"
This was the place where she had dreamed before, but now, instead of the black vortex, there were countless white threads surrounding it. The healer's threads.
Gu Nian said in a positive tone: "Lu Yan."
Then she woke up.
He opened his eyes and met Lu Yan's gaze above him.
And she was lying in bed.
Gu Nian flipped over and stood up, black lines swirling between his fingers, rushing straight towards Lu Yan, and in an instant, they were wrapped around his neck. But the other party did not dodge.
Gu Nian didn't retract her frown, staring at Lu Yan closely: "Who are you?"
The person in front of him sighed softly and said calmly, "I should be the one asking you this question."
Gu Nian's pupils shrank slightly, and she quickly replied, "I don't understand what you mean."
Lu Yan: "You're not a healer, right? Your ability is to devour, right?"
Gu Nian's fingers moved slightly, and the black thread tightened. But at the same time, she could also sense the emotion conveyed by the black thread. It instinctively had no hostility towards the person in front of it. Gu Nian frowned and tightened the black thread again.
His peripheral vision swept across the surroundings.
This was the hospital where Lu Yan had stayed when she came to treat him. They had already left the contaminated area.
Lu Yan: "Don't worry, there's no one else here."
Gu Nian frowned and looked at the other person, saying in a deep voice, "You were deliberately approaching me from the beginning, right? Who are you, and what is your purpose in approaching me?"
The other party's sudden appearance, and subsequent injuries were even more abrupt. An S-rank healer, while an A-rank deputy was seriously injured, requiring another healer to come to his aid. After she arrived, he suddenly woke up on his own. This matter itself was very strange.
Moreover, the other party was in the contaminated area and paid too much attention to him.
All the clues proved that this person was targeting her. She hadn't sensed any hostility in the contaminated area, so she was just wary. She had assumed he would remain hidden, but unexpectedly, he chose to confront her directly. Since that was the case, she might as well come clean.
Gu Nian stared at the other person closely.
She would not allow any factors that might disrupt her current life to exist.
The black line tightens again.
After a moment's silence, Lu Yan said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, do you know who you are?" He looked deeply at Zhu Leng, as if he wanted to see through her true thoughts.
Gu Nian stopped talking and the black thread in his hand continued to tighten.
"Puff" sound was the sound of the black line cutting through the skin texture.
However, the person in front of him did not move.
The black line continues to tighten.
A deep wound was made on the opponent's neck, but what flowed out was not bright red blood, but a transparent, gel-like liquid.
Transparent liquid flowed from the wound, slowly gathering together to form tiny tentacles. These tentacles merged and gradually grew larger. Soon, a transparent, sticky tentacle appeared before Gu Nian's eyes, wrapping around the black thread. The black thread trembled slightly, as if the contact with the transparent tentacle was a pleasant experience. At the same time, Gu Nian's mind became clearer.
It is as if the impurities that were originally deposited in the body have been cleared away.
And something even more surprising happened to Gu Nian.
The black line passing through the transparent tentacle turned into the same white color as the therapist!
Gu Nian suddenly looked at Lu Yan.
Lu Yan: "Don't worry, this is just a disguise."
Gu Nian's brows furrowed slightly; the other party saw what she was trying so hard to hide. With a slight movement of his fingers, the white silk thread trembled rapidly, and soon, its true appearance was revealed.
The person in front of her did not give her a sense of danger.
But she instinctively didn't want to kill the other person.
The black thread loosened slightly...
Then, strangled instantly!
Black threads pierced the body of the person before him from different directions, shredding their clothes. However, no matter where the wounds were, the same transparent, sticky gelatinous substance that had been on the other person's neck flowed out. The gelatinous substance divided by the black threads slowly merged, and soon, all the wounds were healed as before.
Lu Yan was still standing there.
The black line also turned white again.
Gu Nian said firmly: "You are not a human."
Lu Yan nodded: "Yes, I am not a human."
Hearing this answer, Gu Nian felt a little relieved. She got up from the bed and walked straight out, saying, "I don't care who you are or what your purpose is. I'm just an ordinary person. I only care about my family."
Lu Yan: "That disguise can help you become a 'real therapist'."
Gu Nian turned around and saw that the other person was looking at him with a strange look.
She didn't respond and turned to open the door.
The other person's voice came from behind: "If you change your mind, you can always come to me. But I must remind you, time is running out."
Gu Nian left immediately.
She doesn't need to know who she is, she just needs to know that she is Gu Nian.
As for other things, it has nothing to do with her.
Coming out of the ward, Gu Nian saw Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian peeking over. Seeing her come out, they hurried over and asked, "How are you? Healer Lu said you were too exhausted from dealing with the contaminated core, so that's why you fainted. Are you feeling better now?"
Gu Nian nodded, "I'm fine." He then asked, "How's the situation in the contaminated area? Is anyone in Shanyin Village? The Taoist priest I was looking for should still be there."
Her biggest goal in going to Shanyin Village was to find the Taoist priest who could restore Xie Han's health. The two police officers guarding him hadn't left Shanyin Village, so the Taoist priest must still be there.
Zhong Xingchi nodded quickly. "Our people have taken over that place. I heard about it before I came here. You fainted at the time, and our people immediately sealed off Shanyin Village. Then they found the Taoist priest in the dark room under the ancestral hall. We've brought him back."
Song Tian added, "That Taoist priest was in such a miserable state. He was barely alive when we found him. The villagers said it was he who gave the village chief the idea to seal Zheng Qiao'er inside the mountain god statue, which led to the pollution outbreak."
From the narration of Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian, Gu Nian learned that the Taoist priest first went to Shanyin Village and indeed found clues related to longevity there. However, in order to avoid being discovered, he pretended to pass by and left quickly, and then secretly returned. However, he was unlucky. When he returned to the ancestral hall, he was discovered by the village chief's people and was detained.
In order to leave, he deliberately said some seemingly plausible words, causing the village chief to seal Zheng Qiaoer, who accidentally discovered the truth about He Wenyu's death and used He Wenyu's email address to send emails to other people, into a stone statue in the mountain temple, artificially creating a pollution core to facilitate his escape.
However, he had not expected that the pollution core of a small mountain village could be at level C, so not only did he fail to leave smoothly in the first place, but he was also injured for violating the "rules" and was finally caught.
Song Tian said angrily, "This Taoist priest is really bad. Those villagers are not good either!"
Zhong Xingchi also said viciously: "It's his bad luck to fall into our hands, he's finished!" If it weren't for this bastard, he wouldn't have played the suona for most of the night and his cheeks were numb.
As for the villagers, this incident terrified them, bringing to light the truth that had been buried. The dead were all those who had participated in He Wenyu's murder, or those who knew about it but helped conceal it. The incident was sparked by the village chief's son's love for Zheng Qiao'er, but the real cause was the control that generations of Shanyin Village chiefs had exercised over the village. To control the villagers, they fabricated outdated rules and a mountain spirit that could manifest miracles.
In the end, you will reap what you sow.
Gu Nian nodded. No matter what, the purpose of this trip was achieved.
She said, "Bring the people with you and let's go back."
She had been out long enough, it was time to go back.
Because they had made thorough preparations, there were no accidents along the way and they returned to City S safely.
Gu Nian said goodbye to the two of them, saying she had to go home first, while Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian escorted the Taoist back to the Special Affairs Bureau to report. They agreed to meet again at the sanatorium.
After parting with the two, Gu Nian returned home.
Before she even entered the complex, she saw the patrolling psychics. The security here was even tighter than before she left. As she took the elevator up, the door to the next room opened first, and Tang Yue walked out, followed by someone Gu Nian hadn't expected.
Fang Tong.
Fang Tong woke up?
Gu Nian frowned and immediately asked, "Are my parents okay?"
Tang Yue: "They're fine, don't worry." She added: "However, there was indeed a pollution outbreak here while you were away, but it was quickly resolved. Fang Tong was very helpful, and no one was injured. It's just that your family is very worried about you and has been waiting for your return."
After saying that, he said, "Go back quickly."
At this time, the door of the Gu family's room had already opened. Gu Bai poked his head out and saw Gu Nian's eyes wide open. He turned around and shouted, "Dad! Mom! My sister is back!"
Then there was a series of hurried footsteps.
Gu Nian's eyes curved as he thanked Tang Yue and then said to Fang Tong, "Thank you for this time."
The girl lowered her eyes slightly and shook her head gently.
Gu Nian walked towards home, and Gu's father and mother had already come out. They surrounded Gu Nian, looked him up and down, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was no problem.
Mother Gu held onto Gu Nian's hand and refused to let go, frequently asking her how she had been doing over the past few days. Although Father Gu didn't say anything, his eyes were always fixed on him.
Gu Nian responded patiently, looking at Gu Bai with a questioning look.
What is going on?
Gu Bai shook his head slightly, indicating that he would talk later.
Gu Nian entered the house amidst the warm greetings of Gu's parents, and then saw Xie Han sitting in a wheelchair. The other party had been waiting here.
Gu Nian: "I have found the Taoist priest. Zhong Xingchi will pick you up this afternoon and take you to the convalescent center. You should be able to stand up again by then."
Xie Han raised his head slightly, and finally said awkwardly, "Thank you."
Gu Nian smiled.
Upon hearing this, Gu's father and mother were delighted. "Can Xiao Xie's leg be cured?"
Gu Nian nodded: "I will be able to recover soon."
Gu Ma became happy and said quickly: "That's to celebrate. You don't know that it was Xiao Xie who first discovered something was wrong and asked us to hide. Otherwise,"
Gu Ma's face darkened.
Dad Gu patted Mom Gu gently: "Aren't we all fine now?"
Mother Gu wiped her eyes with her hand and quickly smiled: "Yes, we are very lucky that our family is doing well now. Xiao Tang said that we are very safe here." She quickly asked Gu Nian: "Niannian, you should not travel far again after you come back this time, right?" She looked at Gu Nian with a worried face.
Gu Nian smiled and nodded: "Well, I won't go out."
Mother Gu was finally relieved and continued, "You're back safely, and Xiao Xie's leg can be cured. These are all good things, and we must celebrate. Yes, and Xiao Tang and Xiao Tong, they've both been working hard recently. Xiao Zhong often comes to help, but I don't know if they're free right now. Nian Nian, ask them if they want to come over. Mom will cook some extra food so we can celebrate."
After saying that, he reminded Gu Nian not to force others if they were busy.
Gu Nian responded one by one.
After Mama Gu went into the kitchen to busy herself, Dad Gu patted Gu Nian's head and said, "Your mom has been a little nervous lately. It's good to ask her to find something to do. Just focus on your own things and don't worry."
Gu Nian nodded, "Okay, I understand."
But after Gu's father went in to help Gu's mother, Gu Nian called Xie Han and Gu Bai and went to the living room.
Gu Nian: "What else happened while I was away?"
Gu Bai sighed and said softly, "There was a pollution outbreak in the residential compound where my mother used to work. No one in the entire community escaped." He was also feeling a little down. "Our school is closed now. There's no one on the streets now. Everyone is hiding at home. I can't contact many of my classmates. I don't know how they are doing now."
It was a scene of the end of the world.
Xie Han's expression was also very solemn. "Things are deteriorating faster than I expected. Pollution outbreaks are very frequent now. You should have seen when you came in that the number of psychics patrolling here is increasing. But this is not because we have enough manpower. On the contrary, there are not enough psychics now. The Special Affairs Bureau must have changed their plan. Now, they can only protect those who can be protected."
The subtext is that you have to give up what you have to give up.
Pollution outbreaks are frequent and widespread. In the case of a shortage of manpower, it is not a good idea to disperse the psychics. The only way is to shrink the area, divide it into areas, gather people together, and have enough psychics patrol and protect them.
This was also the prototype of Gu Nian's original idea.
The Special Affairs Bureau took advantage of the situation and agreed to Gu Nian's conditions, willing to send a special ability person, with this idea in mind. However, the current situation exceeded everyone's expectations.
Gu Nian frowned.
She inexplicably thought of Lu Yan's words.
There is not much time left.
Xie Han thought she was worried about her family's safety, and added, "But you don't have to worry too much. This is one of the earliest areas where people with special abilities gathered. Now that the Special Affairs Bureau has sent more people with special abilities here, it means they won't give up here. It's safe here."
Gu Nian didn't explain, just nodded.
At noon, Tang Yue and Fang Tong came to eat, but no one else came.
Tang Yue: "There's a suspected pollution outbreak near the community. Qin Ping and Shi Yan went to check it out. Shang Rou and Qian Baobao just entered the contaminated area this morning and haven't come out yet."
Zhong Xingchi and Song Tian are still busy in the Special Affairs Bureau.
After dinner, Tang Yue briefly told Gu Nian about the current situation. Just like what Xie Han said, the Special Affairs Bureau was divided into many areas and divided the psychics into two categories: one is the psychics who are stationed to guard these areas, and the other is the mobile team that often needs to go out.
Tang Yue is the person in charge of their area.
Tang Yue didn't stay long and left quickly.
In the afternoon, Zhong Xingchi arrived to take Xie Han to the sanatorium. The Taoist priest was very eccentric, so to avoid any further complications, he reported to the Special Affairs Bureau and rushed over directly.
The one who came with Zhong Xingchi was Ke Lele.
Ke Lele was very happy to see Gu Nian. Now he has become a formal employee of the Special Affairs Bureau. However, because his abilities are more inclined towards defense, he usually stays in the Special Affairs Bureau.
Before leaving, Gu Nian asked, "Why didn't I see Qi Kai? Did he enter the contaminated area?"
Zhong Xingchi and Ke Lele's expressions darkened.
Zhong Xingchi cheered up and said, "Brother Qi is injured, a little seriously, but he is no longer in danger of death. He is in the convalescent center. You will be able to see him when you get there."
Gu Nian nodded and said nothing.
After watching the car leave, she returned home.
The sanatorium gave her three days off and asked her to go back after three days.
Gu Nian decided to stay at home with her parents.
Gu's parents were very happy and in much better spirits. Gu Bai pouted, but his mood was obviously much better. The family spent three days happily.
During these three days, Gu Nian directly blocked out any information from the outside world.
The vacation is over and it's time to return to the sanatorium.
Before leaving, Gu Nian said to his father and mother, "Dad, Mom, I will talk to the dean and transfer my job here. I will always be by your side."
After asking if this would affect her, Gu's father and mother were obviously relieved.
After returning to the sanatorium, Gu Nian went to see Qi Kai first.
Qi Kai was seriously injured and was still in a coma.
Although his life is no longer in danger, he can only lie in bed. At the same time, his supernatural powers have also been damaged to a certain extent, and it will take a long time to recover.
Gu Nian performed another cleansing on the man. Although the sanatorium also had therapists, she knew after getting to know them that their cleansing effects were not as good as those of the black line.
The white silk thread directly drew in the black mist and then swallowed it.
Gu Nian stared at the streak of white for a while, then looked away.
Leaving the ward, she went to the top floor, to the dean's office.
When she opened the door, the dean was on the phone. Seeing her come in, he motioned for her to sit down first. He then continued to curse into the phone, and it sounded like he was bargaining with the headquarters, asking them to provide more pollutants and send S-level therapists for support if necessary.
Soon, the dean hung up the phone with a bang, but there was no anger on his face.
Probably succeeded.
Gu Nian raised an eyebrow and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the other party.
The dean looked extremely worried. Seeing Gu Nian was like seeing a savior. "You're finally back! You didn't know that in just a few days, the Special Affairs Bureau has sent people who need to be purified. They're piling up like a mountain. They're asking for purification every day. It's so annoying. Hurry and purify them and get rid of them!"
Gu Nian: "I want to change my work location. The Special Affairs Bureau has different areas, and these areas also need therapists. I'm applying to work back home."
The dean stopped chattering.
Sitting upright with a serious expression, he said, "If you go back, what will happen to the superpowers here?"
Gu Nian: "You can ask them to come find me."
Dean: "How many can you treat?"
Gu Nian: “All.”
The dean immediately smiled and said, "Okay, deal!"
That’s settled.
After clearing out the remaining "survivors" from the sanatorium, Gu Nian returned home that afternoon. As she left, everyone who had witnessed the terrifying speed of purification looked at her in awe. At the same time, the dean announced that Gu Nian's true level of treatment had been S-grade.
After that, people will be sent to Gu Nian continuously, and this matter cannot be concealed.
After the announcement, long-lost cheers were heard in the convalescent center.
At the same time, this also gave a shot of adrenaline to all the superpowers in City S.
They finally have an S-class healer too!
This means that they no longer have to worry about frequently entering contaminated areas without timely purification. They can enter contaminated areas without worries to save their relatives, friends, classmates, and strangers who may have passed by them in the past but are now in danger of death.
The entire superpower system in City S began to operate at high speed.
After the black line turned white, Gu Nian no longer had any worries. No matter how many psychics were sent, the purification could be completed quickly.
With Gu Nian as the center, a new "sanatorium center" is taking shape.
