Lin Yan and Song Ranran chatted for a while at the entrance of the gymnasium, and then the Song family's car arrived. Song Ranran called the car. With tens of thousands of people leaving the concert venue together, it would definitely be difficult to get a taxi, so Song Ranran called the driver from home to come over in advance.
Seeing that it wasn't Song Wei who came, Lin Yan was still a little uncomfortable. After this guy was no longer hypnotized, his sister-con attribute also degenerated?
"I'll ask the driver to take you home. Qianqian, where do you live now?" Song Ranran asked Ning Qian.
"I still live in the same place as before." Ning Qian said.
"Then let's send Lin Xi first. Her home is closer." Song Ranran said.
"No need." Lin shook her head. "You guys go first. I still have to go to the company."
She actually wanted to go to the hospital. Although Assistant Tan said that neither of them was in danger of death, it was still worrying to see them injured like that. Moreover, she also wanted to know whether Aquaman's ears could recover.
"You're going to the company at this time?" Song Ranran asked in surprise.
"You know, I don't have much to do in my company, so I'm pretty free. I can't refuse to work overtime occasionally." Lin Nan said.
"Yeah, then I'll take you there directly." Song Ranran said.
"No, driving is not as fast as taking the subway." Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "How about you take me to Line 8 in front, where there are fewer people."
Ten minutes later, Lin Yan separated from Song Ranran at the No. 8 subway station and took the subway to the hospital. She originally thought that Hai Wang and Wu Wang would be sent to a special hospital, after all, their injuries were quite special, but Assistant Tan sent her the address of the city hospital. Lin Yan had also stayed in this hospital before, which was the one she was sent to after the car accident.
About 40 minutes later, Lin arrived at the subway entrance of the city hospital. However, when she got out of the subway, she found that the weather outside had changed without her knowing when. It was raining heavily. The subway entrance was still some distance away from the hospital. In such heavy rain, she would definitely get soaked if she walked through.
Just when Lin Xi was hesitating whether to wait for the rain to stop or find a deserted place to go home and get her umbrella, a tall figure holding a black umbrella came out from the rain and stopped in front of her.
"Senior Chen Chu?" Lin An was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you still standing there?" Chen Chu moved the umbrella towards Lin Xi.
Lin finally reacted and took two steps forward and stepped into the umbrella. She was wearing sandals today, which were wet and slippery after being soaked by the rain. As a result, Lin was unable to stand steadily when she stepped down the stairs, and she fell forward. Fortunately, Chen Chu reacted in time and reached out to grab her and put her in his arms.
Lin Xi raised her eyes in surprise and met Chen Chu's equally surprised eyes.
Suddenly, the world became quiet, as if the umbrella had its own barrier that isolated it from everything outside.
"Foolish human, don't go too far. Not only did you use my umbrella to protect you from the rain, but you also dared to let my umbrella watch you spread dog food."
A sharp voice suddenly rang out, interrupting the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere under the umbrella.
Lin Xi came to her senses, stood up straight and pretended that nothing had happened.
"What was that sound just now?" While talking, Lin looked up. When she saw the face with lively features on the umbrella cloth above her head, her expression gradually froze. She pointed at the top of the umbrella and asked in disbelief, "Is this the umbrella of God?"
It turned out that it was not her illusion, this umbrella really had its own barrier.
“Foolish human, you recognized my divine umbrella but still don’t worship it.” The Chuuni Umbrella scolded.
Oh no, this is a subway exit with a bunch of people around. How terrifying it would be if a talking umbrella suddenly appeared.
Lin Xi hurriedly turned her head to look, but found that there was nothing unusual about the people around her. Some were playing with their phones, some were hailing taxis, and no one was looking in her direction.
"I used the wind to block out the sound." Chen Chu saw Lin Xi's worry and explained.
so it is.
"Let's go. The rain will continue for a while." Chen Chu said again.
Lin An nodded quickly and followed Chen Chu to the hospital. Maybe it was because she almost fell just now, but Lin An found that Chen Chu walked very slowly.
Is it because of me?
Lin Xi couldn't help but steal a glance at Chen Chu, but just as the girl's thoughts began to emerge, they were ruined by a middle school student umbrella that ruined the mood.
"Foolish people, how dare you treat me like this? Don't even think about me helping you in the future."
"Stupid human, I will not forgive you unless you tell me a hundred unique jokes."
"It's so noisy." Lin Nan's head hurt because of the Chuuni Umbrella's chuuni remarks. There was nothing she could do. The space under the umbrella was so small that Chuuni Umbrella was actually roaring in Lin Nan's ear.
"The God's Umbrella will keep talking once it's opened. There's nothing I can do about it." Chen Chu sighed, "If it wasn't the only umbrella I had, I wouldn't use it."
Although the Umbrella of God is an S-level item and sounds very advanced, it is indeed too noisy to use it to block the rain.
"By the way, how come you are at the subway exit so coincidentally?" Lin Yan tried to make her tone sound calmer to prevent Chen Chu from seeing her inner turmoil.
"I'll wait for you there." Chen Chu said.
"thumping!"
In the heavy rain, amid the noise of the middle school umbrellas, Lin Xi heard her own intense heartbeat.
"During the previous battle, I accidentally dragged a rain cloud over here, so it rained. I thought you might not have an umbrella, so I came to pick you up." Chen Chu explained.
So this is how the rain came. She said that the weather forecast clearly said there was no rain. So although Senior Chen Chu came to pick her up on purpose, it was not the kind of pick-up she thought. He just didn't want to implicate her because of his mistake.
"What's wrong?" Chen Chu noticed that Lin Xi was in a low mood.
"I was thinking about the Sea King and the Dirt King. I don't know what's going on with them?" Lin Wan quickly changed the subject.
"Psychics are stronger than ordinary people. Some injuries that are considered serious for ordinary people are not serious for psychics. In comparison, the instability of the psychic core is more serious." Chen Chu explained, "But Assistant Tan has already applied for a wood psychic, and he should be able to come tomorrow."
So it is really like what Assistant Tan said, that even if the King of Dirty lost one-third of his blood, it would only be a minor injury?
As they were talking, the two entered the city hospital. Chen Chu put away the noisy God's Umbrella, shook off the water on it like an ordinary umbrella, and then casually picked it up in his hand and went to the inpatient department.
In the double ward in the inpatient department, Aquaman had finished his treatment and was sent in, while the Dirt King was still in the operating room.
The injuries on the soul and the energy core of the Sea King were more serious than those of the Dirty King. However, for ordinary doctors, the Dirty King, who had lost too much blood, had broken ribs, and had damaged organs, was a seriously ill patient. He had to receive countless CCs of blood transfusions.
"You're here?" Qingkong nodded when he saw the two people coming in, then his eyes fell on the umbrella in Chen Chu's hand that still had some water droplets on it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Is this the God's Umbrella?"
"Yeah." Chen Chu nodded expressionlessly.
Look, look, no normal person would think of using S-level items to block the rain, Lin Xi secretly complained.
"How's Neptune? Can his ears be cured?" Lin Nan walked to the bedside, looked at Neptune's pale face without a trace of blood, and asked worriedly.
"Yes. The doctor has already treated him, and he will be able to recover his hearing after a period of recuperation. Considering the physical condition of a psychic, he should be able to recover in two or three days." Qingkong said.
"That's good. Where is the King of Dirty?" Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask the King of Dirty.
"The King of Wu is in surgery and is still stitching his liver. It will probably take another three hours." The person who answered Lin Nan was Assistant Tan who had just pushed the door open.
"Why are you back?" Qingkong asked Assistant Tan.
"The operation will take another three hours. Anyway, he won't die. I'll come back and rest." Assistant Tan seemed to be really tired. He walked straight to the sofa, sat down and didn't get up.
Lin Xi was speechless. She had realized that there were colleagues in their group six, but not many. It was almost like, "As long as you don't die, I won't worry about you."
"You must be hungry. I'll go buy you something to eat." Lin Xi said as she went downstairs. After a while, she came back with some water and buns and distributed them to everyone.
"Thank you." Qingkong took it with a smile and glanced at Assistant Tan. "As expected, logistics should be done by girls. They are much more careful."
Assistant Tan glanced at him, as if to say, "Even if you tolerate me, I don't care."
Assistant Tan ate two buns and regained some strength. He remembered something and turned to Chen Chu: "You killed an earth-type mutant at the northern border?"
"Yeah." Chen Chu hummed lightly, as if he had just killed an ant on the roadside.
"Does he have a geography map with him?" Assistant Tan asked.
Chen Chu screwed the cap on the bottle, placed the half-drunk bottle of mineral water on the table, and casually pulled out a roll of animal skin-like stuff from the storage space and handed it to Assistant Tan.
Lin Xi immediately opened her eyes wide and looked over. This was the geology map, the legendary catastrophic prop that could cause earthquakes?
Assistant Tan took it and unfolded it. The animal skin was blank, with nothing on it.
Assistant Tan was a little confused: "Why is there nothing?"
"Let me see." Qingkong also came over at this time. He took off his glasses and carefully examined the animal skin. After a moment, he closed his eyes and put them back on. "I can see a strong energy, but the details are not clear."
"Even your eyes can't see clearly?" Assistant Tan was surprised.
"I'm only at level B, it's normal that I can't see clearly." Qingkong said.
"Qingkong's supernatural power is eyes?" Lin asked subconsciously, and then she remembered that in the supernatural world, supernatural powers cannot be asked casually, so she quickly apologized, "Sorry, you don't have to answer."
"Nothing." Qingkong said nonchalantly, "My special ability is eyes, the eyes of truth."
"Eye of Truth?" It was the first time that Lin Xi heard of this kind of supernatural power.
"This is the name I gave myself. My eyes can see the essence of everything, including..." Qingkong paused, "people's inner thoughts."
Mind reading? Doesn't that mean I have no privacy at all? Oh no, Qingkong can see it!
Lin Xi's eyes widened and her whole body tensed up.
"Don't worry, my glasses have a sealing effect and won't read people's minds at will." Lin Xi's expression was so rich that Qingkong didn't need any supernatural powers to guess what Lin Xi was thinking.
"I'm sorry." Lin Xi realized that her expression just now was a bit exaggerated, and Qingkong would probably feel uncomfortable seeing it.
"It doesn't matter." Qingkong has gotten used to it and doesn't mind it much.
"So is this a geomagnetic map?" Assistant Tan asked Chen Chu.
Chen Chu frowned and said uncertainly: "I haven't seen it either, so I'm not sure, but he only has this one supernatural item."
This was what he searched out directly from the person after he killed him. If the person really had a map with him, it could only be this.
Assistant Tan pondered for a while and said, "Let's go back and find a deserted place to bury it. We'll see if it can absorb the power of the earth veins."
As long as the geomagnetic map is buried in the soil, it will automatically absorb the power of the geomagnetic veins and can be easily identified.
"I suggest you don't." Qingkong disagreed. "The map is a legendary disaster item. We have only heard of its function, but we don't know how to use it. If something goes wrong, it will not be the responsibility of our small Jinshi Group 6."
"I don't agree either." Chen Chu also said, "This thing gives me a very dangerous feeling. It's best not to try it lightly."
"If even you think it's dangerous, then it must be the geography map." Chen Chu's ability is definitely among the top three among Chinese superpowers. Even if it's not a geography map, something that even he finds scary must be a top-level item. "I'll hand it in directly and let the higher-ups worry about it themselves."
Qingkong asked: "What props did they ask for?"
Assistant Tan: "Please choose one of the Staff of the Dead or the Umbrella of the Gods and turn it in. There is also a geophysical map. Someone from the headquarters will come with the wood-type mutant tomorrow and will take it away then."
The Staff of the Dead and the Umbrella of the Gods were equivalent to the spoils of the six groups, so they had the right to keep one and hand the other one over to the headquarters to exchange for the corresponding rewards. The map was a disaster item, and Chen Chu had accepted a mission from the headquarters to go to the border, so it was reasonable for him to hand it over.
"Go ahead." The system suddenly spoke.
Lin was stunned and asked silently, "Where are you going?"
"Geographic map." said the system.
Geographic map? This is the second time that the system has been interested in something other than the burial mound. The last time it was interested was the crown of the high priest.
"You want to buy the geography map?" Lin Yan said immediately, "No, this is not possible. It has to be handed over to the country. I can't sell it to you."
The high priest's crown was her property last time, so it wouldn't matter if she sold it to the system, but this thing belonged to the country and she had no right to dispose of it.
"I won't buy it, but if you give it to me, I can accept it reluctantly." said the system.
What? For you?
Lin Yan was immediately amused: "Comrade System, if you want to eat ice cream or hot and sour noodles, I can give them to you. But you are overthinking about the map."
"Go up and take a look to see if there is really no trace at all on the map." The system ignored Lin Xi's ridicule and was only interested in the map.
Out of curiosity, Lin went over and asked, "Can I take a look at that?"
Assistant Tan handed her the map.
Lin took it and unfolded it. The map was not big, about the size of an A3 paper. It felt a bit rough, and when she touched it carefully, it didn't feel like animal skin, but she couldn't tell its specific material. It was yellow all over, very thin, and even translucent.
"Bottom left corner." The system prompts.
Lin looked down to the lower left corner, and found a golden line about one centimeter thick, so light that it was almost invisible. Because it was the same color as the background, it was not visible unless you looked carefully.
"What is this?" Lin asked.
"Earth veins." said the system.
Geological veins? Geological veins on a geodesic map?
"What's the use?" Lin asked.
"There must be a geodesic map without a geodesic vein. When the last bit of geodesic vein fades away, the geodesic map must be redrawn," said the system.
Redraw? Then how to draw this map?
Just as Lin Yan was about to ask again, a doctor suddenly ran in: "Yun Yi's family."
Everyone raised their heads and looked at the doctor.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside the operating room?" The doctor didn't care to complain and handed a piece of paper to Assistant Tan. "During the operation just now, we found that Yun Yi's heart was also squeezed and needed repair. This is the consent form, please sign it."
Assistant Tan said "oh", took the paper and pen and signed his name directly: "OK."
"Don't worry, we will do our best to treat the patient." The doctor comforted him habitually.
"We are relieved. Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
The doctor was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. It seemed that from the time he entered the door until now, this family member had been too calm. Not only was there no anxiety or worry on his face, but he hadn't even moved from the sofa.
Although he had been in the hospital for so many years and had seen all kinds of human relationships, this was the first time he had seen such a cold and indifferent person. The Yun Yi in the operating room could die at any time.
"Aren't you going to follow?" the doctor couldn't help but ask.
"I'll go." Lin Xi understood the doctor's hidden meaning and stepped forward on her own initiative.
Assistant Tan glanced at her and said, "Okay, go ahead and keep an eye on it. Come back if there's nothing else."
Assistant Tan seemed really busy. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and started typing on his phone. I don’t know who he was communicating with.
The doctor rushed to deliver the consent form without waiting for Lin Nan. Lin Nan asked the nurse herself and found the door to the operating room.
It was unusually quiet outside the operating room. There were a few family members waiting, but everyone's face was filled with anxiety and fear. Lin was infected by the atmosphere and sat alone in a corner looking at her phone. After a while, her phone suddenly ran out of battery. She didn't dare to leave the operating room door, so she could only sit there.
Before she knew it, Lin Xi felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
When Chen Chu came over, he saw Lin Yan leaning back in the chair and nodding her head. He sat over silently and supported the girl's head with his shoulders so that she could sleep more peacefully.
