Upon hearing the word "physical examination," both Wuhen and Jingang's eyes lit up.
The regular timing and items of the physical examinations clearly revealed the strangeness hidden within them. The fact that the people in the conference room were going for their physical examinations gave Xinghuo the opportunity to investigate.
Xia Chuhe was somewhat annoyed, as this group of people had not revealed any information related to Angelica sinensis.
The group left the conference room in a grand procession, with Wuhen and his two companions quietly trailing behind.
The health check center is near the house, so there's no need to go out through the main gate; the side gate of the house faces directly towards the back gate of the health check center.
The group of people who came out of the meeting room did not try to avoid people, and the others were used to their behavior of going to the medical examination center.
The medical examination center has only two floors. On the first floor, a machine for collecting medical examination reports is located in the center, with a blood collection window on the left and a restroom on the right. Seating and tea are also provided nearby.
Each person collects two tubes of blood at the blood collection window, and a designated person delivers the blood to the second floor.
After their blood was drawn, the person sat in their seat and waited.
It looks like I'll get the medical examination results in no time.
Xia Chuhe wanted to follow the people delivering blood to the second floor to take a look, but she heard a short man sitting in a seat say, "Has the team protecting the Third Miss Butler been dealt with?"
"Hmph, that rebellious woman does have some insight; the team she's with isn't easy to deal with. They sent so many people, and only managed to take down one." The middle-aged man beside him chuckled. "But Little Third is missing; he probably perished in the dungeon. I've already recalled the people I sent. With the current turmoil, without my meddling, those people aren't doing well either."
Xia Chuhe tightly gripped Wuhen's hand and crouched behind the middle-aged man's chair to eavesdrop.
She was certain that this was the person who had repeatedly hunted them down!
With her right hand gripping Wuhen, Xia Chuhe opened and closed her left hand, and the dagger was already in her grasp.
Xia Chuhe squinted at the middle-aged man, calculating whether it would be faster to die by stabbing him in the neck or stabbing him straight in the heart.
Just as he was about to strike, Wuhen grabbed his right hand instead.
The ability of the three invisible individuals is described as invisibility, but it's more like creating a small, isolated space within a normal environment. Others cannot see the three invisible individuals, but the three individuals can see each other.
Wuhen frowned and shook his head in disapproval.
Xinghuo wants to find out why the upper class is immune to superpowers. Now that the investigation is halfway done, if someone dies now, wouldn't that alert the enemy?
Wuhen would never allow Xia Chuhe to ruin Xinghuo's plans. If Xia Chuhe insisted on doing so, she would have no choice but to sell Xia Chuhe to protect herself.
Looking into Wuhen's eyes, Xia Chuhe understood Wuhen's thoughts in a few breaths.
This infiltration into the upper levels was almost entirely due to Wuhen's supernatural abilities.
Those who are capable hold the power of discourse.
Xia Chuhe reluctantly put away the dagger.
Now that we've found him, there's no reason for him to escape.
It's not too late to make a move once Wuhen has finished dealing with Xinghuo, or when Wuhen decides to leave.
Xia Chuhe suppressed his desire for revenge and quietly waited for the next suitable opportunity.
Before long, the person at the head of the upper class walked to the machine in the center of the first floor and received a stack of medical examination reports.
She slowly flipped through the medical examination reports, occasionally picking one out and placing it aside.
After she finished reading them, there were eight or nine medical examination reports next to her.
The leader put down the report in his hand, picked up the report he had just selected, and slowly read aloud: "Lu Chen, Lu Wenliu... Guan Wuji... The physical examination results are abnormal. We will go and complete the supplementary report later."
Everyone called by the leader stood up and went to collect their medical examination reports.
The person who plotted to assassinate Lu Dangui was among them; his name was Guan Wuji.
Wuhen gripped Xia Chuhe's hand even tighter, as if afraid that Xia Chuhe might cause trouble rashly.
Xia Chuhe temporarily abandoned her plan to kill Guan Wuji, so she did not break free from Wuhen, lest Wuhen always focus his attention on her.
Next to the machine, the people who were called took their medical examination reports one by one and went up to the second floor together.
Wuhen ignored those whose names hadn't been called and hurriedly followed Guan Wuji and the others, sneaking into the second floor.
The second floor is separated by a staircase and has only two rooms.
One room is a testing room, and the other has no name.
Perhaps because the health check center has few customers, there were no other customers after the group of people had finished their tests, and the testing room was very quiet.
The person who received the medical examination report stood solemnly in front of the nameless room.
Guan Wuji, who was at the back of the line, even started breathing heavily and seemed to be moving his hands and feet in unison.
Lu Chen, who was at the front, took a deep breath and stepped towards the door.
The door opened, and Lu Chen went in.
Wuhen and the other two stood opposite Guan Wuji and the others, close to the wall of Wuming's room.
Because Lu Chen's movements were too sudden and swift, the three of them were unable to follow him in immediately and missed seeing what was happening inside the room.
Before long, painful groans and screams could be heard coming from inside the room.
Lu Chen seemed to be enduring torture.
Guan Wuji's dark face turned deathly pale with fright.
Xia Chuhe became increasingly curious about the things in the room.
Soon, the door opened, Lu Chen came out, and Lu Wenliu went in.
Lu Chen walked briskly, his face was rosy, and he had a smile on his lips, showing no signs of having been tortured.
But Lu Wenliu's steps were so heavy, so resistant.
This time the door took a little longer to open, and the three of them successfully sneaked in.
There was a tank of black water in the room, just like the Black Sea in the Bird Island instance. The thick blackness was overwhelming and devoid of any sign of life.
But the longer you stare at the black water, the more chaotic and disordered the water appears to ripple, as if some living creature is hiding within it.
Xia Chuhe pulled Wuhen, and Wuhen pulled Jingang; the three of them shrank into the corner as fast as they could.
I wish I could shrink myself to the size of a speck of dust and stick to the wall.
Even after going invisible, you can't escape the feeling of being watched.
Facing the black water, Lu Wenliu's hands and feet trembled. He spread his feet apart, about shoulder-width apart, raised his hands slightly, and tilted his head back, looking as if he was ready to die.
The instant Lu Wenliu closed his eyes, ripples spread across the surface of the black water, and several pitch-black tentacles emerged from the water, binding Lu Wenliu's hands and feet.
There were also seven tentacles of various sizes and thicknesses, heading straight for Lu Wenliu's face, irresistibly drilling into his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, completely occupying Lu Wenliu's seven orifices.
The tentacles that had burrowed in continued to wriggle and penetrate deeper.
They used their seven orifices as entrances to penetrate every inch of the willow tree's cavity and meridians, until they completely invaded it.
...
After everything was over, the tentacles retracted, and Lu Wenliu revealed the same relaxed expression as Lu Chen.
...
No matter how horrifying the scene, watching it several times will diminish the immense emotional impact it evokes upon first viewing.
Xia Chuhe stared coldly and numbly at everyone coming and going until Guan Wuji appeared at the door.
Xia Chuhe squeezed Wuhen's hand, making a gesture of raising a knife to her left and right, asking if she could proceed.
He nodded without leaving a trace.
She had already figured out the secret of how the upper echelons resisted supernatural abilities.
Having already caught the snake, she was no longer afraid of alerting it.
Similarly, since she had already caught the largest snake, she no longer needed a snake-catching fork.
