Chapter 84: Incense
Shen Mianmian, Su Cong, Bai Qi and Xi Shan were not the only people in the health center.
The three busiest places in the town are the greenhouse vegetable garden, the stall outside Mo Fei's house, and the health center.
Although almost all the people in Hexi Town are physically enhanced psychics, they are bound to get injured in fights when going out hunting or exploring, or have a headache or stomach discomfort after eating the wrong mutant animals. Almost every day, someone comes to Shen Mianmian for treatment.
These people came and went, and there were so many eyes watching them, which invisibly restricted Bai Qi and Xi Shan's freedom. This made Mo Fei and Lin Jiyuan feel much more at ease.
Bai Qi is especially so, because he is gentle and polite to others, his smile is always relaxed and comfortable, and he can give some positive feedback when appropriate. He is really a perfect listener, so there are always people around Bai Qi who chat with him.
When Mo Fei came over with the food, he saw Bai Qi, who had changed into a black and gold down jacket, setting up a ladder and hitting the ice on the high ground with a black halberd. There were two people beside the ladder helping him hold it down to prevent him from slipping.
"Bai Qi." Mo Fei shouted when he got closer.
"You're here." Bai Qi turned around and smiled at Mo Fei. At the same time, the huge ice spike was knocked down by him and smashed heavily on the ground.
The temperature has been rising rapidly recently, and the ice and snow are melting everywhere, but the ice spikes on high places can easily fall and hit people at this time. Bai Qi thought of this and took precautions in advance.
When Bai Qi retreated five steps on the ladder, he jumped off the ladder directly. He stood steadily on the ground and did not forget to thank the person who helped him hold up the ladder.
Mo Fei knew both of them, one was called Ye Zi and the other was called Lao Xu, both were Level 2 superpowers. The former had the superpower of agility and speed, while the latter's superpower was more complicated and related to house construction.
Lao Xu used to be a migrant worker and had worked in the city for nearly 20 years. Unexpectedly, the supernatural power he awakened after the natural disaster was also related to his old profession. His supernatural power can not only repair the damaged parts of the house, but also add some defensiveness.
By the way, the houses in the town where people live now are all protected by Lao Xu who used his supernatural powers day and night, so even during a blizzard or natural disaster, no house collapsed.
Old Xu exaggerated to Mo Fei: "I originally went to see Doctor Shen to check my arm today, and then Bai Qi said that this health center is built so high, and he was afraid that something might happen if the ice melted. He is really careful."
Ye Zi also nodded: "Yes, if it wasn't for Brother Bai, who would have thought of this. This clinic has people coming and going every day, and if anyone gets hit like this, it's no joke."
The two of them left together after they finished talking. Today was a good day, and they had agreed to go fishing in the river outside the town. After the riverbed thawed, the fish in the glacier all came out like a market, and if they went fishing at this time, they would definitely catch a large basin of fish.
Mo Fei watched them go away with a smile on her face, thinking that these two people were just like Bai Qi's shills. But they were not wrong. Bai Qi's action was full of goodwill and there was nothing wrong with it. If this continued, even she would doubt whether she was too suspicious.
Obviously she is my savior, but she is so defensive, which is disheartening.
Thinking of this, Mo Fei, who felt a little guilty, softened his tone: "You still need to recover for a while. You can tell us to do these things we didn't expect. But Ran Bing and Jia Yue are both very good at dealing with ice, so you don't have to do this."
"A Fei and I are friends, and it's just a piece of cake. It's really impolite for A Fei to say that." Bai Qi pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly to look at Mo Fei. He was clearly in a low mood, but there was still a faint smile on his face.
"No, no, I made some food and brought it to you. It's windy outside, let's go in first." Mo Fei explained quickly and turned his head away.
She could clearly feel that Bai Qi had no psychic powers, but she still couldn't help but be distracted by his smile.
Bai Qi is obviously polite to everyone, and seems to be able to get along well with everyone, and his interpersonal relationships are flawless. But such people are often the most indifferent and alienated.
Such a person treats himself differently.
He called her by her nickname, saved her time and again, and even his smile and tone seemed extra warm.
Mo Fei knew that her appearance was just above average, her personality was neither good nor bad, and the only abilities she displayed to the outside world were her hearing and a twenty-meter protection circle. There was no reason for Bai Qi to risk his life for her.
Mo Fei vaguely felt that all of Bai Qi's calm and composed appearances might be a disguise. What exactly was he seeking? Was he seeking her as a person, or something in her?
At this moment, Mo Fei's mind was full of thoughts.
Bai Qi didn't know what she was thinking, but the smile on his face deepened a little, and he took the basket from Mo Fei: "Let's go."
"Okay." Mo Fei responded hesitantly, and walked behind Bai Qi two steps behind.
Mo Fei arrived at the right time, as the treatment on the second floor had not yet begun.
Xi Shan was still in his room with the door locked, and no one knew what he was doing.
Shen Mianmian was making preparations in the ward - a pile of B-level crystal cores for Xishan to absorb and replenish his superpowers during treatment. These crystal cores were provided by Mo Fei and Lin Jiyuan, who were rich in crystal cores. It seemed that there were at least a hundred of them.
This amount is enough for the two level 2 psychics in the town to upgrade to level 3.
"You're here!" Shen Mianmian was standing next to Su Cong, and when she heard the footsteps, she turned around quickly.
"Ji Yuan had something to do today, so I came here by myself." Because Lin Ji Yuan would always come to watch over the patient during previous treatments, Mo Fei explained a little more.
After a few days of treatment, Su Cong not only grew his legs back, but also regained his sight. He was completely different from the one Mo Fei saw in the snow.
Moreover, his pair of slender lead-gray eyes were particularly beautiful, which made his already handsome face even more superior.
Su Cong looked at Mo Fei, and the corners of his eyes slightly raised. Since he couldn't speak yet, he expressed his gratitude to Mo Fei. As for Bai Qi, who he didn't know very well but had saved Mo Fei, Su Cong also nodded politely.
Shen Mianmian noticed something different in Mo Fei's words: "Sister Mo, why do I remember you were still Lin Jiyuan and Lin Jiyuan before, but now you're just Jiyuan in just a few days? When did you two get together behind our backs?"
"Really? You must have heard it wrong. I was calling Lin Jiyuan." Mo Fei said calmly.
Neither Mo Fei nor Lin Jiyuan are high-profile people.
Even though they have expressed their feelings to each other, they still live their lives as usual, one of them has to take care of his brother, the other has to take care of his family, and there is no change in reality. So they don't plan to make it public.
But Mo Fei didn't expect that Shen Mianmian was so meticulous that he could actually see the clues from the change in the address.
There was a smile in Su Cong's eyes, and it seemed that he knew everything about this matter.
Only Bai Qi turned his back and took out several food boxes from the basket, as if he didn't hear anything and didn't join in their conversation.
“Okay, okay, if you say it’s not, then it’s not.” Shen Mianmian said with regret, “I don’t know who in our town is so lucky to marry Sister Mo.”
Mo Fei was ashamed: "Why do you sound like my dad?"
Shen Mianmian has been in town for a long time, and often eats at the Mo family. She can already imitate Mo Zhicheng's tone perfectly: "Let me learn. Ahem... You are not young anymore, you still need to find someone to keep you company. I think Xiaolin next door is good."
"Who is Xiao Lin next door?" Xi Shan from next door came over, smelling the fragrance of food.
Mo Fei didn't know if it was his illusion, but he felt that he suddenly smelled a hint of blood in the room filled with the smell of medicine.
As soon as Xi Shan came into the ward, no one spoke, and Xi Shan didn't care about being treated coldly.
He casually picked up the food box closest to him, opened the lid and took a look. Inside were sizzling, slightly browned sausages, steaming Cantonese-style tender yellow steamed buns, and a bottle of hot soy milk in a milk tea bottle.
"The Cantonese-style steamed dumplings I made today have 40% fat and 60% lean pork, and I added shrimp and straw mushrooms. The skin is made by mixing egg liquid with flour and then adding corn flour. It tastes fresh and chewy. Try it while it's hot, it won't taste good if it's cold." Mo Fei introduced.
Her craftsmanship is beyond words.
Even Xi Shan, who had been picky and resentful since arriving in town, ate everything in the lunch box and burped inelegantly at the end.
"Okay, everyone out, please." Xi Shan's tone was still bad after he had eaten, and he said impatiently.
Mo Fei frowned and said, "I mentioned before that we can be there while Su Cong is being treated."
This was indeed what Lin Jiyuan and Xi Shan had agreed on before. When Xi Shan completely cured Su Cong, Lin Jiyuan would not only send Xi Shan back to the base intact, but also add 2 additional A-level crystal cores to the previous reward.
Xi Shan choked up and said, "I only said that one person can accompany you. You can choose who to stay."
The person who stayed behind was undoubtedly Mo Fei.
Although Shen Mianmian wanted to stay, she only had healing abilities and could not protect herself, let alone Su Cong.
Not to mention Bai Qi. Although he has strong attack power, he is not from the town.
Mo Fei asked the two of them to leave, and he stayed in the ward with Su Cong to receive treatment.
After the door of the ward was closed, even the windows were blocked by small curtains. Shen Mianmian and Bai Qi were standing outside the door waiting and did not go far.
Today is the last round of treatment. After this round, Su Cong will be able to regain the ability to speak and become a completely normal person.
Even if he didn't have super powers, life would be much easier.
Moreover, Mo Fei believed that if Su Cong was given some ancient well water and space water regularly, it might stimulate Su Cong's special abilities.
Thinking of this, Mo Fei stared at Xi Shan's movements almost intently, but the treatment process was slower than she had imagined. And the process was also very boring.
Xi Shan concentrated all his supernatural powers in his hands with an expressionless face, keeping his body in one position.
Su Cong closed his eyes slightly, concentrating the external force on his mouth and tongue.
In a trance, Su Cong suddenly felt that the part of memory that was lost in his mind suddenly flashed through several fragments.
A familiar face, a familiar person.
It was he who stripped away his own supernatural powers with his own hands, chopped off his own legs, pulled out the nails on his hands, and finally gouged out the eyes that were glaring at him.
Su Cong also remembered clearly what the man said to her at the end: "You are too stubborn."
Yindian...
This sudden memory disturbed Su Cong's mind.
Su Cong suddenly understood why he, as an ordinary person without superpowers, had such a huge sea of consciousness, which was even enough to make Lin Jiye lost and almost unable to get out. That was because his superpowers were stripped away. So the huge sea of consciousness treated Lin Jiye as a new superpower crystal core, trying to wrap him up and melt him...
Mo Fei stood up and pointed at Su Cong, who was sweating profusely and had pale lips, and asked, "What happened to him?"
Xi Shan glanced at Mo Fei lightly, and said in a very strange tone: "I don't know, why don't you give him some of the water you used to cook and try?"
Mo Fei raised his head and looked at Xi Shan expressionlessly: "This is why you agreed to come out with us for treatment, right?"
In fact, the space water she used for cooking was diluted, but even so it could not hide the extremely pure energy contained in it.
To say that it is energy that originates from the same source as the crystal core, it's not quite like that.
But if you take it for a long time, your ability will upgrade more than ten times faster than others. It can even stimulate your ability to a certain extent.
After all, these people in the town have been drinking the ancient well water for a long time, which is not as effective as the space water, and finally they all became superpowers. Now almost most of them have level 2 or 3 superpowers.
Lin Jiye and the others who have been with Mo Fei and the others for a long time will become level 4 psychics after today.
It's obvious that Xi Shan is a person who pursues the strongest, so it's normal for him to be moved by this.
Xi Shan did not comment, but spoke for a long time: "Of course. I heard that there is a person in the base whose ability is to predict the future. We all call him the Prophet. He once made a prophecy, saying that a woman with a treasure that can increase the speed of superpowers tenfold will appear in the natural disaster. Lao Zhou, when your master introduced you to me, I guessed that this woman is either you or related to you. But it is indeed very attractive that you can get the S-level crystal core."
"If you can cure Su Cong, I can give you a few buckets of space water." Mo Fei looked at Xi Shan and offered his conditions.
"Do you think I risked my life to come here with you just for a few barrels?" Xi Shan laughed contemptuously, as if mocking Mo Fei's childish idea.
During their conversation, Su Cong kept his eyes closed, as if he was immersed in his own world and oblivious to the outside world.
Mo Fei glanced outside the door: "I advise you not to act rashly, they are both outside the door."
"You should take a look at what's on the wall."
Mo Fei: “…”
Xi Shan was indeed well prepared. There were a few Taoist charms of the same type she had bought before posted on the wall. They were probably used for soundproofing or hallucinations.
No matter how noisy it is inside, it looks peaceful and harmonious from the outside.
Thinking that Su Cong was still under Xi Shan's control, Mo Fei controlled his temper and said, "You should cure Su Cong first. We can discuss what you want."
Xi Shan didn't hesitate: "Give me your space."
Mo Fei asked in surprise: "My space is my ability, how can I give it to you? And even if you kill me, the things in my space will explode, but the water source you want most will also be exhausted, and you will still get nothing."
No one except Mo Fei knew that her space was related to an iron pot, so in Xi Shan's eyes, Mo Fei was a space ability user. Hearing her question, he had no doubts: "None of your business."
Xi Shan was very cautious and didn't want to say much.
Mo Fei suddenly felt weak in her limbs, and her eyelids almost drooped together: "You..."
"Go to sleep." Xi Shan squatted in front of Mo Fei, with a weird and ferocious smile on his face.
And this incense that could only make people fall asleep peacefully did not trigger Mo Fei's law of space.
Mo Fei fell to the ground.
