Chapter 99: Long-Planned
[Invulnerability to All Poisons] cannot be cast on others, and [Heavenly Water Injury Treatment] cannot cure poisoning, but can only cure injuries and diseases. A new spell must be found.
With his incomparable familiarity with the spell list, Lin Wen quickly found a suitable one.
Rejuvenation
A green spell for the Qi training period, consuming 10% of the spirit, dispelling the effects of poison, disease or curse, and restoring the body's fatigue and damage. The effect is related to the caster's cultivation and good intentions.
Now Lin Wen knows that this good thought does not refer to the spiritual feelings of mortals, but is basically determined by the amount of good karma.
Lin Wen directly used 13 points of good karma to cast this spell.
An invisible green light penetrated Zhao Minggong's body. His breathing slowed down, but the blush on his face did not fade.
What's going on?
Lin Wen immediately looked at Qin Luoshuang, who seemed hesitant. "Has his breathing returned to normal? Am I wrong? But his heart rate is not right, and his vagus nerve is still disturbed."
Lin Wen asked, "Can you see anything?"
Qin Luoshuang looked very frustrated: "I'm sorry, Lin Wen, I, I don't have any professional equipment..."
Lin Wen knew that this might be too difficult for her, so he immediately said, "It's okay, just send them to the hospital." At the same time, he immediately asked [Xianrenzhilu].
What kind of treatment should Wolong Zhao Minggong receive to fully recover?
Consumption: 10% of the soul.
Lin Wen used the spell immediately without any hesitation.
【Dead Tree Revives Spring】
Lin Wen was stunned for ten seconds before realizing that this was the name of a spell.
He immediately flipped through the spell list and saw a color of despair.
【Dead Tree Revives Spring】
A pure black spell of the Soul Stage, with his current Soul strength, consumes 92100% of the Soul, nourishes, restores, and rejuvenates the body over a long period of time, cures all injuries, delays exhaustion, reverses aging, and restores the spirit body to a limited extent, lasting for 921 days in this world.
The amount of this spell converted into good karma casting is simply astronomical.
On the way to the hospital, Lin Wen stayed by Zhao Minggong's side and remained silent.
Qin Luoshuang was also in a very low mood. She had just learned from the Supervisory Office that Lin Wen had been assassinated, and she rushed over immediately. Unexpectedly, she still failed to prevent the tragedy from happening.
She originally thought that Yu Zhongxian and Lai Juncheng would not be so incompetent as to use the Council of Advocates to deal with a mere county governor, and even risk the wrath of the empire by using heavy firearms and chemical weapons to murder senior imperial officials.
This is a forbidden area in the entire empire.
The use of thermal and chemical weapons is even more forbidden.
In recent years, although the empire has become darker and the struggles between political parties have become more intense, the means of dealing with senior officials have actually tended to be more peaceful. Some people have even publicly proposed that battles between superiors should be elegant, and even invented some "competitions" and "gambling fights".
The county governor has undoubtedly become one of the so-called "superior people". In the upper-level politics of the empire, the county governor is the cornerstone and cannot be killed at will.
Under the county magistrate, they are quasi-"superior people" and can barely be considered as substitutes. Except for people like Lin Wen who have the power of command, they generally cannot be punished at will.
Under the mayor, he is just a small official, not very important, but he cannot be too excessive.
Those below that are no longer considered “officials” but clerks, and are not protected.
As for the "people", the empire does not care much. As long as stability can be maintained and large-scale civil unrest does not occur, it basically will not care.
The empire is the most typical system of accountability to superiors. The governor is the highest official of a state and is in charge of all affairs. As long as he can handle it, his subordinates can kill or burn people without any problem.
But at the same time, all the sins of his subordinates will become his weaknesses, making him vulnerable to attack in joint meetings, headquarters meetings, and supreme elders meetings.
Similarly, the county magistrate is the highest official in a county, especially one like Lin Wen who has the power of military governorship, who can almost be called a small governor, and is responsible for all affairs in the county.
Similarly, all the sins of his subordinates will become his weaknesses that make him vulnerable to attacks in the Governor's Meeting, Joint Meeting, and Headquarters Meeting.
Therefore, Yu Zhongxian's simple assassination of Lin Wen was a meaningless act. Apart from bringing him uncontrollable risks, it did not bring much benefit.
What he should have done was to plunge Changshan County into collapse and chaos, and collect enough negative information to bring down Lin Wen and criticize him at the joint meeting.
The more he despised and corrupted he was, the greater the damage he would cause to Sheng Huaixuan. Since his power as governor mainly came from the governor's power, the damage could be doubled.
Therefore, this kind of assassination without any bottom line is incomprehensible, and there may be other reasons behind it.
Her eagerness to form the County Governor's Guard was more out of caution and concern that Lin Wen's subordinates might be instigated or kidnapped.
Now it seemed that its importance far exceeded even the worst-case scenario she had imagined.
It must be established as soon as possible.
Qin Luoshuang made up her mind secretly.
We must never let this happen again.
After arriving at the First Hospital, all poisoned people were sent to the emergency room.
Lin Wen was guarding outside.
Qin Luoshuang went to the Supervisory Office. In addition to asking the Supervisory Guards to collect all evidence, she also had to direct them to set up guards, strengthen defenses, and protect important officials. Although they were not professionals, they could at least share some of the pressure.
Not long after, the medical team led by the dean and director walked out of the emergency room.
"County Chief Lin, the others are recovering well. We've added more precise and detailed medications. With good care, they'll be discharged soon without any sequelae. But Deputy County Chief Zhao..."
Lin Wen's face was gloomy. "Just tell me directly. Tell me everything. Don't hide anything."
The dean said in a low voice, "He was poisoned for far too long, at least six hours, causing irreversible damage to his central nervous system. The subsequent secondary poisoning was extremely fatal. His survival and recovery are a medical miracle. We've exhausted all available resources, but his prognosis remains extremely grim. He may only have a few months left."
Lin Wen suddenly lost his temper. "Aren't you very advanced in biotechnology? Isn't your medical technology very advanced? Why doesn't it work on me?"
The dean's face turned pale and he whispered, "Chief Lin, we still haven't been able to conquer the human brain's central nervous system..."
"I don't care! I just want to ask you, is there any hospital in this world that can save him?"
The dean lowered his head and said after a long while: "Chief Lin, please accept my condolences..."
Lin Wen turned and left.
Uncontrollable anger burned in his heart, not only towards those demons, but more towards himself.
Why didn't I kill them earlier!
Why do I have to wait until my soul is fully recovered?
Why didn't I see this coming?
I am the damn all-powerful County Chief Lin.
As Lin Wen walked out of the First Hospital's gate, a little girl, held by her mother's hand, suddenly shouted, "Mom! Mom! Look, that big brother's hands are bleeding!"
The mother turned her head, but only saw Lin Wen's figure disappearing into the darkness and blood dripping all the way.
