Chapter 141 The Unexpected Effects of Sesame Powder
The treatment room was large, about 30 square meters, with only a large bed inside. The surroundings were spotless and looked very clean, like a sterile room.
Xiao Bai placed Pan Duole on the bed, and Madam Gu said, "Stop using your ice magic!"
Xiao Bai nodded, raised one hand, and made a grasping motion in the air. Zuo Shan heard a series of "crackling" sounds of ice breaking, and the bed was immediately covered with ice shards.
The next second, he waved his hand at the ice shards, and they turned into a stream that disappeared into his palm.
This scene looked so amazing that Zuo Shan couldn't help but whisper, "Xiao Bai, what level is your superpower?"
"Uh... sixth rank." Mortiland's face flushed slightly. He wasn't good at lying, but fortunately, Little White's mask covered up his blush.

In the central square, Matt, who had been abandoned in District 40, finally found Chi Zhengyang, a local bigwig in District 40, and asked him to send a third-level speed ability user. It took them more than three hours to finally arrive in District 48.
Then I saw him, having exhausted his superpowers, sitting pitifully in a corner of the square, looking utterly hopeless.
"Where is the master?" Matt shouted anxiously.
"Waaaaah! The master is so heartless! He abandoned me, his subordinate who has lost his fighting ability, and ran away all by himself! Waaaaah!" Mina cried, her eyes brimming with tears.
Matt had no interest in listening to her complaints. He immediately deployed his mental network and began searching for the adult's whereabouts throughout District 48.
Soon, he found the adult's whereabouts in a large courtyard not far from the central square.
Then, I overheard Miss Zuo Shan's conversation with the master, and the master was clearly lying!
Sixth rank?! How dare a peak ninth-rank ability user say he's only sixth rank?
Matt desperately wanted to rush up to Miss Zuo Shan and expose his family's lies, but he didn't dare.
“Mina, why don’t we find a place to rest for a bit? Anyway, the Lord doesn’t need us right now. Nobody knows his whereabouts, and no one in the entire 48th District could possibly harm him,” Matt suggested.
“But shouldn’t we protect the master closely?” Mina hesitated. The master could ruthlessly abandon her as his subordinate, but she had to remain loyal to him at all times.
“I guess the master doesn’t want us to show up right now, otherwise it would expose his identity,” Matt said.
“Let’s call him ‘Young Master’ just like last time. Who would guess his true identity?” Mina said.
"Young Master just lied to Miss Zuo, saying that his superpower was only at the sixth level. Miss Zuo is easy to fool, of course, but there is also a healing-type old lady next to us who is at a higher level than me. As soon as we appear, she will immediately guess that Young Master's identity is extraordinary."
"After all, even the young masters of most prominent families don't have the qualifications to have the two of us as their subordinates," Matt said.
“Okay then, but where should we rest?” Mina asked.
"Why don't we go wait at Miss Zuo's house? Young Master will definitely take Miss Zuo home after he's done," Matt said.
"Finished? Finished what? Young Master wouldn't be so beastly as to do that to Miss Zuo, a pregnant woman, would he?" Mina's eyes widened, her golden-brown eyes filled with excitement.
Matt: Why are you so eager for the young master to become a beast? Your values are so warped!
Mina: Ever since I became the young master's subordinate, I haven't heard a single rumor about him. Now that the young master has taken a fancy to a pregnant woman who is a scavenger, how can she not be bursting with curiosity?
Matt helped Mina to the vicinity of Zuo Shan's house and found that the courtyard wall had collapsed, and two sheds erected in the corner of the wall had also collapsed, but none of the three houses had collapsed.
It turns out that when Xiao Bao had nothing to do, he used the pile of scrap metal in the yard to inlay wrought iron carvings on the interior walls of each room.
It's no exaggeration to say that Xiao Bao's welding skills are unparalleled, because he molds them directly from liquid metal, leaving no gaps whatsoever.
Such wrought iron carvings inlaid on the inner wall greatly increase the stability and load-bearing capacity of the wall.
As a result, most of the surrounding houses collapsed, but the three houses of the Zuo family remained as solid as a rock.
Matt used his mental powers to unlock the door, then helped Mina inside to rest, while he wandered around the house looking for something to eat.
The cupboard contained only some leftover roasted soybean powder and dried vegetables, a small bottle of salt, and a small bottle of the same kind of numbing-smelling sesame powder they had seen before.
I stored the other food items in my storage space because I was worried they would spoil in the hot weather.
Exhausted and hungry, Matt and Mina really didn't want to drink the nutritional supplements, so they decided to make a bowl of bean flour and wild vegetable paste with the ingredients they had on hand.
There was hot water, and the thermos was made by Xiaobao based on the structure of the thermos he found. The heat retention is excellent.
Matt prepared the bean flour and wild vegetable paste, and of course, he didn't forget to sprinkle salt and sesame powder. Salt is not a rare commodity, but this sesame powder is a special seasoning that can't be found anywhere else.
His hand trembled and he spilled a little too much, making the smell a bit pungent. But he certainly couldn't bear to waste such a precious seasoning, so he gave one bamboo basin each to himself and Mina.
Aside from being a little numbing, the overall taste was actually not bad, so the two of them wolfed it down.
Not long after finishing his meal, Matt sensed something was wrong. Before he could figure out what was happening, his whole body went numb, and he swayed and fell to the ground from his chair.
Before losing consciousness, he saw Mina follow in his footsteps and collapse on the ground on the other side.
Having completely forgotten about his two subordinates, Mortilan was now intently watching Madam Gu treat Pandora.
Zuo Shan was so nervous that he even held his breath, afraid of disturbing the treatment.
When Madam Gu's supernatural abilities entered Pan Duole's body, she was so shocked she almost cried out.
The little girl's blood vessel walls were covered with dense, creeping roots, clearly intending to suck her blood and use it as nourishment to grow stronger.
Madam Gu couldn't understand how the little girl had survived under such circumstances. She had seemed perfectly healthy when she had met her before.
No wonder that little white guy used ice to freeze her body. If he hadn't frozen her body, those roots would have probably drained the little girl dry long ago.
In reality, if it were to drain her dry, she would simply die. However, this mutated plant clearly intended to use her as a host. Once it took control of her brain, the little girl would become a true vegetable.
She has no thoughts of her own and all her actions are directed by this mutated plant; the food she eats also becomes its nutrients.
The problem now is that her special ability is healing, which cannot kill this mutated plant at all. She can only try to activate the little girl's own special ability and rely on her own strength to completely kill this mutated plant once and for all.
However, the little girl had clearly overdrawn her powers. During the time she was recovering her powers, she definitely couldn't let Xiaobai continue to freeze her body. Otherwise, the mutated plant would have enough time to drain her dry and completely take control of her brain.
"Is there any way to put this mutated plant inside the little girl into a deep sleep while she recovers her powers?" Old Madam Gu muttered to herself.
"Can't we use an anesthetic?" Zuo Shan asked.
“Unless general anesthesia is used, the anesthetic will not achieve the effect of general anesthesia. General anesthesia will inevitably paralyze her brain and cause her to fall into a coma,” said Madam Gu.
“I have a kind of sesame powder that can be applied directly to the skin. I have tried it before. When I applied it to my fingers, my fingers became immobile.”
Zuo Shan had a sudden inspiration and remembered that when she was grinding sesame powder with a grinder, she had accidentally spilled some on the table. Of course, she couldn't bear to waste such a precious seasoning, so she used two fingers to pick up the sesame powder from the table little by little and put it into the bottle.
After repeating this process more than ten times, the sesame powder that had spilled on the table was finally collected into the bottle, but her two fingers were so numb that she couldn't move them.
"You actually have something like this? We can give it a try, but if the effect is too poor, we'll have to freeze her first and then think of other methods."
Madam Gu's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. She had never heard of or used this kind of sesame powder, and couldn't be sure if it could achieve the effect that Zuo Shan had described.
