Chapter 21 Mysterious Methods
"Grandma, why did you go ask Lin Jin? What's wrong with her?"
In the treatment room, Shen Lingyu changed two pieces of gauze and continued to apply pressure to the wound. The plate in front of him was already filled with a pile of gauze stained red with blood.
There was still an IV hanging on her left arm. In just a few minutes, her face turned from rosy to pale, and she looked extremely weak.
Shen Peirong hurriedly took out a piece of ginseng from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, letting her hold it under her tongue.
"I think that child is a little weird. Who would squat in the bushes and secretly look at the Human-Faced Stone? Not to mention that I met her again this time. It's impossible for such a coincidence to happen."
Shen Lingyu spoke with more energy after holding a ginseng slice in her mouth, "Didn't Lin Jin say that she was selling grilled sausages at a stall? It should be normal for her to frequently wander around various scenic spots, right?"
"Laolin Mountain caught us off guard because of its sudden popularity, but Kongping Mountain is a local attraction in Anshi. This may be a regular stall location."
Although she also felt it was a bit strange, for now, apart from the frequent encounters, there didn't seem to be anything else worthy of too much attention.
Maybe the other party also thought they were strange, not only did they meet by chance in the mountains, but now they met by chance in the hospital.
Shen Peirong still remained skeptical.
Her intuition has always been pretty accurate, especially after becoming the deputy director of the Special Intelligence Bureau, she has become even more perceptive about everything.
Lin Jin made her feel like she was detecting some wood molecules, but when she tested her just now, she found that there was nothing abnormal with the high-precision Five Elements Mysterious Instrument Disk.
That's strange, could it be that she is really overthinking?
"Bang!"
“Grandma Shen, are you guys okay?”
Chi Yan pushed the door open hastily and rushed to Shen Lingyu's side anxiously.
She looked at Shen Lingyu's injured right arm and her eyes turned red instantly.
"Fish roe, are you okay?"
Lu Ming, who was following behind her, twitched his eyes and almost fell.
Fish roe? What kind of weird name is that?
Shen Lingyu said vaguely with a ginseng slice in his mouth: “Bubbles are okay, don’t worry.”
Chi Yan was worried, so she touched Shen Lingyu from head to toe. Only when she found that she had no other injuries except the wound on her arm that was bleeding profusely did she believe it halfway.
"You scared me to death, did you know that? When I heard that you were injured, I wanted to fly over from Beijing right away."
Shen Lingyu spit out the ginseng slices, smiled at her and comforted her, "I'm fine, it's just that things were a bit risky today, you must be scared!"
Chi Yan picked up the ginseng slices and stuffed them back into her mouth, glaring at her. "You're not just scared, I almost lost my soul."
Lu Ming behind her added silently, "After receiving the call, Chi Yan was so anxious that he couldn't wait for the flight route to be approved and almost flew here himself."
Shen Lingyu touched Chi Yan's head and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It won't be like this next time."
"There will be a next time! You really cause me a lot of worry." Chi Yan scolded and put the small suitcase she brought on the table.
Seeing this, Shen Peirong took the initiative to guard the door and used her body to block the gap in the door and the window.
Chi Yan and Lu Ming turned off the lights in the room together and cut off all power supplies to ensure that the surveillance failed before taking action.
When the gauze was removed, a stream of blood instantly oozed out of the wound.
Lu Ming quickly placed the box next to Shen Lingyu's hand and entered the password to open it.
Chi Yan stretched out her index and middle fingers and took out a piece of talisman paper. She placed the talisman paper vertically on the tip of her nose and muttered something.
"If you don't want to flow, then don't flow. Go."
As soon as the words fell, the yellow talisman paper covered with cinnabar suddenly caught fire.
The cinnabar words were burned by a slow fire, and a wisp of black smoke floated out from the talisman paper.
Shen Lingyu stretched out his arm, and the wisp of black smoke automatically floated near the wound.
Lu Ming took out a stick wrapped in several pieces of talisman paper from the box and guided the black smoke to float above Shen Lingyu's arm.
The black smoke slowly wrapped around the stick and fell into the flesh under guidance.
Two puffs.
Shen Lingyu suddenly felt a burning sensation in his arm.
The black smoke penetrated into the flesh and blood, and the transparent substance remaining in the wound was immediately wrapped by the black smoke.
The two were entangled in the flesh, Shen Lingyu gritted his teeth and endured the pain, watching them fight inside.
It seemed that the black smoke had the upper hand, and in less than a minute, the movement of the transparent substance gradually weakened.
The blood on the wound slowly stopped and no longer flowed out.
The transparent substance was corroded and melted bit by bit by the black smoke until the wound stopped bleeding and the substance was completely corroded.
After cleaning up the dirt, the black smoke dissipated into the flesh and blood.
Shen Lingyu suddenly felt the irritability in her body ease, and then an itch attacked her arm, and the dizziness that surrounded her since she came down from the mountain was wiped out.
Lu Ming hurriedly sprinkled a bottle of hemostatic powder on the wound, then put clean gauze on it and tied it up with tape.
Chi Yan wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, his body suddenly becoming very weak. "Fortunately, we can still handle it, otherwise, a Class A case would be a headache."
Shen Peirong also felt relieved. Although she acted as if she wasn't worried at all, she was the only one who knew that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
It was the first time that my granddaughter was attacked by an A-level monster. Fortunately, Xuanmen was able to deal with it. If they couldn’t deal with it, my granddaughter would probably have to have her limbs amputated.
Shen Peirong turned on the light again and the room was bright again. She left the door and glanced at Shen Lingyu. Seeing that her face had returned to its rosy color, she stuffed a piece of ginseng into each of her and Chi Yan's pockets.
"Paopao, thanks to you guys today, luckily you are all still in Jing City."
Chi Yan held the ginseng slices in his mouth and cleaned up the burning ashes.
“Grandma Shen, please don’t say that. I am a special consultant to the Special Intelligence Bureau after all. If there is any problem, you can use me at will.”
Shen Peirong thanked Lu Ming again: "Thank you, young man. We still have to stay in Anshi tonight to deal with the follow-up situation. How about you stay here for one night and go back with us tomorrow?"
Lu Ming had no objection. He had nothing to do and was even more than happy to go on a business trip at public expense.
Chi Yan had no objection either.
She and Shen Lingyu hadn't seen each other for a long time. Now that they finally met in the city, they naturally wanted to have a good night.
The biggest crisis was resolved, and Chi Yan and Lu Ming asked about the incident out of curiosity.
After hearing that the roots of the human-faced tree had turned into dry branches, both of them gasped.
“So weird! Are you sure it’s the real thing? Could it be a barb?” Lu Ming curled up his index finger.
Shen Peirong: "It is certain that the dry branch is definitely the root of the human-faced tree, but it may not be as powerful as we imagined. It is not even A-level, and it is probably C-level at most."
She told them how the human-faced tree roots used light bulbs to deceive people. The two of them laughed, and the tension in their bodies slowly dissipated, and they felt much more relaxed.
Since the establishment of the Special Situations Bureau, it has never encountered an A-level incident. The two of them had written suicide notes before coming here today, thinking that they might not be able to return alive.
Now it seems that it was just a false alarm, so it is worth celebrating.
Several people were chatting happily in the room, and they didn't notice a flash of light next to their hands. Then the light fell to the ground, floated out through the ventilation duct and disappeared.
