Chapter 179 Jishi Medical University 37
When Yu Naixin analyzed this part from the fragments of the banyan tree spirit youth's memories, she was somewhat speechless.
So you've had so many live animals brought to you, and you're only selectively giving positive feedback to a very small number of people?
Unable to resist recalling how the headless stone Buddha had impartially and wholeheartedly bestowed spiritual power upon everyone, Yu Naixin quickly banished the thought from her mind.
There's simply no comparison.
It can only be said that having a good reputation can really make things twice as effective. Even if people who come to make wishes do not receive any gifts, they will not doubt the efficacy of the young banyan tree spirit, but will blame themselves for not being sincere enough or for not offering good enough sacrifices.
Live chickens, ducks, fish, and other animals were continuously brought in by patients, their families, local residents, and students from all over the country, causing the spiritual power within the young banyan tree spirit to experience an explosive growth.
At this point, the young banyan tree spirit had his own true "believers" to command and control.
Gradually, the young banyan tree spirit's appetite grew larger and larger. Even when someone specially brought a live piglet to be sacrificed, he felt it was far from enough.
The young banyan tree spirit made even bolder attempts.
—He began to demand the blood of these petitioners themselves.
Humans are the most intelligent of all beings, and the spiritual power derived from the life force within the human body is unmatched by any other living creature.
Even a single drop of fresh blood is better than several live chickens, ducks, and fish.
The banyan tree spirit youth specifically chose those with exceptionally urgent desires to ensure a high success rate in obtaining what he asked for.
Sure enough, in the hearts of these desperate people who could only place their hopes on the ethereal gods, Buddhas, and ghosts, as long as their wishes could be fulfilled, what was there to be reluctant about a few drops of blood?
Upon tasting the warm blood willingly offered by believers for the first time, the young banyan tree spirit realized that such a wonderful experience existed in the world, which broadened his horizons and made him unable to resist.
Yu Naixin encountered at least five fragments of memories that mentioned this experience, which accounted for a fairly high proportion.
Even if the young banyan tree spirit bestows a little spiritual power upon each believer who offers their blood as a sacrifice, there will still be a large surplus, making it a sure-fire way to make money.
What followed was a natural progression: desire fueled greed, and the banyan tree spirit youth went from demanding a small amount of blood from believers to extracting large amounts of their blood, eventually reaching the point of taking their lives.
The experience of completely absorbing all the flesh and blood of a human being was incredibly addictive for the young banyan tree spirit.
Anyway, the reputation of the banyan forest for its miraculous efficacy had spread far and wide thanks to the young banyan tree spirit's efforts in managing it. Every day, a steady stream of believers came and went, and the occasional disappearance of a few was not particularly remarkable.
Perhaps those missing children were abducted by human traffickers?
Perhaps those older people are just senile and got lost?
Perhaps those disabled and seriously ill people simply couldn't bear it anymore?
Under the careful selection of the young banyan tree spirit, the disappearance of several believers did not cause any significant ripples in the vast sea of people gathered in the banyan forest.
Even if there are relatives and friends who are determined to pursue the matter relentlessly, without any evidence or clues, it will only add another unsolved mystery to the world.
The young banyan tree spirit cautiously and quietly remained behind the scenes, running his own steady, blood-and-flesh business.
By the time times had changed and modern technology was advanced enough for the police to install more and more surveillance cameras around and inside the banyan forest, the young banyan spirit's spiritual power had grown to a considerable level.
To avoid these surveillance cameras, all the young banyan tree spirit needs to do is move his fingers a little.
Yu Naixin saw the last scene of the banyan tree spirit youth in the outside world. It was when he was about to extend an aerial root, like a venomous snake, to hunt a young child. Suddenly, the world changed color, and the banyan tree spirit youth, who was hiding in the deepest part of the banyan forest, was captured by some force and became a prisoner in the "Heartbeat 1000%" program.
He escaped accountability from the victims' families and criminal authorities, but ultimately could not escape the punishment for his crimes.
Having fully grasped the entire past experiences of the banyan tree spirit youth, Yu Naixin's first thought was that he and the Frankenstein professor were indeed cellmates in the same cage, and there was a reason why they were assigned to the same cell by "that person".
The Frankenstein's monster professor is a true villain, while the banyan tree spirit youth is an outright hypocrite.
Some of Yu Naixin's previous doubts have also been answered. For example, the reason why the banyan tree spirit is socially anxious, doesn't like to show his face, and isn't good at communicating with people is because he has to maintain the lowest possible presence and remain silent alone in the crowd.
Compared to the Frankenstein Professor's aggressive plundering, the Banyan Tree Youth prefers to wait for his prey to come to him.
He is a compassionate and efficacious immortal in the banyan forest, and also the only person the guests on the show "Saving the World Medical University" can turn to for help when they are surrounded and blocked by the Stitched-together professor. He needs to make himself look harmless and approachable.
During the second simulation, the young banyan spirit repeatedly showed his disagreement and procrastination in the face of his own sacrifice. Yu Naixin could roughly guess that it was his habitual hypocrisy, and under her almost resolute initiative, he was somewhat at a loss and developed an escapist mentality.
Ultimately, however, he will follow his heart's desires.
Yu Naixin mentioned that the blood of the banyan tree spirit youth should have been a different color, referring to the greenish sap of his original form, the banyan tree.
However, as he absorbed more and more human blood, his own blood was assimilated, turning into a deep crimson.
Yu Naixin chuckled softly, her eyes full of mockery: "You've already become someone else's sitting duck, yet you, you little bastard, still can't change your ways and keep pretending to be some kind of god. You can even lay hands on a bunch of NPCs, inducing them to become your followers, and in one dungeon show after another, you squeeze the flesh and blood out of your followers time and time again."
[Oh my god! Although the banyan tree spirit's skin is naturally pale from being deprived of sunlight, it looked even paler after "Yao Ling's" words! It even had a faint bluish tinge!]
[“Yao Ling” really knows a lot! Can’t you tell us more? After watching a lot of “Jishi Medical University,” I can deduce some of the past of the banyan tree spirit youths, but I still really want to know more specific and complete details!]
[Don't even think about it. A few days ago, "Yao Ling" only said a few words of relevant information to the Frankenstein's monster professor, and that was enough for the guest on the other side to understand. We, the onlookers, can only guess...]
So, is this time "Yao Ling" also forcibly using a mechanic to gain favor with the Banyan Tree Spirit youth? Like taking a heart out of the freezer and then returning it?
Yu Naixin did indeed do that.
She ignored the increasingly grim expression on the banyan tree spirit's face and focused her attention on the large gap she had cut in the banyan tree.
Extending her right hand, this time, Yu Naixin held not a sharp axe, but a green glow representing vitality.
