Chapter 78 Fungal Remains Frenzy 39 "I knocked them unconscious."...
Deng Erhuai trembled all over, his gaze hesitantly turning to the prop in his hand. He wanted to give it to Nanmen Jue, but he knew without a closer look what would happen if Nanmen Jue's injuries were doubled.
Suddenly, Nanmen Jue's sharp, bright eyes, like those of a hawk, fixed on her. Deng Erhuai recalled Nanmen Jue's various crazy and outrageous behaviors in her mind, and subconsciously hid the prop behind her back.
"What is that?" Nanmen Jue asked hoarsely.
Deng Erhuai hesitated.
"If that's something that can kill Cheng Xiuye, hand it over now! I'll pay any price to get it back!" Nanmen Jue's tone became anxious. "He swapped my rank; I'm a Gold Rank now. It'll be much harder to kill him in the future!"
Upon hearing her words, everyone's pupils constricted. They finally understood why Cheng Xiuye had made Na Menjue look so disheveled—it turned out he had stolen Nanmen Jue's level!
On the other side, Xiao Nuo's flight speed noticeably slowed down, and dark red bloodstains appeared on its black feathers. Nanmen Jue wasn't sure if it would be in real danger in this space, but she absolutely didn't want anything to happen to it. She became increasingly anxious, "What are you still hesitating for!"
"No." Deng Erhuai gritted his teeth, retreating step by step in the face of Nanmen Jue's piercing gaze. "You'll die if you use it!"
Nanmen Jue understood her concerns, and his tone softened slightly, "I won't die."
If I hadn't seen the madness in her eyes, I might have actually been fooled by her.
Seeing that Deng Erhuai still refused, Nanmen Jue's eyes flickered, and he actually walked towards Deng Erhuai.
She was covered in blood, like a demon under the moon. Deng Erhuai kept retreating. Just when Nanmen Jue was about to lose patience, she heard the sound of a large bird flapping its wings behind her. She turned around abruptly and saw that Yu Wanyan had returned. She soared down from the sky, grabbed Cheng Xiuye's arm, and pulled him up.
Before leaving, she winked at Nanmen Jue.
"I've been thinking about it, and of course, you're not as handsome as you are with a gold name. I'll wait for you to become a gold name again, Brother Jue!"
She took off with Cheng Xiuye, who was still in a frenzied state, while Nanmen Jue stood still.
The two left just like that, which was hard to believe. The three looked at each other in disbelief. After a long while, Wei Chongru asked softly, "It's... over?"
"It seems... to be over," Lu Yunxiao replied in a hoarse voice.
Nanmen Jue swayed twice and then knelt down on the ground.
"South Gate!"
"Brother Nanmen!"
The three rushed to Nanmen Jue's side. Nanmen Jue clutched his chest, closed his eyes, and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turning even paler.
"Brother Nanmen..." Wei Chongru's voice trembled slightly, "I just used up all the healing items I brought in. Do you have any more?"
The other two have also used up theirs.
Faced with orange-named individuals, they could only do their utmost to avoid being killed.
"It's nothing," Nanmen Jue said softly, wiping his lips with his hand.
Her most serious injury was the slit in her throat. She immediately used almost all the green healing items she had on her to treat it, which is why she didn't die. The blood she's vomiting now is just a side effect of the accumulated items.
As for the others, none of them are fatal.
She composed herself, stood up, and walked towards the crow that had fallen to the ground. The crow's belly rose and fell slightly. When it saw Nanmen Jue coming over, it weakly raised its small black bean eyes and glanced at her.
Nanmen Jue picked it up, then picked up the glasses that had rolled to the ground. Remembering the name she had seen earlier, she put them back on.
"Hey, that!"
The others were shocked. Cheng Xiuye's eyes had been ruptured because of this thing, and Nanmen Jue actually dared to wear it on his eyes!
Actually, it doesn't matter. She was attracted by the traces left by a user, not by binding or using it, so this thing won't grow on her eyes.
Nanmen Jue wanted to explain, but her throat was still hoarse, and the sentence was too long for her to say easily, so she didn't explain.
She put on her glasses and looked at them; sure enough, the interface had gone dark, and the glasses had returned to an unattended state.
Nanmen Jue let out a cold laugh.
She led the three back to the survivors. Compared to her own place, the battlefield here was much milder. There were no deaths, only some injuries, which finally allowed Nanmen Jue to relax.
She didn't want anyone else to die because of her.
Hao Hong limped toward them. Facing the old man, Nanmen Jue felt a mix of emotions. She neither left nor spoke, but simply gazed at him silently.
Hao Hong approached, and his first action was to tremblingly grasp Nanmen Jue's shoulders, look her up and down, and say in a trembling voice, "Quick, come here, we have a doctor and medicine."
Nanmen Jue looked at him for a moment and said, "No need for a doctor, just give me a medicine box."
"That won't do!" Hao Hong refused.
"Have you forgotten what my sister does?" Nanmen Jue smiled slightly. "I am a doctor myself."
Hao Hong and the three reincarnators fell silent. The four of them stared at Nanmen Jue in astonishment, struggling to reconcile their two sets of perceptions.
Nanmen Jue's older sister is the White-Robed Saint, who is a doctor. Nanmen Jue is her younger brother, so Nanmen Jue is also a doctor... Hmm?
Is Nanmen Jue actually a doctor in real life?!
This realization was quite shocking, but no one had the energy to exclaim at that moment. Everyone watched in silence as Nanmen Jue picked through the medicine box, skillfully injecting and bandaging himself, as if he had done it a thousand times.
"What are you looking at me for?" Nanmen Jue's voice had improved a bit, and he started meddling in other people's business. "It's been so long, don't tell me you don't know how to use these things."
“I do know basic first aid, but…” Wei Chongru hesitated.
Nanmen Jue understood what he meant. Compared to using these "primitive" methods to heal injuries and illnesses, the reincarnators in the reincarnation world still relied more on tools.
She didn't say anything more and tended to her terrible wounds herself. Since there were other people around, she didn't take off her clothes, but only took off her already torn coat and rolled up her shirt to her elbows.
The four of them were somewhat quiet. Nanmen Jue quickly treated himself and then went to tend to Xiao Nuo's wounds. She had been hit several times by Cheng Xiuye earlier; an ordinary crow would have been dead long ago.
She lowered her head and said, "You don't need to stay with me. Go do what you're supposed to do."
This broke the somewhat delicate atmosphere. Seeing that she was not in any danger, Hao Hong stood up and said, "I'll come see you after I'm done with my work."
Nanmen Jue remained silent, thinking that she should leave this place when the old man finished his work and returned.
With only a few reincarnators left, it became much easier to talk.
Wei Chongru asked cautiously, "Brother Nanmen, are you sure that prop is really...?"
Nanmen Jue grunted in response, then gasped.
"There really is such a bizarre prop." Lu Yunxiao sighed, looking at Nanmen Jue with some worry.
In fact, the other two people also seemed to be worried that she might do something rash.
They were all reincarnators, and everyone knew how much price and effort it took to become a Golden Name. Now that it had been stolen from them, if they were Nanmen Jue, they would probably have the urge to commit suicide on the spot.
Nanmen Jue showed no signs of being depressed, not even a hint of sadness, confusion, or anger. She calmly treated the crow's wounds and looked up at the three of them.
“I’m sorry,” she said, “I’ve dragged you all into this.”
The three were stunned. None of them expected Nanmen Jue to apologize, and their expressions immediately turned sour.
"You're underestimating me by saying that." Deng Erhuai was straightforward, always speaking directly. "I owe you, Nanmen Jue, but it was all my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."
“Yeah, Nanmen, it’s not like you did anything wrong. Who wants to be chased and killed by two lunatics?” Lu Yunxiao’s tone was very gentle, like a caring older brother.
Wei Chongru remained silent. Of the three, his feelings were the most complicated. He glanced at Nanmen Jue, then turned his head away.
“I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that, and I won’t acknowledge it,” he said softly.
Nanmen Jue shook his head at them and said, "I will leave tomorrow. Neither you, Mo Gui, nor Guan Junren are allowed to follow me anymore."
Upon hearing this, all three looked anxious.
“How can that be? You’re already in danger, and now you’re even more…” Wei Chongru swallowed the words “lowering your strength”, “You need a few bodyguards!”
"Yes, do you still think we can't be trusted?" Deng Erhuai couldn't suppress his sadness. "I admit I was negligent in handling the Red Dawn matter..."
“It has nothing to do with these things.” Nanmen Jue shook his head slowly but firmly. “I don’t hide my whereabouts. It will be easy for them to find me. Once they know where I am, there’s no need to cause trouble for others.”
The three of them fell silent, understanding what Nanmen Jue meant.
She wanted to make herself a target to attract the attention of those perverts, so that the others would be basically safe.
A mix of emotions flowed through everyone's hearts, and for a moment no one spoke.
Nanmen Jue assumed they had tacitly agreed.
After a while, she looked into the distance as if sensing something, and squinted her eyes.
Deng Erhuai, who had been staring at her blankly, immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
“Someone’s coming,” Nanmen Jue said. “It should be a person. My strength has decreased, and my senses are a bit dulled.”
Upon hearing this, all three felt a pang of sadness, and their disgust for Cheng Xiuye intensified.
Nanmen Jue stood up, the scalpel sliding into her palm. She took the initiative to go to meet the person who came, and the three of them also got up and followed.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly relaxed. "It's okay, it's someone I know."
Approaching them was the cloaked figure leading Zhang Zhi.
Zhang Zhi recognized him, but the cloaked figure was a stranger to the three of them, and they watched him approach with slight wariness.
"elder brother."
Zhang Zhi wanted to get closer to Nanmen Jue, but was stunned when she saw her injuries.
Nanmen Jue took her hand and looked up at the cloaked figure. "Why did you come here? Where are the other three?"
The cloaked figure was completely covered, exuding an aura of mystery and tranquility. Nanmen Jue's physical data had decreased, but he could still feel Nanmen Jue's sharp gaze scanning his entire body like a scanner.
"They wouldn't let me take the girl away, so they knocked them all out."
These words, so calm yet seemingly self-righteous, made Nanmen Jue pause, and the others became awestruck.
Knocked out? Was she really knocked out, or...?
In an instant, everyone's gaze towards the cloaked figure changed.
Nanmen Jue showed no hostility. She turned to face the cloaked figure and asked with certainty, "What did you put on me?"
