Liu Guang, who was standing next to her, thought so too, but Qi Jiu seemed to understand something. She looked up at Qi Silin's forced smile, feeling both anxious and angry.
"Let's leave now! There's no point in explaining! You guys cover our retreat!"
As she spoke, she immediately pulled out her phone and dialed a number. "Shengquan, get the equipment ready. I'm bringing people over for a full check! Be quick!"
Those around Qi Jiu were somewhat puzzled by her change, but looking at her, they dared not utter a sound, knowing that something major had happened.
Seeing the changes in her now, Qi Silin knew he couldn't hide it anymore, and his smile was bitter.
His Qiqi is really amazing; she figured it out in just a short while.
But... he didn't want her to worry, so what was bound to happen, happened anyway.
After giving the order, Qi Jiu immediately grabbed Qi Silin's hand and walked towards the helicopter, leaving the others still somewhat bewildered.
Feeling the warmth on his wrist, Qi Silin didn't seem to be in a hurry as he had imagined; in fact, he seemed to be enjoying the moment.
This seemed to be only the second time he had seen her so worried about him since the last time.
Inside the cabin, Qi Jiu's face was terribly gloomy, and her voice trembled slightly as she looked at his hand.
"What...when did this happen?"
Why was he so careless as not to notice? If he had noticed earlier, this wouldn't have happened.
The man chuckled casually, "Just that time I hugged you."
Speaking of this, the girl remembered.
While searching for Melville, she clearly sensed something, and just as her hand was about to touch the door of the underground laboratory, Qi Silin hugged her.
She never imagined that he would shield her from the poison.
I didn't understand why at the time, but I do now.
The poison was something that had been wiped off the small door beforehand; it was colorless and odorless, making it indeed very difficult to detect.
She took his large hand in her arms and looked at the slightly purplish wound. She felt a chill run through her body. After examining it for a while, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat on her back.
She had seen this poison before, but currently, there was no antidote.
This poison is notorious in the poison world, but it is also the most difficult to cure.
Looking at the girl in front of him with her head down, her face obscured, Qi Silin smiled. Just as he was about to say something to comfort her, he felt a metallic taste in his throat.
Swallowing the metallic taste, he realized that he... couldn't suppress it for much longer.
My vision gradually blurred, the things in front of me began to spin, and at the same time, the pain in my body spread.
"puff!"
Blood splattered, and seeing the person who was still smiling at her but fell straight down, Qi Jiu's face turned deathly pale.
"Ah Lin!"
Inside the International Pharmacist Organization, Qi Jiu stared at the data on the paper, speechless for a long time. Her silent, downcast expression worried those around her.
"How is it? I'm not a poison master, I don't understand, but say something! How is it now?"
Ever since Qi Jiu brought her people to the International Pharmacist Organization, her expression has remained the same, except when she saw Qi Silin, when it softened a little.
The girl opened her mouth, then sighed. "Right now, there's no other way. We can only try things little by little, but that takes too long, I'm afraid..."
"So now people can only lie in bed unconscious and wait to die?"
Shengquan simply couldn't believe it. Since Qi Silin arrived, he had never been awake. The only movement he made was when he was unconscious and vomiting blood.
We're relying entirely on medication to stay alive, but how can this continue indefinitely?
Having received such an answer, Shengquan was somewhat powerless.
Currently, all their international pharmacist organization can do is use machines, but they can't get any help from people, because there's only one poison master here, Qi Jiu.
If even she can't do it...
He doesn't feel anything now, but he knows that Qi Jiu is going through a lot of suffering.
Imagine the unbearable feeling of frustration and helplessness when you can't save the person you love most in your own field of expertise. He had experienced that feeling before.
The words of comfort were already on the tip of my tongue, but I just couldn't bring myself to say them.
"Master, you really should rest. You can't keep pushing yourself like this! Do you want to collapse as soon as Young Master Qi wakes up?"
Wu Mei looked at the person sitting in the seat with their head down, her face full of worry.
How long has it been since Qi Silin moved here? She couldn't remember, she just knew it had been a long time.
"Miss Qi, please rest. We're here for you."
Seeing her like this, Liu Yun and the others also felt bad.
They knew how glamorous Qi Jiu had been before, but now she had toned down her brilliance and devoted herself entirely to this matter, only to end up in a sorry state.
If her master woke up and saw her like this, he would be heartbroken!
"No need, I still need to think of a solution. You guys go and rest, you can take turns, so don't worry about me."
As she spoke, she stood up and pushed open the door to the room next door.
The room was quiet, the sunlight streamed in, and the scene was beautiful. If only I could see the person on the bed smiling, that would be even better.
But no.
She closed the door, slowly approached the bed, and looked at the person on it who was as quiet as a doll. Her eyes reddened without her noticing.
She tried hard not to let her tears fall and squatted by the bed.
"Fool, this is what I was supposed to go through. Spitting blood isn't pleasant, is it?"
The words were uttered, but no response was received.
His pale, handsome face showed no signs of life, and sighs echoed throughout the room.
"How am I supposed to explain this to your parents? If you don't want to see me humiliated, just wake up, okay?"
But no matter what I said, I received no further response.
Exiting the room, dragging her weary body, Qi Jiu, who had intended to re-enter the laboratory, looked up and saw someone who shouldn't have been there.
"you……"
"You're so disloyal! We're in trouble, so you help us out, but when you're in trouble, why didn't you say so?"
Aman looked at the person with dark circles under their eyes and frowned with heartache.
This guy used to be so arrogant, I never imagined something like this would happen.
"That's right. It doesn't matter whether you join this organization or not, but do you consider us your friends? Although we are not as capable as you, we can't bear to see you suffer all of this alone!"
Kenza pretended to be angry and patted Kenyo next to him.
Ken Yue, who had previously held some prejudice against Qi Jiu, nodded in agreement.
“I admit that you have talent, whether you’re a pharmacist or a poison master, and I admire that.”
Behind them followed several poison masters from the organization, all of whom were smiling at Qi Jiu.
Shengquan was quite shocked by what he saw, and at the same time, he was happy for Qijiu.
This also made him realize that sincerity can be reciprocated.
"This must be the first time so many drug addicts have come from the pharmacist organization."
