The man who had spoken earlier glared at him.
"We can't let our guard down. This dog is trained. Yuan, come with me to take a look."
"Okay, Brother Li." The man called A Yuan put on his coat. The two of them took flashlights and went out.
Jian Ning didn't leave; instead, she simply sat on the sofa and waited, secretly calculating the time. Sure enough, five minutes later, a scream came from upstairs. It was extremely shrill.
Amin and another bodyguard downstairs exchanged a glance and quickly ran upstairs.
Here comes the real show. Jian Ning slowly followed behind the two of them, climbing the stairs one step at a time.
"Boss, what's wrong? Are we going in?" Amin knocked hard on the bedroom door.
There were two more shouts from inside, and then the door was opened from the inside.
Suddenly, a naked person, covered in blood, rushed out, their face mangled and drooping. Their once alluring figure was now too grotesque to look at.
The two bodyguards were also startled. Although her face was unrecognizable, it was still recognizable as Miao Xin, whom the boss had just carried into the bedroom. They initially thought it was a monster attack.
The two men drew their guns and rushed in. They saw their leader, his head also covered in blood, sitting naked on the bed, looking dazed and blank, as if he had been scared out of his wits.
The windows inside the house were all intact, so nothing else came in.
After rushing out of the bedroom, Miao Xin went straight to the bathroom. She couldn't feel any pain now, but she knew that her skin suddenly felt like a tattered cardboard box soaked in water, with flesh peeling off at the slightest touch.
The itching was so intense it made her whole body ache, and she wanted to scratch, but she forced herself not to. She had no idea why this was happening.
Jian Ning was quite satisfied with her current appearance. The ulceration talisman was effective for three minutes. Within those three minutes, any external force touching the skin surface would cause...
The flesh on your body will peel off on its own. And you'll feel itchy all over, making you want to scratch uncontrollably.
Unless you have immense willpower and don't move an inch, the damage to your body might be less, and the festering mark would disappear on its own over time. Jian Ning wanted to see if anyone would still want Miao Xin in this state.
Instead of watching what would happen to Miao Xin, he silently passed through the wall into the yard. As soon as he stood still, the two Tibetan mastiffs started barking wildly again.
The two men, who were checking the yard, shone their flashlights around aimlessly, but there was no one there. After a while, the dog quieted down again. Finding nothing, they had no choice but to go back inside.
Just then, Ah Ming and his companion carried their boss out of the bedroom.
"Amin, what are you doing?"
"The eldest brother suddenly got scared out of his wits, and I was thinking of finding a doctor from the army to take a look." Amin stopped in his tracks. He was also a little flustered by what had suddenly happened.
"Wasn't everything fine just now? How did you suddenly become so scared?" As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up and saw Miao Xin running out of the bathroom. At this moment, she looked like a female ghost.
He immediately pulled out his gun and pointed it at her, shouting sternly, "What are you? Stand there and don't move, or I'll shoot."
"It's me, Miao Xin, Gao Qiang, it's me."
Miao Xin's cries were filled with despair.
The flesh on her body isn't sagging anymore, but when she looked in the mirror earlier, the flesh on her face was rotting down to the bone. Yet, she still doesn't feel any pain. What's going on?
That was terrifying, it was like something out of a horror movie. Had she gone mad? No, she had to find Master Huang right now. So she ran downstairs without even bothering to put on her clothes.
"What's going on here? Ah Ming, take the boss back to his room. Ah Yuan, go and fetch the doctor." Gao Qiang calmly arranged things, then looked at Miao Xin, who was standing at the bottom of the stairs, not daring to move.
"Miss Miao, I suggest you go back inside and get dressed. A doctor will come to bandage your injuries soon. In this situation, it's best not to wander around."
"Could you please tell me what happened just now, and why the boss is acting like this?" It's impossible not to suspect Miao Xin.
Although she looks much worse off than the boss, no one knows the truth without investigation.
With the dark muzzle of a gun pointed at her, Miao Xin, despite her urgent desire to find Huang Daoshi, didn't dare to say much and obediently returned to her bedroom. Her skin was so badly ulcerated that there wasn't a single healthy spot left.
I could only use the iodine from the first-aid kit to apply some simple medicine. Since I couldn't get dressed, I simply wrapped myself in a quilt and sat on the bed.
Less than half an hour later, the feeling suddenly returned. The missing flesh was excruciatingly painful.
She couldn't bear it any longer; the pain made her scream incessantly. She rolled around on the bed a couple of times before falling to the floor. She covered her face with her hands, struggling to breathe from the pain.
Gao Qiang suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Miao Xin rolling on the floor, her wounds bleeding profusely. The floor was stained with blood, looking like a murder scene.
"Dr. Wang, could you please take a look at her and see what's wrong? Ah Ming, go and hold Miss Miao back, don't let her move around."
Amin quickly walked over from behind, grabbed Miao Xin's arm and pushed her down onto the floor tiles, where she couldn't move no matter how hard she struggled.
"This young lady's injuries are very strange. It doesn't seem like she simply scratched herself. Instead, it looks like she was poisoned, causing her skin to fester. Only when she scratches herself will the flesh on her skin fall off on its own."
I'll take some tissue from her body back to study it; I won't be able to provide a treatment plan so quickly.
Dr. Wang has lived for over forty years and has seen many difficult and complicated cases.
But I've never encountered symptoms like Miao Xin's before. I can't help but wonder if her current condition is related to the mutated monsters outside.
"Dr. Wang, please feel free to do as you please." Gao Qiang watched as Dr. Wang took out tools from his medical kit, took some skin tissue from Miao Xin's arm, and then began to apply medicine and bandage her.
Seeing that Miao Xin had stopped struggling and her emotions had clearly stabilized, Amin finally released his grip on her.
"Amin, you take Doctor Wang back. I need to talk to Miss Miao."
After saying that, he helped Miao Xin to her feet. Seeing that she was wrapped up like a mummy and had difficulty moving, he simply carried her back to the bedroom.
"Now you can tell me, what happened tonight? Why are you like this? Was the boss scared by you, or did some unknown creature break in?"
The eldest brother had already fallen asleep after receiving treatment from Doctor Wang and taking calming medication, so Gao Qiang wasn't in a hurry and patiently waited for Miao Xin's reply.
