The nurse took off her mask, revealing a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, the patient is out of danger and will make a full recovery after a few months in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief.
Si Xiaobei asked again, "Um, can I go see him now?"
The nurse shook her head slightly.
"Not now. The patient just had surgery and needs some time to recover. You can come to see him around 6 p.m.
"Oh, thank you..."
Si Xiaobei lowered her head somewhat dejectedly, but still thanked the nurse.
"You're welcome, it's what we should do."
The nurse shook her head slightly and closed the ward door.
"It's good that everyone is alright. Let's go check on the captain and the others first."
Seeing that Si Xiaobei looked a little sad, Feng Xuan made a suggestion.
"Okay, sure."
Si Xiaobei raised her head, forced a smile, and nodded to Feng Xuan.
"Alright, let's go then. Hera, you don't need to eat either. Let's go."
Hera stuffed the apple in her hand into her mouth, picked up the half-eaten basket of fruit, and hurried after them.
In a regular ward, the members of the special investigation team lay together on their hospital beds.
Their injuries varied in size, but none were too serious.
Except for Ye Ciqing, who said he needed to stay in bed and take good care of his kidneys, everyone else was already able to get out of bed and move around freely.
Feng Xuan opened the ward door and led Si Xiaobei and Hera in.
"Captain, everyone, are you all alright?"
After Feng Xuan entered, he greeted everyone and then plopped down on Liu Xiaogang's hospital bed.
"Get down here!"
"Hera brought you some fruit. If you want some, have some."
Feng Xuan ignored Liu Xiaogang's attempts to shoo him away and glanced at Hera.
Seeing this, Hera quickly took another apple from the fruit basket and put it in her pocket, then gave each person a piece of fruit.
"Except for Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing, we are basically all better."
Sun Hai sat up from the hospital bed and answered calmly.
Xinglan picked up the apple she had given herself, took a bite, and echoed her sentiment.
"Yes, Ye Ciqing said he needs to take good care of his kidneys, otherwise he will suffer from sequelae in the future, so he is staying in bed and not getting up."
"What do you know! I'm doing this for my future!"
Lying on the hospital bed, Ye Ciqing gently touched his waist, which had been stitched up and wrapped in bandages.
"After all, I have a girlfriend, so I have to take good care of myself."
Liu Xiaogang rolled his eyes.
After taking two bites of the apple, Xinglan continued:
"Ye Yiqing said that using that Ghost Slash had taken too much to handle and he needed to rest for a few days, so he has basically been lying in bed the whole time."
Ye Yiqing slowly opened her eyes from the hospital bed and nodded to Feng Xuan.
Feng Xuan shrugged. "Okay, none of them are big problems."
Nanming is out of danger and should be fully recovered in a few months.
"That's good."
Sun Hai nodded slightly. "By the way, did you receive the logistical data for this mission, as well as the follow-up investigation information?"
Feng Xuan took out his phone and looked at it.
"It's been sent, let me tell you about it."
Everyone shut their mouths and listened quietly.
"The mutant in this incident is called [Soul Stealer]. Its main ability is to manipulate the opponent's emotions, and the higher the opponent's mental strength, the less effective it is."
Its most crucial ability is to take over other people's bodies.
It can be either alien or human, and can perfectly inherit the supernatural abilities and powers of multiple possessed individuals.
And after the physical body dies, it will automatically detach itself to find a new physical body.
It can only be completely destroyed by special attacks; ordinary physical attacks are ineffective against it.
Okay, that concludes the introduction to this variant.
"Ah~ We owe this to my brother, otherwise we might have been wiped out."
Ye Ciqing smiled and shook his head, his tone full of pride.
Ye Yiqing smiled somewhat helplessly, "Actually, it was also thanks to Hera, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to discover the other side's true nature so quickly."
Hera peeled and ate the orange, nodding without much reaction.
"Hey, why didn't [Soul Stealer] take over Hera's body back then? Hera should be the one with the strongest body here, right?"
Xinglan suddenly thought of something.
Hera didn't know the reason either, and shook her head.
"Well, maybe it's because she's a symbiote, her soul is made up of both alien and human beings, which is quite special."
Feng Xuan leaned against the headboard and answered casually.
Everyone agreed that this made sense, so they didn't investigate further.
At six o'clock, everyone except the brothers Ye Yiqing and Ye Ciqing, who were unable to leave their beds, came to Nanming's ward to visit him.
"Brother Nanming, are you still feeling unwell?"
Si Xiaobei jogged to Nanming's bedside and inquired about his health with concern.
Nanming smiled gently and stroked Si Xiaobei's head.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. Thank you for your concern."
Si Xiaobei shook her head violently.
"No, no, no, I should be thanking Brother Nanming. If it weren't for Brother Nanming, I might have already..."
Before he could finish speaking, Nanming patted his head, interrupting him.
"It's all in the past, so let's not talk about it anymore."
Si Xiaobei slowly closed her mouth and nodded gently twice.
"Perfect timing! Since most of us are here, why don't we give Hera the gifts we prepared right here?"
