Chapter 5: Tracing the Trail

Inside the house, the ritual materials and the pentagram magic array on the table were well placed.

"We have to double-check that it's right in principle. Hua looked through the classical magic ritual books, which clearly recorded the materials and spells needed.

"No fuss, no spells?"

Ash smoke rose from the burning material, condensing into a five-pointed star pattern, floating on the ground, slowly emerging into a human form.

"Who did you summon?"

"Insiders. ”

A ghostly figure emerged, "How long will it take for you to understand that my working hours are at a point?"

"I know, but I have special channels. Lei Ying said.

Gangnam City, Hanyang Town.

5 a.m. It is easy to get up and tidy up, get up on time every day, and go to the street for morning exercise.

As an elite marathon runner, I insisted on running 15 kilometers a day.

The mist was heavy, and the 10km jog in the morning was still at an alarming speed, and the cold wind could not stop the runners' burning hearts.

When passing through the road outside the 5th Ring Road on the outskirts of the city, he suddenly had a pain in his Achilles tendon, and the whole person fell to the right.

Fortunately, with many years of running experience and the control of physical energy loss, he only landed slowly, and the pain in his right foot was hopeless to continue running, so he took out his mobile phone from his back pocket to make a call.

Hospital.

Dr. Qi clearly told Yi that the rupture of the Achilles tendon requires surgery for suturing, but it is not 100% able to restore the original level, that is, you have to prepare for the cause of running.

Obviously sitting in a wheelchair, Yi couldn't accept the news, "I can't accept it, doctor, you have to arrange my surgery ahead of schedule, and successfully, I still have a game to attend." ”

Closing the medical record, the doctor was also helpless.

"Mr. Yi, I'm not 100% sure, even if the surgery is successful, the sequelae will greatly reduce your running level, I'm sorry. ”

"Have you seen my medals? I love running, I have participated in all the national races in the big and small half marathons, the whole marathon, and I even participated in trail running to keep breaking through. ”

"I understand your persistence and hard work..."

"No, you don't understand, you can't participate in the training camp, and participating in the competition means everything to me! But now, a puddle of bubbles, like a waste, looking at the scenery outside the window every day, nothing. ”

"I understand your pain, listen, we'll do our best to help you through the surgery until you recover!"

On the stands of the playground, there are many running figures on the track below.

Hua brought two bottles of Coke up at the store downstairs and handed one bottle.

"He's running fast. "Tall guy in those green running shoes.

"There are not many people who can come down so fast with so many laps. "When I opened the cap, the Coke bottle was very badly steaming.

"Fuck it. "Got a big piece of Ray's crotch and blouse wet.

"I promise I didn't feed you beforehand, man. "I wiped it with a tissue, but it was all soaked, and it didn't help, so I took a sip first.

Hua thoughtfully, "You're right, you should give him the title of 'Little Flying Man in the Playground'." Maybe we shouldn't be involved in this, there's nothing wrong with letting him keep running. ”

"It may be at the cost of something, believing in books, everything has laws, magic is not omnipotent, there is pay, there is a return, equivalent exchange. Ray objected.

The little flyer finally stopped, reached the finish line after the last lap, and the 10km long-distance running training made him feel like he was back to the original.

Waving to the two people in the stands, he walked up with a towel.

"You have something to say to me. "Easy to speak.

"Yes, there are a lot of them. ”

"About what. Yi didn't speak, looking at Ray.

"You know we're here to try to stop you from recovering. ”

Ray stood up and held out his right hand, "Congratulations on your recovery, Yi." ”

"Thank you. ”

Lower stands, outside the playground.

"Just give up and let this kind of thing happen?" Hua said.

"You want me to tell him, sorry, you have a problem with your recovery and can't continue in your current state. ”

"I didn't say that. ”

"Don't worry too much, man, it's a contradictory thing. ”

A week later.

Yi In an endurance training, running as usual, suddenly the heart rate became disordered, and he hurriedly checked the heart rate of the bracelet, but the screen shook strangely.

The heel was obviously stunned, and he fell inexplicably. Obviously, he suddenly felt weak during the planned run, and his body lost support. Soon the coach and escort surrounded him, and Yi's pupils began to dilate.

"Like an airplane that suddenly receives interference, some electromagnetic interference?"

Dr. Qi compared the previous good X-ray, and the Achilles tendon was completely recovered without other complications.

"You're saying he's now unconscious in the lower half of his body. ”

"Yes, the lower half of the body is completely paralyzed, and maybe you will have to live in a wheelchair in the future. God, I was told to participate in the full marathon held in the next city when I came to the follow-up clinic a few days ago, and I was honestly so happy to see him like this, and I felt like crazy when he couldn't run. However, I have a question, why did the long-distance runner's injury alert the criminal police to come and investigate?"

"Good question, doctor, which involves a case, it is inconvenient to reveal it to you. He pushed away under the doctor's puzzled gaze.

The two of them followed Yi, who was pushing in a wheelchair, and looked out the window.

Stretching out in the corridor, I just walked a few steps and saw Doctor Qi discussing with a few people in police uniforms.

Turning around, he pulled Hua and slipped away quickly.

Inside the car.

"Better tell me you know something insider. Ray glanced in the rearview mirror and breathed a sigh of relief. Ignoring his words, he started the car.

The explosive rock music in the car made Hua very uncomfortable, and bluntly said that this was not real music.

After the police questioned the nurses, they rushed to the parking lot, and the building was empty.
