"That'...... What should I do then!" Xiao Ting was in a hurry, and tears suddenly overflowed her eyes. She had just experienced a despair of falling into a bottomless abyss, and after Huzi stepped forward, she thought that this world had opened up and the moon was full, but she didn't expect Doctor Shi to say a word lightly, and she was sent to the bottom of the eighteenth layer of hell again.

"Don't sell it, you must have a way. Huzi on the side said to Doctor Shi. His complexion was much calmer than Xiaoting's, but his eyes were much more solemn. "I have checked you, you are the best descendant of the younger generation of the witch doctor clan, at the age of fifteen, you were called the most talented young lady of the witch doctor clan in the past three hundred years, and even the highest level of power has asked about you, I think, you should not be the kind of person who wastes his fame......"

Doctor Shi looked at Huzi noncommittally, put down the teacup in his hand and turned around and walked to the staircase. Xiaoting thought that Huzi's "arrogant" attitude had provoked Dr. Shi, and made her angry and wanted to leave them upstairs, but Dr. Shi just reached out and hugged the black cat that had been lying quietly on the handrail of the stairs with her eyes closed, smoothed her hair, and turned back to the sofa to sit down.

You're right, there's a way, and it's as simple as it sounds. Doctor Shi gently stroked the smooth fur of the black cat, but his eyes were always fixed on Huzi and Xiaoting, and said: "As long as more 'knights' can participate in the 'ceremony' at the same time and dedicate themselves to the 'princess' together, then even if the injury is serious, as long as the person has his last breath, it is possible to heal ......"

"As simple as it sounds...... That said, it must not be that simple, right?" Xiaoting asked worriedly.

Doctor Shi nodded, took his hand away from the black cat that was squinting and purring, looked at the beautiful young woman opposite with an anxious and panicked expression, and said apologetically: "You're right, things are not as simple as they seem...... Otherwise, as long as you have money, you can find a few random men on the street to solve the problem...... However, the 'knight' is not something that can be done by a random person, and there are all kinds of restrictions, such as blood relatives, secondly, strangers, and then too young and too old...... Also, if you don't know in advance, you can't have emotional intersections, and you can't hold grudges......"

Every time Doctor Shi said 'no', Xiao Ting felt her heart cold, Doctor Shi said more than a dozen in one breath, Xiao Ting felt that she was cold from her heart to her back, and even the ten fingertips of her two hands were cold - if you look for a 'knight' according to the conditions listed by Doctor Shi, Xiao Ting can finally think of a person who is probably qualified, and only Huzi is left......

However, Dr. Shi was not finished yet. "These are not the most difficult conditions to meet...... she glanced at Xiao Ting, who was almost on the verge of collapse, and Huzi, whose brows were gradually locking on the side, and continued: "But the last one, after the 'knight' knows the price he will have to pay, he must be completely and willingly willing to sacrifice his life for the 'princess' from the bottom of his heart, as long as there is even the slightest reluctance in that person's heart, then the ritual may have unpredictable results......"

"You also know Cheng Xiaonan's situation, so do you think that it will be enough to hold a 'ceremony' for her?" Huzi asked bluntly.

"At least...... Two of them......" Doctor Shi thought for a moment and replied, "Counting the two of you, there can't be less...... Of course, the more people the better, because for every additional person, there is an additional element of instability......"

"I see. Huzi stood up, thrust his hands into his trouser pockets, and put on a very relaxed posture. "You don't have to worry about the candidate, I'll find a way to solve it......"

"You really ...... Are you sure you understand this 'ritual'?" Doctor Shi put down the cat in his arms, and looked at Huzi's eyes became serious: "Becoming a 'knight' is not a joke, the so-called 'dedication' comes at a price, and it is a very expensive price, you must know that it is not only a part of your own life that will be permanently 'dedicated', but also ......."

"Didn't I just say that? None of this is a problem for me. Huzi waved his hand to interrupt Dr. Shi's questioning. He said as if he didn't care: "Please also arrange the matters that need to be prepared for the 'ceremony' as soon as possible, Xiao Nan's situation can no longer be delayed." As he spoke, he took out a business card and gently put it on the coffee table: "I'll go back and make some preparations, keep in touch at any time, if you have any difficulties, you can call me and call ......"

"Okay......" Seeing that Huzi's attitude was resolute and even a little overbearing, Doctor Shi had to put away her large list of routine warnings to the 'knights' and get up to see off the guests. "Now that Mr. Xia has made up his mind, let's start preparing now. ”

Huzi nodded with satisfaction and said to Xiao Ting beside him, "Let's go." ”

Xiao Ting was taken aback. Just now, she had been immersed in her chaotic state of mind, and her mind was full of Xiao Nan's interpersonal network that she had mastered, those who were familiar and unfamiliar, those who had never met, and the names quickly flashed back in her mind repeatedly...... I didn't notice at all that Huzi and Doctor Shi beside me had just said something.

"Let's go, we still have a lot of work to do. Huzi saw that Xiaoting was stunned, so he said it again.

At this moment, Xiao Ting saw something in Huzi's eyes that should not belong to this flowery man, it seemed to be responsibility, trust or responsibility, which made her think that there was something wrong with her eyes.

Quickly took out a tissue from her pocket and wiped the wet corners of her eyes, Xiaoting got up to say goodbye to Dr. Shi, and left Dr. Shi's flowery courtyard with Huzi in a daze.

The window light on the second floor of the old Soviet-style building was lit, and Dr. Shi held the black cat in his arms, looking at the backs of the two people downstairs, and the look in his eyes was quite complicated.

Ever since she officially entered the witch doctor's profession, there have been many people who have asked her about the 'ritual', but the vast majority of people have silently disappeared into the sea of people when they heard the price of "dedication" and never appeared again. Even if some people finally make up their minds, they have gone through a painful inner struggle......

But Cheng Xiaonan at the beginning, as well as the tall and sturdy young man who was walking away, and even the seemingly weak young girl beside him, didn't take the "price" seriously, and made a decision as if they were eating and drinking......

If it is said that Cheng Xiaonan at the beginning was guilty of Xiaoting so he would not hesitate, and today's Xiaoting is out of gratitude to Cheng Xiaonan so she is not afraid, then ...... Doctor Shi looked at the business card sandwiched between his fingers, this young man named Xia Huxing, what kind of emotional bond is there between him and Cheng Xiaonan?
