Chapter 128: The Touched Scales
The air in the hospital is never getting used to, Lilac and Shan Yufei and I came to this city by plane, and Yan Xi said that Song Anna was treated in this hospital.
We were all silent all the way, worried about the threat of the head descender, and terrible helplessness about the curse of flesh and blood, Yan Xi answered a phone call on the way and told me that Ji Hao had woken up.
I thought that when I returned to Donghua City, I should resign from him and return to my school life.
Even for sorcerers, these days are too scary. I can accept that I am in danger, but I cannot afford to be threatened by someone important to me.
When the plane landed, a car took us to the hospital. And of course, we were prevented and disgusted by the Song family.
It was only after the appearance of an old man that he was able to get rid of it.
"Get out of the way!" I saw the meticulously combed old man, poking his cane hard at the floor.
The middle-aged man, who had already wanted someone to drive us away, suddenly showed an embarrassed look, but respectfully retreated to the side.
I recognized this old man, I had seen him in a piece of paper, and I thought he was dying.
Now that I think about it, if it weren't for him, I wouldn't have met Anna Song again.
"Hello." I took out the jade wrench and wanted to return it to the other party.
The old man's face was haggard, and he waved his hand at me and said, "What you have given you, the old man has no reason to come back." Young man, you're here to see Anna? β
"Yes." I nodded, and the old man looked at Lilac and Shan Yufei behind me, then sighed, turned around and said, "Come with me." β
After this sigh, he felt as if he had suddenly aged a lot, tired and sad.
We followed him down a few corridors, and then a few hints of evil were evident in the air. The cold ran through my body like the wind, making me involuntarily start to breathe rapidly.
"Senior brother." Lilac's hand pressed on my shoulder, and I came back to my senses a little, nodded, and continued to walk up.
Eventually, in front of the glass of the hospital room, I saw the emaciated girl on the hospital bed, and a dark cloud of black spots appeared on the skin of her bare neck and arms.
When I saw this, I felt dizzy.
It was as if the blood in my whole body was pouring back into my heart, and then in the next second, this blood rushed into my brain again, and I couldn't help but want to rush in and hug her hard!
"Don't be impulsive." Shan Yufei, who was explaining to Lilac, grabbed me, and I glared at him fiercely trying to shake off his hand.
Shan Yufei's hand had an unexpected strength, he grabbed me tightly, and reminded me in a low, powerful voice: "Don't forget, theoretically you shouldn't know about this!" This means that your eldest lady doesn't want you to know about it! β
"But I already know!" I couldn't help but raise my voice, I couldn't control my emotions, "I should go inside to accompany her!" β
"And then? Crying while hugging her? Or let her watch you cry? Shan Yufei said irritably, and dragged me down.
I felt my body being dragged away uncontrollably, and my back felt like it had hit some round corner, and it hurt, but it wasn't enough to overwhelm the anxiety in my heart.
"Stop!" Lilac interjected and stood between me and Shan Yufei, otherwise I would have thrown a fist at Shan Yufei in a fit of rage - although I would have been the one who suffered in the end.
Lilac put her left hand on my shoulder, glared at Shan Yufei viciously, and then said to me, "Listen, little junior brother." If you want to beat him, hit him, or throw him off the eighth floor, I won't stop you, and I'll help you..."
"Hey, hey, hey..."The corners of Shan Yufei's mouth twitched.
"But not now. The girl inside...... I don't know who she is, but since she is important to you, you should respect her wishes. Lilac's voice also rose up, suppressing the voice I wanted to argue, "A girl doesn't want to see a boy, there is always a reason for her." Do you think she wants you to see what she looks like now? β
Lilac is usually a very playful and beautiful girl, but when it comes to critical times, she will be very bold. Just like now, her tone made me calm down and think.
Then he lowered his head dejectedly, then stood up, walked to the one-way mirror, and looked at Song Anna on the hospital bed.
She was asleep, with a cell phone next to her pillow and a thousand paper cranesβa check I had folded for two million.
It's ridiculous, and she actually kept it and put it next to her pillow.
It gave me an indescribable feeling, and I gently put my hand on the glass, and when I saw those black patches, I felt a tingling sensation.
"Single lane long, this is some kind of... Bow your head? I asked softly.
Shan Yufei had been staring at it for a while, but shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, if it is, this must be a kind of head lowering that I don't know." β
"So what to do?" My voice was almost wailing, "What's the solution?" Can she only lie in a hospital bed like this for the rest of her life? β
Shan Yufei and Lilac glanced at each other, I looked at them with hope, and then heard Shan Yufei hesitantly say, "There are two ways...... One is that the caster takes the initiative to unlock the spell, and the other is that the caster is killed. β
"Kill... The caster? I was stunned.
Shan Yufei nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, no matter what head lowering technique, as long as the caster dies, the head lowering will also be cracked." In addition to the Flesh and Bone Curse, even if the caster dies, the person who has been cursed by the Flesh and Bone will only die with it. β
He didn't say anything more, and I looked at Anna Song behind the one-way mirror, and my hands gradually clenched into fists. The idea of quitting was vanished at this moment.
All that was left in his chest was the hope of rescuing Song Anna, and the anger of the three Usheri siblings.
Dragons have reverse scales, and they die when they touch them. I don't think I'm as good as a dragon, but I also have my own bottom line, and attacking the people I value is undoubtedly stepping on the red line that I can tolerate!
"Senior Sister, Shan Dao Chief, can you teach me how to avoid the Flesh and Bone Curse?" I turned around and looked at Lilac and Shan Yufei seriously.
What I mean by this is that I am already telling them that I am going to deal with the three sisters and brothers of Usheri. At the same time, I also asked the two of them if they would like to help me.
No matter how determined I am, I need help to deal with three powerful head-lowering masters. It's not a substitute for anger or determination.
Hearing my words, Lilac, who knew me, showed a little helplessness in her eyes, and said with one hand: "Even if I stop you, it's useless, right?" Senior sister will help you. β
"Are you serious?" Shan Yufei took two steps back, the expression on his face tangled and strange.
In fact, his reaction was expected by me, we have experienced so many lives and deaths, almost every time we have died in one life, and this time it will not be much better.
Shan Yufei walked with us, more of a victim, if he wanted to quit, I would not be surprised, I would only feel regret and guilt.
However, the development of things proved that I was just thinking too much, Shan Yufei touched his chin that had grown some scum, and said angrily: "Knowing you, I have also fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes." Sometimes I really wish I could be ruthless and unrighteous, but my brother is very warm-hearted! β
I didn't say anything, but the meaning was already obvious, and I stretched out my hand at him guiltily: "I'm sorry for always getting you into trouble." β
"Okay, okay, the flesh is numb." Shan Yufei didn't shake my hand, but slapped my palm, and then said, "I will make a few talismans, and when the time comes, you will hand them over to your family to wear." Although the Flesh and Bone Curse is vicious, it can't be used on a sorcerer with the ability to perform Qi, so the three of us can rest assured. β
I breathed a sigh of relief, so that at least I would have no worries.
"I remember, you said that the three sisters and brothers of Usheri may have gone to Yunnan, right?" I asked.
Shan Yufei frowned and said, "But to find three people in the huge Yunnan area, it is also a needle in a haystack." God knows what they're going to do? β
"There's no hurry, as long as I know where they're going, I have a way to find their whereabouts."
After I finished speaking, I turned to look at Anna Song in the one-way mirror, and swore to her in my heart that I would restore her to her original state.
When leaving the corridor of the ward, the old man sat on a stool in the corridor with his hands folded ζοΈ, and when he saw us coming out, he immediately stood up and asked nervously, "Young man, is Anna still saved?" β
"Don't worry, I'll definitely let her recover!" I tried my best to suppress my emotions and reassure the old man in the most confident and determined tone.
Coming out of the hospital, Yan Xi was still waiting by the car to send us back to Donghua City, I asked her if she could contact Ji Hao, she hesitated for a few seconds, and then nodded: "The eldest young master has given you his number, if he is awake, he should pick it up." β
Time was pressing, so I got into the car first and called Ji Hao. After a few irritating busy tones, the phone was finally connected, and Ji Hao's weak but still steady voice came: "Good evening, Mr. Lin." β
"Young Master Ji, can you still move now?" I was somewhat touched to hear such a voice.
Ji Hao seemed to chuckle twice and asked, "Mr. Lin won't be here to care about me, right?" If there's something, just say it. β
"Well, can you find out the whereabouts of the three Usheri siblings?" Now that Ji Hao has gotten straight to the point, I also talked to him about business.
Ji Hao seemed to sigh: "It's not easy, they hide too deeply." Trying to find them is like looking for a needle in a haystack. β
"And what if I give you a direction?" I looked out the car window at the night and said quietly, "Yunnan, they will definitely go to Yunnan in the near future." β
Ji Hao seemed to be silent on the other end of the phone for a while, and soon, he came out again, "Very good, Mr. Lin, you have impressed me again." β
After saying that, Ji Hao hung up the phone, I guessed that he should have sent someone to check.
It's just that he should have just been rescued from the car accident not long ago, and I don't know the status of his injuries, so can I still mobilize my subordinates?
I had a doubt in my mind, and it turned out to be okay.
In just one day, Ji Hao came with the news and found out the whereabouts of the three sisters and brothers in Usheri.
