I stayed in a house of worship in the hospital in Nam Chebazar.

In fact, I was able to get out of bed the second day after I woke up, and by the third day, I felt that my mental and physical condition was extremely good, even better than any time before me.

However, due to Shen Tangzhi's caution, I was forcibly prevented from being discharged from the hospital, during which I had to undergo countless examinations every day, and Shen Tangzhi, as one of the doctors, participated in the whole process - or to put it bluntly, this was led by her.

The reason why Shen Tangzhi can have such permission is because she directly donated 1 million cash to this private hospital whose full name is "Mrs. Du Li Renai Hospital", thus obtaining 2% of the hospital's equity and becoming one of the shareholders.

For a moment, I wondered if I had become the object of Shen Tangzhi's research, she threw away such a large sum of money in vain, could it be specifically to take the opportunity to study me?

When I asked this question, Shen Tangzhi unabashedly replied in the affirmative: "Of course, why not?" Such a great opportunity. ”

She put my blood smear away, buried her head in the microscope, and corrected me in her mouth: "Also, I don't call this 'throwing money', this is called investing." This hospital is the best hospital in Namchebazaar, and according to the annual report of the hospital's income and expenditure for the past ten years, the one million I invested can bring me at least 8% of the value added every year, which is already more stable than the profit of buying most funds in China...... Not to mention that this is industry. Ace, help me get yesterday's cell slice—"

Hyde answered by finding a small piece of glass smear from the tool table next to him and shrugged at me.

And the face shrugging at me?

Hyde, an accomplice, followed Shen Tang all day long and conducted various tests on me.

Of course, the conclusion of the study is striking, according to Shen Tangzhi's original words:

My current physical fitness is close to that of a professional athlete, and the most amazing thing is that my cell activity is five times the average of the average person!

What is this concept?

Cell activity is actually a relatively broad definition, which can be roughly divided into four major items: cell viability, cell proliferation, cell migration, and endocytosis, which correspond to metabolic activity, injury repair ability, organ adaptability, immune function, etc.

In other words, my current body has five times the speed of wound healing and immunity, and it is more adaptable to the external environment (such as hypoxia on the plateau, bearing atmospheric pressure, etc.), and the physical recovery speed is also very fast.

"Your physical fitness right now is probably at the level of those top athletes in the world, but in terms of cell activity...... It's already a bit more than the theoretical strength that humans should have. ”

The night before I was discharged from the hospital, Shen Tangzhi came to my hospital room and asked for unrelated people, and after waiting for her, she came to her conclusions.

The old knife grinned nervously as usual, and slapped me on the back: "I'll go, you kid is going to become a superman!" Hey, can you ask your octopus pet, does it have any of its kind that you want to possess, you can introduce it to Lao Tzu, and let me become a superman to play with......"

I raised my hand to silence the old knife, and then asked Shen Tangzhi: "Are you going to say 'but' next?" ”

"That's right." Shen Tangzhi smiled, "However, because your metabolism level is five times that of a normal person, the amount of energy you need to consume every day has also increased accordingly—have you noticed that you have become more and more hungry recently?" ”

I nodded.

"Actually, the recipe I've given you has been able to meet the energy needs of two adult men at high intensity."

"So ......"

"You must always have high-energy foods such as chocolate and compressed biscuits on your body at all times, and try to avoid high-intensity physical exercise - if you consume too much energy in a short period of time and do not replenish it in time, you may quickly feel dizzy, flustered, tired and even faint - the symptoms of hypoglycemia patients will all appear in you."

"The aftermath is too annoying, isn't it?" I suddenly felt bad.

Lao Dao thought for a while and asked, "Section Chief Shen, what you call 'high-intensity physical exercise', does not include exercise in bed?" ”

Shen Tangzhi glanced at him: "What do you say?" ”

The old knife laughed and said to me: "Don't ask your octopus pet, this rich and sick old man can't afford it...... When you're in that place in the future, are you going to pop and stuff chocolate into your mouth at the same time? Damn, think about that scene, it's so touching! Hahaha! ”

I reached out and pointed out the door, "You guy let me go, okay?" ”

Shen Tangzhi lifted his glasses: "I agree." ”

The old knife immediately raised his hand in surrender, and then Shen Tangzhi continued: "Given that your physical condition is still very unstable, I can't be sure if your condition will continue to ......."

She probably wanted to use the word "deterioration", thought about it and changed the word: "...... Produce other changes. So, you have to come to me regularly, and Ace and I will check on you to keep track of the changes in your physical condition. ”

"In addition, all four of us must keep Yoshimitsu's physical condition a secret, and we must not leak these circumstances to avoid some unexpected trouble. That's part of the reason I've invested in this hospital – it's too easy to leak secrets when doing these things in China, and there are only a lot of tests that we can do in the police department's forensic laboratory. Of course, I have already disposed of all the examination materials related to Jiguang in this hospital...... So, tomorrow, let's go back to Jinguan City. ”

The next day, the four of us flew back to Jinguan City.

As soon as I got off the plane, something unexpected happened.

- Shen Tangzhi received another text message from K!

Although the text message was sent to Shen Tangzhi's mobile phone, K's tone was clearly talking to me:

[Congratulations!]

You have taken another big step towards our great goal!

I'm already a little impatient - you got the volume of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Codex?!

But that's okay, I'll find out soon.

Enjoy this important achievement with your friends, because it's worth celebrating.

- Your comrade and best friend: K]

As soon as I finished reading it, Shen Tangzhi and I said almost at the same time: "How does K know what we got?!" ”

And the old knife said: "Why is this guy gay?" ”

Based on such a text message alone, we naturally couldn't come to any special conclusions, but we concluded that K must have some kind of special way to get the general content of our actions, but for some reason, K didn't seem to know the specific details.

In addition, there will be no traitors among the four of us, I am convinced of that.

K's text message also gave us another important piece of information, that is, the ancient book that was absorbed by my blood jade turned out to be one of the volumes of the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters of the Secret Codex"!

I still remember that a mysterious text once appeared in the blood jade:

[Netherworld, the gate of death and life.

The Quartet is lacking, and the ancestral god Zhaozi.

The key to the Yellow Springs, the blood book of the Tattoo.

By the heavens, Xuanjun seven chapters. 】

It turned out that the so-called "Xuanjun Seven Chapters" was full name "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Classic", and the "Earth Dragon Sacrifice Summoning Jar" I got turned out to be one of the volumes of "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Classic".

Could it be that there are six other volumes in this world for such a mysterious and mysterious ancient book?

So, K's real purpose is also for this "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Codex"?

None of these questions could be answered for the time being, and after we returned to Jinguancheng, we didn't receive any more information about K, as if none of these things had happened.

Everything is back to the way it should be.

Lao Dao and I continued to take on some cases one by one, most of them were trivial things about finding cats and dogs, and there were also a few murders, but they were all man-made, and there were no supernatural things.

Shen Tangzhi and Hyde continued to work at the Chengnan Police Bureau, staying in the laboratory every day and dealing with the corpses.

During this time, Jinguan City was quite calm, and there were no major cases, Cheng Cheng was rarely idle, but he also invited us to drink from time to time.

In order to pay off his debts, Li Yi still reports to my grocery store every day - of course, it is impossible to be on time, and he often comes at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

If it weren't for the blood jade I wore on my chest and the snake pupil blood ring on the middle finger of my left hand, I would have even begun to wonder if I had actually been to the Himalayas and experienced such a strange adventure.

It is worth mentioning that after returning to Jinguan City, whether it is the blood jade or the snake pupil blood ring, it seems to be out of order, and no matter what method I use, it has not caused them to react.

Of course, the snake pupil blood ring was still firmly fastened on my middle finger - the snake pupil gem on the ring turned from blood red to gray, but it still couldn't be taken off, it was like it grew directly in my flesh and blood.

And I tried to telepathically call out to the octopus, but my call was like a mud cow into the sea, and there was no response, as if the guy was in a deep sleep.

During this time, I also thought a lot.

Why did I fall into a coma after casting the [Slave Possession Spell]?

It's because my body is fragile.

Those ancient monsters must have an order of magnitude of terrifying energy and physical strength, and I will definitely not be able to withstand the ancient spells cast in my human body.

In other words, that damn octopus monster ended up tricking me!

If it weren't for the fact that I had just swallowed the Lizhu and had some of the power provided by the Worm Pattern, I might have been drained of all my energy and become a dried corpse the moment I cast the spell!

Of course, after the spell was successfully cast, I was possessed by the octopus water monster, and all my physical fitness was greatly improved, which was also a little benefit.

As soon as I thought about it, my stomach "gurgled".

With a wry smile on my face, I quickly grabbed a handful of Defoe chocolates from the grocery counter — a handful — yes, and stuffed them into my mouth one by one.

Alas, Lao Tzu didn't make money by opening this grocery store by himself, and now he has to eat so much food all day long, just chocolate, and it is calculated in "boxes", this special meow is not to eat Lao Tzu's rhythm of poverty?!

Really annoyed, the mobile phone that was put aside began to "buzz" - it was Shen Tangzhi's phone.

"Section Chief Shen, didn't you just go to your place yesterday and be studied by you? You won't call me over again, will you? Although I am very resilient, you always use such a thick syringe to draw blood from one syringe after another, as if you don't need money - I need money to eat...... Otherwise, would you like to give me some 'research funds' or something? ”

"Well, that's it?" The person on the other end of the phone didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, and even wanted to laugh a little.

I accentuated: "I'm serious. ”

"Lack of money?"

"I've never understood the word 'poverty' so deeply and concretely – do you know what it's like to eat yourself poor? I'm almost done with all the snacks and instant noodles in my grocery store...... The point is, I'm running out of money right now. ”

"I have a commission ......"

"How much? No! Whatever, just give the money and do it! Tell me about it! ”

"Three o'clock in the afternoon, 199 Cihang Road, Kirishima Psychological Counseling Center."

“OK！”

I readily agreed, who is the client, what is the content of the commission, what the fuck, I love work, I have never loved work so much......

But thinking about it, why are your eyes a little sore?

I can't help but think of a lyric: "I thought I would get revenge (getting rich), but I didn't ......"

Really, if I had fought for some anger at that time, it would have been nice to leave a little azure jade dew for the old knife, how could this treasure have to be at the same price as diamonds, right? On carat selling! It's cool to think about.

But...... Alas, don't mention the past, life has been stormy......

……

I sat in the reception room called Kirishima Counseling Center and looked around.

I didn't expect that on Cihang Road, the famous "entertainment street", in addition to food, bars, and entertainment clubs, there was such a "psychological counseling center", which stood out from the crowd, and it was difficult not to attract people's attention - so I found this place without much difficulty.

This psychological counseling center does not have the old-fashioned "hospital" in my impression at all, nor does it have the unpleasant smell of disinfectant potion, but it has a surprisingly faint smell of women's perfume.

The overall décor is of a Nordic style of coldness, with grey and linen walls and ceilings, neat tables and chairs, and the occasional floor-to-ceiling vase with a slender neck in the corner, with dried flowers or even bare branches......

I also have a certain understanding of psychology, although such an environment, although it is not like a "clinic" or "hospital", lacking a sense of ritual to bring psychological hints to patients, but to a large extent, it can also eliminate the patient's nervousness, easy to reassure.

But there is a premise for all of this: the psychological counselors here must be highly qualified and very confident in their business abilities, otherwise, if they play too much, they will get away with it.

But I had asked the front desk before, and the baby-faced lady said that there was only one counselor in this counseling clinic, and that was the boss.

【Kirishima smoked

Kirishima Psychological Counseling Center

Chief and sole psychotherapist and president

Phone-xxxxxxxxxxxxx】

I flipped through the business card in my hand and thought to myself, "Could this be a Japanese?" Only Japan likes to use the word "president".

Moreover, the name "Kirishima Smoke" is a woman's name, right?

Also, "Chief and Only Psychotherapist and President......

Heh, it seems to be funny.

Just as he was thinking, there was a knock on the door of the reception room: "Tuk Tuk! ”

A soft and slender female voice said outside, "Excuse me, can I come in?" ”
