The students who were only in their second year had already advanced to the sixth-order grandmaster, which was one of the few in the entire history of the Federation.

And this is inseparable from Jolena's character.

Jolene knew that Lin Xiao had provided her with a lot of help, but this was not a reason for her to slack off or even rely on him.

At the end of the day, the two are just ordinary teammates.

If you want to pursue an illusory ideal, you must be prepared to be alone and constantly become stronger.

"Used to strengthen Starry Night... Sixth-order material? "The commission is about the demon god, and this salary is enough for conscience.

Lin Xiao nodded and said, "I'll be ready." ”

Jolena raised her eyes and stared at Lin Xiao, stretched out her right hand wearing black and red gloves, and clenched it into a fist: "Happy cooperation." ”

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Lin Xiao bumped fists with her. The corners of Jolena's mouth moved slightly, and she turned and walked towards the red locomotive.

Jolena crouched on the back of the car, her ponytail hung down on her waist, her long legs stepped on the ground, turned the handlebars, turned her head and said, "Don't be late for a combat meeting in the coffee shop in the afternoon." ”

"It's Monday." Lin Xiao reminded.

"Master Bop's class, skipped." Jolene said, "Remember to help me with my tuition... Ancient language, I don't want to fail. ”

"The make-up fee will be calculated separately." Lin Xiao said, "If you are financially struggling, you can consider it separately. ”

"Huh... Let's go. ”

The beam of the motorcycle light moved, and the shadow of the horsetail disappeared around the corner of the alley.

In the dim night, Lin Xiao crossed the "Lust Fragment" in his hand, preparing to go home to sleep and think about the next plan.

Now that the followers of the Demon God of Lust have appeared, the next step is to follow the clues and look for the traces of "Asmantis".

"Asmontis wants to be popular."

Lin Xiao stared at the smooth and white jade pieces like mutton fat, and said in a deep voice:

"But why ......?"

On Monday, August 8, Lin Xiao learned from Chu Yun that the card breaker had been arrested by the police.

"Didn't ask anything." Chu Yun said, "Three sentences are not separated from his daughter." ”

"Could it be the human body of Asmantis... Ahem, I mean the boarder, also a little girl? Lin Xiao boldly speculated.

Chu Yun was silent, and then said: "The demon god will create different illusions based on different human beings, and your presumption is too arbitrary. ”

"Still."

He paused: "According to the Biography of Terbia, Asmontis is of half-human, half-witch blood, and once possessed a human woman. And then based on the act of the card faller who kidnapped women and acquired traits. Asmantis does have a high probability of possessing a human woman. ”

"According to the course of action of the card faller, the scope of the investigation can be narrowed down again." Lin Xiao said.

"Well, I'll take care of the investigation."

"Infiltrate the work and leave it to me." Lin Xiao said.

The corners of Chu Yun's mouth twitched: "...... Goodbye. ”

The voice call was cut off, Lin Xiao shrugged, looked at the early morning sun outside the window, and just got up from the sofa and received the call again.

"Oh, Lin, I'm really sorry to bother you so early, but I have an urgent matter, old man, and I can't find someone to substitute for you...... Look, are you busy this afternoon? Can you give me a 'Ancient Languages Lesson'? Master Boppu said with a smile.

"I've got an appointment for the afternoon, Master." Lin Xiao apologized.

"Ah, so, well... After all, it happened suddenly..."Master Boppu scratched his head.

"What is it?" Lin Xiao was slightly curious.

"Oh, I have a friend's daughter who lives in the hospital and entrusts me with her care. The hospital called this morning and said she was getting worse, so I had to go and have a look. ”

"Where's that friend?"

"Oh, archaeologist, the risk of death is still high—" Master Bop, still speaking wittily, in a low tone.

It is indeed a matter of importance, not to mention that it is rare for Master Bopu to speak.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment... You can advance the other work, explain it to Chu Yun and them, and postpone the combat meeting by two hours.

"You go to the hospital, I'll substitute for you." Lin Xiao said.

"Really! Forest... Thank you so much! Master Boppu said from the bottom of his heart.

End of contact. Lin Xiao called Jolena again, saying that she had to go to school to substitute teach in the afternoon, and the combat meeting was postponed to the evening.

In the afternoon, the bell rang.

Lin Xiao stepped into the sleepy classroom with the bell ringing, and the classroom suddenly sounded an 'oh' sound.

Funny young teachers, coupled with the fact that the lessons they teach have something to say, substitute teaching is always popular with students.

In the front row, the girl in a red dress held her cheeks, the pen flew between her fingers, and she raised her ruby eyes and looked over.

Lin Xiao: "......"

Didn't this skip class?

Jolene lowered her eyes and looked at her notebook, her mind wandering.

It also depends on who is coming to the class.

*

The little old man changed into formal clothes, neatly groomed the few remaining strands of hair, and came to the hospital solemnly with a lily in his hand.

Thinking of the orphan girl left behind by his friend, Bop's mood is low... Wishing her a speedy recovery.

In the hospital, the pungent smell of disinfectant water wafts, and patients in striped suits walk with the support of their families.

Bopu turned into a single room in a high-rise building, which was bright and spacious, with white electronic curtains open to see birds passing by in the blue sky.

A precision instrument that is so quiet that there is almost no sound, and the values beat steadily. The scrawny girl on the bed was full of catheters, about seven or eight years old.

She had a catheter in her nose and stared out the window in a daze.

"Little dream—" Boppu tried to call, but received no response.

At the nurse's beckoning, he inserted the lily into the vase on the bedside table, replacing it with a relatively tender lily.

"In the morning, the patient resisted treatment and tried to pull out the ventilator, but fortunately the nurse found it in time and rescued him......"

The doctor whispered, "Her respiratory failure can be relieved by endotracheal intubation, and the pain can be relieved with sedative medication and analgesic medication." But the psychological difficulties require you to do the work. On our side, we will actively treat. ”

Bopu looked at the girl in a daze, and then sighed softly: "Okay, thank you, doctor." ”

After all, he is not a relative of the girl, so how much can he help the girl......

About three years ago, Xiaomeng's father brought back a stone tablet from the desert, and the ancient characters recorded on it were likely to spark a new research boom.

But then, Xiaomeng's father disappeared in the following archaeological work.

The daughter, who remained at home, was unconscious and was found by Bop, who visited her nearly three days later, and rushed her to the hospital.

Doctors found a variety of rare diseases in Xiaomeng's body, which caused Xiaomeng to be awake for no more than an hour a day, almost indistinguishable from a vegetative person.

Xiaomeng's mother, unable to stand her husband's perennial life outside, divorced and ran away as early as after giving birth to Xiaomeng, and there was no news.

Therefore, as the doctoral supervisor of Xiaomeng's father, Bopu took the initiative to take over the responsibility of taking care of Xiaomeng.

Bopp sat in a folding chair and watched, and the girl fell into a deep sleep again.

In her sleep, her pale and bloodless face was radiant, like a sleeping princess in a fairy tale.

Bopp thinks... Perhaps only in the dream created by the sedative drug can she temporarily get rid of the pain and dream of the life she wants.

"Ugh." The old man sighed.

The doctor asked me to do psychological work on my little dreams.

But... I can't do anything at all...

As the twilight faded, the electronic curtain was automatically closed, and the last dim light fell on the girl's face, and then slowly disappeared.

Bopp got up, put on the hood of the hanger at the door, shook hands politely and sincerely, and finally looked at the girl in the dream, and turned away with a twinkle in his eyes.

The little old man cheered up: "Let Lin Xiao substitute today, I have to thank him again......"

Back at Honeysuckle, Lin Xiao had just finished the course, and Master Bopu invited him to eat in the faculty cafeteria, expressing his sincere gratitude.

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Lin Xiao smiled, "How is that girl's condition?" ”

Bopp sighed and shook his head: "The situation is very bad. ”

As the conversation opened, Bopp gave a general account of the girl's illness and family background.

When he heard that the girl's father brought back the mysterious slate, and then his whereabouts were unknown, and his daughter was unconscious, Lin Xiao's heart moved slightly, and said:

"Did the slate succeed in deciphering it?"

"I also tried to search for his house, but I found nothing, so I guess he disappeared." Bophut Road.

Lin Xiao fell into thought.

In the worldview of the existence of gods, archaeology is indeed a dangerous work, after all, it may accidentally provoke the demon god......

Bopu said helplessly: "The 'Santa Maria Hospital' is a private hospital, and even I feel that the treatment fee is quite expensive. ”

His tone fell: "Moreover, the doctors all say that the possibility of Xiaomeng's recovery is slim. I don't know exactly what to do now......"

After Lin Xiao comforted Master Bopu, she silently wrote down the name of the hospital.

The "Lust Fragment" in the fire can perceive the power of lust of the same origin.

It seems that it is necessary to go to that hospital in person and investigate.

……

…

"The card master had arrived at a private hospital in Star Atlas City to visit his dying daughter."

It was late at night, and in the office of the secret service group at the base of the investigation team, a man in a suit and leather shoes stood in front of a whiteboard and said in a deep voice:

"It's a pity that I couldn't be rescued, and since then, I've behaved abnormally."

Lin Xiao rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "You mean, suspect that he was in the hospital and was bewitched by the demon god?" ”

"Hospitals are just the most suspicious locations." Chu Yun said, "After all, this place has the most to do with his daughter. ”

"What's the name of that hospital?" Jolene asked.

"Santa Maria Private Hospital. It is twice as large as the largest public hospital in Xingtu City. Sigrid replied, wiggling the tablet.

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, his eyes flickered, and the dark clouds shrouded in his heart gradually became eyebrows.

In the afternoon, the hospital where Master Bopp went was none other than 'St. Mary'.

Jolene got up and said:

"It's too late to go to the hospital to investigate."

"I'll go with you." Lin Xiao's tone was serious.

If the demon god is really hiding in that hospital, then the hospital that saves lives will become the most dangerous place.

After all, Asmantis, since he can bewitch one card master, he can also bewitch other card masters.

What's more, considering the other patients, I can't collapse the hospital with a sword...... It's a huge nerf!

"Forget it...... I'll drive you. Chu Yun said helplessly, "Remember, don't mess around." Once you've done your investigation, come back and summarize your plan before you take action! ”

Jolene calmly retorted:

"Adaptability is the most important dueling ability of card masters."

Lin Xiao nodded.

I don't know what the plan is, I just know I'm going to kill indiscriminately!

……

Santa Maria Maggiore's Hospital, the full name of which is "Our Lady of Mary Private Hospital".

Legend has it that Mary, the biological mother of Jesus, conceived and gave birth to a Son when she was a virgin, so she was called "Our Lady".

This hospital covers a vast area and has developed technology, and medical prices have risen with the tide. However, it has an excellent reputation and is the first choice for many wealthy people.

The night is deep, and the summer night sky is almost blue, dotted with starlight. Even if you know it, you have already fallen asleep. A black sedan circled the statue of Santa Maria at the entrance of the hospital and arrived at the hospital's inpatient building.

"Wait until I park the car and let's go inside." Chu Yun took off his seat belt and looked uneasy about the two of them: "I'm afraid that you will scare the front desk." ”

Lin Xiao touched his face... Am I scary? He turned his head from the front seat and looked at Jolena, who had long legs.

The girl with a high ponytail hugged her arms, her face was cold, and she faintly exuded the temperament of a bad girl, and when she raised her eyes, her ruby eyes flickered.

Jolena: "How... Oh. ”

Lin Xiao sat upright: "Not much." ”

In the middle of the night, it is indeed easy to scare the nurses.

"I'll stay in the car." Sigrid shook the tablet in the back seat: "Remember to keep the communication smooth!" ”

Chu Yun, Lin Xiao, and Qiao Lina walked into the inpatient building.

Chu Yun was negotiating with the front desk, and the two of them stood in the back and observed the surroundings.

In an instant, Lin Xiao's fire came with a hint of strangeness, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the ceiling, like looking at the high-rise building of the hospital through reinforced concrete.

"What's wrong?" Jolene asked in a low voice.

"Upstairs." Lin Xiao condensed and said, "Enemy, it's upstairs." ”

*

There were no lights on in the room, and a beam of moonlight shone on the girl's pale face, and the instrument flashed a cold blue light.

The girl's body was full of catheters in many places, her eyes were closed, her face was painful, and a fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

The values on the instrument changed abruptly, and tiny gray light chips oozed from the girl's body, like a dissipated soul, forming a gothic girl with a cold face in the moonlight.

Asmontis pulled a coin with a demon symbol from the side pocket of her gothic skirt and muttered to herself:

"Front, I control your body. On the other hand, you suffer yourself. ”

The coin flew up, flipped in the moonlight, and landed on the back of Asmantis' hand, and she nervously removed the back of her hand, her eyes suddenly strange.

"Tsk, I lost the bet again." Asmontis looked at the girl, "You're in luck. ”

"As for the people who are in the way now......"

Asmantis's eyes were stained with white light, and he whispered, "I'll help you solve it." ”

Hallucinations spread like a field, enveloping the entire hospital.

"Sorry sir, we can't really disclose patient information......" said the nurse.

Chu Yun showed the black gold certificate of the investigation team: "Isn't it okay to have this?" ”

The nurse hesitated, and suddenly glanced up at the ceiling, only to see the lights go out with a 'snap', and the entire inpatient building fell into darkness almost instantly.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

The ceiling rumbled and shook, and a behemoth smashed through more than 20 layers of reinforced concrete from the top floor in a row, and its head drilled out of the ceiling with a 'bang', opening its bloody mouth towards Lin Xiao and the others!

The behemoth was like a machine, glowing with metallic luster, and the whole was as black as a steel python, and the eyes on the skull lit up with blood-red light.

"What is this?!" Chu Yun's expression froze.

"Summed up as ......"

Lin Xiao looked up at the mechanical head and said in a deep voice:

"Mechanical Dragon."
