Chapter 3: The Occult Flu
"I know a perfect way to prove it, but there is a word limit for speeches in this forum, and the blank space is too small to write."
"I think it's the result of childhood trauma, and it's a reflection of the prime number of mother-love complexes."
"It expresses the homesickness of prime numbers."
ββ¦β¦β
Yes? Subway was stunned by the strange answers of the pen fairy.
Some of the answers were so distinctive that even Subway suspected that the answerer was the ghost of a well-known historical figure.
Russell shrugged:
"No way, some ghosts are like this, they always like to answer the wrong questions. If you want to get a more accurate answer, it's best to offer a high bounty.
"But don't worry, wait a little longer, there may be higher quality answers.
"There are a little more pen immortals who answer, and the magic weapon mobile phone that has integrated a part of my soul can synthesize the answers of each pen fairy and give a perfect answer. Modern AI technology is used here. β
Unwilling to wait for an answer from the other pen fairies, Subway couldn't wait to grab the phone and post a new question:
"When will the wind chimes return to the dormitory?"
"Question addendum: The wind chimes here refer to the contract spirit of Russell, a mobile phone and app developer."
Immediately, an account with the name "Wind Chimes" replied with a message:
"I'm downstairs, I'll be right up."
The next moment, the female ghost wind chimes came out of the floor of the dormitory, and her snow-white hair fluttered.
As the half-step third-grade female ghost appeared, a chill permeated the dormitory, dispelling the stuffiness and making Subway very useful.
"Is the work in the haunted house over so early today?" Seeing that the wind chimes came back early, Russell asked suspiciously.
Wind Chimes shook their heads: "In order to curb the spread of the epidemic, the haunted house was closed early. β
Russell nodded thoughtfully.
He knew that in recent days, there had been a spread of influenza in the primary hospital, and many students had been recruited. It is basically the relatively weak first-year students who are infected. In an effort to curb the spread of the flu, many gatherings and public places have been restricted.
And this flu is a little strange, and the symptoms are different for different students.
Subway also knew about this and raised his own confusion:
"Speaking of which, why is there still an epidemic of infectious diseases in a community like ours where transcendents gather?"
From the perspective of occultism, after reaching the first-grade level, the life energy aura of an extraordinary person will be much thicker than that of ordinary people, and it will be difficult for "sick qi" to invade the body.
Where can ordinary pathogens be beaten, immune cells that are full of spiritual energy and have extraordinary power?
"It's really rare this year, but it's not impossible." Based on his knowledge of herbology and the knowledge of witchcraft newly learned this academic year, Russell analyzed:
"Just as cats and dogs, plants and trees, and non-living beings can all come into contact with supernatural powers, become supernatural creatures, and even awaken spirituality and wisdom, turning into goblins, ghosts, and spiritual plants.
"Then pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses can do the same!
"What has been raging in the academy recently may be the extraordinary influenza virus that has become a sperm. This flu can also be called the occult flu. β
When Subway heard this, his eyes rolled, and he pretended to be deep:
"It seems that we have encountered the flu virus of late first grade. I didn't expect that the virus could be cultivated so far, it's really terrifying! β
The wind chimes interrupted the two:
"Oh, don't dwell on the cause of the infectious disease. Russell Russell, now that infectious diseases are prevalent, this is a great opportunity for you to show off your skills as a herbalist! β
As he spoke, the wind chimes gestured with an exaggerated gesture:
"You know what? I just heard that the Society of Everything has teamed up with the people of the Sisters of Green Moss, setting up stalls near the offline trading area to see doctors, and also monopolizing most of the healing potions. What they earn is a lot of money. β
Russell also had this intention, bowed his head and pondered for a while.
Will everything?
How are they again?
He remembered that last year, the Society of Everything monopolized the sales of transcendent items on the official website, and Xinghuo also had a lot of conflicts with them after breaking away from the Society of Everything. Russell didn't have much affection for this association force.
As for the Sisterhood of Green Moss, they are much smaller in size and power.
Subway wondered:
"If you're going to be treated, why don't you go to the school hospital?"
Russell shook his head lightly and explained:
"The epidemic of infectious diseases in the primary hospital is very strange, and each student presents different symptoms, and it is often necessary to prescribe the right medicine. In the face of the menacing flu, the university hospital was also a little overwhelmed.
"And the general school doctor is a second-year level transcendent, compared with the elite students in the academy, there is not much advantage.
"That's what makes these medical businesses work."
Halfway through speaking, Russell suddenly remembered something, his pupils dilated slightly, and he said:
"You say, is it possible that the flu in the primary hospital was caused by the people of the Society of Everything and the Sisterhood of Green Moss?"
What?
Hearing Russell's bold guess, Wind Chimes and Subway looked stunned at the same time.
But immediately, Russell denied his idea:
"No, it can't be!
"Although they have gathered students who are good at alchemy, herbalism, and curiosity, and have the ability to do this, the risk is too great.
"This is tantamount to blatantly causing trouble under the nose of the school, and the risks and benefits are seriously unequal. No matter how bold the All Things Society is, they don't dare to do it. β
Wind Chime, who had just been frightened by Russell's bold idea, gasped:
"Scared me to death, I thought I had run into some big conspiracy again?"
Russell looked at the relieved wind chimes and remained silent.
He had such an idea just now because he knew that the seal on his body set by Principal Duncan had been loosened.
His fateful anomalous constitution will be back in effect, and it is likely that he will encounter various important events in the near future, and he will be involved in some great conspiracy.
Putting aside the speculation just now, Russell stood up and accepted the wind chime's suggestion:
"Now that the course is almost over, I will try to set up a stall and treat other students. It's a great way to practice the extraordinary. It just so happens that you can also use the new Bixian app to assist in diagnosis. β
After about a year of research and exploration, Russell basically figured out how to practice the ways of herbology to get spiritual feedback.
In addition to experimenting with the development of new drugs, there are two ways to practice the extraordinary.
The first is that "drugs should be used by people and meet people's needs", and feedback should be obtained from the emotions and psychology of drug users.
The second is to "prescribe the right medicine according to the situation, and refine different drugs to solve the problem".
Setting up a stall to see a doctor is undoubtedly a good choice for practicing the way of herbal medicine.
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, in the physical trading area of the primary hospital, Russell's consultation booth was set up.
He took out the table and chair from his waist bag and sat in front of his stall, waiting for the guests who needed to see a doctor.
Miracle Doctor!
Medicine to cure the disease!
- Wind chimes set up the gold plaque created by Subway himself.
Russell's consultation booth undoubtedly attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians and other stall owners.
Directly opposite Russell's booth is a small clinic jointly run by the Association of All Things and the Green Moss Sisterhood.
Built by a makeshift spell by civil engineering students, this joint clinic has a chic dΓ©cor and a gorgeous exterior. It gathered more than a dozen transcendents from the association of the two academies.
Russell's consultation booth, by contrast, is much shabby.
"And so much business?"
"Just across from it?"
In the small clinic, several students who act as doctors look suspiciously at the consultation booth directly opposite them, which has only one table and one chair.
Pedestrians passed by one after another, and some students who had the flu and wanted to see a doctor unconsciously turned their eyes to Russell's booth, but after a moment of hesitation, they still walked into the small, more formal-looking clinic.
Russell ignored the strange stares of the pedestrians around him and the competitors opposite, fiddling with his phone while debugging the newly developed Pen Fairy APP.
Suddenly, under the screen of the mobile phone, a pale and hazy humanoid phantom with a blurred face emerged.
The phantom's voice cascaded and ethereal:
"I give in, I give in! My lord, I would like to be your contract spirit.
"Please let me go, stop torturing me!"
After seeing that this pale and hazy phantom was finally willing to surrender to himself, Russell snorted coldly in a tone without a trace of emotion:
"Who are you?"
"I'm a sleeping demon!" The pale and hazy phantom made a cascading ethereal sound again.
"So you can talk......" Russell remembered the other party's identity.
It's the Sleeping Demon who was captured from Nocturne 8 months ago and kept in his phone all the time!
After being locked up in his phone, the Negro Demon was still not very obedient, and in order to subdue it, Russell put the photos of the Nemmon Demon and those packaged and compressed exorcism files in a folder.
As a demon, the sleeping demon felt the baptism of various exorcism scriptures up close, as well as the sacred aura revealed by the video and audio of eminent monks, Taoist priests, bishops, and patriarchs presiding over the exorcism rituals, and he was in pain.
