Chapter 16: The Bloody Finger Tiger
The staff of Hangzhou First Hospital did not know what kind of person could create such a momentum, and a patient was actually sent by helicopter and directly invited experts for consultation. It is usually difficult for these medical experts to even meet each other, and even registration requires special care to be able to hang up, how many people are fighting for an expert number? At this time, they are all gathered in the same ICU ward, and the target of their service is Gu Xiaobai.
Long Xiangyu peeked inside through the glass of the ward, but she couldn't see anything that could reassure her, when Gu Xiaobai was sent in, she vaguely saw his scorched face, it was the first time she had seen such a terrifying injury in more than twenty years, and the shock in her heart was naturally intense.
Fortunately, the doctor quickly made the decision to operate, in fact, looking at their faces, he knew that the situation was not good, but Long Xiangyu was not worried, because she knew that Gu Xiaobai was a veritable "monster".
The operation lasted about four hours, and when the doctor walked out of the operating room, his face was full of horror, and he looked at Long Xiangyu with the expression of looking at a monster, which was more or less already expected by her.
"Are you a family member of a patient?"
Although Long Xiangyu was embarrassed in her heart, she didn't care about pretentiousness, and hurriedly replied: "No, I'm his boss." β
"Do you know who he is, or rather, is he human?" said the doctor, his body trembling slightly, one hand clinging to the corner of his white coat.
"Huh?" Long Xiangyu didn't react.
"His body burned so badly that he would have died under normal circumstances," the doctor paused and continued, "but apparently he doesn't belong to the ranks of normal people, and he doesn't even need us to come back to life." β
"So he's okay?" Long Xiangyu's expression became relaxed.
"No, you didn't understand what I was talking about, his body was repairing itself, and he could heal himself from such horrible burns, do you know what I mean?" the doctor sweated profusely in a hurry, almost madly looking back at his own eyes.
"He's fine, thank you, doctor!" Long Xiangyu bowed slightly.
"Ah, you don't understand what I'm talking about!" the doctor simply scrambled out and down the hallway, his head shaking wildly. Seeing Long Xiangyu shook his head, these medical maniacs were really incomprehensible.
When she really saw Gu Xiaobai, Long Xiangyu finally understood the doctor's words. At this time, Gu Xiaobai was scorched black, but cracks continued to appear in the scorched skin, new tissues were growing out from below, and the white and tender flesh broke through the blood scab, just like a snake molting.
Although the scene was magical, the wounds were equally terrifying, the front half of Gu Xiaobai's face was all burned black, and there was hardly a complete body tissue visible, even if it had been treated, it still couldn't eliminate the pervasive fishy smell, and the entire ward was filled with this strange smell.
Long Xiangyu stayed in the hospital for an afternoon, and when it was late, she simply booked a room in the hotel next to the hospital, planning to come back the next day.
The next day, Long Xiangyu came to the hospital early in the morning, and when she pushed open the door of the ward, she was completely stunned by the scene in front of her, Gu Xiaobai's hospital bed was covered with scattered charred black blood scabs, and he himself was already intact, lying on the bed, his chest slowly rising and falling, and everything seemed normal.
"Are you here?" Gu Xiaobai got up and sat on the bed and looked at Long Xiangyu, who was looking for a seat.
"You looked scary yesterday, but today you're completely fine, you're such an amazing guy. Long Xiangyu had to admire.
"I have to thank that old Li Tou, but I have to thank Ouyang Xun for not hurting important parts. β
Long Xiangyu's expression instantly became cold, "I got the news, Ouyang Xun is dead, what is the situation?"
"Speaking of this, I still think it's strange, what kind of mission is this, do you know what mysterious activities of those families?" Gu Xiaobai leaned his arms behind him and found a comfortable position to lie down.
"I've heard of some, it should be the selection of newcomers to the family, but in recent years, the taste has changed, in order to win, most families will find people from outside, just to win the family status, so there have been many families in recent years, I heard Uncle Ouyang say that the Ouyang family has withdrawn for several years, but why will he participate this year, he is not willing to tell me, in short, Ouyang Xun's death hit him hard, and I will not bother anymore. Long Xiangyu thought of Ouyang Shangqing's heartbroken appearance, and couldn't help but sigh softly, of course, she didn't have any feelings about Ouyang Xun's death, but Ouyang Shangqing had always been very good to herself, so she couldn't help but feel a little compassionate, otherwise she wouldn't be so close to the Long family.
"That guy named Dugu Liuxiang wants to kill him, this guy is like a mad dog biting everywhere, almost killing me, but his ability is really terrifying, burning his own blood, it's a Middle East-level ability. Gu Xiaobai still has palpitations when he thinks about it now, and the devil knows what kind of pain he endured at that time.
"The Dugu family and the Ouyang family have a feud, and besides, in a place where there are no rules of life and death, of course they won't keep their hands, but why did Ouyang Xun attack you?" Long Xiangyu thought thoughtfully.
"Maybe it's because of you. Gu Xiaobai joked with a smile.
"Me?"
"I'm not sure, but there's another person who wants to kill me, and it's because of you. β
"Who?"
"Dongfang cold. When Gu Xiaobai said this name, he felt that the temperature around him had dropped a lot.
"Dongfang Han, how is it possible? I'm not familiar with him. β
"But he knows Yan Guanglong. Gu Xiaobai rolled his eyes.
Long Xiangyu thought silently for a while, and finally smiled, this smile should be regarded as making amends to Gu Xiaobai.
"There's another important piece of news from this mission, which you shouldn't know yet. Long Xiangyu wanted to find a new topic.
"What?" Gu Xiaobai squinted.
"The famous blood-piercing tiger has appeared. β
"Blood-piercing Finger Tiger ......" Gu Xiaobai felt that this name was very familiar, and after thinking about it, wasn't this one of the famous weapons on the same level as his Ling Feng Blade?
"Who found it?"
"Unfortunately, it's Dongfang Han. Long Xiangyu found that she was back to the original topic.
"Haha, it's really good, it's really surprising that it's not enough, there was a bloody finger tiger in the selection of newcomers, these families are really enough to spend money. Gu Xiaobai exclaimed.
"Anyway, something is bound to happen when the name appears, and maybe there will be news in a few days. β
Long Xiangyu handed the peeled orange in his hand to Gu Xiaobai, and then said, "I still have to stay here for a few days, what about you, what are your plans?"
"I have something to go back to Shanghai to find an acquaintance. Gu Xiaobai showed a secretive smile.
"You're not going to find Yan Guanglong, are you?" said Long Xiangyu.
"Who knows?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't provoke him now, the Yan family is still very powerful. Long Xiangyu didn't convince Gu Xiaobai's expectations at all, but what should be said still had to be said.
"Anyway, this matter can't be settled, and it is completely logical for him to repay some of today's price, right?" Gu Xiaobai spread his hands innocently.
Long Xiangyu sighed helplessly, turned around and prepared to leave, but when he walked to the door, as if he remembered something, he suddenly turned around and asked, "Does Ouyang Xun's death really have nothing to do with you?"
"No, I'm still a victim!" Gu Xiaobai's head shook and flew.
"Really?" Long Xiangyu glanced at her again, then turned and walked out the door.
"Heh, your original intention is very good, but it's not so radical, now it's okay, how can I avoid Dad's scolding?"
The news that Dongfang Han had obtained the Blood-Thorn Finger Tiger spread throughout the Huaxia Ability Realm, and there were only a few families in the entire organization that could be named, of course, they were all ordinary families who did not have any ability inheritance at all, and they could not stand at the top of the Huaxia Ability Realm with money and power alone. Most of the Nine Great Artifacts have lost their traces, but this does not affect their place in the hearts of the Adepts, each of whom is the most perfect weapon in the minds of the Adepts, and of course, it is impossible to grasp them safely without abnormal strength. Now that the news of Dongfang Han's mastery of the famous weapon has come out, it can be said that it has shaken the whole world's abnormal organization, so everyone wants to see the style of the famous weapon, and it just so happens that there is a chance in the near future.
The inheritance ceremony of the Oriental family is about to be held, as we all know, there are two kinds of abilities in the generation of the Oriental family, and Dongfang Han also has a younger brother and a younger sister, according to the convention, after the death of the last master of the ability, the ceremony will be reported to pass on the ability to the immediate family of the next generation, this responsibility of course falls on the younger brother of Dongfang Han, according to the traditional inheritance ceremony specifications, there will be a banquet for each family with a face to come and watch, the reason is very simple, this is the best time to consolidate the family's position outside, just like the ceremony of screening newcomersγ Coupled with the fact that Dongfang Han has one of the nine famous weapons, the Blood-Piercing Finger Tiger, this ceremony must be unprecedentedly lively.
What made Gu Xiaobai distressed was that this mission was counted as a failure, although he had a gain of 20 million, but the experience in the ability system did not increase at all, and he originally wanted to be counted as the experience of two missions, but he didn't expect that the dream would come to naught. However, looking at the balance displayed on the mobile phone, Gu Xiaobai's mood became comfortable, and he received 20 million yuan, just like a dream, adding the more than 1 million remitted from Europe before, he was already a real multimillionaire.
Gu Xiaobai slipped out of the hospital that day, got on the plane and rushed back to Shanghai overnight, not because he was eager to return home, but because he was fascinated by hatred, thinking of Yan Guanglong's face, he was angry, and he was determined to give him some color, so he didn't go home directly on the night of getting off the plane, but quietly disappeared into the night.
