The attitude the doctor and nurse showed just now made Lin Tian lower his guard and get injected with a needle.
After suffering a loss, how could Lin Tian fall in the sa place twice?
Although he was circulating his energy, he was still paying attention to the nurse's movents. Her legs stopped shaking, and even her eyes turned icy cold.
The mont she took out the syringe, Lin Tian had already noticed.
With a twist of his wrist, the syringe landed in Lin Tian's hand.
The nurse was stunned for two seconds; she didn't even know how he did it. His speed was just too fast.
Suddenly, the nurse noticed Lin Tian's eyes. His whites were bloodshot, and his face looked terribly harsh, exuding an aura of killing intent that enveloped her. She wasn't sure if it was an illusion, but she felt the air around her turn cold, as if knives were scraping against her skin.
This ti, her legs started trembling again. Earlier, it was just an act; now she was genuinely afraid.
"Ah~"
Screaming, the nurse moved her trembling legs to run away.
After just two steps, an icy hand clasped her neck. Lin Tian forcibly dragged her back into the room.
"Let go." The nurse tried to struggle. Suddenly, Lin Tian gripped her neck with one hand and pinned her against the wall, lifting her high.
Being choked felt extrely uncomfortable; her legs flailed wildly, and she couldn't breathe even with her mouth wide open.
"Let...let go...of ~" The nurse tried to pry Lin Tian's fingers away with both hands.
She used all her strength but couldn't do anything; instead, she only provoked Lin Tian's fury. The strength of his grip increased, like a giant pincer that could crush her neck in two.
"Let..."
Before she could finish her sentence, her head started to severely lack oxygen, dizziness set in, and her struggle weakened.
Just as she was feeling utterly hopeless, she suddenly heard Lin Tian's icy voice.
"Want to live?"
Those three words intensified the nurse's survival instincts. She nodded vigorously with all her might. Only then was she released by Lin Tian.
Thud~
Her body collapsed heavily to the floor like a puddle of sli.
Now, the only thing the nurse wanted to do was breathe, gulping in air greedily until she finally felt better after a long while.
The sense of being reborn hadn't fully set in when she saw Lin Tian suddenly crouch down. His eyes still emitted a beast-like glow, making her entire body start to tremble uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the nurse felt sothing cold pressed against her throat. Through her peripheral vision, she could see it was the syringe Lin Tian had just snatched from her.
"Tell , what's in this drug? If not, I'll inject it all into you. It's probably not sothing that replenishes yin and yang, right?"
The nurse lifted her snow-white neck, swallowed hard, and then stamred, "I don't know what this drug is called. Dr. Gou just said it would leave a person weak, much like a sedative. Earlier, you kicked Dr. Gou so hard, so...so I wanted to paralyze you and then run..."
Lin Tian narrowed his eyes into slits, staring into the nurse's eyes. His gaze was penetrating, causing the nurse's heart to pound with anxiety.
"And then?"
"Then...bring you to Mr. Qiao's ward. I don't know what exactly they plan to do..."
"Let's go then."
"Huh?" The nurse was dumbfounded for a second, unable to comprehend.
"I want you to lead the way in front, quickly now!"
The nurse shivered again, fearing not only that Lin Tian might inject the syringe into her but also that he might choke her again. Just now, she had truly given up hope.
As Lin Tian followed the nurse to the entrance of Qiao Jiang's ward, he walked as if floating, appearing weak and with tiny beads of sweat covering his forehead.
The nurse wasn't surprised at his appearance. Having walked a short distance, the drug must be taking effect in his body; this should be its effect.
The nurse really wanted to punch and kick Lin Tian to avenge what happened just now, but she didn't dare, fearing Lin Tian still had so strength left, which would spell her doom.
Standing at the doorway of Qiao Jiang's ward, the nurse knocked on the door, and quickly, a fat man opened it.
Inside the room were three people: the fat man, a skinny one, and a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, pale, looking well-rested, and dressed in a white-collar shirt. This person was Qiao Gaoshan, whom Lin Tian had seen in photos.
Seeing Lin Tian's weakened state, Qiao Gaoshan leaned back on the sofa, in high spirits, laughing heartily, and said, "Lin Tian, oh Lin Tian, weren't you just arrogant? Why do you look like a dead dog now, so weak and feeble?"
Lin Tian's eyes were bloodshot, breathing heavily, glaring fiercely at Qiao Gaoshan.
"I know you want to hit , but co on, why don't you? Out of strength, are you?" Qiao Gaoshan laughed heartily.
Then, feeling sothing was amiss, he looked at the nurse and asked, "How much of the drug did you use on him? He looks so weak, he probably can't even give my son a needle, can he?"
The nurse looked embarrassed, uncertainly saying, "I only injected a little; I don't know why he's so weak."
Listening from the side, Lin Tian was speechless. Did he overact?
The drug's effect hadn't materialized in his body; it was locked entirely in his Sea of Qi by his Spiritual Qi. This appearance was just an act, taking advantage of the situation.
"It's fine, more is more." Qiao Dahai looked at Lin Tian and said, "Do you know what drug I had them use on you? It has a nice na, called 'Death God's Alarm Bell.' It's a drug that's spread from abroad."
"This drug has three stages. The first stage is just like you are now, limp and weak. The second stage is ntal disorientation, making you think you're various animals, maybe even a dog, possibly eating feces. The third stage, the poison invades your brain, destroys your nerves, causing brain death, finally turning you into a vegetative state."
Qiao Gaoshan laughed with pride. "I've heard about this drug before and thought it was most suitable to use on you. I spent a lot of money to get it from abroad. I heard you're a great fighter, so to avoid any trouble, the first stage was made just for you."
Lin Tian's lips curled up slightly. One of his aims in taking advantage of the situation was to understand the properties of this drug, after all, he still had a vial on hand, which might co in handy one day.
Also, appearing this way could make Qiao Gaoshan lower his guard, just like the doctor with a great attitude earlier.
