"I’ve said it long ago, it’s the healing energy. By using the energy to clear the patient’s blocked energy, the problem can be fundantally solved," Chen Xuan said unhurriedly.
Dong... dong...
The sound of a bamboo waterwheel clashing ca from outside.
The atmosphere at the scene was silent and sowhat oppressive. The two disciples seated behind Dean Sun stared at Chen Xuan, wanting to speak but hesitating, with a look of surprise almost spilling from their eyes.
Apparently, they didn’t expect that Chen Xuan would still insist on saying this in front of Dean Sun.
Sun Suigong remained silent for a mont and then raised his right hand, keeping his five fingers facing the sky.
Honestly, this gesture was a bit strange.
Yue Beifeng whispered, "What is master doing?"
"I don’t know," You Chi shook his head. "Is this so kind of hint?"
At this mont, they heard Chen Xuan speak, "The Qi condenses outside, it’s a precursor to casting a spell."
What does that an? The two exchanged glances.
Unexpectedly, Dean Sun started laughing, "Hahaha... Not bad, it seems what you said is true, you can indeed sense the Spiritual Qi!"
"I’ve never liked lying," Chen Xuan also smiled slightly. "It’s just that I didn’t expect that while you, Dean, could use the energy to cast a spell, the disciples of Beitian Academy don’t even know what Qi is. Don’t you teach this?"
This remark made Yue Beifeng and You Chi look a little gloomy.
"Mr. Chen, it’s not that we know nothing about Spiritual Qi and Immortal Techniques, we just never imagined that the Qi you ntioned referred to that mysterious Spiritual Qi," You Chi still spoke gently, but there was still a hint of disappointnt in his eyes. "Moreover, it’s just like you said, it’s not sothing that can be mastered simply through teaching..."
"There are always few people with a talent for Qi Sensing, you don’t have to bla yourselves," Sun Suigong interrupted him, "Beitian Academy needs dical talents, you are experts in this field. Compared to Qi Sensing, saving lives is more important. And Little Friend Chen just happens to be able to sense Qi and heal people."
Since he said so, Chen Xuan didn’t bother with the previous attitude of Beitian Academy’s disciples anymore.
"I thought the Dean would continue to ask how I learned the healing energy," Chen Xuan took a sip of tea, considering this topic closed.
"Hehe, everyone has their own opportunities and privacy, how could I possibly ask you about these? Just like you don’t know how I awakened the ability to sense Qi and mastered those techniques," Sun Suigong said indifferently.
Actually, he could know.
Just scan a few tis with the scanner gun.
Of course, Chen Xuan would never take out the scanner gun in front of the other party — even if they didn’t understand what this action ant, the thing was too conspicuous.
"Since you can cure this disease, I feel much more at ease," Sun Suigong said again, "I wonder how many tis a day Little Friend Chen can use the healing energy?"
Chen Xuan suddenly realized sothing was wrong, "What... are there others with this disease?"
"Exactly. Things have co to this point, I can also tell you — the illness of the Gu Family’s daughter is not an isolated case. It was only after contacting major hospitals that we discovered this situation."
Then Dean Sun slowly revealed a shocking piece of information.
Up to now, the number of people reported with symptoms similar to Gu Zhaoning is as many as 823 people, eighty percent of whom are in Jiang City. Tracking their movents reveals that in the past two months, they have all been to a common place, Jiang City International Airport.
This is not the most chilling part.
Not everyone can receive excellent dical resources like the Gu Family’s lady, and due to the unclear cause of the disease, with symptoms resembling a weak cold, many people didn’t take it seriously until they died of organ failure. As of now, 109 people have died from the disease.
Moreover, the number reported is just this many; what about those not reported? It already has the montum of a new epidemic.
"Thanks to the Gu Family’s attention, we realized the extrely serious nature of this matter. But it also puts us in a difficult position, because we can’t identify the cause of the disease. Various tests couldn’t find a relevant pathogen, nor can we treat it as a contagious disease," Sun Suigong said slowly.
Chen Xuan could understand this point; the hospital issuing a risk warning, the Centers for Disease Control conducting screenings and isolation, all require evidence to execute. If the source is unknown and the cause is unknown, not knowing where to prevent or how to treat, spreading the word would purely incite chaos in society, serving no purpose other than creating panic.
"Until the recent Jiang City TV Station incident gave us a hint. We started to suspect whether this is another criminal case involving an Ability User."
"So I made a groundbreaking decision to make a noise to the outside world, hoping that those with abilities would co forward and give it a try. In so sense, this is equivalent to putting the Gu Family’s daughter in a relatively risky position, accepting so non-dical professionals to treat her. Fortunately, we indeed found soone with such abilities."
No wonder the scene looked so lively yet sowhat reckless... Chen Xuan thought, it turns out Beitian Academy had done this out of desperation. The so-called "non-dical professionals" they ntioned were probably looking for Ability Users to give it a try.
"Of course, Little Friend Chen’s actions further convinced that this is an intentional malicious cri," Sun Suigong said, stroking his beard. "So if we can successfully curtail this matter, you are the one with the greatest rit."
"What did I do?" Chen Xuan asked.
He held up two fingers, "Firstly, you said that the person expelling evil spirits might not be wrong, and secondly, you actively asked if Gu Zhaoning experienced anything strange before she fell ill. Little Friend Chen must have noticed sothing unusual to do this, right."
This Dean of Beitian Academy... really is a sly old fox. Chen Xuan concealed his astonishnt by drinking tea. It wasn’t surprising that he knew of the first incident, considering the stir it caused, but he didn’t expect him to notice the second one as well. No, it should be that a disciple heard his question and silently recorded it.
His gaze reached past Sun Suigong, landing on the two disciples behind. The irritable man imdiately locked eyes with him. Though he didn’t understand why Chen Xuan was looking at him, firmly following the principle that whoever looks away first loses, he didn’t blink an eye. Then glancing at the handso man, You Chi gave him a gentle smile before lowering his gaze.
Alright... confird it was this person.
Chen Xuan looked back at the Dean, "Since you’ve already suspected this to be related to Ability Users, why not cooperate with the Dinsional Limit chanism? Don’t they often state that they are the ones who understand abilities the best?"
"Is the Dinsional Limit chanism a dostic organization?" Sun Suigong asked back.
Chen Xuan didn’t expect that this was what he cared about.
"There is a branch of theirs in Jiang City, but there are also many overseas. According to their own words, the Dinsional Limit chanism does not belong to any country, it’s completely independent, serving all humanity, and I trust organizations like this the least!"
The last sentence ca out strongly and firmly.
Then Sun Suigong shifted the topic, "Little Friend Chen is not part of the chanism, right? I checked their recruitnt announcents of the past two days, and your na wasn’t among them."
It seems they had verified whether every visitor belonged to the Dinsional Limit chanism.
Wasn’t that a coincidence?
"To be honest with you, I don’t trust them either," Chen Xuan grinned. "Of course, speaking of which... they probably wouldn’t be interested in my dical Technique either."
"No matter, Beitian Academy values it very much," Sun Suigong shook his head repeatedly, "I believe that in the developnt direction of the next ten years, the pharmaceutical industry closely related to human affairs will be an extrely important branch. But that’s all for later, the current priority is to solve the issue of the disease with no known cause. Can Little Friend Chen help Beitian Academy once more to eradicate this crisis for the people of Jiang City?"
Indeed, history has changed.
Just like Lin Qing said... When the matters of the Ability Users were exposed to the public, when the Dinsional Limit chanism was forced to change its strategy and recruit ahead of schedule, the future’s track had quietly been shaken. On the road to dominating the world, wasn’t there no one who ever opposed the chanism? But due to the huge power disparity, the sparks of resistance were eventually extinguished one by one. Now that the tiline has been moved up so much, perhaps the people standing up will have a bit more of a fighting chance?
And for this hidden organization that doesn’t trust the chanism, Chen Xuan felt that he should help as much as possible, both emotionally and rationally.
He’s not choosing a side or faction.
Because he himself represents one.
"Of course, I won’t hesitate," Chen Xuan answered.
