"Mu Binglan is staying with Xiaoyi? That’s too reckless. She’s not a dical staff mber; staying there is very dangerous and she could be infected at any ti!" Lin Tian’s face darkened as he stood up, ready to leave.
Qiao Xiaoyi was already infected, and Lin Tian didn’t want anyone else to be, so he intended to drag her back no matter what.
He Xiaofei, however, held him back, shaking her head: "Don’t go, it’s no use. Sister Lan said even if we drag her back, she’ll go again. She’s a living person; we can’t just imprison her, can we?"
"Lin Tian, if it were you lying there, I’d be just like Sister Lan, so I understand her actions, even if they seem reckless and crazy to others." Xiao Manxuan looked up at Lin Tian, very serious.
Lin Tian was taken aback, then said helplessly, "I really don’t understand you won; what are you all thinking? If Mu Binglan gets infected, then is Qiao Xiaoyi’s effort to save her in vain? Would his sacrifice have any value?"
"Don’t worry, I believe they’ll be alright. You, the professor, and Elder Jiang are conducting your research on the special dicine, right? Keep going, you can do it." Xiao Manxuan encouraged seriously, with her pink fist raised.
Lin Tian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He wondered whether to call her naive or overly optimistic—after all, he was just skilled in acupuncture, not an Immortal, capable of solving all problems.
But seeing her hopeful face, Lin Tian couldn’t bear to discourage her, so he rely said, "I hope things go as you all wish."
Lin Tian wasn’t in the mood for his entire day’s classes. When school ended, he had Xiao Manxuan head ho alone while he went to the affiliated hospital by himself.
As he arrived at the hospital and was about to take the elevator, Director Liang and Doctor Yao coincidentally also walked in.
"Lin Tian, you’re here too. I heard from Old He that your research has made progress? He’s been so busy and hasn’t had ti to tell much." Director Liang asked expectantly after pressing the elevator button.
Lin Tian nodded and said, "There’s so progress, I suppose. Professor Hu brought so things back, and we’re working on perfecting a formula, but the progress is slow."
"We’re just doctors; we can treat and save patients, but when it cos to researching new dicine, we have to rely on you. I hope it goes well. We’ve admitted dozens of new cases yesterday; at this rate, the isolation ward will be overwheld." Director Liang sighed.
These people were naturally brought over by Thunder Wolf and the others. Lin Tian, feeling a shift in his thoughts, asked, "How many people have been confird?"
"Most have been confird; they have the sa symptoms. Only a few are still in the window period, but they’ll likely not escape it either." Director Liang said gravely.
Ding! The elevator arrived at the isolation floor. Lin Tian stepped out and saw a girl standing outside a ward, gazing intently through the glass at soone inside.
Director Liang shook his head slightly, sighing, "Except for sleep, this girl has been staying at the hospital all the ti, even eating here. After you all left last ti, she ca here alone, refusing to leave."
"I’ll try talking to her; with her stubborn nature, force won’t work." Lin Tian said softly, walking towards Mu Binglan.
"Lin Tian, if you’re here to persuade , you better not say anything. Even if you drag away, I’ll still co back." Mu Binglan turned her head to Lin Tian, speaking with resolute determination before he could utter a word.
The persuasion he had in mind suddenly vanished, so he had to say, "Be careful here in the hospital, and listen to the doctors. After all, they’re professionals."
Mu Binglan paused, then nodded: "Thank you... Do you think Xiaoyi will be alright?"
"Don’t worry, we’ll do our best. Xiaoyi is my friend too." Lin Tian replied firmly.
"Is there any change in Xiaoyi’s condition?" Lin Tian asked again.
"Nothing for now, but Xiao Zhao had another outburst. Will Xiaoyi turn out the sa?" Mu Binglan asked worriedly.
"I’ll go check on the others first and then see Xiaoyi later." Lin Tian originally ca to use acupuncture to help slow their conditions.
He was about to enter Zhao Weitao’s ward when a woman in a black dress appeared at the end of the corridor, slowly walking over.
"Senior Sister Xiuluo, why are you here?" Lin Tian was very surprised, as the woman in the black dress was precisely Wu Xiuluo, and her appearance was truly unexpected.
Wu Xiuluo walked over without her gaze eting Lin Tian’s. Instead, she looked into the wards, showing a rare look of pity on her usually calm face.
As she reached Lin Tian, Wu Xiuluo said calmly: "I’m going in with you."
"You’re going in? The hospital won’t allow it." Lin Tian was puzzled, as the hospital wouldn’t let anyone else into the isolation ward after what happened last ti.
To Lin Tian’s surprise, Wu Xiuluo stepped forward, entered a string of numbers, and opened the isolation ward’s door, while Director Liang nearby did not co over to stop her.
"What’s going on here?" Lin Tian was even more confused, and Mu Binglan found it odd how this senior seed more familiar with the place than the doctors.
Unable to understand, Lin Tian followed her inside. Wu Xiuluo, seemingly aware of Lin Tian’s confusion, calmly explained: "I helped the hospital treat so difficult cases before; they all know , perhaps even more than they know you."
Now it made sense. With Wu Xiuluo’s miraculous Golden Light Energy, treating diseases might be more effective than dication. Her position in the affiliated hospital was unexpectedly high—a new developnt indeed surprising.
Lin Tian suddenly thought of the possibility that Wu Xiuluo’s Golden Light Energy might be effective against the parasitic Ghost Worms. He rembered how, in the basent, a flash of her golden light dissolved a cloud of Ghost Worms, clearly suppressing them.
"I know what you’re thinking. I’m here to try it today." Wu Xiuluo spoke softly, reading Lin Tian’s mind once more.
Zhao Weitao was awake at this ti; upon seeing Lin Tian enter, he beca excited and tried to get up. But Wu Xiuluo waved her hand, a barely noticeable golden flash passing, and Zhao Weitao imdiately fell unconscious.
"Lin Tian, please draw the curtains and temporarily disable the caras. You wouldn’t want anyone else knowing about our special presence." Wu Xiuluo finally looked Lin Tian in the eye, asking for his help.
It was a request Lin Tian couldn’t refuse. Besides, she had previously helped Ning Luoxi; despite her cool deanor, she was a good person.
Lin Tian casually grabbed a piece of cloth, threw it over the cara, and then used a remote to close the blinds, ensuring no one could see inside.
Wu Xiuluo had already raised her hands, palms down toward Zhao Weitao’s head. Soon, her palms emitted a faint golden light, enveloping his entire head.
In that instant, as the golden light enveloped him, Zhao Weitao’s body shuddered, and a black mist erged from his head, rushing toward Wu Xiuluo!
