The black aura descended suddenly, mysteriously, and quickly, but Lin Tian was even faster. He took a step forward and struck the black aura with a punch, his fist simultaneously igniting in purple flas. The black aura was lted away like ice and snow by the purple flas.
Wu Xiuluo glanced at Lin Tian’s purple flas, her gaze flickering briefly. However, she didn’t ask anything and instead calmly said, "Thank you."
"No need to thank . Even if I hadn’t intervened, it wouldn’t have hurt you, just caused so trouble at most," Lin Tian replied nonchalantly.
However, the changes in the situation were beyond Lin Tian’s expectations. The Yin Sha Qi carried by the Ghost Worm was actually strong enough to counterattack.
Wu Xiuluo said nothing further but strengthened the golden light in her hands, flexible yet not glaring, as it seeped into Zhao Weitao’s head.
As the golden light infiltrated, Zhao Weitao suddenly started trembling violently, his limbs twisting and contracting uncontrollably, like Zhenzi crawling out of a television screen—chanical and eerie.
"Creak... creak..." Unconscious sounds erged from his throat, his expression pained beyond asure, as if possessed by a phantom, beyond his own control.
"Senior Sister Xiuluo, stop it, or he’ll be ruined if this goes further." Lin Tian frowned and reminded her.
An ordinary person’s capacity for pain is limited. Once Zhao Weitao can no longer endure it, he might suffer ntal issues, leaving behind sequelae at best, or becoming a fool at worst, rendering any treatnt futile.
Wu Xiuluo furrowed her brows lightly, unwilling as she was, she reluctantly withdrew her hands. As soon as the golden light was removed, Zhao Weitao cald down, and the agony on his face reduced significantly.
"Once a Ghost Worm parasitizes a human body, it becos very tricky. It’s nearly impossible to eradicate them while ensuring the host’s safety," Lin Tian said solemnly.
"Does it an only destroying the host can solve this? So many innocent lives," Wu Xiuluo’s face showed a compassionate expression.
Although Lin Tian knew he shouldn’t think of unrelated matters at that mont, he couldn’t help but find Wu Xiuluo’s expression bizarre. Most people might simply sympathize, but Wu Xiuluo seed to genuinely sorrow for the suffering of others.
Such an expression on a mortal’s face was indeed perplexing; it seed more befitting of a deity’s.
"We haven’t reached a dead end yet, don’t give up," Lin Tian, thinking she had lost hope, instinctively offered a word of comfort.
"Let’s hope so," Wu Xiuluo said calmly, with no significant emotional fluctuation. "I’m heading back. Be careful yourself."
Wu Xiuluo didn’t make another attempt. She rely reminded Lin Tian, then turned and left the isolation ward. Lin Tian pulled back the curtains and saw her say sothing to Director Liang in the hallway. Director Liang showed a regretful expression.
Lin Tian didn’t need to hear to know what she said, but he didn’t dwell on it. Instead, he began performing acupuncture on Zhao Weitao. Although Zhao Weitao was always at odds with him, Lin Tian wouldn’t take the opportunity to harm him or deliberately withhold treatnt, lest he betray Elder Jiang’s trust—a physician’s trust.
Of course, he wouldn’t stoop to striking at a half-dead person either.
After completing the acupuncture, Lin Tian walked out of the isolation ward and saw Mu Binglan eating a boxed al in the hallway. Upon seeing Lin Tian erge, Mu Binglan promptly stood up. "Lin Tian, I thought you were too busy to have ti to eat, so I ordered an extra portion for you."
Lin Tian accepted it without ceremony and began eating with her in the hallway.
"Mu Binglan, are you planning on staying in the hospital indefinitely?" Lin Tian asked casually.
"Yes, I have already taken leave from my advisor. I will be here with Xiaoyi during this ti," Mu Binglan replied resolutely.
"What if he can’t be healed?" Lin Tian remarked lightly.
"If he dies, my life will go with him. He beca like this to save ," Mu Binglan said sothing truly shocking, without the typical tearful sadness, and her expression showed she ant it.
Lin Tian took a few bites, set down the box, and said, "I see, you like Xiaoyi?"
Mu Binglan, however, shook her head. "I’m not sure, I just feel soone as kind as Xiaoyi shouldn’t endure such suffering."
Lin Tian nodded, asked no more, and after quickly finishing his al, continued acupuncture in other isolation wards. Lin Tian eventually saw a third-rate actress who had been brought in. When he entered, the actress was throwing a tantrum at two nurses.
"Is this garbage food fit for human consumption? Give my phone, I want to order room service from the hotel," the actress yelled, brimming with energy.
Those who just ca in were always like this; Liu Yuansi was no better initially.
"You two leave, let handle this," Lin Tian waved his hand, dismissing the two nurses, who left gratefully, having had enough of the actress’s foul mood.
"Who are you?" the actress asked, surprised as Lin Tian removed his protective mask. At the sa ti, she realized, the young man before her was more handso than any male star she had t.
"I’m Dr. Lin Tian. I advise you to eat properly. This is a nutritional al specially designed by the hospital for this disease. If you don’t eat normally, and your nutrition can’t keep up, we can only insert tubes into you to supply you with nutrient solutions," Lin Tian said coldly.
"I don’t want tubes inserted in ; hurry up and cure . I don’t want to stay here," the actress’s tone softened considerably.
"This disease is highly infectious; you can’t leave," Lin Tian stated plainly.
"Everyone says this; do I have to stay in the hospital for life? How about I tell you a secret, and you treat in return? I heard the nurses gossiping. It’s about a very handso, brilliant doctor who ca to the hospital. They were talking about you, weren’t they?" The actress started chatting with Lin Tian.
"What secret?" Lin Tian frowned, sensing a bad on.
The actress snorted lightly and said, "Since I’m in here anyway, I’m not afraid to tell you. I’ve had affairs with the assistant director, scriptwriter, and director of the film crew, but they haven’t entered the hospital yet. You’d better bring them in too, or who knows how many more won they’ll harm."
Lin Tian’s expression changed and he harshly replied, "Why didn’t you say this when you ca in, damn it..."
After saying this, he took out his phone and imdiately dialed Thunder Wolf’s number. After a few rings, it was answered, "Thunder Wolf, don’t ask, imdiately investigate that actress’s crew..."
"Damn, that actress did it on purpose, right?" After listening to Lin Tian, Thunder Wolf cursed, but just as he was about to yell again, he suddenly stopped. Lin Tian heard the faint sound of standing at attention and then a unified shout of "Instructor."
Instructor? Luoxi is back? Lin Tian was puzzled, and sure enough, Ning Luoxi’s voice ca through the phone: "Lin Tian, it’s Ning Luoxi. I’m back."
"Just in ti, quickly increase manpower; more and more patients are coming to the hospital. Sothing’s bound to happen," Lin Tian warned.
"Let this matter rest for now. Co to the affiliated hospital. The Zhang Family has sent soone. We’re coming over to find you now," Ning Luoxi said solemnly.
