Chapter 228: Chapter 71 ’Expert’ Consultation_2

Master Niu first checked Chen Tianwen’s condition, not sure if he truly understood or just pretended to, and seemed troubled after the examination.

"Honestly, I’m not a professional doctor, and I’m not sure how to treat this. His breath is weak and his vital signs are not good, so maybe I should transfer some Inner Strength to help him catch his breath," he said.

He then had someone arrange Chen Tianwen in a meditative seated position, sat down opposite him, folded his legs, placed his hands against Chen Tianwen’s, and began ’Energy Healing’.

The posture for this Energy Healing looked exactly like something out of a martial arts film Xiao Jie had seen, which made him struggle not to laugh given the seriousness and urgency of the situation, but he suppressed the urge to critique and watched Master Niu perform the healing.

In the game, Qi Gong Masters also have this Skill, which can restore health to teammates and remove debuffs such as Heavy injuries, bleeding, etc.

It was just uncertain if it was applicable to Chen Tianwen’s current condition.

As the Inner Strength flowed, plumes of white smoke began to emanate from Master Niu’s head.

He resembled a human-shaped furnace, emitting a strong heat radiation.

Captain Lin looked grave while Xiao Jie and An Ran quietly observed the turn of events, but the doctor was left dumbfounded.

After a while, Master Niu ceased the flow of energy and took a breath, his hands slowly separating from Chen Tianwen’s body.

"I’ve transferred some Inner Strength to him, which should help him hold on for a while. An Ran—maybe you should try as well?"

"Me?" An Ran hesitated.

"Yes, many hands make light work, right? Don’t Demon Masters also have healing skills?"

"Okay, but just to be clear, my Demon Art is a bit sinister, so don’t get frightened. And, uh—could you please step out for a moment?"

The referred individual was the doctor.

The doctor hastily waved his hand, "Don’t mind me, I am also very interested in this...uh, new concept therapy."

Xiao Jie thought it was quite something for him to come up with such a term.

An Ran glanced at Captain Lin, who signaled with a wave of his hand, and immediately two people in Black Windbreakers came forward and ushered the doctor out.

Only then did An Ran start her work.

This was the first time Xiao Jie had witnessed a Demon Master casting.

An Ran pulled out a dagger and slashed open her palm. As the blood flowed, her eyes suddenly turned a creepy shade of blood-red, her pupils dilating like those of a cat.

She mumbled something incomprehensible, sounding more like the howling of a wild animal than human speech—even Xiao Jie could not understand it.

As An Ran chanted, the blood dripping from her hand turned into a cloud of blood mist. With a wave of her hand, it transformed into a misty snake that entered Chen Tianwen’s body through all openings, instantly turning his previously pale face vividly flushed.

The entire person seemed rejuvenated, his breathing becoming much more stable and strong.

Yet, he still did not wake up.

"This should help him last a bit longer," she said.

Xiao Jie curiously asked, "Can’t you remove the curse from his body?"

An Ran shook her head, "My Demon Art can only enhance his physical vitality; I can’t do anything about soul damage. I suspect he might be under a ghost curse or something of the Soul Capturing sort, which I can’t resolve. You need to find a Taoist, Heavenly Master or someone from the Mysterious Sect. If that fails, maybe a monk reciting scriptures might help."

Xiao Jie thought it was a pity that the Divine Wood Talisman was a piece of Equipment in the game, otherwise he could have tried it himself.

Considering Chen Tianwen was a Qi Men Master—still a Heavenly Master—it was unfortunate he was unconscious, otherwise, he could have asked how to handle this situation.

Although Xiao Jie wasn’t particularly close with Chen Tianwen, they were from the same city and looked out for each other occasionally; they were somewhat friends. Seeing him in this state of unknown life or death, Xiao Jie couldn’t help but worry.

Captain Lin sighed, "In that case, all we can do is wait and hope the expert from the province arrives soon."

Dut—Dut—Dut!

A sudden ringtone sounded, and after Captain Lin picked up and spoke a few words, his expression visibly darkened.

"The ’expert’ from the province is currently raiding in a team and can’t come immediately; it might take a while," he said.

Xiao Jie was astonished, "What do we do now?"

"We can only wait," Captain Lin said with a sense of helplessness.

As they waited for hours, the three, considered ’professionals,’ could only pass the time in the hospital.

Before they knew it, it was night. In the meantime, An Ran and Master Niu took turns to ’treat’ Chen Tianwen again, but his vital signs continued to deteriorate uncontrollably.

Even his breathing became barely perceptible.

As a Beast Tamer without healing abilities, Xiao Jie could only watch helplessly, unsure if it was due to boredom or the hospital lights, but he began to feel drowsy and his eyelids became increasingly heavy.

As nightfall approached, Master Niu, who had stood up, said.

"Folks, let’s not just keep exhausting ourselves; let’s grab something to eat first, what do you say—Xiao Jie, I’m going to get something to eat, do you want me to bring something for you?"

"Uh, anything is fine, I..." Xiao Jie was about to respond when he suddenly heard a fleeting voice.

"Xiao Jie... Xiao Jie... come this way..."

The voice seemed extremely distant yet also like a whisper in his ear. He jerked awake instantly.

Damn, who is messing around making ghost calls?

However, when he looked around, he was startled to find the corridor completely deserted; An Ran and Master Niu had disappeared, and even the two guards who had been at the door were gone.
