"What?!"
The woman and the assistant's faces changed instantly.
The assistant looked back towards the reception hall and frowned, "Brother Long, could it be that you felt wrong?"
"The dead are all over decaying and losing their sanity. How does that little girl look like a dead person?"
The woman also looked at Long doubtfully.
This 1.9-meter tall strong man wiped the sweat on his forehead again and said in a low voice, "That's exactly what I don't understand."
"But! I can be sure that there is a dead person's aura on that little girl!"
The woman and the assistant looked at each other speechlessly for a while.
They both knew Long's abilities.
An extremely rare dual-system ability user, and one of his abilities is the aura perception that all ability user teams dream of!
Simply put, he can accurately distinguish the various biological auras nearby.
Hearing what Long said at this time, the woman looked around at the medical college in front of her doubtfully and wondered, "Could it be from the morgue?"
Long solemnly said, "I don't rule out this possibility, but since the owner of this clinic is not here at the moment, Sister Ying, I still suggest we be more cautious."
"Let's leave today and come back another day to see what the situation is."
The woman looked at her assistant, "Wei, what do you think?"
The assistant wearing gold-rimmed glasses looked at his watch and said, "It's two o'clock now. According to our original plan, this small clinic is worth wasting at most half a day of our time."
"If we leave now, then I don't recommend coming back again, but..."
The assistant looked at the woman as he spoke, apparently he understood the woman's way of doing things better.
Sure enough, the woman hesitated.
"I've heard that there is only one clinic in this city, taking over this clinic is equivalent to taking over the entire city."
"Although it's just a small town, the profits over the course of a year are still considerable."
"So, let's find a hotel in this city to stay overnight tonight, and come back in the evening and tomorrow morning."
The woman's last sentence determined the itinerary for the three of them. The three got into the car and prepared to leave.
Buzz—
In the car, driver Long had just started the engine when Bang!
The armored sedan shook violently and the engine died.
Although stalling under the hands of an experienced driver was not very common, it was understandable. He tried starting it again.
Neither the assistant in the passenger seat nor the woman sitting in the back took it seriously.
However, after waiting for a long time, driver Long still failed to restart the car.
To be precise, he didn't even try to restart it.
The woman and the assistant turned their heads to look. Long was slumped over the steering wheel, completely still.
The assistant thought Long was just feeling unwell, and jokingly said, "Brother Long, has the aura of the dead from this clinic already reached such a serious level?"
Long didn't speak. The woman realized something was wrong. She reached out and patted Long on the shoulder.
As a result, the woman looked at her hand in surprise. It was covered in sweat stains!
She saw that Long's hands gripping the steering wheel were shaking violently, and his whole body was drenched in sweat!
At first glance, he looked as if he had just climbed out of the water!
Sitting in the passenger seat, the assistant panicked first. "Brother Long, what, what's wrong with you?"
The woman hurriedly took out from her bag the lollipop she had just given to Zhang Baobao. "Long, are you hypoglycemic?!"
Facing the concerns of the two, Long slowly raised his hand and pointed in the direction behind the car.
As the two turned to look, there was the gate of the medical school.
At that moment, a commercial vehicle had arrived at the gate, followed by an armored off-road vehicle.
Seeing this, the woman reacted quickly and immediately instructed her assistant: "Go help!"
"Okay!"
Wei didn't hesitate and ran forward. But when he arrived at the commercial vehicle, he saw—
Huang Ming lying on a pile of blood-stained straw, his whole body full of holes and blood...extremely miserable...
Liu Yuan leaned the stretcher against the car door and said to Wei who ran over, "Sorry to trouble you, please wait a moment. We will treat this emergency patient first then see your patient right away."
"Eme...emergency?"
Wei stared blankly at Huang Ming, whose body functions were clearly approaching zero. A sentence slipped out of his mouth without thinking:
"In...in this situation, why bother with procedure? Just dig a hole by the roadside and bury him, case closed."
Swish!
The moment Wei finished speaking, a spray of blood spurted from Huang Ming!
In Wei's shocked gaze, Liu Yuan picked up Huang Ming and threw him onto the stretcher!
Her movements were smooth and efficient!
The fresh blood splashing from Huang Ming's body sprayed the inside of the car. Some drops even flew onto the lenses of Wei's gold-rimmed glasses.
Wei stood still on the spot, shivering, and stammered: "R...respect the dead, respect the dead..."
Meanwhile, the woman who had just walked over from behind took a deep breath on the spot. She only felt a chill rising from her back.
The corner of her mouth twitched violently as she thought to herself: The nurse in this small town is so fierce?
Behind Liu Yuan, Xiao Chen's injuries were not serious, so he got out of the car himself.
After getting out of the car, he casually glanced around. He saw an armored sedan parked on the square.
Inside the armored sedan, an exceptionally sturdy man was staring straight at him!
At first, Xiao Chen thought the man had malicious intent. But the next second, Xiao Chen saw the man slowly raise his hand and give him a thumbs up.
The man's gesture puzzled Xiao Chen, who didn't understand what he meant.
Xiao Chen didn't think much of it. He smiled at the man and followed Liu Yuan into the reception hall of the clinic.
Inside the armored sedan, Long murmured: "Hero, a true hero..."
"There were five people in those two cars, and you're the only normal one, brother. You really are a hero!"
"One dead man, one polluted, one scarecrow that became a resentful spirit."
"And one more..."
As he spoke, Long looked at Lu Yuan, who had just gotten out of the car.
At that moment, Long, who had been trembling all over, suddenly felt calmer.
Completely still!
His breathing became extremely slow, and even his heartbeat slowed to the extreme!
From Lu Yuan, Long also sensed an extremely strong aura of death!
Even stronger than that on a real dead person!
But Long could tell that the aura of death on Lu Yuan didn't come from himself!
It was contamination from the outside!
Being contaminated with a strong aura of death does not mean the person has killed many people, it just shows that the person has handled many dead people.
Long really couldn't figure out how many dead people one had to handle to be contaminated with an aura of death even stronger than that on the dead themselves!
Most importantly, besides the aura of death, Long also sensed from Lu Yuan—
beast aura, spirit aura, contaminated spirit aura, human aura, blood aura, mechanical aura, elemental aura, aura of knowledge, medical aura, blade aura...
And faintly, an aura of supremacy and righteous aura, as well as a chilling aura of killing that appeared from time to time!
At this moment, Long couldn't help but hold his forehead, extremely helplessly murmuring to himself: "Brother, just what kind of existence are you..."
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
