Grandpa He looked hesitant, pondered for a moment, then sighed silently, “He’s at the military hospital, in the old building next to the Oriental Medical Supplies store. Every afternoon there’s a cancer patient support group that he organizes.”
“But he’s not always there! My spouse used to go many times, but only met that kid once.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei and Jiang Hao exchanged glances and nodded to each other.
“Thank you for the information, Grandpa He. It’s getting late, how about we escort you back?”
Although going to the patient support group doesn't guarantee finding Tan Qiuming, at least there's a direction now, which is much better than aimlessly wandering like a headless fly before.
Grandpa He looked left and right at Jiang Li and Lu Yibei, sighed silently, nodded, then stood up with their help and walked towards the direction of the ward.
On the way to the stairwell of the oncology inpatient ward, Grandpa He suddenly stopped as if remembering something, and looked seriously at Lu Yibei.
“Although I don’t know why you’re asking about that kid surnamed Tan, I still have to say one more thing: that kid is very dangerous, definitely not like some rumors say, a master who cures diseases and saves people. If you don’t have enough ability to protect yourselves, absolutely do not contact him!”
He knew that Lu Yibei and Jiang Li were definitely going to the patient support group to find Tan Qiuming, but he felt it was necessary to warn them.
“Alright, this is far enough. If we go further, those people in the ward will see us and give you dirty looks.”
Saying this, he waved his hand at the two of them and slowly walked towards the 202 Ward, his back resembling a warrior heading to the battlefield alone.
Watching Grandpa He’s back disappear at the entrance of the 202 Ward, Lu Yibei retracted her gaze and said expressionlessly, “Things are getting tricky!”
She once read a science fiction novel where a person's knowledge and memories could be bought and sold like commodities, resulting in ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) the rich monopolizing knowledge and truth, while most of the poor were like livestock kept in pens, living in a constant state of confusion.
But there was always a small portion of people who could not endure being treated as livestock, and so conflicts arose, growing deeper day by day, ultimately leading to a destructive end.
And being able to easily transfer a fatal disease like a tumor from a sick person to a healthy person, from a certain perspective, can be seen as selling health as a commodity, which is very likely to lead to a similar outcome as in that science fiction novel.
When a person is suddenly told they have cancer and won't live long, their emotions will naturally become very unstable. If they then learn that their illness originally belonged to someone else, it would undoubtedly be adding insult to injury.
If there are many such people, mixed with a few Psychic, or desperate individuals who turn to urban legend for help, it will definitely be a disaster.
“Hmm, very troublesome.” Jiang Li nodded.
Although, without knowing the full scope of the unknown, one cannot make a definitive judgment.
But based on the information currently known, the threat posed by what Tan Qiuming is doing is no less than the x god about to give birth to offspring, and the two events are intricately linked.
“So now...” Lu Yibei tilted her head, “Shall we go? To that patient support group, and try our luck?”
“Okay, no.” Jiang Hao took out the Reporting Crow badge from her embrace and waved it in front of Lu Yibei, “I’ll contact Lin Kele first.”
“So, you’ve already stopped pretending?” Lu Yibei muttered to herself and nodded.
She highly approved of Jiang Hao contacting Lin Kele beforehand, as the place they were going to could very well be the lair of an extremely dangerous Psychic, and no one knew what they might encounter there.
Notifying the Shancheng Si Ye Hui beforehand would at least ensure some backup.
Otherwise, if an accident occurred, and no one even knew their whereabouts, it would be a complete disappearance without a trace.
“Aren’t there often people who go trekking alone in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, telling no one, calling it a pilgrimage or cleansing of the soul, and then never return, with no news?”
“I really can’t figure out how stubborn one has to be to do such a foolish thing.” Lu Yibei thought, pouting.
Watching Jiang Li walk aside and activate the Reporting Crow badge, Lu Yibei retracted her gaze and was about to take out her phone for a few minutes of thrilling “love and magical girls,” when suddenly, as if a finger gently plucked one of her nerves, her Spiritual Energy was touched.
Paper Cicada Immortal? Is it Dorees? Has that important negotiation ended?
Coming back to her senses, Lu Yibei glanced at Jiang Hao, quietly moved aside; seeing half her body hidden behind the corner of the stairwell, she took out a Paper Cicada Immortal from her embrace, infused it with Spiritual Energy, and established a subtle connection with the Paper Cicada Immortal in Dorees's hand.
“Tsk, what a strong sense of déjà vu!”
“Could the person who created the Reporting Crow badge have been inspired by similar Spiritual Energy items?”
She was thinking idly, and the next moment, Dorees’s voice sounded in her ear.
“Teacher? Is that you, Teacher?”
“Yes, it’s me.”
“Phew—!” Hearing Lu Yibei’s voice, Dorees let out a long sigh, “Teacher, you don’t know, today’s negotiation was too explosive, it almost scared me half to death. At first—”
Dorees, startled, recounted what she had seen and heard at the negotiation site between the two factions of the Eclipse Society. The entire process was logically chaotic, making Lu Yibei's head throb.
However, even so, she still gleaned some unusual information.
“Wait! You just said Unmyouki Lu Ming?” Lu Yibei interrupted Dorees, who was still emphasizing the tense, explosive atmosphere at the time, and took a deep breath, asking in as calm a tone as possible, “Is this one person or two people? And what kind of place is Li Gate?”
“One person!” Dorees, not noticing the unusual tone in her teacher’s voice, blurted out, “He seems to be a very powerful Psychic, as for the rest—”
“It’s Eclipse Society’s designated stronghold number 3. I heard Mr. Feinikesi (Phoenix) say that it’s the Eclipse Society’s prison for captives, and also where Chairman Adult often works.” free𝑤ebnovel.com
Upon hearing this, Lu Yibei quietly clenched her small fists and cursed, “Damn those dead corporate drones!”
“Eh? Dead corporate drones? Teacher, what are you talking about? I don’t understand.” ƒreewebɳovel.com
Lu Yibei calmly said, “Nothing. Do you have time later? As we agreed before, when we meet, I’ll analyze what Zhang Yu and Zhang Shuisheng’s weaknesses are, respectively.”
“Yes, yes, I have the whole evening!”
“That’s good. I’ll contact you later.”
After speaking, she severed the connection with the Paper Cicada Immortal. Lu Yibei looked at the slightly deformed Paper Cicada Immortal in her hand, paused for a few seconds, then frowned.
She had originally thought that when she finally found where Old Dad was imprisoned, she would be furious and immediately rush to rescue him regardless of the consequences.
But now, she didn’t seem as angry as she had imagined.
She clearly felt a raging fire in her chest, but that flame had no warmth at all.
Is it because of Human Fireworks?
Speaking of which...
To avoid falling into corruption in the long river of time, devouring Human Fireworks to purify the core of the urban legend itself, resulting in the inability to feel even the most basic emotions like joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness—is this not a different kind of corruption?
Lu Yibei sighed helplessly, thinking.
(I made the characters Zhang Yu and Tan Qiuming too complex. Now that I've reached a critical point, it's so difficult to present them perfectly! I'm severely stuck on writing today, so I'll update a little less.
I’m too bad, boo hoo hoo!)
