Chapter 72: A stranger
As I screamed wildly, the crowd began to gather around us, but they were all pointing and talking, watching the show, but none of them came forward to help.
Yes, I had forgotten that I was in a foreign land. What use was it for me to shout in Chinese? A sense of helplessness and loneliness suddenly engulfed me, deeply etched into my soul, leaving the whole person in a state of indescribable pain.
At this time, Chengxin and his brothers had already heard my screams and rushed over. Seeing me with bloodshot eyes and acting like a madman, Chengqing tried to pull me away. This is the rational way to handle things, so that I would not be traumatized by the shock and the surging of my heart.
As for Chengxin, he just froze for a moment, then quickly knelt down, removed my hand from Ruoyue’s wound, and began to treat the wound. He quickly said to the stunned Chengzhen and the others, “Quickly, go talk to the locals. Where is the hospital? Or the police or emergency number.”
As Brother Cheng Xin dragged me, Ru Yue suddenly raised her bloody hand, somewhat weakly, but tightly grabbed my collar, somewhat dazed and somewhat weakly said, “Third brother, no… don’t go…”
I suddenly hugged Ru Yue’s shoulders and said in a trembling voice, “I’m not leaving. I’m here, I haven’t left!”
As I spoke, I moved Chengqing’s hand away.
Cheng Qing sighed helplessly and whispered in my ear, “Chengyi, I just hope you can calm down now. Trust me, no matter what kind of “anti-heaven” magic we use, we will save Ruoyue.”
I nodded. Compared to just now, the appearance of my friends had already allowed me to break free from that painful feeling. At least I was thinking rationally. Yes, if there was really something wrong with Yue, even if I had to use the soul-locking technique on the spot to lock Yue’s soul and prevent her from losing a glimmer of hope, I would do it!
At this time, I would not be afraid of the onlookers, and I would not be afraid of this soul-locking technique. To forcibly keep a departing soul is to go against the heavens and will require a heavy price.
Chengxin was quickly treating the wound on Ruoyue’s body, and Chengzhen and the others began looking for someone who spoke English to talk to. Fortunately, in India, English is almost the official language, otherwise we would be even more helpless.
I kept calling out to her in a low voice and talking to her. At this time, I must not let her lose consciousness.
Chengxin’s medical skills are proficient, and he quickly bandaged the wound for Yueyue, and applied some powder that he carried with him. I don’t know what it does, but when I saw Chengxin look up, his face was very serious.
Seeing his face, my heart sank to the bottom of the valley. I looked at him, my lips trembling, and for a moment I didn’t know how to ask.
At this time, Ru Yue’s consciousness was already a bit hazy, but the hand that was holding my collar still hadn’t let go. Brother Cheng Xin adjusted his glasses and sighed slightly, saying to me, “Ru Yue’s wounds are very deep, and there is a strange poison around the wounds. These need to be treated urgently, but the medicine I have on me is limited, and the conditions here are also… At least a quiet hospital room is needed now.”
“Is there any hope?” I asked.
“If you use a special method, there is a chance of saving her! But you know…” Cheng Xin paused, and I knew he was talking about the technique of transferring injuries! However, this is not the Lake of a Thousand Demons, nor is it a state of the soul. How dare you use such a more costly technique so easily?
There are two results: one is to transfer the wound to animals and plants, such as the moon. If the wound is good, she will die if she is supposed to die, even if she is not sick or injured.
The second is to transfer the wound to someone else, and in the process, the wound that the other person receives will be as heavy as Yue’s, which can be considered interest. As the person who performs the spell, Cheng Xin Ge will also pay a price.
“If it doesn’t work, pass it on to me. She did it to save me,” I said firmly, and I held Ruoyue’s somewhat cold hand while I spoke.
In the split second that happened, I will never forget that Yueyue elbowed me!
I don’t know what happened at the time, so that she could only react by hitting me in such a hasty manner. I just remembered that agile movement, the flying knife, the strange angle of the twisted wrist, and the cold and indifferent eyes. Now that I have calmed down, I have suddenly come to a conclusion—an international professional killer!
This kind of existence is no less mysterious than that of a cultivator. Some even have various special skills, and there are even legends of people with supernormal capabilities joining in. Even some cultivators, compared to their professional killing techniques, what do our martial arts practices for strengthening the body count as?
Chinese martial arts are about health and fitness first, and then about fighting! Unless you are a professional martial artist, how could a Taoist practice martial arts that would harm his body? No wonder the agile and powerful Yue Yue was caught!
Thinking about this, I subconsciously raised my injured palm. The black marks were still there. I suddenly remembered another detail. The wrist of the ‘child’ I caught had left a white mark!
Is the black dye? Is he white?
I was deep in thought, completely unaware that a strange, uncomfortable color had appeared around my wound, and that it was swollen and slightly numb! I couldn’t say what color it was, but it was slightly bluish!
“Fuck! When did you get injured?” I heard Chengxin’s voice behind me. I looked up and saw that Chengxin’s eyes were filled with anger, as if I was deliberately hiding it from him.
“I forgot about it,” I said lightly, but then Cheng Xin Ge grabbed my wrist and took out a knife, quickly slashing my wound twice without mercy.
“There is a strange resistance in Ruyue’s body that is resisting this toxin, so I am only heavy, not panicked. I believe that Ruyue can hold on for a while, as long as she doesn’t lose too much blood and is rescued in time! But do you have this resistance? I think it’s Ruyue’s bug or something that is working? Do you have it? Chen Chengyi, can you not make trouble and let me save a little trouble?” Chengxin quickly said, and desperately squeezed my wound. Blood with a strange color flowed from the wound, but the pain became very weak. I had the illusion that the hand was not mine.
Chengxin was observing my arm and other things. At this time, Chengzhen had already quickly walked over with the police from the train station, talking eagerly as he walked.
I felt a strange sensation in a certain part of my body, a slight tremor. After thinking for a long time, I took out a bamboo tube from my pocket and carefully determined that the feeling really came from this bamboo tube. How could it react?
I was wondering when Seung-jin had already walked with the police to our front. Seung-shim gestured for me to pick up Yeo-wol. He quickly walked to the front of the police and began to negotiate. What we needed now was a life-saving hospital. Hopefully, the police here could help us quickly.
At this moment, Ru Yue’s consciousness was getting weaker and weaker. Everyone was holding back their emotions and trying to be rational.
After some conversation, I saw that Brother Cheng Xin used the money again, and the two policemen were obviously much more positive. I held Ru Yue, calling her name softly while telling her to hold on, that help was on the way, and that she must hold on!
In fact, my heart was already nervous to the limit, and my hands were shaking as I held Ru Yue. I was afraid that during the time we were waiting, Ru Yue would leave us, and I would not even have time to perform the spell. After all, various secret methods are not the root of all solutions, and if we use these secret methods that defy the heavens in front of ordinary people, we will basically be in violation of the highest law of the default rules in the circle, and will stand on the opposite side of the entire circle of cultivators.
“But if necessary…” I mumbled to myself! Perhaps the most fearless thing about the Li School is standing on the opposite side of anything. As long as we are doing what we think is right and are true to our hearts, what are we afraid of?
“But, Ruoyue, you’d better hold on if you don’t want us to be enemies with all the cultivators.” I babbled to Ruoyue, and suddenly felt Ruoyue’s hand gripping my collar a little tighter.
I was pleasantly surprised. It seemed that Yueyue’s deepest consciousness was still clear, and she understood what I was saying.
But just then, a voice with a strange accent appeared behind us, speaking Chinese.
“Is it you, Chen Chengyi? I’m late, but I think you still need my help.” The voice was polite and had an inexplicable sense of closeness to us.
But it was completely unfamiliar. Who was it? I turned my head suddenly…
