Chapter Eighteen: Viral Serology

  Ever since I took over the case of Gui Village Ghost, I've been confused too many times, and this time is the most serious.

  I was in a state of semi-consciousness and sometimes coma, I remember that both of us were sent to the ward, and Panzi also appeared life-threatening.

  At that time, I was stupidly turning my head to look, a group of doctors and nurses surrounded Pan Zi's side, especially one doctor even used electric shock resuscitation, the defibrillator was pressed on Pan Zi's chest, repeated several times, finally barely rescued Pan Zi back from the gates of hell.

  Next I saw doctors and nurses constantly injecting me with medication, occasionally even using an oxygen mask.

  I don't know how many days passed, but one evening I barely woke up. The lights in this ward were very bright, probably not for the patients' benefit, but rather for the convenience of doctors to observe and rescue.

  My eyes were poked and felt sore, so I avoided it and looked aside.

  Unexpectedly, I was sitting next to a captive fox, the big captain of that special line in Lu Yu Feng's mouth. She saw me wake up and nodded coldly.

  At this time, I still had a tube inserted in my nose and it was very hard to speak, but I couldn't help asking, "Hú jiě, what's going on?"

  The captive fox answered somewhat evasively, saying "Believe in the organization, you'll be fine."

  These words undoubtedly hit me in the face like a brick. I can also understand it this way: the organization has no solution, and the virus is still inside us.

  I suddenly felt like laughing and couldn't help but let out a weak heh-heh.

  The captive fox came over to help me fluff up my pillow, implying that I should feel more comfortable. He then said, "The police found a tombstone in Wang Siyu's home, and after examination, it was discovered that there was a mutant virus inside, exactly the same as the one in your bodies. You caught him that night, didn't you fall into another trap again, causing the virus to invade your body for the second time, making your physical condition deteriorate faster?"

  It's clear that Wang Siyu is the culprit of this case, also known as Gui Gui and Za Mao. At that time, we two indeed encountered that green gas, but didn't expect it to be so severe.

  Seeing that I didn't respond, the captive fox continued, "In the past few days, we've been injected with heart stimulants and hormone medications. We can hold on for a few more days. Just rest assured."

  I know how severe the side effects of these two medicines are. Let alone us two patients, ordinary people who use this for a long time will either die or lose their skin.

  Just now when I learned that we were not cured, I was once anxious in my heart. Now it's strange, when I learned that I only had a few days to live, I became calm instead.

  Because I'm too aware that many cancer patients are dying from excessive mental stress. If you want to live a few more days, the only thing you can do is try to relax.

  I try all sorts of reasons to persuade myself to be more optimistic. The captive fox looks at my expression and must have guessed what I'm doing, but she doesn't advise me much, just sitting silently beside me.

  After more than ten minutes of estimation, my mood gradually calmed down, and I shifted my thoughts to ask about the case.

  After all, there are too many doubts about this case, and I have a strong curiosity.

  The prisoner fox told me that the poisonous king case is actually related to the previous spiritual medium curse case. Wang Siyu and Bai Lingmei Bi Yumin are friends, so the two cases have similar criminal methods, both using the identity of spiritual mediums and Daoist children, and they are all good at using medicine and poison.

  Moreover, tracing back, Wang Siyu's grandfather Wang Chen was a researcher in a troop, which had a secret base next to Mus town, specializing in anti-virus research. Later, due to special reasons, it was abandoned, but Wang Chen and two colleagues secretly drew the path to enter the base and the key to open the gate on a map, divided into three copies, which were kept by them together. This continued until the grandson generation, but Wang Siyu finally had an evil intention, found the other two families, seized the map, pieced it together, and privately went to the base to bring out the remaining virus, using it for evil crimes, also becoming the mastermind of this poison case.

  I quietly listened on, and after the captive fox finished speaking, I felt as if I had just heard a story. It seemed that Old Wang's household was not simple at all, and some doubts were naturally clarified along the way.

  The dictionary in Pandora's box, as well as the Quotations of Chairman Mao from Wang Tong's family, must have contained one-third of the drawings. This also led to the tragic case of that woman and her family, and Wang Tong almost lost his life because of it.

  But I think this matter can't be so simple, and suddenly I thought of Suiyuan Village again. Doesn't that village have red centipedes? Red centipedes are also poisonous. Lu Yufeng took away a document from Suiyuan Village at the time, and Liu Hui also mentioned the internal struggle within the police force.

  Combining these, I have a very bold guess that the captive fox understated things. In fact, all three cases are connected. A group of police officers took advantage of their duties to engage in illegal transactions and stole the virus from the secret base in Musstown. Suifang Village is just a later research outpost.

  As for the Bai Ling media, what was stolen by the swan thief must be a list. There is another group of police fighting against this group of evil police, and this list is an important evidence or clue. Bai Ling media knew that he had made a mistake, and in desperation, he brought us to Mus town again, letting the poison king take action to kill us.

  The more I think about it, the more scared I become. This situation is getting deeper and deeper, and I can also guess that Li Feng, Cui Hu, Lu Yufeng, and others all belong to the good police team.

  If I had a choice, I wouldn't be stupid enough to muddy the waters, but what can I do now? I've already gotten myself into this mess.

  I especially want to ask the captive fox, is this guess really true? In fact, I also understand in my heart that this guess is about 80% or 90% correct, but I don't dare ask it out loud, and the captive fox won't answer me either.

  I chatted with her about something else, but later I really didn't have the energy and had no choice but to fall asleep again.

  I found that my body was really not doing well, after sleeping for a night, the condition became worse, my throat had a smoky feeling, and my skin also became extremely dry.

  Moreover, although both of us contracted the same virus, our conditions are different. I can now open my eyes and talk, but Lu Yufeng has been in a coma all along, and Pan Zishuo is in danger of losing his life from time to time.

  On the second day in the afternoon, another person came to visit him, it was Yu Gong.

  He can come, I'm not surprised, just didn't expect him to bring those fools along.

  He looked at me with a puzzled face, and after the silly guys sat down, he told me that after we fainted that night, they were anxious enough to find Master Yù Qíng Háng's house, where they finally rescued us in time.

  The silly guys are eating lollipops with their heads down, and I don't know if they understand what Yu Ke Huan is saying. Anyway, looking at me, he smiled kindly at me.

  My attitude towards him has always been as an outsider, even when I was coaxing him before, it was for the task, and I never thought that this outsider would end up saving our lives.

  I sincerely thanked him from the bottom of my heart.

  The silly old men listened to me and laughed even more foolishly, and took the opportunity to come closer, pulling out a piece of candy from their pockets and asking if I wanted to eat it.

  I say to myself, I'd better not even mention eating sweets now, even drinking water makes me choke. I shake my head.

  But he didn't listen and instead wrapped up the sugar and forcibly stuffed it into my mouth.

  Yu Gang naturally protected me, he pulled away the foolish grandfathers and coaxed them saying, "Good boy, look at Du Rui's body is not good, can't eat sugar."

  You guys are looking at Yu Jinghang with a sneer on your face, and you even use a disdainful expression to say, "The police uncle is also deceiving people, what's wrong with his body? Isn't it just being smoked by the stinky air of the Jiao family? What's the big deal? Come on, bite me, drink some blood, Jiao said I have divine blood in my body, you'll be fine after drinking a mouthful."

  He even stretched out his arm afterwards.

  I looked at his dirty arm and was stunned, thinking that the old man's madness had relapsed.

  Yu Gang couldn't sit still anymore, wanting to take the silly old men out. But the silly old men thought we didn't believe him and cried anxiously, biting his own arm fiercely.

  He saw blood at once and handed over his arm again, urging, "Drink quickly. Ji Ji had drawn blood from me before, he won't cheat me."

  I was so messed up by him, and suddenly I had an idea. I thought to myself, "Right! Wang Siyu, this poisonous king, it's not even an exaggeration to describe him as a killer who doesn't bat an eye. Why didn't he just kill these stupid grandpas? Are they really precious or something? Their blood can kill the mutated virus in our bodies."

  If this is true, it's undoubtedly a major discovery. I quickly gave the pilot a look, meaning to hurry up and take these fools for testing.

  Just then, the guy suddenly became very enthusiastic and hastily pressed the alarm on my bedside table. He immediately hugged me and rushed out without saying a word.

  I have no way to follow the past, I don't know where the silly grandpas were taken, but fortunately, the silly grandpas' blood really had antitoxin, and on that night, we two were injected with it, and it took effect incredibly quickly. In just two days, Lu Yufeng and Pan Zishen woke up one after another, especially Panzi, whose first words upon waking up were "I'm hungry".

  In this hospital, the two of us received very good treatment and after resting for another week, our bodies recovered to about 80-90%. Finally, when Lu Yifeng got up early, he even left his ward to go jogging nearby.

  There are still a few small doubts about the Poison King case. I remember that when Panzi and I first met Gui, we also heard a girl's voice. That night, while we were sleeping at home, someone was reciting phone numbers next to my ear. Such an eerie experience has no explanation even now, but I don't care anymore. Since the case is closed and the murderer has been punished, that's enough.

  I also mentioned to Lu Yufeng that we might have to go back to Wuzhou. Lu Yufeng's answer was unexpected.

  He told me that Huo Xue had another task, but it was a difficult one, and Panzi and I didn't need to participate. He would go with him to execute it, and let us wait for him for a few more days.

  I'm thinking that this task is probably related to the abandoned military base, after Wang Siyu's death, the drawings he brought must have been found, and Qiu Hu wants to see what else is in the base.

  I and Pan Zi are not skilled in martial arts, going to such a dangerous place may result in losing our lives, I also have self-awareness, so I withdrew on my own initiative and did not participate.

  I and Pan Zisuo waited at home, but Lu Yifeng didn't show up again, not even coming back to sleep at night. It went on like this for a week, until one night when I suddenly received a phone call.

  I thought it was Ah Feng's number and they were returning triumphantly, but unexpectedly, something went wrong.
