infinite divine gears in the city
Chapter 18
Li Rui’s heart was beating like crazy. Does this mean that the life potion is basically useless now?
“Then how can we increase the reserves and continue to recover?”
System: “That’s simple. You can absorb free energy in the air as you start cultivating or you can choose to eat high energy substances.”
Li Rui secretly whacked himself in the head. How could he forget the warmth in his stomach?
How would he recover without eating anything?
From this point of view, the virtual life potion was actually just a rune. It has to decompose substances from the real world in order to restore health just like a seed.
And Runneterra would be used to create a physical life potion, which was equivalent to growing the seed into a God-chosen treasure. Now that he has eaten the seed directly that was extremely inefficient which in other words meant that it was a complete waste.
As the policemen noticed that Li Rui’s expression was constantly changing, the policeman couldn’t help but become nervous. “What’s going on? Is there something wrong with your sister?”
Li Rui forced a smile and he shook his head. He placed Li Wei back on the bed. “Nothing. I just remembered that she should take her medicine.”
Li Rui found the last nutrient solution from the medicine chest. The thick ‘test-tube’ was obviously made of a special type of glass and it did not break with the [Feral Screams].
“Are you going to feed her the medicine now?”
The policeman looked at the very high-end green ‘test tube’ in Li Rui’s hand curiously but the policeman couldn’t help but said “She’s still in a coma. If you force her to drink that, you may choke her. The ambulance will be here soon. I think it’s best to feed her when she wakes up in the hospital.”
After hearing this, Li Rui hesitated. Then, he nodded and placed the nutrient solution back into his pocket.
Little Wei’s HP is now at 3 which meant that she was temporarily out of danger. He didn’t have to be so anxious anymore and this could wait until she was awake.
At the same time, a young policeman came in and hinted at the policeman with a square face.
Squared-faced policeman’s expression changed and immediately followed him out. The two did not go far and they started whispered in the living room.
Although the two thought they had gone far enough that others could not hear their conversation but Li Rui’s senses had gradually surpassed an ordinary person after the spiritual awakening and he clearly ‘overheard’ the conversation between the two.
“Captain, we have checked through all the residents of the community and there are no major casualties have been found for the time being. Only a few of them were injured due to the broken glass.”
After hearing this, Li Rui sighed with relief.
Although he was forced to do so but if someone got hurt because of him, he would feel uneasy.
“What’s the causality of this accident?”
“In the beginning, we suspected that it was a gas explosion but this building suffered the most damages. The firefighters searched through the entire building but found no signs of an explosion.”
“It’s not a gas explosion? What could it be then? It even shattered glass from 100 meters away. This could not have been done by a small energy!”
“People in the advisory group is here as well and said they wanted to take over the follow-up investigation.”
“The advisory group?”
From their tone, Li Rui could see the tightened eyebrows of square-faced captain.
After a while, he heard a long sigh. ” Ay… Forget it. Let them handle it. Why are there more and more of these strange cases happening recently?”
“By the way, why isn’t the ambulance here yet? There are two kids in the house that are injured!”
“I’ll have a look at it!”
Before they could finish the conversation, an anxious voice echoed the room.
“Wounded? Where are they?”
…
In the dark space where nothing could be seen, a man that was as pale as paper suddenly spontaneously ignited without fire and the dim light seemed to be swallowed by darkness. It could only illuminate the surrounding area of less than one meter.
The paper man burned violently and turned into ashes within a few seconds.
“One of my spirits is dead!”
A gloomy voice came from the darkness which made the other person laugh.
“Isn’t that controlled by a trace of your own soul? Hahaha. I told you not to engage in these crooked and evil things. The injury of the soul can’t be recovered easily.”
“Some things are more convenient for a spirit to do…”
“So, what are you going to do now? Send another one? By the way, who destroyed your spirit?”
After a while, the somber voice replied bitterly. “I don’t know. The information sent back is very vague but I remember those eyes.”
“What eyes?”
“A pair of greedy, bitter, dark, bloodthirsty, and murderous eyes.”
“Sounds like it’s hard to deal with. Don’t expect me to help you.”
“Relax, I’m not going to provoke him for the time being. The sacrificial ceremony is more important.”
“Well, be careful about the collection of sacrifices. Don’t attract the attention of the ‘Dragon’.
As they mentioned ‘Dragon’, the original frivolous voice could not help but turn solemn and there was even a trace of tremor.
“The Dragon is asleep. Just be careful. As long as you don’t reveal the lord’s breath, he won’t notice it!”
The gloomy voice was even more hoarse. The last trace of red light on the ashes of the paper man disappeared and the dark space restored the original silence.
…
Li Rui refused the stretcher of the medical staff. He forced himself to be an escort. He entered the ambulance with Xiao Wei who was lying on the stretcher.
The emergency doctor in the ambulance was confused when she saw Li Wei’s figure.
As she checked her health, she asked Li Rui, “Is this your sister? What was her past medical history? Is she allergic to something?”
After pondering for two seconds, Li Rui looked at the system panel and confirmed that Xiao Wei had no major problems. He calmly said, “There are symptoms of nutritional loss due to unknown causes. She can’t make up for it by eating anything. There is no history of allergies.”
“Hyperthyroidism?” The doctor said it without hesitation.
“No, not hyperthyroidism. Her endocrine system is normal.”
Speaking of which, Li Rui couldn’t help but grit his teeth. He let the evil spirit die too comfortably!
It should be imprisoned and have its soul lashed every day so that it could also feel Little Wei’s pain!
It should never get a chance for reborn until the spirit was completely destroyed!
As for its owner, he would find him one day sooner or later and skin him alive!
Seeing the ferocious look of Li Rui, the doctor seemed to be shocked.
This guy… is he crazy?
The doctor carefully moved away from Li Rui. She carefully checked Li Wei’s body as she was scared that she would make Li Rui angry for no reason.
After a simple examination except for the malnutrition that was visible to the naked eye, the doctor did not find any major injuries and she was relieved.
“At present, there is no serious trauma injuries. Her blood pressure and heart rate are also very normal. After doing a detailed examination in the hospital, there should be no major problems.”
“Thank you, doctor. I’m sorry to trouble you.”
“You’re welcome…”
Seeing that Li Rui had returned to normal, the doctor’s nerves relaxed.
“By the way, the wound on your face seems to be quite deep and there is a lot of bleeding. Let me help you.”
“Thank you.”
The doctor used an ethanol cotton ball and gently rub on Li Rui’s face. After washing Li Rui’s face, the doctor found that the wound in the corner of the eye had scabbed. After she checked that Li Rui’s eyeball was not injured and Li Rui was allowed to leave after some simple bandaging.
