Versatile Mage: Undying Fire

Chapter 316 Long time no see
early morning.

Lin Ran touched his side and found that the beauty was gone. He stood up, put on his clothes and walked out of the room. After a while, he saw Mo Fan with a very unhappy expression.

"What's wrong?" Lin Ran said.

At this time, Nighthawk also came out and said, "Something happened. Follow me first."

Afterwards, Lin Ran found Mu Ningxue and went to the prison together. When they arrived at the prison, Tang Zhong and Tang Yue were both there, but their faces looked very ugly. Tang Yue looked at Lin Ran and didn't know what to say. If she had refused Lin Ran's request to come here for inspection last night, this would not have happened.

Lin Ran and his companions looked into the prison, and then they saw a large amount of blood in the cell, and even a bloody corpse inside.

In a deep corner, the dog man was looking at Lin Ran with a ferocious look in his eyes. His teeth and fingers were covered in blood, and he looked like a perverted murderer.

"He was the one who killed Ke Lingxi." Tang Yue said with a face full of self-blame, "I shouldn't have locked them up in the same cell."

Mo Fan, who was beside Lin Ran, was also extremely shocked when he saw this scene.

The prison suppresses mental power, and the people inside cannot use magic, so the dog man used the most cruel and brutal means to slowly kill Ke Lingxi.

Now that Ke Lingxi is dead, it means that the evidence and accusations pointing to Asian congressman Su Lu have vanished into thin air!

Lin Ran looked at him calmly without any expression. He was able to resurrect Ke Lingxi, of course in the form of a ghost.

"Why did you do this! The crimes you committed before are not enough to get you killed. As long as you stay in prison for a few years, you can still be a mage when you come out. But now you kill Ke Lingxi so cruelly, so you will never get out of prison in this life!" Tang Zhong said angrily.

"Hahaha, compared to this, I'm more afraid of Su Lu." The dog man looked at the few people with a bit of panic and uneasiness on his face. It seemed that he was indeed very afraid of Su Lu.

What Su Lu hates most is the incompetence of his subordinates. The dog man knows very well that if he fails to complete the task this time and brings trouble to Su Lu, then his second half of life may be worse than death.

Rather than living a life worse than death, the dog man would rather make amends. Even if he is charged with another serious crime of killing a member of the Research Committee, even if he has to stay in prison for the rest of his life, he is unwilling to accept Su Lu's anger.

"Is he really that scary?" Mo Fan couldn't help but ask as he saw the dog man trembling.

It is really hard to imagine that a magician who is very close to being invincible in the high-level field would be so afraid of a person!
"You won't understand, you won't understand... You'd better be prepared. Su Lu will never let go of anyone who goes against him. It won't be long... It won't be long before you understand my current situation." The dog man curled up at this time, as if this would make him feel safe.

"Oh, let's go." Mo Fan sighed.

Tang Yue was still blaming herself, and Mo Fan comforted her.

After staying for a few days, Lin Ran and his friends left. Before leaving, Tang Yue warned Lin Ran not to use his ability to transform Ke Lingxi into a ghost, because no one would believe the words of the ghost, and it would also bring trouble to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran agreed.

……

A private healing hospital in the Magic City. The beautiful forest and the unique location of the hospital in the middle of the mountain make this hospital a luxurious place that many people dream of. However, the people who come and go here the most are not patients, but some caregivers. Here you can see an old man in a wheelchair accompanied by a team of caregivers. Even the wind speed may need to be surveyed...

In a large ward on the fourth floor, as it was late at night, most of the nursing staff had already left, leaving only a few people to watch over the patient around the clock. The two young nurses were now dozing off and looked listless.

"Mom, let me take you back myself. You are not used to being here." said the man with shiny hair.

"I want to stay here," the woman said.

"Don't worry, I will stay here and look after him." said the man.

"Well...ok...well, You Gan, I really don't know what I would do without you." The woman looked quite haggard.

A good family has suddenly become like this. It is nothing but pain and heart-wrenching worry. Bai Mingjing now feels that she can no longer bear it mentally.

After sending Bai Mingjing away, the man quickly returned to the fourth floor. He glanced at a man with a scar on his face, and then said, "Do something for me tonight."

"Can't you do it yourself?" asked the man with a scar on his face.

"You should wait until after two in the morning. I didn't expect this damn old man could last so long." Zhao Youqian said.

"You are really the coldest-blooded person I have ever seen." The scarred man suddenly grinned.

"As a killer, you have no right to comment on my behavior." Zhao Youqian snorted coldly.

The killer leaned against the door and watched Zhao Youqian leave, with a hint of hostility flashing in his eyes.

He already had some opinions about Zhao Youqian. If he hadn't taken this job from him, his wife wouldn't have been eaten by the monster on the island.

Of course, following Zhao Youqian is also very good. As long as he inherits the Zhao family, he will be able to gain huge benefits.

Looking at his watch and seeing it was still early, Bacon lit a cigarette and smoked leisurely.

"Sir, smoking is not allowed here. You can go to the end of the corridor to smoke." Suddenly a young nurse who looked drowsy said.

Bacon grinned and didn't mind it. He slowly walked to the end of the corridor.

"Please wait a minute, sir. We are going to give Mr. Zhao an injection now. Please let the doctor in first." Another young nurse suddenly said.

"Well, this access control is for you, you can go by yourselves." Bacon threw the access control to the nurse.

The young nurse hurriedly took it, put it aside, and then began to organize the nursing supplies.

After a while, a male doctor wearing a mask came over. He glanced at the scarred man Bacon who was walking towards the corridor with some vigilance, but soon he shifted his gaze back and nodded to the nurse holding the access control card.

Then they walked into the ward, which was quite spacious and fully equipped.

This ward has floor-to-ceiling windows, so people outside can see what's going on inside. The young nurse quickly drew the curtains after coming in. The two mages in charge of guarding felt that this was a bit inappropriate, but after being glared at by the young nurse, the curtains were completely drawn.

……

"Thank you so much, thank you for helping me a lot." The male doctor said sincerely at this time.

"Hurry up, he will come over after he finishes smoking." said the young nurse.

The male doctor nodded and quickly walked to the bed. He saw the old man lying on the bed looking like a living dead, and his eyes immediately turned red.

In Zhao Manyan's impression, this face had the majesty of controlling the entire huge family, and also had patience and doting on him. But now it has become like a dead tree. Zhao Manyan felt it was difficult to breathe in an instant.

He took a deep breath, his throat filled with pain. Zhao Manyan was trying his best to control his emotions, but he still couldn't suppress them.

But at this moment, the face that looked like a dead tree moved slightly, and the eyelids slowly opened. The pair of dull eyes looked at Zhao Manyan wearily. Zhao Manyan was suddenly stunned, and he didn't dare to speak.

But the old man suddenly became excited and stretched out his hand towards Zhao Manyan's face.

Zhao Manyan was still wearing a mask. He had never thought that his father could recognize him at a glance. When his father's cold fingers touched his face, Zhao Manyan could no longer control the tears in his eyes, and his tears suddenly fell down.

Zhao Manyan quickly covered his father's dry hands with both of his hands. He had a lot to say in his heart, but he could only sob.

"Dad..." Zhao Manyan struggled to calm down, but to his surprise, his father's hand fell down as if it had no support.

He closed his eyes, which had been shining with excitement, tightly, and the pain on his old face faded a bit.

he's gone.

He had no heart, no beating, and his body had no temperature.

Zhao Manyan squatted beside the bed in a daze. His face was distorted by the violent emotions surging in his body.

"Have you... have you been waiting for me?!" Zhao Manyan looked at the old man who had passed away with sadness. It was unknown how long it had passed before he uttered these words.

During the World University Competition, his father was already terminally ill. Zhao Manyan received news that he would not live for more than half a month. In order to prevent his father from suffering from the pain, they all agreed to let him leave peacefully in advance...

However, more than half a year has passed and his father is still hanging on.

Just to wait for the news that he was safe and sound, to see him for the last time... and then I endured this torture for more than half a year! !
Zhao Manyan could no longer control his suppressed emotions. He buried his head in the chest of the increasingly cold old man and cried like a child.

The young nurse not far away saw this scene and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Just one meeting meant a separation between life and death. Just to see this one person, he endured the torment of illness day and night for more than half a year.

Fortunately, he waited.

I can rest in peace now.

……

"Sir, you still smell of cigarettes, so you can't come in!!" a young nurse outside suddenly said loudly.

"The time has come, so the smell of smoke or not makes no difference to this old guy." Scarred man Bacon suddenly smiled.

"How could you do this? He is a patient. As long as he is still breathing, he is still alive." The nurse scolded.

"You don't seem to know what I do yet?" Bacon suddenly stared at the stubborn nurse and said, "You are responsible for saving lives, but I do the opposite!"

The nurse noticed the man's terrifying gaze and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Bacon reached out and opened the door, then his eyes immediately fell sharply on the face of a man wearing a mask.

"Who are you?" Bacon showed strong hostility in an instant, and his pupils pierced Zhao Manyan like swords.

"Sir, he is Dr. Mo. He is on duty today." The alert young nurse said hurriedly.

"Take off your mask." Bacon did not act quickly, he just gave the order coldly.

"Mr. Bacon, that's so rude..."

"This is none of your business!" Bacon glanced at the little nurse coldly, and the little nurse immediately felt like she was frozen all over. She was so frightened that she couldn't even speak.

Bacon took a step towards Zhao Manyan and said again, "Take off your mask quickly!"

Zhao Manyan could feel the powerful pressure from this man, and his breathing became heavy.

Zhao Manyan recognized this guy. He was one of the two assassins sent by Zhao Youqian to kill him.

Under the powerful intimidation of this man, Zhao Manyan silently took off his mask and then revealed his face, which was a slightly haggard but extremely handsome face.

Scarred man Bacon stared at Zhao Manyan, and the murderous aura on his body suddenly increased, but after a while, this terrible murderous intent completely disappeared.

"I'm really sorry, I haven't seen you before. You must be Dr. Mo, right? How is this old man?" Scarred man Bacon said with a smile.

"He's gone just now," Zhao Manyan replied calmly.

"Oh? Then I have one less sin." said the scarred man Bacon.

“Let the family take care of the funeral.” Zhao Manyan slowly put on a mask and left.

"Don't worry, judging from his family's situation, it will probably be a grand funeral, hehe." Scarred man Bacon said.

Zhao Manyan took a deep breath again, but continued to walk out. The young nurse beside him also hurriedly followed him out.

……

After leaving the room and walking outside, Zhao Manyan's breathing became increasingly difficult, and the tears that had been held back in his eyes fell.

The moment the scarred man said those disrespectful words to his father, he wanted to tear the bastard into pieces, but he couldn't do it yet. His strength was far from being a match for the scarred man Bacon, who even had a man who had already taken control of the entire Zhao family.

He walked aimlessly like a zombie. He walked on the city streets. At night, the magic city was still full of flowers. In the past, nightfall was the time when Zhao Manyan enjoyed himself the most. But now, the whole city was meaningless in his eyes.

He had lost his direction.

……

When he was confused and had no idea where he was, Zhao Manyan suddenly felt something floating past him from behind.

Zhao Manyan slowly raised his eyes and found two familiar figures slowly walking towards him in the darkness. They were pushing each other, as if they were arguing over different ideas.

"Hahaha, let me tell you." Lin Ran said.

Mo Fan smiled and said, "Really? You win this time."

Zhao Manyan was stunned for a moment. After a while, a smile gradually appeared on his face, although this smile was extremely ugly, as if he was about to cry.
