Chapter 430 Your body has been modified, by a kind of insect.

The two brothers remained silent for a moment.

Li Jingmo twitched his lips. "I noticed that after Lin Shuangshuang woke up, her various physical indicators had changed subtly compared to before. I wasn't quite sure what was going on, and I figured Hanying would know more about corpse worms. Since I was also coming here anyway, I brought her along."

As for now, he doesn't even need to meet Jiang Hanying; he already has part of the answer.

The death of Ge Dahai's uncle and Lin Shuangshuang's sudden loss of consciousness must be related in some way.

"By the way, what about Uncle Ge Dahai's body? Why did you two suddenly kill him?"

No body was left behind.

"Ok?"

"Literally, they died cleanly this time, leaving nothing behind, so you don't need to think about bringing them back for research."

Li Jingmo's lips twitched involuntarily.

"He was quite ruthless."

“It wasn’t entirely our doing; in fact, they struck first this time,” although if the uncle and nephew had been a little slower, the one who struck first might have been the one in the opposite position. “We fought back in self-defense, and Uncle Ge Dahai was ultimately struck by lightning and reduced to ashes.”

Li Jingmo took a breath, "Struck by lightning...is this divine retribution?"

"That's it."

"Wait, you just said 'them'?"

“There’s also Ge ​​Dahai’s second uncle, who didn’t die,” Li Chengxiao quickly added, seeing hope rekindle in his brother’s eyes, “but he escaped.”

Li Jingmo: "..."

These few words stirred up his emotions so much that it was more thrilling than a roller coaster!

"Brother, is Lin Shuangshuang's condition getting better or worse?"

Since it was related to the death of Ge Dahai's uncle, and the insect was killed by Jiang Hanying, Li Chengxiao couldn't help but ask another question.

Li Jingmo glanced at his younger brother and could easily guess why he would ask such a question.

Although I really wanted to give a positive answer, I shook my head and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, your brother's abilities are limited."

If only there were someone like him, or even just a set of data to use as a reference, that would be great. But Lin Shuangshuang was the only special case in front of him.

He can only detect changes in the indicators, but whether these changes are good or bad is really hard to determine.

Li Chengxiao shook his head. "It's nothing, I was just asking casually. At first, I thought you brought Ge Dahai with you. Now that you're here, what will happen to Ge Dahai? Who will look after him?"

"Don't worry, even if I open the door for him now, he won't go out."

Li Chengxiao raised an eyebrow. "Not long for him?"

"No, that's not it. He looks... I don't even know how to describe it. In short, he's not presentable to people."

Although both of their changes are related to the corpse-laying worms, Ge Dahai and Lin Shuangshuang are now going to completely opposite ends of the spectrum.

"It should be related to the wound that Han Ying left on Ge Dahai back then."

Li Chengxiao opened his mouth, "Brother..."

Li Jingmo patted his younger brother's arm, "Let's go back and see what Que Lu has come up with. He even learned a few tricks of medicine from a Taoist priest who lives in seclusion on Que Mountain. Maybe he can bring us some surprises."

Even he could sense that Jiang Hanying had many secrets, so there was no reason why her younger brother, who was more familiar with Jiang Hanying, wouldn't have noticed.

They will only learn more.

But if he didn't know how to bring it up, he could force his younger brother to say it.

The two brothers quietly went back, just like when they left.

Que Lu's hand was still on Lin Shuangshuang's wrist as he quietly took her pulse with his eyes lowered.

Que Zhiyun was so tired from waiting that she was starting to doze off while leaning on the table, but she still insisted on staying.

Several more minutes passed before Que Lu finally let go.

Three small red dots even appeared on the skin on Lin Shuangshuang's wrist where he had pressed to take her pulse. Because her skin was so fair, they were quite noticeable.

"call!"

Que Lu couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief; this was truly the longest pulse he had ever taken before.

"Huh? Huh, is it over?" Que Zhiyun raised her head groggily upon hearing the noise.

Que Lu took out two disinfectant wipes and handed one to Lin Shuangshuang, saying, "Wipe yourself."

He turned around and shooed her away, saying, "Little Cloud, go back to your room and sleep."

Que Zhiyun subconsciously pouted, but after rubbing her eyes and seeing Que Lu's expression, she instantly became obedient, "I'll go back then."

Before getting up to leave, she didn't forget to say goodnight to Lin Shuangshuang.

After watching Que Zhiyun obediently return to her room, Que Lu rubbed his temples and said, "Your body has been modified."

Lin Shuangshuang paused, then nodded slightly.

"This transformation isn't the kind that involves plastic surgery or drastic changes; rather, it's a gradual, subtle change from the inside out. It's like... you absorbed some kind of substance, and now that substance has merged with your body, or rather, it has become a part of you. It's what changed you, turning you into... what you are now."

Lin Shuangshuang listened quietly, then said, "So, it's impossible for me to become a normal person again?"

Que Lu felt as if a weight was pressing on his throat, and he managed to squeeze out a "hmm" with great difficulty. "I'm sorry, with my current abilities, there's no possibility of me recovering."

Lin Shuangshuang remained quite calm. She had been mentally prepared for this, and this was just another disappointment, nothing serious.

"It's so kind of you, Dr. Que, to take my pulse so late."

Que Lu waved his hand hastily, "I couldn't be of much help. But your pulse is still quite stable, so you can try to ignore those things. Well, just live a good life."

Lin Shuangshuang had heard these words from Li Jingmo many times before, but she listened attentively to the end and said thank you, "Thank you, I will."

"Miss Lin, please go back and rest. It's getting late."

After Lin Shuangshuang left, Que Lu stopped putting on airs when facing the brothers Li Jingmo and Li Chengxiao.

He leaned back, looked up at the ceiling, and asked softly, "Do you know what that substance is?"

The two brothers looked at each other.

Li Jingmo cleared his throat. "A kind of insect."

"Insects?" Que Lu looked at him suddenly. "Gu insects? But the Gu insects I know, whether they are beneficial or harmful to the human body, have never had such miraculous effects."

"That's something you don't know."

"That's true, the world is so big, there's nothing that can't be more amazing." He couldn't help but laugh at himself. "There's so much I don't know, what I do know is actually less."

"Alright," Li Jingmo walked over and patted him on the shoulder, "You've had a long day, don't overthink it, go back and rest."

After saying that, she looked at her younger brother and said, "You too, I want to see Hanying as soon as possible. If she's not free to come tomorrow, we'll have to go and see her."

Although he already knew that Lin Shuangshuang's sudden loss of consciousness last night was related to the annihilation of Ge Dahai's uncle, he figured that apart from Ge Dahai's uncle's kind, only Jiang Hanying would know the exact reason.

Li Chengxiao paused for a moment before nodding slightly.

Que Lu looked over, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "Oh right, I almost forgot to prescribe your medicine, you..."

Li Chengxiao thought he had long forgotten about it, and now he wished he could cover his mouth and interrupt him coldly: "No need."

Li Jingmo glanced at Que Lu and then looked at his younger brother: "What medicine do you want? Are you sick? What's wrong?"

Li Chengxiao decisively pulled him and turned to leave, saying, "You misheard, nothing of the sort. I'm perfectly healthy."

Li Jingmo was caught off guard and almost stumbled when he was pulled by him. He's not hard of hearing at all, okay?
Watching Li Chengxiao's unusually hasty retreat, Que Lu's somewhat depressed mood instantly improved, and he deliberately shouted loudly, "Anti-dryness medicine!"

Li Jingmo: "..."

This time I almost tripped over the threshold!

My usually aloof younger brother, what kind of heat-relieving medicine is he taking?
