Chapter 142 Strange Marks
The patient, who had been somewhat agitated, calmed down considerably after Shen Baisu's question. He looked at Shen Baisu in astonishment, "Wh...what? Doctor, what are you asking?"

"These are my hands."

Shen Baisu: "...?"

She looked up at the patient and asked, "Is that red flower I asked about a tattoo? Where did you get it done?"

The patient remained bewildered. He quickly glanced down at his arm, then timidly asked Shen Baisu, "Flower petals? A tattoo? Do I have this on my hand?"

"Doctor, don't scare me."

Shen Baisu: ?

"Isn't it here? It's right here, you just can't see it..."

Shen Baisu originally wanted to point it out to the patient, but suddenly remembered that she had opened her divine sense, and Shen Baisu suddenly understood.

According to the patient, the flower-shaped mark seems to be invisible to the naked eye.

To verify her hypothesis, Shen Baisu withdrew her divine sense and then looked at the patient's hand.

Sure enough, there was nothing on his arm.

"Doctor, please...please say something, I'm scared." The patient was terrified by what had just happened and had stopped coughing altogether.

Shen Baisu was brought back to her senses by his voice. She gave the patient a reassuring look and then reached out to lower her rolled-up sleeve.

After pulling down the patient's sleeve, Shen Baisu took out a red beauty fruit. "Eat this first."

patient:?
Looking at the fruit lying in Shen Baisu's hand, the patient fell silent. After several seconds, he looked at Shen Baisu and said weakly, "Doctor, I don't want to eat anything. I have no appetite at all."

Shen Baisu: "Even if you don't have an appetite, you have to eat to replenish your energy, otherwise you might not survive the night."

patient:?!

"I eat!"

The patient snatched the fruit from Shen Baisu's hand and began to take large bites.

Originally, the patient had no appetite, but the fruit given by Shen Baisu tasted so good that it instantly awakened the patient's taste buds, and the patient hugged the red fruit and began to wolf it down.

Mr. Xia stood outside the isolation room and was quite surprised to see what was happening inside.

Since falling ill, this patient has had a poor appetite. He can barely eat fruit, and even drinking water seems like a struggle.

Unexpectedly, he's now holding a fruit and munching on it, looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.

Xia Yanqing and Mr. Xia had different focuses. His eyes were filled with a faint confusion and inquiry. He was very curious about how Shen Baisu could produce things out of thin air.

Unaware of the situation outside the isolation room, Shen Baisu gave the red beauty fruit to the patient and then left the isolation room.

As soon as she stepped out of the isolation room, Mr. Xia and Xia Yanqing surrounded her.

"Young friend Shen, how is it? Have you found the root cause of his illness? Do you have a way to cure him?" the old gentleman asked impatiently.

Shen Baisu: "It's not certain yet. I need to check on the other people's situations."

Shen Baisu didn't elaborate. After saying that, she walked directly out of the second cubicle.

Each cubicle had a closed door, and each door had a glass window through which one could see directly into the cubicle. Therefore, Shen Baisu didn't need to go inside at all. She could simply stand outside the door and scan the cubicle with her divine sense to find out what she wanted to know.

Shen Baisu repeated the same process in the next few cubicles.

Soon, Shen Baisu had used his divine sense to investigate the situation in all the cubicles.

"Young friend Shen, how is it?"

Mr. Xia was anxious. Seeing that Shen Baisu had arrived outside the last isolation room, he finally couldn't help but ask another question.

Just as Mr. Xia spoke, Shen Baisu withdrew her divine sense. She looked at the old man and said, "I have found one of the reasons for their illness. However, I don't have a solution yet. I need to find out where the things that caused their illness came from."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xia's expression instantly became excited. "Really? The cause of the illness has been found. What is it?"

Upon hearing Mr. Xia's question, Shen Baisu remained silent for a moment. Seeing this, Mr. Xia assumed that she was simply unable to disclose the information, so he said, "It's alright. If it's inconvenient to disclose, young friend, you don't need to answer."

"However, if a treatment is found, but you cannot complete it on your own, please tell us. After all, more people mean more strength."

Shen Baisu knew immediately that Mr. Xia had misunderstood. She explained, "There's nothing that's inconvenient to reveal. It's just that I'm afraid you'll think it's outrageous if I tell you."

Mr. Xia: ?

Outrageous? What could be the cause of this illness?

Shen Baisu: "Can we find a place first? I need to draw something."

Mr. Xia nodded to Shen Baisu, and then led her to the conference room.

There was plenty of paper and pens in the conference room. After entering the conference room, Shen Baisu picked up a pen and began to draw on the paper. Soon, a pattern appeared on the paper, shaped like a flower, with strange and intricate patterns on each petal.

"They all have this on their arms. It's because of this that their life force is constantly draining away. Have you ever seen this?"

Those people were all under a spell, and this flower was the embodiment of that spell. Shen Baisu had never seen such a spell before and was not quite sure what kind of spell it was.

Xia Yanqing and Mr. Xia were staring at what Shen Baisu had drawn with a puzzled look when they suddenly heard Shen Baisu's words, and they were both stunned for a moment.

Old Xia asked blankly, "Do they have this? I've never seen it before?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Yin said, "This thing is invisible to the naked eye; it looks like a talisman."

Feng Yin is a weapon refiner. When refining weapons, weapon refiners will inscribe arrays, talismans and other things on spiritual weapons, so she has some knowledge of talismans.

As soon as Shen Baisu finished drawing the flower, Feng Yin immediately recognized it as a talisman.

As soon as Feng Yin spoke, Xia Yanqing and Old Master Xia were immediately silenced.

Charms? What kind of feudal superstition is this...?

Oh, wait, there are cultivators in real life, so it's not surprising that they have talismans.

Considering Shen Baisu's identity as a cultivator, Xia Yanqing and Old Master Xia quickly accepted the explanation that the sick people were all under a spell.

Although it still seemed outrageous to me, for now, I could only place my hopes on Shen Baisu.

"Do you two have any knowledge of talismans... talismans?" Old Master Xia asked Shen Baisu and Feng Yin humbly.

Shen Baisu nodded to the old gentleman, "I've done some research."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xia's mood improved considerably. He looked at Shen Baisu and tentatively asked, "I wonder how to get rid of these things?"

“I can’t undo this on too many people, but my senior sister…” Shen Baisu said, looking at Feng Yin, “Senior sister, do you know how to undo this spell?”

Feng Yin nodded to Shen Baisu.

Shen Baisu: "How many?"

Feng Yin: "Around three hundred."

With her Mahayana stage cultivation, her spiritual power was much greater than Shen Baisu's, but she could only undo a maximum of three hundred talismans.

Upon hearing this, Shen Baisu turned to look at Xia Yanqing and asked, "How many patients do you have?"

Xia Yanqing: "As of today, there have been nearly 300,000 patients."

Shen Baisu: "..."

It would take a thousand senior sisters to undo all the spells.

After standing there in silence for a moment, Shen Baisu said, "Then let's not rush into treatment. Let's find the person who cast the curse first."

"You'll have to investigate this matter yourselves," Shen Baisu said, looking at Xia Yanqing.
