Chapter 102 [The Dead Man Speaks] (6400)

Chapter 6400 [The Dead Man Speaks] ()

Although Luo Shixin was obviously an admirer of Chu Keqing, his attitude became a little more serious when it came to serious matters.

There were many people coming and going in the hospital lobby, so Luo Shixin led the two of them to a less crowded place nearby.

He spoke in his unskilled Cantonese, "I arrived at the hospital before you. No one is paying for Luo Meifang's medical expenses, and the hospital has already decided to stop her treatment tomorrow."

You know, this is a private hospital. If you don't take care of it, I'm afraid I'll be sent to a public medical institution the day after tomorrow."

After a pause, he continued, "But don't worry. I've just paid her medical bill into the hospital account, just as you said. But the hospital doesn't have many options for waking her up. They can only provide medication and nutritional support. I also asked the doctor, and he said there's no way to tell when she'll wake up. Anyway, you shouldn't hold out too much hope!"

Chu Keqing asked, "Can we go to the ward to see her now?"

"Of course." Luo Shixin said immediately, "According to your instructions, when I paid the medical bills, the family contact person filled in your name. Now the hospital considers you a family member of the patient, and family visits are allowed."

Chu Keqing nodded: "Okay, thank you very much, Luo Sheng. I will have someone transfer the medical expenses to your account."

Luo Shixin immediately said, "No need! It's just a small amount of money. Besides, Miss Chu has helped me a lot before. You really don't have to be so polite to me."

Chu Keqing looked at Luo Shixin deeply, then smiled and said, "Let's put things in perspective. I came to Gangcheng on business this time, and Mr. Luo's helping me get information is already a favor. As for the financial matters... we still need to sort things out. Well, Mr. Luo, please take us to the ward."

"Okay." Luo Shixin seemed a little unwilling, but still nodded and agreed.

Then he took the three of them all the way to the hospital. He and Chu Keqing walked side by side, leaving the two assistants Chen Yan and Xiao Cai behind. As they walked, he tried to act sincere and persuade Chu Keqing with some words.

"Actually, I just want to give you a few words of advice. This Luo Meifang isn't actually your senior brother's serious girlfriend. I've already made inquiries. She's a gold digger. Your senior brother might not even consider her a serious woman.

Now that your senior brother is no longer with you, you don’t actually need to care about her. Besides, this is a quagmire, and you don’t know when she will wake up. If she doesn’t wake up, do you have to keep spending money on it?

Besides, spending money is a small matter. If someone dies, the hospital will treat you as a family member, and they will contact you to handle the funeral affairs, which is very troublesome.

Miss Chu, you are too kind. Why do you need to cause yourself so much trouble? "

Chen Yan followed behind, not saying a word along the way but just listening quietly. After hearing this, he probably understood something.

This guy named Luo Shixin probably doesn't know the specific circumstances of Chu Keqing's incident.

He just thought that Chu Keqing asked him for help to clean up the mess for his third senior brother and take care of his third senior brother's girlfriend.

Chu Keqing probably never told him the truth, nor did she tell him that she came to Hong Kong City to investigate the cause of death of her third senior brother and find the real culprit behind the scenes.

This person should be an ordinary person.

·
Probably because the fee had been renewed. Luo Meifang's ward was a single room. Because the patient was in a coma, some monitoring instruments were placed on it. The instruments had real-time monitoring of breathing, heart rate, blood oxygen and other values.

There was a tube inserted in her arm. The woman had been in a coma for many days and could only rely on intravenous drips to maintain her life.

As the three of them walked into the ward, Chen Yan immediately activated his Qi-gazing technique and looked over, and then his expression suddenly changed!
Chu Keqing next to him also frowned, obviously she had also seen something using the Qi-gazing technique.

After taking a deep breath, Chu Keqing turned around and whispered to Luo Shixin beside her: "Luo Sheng, thank you for your help. I want to stay alone with my third senior brother's girlfriend in the ward for a while. Do you think it's convenient for you..."

Although Luo Shixin was a little confused, he didn't ask too much about this kind of thing, so he smiled and said, "Well, I'll go talk to the doctor, you just stay here."

After Luo Shixin left, Chen Yan slowly closed the door and glanced at Chu Keqing: "Did you see anything?"

"Her luck...is almost gone!" Chu Keqing's face was gloomy.

Chen Yan nodded and sighed: "Yes... This person is almost dead. Well, to be more precise, he is already in the process of dying."

After a person dies, their fate, whether it is good luck, fortune, wealth, longevity, or bad luck, or even luck in love...

In short, all luck and fortune will slowly dissipate after a person dies.

This dissipation process will last for a few days, but no later than seven days.

After seven days at the latest, the luck will dissipate, and this person's traces will be completely wiped out from the Heavenly Dao.

So, in other words, when a person's luck begins to dissipate, this person, in a sense, has already begun the process of death - this death is not in the physical sense of the person, but in terms of the way of heaven, he has entered the process of being removed from the list.

In other words, Luo Meifang, who was lying on the bed at the moment, seemed to still have vital signs, but in fact her name had been crossed out by Tiandao and was about to be cancelled.

However... this is a bit weird!

"Generally speaking, a person should die physically first. Breathing stops, heartbeats end... and then their destiny begins to dissipate." Chen Yan shook his head and said, "But... her destiny has already dissipated before her physical body has died."

Chu Keqing raised her eyebrows: "The living dead?"

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Not really, but... her spiritual sense is almost gone. In layman's terms, her soul is almost extinguished."

"Soul? Ghost?" Chu Keqing frowned, feeling that the matter did not make sense.

"A person's fate doesn't follow their physical body, but their spiritual consciousness, commonly known as a ghost." Chen Yan shook his head and replied, "When the soul dies, even if the physical body survives, they become a dead person, cancelled by the heavens. But... in Luo Meifang's case, the order is wrong."

In fact, sealing the spiritual perception makes the Heavenly Dao think that the person is dead... Chen Yan had done this before when he was helping Lu Sisi to change her luck.

However, with his ability, he could only keep Lu Sisi in suspended animation for two hours at most...

As time goes on, Tiandao will really remove Lu Sisi from the list!

And this woman has been lying in the hospital for several days after falling into a coma!

"My guess is that her soul was already severely damaged before she fell into a coma. Then, the heavens judged that she had entered the process of death, and her destiny began to dissipate. By now, it has almost dissipated."

Chen Yan frowned and stared at Luo Meifang on the bed.

This woman's appearance was not the best, she was just pretty.

At this moment, he had been lying in bed unconscious for several days, and his face looked pale and haggard, with a hint of swelling.

Chu Keqing pondered Chen Yan's words carefully and slowly speculated, "So... while she was still alive, someone used a special method to directly and severely damaged her spiritual sense without harming her body? Seriously damaged her soul?"

"Well, otherwise there's no way to explain why, even though she's clearly not dead physically, her destiny has already begun to dissipate. Because her soul has been severely damaged, she's entered the process of death in the sense of the Heavenly Dao."

Chu Keqing's face was gloomy. "Then it's basically confirmed. What the missing disciple said is true. My third senior brother died a violent death! On the night of his death, someone attacked him, and that person also attacked this woman at the same time, causing her soul to suffer a fatal blow!"

Chu Keqing slowly walked to the bedside, carefully examined the woman, and shook her head, saying, "Senior, my knowledge is limited. I wonder if there is any way to treat this kind of severe damage to the soul?"

"Fate is in the hands of Heaven." Chen Yan shook his head and said, "Heaven has already removed her from the list, and even her destiny has been taken back by Heaven. How could she be saved?"

Chu Keqing paused for breath and gritted her teeth: "What a pity! If she could wake up, maybe she could get some valuable clues."

Chen Yan lowered his head and thought for a moment, then looked up at Chu Keqing. "The people who harmed your third senior brother are none other than those in Hong Kong City, especially the one named Zhong you mentioned. He's the biggest suspect. Does Luo Meifang's words really matter?"

Chu Keqing sighed, "There are always a few people involved. If we check them one by one, it will be very troublesome. If we can cure this woman, maybe a useful word from her can help us avoid some detours and maybe we can lock on to the target in one step."

Chen Yan nodded and looked thoughtfully at Luo Meifang on the bed. Finally, he gave Chu Keqing a strange smile: "If I want to save her, I don't have the ability to fight against the will of heaven. But... try to get her to speak a few words, I can give it a try."

Chu Keqing's eyes suddenly widened: "Her soul has been severely damaged, and she is almost dead. Can you really..."

"Just try it." Chen Yan frowned and said, "She's already half dead anyway. Even if the attempt fails, we won't lose anything."

After saying that, Chen Yan looked at Chu Keqing and said, "Go and have your assistant watch outside, and then lock the door to prevent anyone from coming in and disturbing me. I can't let outsiders see me when I'm casting a spell."

"it is good!"

Chu Keqing went out immediately, asked her female assistant Xiao Cai to wait in the corridor outside the door, and then went back in and closed the door.

Chen Yan took out a half-burnt candle, scraped off a little wax from the candle with his fingernails, and then gently applied it on the center of Luo Meifang's forehead.

Chu Keqing stared at Chen Yan's actions with wide eyes. She couldn't identify the material of the wax that Chen Yan had applied to Luo Meifang. She just felt that this senior Chen Yan's methods were unfathomable...

really!

Afterwards, Chen Yan put away the candle, stood still, slowly extended his left hand, and lightly tapped Luo Meifang's forehead with his index finger...

In a flash, a faint blue aura suddenly rose up on Luo Meifang's forehead!
on fire?

Senior Chen Yan, are you going to set fire to wake people up?
But that's not right. The flame looked very light in color. It was not orange like ordinary flames, but a light blue. Moreover, as the flame rose, Chu Keqing, who was standing beside the bed, could not feel the heat of the flame at all!

This fire... is actually cold?

What surprised her even more was that as the blue flame rose, it slowly burned on Luo Meifang's forehead. The skin, flesh, and hair on Luo Meifang's forehead were not damaged at all in the flames!
Furthermore, under Chu Keqing's vision of the Qi-gazing technique, she could see that the remaining Qi above Luo Meifang's head was still slowly dissipating. But as the blue flames rose, the flow of Qi slowly stopped, and was stopped!
Chen Yan explained calmly, "This is Lihuo, also known as ghost fire! It's the most nourishing for ghosts. Although I can't save her, it's still possible to bring her back to life."

Will-o'-the-wisp? Something that nourishes ghosts?
Chu Keqing suddenly felt her scalp tingling, and suddenly her body shook violently. Her hand had been grabbed by Chen Yan, who pulled her back two steps.

"Don't be impatient, just wait and see." Chen Yan narrowed his eyes - in fact, he was not completely sure in his heart.

But as he said, this woman was actually about to die anyway, so there was no loss in giving it a try even if she failed.

Chu Keqing had never seen such magic before—the Yun Sect's cultivation techniques were incomplete, and the cultivation world in this world was even more lacking in magic. She had never encountered what Chen Yan was doing.

Subconsciously, after Chen Yan grabbed her hand and pulled her back, she instead grabbed Chen Yan's hand and held it tightly, her eyes fixed on Luo Meifang on the bed.

A full minute later...

Luo Meifang, lying on the bed with blue flames still emanating from her forehead, suddenly opened her eyes and widened!
This reaction startled Chu Keqing. She widened her eyes and screamed subconsciously, but she reacted very quickly and immediately closed her mouth. However, the hand that was holding Chen Yan's wrist subconsciously exerted a little more force!
Luo Meifang on the bed suddenly let out a long breath, and then her chest heaved, as if she was gasping for breath several times with great difficulty.

Chu Keqing immediately leaned forward and said quickly, "Luo Meifang! Luo Meifang!"

"…Uh…Uh…"

"Do you remember anything? What else can you remember? Who hurt you?" Chu Keqing asked quickly.

Luo Meifang's body suddenly shook, her whole body trembling, her breathing became more and more rapid, and finally a hoarse and unpleasant sound suddenly came out of her mouth. Although the voice was hoarse, there was an extreme fear in her tone!

"Don't, don't eat me... You've already eaten him... Don't, don't eat me..."

Her eyes were mostly white and her breathing was labored. After she shouted out this short sentence intermittently, the flame on her forehead finally burned out!

As the flames disappeared, her chest suddenly deflated, she exhaled, and her eyes closed again.

This time, Chu Keqing used the Qi-gazing technique to look over and saw that the Qi above her head continued to slowly dissipate...

Chu Keqing: “…………”

Although it only took a short ten seconds from the time Luo Meifang woke up to the time she finished speaking, Chu Keqing was dazzled by what she saw!

This magic that could make the dead speak was truly an eye-opener for her! !
Although there are all kinds of magical legends in the world of metaphysics, this scene happening right before her eyes is something she has never seen in her life!
At that moment, Chu Keqing suddenly turned her head, and stared at Chen Yan with her beautiful eyes, her eyes full of brilliance!

She had begun her cultivation at the age of thirteen, and her greatest lifelong pursuit had been the pursuit of the truth! Now, seeing such a powerful master standing beside her, performing a miraculous spell she had never seen before, even making the dead speak, such cultivation, such a spell...

Chu Keqing even felt her legs trembling slightly!

I want to learn!
I want to learn!!

Such immortal-like means, such a strange person with extraordinary powers!

If I miss this, I won't be willing to die!!
Chu Keqing was still tightly gripping Chen Yan's hand. At this moment, she stared at Chen Yan, her body trembling slightly, even her breathing was slightly rapid, her eyes were shining, as if she wanted to swallow Chen Yan up right there and then...

Chen Yan felt a little strange when Chu Keqing stared at him like this. He coughed and whispered, "What she said just now..."

At this moment, there were three gentle knocks on the door, and then the female assistant Xiao Cai outside quickly whispered, "Someone is coming!"

Chu Keqing suddenly came to her senses, took a deep breath, and then slowly let go of Chen Yan, but there was still a hint of blush on her cheeks.

She took a deep breath, walked to the bed and took a look at Luo Meifang. After making sure that there was nothing abnormal, she adjusted her breathing, walked to the door and opened it.

In the corridor outside the door, Assistant Xiao Cai was stopping Luo Shixin and whispering something. When he saw Chu Keqing open the door and walk out, Xiao Cai immediately stopped talking and slowly stepped aside.

Chu Keqing frowned and looked at Luo Shixin: "Luo Sheng, what's wrong?"

Luo Shixin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's okay, I just finished talking to the doctor and was about to come over to tell you what the doctor said."

Chu Keqing nodded and hummed. Looking at Luo Shixin's eager eyes, she felt a little impatient. She took a deep breath and said slowly, "There's no need to tell him. It's better to go and hear what the doctor has to say in person. There are many things that need to be clarified."

Luo Shixin was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded and said, "Okay, it would be best to talk to the doctor in person. So, I'll accompany you to see the doctor."

Chu Keqing didn't answer, but looked at the female assistant Xiao Cai: "Xiao Cai, you and Luo Sheng go see the doctor, and remember the doctor's instructions clearly."

Xiao Cai responded immediately, while Luo Shixin was a little dumbfounded: "Ah, Miss Chu, you... don't you want to go and hear what the doctor says?"

Chu Keqing said calmly, "Didn't Luo Sheng advise me just now that Luo Meifang and I are not related at all. She was just a casual girlfriend of my third senior brother before he passed away... After thinking about it, Luo Sheng's words make sense. I'm just here to show my appreciation. I can let my assistant handle these things. There's no need for me to do it myself."

Luo Shixin opened his mouth, but he had just said the words "accompany me to see the doctor". He was stunned at this moment, and had no choice but to leave again with his female assistant Xiao Cai and go to the doctor's office.

Chu Keqing secretly pursed her lips, exhaled, and turned around to see Chen Yan leaning against the door frame of the ward, looking at her with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, senior." Chu Keqing was a little embarrassed.

Chen Yan grinned and said, "Is this Luo your lickspittle?"

Chu Keqing was stunned, but suddenly an annoyed expression appeared on her face: "Senior, do you think I'm a green tea who relies on her looks to seduce men and use them to serve you?"

Chen Yan was stunned: "Huh?"

He was a little confused as to why Chu Keqing suddenly reacted so strongly.

Chu Keqing lowered her eyelids, her tone filled with grievance and anger: "This Luo Shixin is from the Folk Culture Exchange Association, and his own business is antique auctions. I helped him a lot once before, and he made a lot of money. He owes me a big favor for this.

He owes me! I don't owe him!

This time I asked him for help, just as a way for him to repay a favor.

It is definitely not that I rely on my beauty to seduce men and use them to work for me!
On this point, please don't underestimate me, Chu Keqing, senior!"

Seeing that Chen Yan was silent, Chu Keqing continued, "My relationship with Luo Shixin is just a business one, and we are just casual acquaintances in private. This time, I asked him to help with these things, and I was the one who showed favor first, so I feel justified in doing so!"

This person received a favor from me, and should have simply helped me with this matter and repaid the favor! But I didn't expect him to set his sights on me! It's really annoying!"

(Uh, actually you don’t need to explain these things to me...) Chen Yan muttered in his heart.

Seeing that Chen Yan still didn't speak, Chu Keqing's face became even more stiff. She turned around, took a few deep breaths, and then slowly suppressed the irritation in her heart. After turning around again, she whispered to Chen Yan, "I was just angry and my emotions were out of control. Please don't blame me, senior."

"Well, it's nothing actually..." Chen Yan said vaguely.

Chu Keqing shook her head and said helplessly: "The matter here is settled, let's go back and discuss countermeasures."

Chu Keqing took out her cell phone and sent a message to Xiao Cai, then she and Chen Yan went downstairs and left the hospital building, walking to the parking lot outside to wait.

As they walked along, Chu Keqing's mood gradually recovered. When the two of them stood by the car in the parking lot waiting for the female assistant, Chu Keqing looked at Chen Yan and said, "Senior, what do you think of what Luo Meifang said when she woke up?"

Chen Yan pondered - he had actually thought about it several times in his mind.

Don't eat me, you've already eaten him, don't eat me.

These words...

"Luo Meifang must have encountered something that devours humans. Whether it was a human or a monster, we can't be sure at the moment." Chen Yan expressed his thoughts: "However, that phrase 'eat him'. This 'him', if there are no other victims at the scene, then it must be referring to your third senior brother.

But you said you had eaten him...but your third brother's body was clearly there.

So…what is eaten is not the human body, but what is eaten…”

As Chen Yan spoke, he met Chu Keqing's eyes, and they both said two words in unison:
"Soul!"

Before Third Brother died, was his soul eaten by someone?

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said, "Your third brother's body hasn't been cremated yet, right?"

Chu Keqing immediately replied, "Not yet. His disciple told me about the funeral arrangements when he first called me. He will be cremated at the funeral home after the seventh day, and the farewell ceremony will be the day after tomorrow. Before that, the mourning hall will be set up at my third senior brother's dojo, and his coffin will be placed there."

Chen Yan's eyes flashed: "Let's go! Let's take a look!"

"Now?" Chu Keqing was stunned, then nodded immediately: "Okay, I'll let Xiao Cai come down..."

"No, let's take a taxi." Chen Yan looked at Chu Keqing and said with a half-smile, "As soon as you call Xiao Cai, that Luo Shixin will follow you. Aren't you quite impatient with him?"

Chu Keqing immediately laughed and nodded, "Okay! We'll take a taxi."
