A single divination predicts life and death; the entire internet begs me to start a live stream.

[Seventy-nine.]

[Seventy-eight.]

[Seventy-seven.]

A chilling countdown echoed from the third basement level.

The red warning light is flashing wildly.

The fire door was pressed down inch by inch.

At the end of the corridor, several elderly donors who had not yet been rescued lay on hospital beds, staring in terror at the lights above them.

The restraints on their bodies had not been removed.

Someone struggled.

Someone was crying out.

Some people no longer even had the strength to shout.

Su Lin's face turned deathly pale, and she shrieked:

"There are still people down there!"

Lin Wanqing grabbed the walkie-talkie.

"Everyone, open the fire doors immediately!"

"Emergency medical team, get off at B3!"

"Technical team, disable the hospital's lockdown system!"

A jumble of noises came through the intercom.

"Team Leader Lin, access to the control room is locked!"

"Hospital security has blocked the emergency access route!"

"The hospital's legal department is requesting that we provide further documentation!"

"The underground elevator is out of service!"

"The fire door to the fire escape staircase is locked!"

Lin Wanqing acted decisively.

"Break through!"

"I'll take responsibility if anything goes wrong!"

But as soon as she gave the order, Gu Huai'an's voice came over the loudspeaker again.

"Officer Lin."

"Violence against the healthcare system will lead to more patients getting hurt."

"How will you take responsibility?"

Lin Wanqing suddenly looked up at the camera.

"Gu Huai'an!"

"You've illegally detained so many people on three underground floors, and you still dare to talk to me about the healthcare system?"

Gu Huai'an smiled.

"Unlawful detention?"

"They all have agreements."

"It is authorized."

"There are medical care records."

"Our actions are reasonable, legal, and compliant."

"You've all been misled by a nurse and a fortune-telling influencer."

Lin Wanqing gritted her teeth.

"You are silencing them!"

"It wasn't to silence them."

Gu Huai'an's voice was very flat.

"It's an automatic disinfection system for high-risk contaminated areas."

"The three underground floors store a large amount of special medical waste. Once the system determines that there is external intrusion or a risk of leakage, it has the right to initiate a closure and disinfection procedure in order to maintain social stability."

"This is a security mechanism."

The live stream chat was already exploding with comments.

He's still trying to deny it!

[These are all living people!]

【What medical waste? That's human waste!】

[Save the child!]

Gu Huai'an must die!

The countdown continues.

【Forty-seven.】

[Forty-six.]

At that moment, a muffled sound suddenly came from the ventilation vent above the corridor.

call--

The previously faint airflow stopped.

The air on the third underground level felt as if it had been abruptly cut off.

An elderly man was the first to react.

He opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath.

"gas……"

"She's out of breath..."

The boy in ward number three also started coughing.

He already had congenital heart disease, and when the oxygen stopped, his face visibly turned purple.

"Mother……"

"I can't breathe..."

Su Lin burst into tears.

"Number three!"

She rushed into the ward, trying to untie the straps binding the child.

The lock can be fixed with an electronic lock.

Once the system is locked, it cannot be opened at all.

She was so anxious that she tried to pull it off with her hands, and her fingernails were torn off.

"Open it!"

"Drive faster!"

Lin Wanqing took out a dagger and rushed over to cut the straps.

The special material of the fastener allows it to be cut with a single stroke, leaving only a shallow white mark.

Chen Bufan entered the ward and pressed his hand against the child's forehead.

The child's life force is very weak.

It is being pulled outwards by the force of the three underground levels.

It's not just a lack of oxygen.

The oxygen supply being cut off is only superficial.

What was truly activated was the "sealing of life" of the entire underground coffin.

Gu Huai'an didn't simply want to burn the evidence.

He actually wanted to drain the remaining lifespan of these donors all at once before burning it down and send it to the VIP ward upstairs.

Then the body was destroyed by high-temperature sterilization.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"That's ruthless."

Lin Wanqing was cutting the fixation strap and didn't hear clearly:

"What?"

Chen Bufan looked up at the ceiling of the corridor.

"He didn't just want to burn the evidence."

"He wished for a long life at the very end."

Lin Wanqing's expression changed drastically.

"Now?"

"Um."

Chen Bufan walked out of the ward.

The entire underground corridor had changed in his eyes.

Under the white light, red and black life lines extended from the hospital bed.

On the old man's body.

On the child.

In patients with dementia.

The debtor.

Everyone has a thin thread running through their body.

These lines follow the walls, floors, and ceilings, converging in the center of the corridor.

Then go up.

Pass through the underground level.

Passing through the general ward.

Passing through the VIP ward.

Finally, it leads directly to the VIP area on the top floor of the hospital.

Like countless straws, they suck up lives from the ground.

Chen Bufan finally saw it clearly.

Just as he had guessed, this was the complete Life-Turning Array.

It was just that it was done on a grander scale than he had envisioned.

The third underground level is the furnace bottom.

The general ward is a pharmacy.

The VIP ward is for those in need of longevity.

The artificial lake, the back mountain, the main building, and the wind tunnel are all designed to make this formation rotate.

Gu Huai'an built the hospital into a furnace.

Put the weak at the bottom of the furnace.

Put the rich man at the hearth.

Use medical records to cover up the sorcery of fortune telling.

Organs were sent under the guise of charity.

Use professional rhetoric to package cannibalism.

A grand gesture.

Seeing Chen Bufan's expression, Lin Wanqing immediately asked:

"Have you found a solution?"

Chen Bufan said:

"have."

"How do I do it?"

"Break the formation."

Lin Wanqing asked.

"What happens after breaking through the formation?"

Chen Bufan looked up at the sky.

"Those people upstairs who steal longevity will immediately retaliate."

Lin Wanqing remained silent for half a second.

"Will I die?"

"They were supposed to die, and they will die."

Those who extend their lives by borrowing from others will be reduced to their original form.

"Some cases will worsen."

"Some will have their lights extinguished on the spot."

Lin Wanqing did not ask any further questions.

She only said one sentence:

"Those underground must live."

Chen Bufan nodded.

"I know."

On the radio, Gu Huai'an seemed to hear their conversation.

"Mr. Chen."

You'd better think this through.

"Those staying in the VIP ward are not ordinary people."

"There is a chairman of a listed company."

"There are high-ranking officials who have retired."

"There are investors in scientific research projects."

"There are also people you can't afford to mess with."

"If you break the formation, they will be in trouble."

"Can you afford it?"

"Or rather, can Officer Lin bear the responsibility?"

Chen Bufan glanced at Lin Wanqing, then looked up at the camera.

"Did they take any responsibility when they stole their lifespan?"

Gu Huai'an sneered.

"You're treating human life like dirt."

Chen Bufan was so angry he laughed.

"Gu Huai'an".

"You're using twelve years of your child's lifespan to extend VIP No. 7's life."

"Using the remaining years of lonely elderly people to fuel the fire of the rich."

"Using the lives of dementia patients to extend the lamp of power for the wealthy."

"Now you're telling me I'm disregarding human life?"

He walked step by step to the center of the corridor.

"Your face is cleaner than this hospital floor."

"pity."

"There's blood everywhere down there."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments.

【break!】

Break through the formation!

[Let those who steal longevity suffer the consequences!]

They were born with stolen lives!

Save the people underground!

[Gu Huai'an still dares to threaten?]

The countdown continues.

[Thirty-five.]

【Thirty-four.】

The fire door has been lowered halfway.

The air underground was getting increasingly stuffy.

Several donors began coughing violently.

Some of the elderly people had already rolled their eyes.

The third child's lips turned purple.

Su Lin cried out:

"Mr. Chen, please save them!"

Chen Bufan did not hesitate any longer.

He took out old copper coins from the cloth bag.

That was the Chen family's life savings.

It has broken.

He was awakened again by the fortune-telling at his ancestral home.

The moment the copper coin was in hand, the "Book of Destiny" automatically opened.

A line of text appeared on the page.

【Longevity Array】

Using one's frail life as fuel

[Use your noble destiny as a furnace]

The key to the formation lies in the heart of the furnace.

Lin Wanqing walked over quickly.

"Where is the key point of the formation?"

Chen Bufan raised his hand and pointed to the ground in the center of the corridor.

There was an ordinary white floor tile there.

It was no different from its surroundings.

But in Chen Bufan's eyes, all the threads of fate converge here.

Beneath the floor tiles lies the furnace core of the entire underground three-story structure.

"here."

Lin Wanqing immediately shouted to the police officer:

"Pry it open!"

Two police officers rushed over and used demolition tools to smash the floor tiles.

boom!

The first touch didn't move the floor tiles at all.

boom!

The second time, the tool was jolted out of my hand.

Gu Huai'an's laughter came from the radio.

That's the hospital's main load-bearing area.

"High-strength alloy seal layer".

"You can't open it without large equipment."

Chen Bufan squatted down and placed his hand on the floor tile.

Icy.

Heavy and substantial.

There are deep debts of life buried beneath.

It is not a regular physical seal.

It was suppressed with a talisman.

A familiar style.

It is a fragment of the "Life Talisman Classic".

It's that Chen family's cruel technique again.

Chen Bufan held his life-saving money between two fingers.

"You used the Chen family's talisman to refine this kind of furnace."

Gu Huai'an paused slightly.

"You noticed."

Chen Bufan sat down cross-legged:

"it is good."

"very good."

He bit his fingertip and smeared the blood on the money.

The money gave a soft tremor.

hum.

All the lights on the three underground floors flickered suddenly.

Lin Wanqing tried to stop him.

"Chen Bufan!"

Chen Bufan did not look up.

He placed his life-saving money right in the center of the floor tile.

The second layer of the Destiny Mark from the Record of Destiny lit up between his eyebrows.

This time, it's brighter than before.

Lin Wanqing immediately realized that he was forcibly interrogating her again.

"Don't do anything reckless!"

Chen Bufan's voice was very low:

Saving lives is the priority.

Lin Wanqing looked at the countdown.

【Thirteen.】

【twelve.】

Oxygen is becoming increasingly scarce.

The patients on the third basement floor could no longer hold on.

Chen Bufan closed his eyes.

He saw the lifeline of the entire hospital.

Top floor VIP area.

In ward number seven, an elderly man lay on a luxurious hospital bed.

His body was covered in tubes.

A red light, not belonging to him, shone between his brows.

One end of the red light was connected to child number three underground.

Twenty-first floor.

An entrepreneur leans against the bed, still holding the phone in his hand.

The longevity flame on his body came from the debtor in B07.

The 20th floor.

An old woman wearing an oxygen mask had an eerie flush on her face.

Her birthday celebration came from an elderly person with dementia in the CO02 group.

Lifelines.

A series of life debts.

Chen Bufan saw everything.

The moment you see it, the backlash comes.

It felt like my chest had been hit by a hammer.

A metallic taste of blood welled up in my throat.

Tears kept spilling from the corners of his mouth.

The pages of "The Record of Destiny" were being flipped through frantically.

Chen Laojiu's words seemed to echo in my ears again.

Judging fate is not fortune telling.

The deeper you look, the heavier the burden you carry.

But Chen Bufan did not back down.

He whispered:

"The Chen Family Fortune Teller"

"To judge life without judging good and evil is to be blind."

"To see evil and not kill it is to fail."

"today."

"Severing Life Array".

The life-saving money was pressed down hard.

Click.

A thin crack appeared in the floor tile.

Gu Huai'an shouted.

"Chen Bufan!"

"You dare!"

Chen Bufan opened his eyes.

The white mark under his eyes almost burst into flames.

"What do I have to be afraid of?"

He applied pressure with his palm.

The money was embedded in a crack in the floor tile.

boom--

All lifelines on the three underground levels vibrated simultaneously.

【three. 】

【two. 】

【one.】

An invisible shockwave suddenly exploded in the corridor.

The fire door stopped.

The countdown stopped at the last second.

【one.】

Then, the sound stopped abruptly.

next second.

All the lights in the entire Changsheng Health and Wellness Hospital went out at the same time.
