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

The lights in the entire Changsheng Health and Wellness Hospital went out.

hall.

Ward.

VIP area.

Rehabilitation center.

Three underground floors.

All the lights went out in the same second.

Only the emergency lights illuminated a row of stark white light.

drop--

drop--

drop--

Numerous medical devices simultaneously triggered alarms.

In the VIP wards on the top floor, the first room to have an incident was room number seven.

The old man, who had been leaning against the bed with an eerie red glow on his face, suddenly convulsed.

The red light between his eyebrows seemed to have been pulled away by someone.

"No……"

The old man managed to squeeze out a dry, hoarse sound.

The next second, the blush on his face quickly faded.

Dry, shriveled skin.

Sunken eye sockets.

The veins on the back of his hand bulged out one by one.

In just a few seconds, it was as if more than a decade of his lifespan had been forcibly ripped away, turning him into a dried-out, withered branch.

The family members at the bedside were terrified.

"dad!"

"doctor!"

"Call a doctor immediately!"

The monitor is emitting a sharp alarm.

My heart rate spiked.

Blood oxygen levels dropped.

When the nurse rushed in, the old man was already slumped on the bed, his mouth wide open, like a fish out of water.

Twentieth floor.

An entrepreneur had just picked up his phone, ready to contact a lawyer outside.

He was in good spirits.

He was even cursing his good-for-nothing son for losing money gambling in Macau again, and that creditors were calling him.

But the moment the light went out, his hand suddenly froze.

The phone fell to the ground with a thud.

He looked down at his hands.

That hand is aging at a rate visible to the naked eye.

Skin is loose.

Spots surfaced.

The nails are grayish.

"impossible……"

"impossible!"

He tried to stand up, but instead collapsed onto the edge of the bed.

All that remained was the voice of the debt collector on the other end of the phone.

"Feed? Feed?"

"Don't stay silent."

"If you don't pay, we'll kill him."

"Stop pretending to be dead!"

Nineteenth floor.

Twenty-two floors.

Screams erupted one after another from the VIP ward.

"doctor!"

"Help! Someone come quick!"

"My mom can't breathe!"

"She was fine just now, how did it suddenly get worse?"

"Why did the equipment stop?"

"What's wrong with your hospital?!"

One after another, those who stole longevity were brought back to their original state.

Some people experienced a relapse of their condition.

Some people age instantly.

Someone's life lamp, which they had just rekindled, went out immediately.

The entire top floor of the hospital was in complete chaos.

Three underground floors.

Chen Bufan knelt on one knee in front of the cracked floor tiles, almost losing consciousness.

The life-saving coin was embedded in the eye of the formation.

The edges of the old copper coin were scorching hot, and a faint red glow seeped from the cracks.

The pages of "The Record of Destiny" turned with a rustling sound.

The lifelines that had been drained from the third basement level finally stopped flowing upwards.

Some of the remaining blood even began to slowly flow back.

Lin Wanqing and another criminal police officer helped him sit down to the side.

In ward number three, the nine-year-old boy took a deep breath.

Like a drowning person finally surfacing.

"Cough! Cough cough!"

Su Lin rushed over, crying.

"Number three!"

"No, Xiaojun!"

"Wake up!"

The boy opened his eyes; his lips were still blue, but a glimmer of light finally appeared in his eyes.

"elder sister……"

"Does this mean I don't have to die?"

Su Lin burst into tears.

"Need not."

"You don't have to die."

In the corridor, the other donors gradually recovered.

Some elderly people began to gasp for breath.

An elderly woman with dementia opened her eyes blankly.

A man in debt looked at the restraint strap on his wrist and suddenly broke down in tears.

"I don't want to die..."

"I really don't want to die..."

Lin Wanqing asked:

"Chen Bufan!"

"How are you?"

Chen Bufan took a breath and forced himself to swallow the blood in his mouth.

His face was frighteningly pale.

He looked up at the ceiling, his voice weak:

"The formation has been broken."

Su Lin jogged over and used a stethoscope to listen to Chen Bufan's heart.

"Master Chen, don't move! You're bleeding!"

Chen Bufan looked around, and the fire door stopped.

The high-temperature disinfection procedure was not initiated.

Oxygen supply has been restored.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Su Lin:

"Save the child first."

"I won't die."

He then asked the young criminal police officers around him to help him sit cross-legged, close his eyes, and enter a meditative state.

Lin Wanqing directed the group from the side:

"All beneficiaries must be transferred!"

"If the straps can't be cut, just move the bed!"

"Medical team, fire team, proceed to B3 immediately!"

"Control all medical staff!"

"Seal off the server, pharmacy, underground ward, and VIP area!"

"Not a single one is allowed to leave!"

"yes!"

Police officers and emergency medical teams rushed into the third basement level.

The iron gates were opened one by one.

The numbered plaques were photographed and sealed.

The patient was lifted onto a stretcher.

Lin Wanqing had her colleague take Chen Bufan's phone and continue the live stream using the rear camera.

In the live stream, viewers finally saw those who had been imprisoned underground being rescued.

The comments were so numerous they were almost unreadable.

They've been rescued!

The child is awake!

I'm crying my eyes out.

Did those who stole longevity suffer a backlash?

[VIP list must be checked!]

Where is Gu Huai'an? Have they been caught?

The Chang Sheng Foundation must be thoroughly investigated!

Where is Master Chen?

Why is Master Chen silent now?

The number of viewers in the live stream has exceeded one million and is still growing rapidly.

This time, it's not about seeking novelty.

It's not about being a bystander.

It's anger.

It is a testimony.

It allowed these "donors" on the three underground floors to finally become human again.

Suddenly, Lin Wanqing heard the police officer's urgent voice in her earpiece.

"Team Leader Lin!"

"The suspect, Gu Huai'an, is in the medical control room on the second basement level!"

"He took a nurse hostage!"

"We demand to see Chen Bufan!"

Lin Wanqing's face darkened.

"Keep him calm."

"Is there a sniper position?"

"The space on the second basement level is limited, and there is no safe angle for firing."

Looking at Chen Bufan in this state, she really couldn't bear to call him.

But Chen Bufan heard it clearly and stood up, leaning against the wall.

Lin Wanqing frowned:

"Don't move."

Lin Wanqing looked at Chen Bufan.

"You're not allowed to go."

Chen Bufan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"He wants to see me."

Lin Wanqing refused:

"He's gone mad."

Chen Bufan glanced at her.

"Only a madman would tell the truth."

Lin Wanqing looked at Chen Bufan:

"You're insane too!"

Two underground floors.

Medical control room.

Gu Huai'an stood in front of the control panel.

His white coat was in disarray.

The gold-rimmed glasses were tilted to one side of his face.

He was holding a scalpel to a nurse's neck.

The nurse was trembling with fear, and there was already a bloody scratch on her neck.

Outside the control room, police officers surrounded the entrance.

Gu Huai'an's eyes no longer held the gentleness they once did.

All that's left is madness.

"Let Chen Bufan come!"

"I want to see him!"

"None of you understand!"

"You ruined my hospital!"

"You ruined my research!"

"They've destroyed the most crucial link in the longevity system!"

When Chen Bufan finally managed to reach the door, Gu Huai'an suddenly looked up.

"Chen Bufan!"

His voice was shrill and trembling.

Do you know what you've done?

Chen Bufan stood outside the door, calmly watching him.

"A man-eating furnace has been broken."

Gu Huai'an smiled.

His smile was ugly.

"Cannibalism?"

"You only know how to use such low-level vocabulary."

"That's resource redistribution!"

"It's about utilizing life!"

"It's a groundbreaking experiment combining medicine and fortune-telling!"

"Those who make offerings for longevity are destined to die anyway!"

Chen Bufan said:

"You will die too."

Gu Huai'an's face stiffened.

Chen Bufan continued:

"So you can also be taken advantage of."

Gu Huai'an's eye twitched.

"I'm different!"

"I have value!"

"I can help people extend their lives!"

"I can bring a dying person back to life!"

"I can help a wealthy businessman with terminal cancer stand up again!"

"I can keep the resources of a city flowing!"

Chen Bufan looked at him:

"You clearly have the ability to save lives."

"Yet he chose to kill."

Gu Huai'an's breath hitched.

The scalpel was pressed down even tighter.

There was even more blood on the nurse's neck.

Lin Wanqing gripped the gun tightly, her voice steady:

"Gu Huai'an".

"Put down the knife."

"You can't escape now."

Gu Huai'an suddenly looked at Lin Wanqing.

"run?"

Why should I run?

"You're the ones who should be running!"

"Do you know who lives on the top floor?"

"If anything happens to them, the entire city of Haicheng will be shaken!"

"Do you think you've won by saving a few homeless people, a few old folks, or a few unwanted children?"

He pointed at Chen Bufan and laughed maniacally.

"You've broken the Life-Turning Array."

"Those VIP patients will suffer the consequences."

"Their families, companies, and influence will all come after you!"

"Chen Bufan, you saved the people underground."

"But I've offended the heavens upstairs!"

Chen Bufan took a step closer.

"sky?"

He looked up at Gu Huai'an.

"They only dare to hide in dark corners and steal other people's lifespans; do they even deserve to complain to Heaven?"

Gu Huai'an roared:

"They were always more important than those people!"

Chen Bufan said:

"Stolen years of life must eventually be repaid."

That's what happened.

Gu Huai'an felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face.

His face contorted, and he suddenly raised the scalpel, not to stab the nurse, but to stab Chen Bufan.

"Then you should die too!"

He shoved the nurse away and lunged forward.

Extremely fast.

It's like we've been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Lin Wanqing's pupils contracted.

"Chen Bufan!"

She rushed forward almost simultaneously.

boom!

Gunshots rang out.

The bullet struck Gu Huai'an's arm.

The scalpel flew out of his hand, landed on the ground, and slid a long distance away.

Gu Huai'an screamed and fell to the ground.

Police officers rushed forward and pinned him down.

Lin Wanqing stood protectively in front of Chen Bufan, the muzzle of her gun still emitting faint smoke.

"Gu Huai'an".

"You're under arrest."

Gu Huai'an was pinned to the ground, his face pressed against the cold floor.

Blood was flowing down his arm.

But then he suddenly laughed.

He laughed intermittently.

"Arrested?"

"So what if you arrest me?"

"If Changsheng Health and Wellness Hospital is gone, there will be another one."

"If the burial furnace breaks, there will be another one."

"Rich people want to live."

"The poor want to sell."

"The powerful and wealthy are afraid of death."

"The doctor wants to become a god."

"As long as people are afraid of death, the pursuit of immortality will never stop."

Lin Wanqing said:

"take away."

The police officer pulled him up from the ground.

Gu Huai'an stared intently at Chen Bufan.

"Chen Bufan".

"You think you're running a hospital?"

"No."

"You've only touched a single hair of immortality."

Chen Bufan looked at him.

Where is Lu Changsheng?

Gu Huai'an suddenly laughed even more strangely.

"Are you still looking for Lu Changsheng?"

"Hahaha……"

"You all think that Lu Changsheng is prolonging the lives of those wealthy people."

"You think the Longevity Foundation is selling its life to others?"

"Wrong."

"What do you mean?"

Gu Huai'an's smile became increasingly distorted.

He said, word by word:

"Lu Changsheng is not prolonging someone else's life."

"He is prolonging his own life."

Chen Bufan's pupils contracted slightly.

Lin Wanqing's expression also changed.

Gu Huai'an was dragged away by the police officers.

He was still smiling.

"You're checking VIP information."

"Check the hospital."

"Investigate the foundation."

"Investigate those who bought their lives."

"It's no use."

"They're just firewood."

"We are firewood too."

"All the lifespans that are extended will eventually flow to one place."

He stared intently at Chen Bufan, his voice sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Lu Changsheng".

"He is the real furnace."
