Jagged City - Chapter 380 Seven Strange Events in the Hospital

"It's not those ministers. We are disciplined and it's hard to explain to you in detail. I hope you can understand." The charming girl tried her best to restrain her emotions.In the ninth round, most of them are capable people and strangers, relying on their talents and being arrogant, and don't pay attention to people in the officialdom, especially when they go to the local area, this kind of arrogance is even more obvious, and it is very rare for a charming girl to be humble at this moment.

Lin Tao said in his heart, if you want to pretend, do you have to take out your bottom?

"Oh, that's it, then you tell me the details of Xiao Wu's injury without missing anything, otherwise I don't know how to help!" Lin Tao frowned slightly.

"This—this also involves state secrets, so I can't tell you in detail, why don't you just go and have a look?" the charming girl said stumblingly.

Lin Tao smiled: "Miss Han, I am a Chinese medicine student. I can't do without one or the other. If you don't tell me, I can't prescribe the right medicine!"

"This injury cannot be treated by traditional Chinese medicine, it needs special measures." The charming girl became a little impatient.

Lin Tao spread his hands helplessly and said, "What special means, Ms. Han, have you been deceived? Who told you to find me?"

"Impossible, how could our director make fun of Xiao Wu's life—"

"Your bureau chief? Golden Five Elements?" Lin Tao asked.

"You—you—how do you know the name of our director?" The charming girl looked like a ghost.

Lin Tao laughed and said, "Why can't I know the name of your bureau chief, you comrade speak very strangely!"

Lin Tao also played an official tone, as if deliberately teasing this beautiful woman, Lao Hu wanted to be happy but didn't dare to be happy, and said in his heart, playing deep with our chief, you are still young.

The charming girl was like a deflated ball, scolding the director secretly, playing with herself, and said angrily: "Since you know everything, you still ask me."

Lin Tao snorted coldly: "I'm not a god either. How could I know how Xiao Wu was injured? Since his condition is serious, why don't you tell me quickly."

The charming girl suddenly shuddered, feeling as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, especially the smiling mayor, whose eyes seemed to release two knives, very sharp and scary.The charming girl didn't dare to move, and stammered what had happened, Hu Yang next to her felt incredible after hearing it.I wanted to open my mouth to ask, but seeing that Lin Tao didn't say anything, I had to keep my mouth shut.The charming girl Han Feifei looked at Lin Tao anxiously, as if waiting for the verdict.

"There is still such a place in Xiliang, I really gained experience. Let's go to the hospital." Lin Tao stood up.Xiaoguan went out to prepare the car.

"You don't need to bring anything?" the charming girl asked cautiously.The feeling just now seems to have been experienced by the director, like encountering a natural enemy, which makes people's soul uneasy, wanting to move but being unable to move, that feeling is very scary and uncomfortable.The charming girl doesn't want to go through it again.Now she is a little afraid of Lin Tao.

"No, I don't have anything to bring. I don't know what to do if I don't see the patient, but your director thinks highly of me." Lin Tao snorted, obviously dissatisfied with this Jin Wuxing for not calling him directly for help. Undoubtedly underestimated Lin Tao.

Soon, Lin Tao and his party arrived at the hospital.Lin Tao and the charming girl entered the ward, while the others stayed outside.Lao Li stood up excitedly, and said hastily, "Mayor Lin, please take a look, it seems to be getting worse."

Lin Tao walked up to take a closer look, and he was overwhelmed. On Xiao Wu's neck and face, black lines like earthworms kept agitating, as if crawling under the skin, which was very frightening.Lin Tao rolled over Xiao Wu's eyelids, and Xiao Wu's eyes were blood red.

"Where is the injury? Open it and have a look." Lin Tao said.

"The wound is at the heart, ah—" Lao Li opened Xiao Wu's hospital gown, exposing his chest, and couldn't help screaming, while the charming girl on the other side also covered her mouth, her face full of horror.But seeing the gauze on Xiao Wu's chest as the center, stretching out a black thing as thick as the little finger, and thin blood-red threads intertwined on the side, as if there is a black root system in the heart.

Lin Tao frowned, it was definitely the first time he saw such an injury since he was born.The big gauze that slapped Xiao Wu's heart kept beating, as if the heartbeat was not so strong, Lin Tao grabbed it and tore off the gauze.The charming girl screamed immediately.

"Chief!" Xiaoguan outside the door shouted.

"It's okay." Lin Tao also swallowed with difficulty. It turned out that Xiao Wu's chest was a small palm print. The most terrifying thing was that the flesh and blood in the center of the palm turned into something similar to an eyeball, and it was turning around in a horrible way. I have never seen such a scene in the film.

"What the hell is this?" Expert Li's voice has changed. Even if he chopped people into meat paste on the spot, it is not as scary as the current scene. Moreover, he has never heard of such a situation in these years.

Lin Tao thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to treat this kind of injury. If I do it forcefully, I'm afraid Xiao Wu will die on the spot."

"This-this-how can this be done?"

"Quickly ask the director for instructions!" the charming girl shouted.

"Yes, yes—" Lao Li's hands trembled, and the eyeballs of Xiao Wu's heart looked very evil.

"Director, Xiao Wu is now—" Lao Li described Xiao Wu's symptoms again.

Jin Wuxing over there was also taken aback, and asked Lao Li to hand over the phone to Lin Tao. Lin Tao signaled Lao Li to hold the phone, and Lao Li put the phone close to Lin Tao's ear. Lin Tao's attention was still focused on the heart, because Lin Tao seemed to feel , that thing still has thinking, a threatening look, but it wants to retreat, and it is in a stalemate with Lin Tao's eyes.

"Mayor Lin, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm Jin Wuxing, the director of the Ninth Bureau. I think you know something. I can't talk nonsense now. Xiao Wu's situation is very bad. Please help me. The one looks like an eyeball. It is like a plant, but it is controlled by evil forces, if it cannot be pulled out in time, Xiao Wu's blood will be sucked dry by him, and that thing will become a disaster."

"Director Jin, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation, what should I do?"

"You need to protect Xiao Wu's head and heart at the same time, and then pull out that strange thing at once. It's your best, even if Xiao Wu dies, I, Jin Wuxing, owe you a favor." There was a faint voice on the phone Said.

Lin Tao sneered in his heart, and said to himself, this old monster is still hiding.Lin Tao said with a smile: "Xiao Wu was also injured for the Xiliang case. If I have the ability to help, I will be obliged to help. I also admire Director Jin very much. I don't know when I can see him."

"In three days, I will go to Xiliang, and I also want to meet Mayor Lin." Jin Wuxing's voice was still very flat.

"When the time comes, we will sweep the couch to welcome you. By the way, if you take out this strange thing, how will you deal with Xiao Wu's injury?"

"It's enough to protect the heart veins and stop the bleeding. It would be even better if I can use my true energy to help Xiao Wu recover his body—" Jin Wuxing said this, and suddenly heard the scream of the charming woman.

Just now while Lin Tao was chatting, he controlled his breath, observed the position of Xiao Wu's head and heart, and then quickly used his true energy to protect these two positions. The thing with the eyeball seemed to feel threatened, and suddenly shrank down. It seems to want to get into Xiao Wu's body.But Li Lintao shot like lightning, and caught the eyeball at once. What the charming girl and Lao Li next to him saw was that the eyeball seemed to jump into Lin Tao's hand all at once.And there are thirteen little-finger-thick black roots on the bottom of this thing, but you can see, Lin Tao pulled his right hand out, left his left hand on Xiao Wu's face, shaking his chest back and forth, where Lin Tao's hand went, the earthworm-like roots, As if frightened, he kept shrinking back, and bloodstains formed on Xiao Wu's face and chest.The strange thing got longer and longer, and finally pulled it all out, but saw a strange eyeball in Lin Tao's palm, with thirteen antennae constantly swinging on it, it was really scary.

"Is this a plant? Director Jin—Team Leader Li turned on the camera and let Director Jin take a look." Lin Tao muttered.

Old Li trembled, turned on the camera, and pointed at the strange thing in Lin Tao's hand.But Lin Tao's left hand still kept pointing, and Xiao Wu's chest spurted out a stream of dirty blood, which was also stenchy and pungent.Until the blood flowed out, the wound was slowly closed again, and the bleeding stopped.Xiao Wu also cried out in pain and opened his eyes, but when he saw the scene in front of the window, he made a strange cry and immediately jumped under the bed.

"Xiao Wu?" The charming girl supported the head of the bed, her legs twisted, and she was surprised and happy to see that Xiao Wu was fine.

"Sister Feifei, what's going on? Is this the monster above? Is he Mayor Lin?" Xiao Wu's head was a little out of control, and he was frightened by the scene in front of him.

"This thing is called a vampire vine. It is a special kind of seed that is cultivated with the blood of the dead, and there is a secret curse cast on it by the caster. If you can kill this ghost plant with pure yang energy, the caster will There will be a strong backlash, but—”

"Squeak——" the bloodthirsty ghost vine made a creaking sound, and its tentacles shrank, forming a ball.As soon as Lin Tao stimulated his inner strength, the black mess ignited a golden flame with a bang.

"what--"

There was a scream in everyone's ears, which pierced the eardrums of the three of Lao Li and made them feel dizzy.Looking at the palm of Lin Tao's hand again, there was only a touch of fine dust falling down.

"Okay, I underestimated your Excellency. The person behind the scenes must have received a strong backlash. I will go to Xiliang tomorrow." Jin Wuxing also showed joy, because Lin Tao did this, so he didn't have to prepare anything.

"Waiting for you at any time." Lin Tao said indifferently.

"The three of you have done a good job, and I will give you a credit. Goodbye, Mayor Lin, and thank you for your help!"

call ended.The three of Lao Li respected Lin Tao like heaven and man, and their faces were full of awe.

"Mayor Lin, thank you for saving Xiao Wu, we are very grateful."

"Xiao Wu, if you don't have Mayor Lin, you'll be dead. That damn thing was caught out of your heart by Mayor Lin."

Xiao Wu let out an ah, and quickly thanked Lin Tao, but seeing Lin Tao smiling, he was really scared in his heart.In Xiao Wu's heart, Lin Tao had already been equated with the director, that is, a monster, definitely a hundred times more terrifying than ghosts, zombies and other monsters.

"You all know the confidentiality regulations. Even the people in your bureau can't tell you what you saw today. Do you understand?" Lin Tao glanced at the three of them.

The three immediately shuddered.

"understand!"

The three of them spoke in unison, standing straight, even Lin Tao walked out of the ward without reacting, after a while, Xiao Wu leaned against the wall, muttering 'old monster'

The charming girl patted her chest and panted heavily. Although the white and plump hemisphere was extremely attractive at the moment, Xiao Wu didn't bother to look at it.

Old Li was still in shock, looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, you have lost a lot of blood, do you need some blood?"

"I'm fine. I'll make up for it after eating something good. Let's go too. In this ward—we'll pay more for the sanitation later." Xiao Wu said, looking at the stinky black blood on the ground.

"This blood has to be dealt with." Lao Li took out a bottle from his bag, poured the white powder on the blood, and immediately a blue flame erupted.After crackling and burning for 1 minute, the blood disappeared, and the strange smell in the room became less.The three of them opened the door and went out.

Director Hu is still waiting at the service desk.Said it was a treat, and the three of them were very grateful.I went back to the hotel to take a shower and changed clothes before arriving at the restaurant.The three of them were not polite in front of Populus euphratica. Facing lamb chops and large pieces of beef, they devoured them hungrily.Populus euphratica was persuading him to drink, feasting his eyes occasionally.

After the three of them were full of wine and food, Lao Hu found another private room and invited the three of them to drink tea. Although Lao Hu repeated the routine, the three of them did not talk about work matters, and they were quite vigilant.Hu Yang saw that he could not succeed, so he had to leave and let the three of them have a good rest.

When Lin Tao came home, Xiao Xiao asked him what he did. When Lin Tao told the story, Xiao Xiao was also surprised, but more excited.He said impatiently: "Do you want plants that look like living things? Why don't you bring them back for me to see? It's true!"

Lin Tao was speechless, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "That ghost thing, people are scared to death when they see it, and it's too late to hide. You still want to see it. Why are you so courageous!"

"When we were in school, there were a few sisters in our dormitory, but we loved hearing ghost stories. But we were also a little scared. We both lay in the same bed and listened to them, and we sat in a hug in fright while listening."

Lin Tao rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but think of that evocative scene.In the end, Xiao Xiao knocked her down.

"What are you thinking? I'm obsessed with sex."

"Hey, at that time, I wish I could live in your dormitory."

"Pervert. However, my husband, tell me, there are really ghosts in this world. Could it be that the little girl that the three clerks met in Hongtugou is a ghost. But ghosts can't appear during the day!"

"I haven't seen anything like a ghost, but it has that kind of special ability. It seems to have some consciousness. If it invades the human body, it will make people hallucinate. It's like the weasel in the countryside, which can emit a chemical substance. , can control weak people, especially women. It is because people don’t understand that they fear it. After liberation, especially in the 80s, the country did not reduce the weasel fur for making fur clothes, brushes and the like. It also corresponds to the saying that gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people. We are atheists, so if we are not afraid of this thing, our resistance will naturally be stronger." Lin Tao explained.

Xiao Xiao snorted: "It sounds a bit like self-deception, or self-hypnosis, even though I saw a ghost, I didn't admit it."

Lin Tao smiled: "People tend to be afraid of unknown things. Once they understand it, they will not be afraid anymore. No matter how powerful monsters and ghosts are, they are also powerful, but the atomic bomb is not. The power of technology is now the most powerful. However, going to work every day, occasionally It's very interesting to meet this kind of business. There may be a special guest coming tomorrow, you can arrange the company's affairs, and we will entertain him."

"Who? It deserves so much attention."

Lin Tao explained the mysterious Ninth Bureau and the director Jin Wuxing.Xiao Xiao is also very interested and wants to meet this expert.

At noon the next day, Lin Tao got the news that Jin Wuxing had arrived secretly.In order to show his finality, Lin Tao personally wrote an invitation card according to ancient etiquette, and sent someone to send it to the hotel. The invitation card was very polite, and the name of Director Jin was long known, and he specially invited Director Jin to a banquet. The place was Seven Star Bay Villa .

Jin Wuxing arrived in Xiliang secretly, with only two people with him, one is an old man around 60 years old, and the other is a young man around 30 years old. This young man is full of vigor, domineering, and extraordinary appearance.Especially with long hair, it looks quite chic.After receiving the three of them, the charming girl kept her eyes on this person from time to time, except that she didn't dare to show her air.Team leader Li made a detailed report to the three of them, and explained everything about the investigation after arriving in Xiliang and the investigation in Hongtugou.

"Lingyun, what do you think of what happened to them in Hongtugou?" Jin Wuxing sat there, sipping tea, and said lightly.At this moment, there are three people in the room, Lao Li and Jin Wuxing, but there are only two people sitting there, one is Jin Wuxing, and the other is the young man Ling Yun.The 60-year-old man, standing beside Jin Wuxing, looked like a servant.But the old man's eyes were golden like an eagle, his temples were bulging, his hands were big and bony, like chicken feet, what made people sick was that all ten of the old man's fingertips were black and thick, It is about three centimeters long, and the front is still pointed, similar to that of an eagle's claw.These ten claws were only exposed for a while when he was lighting a cigar for Jin Wuxing, and then retracted into the wide sleeves.

"I reckon that place should be close to their old lair. Taking advantage of the thick fog and the psychedelic smoke inside, Team Leader Li and the three took the brain-boosting pills, but they were still tricked. And the little Girl, it should be a living corpse made of secret medicine. Although the person is not really dead, he has become a monster that only obeys the order of the caster. It is with the help of fog and phantom medicine that the dark man controls the living corpse to carry out a sneak attack. According to Team Leader Li's investigation and the Xiliang Police Department's information, the gangsters collected children born on the [-]th day of July, and they probably cultivated a so-called little ghost, who was possessing the little girl who was lost in Hongshi Village recently, turning into a living corpse However, according to the missing persons, the distribution area, and the time span, it seems that there is also a inheritance. It is estimated that it is a few masters and apprentices, or a family. The number of living corpses and whether there are other methods are also uncertain. If you want to know the specific situation, you still need to inquire about it, and leave this matter to the apprentice, master, you old man is here to listen." After Ling Yun analyzed it, he asked Jin Wuxing for orders.

Jin Wuxing was wearing a silver-gray tunic suit, brown glasses, and a beardless face. From the outside, he looked about forty years old.But Lao Li knows that since the first time he saw the director 15 years ago, he has been like this. It was Lao Li who was still a young man, but after 15 years, Xiao Li became old, but Li looked much older than the director.Some people in the bureau called Jin Wuxing Daddy, and some secretly called the old monster.Jin Wuxing tapped the ash, and then spit out a smoke ring from his mouth.

After waiting for a while, he said, "That person is extraordinary if he can cultivate bloodthirsty ghost vines. Bloodthirsty ghost vines have not been interviewed for 60 years. I thought that the secret technique was lost. Showed up in Xiliang. This thing used to be said to be magic, but it can be explained by current technology, that is, genetic technology, biotechnology. In recent years, our bureau has not had much to show for it, and some people have already expressed interest in our bureau. This is not good for us. Therefore, this case is also an opportunity for us. As long as the cultivation technology of bloodthirsty ghost vines is obtained, it is enough for them to study for ten years. This is the so-called overall situation Well, those of us have some secret skills, and all we play are clever, what we lack is this kind of overall view of the officialdom."

Ling Yun frowned slightly, thinking that what the master answered was irrelevant to the question, how to solve this case!

Jin Wuxing continued: "Our ninth game has always been very mysterious to outsiders, which has advantages and disadvantages. Although we want to maintain independence, we also need to cooperate with some powerful forces. I came here this time not only to be optimistic about this The case is more to meet a person."

"Master, you mean, that Mayor Lin?" Ling Yun exclaimed, with a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

"Although I secretly sent someone to investigate this Mayor Lin, it still exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect that this person not only practiced his internal skills to the extreme, but also—" Jin Wuxing hesitated to speak.

"Master thinks him too highly! No matter how good your internal strength is, you can't withstand bullets. What's more, we have many other means, which are not comparable to him. Even if Xiao Wu's electric baton is given to him, he can't resist it." You can shock him to death!" Ling Yun said disdainfully, Xiao Wu was also very happy when he heard it, and he was much less afraid of Lin Tao, so he couldn't help but glance at Ling Yun gratefully.

At this moment, Xiaoguan found the hotel and sent the invitation.After reading the invitation, Jin Wuxing said to Xiaoguan that he would go to the banquet on time at six o'clock in the evening, and Xiaoguan went back with a message.

Ling Yun took the invitation card that master Jin Wuxing put on the table, and said with a sneer, "Master, this Mayor Lin has a lot of airs. He didn't say he would visit you in person, but he just sent someone to send an invitation card."

"Why bother, we owe him a favor this time. If it wasn't for his help, Xiao Wu's life would be gone."

"Director, I'm sorry to embarrass you. It's all because of my carelessness, I was attacked by surprise." Xiao Wu said shamefully.

Jin Wuxing waved his hand and said: "It's not your fault, you can't deal with that kind of living corpse. Well, you guys have a good rest these two days, we still have a tough battle to fight. Tonight, Ling Yun, you come with me to the banquet , I happened to meet this Mayor Lin. During the Chinese New Year, this Mayor Lin showed his talents in Wudang, showing three unique skills, which shocked Wudang, and announced his opening of the school in Wudang. Now this Mayor Lin is also Hunyuan Wuji The Patriarch of the Taixuan Sect, known privately as a Martial Saint, will gain a lot of insight if I take you there."

"The name of the sect is glamorous, such as Hunyuan, Wuji, and too mysterious. It sounds mysterious. I don't know if there is any real talent and practical learning." Ling Yun was so angry when he heard it, he said to himself, the master praised the poor mayor to the sky .

Jin Wuxing smiled and didn't speak. This apprentice is good in everything, but he is domineering.Jin Wuxing took him to see Lin Tao firstly to meet Lin Tao, and secondly to grind his apprentice's temper.
