Chapter 412: I Can Cure It
Chapter 412 I Can Cure
Gu Dongxing nodded, "Give me the details. Xiaomeng must understand the situation to treat the illness properly."
Zhong Zhengwen also knew that there were no secrets in front of a doctor. He sighed and told of a bizarre incident that happened three years ago.
Three years ago, when Elder Yue Long Zhenghui was still in power, he organized a crackdown on a secretive cult.
This cult had an advisor with some abilities, who was said to be capable of casting special spells. What was most miraculous was that he could bestow blessings or lay curses.
People who fell ill would recover with his blessings, but if anyone offended him and was cursed by him, they would fall sick or even die.
The reason the cult was able to amass so many followers so quickly was also due to the advisor’s bizarre spells. For example, he could breathe fire, dip his hand in boiling oil without injury, and boil snails that would keep crawling out no matter how long they were cooked, and so on—these "miracles."
When Long Zhenghui was preparing to raid the cult, someone anonymously sent him a silver fire and a few silver bullets, with a letter explaining that only with this fire and these bullets could they kill the advisor.
Later, when he led his men to arrest the cult leaders, they not only resisted arrest but engaged them in battle with homemade firearms. His own men suffered casualties, and no matter what they did, they couldn’t kill that advisor.
Old man Long remembered the silver fire and silver bullets, quickly took them out, and shot at the advisor’s heart.
The advisor fell on the spot. But with his dying breath, he pointed at him and cursed: "You are doomed to cough blood and die three years from today."
Three years later, it was also the day Long Zhenghui retired.
He didn’t take it seriously at the time, but his family, having heard about it, was uneasy and insisted he get checked at the hospital. However, the tests revealed nothing wrong, so he let the matter go.
This year happens to be the year he retired and also the third year of the advisor’s curse. His family was extremely cautious, fearing he might fall ill. As it turned out, right after the New Year passed, on the first day of the new year, he began to cough up blood.
The family rushed him to the hospital for all sorts of tests, but still, no issues were found. Some said it was the curse of that advisor and that there was no other way than waiting for death.
By chance, someone in the family heard that Gu Dongxing’s fiancée, Jiang Mengyu, specialized in treating difficult and complex diseases, especially those strange illnesses that hospitals could not treat. Considering the elderly man’s son-in-law was Gu Dongxing’s partner, they immediately called him and sent the patient over.
Hearing this, Zhong Zhengwen looked at Jiang Mengyu very seriously, "Sister-in-law, tell me the truth. What exactly is wrong with my father-in-law? Can it be cured?"
After hearing Zhong Zhengwen’s story, Nan Mengyu inwardly sighed. What curse? It was clearly just a Worm.
It seemed that the so-called advisor used Worms to harm people, making them think it was his curse taking effect.
As for why the Worm lay dormant for three years, it must have been fed a drug that made it sleep upon entering the body until the designated time to awaken passed.
The Worm was hiding in the lungs; since the lungs themselves were not diseased, naturally, no illness could be detected. Its body color matched that of the lung tissue, making it extremely difficult to detect with any instrument.
When Nan Mengyu’s wisp of Wood Spiritual Energy passed by just now, it quickly devoured the energy but also revealed its location.
"Your Elder Yue isn’t sick; he’s been struck by a Worm!" Nan Mengyu said.
If an ordinary hospital were to treat this, naturally it would be difficult, but for Nan Mengyu, it was quite simple.
She said, "I can cure him, but—"
"Just state your conditions directly, I will agree to anything within my power," he insisted.
Nan Mengyu looked at Gu Dongxing.
