He Xi took a deep breath, walked slowly to the young man, and slowly squatted down in front of him.
Two pairs of similar phoenix eyes looked at each other, and the lingering purple light rippled.
He Xi said softly in an unprecedentedly gentle tone: "Be good, sit still and let me take a look, okay?"
The boy tilted his head and made an ambiguous sound in his throat. Then he squatted on his legs like a well-behaved sheepdog, with his hands hanging in front of his chest.
His instinctive reaction made Hexi feel sad. Even though he was just Nalan Hexi's younger brother, seeing his situation, Hexi actually felt distressed.
She no longer hesitated and examined the structure of the helmet.
Just with this one look, murderous intent surged in Hexi's eyes again.
Nalan Zhengze was indeed insidious and vicious. The helmet on the boy's head had a needle as thin as a hair connected to his brain nerves.
If the needle is forcibly removed, it will pierce the boy's Baihui acupoint, causing him to bleed from all seven orifices and die immediately. Even if you are a miracle doctor, it may be too late to save him.
Moreover, fortunately, when Nalan Zhengze was here just now, Nangong Yu held him back and prevented him from acting rashly.
Because there is a secret formation in this helmet, the control is probably in the hands of Nalan Zhengze. If there was any unusual movement just now, Nalan Zhengze would most likely activate the formation and let the young man be buried with him.
Haha, Doctor Nalan is so cruel and vicious.
He Xi didn't mind the dirt and stench on the boy at all. He patted his shoulder gently and took out a silver needle.
The silver needle poked into the helmet and stabbed it several times quickly. After a moment, a clicking sound was heard on the helmet.
The needle shot upward and pierced straight into the ceiling of the cave.
The helmet that was originally covering the young man's body also broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.
Nangong Yu raised the lighting crystal and let the light fall on the boy's face.
It was a pale face without a trace of blood. Due to the pressure of the helmet, the face looked extremely thin, but it could not conceal the boy's outstanding facial features and delicate appearance.
Although this face is not so stunning as to be stunningly beautiful, it is 50% similar to He Xi's face when she is dressed as a man.
Nangong Yu knew without even guessing that this should be Nalan Hexi's real brother.
He Xi stared at the young man in front of him in a daze.
The boy seemed a little uncomfortable with the removal of the heavy thing on his face. His dirty hands formed the shape of claws and he kept trying to scratch his face.
A whining sound came from its mouth, which sounded like the sound made by a puppy.
He Xi reached out and pressed down his hand, saying in a hoarse voice, "Don't move."
Pure water spiritual power condensed in her palms, slowly washing over the boy's hands which were covered in mud and food residues.
The washed hands looked as pale as his face, thin and bony.
What’s even more terrifying is that these hands are covered with fine and dense scars, some of which have not even healed yet and have become red and swollen due to infection.
When I saw the scars on the boy's wrists just now, I thought they were caused by the chain, but now I realize that these are not marks of strangulation at all, but... they are caused by being cut by a sharp blade.
He Xi gently stroked the boy's still red and swollen scars and asked in a low voice, "Does it hurt?"
The boy seemed to sense her depressed mood and immediately made a whimpering sound.
Then, he made a move that shocked He Xi. (To be continued)
