The ancient tribesmen led by Tubagen were very efficient. In less than an incense stick of time, they drove out all the people in the three-story building.
One of the ancient tribesmen was holding a woman in his arms. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Qian Xinrou.
There were many people in white coats mixed in the crowd, and I saw Gao He with a cold and silent face.
I quickly walked up to Gao He and said, "Director Gao, you are safe."
Who would have thought that Gao He would glare at me fiercely and said unhappily, "It's all your fault. You've killed my wife and child. That Zhu Huiwen is cruel and now that her deeds have been exposed, she will definitely not let you go. Maybe my wife and child will suffer as well."
I frowned and said, "Director Gao, I think you are worrying too much. Their affair was indeed exposed. But you didn't report it. Even if Zhu Huiwen wants to take revenge, I'm afraid she can't take revenge on you. All this happened because of me. If she wants to take revenge, she can only take revenge on me."
"But I think she may not know who I am yet. And the key is that the police will not let her go now."
Gao He pondered for a long time before his expression eased a little.
I told Tubagen, "This man, stay here first, and take the others over there."
"Yes, Master!"
Then Tubagen took all the people who were driven out of the building to one side and put them under guard.
During this period, many people complained that they were also deceived and used by Zhu Huiwen. I naturally did not believe them, and now I can only wait for the police to arrive.
Seeing me standing there without saying anything, Gao He asked me, "Who are you? What is your purpose here?"
Here's the question again.
I thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it any longer.
I explained, "Director Gao, my name is Yang Tianyi, and I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. In layman's terms, I am a sorcerer. I did not come here intentionally, but because I was captured by Zhu Huiwen's people."
"Originally, this matter had nothing to do with me. But now that I have mistakenly entered here, I can't just sit there and watch. So after I escaped from the dungeon, I went into the building, sneaked into the second floor, found Qian Xinrou's room, and called the police."
"I believe the police should be here soon."
After listening to my explanation, Gao He already understood the whole cause and effect.
He sighed and said, "But Zhu Huiwen is not here now. Her affair has been exposed. I'm afraid she won't show up again."
I smiled and said, "It's okay. Even if the monk escapes, the temple cannot. Qian Xinrou and Zhu Huiwen are from the same village. I believe Zhu Huiwen can't escape. And the Ninth Lady who knows how to use living people to raise Gu can't escape either."
At this point, I asked Gao He, "Director Gao, I've always wanted to ask you, Zhu Huiwen brought you here not only to get the poisonous insects out of those dead bodies, but also to develop a medicine. But why do you want to develop a medicine? Can the medicine you develop also save people?"
Gao He looked at me and said without hiding anything, "I am indeed researching medicine and cultivating poisonous insects in the anatomy room on the third floor. The poisonous insects are taken out of the bodies of dead bodies, and Zhu Huiwen will take them away after a period of time. But medicine is also related to poisonous insects."
"You should know that Gu worms are poisonous. But Zhu Huiwen's mother, the one called Ninth Lady, used Gu worms as medicine to treat people."
"This is unscientific. Even if some people's health conditions have improved due to the poisonous insects, that is
Abnormal. ”
"It is precisely because of this abnormality that those people developed side effects soon after they recovered for a period of time. These side effects vary from person to person. Some people may become vegetative, while others may become insane. Some people may die from excessive accumulation of toxic substances in their bodies."
"So Zhu Huiwen brought me here to actually let me eliminate the side effects of this Gu worm after it was turned into a medicinal herb. But in order to eliminate the side effects, we must study the Gu worm, understand the structure of the Gu worm's body, and the composition of the toxin."
"... Wait a minute, this is a complicated process."
Gao He paused for a moment, then continued, "However, our team has made some progress in recent days. I believe that it won't be long before we can develop a real medicine that can completely control the toxins in the Gu worm's body."
When he said this, Gao He's face showed excitement.
This made me feel very confused. A doctor who was captured was actually devoted to researching something for a bad guy, and judging by what he said, he seemed to have a sense of accomplishment.
I curled my lips and said to Gao He, "Director Gao, I think you are wrong."
Hearing what I said, Gao He looked at me with raised eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
I said in a deep voice, "I mean, you are wrong. You shouldn't regard the research of Gu worms as an achievement. Even if your research is successful, so what? Does it mean that when your research is successful, you have to make a large number of Gu worms into medicinal materials? It's uncomfortable to say that by then, a large number of living people will be needed to parasitize the Gu worms!?"
My words stunned Gao He.
After a while, he raised his head slightly, then lowered it again and said, "Yes, I was wrong. I was ultimately helping the tyrant."
I shrugged and said, "It seems that you have figured it out. But it's not too late now, Director Gao. I want to ask you, can your results save those people in the dungeon who are parasitized by the poisonous insects? If so, I hope you can help. After all, that's a few lives at stake."
Gao He stared at me, then looked at the people squatting on the ground. He said in a trembling voice: "Maybe... yes!"
When I heard the word "okay", I felt a lot more at ease.
I hurried over to Gao He, took his arm, and said, "Come on, let's go to the dungeon. There are still a few people who are alive and well. The poisonous insects in their bodies haven't penetrated into them yet. See if you can save them."
In this way, Gao He was taken into the dungeon by me, and the mischievous Duoduo followed me all the time.
After a while, the two of us entered the dungeon.
Seeing the flashlight, a round head popped out from the wooden cell and looked out. It was Yuquan.
Yuquan raised his voice and asked, "Brother Yang, is that you?"
I raised my voice and said, "Yuquan, it's me. I'm back. The problem outside is solved. I called the police and found the bag."
Yuquan seemed very excited after hearing what I said. He quickly ran out of the wooden prison and headed towards me.
After seeing me, Yuquan muttered, "Amitabha, Brother Yang, you don't know that I was very worried about you in the wooden prison, so I kept chanting sutras and blessing you. I'm glad to see that you are okay."
When I heard this and thought about the previous dangers, I was really moved.
I patted Yuquan on the shoulder and said, "Thank you, Yuquan! This time, it was really dangerous. If I hadn't found the bag, I'm afraid I would have been shot in the head."
Yuquan said a few more words, then his eyes fell on Gao He and asked, "Brother Yang, who is he?"
I handed the flashlight to Yuquan and explained, "He is Director Gao, a doctor. He has found a way to save those people in the wooden cell opposite who are parasitized by the Gu worms."
After hearing what I said, Yuquan was still very surprised, and asked Gao He, "Donor, is this true?"
Gao He nodded worriedly. Maybe he thought Yuquan and I were both weird. After all, I could control a ghost and a large group of "monsters", which was incredible in his eyes. Yuquan, on the other hand, was a bald little monk.
Seeing Gao He's gloomy face, I said to him, "Don't worry, Director Gao, this is my friend. He is a good person."
Gao He nodded woodenly.
Then, I took Gao He to the wooden prison.
My master Zhang Chu also came over, but the others had not yet woken up from the smoke of the charm.
I took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword from the cloth bag, swung the blade down fiercely, and with a "crash", the chain on the wooden prison fence door opposite broke.
I hurriedly took Gao He into the wooden prison opposite, followed closely by my master Zhang Chu and Yuquan.
The flashlight flashed across the bodies and faces of those people one by one.
Gao He's expression was a little serious, and he said to me: "Master Yang, the situation of these people is very complicated. The poisonous insects on their body surface have begun to flow into their bodies. At the same time, their immune systems have been destroyed by the poisonous insects, and they can't feel the pain of being bitten."
"What should we do now?" I asked with a frown.
Gao He hesitated for a moment before speaking: "My medicine has achieved some success and can temporarily immunize against Gu worms and remove their toxins. But Master Yang, Gu worms are very strange, and my medicine has not been tested yet. I am afraid that when I use it, I will not be able to save people but will harm them."
Listening to Gao He's words and tone, I knew he was not joking. After all, he was still a doctor, and he still had some kindness in his heart.
I suddenly thought of the little red pill Qian Xinrou mentioned, so I asked Gao He, "Director Gao, Qian Xinrou said you have developed a little red pill that can immunize against poisonous insects. I wonder if it can be used on these people."
Gao He did not hesitate and shook his head directly: "No! That little red pill, although it is also a medicine, it can only immunize the larvae of the Gu worm. For the Gu worms that have already developed or matured, that pill will not work at all."
Damn, I’m really in a dilemma now.
Gao He told me that the six people in the cell who were parasitized by the poisonous insects were almost unable to hold on. If they didn't rescue them quickly, I'm afraid they would die within three days.
After thinking for a while, I gritted my teeth and said to Gao He fiercely: "Director Gao, never mind, saving lives is the most important thing. Just try the medicine you recently developed. If it succeeds, that's great. If it fails, I don't think these people will blame you."
"After all, you are doing your best. If you want to blame someone, blame Zhu Huiwen and the Ninth Lady who provided the method of raising Gu. They are the masterminds and the culprits. You were forced into this situation."
But Gao He did not reply to me immediately. He checked those people carefully again later.
Finally, he sighed, nodded, and said, "Well, that's all we can do. Now I'll go back to my laboratory in the building. There's a tube of medicine I developed there, which should be enough for these people."
After hearing this, I hurriedly said, "That's great. Director Gao, let's go to the third floor and get the medicine."
Gao He nodded, and then the two of us, along with the young monk Yuquan, hurried out of the wooden prison.
