Lin Yan and Song Ranran chatted for a while at the entrance of the gymnasium, and then the Song family's car arrived. Song Ranran called the car. With tens of thousands of people leaving the concert venue together, it would definitely be difficult to get a taxi, so Song Ranran called the family driver to come over in advance.
Seeing that it wasn't Song Wei who came, Lin Yan was a little uncomfortable. After this guy was no longer hypnotized, his sister-control attribute also degenerated
"I'll ask the driver to take you home. Qianqian, where do you live now?" Song Ranran asked Ning Qian.
"I still live in the same place as before." Ning Qian said.
"Then let's send Lin Xi first. Her home is closer." Song Ranran said.
"No need." Lin Yan shook her head. "You guys go first. I still have to go to the company."
She actually wanted to go to the hospital. Although Assistant Tan said that neither of them were in danger of life, it was really worrying to see them injured like that. Moreover, she also wanted to know whether Aquaman's ears could recover.
"You go to the company at this time?" Song Ranran asked in surprise.
"You know, my company doesn't usually have much to do, so I'm quite free. I can't refuse an occasional overtime offer." Lin Xi said.
"That's right. Then I'll take you there directly." Song Ranran said.
"No, driving is not as fast as taking the subway." Lin Yan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you take me to Line 8 in front, where there are fewer people."
Ten minutes later, Lin Yan separated from Song Ranran at the No. 8 subway exit and took the subway to the hospital. She originally thought that Hai Wang and Wu Wang would be sent to a special hospital, after all, their injuries were quite special, but Assistant Tan sent her the address of the Municipal Hospital. Lin Yan had also stayed in this hospital, the one she was sent to after the car accident.
About forty minutes later, Lin arrived at the subway entrance of the city hospital. However, when she came out of the subway, she found that the weather outside had changed without her noticing and it was raining heavily. The subway entrance was still some distance away from the hospital. In such heavy rain, she would definitely get soaked if she walked there.
Just as Lin Xi was hesitating whether to wait for the rain to stop or find a deserted place to go home and get an umbrella, a tall figure holding a black umbrella walked out from the rain and stopped in front of her.
"Senior Chen Chu?" Lin Yan was stunned for a moment.
"Why are you still standing there?" Chen Chu moved the umbrella towards Lin Xi.
Lin Yan finally reacted and took two steps forward and walked into the umbrella. She was wearing sandals today, which were a little slippery after being wet by the rain, causing Lin Yan to lose her balance when she went down the stairs and fall forward. Fortunately, Chen Chu reacted in time and reached out to grab her into his arms.
Lin Xi raised her eyes in surprise and met Chen Chu's equally surprised eyes.
Suddenly, the world became quiet, as if the umbrella had its own barrier that isolated it from everything outside.
"Foolish human, don't go too far. Not only do you use my umbrella to keep out the rain, but you also dare to let me watch you show off your affection."
A sharp voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the somewhat ambiguous atmosphere under the umbrella.
Lin Xi came to her senses, stood up straight and pretended that nothing had happened.
"What was that sound just now?" While speaking, Lin Yan looked up. When she saw the lively face on the umbrella above her head, her expression gradually froze. She pointed at the top of the umbrella and asked in disbelief, "Is this the umbrella of the gods?"
It turned out that it was not her illusion, this umbrella really had its own barrier.
“Foolish human, you recognized my umbrella, but why don’t you worship it?” The Chuuni Umbrella scolded.
Oh no, this is a subway entrance with a bunch of people around. It would be so scary if a talking umbrella suddenly appeared.
Lin Xi hurriedly looked back, but found that there was nothing unusual about the people around her. Some were playing with their phones, some were hailing taxis, and no one was looking at her at all.
"I used the wind to block out the sound." Chen Chu saw Lin Xi's worry and explained.
I see.
"Let's go, the rain will continue for a while." Chen Chu said again.
Lin An nodded quickly and followed Chen Chu to the hospital. Maybe it was because she almost fell just now, but Lin An found that Chen Chu walked very slowly.
Because of me
Lin Xi couldn't help but steal a glance at Chen Chu, but just as the girl's thoughts began to emerge, they were ruined by a certain middle school umbrella that ruined the mood.
"Foolish human, how dare you treat me like this? Don't even think about me helping you in the future."
"Stupid human, I will not forgive you unless you tell me a hundred jokes that are never repeated."
"It's so noisy." Lin An's head hurt because of the Chuuni Umbrella's chuuni remarks. There was nothing she could do because the space under the umbrella was so small, and the Chuuni Umbrella was like yelling in Lin An's ear.
"The God's Umbrella will keep talking as long as it's open. There's nothing I can do about it." Chen Chu sighed, "If it wasn't the only umbrella I had, I wouldn't use it."
Although the Umbrella of God is an S-level item and sounds quite advanced, it is indeed too noisy to use it to keep out the rain.
"By the way, how come you are at the subway entrance so coincidentally?" Lin Yan tried to make her tone calmer to prevent Chen Chu from seeing the turmoil in her heart.
"I'll wait for you there." Chen Chu said.
"thumping!"
In the heavy rain, amid the noise of the second-year umbrellas, Lin Xi heard her own intense heartbeat.
"During the previous battle, I accidentally dragged a rain cloud here, so it rained. I thought you might not have an umbrella, so I came to pick you up." Chen Chu explained.
So this is how the rain came. She said that the weather forecast clearly said there was no rain. So although Senior Chen Chu came to pick her up on purpose, it was not the kind of pick-up she thought, but because he did not want to implicate her because of his mistake.
"What's wrong?" Chen Chu noticed that Lin Xi was in a low mood.
"I'm wondering about the Sea King and the Dirt King. I don't know what's going on with them?" Lin Yan quickly changed the subject.
"Psychics are stronger than ordinary people. Some injuries that are considered serious for ordinary people are not serious for psychics. In comparison, the instability of the psychic core is more serious." Chen Chu explained, "But Assistant Tan has already applied for a wood-type psychic, and he should be able to come tomorrow."
So it is really like what Assistant Tan said, that even if the King of Dirty lost one-third of his blood, it was only a minor injury
As they were talking, the two entered the Municipal Hospital. Chen Chu put away the noisy God's Umbrella, shook off the water on it like an ordinary umbrella, and then casually picked it up in his hand and went to the inpatient department.
In the double room of the inpatient department, Aquaman had finished his treatment and was sent in, while Prince of Pollution was still in the operating room.
Aquaman's injuries on his soul and power core were more serious than those of the Dirty King, but for ordinary doctors, the Dirty King, who had lost too much blood, had broken ribs, and damaged organs, was a seriously ill patient. He had to receive countless CCs of blood transfusions.
"You're here?" Qingkong nodded when he saw the two people coming in, then his eyes fell on the umbrella in Chen Chu's hand that still had some water droplets on it. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Is this the God's Umbrella?"
"Yeah." Chen Chu nodded expressionlessly.
Look, look, no normal person would think of using S-level props to block the rain, Lin Xi secretly complained.
"How is Neptune? Can his ears be cured?" Lin Xi walked to the bedside, looked at Neptune's pale face without a trace of blood, and asked worriedly.
"Yes. The doctor has already treated him, and his hearing will be restored after a period of rest. Given the physical fitness of a psychic, he should be able to recover in two or three days." Qingkong said.
"That's good. Where is the King of Dirty?" Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to ask the King of Dirty.
"The King of Waste is in surgery. He is still stitching his liver. It will probably take another three hours." The person who answered Lin Xi was Assistant Tan who had just pushed the door open.
"Why are you back?" Qingkong asked Assistant Tan.
"The operation will take another three hours. Anyway, you won't die, so I came back to rest." Assistant Tan seemed to be really tired. He walked straight to the sofa, sat down and didn't get up.
Lin Xi was speechless. She had discovered that there were colleagues in their group six, but not many. It was about the level of "as long as you don't die, I won't worry about you."
"You must be hungry. I'll go buy you something to eat." Lin Xi said as she went downstairs. After a while she came back with some water and buns and distributed them to everyone.
"Thank you." Qingkong took it with a smile and glanced at Assistant Tan. "It turns out that girls are more diligent. They are much more careful."
Assistant Tan glanced at him, as if to say, "Even if you imply something, I don't care."
Assistant Tan ate two buns and regained some strength. He remembered something and turned to Chen Chu: "You killed an earth-type mutant on the northern border?"
"Yeah." Chen Chu hummed lightly, as if he had just killed an ant on the roadside.
Chen Chu screwed the bottle cap on, placed the half-drunk bottle of mineral water on the table, casually took out a roll of animal skin-like object from the storage space, and handed it to Assistant Tan.
Lin Xi immediately widened her eyes and looked over. This was the geomagnetic map, the legendary catastrophic prop that could cause earthquakes
Assistant Tan took it and unfolded it. There was nothing on the animal skin.
Assistant Tan was a little confused: "Why is there nothing?"
"Let me see." Qingkong also came over at this time. He took off his glasses and looked at the animal skin carefully. After a moment, he closed his eyes and put his glasses back on. "I can see a strong energy, but I can't see the details clearly."
"Can't even your eyes see clearly?" Assistant Tan was surprised.
"I'm only at level B, it's normal that I can't see clearly." Qingkong said.
"Qingkong's superpower is his eyes?" Lin Yan asked subconsciously. After asking, she remembered that in the superpower world, you can't ask about superpowers casually. She apologized quickly, "Sorry, you don't have to answer."
"Nothing." Qingkong said nonchalantly, "My special ability is my eyes, the eyes of truth."
"Eye of Truth?" It was the first time that Lin Xi heard of this kind of supernatural power.
"This is the name I gave myself. My eyes can see the essence of everything, including..." Qingkong paused, "people's inner thoughts."
Mind reading? Doesn't that mean there is no privacy at all? Oh no, Qingkong can see it!
Lin Xi's eyes widened and her whole body tensed up.
"Don't worry, my glasses have a sealing effect and won't read people's minds at will." Lin Xi's expressions were so rich that Qingkong didn't even need any supernatural powers to guess what Lin Xi was thinking.
"I'm sorry." Lin Xi realized that her expression just now was a bit exaggerated, and Qingkong would probably feel uncomfortable seeing it.
"It's okay." Qingkong has gotten used to it and doesn't mind much.
"So is this a geomagnetic map?" Assistant Tan asked Chen Chu.
Chen Chu frowned and said uncertainly: "I haven't seen it either, so I'm not sure, but he only has this one supernatural item."
This was what he searched out directly from the person after killing him. If the other person really had a geomantic map with him, then it could only be this.
Assistant Tan pondered for a while and said, "Let's find a deserted place to bury it and see if it can absorb the power of the earth veins."
As long as the ground vein map is buried in the soil, it will automatically absorb the power of the ground veins and can be easily identified.
"I suggest not to use it." Qingkong disagreed. "The geo-vein map is a legendary catastrophic item. We have only heard of its function, but we don't know how to use it. If something goes wrong, it will not be the responsibility of our small Jinshi Group 6."
"I don't agree either." Chen Chu also said, "This thing gives me a very dangerous feeling, it's best not to try it lightly."
"If even you think it's dangerous, then it must be the geo-vein map." Chen Chu's ability is definitely among the top three among the superpowers in China. Even if it's not the geo-vein map, something that even he finds scary is definitely a top-notch item. "I'll hand it in directly later, and let the higher-ups worry about it themselves."
Qingkong asked: "What props did they ask for?"
Assistant Tan: "Please choose one of the Staff of the Dead or the Umbrella of the Gods and turn it in, along with the leyline map. Someone from headquarters will come with the wood-type mutants tomorrow and will take it away then."
The Staff of the Dead and the Umbrella of the Gods were equivalent to the spoils of war of the six groups, so they had the right to keep one and hand the rest over to the headquarters to exchange for corresponding rewards. The venation map was a catastrophic item, and Chen Chu had accepted a mission from the headquarters to go to the border, so he had to hand it over for both emotional and logical reasons.
"Go ahead." The system suddenly spoke.
Lin Yan was stunned and asked silently: "Where are you going?"
"Geophysical map." said the system.
Geological map? This is the second time the system has been interested in something other than divination. The last time it was interested in the crown of the high priest.
"You want to buy the geography map?" Lin Yan said immediately, "No, this thing has to be handed over to the country. I can't sell it to you."
The high priest's crown was her property last time, so it was okay to sell it to the system, but this thing belongs to the country and she has no right to dispose of it.
"I won't buy it, but if you give it to me, I can reluctantly accept it." said the system.
What? For you
Lin Yan was immediately happy: "Comrade System, if you want to eat ice cream or hot and sour noodles, I can give them to you. But you think too much about the geocentric map."
"Go up and take a look to see if there is really no trace at all on the geomagnetic map." The system ignored Lin Xi's ridicule and was only interested in the geomagnetic map.
Out of curiosity, Lin Yan came over and said, "Can I take a look at that?"
Assistant Tan handed her the geomagnetic map.
Lin Xi took it and unfolded it. The geocentric map was not big, about the size of an A3 paper. It felt a bit rough. After touching it carefully, it didn't feel like animal skin, but the specific material could not be determined. It was yellow all over, very thin, and even translucent.
"Bottom left corner." System prompt.
Lin looked down at the lower left corner, and found a golden line about one centimeter in diameter, so light that it was almost invisible. Because it was the same color as the background, it was not visible unless you looked carefully.
"What is this?" Lin asked.
"Earth veins." said the system.
Leylines? Leylines on a leyline map
"What's the use?" Lin asked.
"There must be a vein on the map. When the last bit of vein fades away, the map must be redrawn." said the system.
Redraw? Then how to draw this geography map
Just as Lin Yan was about to ask again, a doctor suddenly ran in: "Yun Yi's family members."
Everyone raised their heads and looked towards the doctor.
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait outside the operating room?" The doctor didn't bother to complain and handed a piece of paper to Assistant Tan. "During the operation just now, we found that Yun Yi's heart was also squeezed and needs to be repaired. This is the consent form. Please sign it."
Assistant Tan said "oh", took the paper and pen and signed his name directly: "OK."
"Don't worry, we will do our best to treat the patient." The doctor comforted him habitually.
"We are relieved. Thank you for your hard work, doctor."
The doctor was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt something was wrong. It seemed that from the moment he entered the door until now, this family member had been too calm. Not only was there no anxiety or worry on his face, but he hadn't even moved from the sofa.
Although he had been in the hospital for so many years and had seen all kinds of human relationships, this was the first time he had seen someone so cold and indifferent. The Yun Yi in the operating room could die at any time.
"Aren't you going to follow?" the doctor couldn't help but ask.
"I'll go." Lin Xi understood the doctor's hidden meaning and stepped forward on her own initiative.
Assistant Tan glanced at her and said, "Okay, go and keep an eye on it. Come back if there's nothing else."
Assistant Tan seemed really busy. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and kept typing on his phone. I don’t know who he was communicating with.
The doctor was in a hurry to deliver the consent form and did not wait for Lin Xi. Lin Xi asked the nurse herself and found the door of the operating room.
It was unusually quiet outside the operating room. There were a few family members waiting, but everyone's face was filled with anxiety and fear. Lin was infected by the atmosphere and sat alone in a corner looking at her phone. After a while, her phone suddenly ran out of battery. She didn't dare to leave the operating room door, so she could only sit there.
Before she knew it, Lin Xi felt a little sleepy and fell asleep in a daze.
When Chen Chu came over, he saw Lin Yan leaning back in the chair and nodding her head. He sat over silently and supported the girl's head with his shoulder, allowing her to sleep more soundly.
