Seeing that Lin Jiu didn't say anything, the woman cried, "Boss Lin, can my husband be saved?"
Hearing the voice of "Boss Lin", several nurses turned around and looked over. When they saw Lin Jiu's signature long black hair and black mask, their eyes sparkled. Boss Lin is so famous nowadays, they actually got to see him in person!
Lin Jiu was so worried about the little bug that he didn't have time to ask the system if there was a solution.
Instead of waiting for the system's reply, I received a prompt from the energy collection system.
The energy collection system reminds the host that the magic crystal marrow energy conversion is complete, and a total of 932,660 magic points are obtained.
Lin Jiu: …
At the beginning, Vera gave him three magic crystal marrows, and he found two magic crystal marrow fragments himself. The magic value after conversion was more than 800,000. As a result, the five magic crystal marrows given by the Cecil family were only this much more. It turned out that what they gave were all defective products.
However, Lin Jiu was already content with such a large amount of magic value. Although it was less than 1 million, he could use the magic value in his hand to make up for it. He could always gather enough magic value to buy advanced gene enhancers. As long as Si Xu used it, he could become a real demon spirit.
The excited voice of the system exploded in Lin Jiu's mind.
Host, host, do you want to buy advanced gene enhancers now
Lin Jiu: No rush.
Lin Jiu is not in a hurry, but the system is!
How can I not be anxious? The sooner I buy it, the sooner I can upgrade!
Lin Jiu: Now that Si Xu is not here, I can only put it in my inventory if I buy it. Isn't it more useful for mana? Why should I spend it so early
System upgrades take time, so the sooner you buy it, the sooner you can upgrade. After I upgrade, maybe there will be a solution to the bugs.
Lin Jiu was suspicious: In other words, you have nothing to do now
Everything I know is something that happened and was recorded in the Demon Sea plane. As for what happened in the Earth plane, I definitely don't know about it unless there is an online record. Moreover, this kind of disease and insect has never appeared before, so there is no record of it.
Lin Jiu: Then how do you know that there will be a solution after you upgrade
The system got stuck.
I don’t know now, but after the upgrade and I become more powerful, won’t the possibility of knowing be higher
Lin Jiu always felt that the system was too anxious, but as long as it involved magic points, how could the system not be anxious
Lin Jiu: If upgraded, will the system functions still work normally
Most functions will be closed, basic functions will be opened, and the gate can be used normally.
Lin Jiu thought for a moment: Your ability may be needed now, so you should upgrade it later.
system:…
Don't wait until later, everything can be upgraded right now, everything can be upgraded very quickly, awesome!
Lin Jiu: Will the subsystem be shut down
No, the subsystem is open normally and it is the main system that is being upgraded.
Lin Jiu thought that keeping the Demon Hunting System would be of no help now. If the upgrade could really solve the pest crisis, it would be better to upgrade it as soon as possible. After all, as long as the subsystems are not affected, the Demon Hunting Chef System, the energy collection system and Si Xu's weapon manufacturing system can be used normally.
Lin Jiu spent 1 million magic points to buy an advanced gene enhancer. He felt distressed and excited. He felt distressed about the magic points, but was excited because he wanted to know what Si Xu would look like when he completely turned into a demon spirit.
As soon as Lin Jiu finished paying, he heard a cold mechanical sound coming from the system, which was obviously not the normal sound of the system.
The Demon Hunting System reminds the host that the accumulated magic points have exceeded 1 million, meeting the upgrade requirements. The Demon Hunting System is upgrading...
Lin Jiu was stunned. The mechanical voice only said this one sentence, and then there was nothing else. Even the upgrade progress could not be seen.
Lin Jiu came here just to confirm whether this disease and insect came from the Demon Sea plane. Now that it has been confirmed, he has no way to solve the problem, so he won't waste time here.
Lin Jiu left the ward and headed towards the elevator. When he passed the door of a ward, he saw a small ball rolling out of the ward and was kicked out by Lin Jiu.
Lin Jiu: …
Lin Jiu hurriedly took two steps, grabbed the small ball and wanted to send it back to the ward, but when he turned around, he met a pair of eyes.
Lin Jiu looked at the little boy standing at the door in surprise. Wasn't he the child who was confirmed to be infected with the bug? !
The door of the ward was only half open, and the little boy was standing in front of the open door. There was no expression on his face and his eyes looked empty.
Lin Jiu always felt a chill on his back when he was staring at him.
When the two looked at each other, Lin Jiu was surprised to find that there was a flash of green light between the little boy's eyebrows.
Lin Jiu suspected that he had seen it wrong, and looked carefully again, there was no green light, and there was still intact skin there.
The boy's empty eyes gradually regained their spirits, and he smiled at Lin Jiu. That smile was a little strange... No, not only the smile was strange, but everything about the boy made Lin Jiu feel strange, especially...
Lin Jiu looked up at the little boy and finally realized what was strange. The little boy was standing at the door with his feet together, his toes aligned with the door line. He was standing there straight, but it just felt strange.
The little boy stretched out his hand and said, "Brother, this is my ball."
Lin Jiu took a few steps closer and handed the ball over, "Here you go."
The little boy's hand was some distance away from the ball. "Brother, can you come a little closer?"
Lin Jiu was about to take a step, but suddenly stopped and said, "Come and get it."
The little boy looked at the ball eagerly, "I can't go out."
Lin Jiu was about to ask about this, he squatted down, "Why can't you come out?"
The little boy stared at the ball again and said, "The nurse said I can't leave the ward, not even a step."
That strange feeling reappeared.
Lin Jiu looked around and said, "The nurse is not here now. If you sneak out, she won't know."
The smile on the little boy's face disappeared. "I promised the nurse that I would not leave the ward."
Lin Jiu stared at the little boy for a long time and came to a conclusion: the child was abnormal.
Normally, children of this age are the most forgetful and playful. Even if their parents tell them not to be naughty or run around, they will still run around and play. Just like this child, the nurse told him not to leave the house for a single moment, but he did not leave at all, not even his toes crossing the line.
"Taotao, what are you doing standing at the door?" A young nurse walked over quickly.
When the young nurse saw Lin Jiu, she guessed his identity without asking any questions just by looking at his long hair and mask.
The young nurse asked uncertainly: "Are you Boss Lin?"
Lin Jiu stood up and said, "It's me."
The little nurse was very happy. "I am your fan. Can you sign an autograph for me?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
He hasn't been an idol for so long, why does he still need an autograph
The young nurse quickly took a pen and a photo from the nurses' station and asked Lin Jiu to sign the photo.
As soon as Lin Jiu saw the photo, he felt a little uncomfortable.
The photo should have been developed by the young nurse herself. It was the photo of Lin Jiu tying himself up in a bunch of bone spurs and looking at the camera blankly. The key point was that he was in the form of a mermaid!
The young nurse looked at him hopefully. Lin Jiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and sign his name on the photo.
The young nurse happily returned the photo to the service desk and put it away. She came back and wanted to take Taotao back to the ward. However, the little boy was still standing at the door with his feet together, motionless.
"Can I ask you something?" Lin Jiu suddenly asked.
The nurse was of course happy to answer Aidou's questions, "What do you want to ask?"
Lin Jiu asked: "What happened to Taotao? When did he wake up?"
The young nurse was a little surprised. "You know about him?"
Lin Jiu talked about how Taotao's mother carried him to the Magic Fish Shop for help, and it was the Magic Fish Shop that called the ambulance.
The nurse said, "I don't know the details. He was not in good condition when he was brought here. He would make a fuss whenever he was awake. Two days later, he woke up again and suddenly became quiet and very obedient. He would eat when he was told to, and would not run around when he was told not to."
Lin Jiu frowned, "Did the hospital use any effective medicine on him?"
The nurse shook her head, "No, I gave the same medicine to two other people, but it didn't work."
The other two people should be the little boy's mother and the diner who was bitten. After Lin Jiu asked, he got a positive answer from the little nurse.
Lin Jiu said: "You should know that he is most likely infected with some disease. Are you letting them stay in the ward like this without any protective measures?"
The young nurse just followed the hospital's arrangements and she didn't know much.
"There was no news of quarantine before, but the news came today. They will be sent away soon and receive unified treatment."
Lin Jiu: "Where to send it?"
The nurse said: "Nanhai, there are more people who are sick there, so they can be treated together."
Lin Jiu nodded. The hospital should know better than him how to prevent infection.
Lin Jiu didn't say much. He handed the ball to the little boy and went back.
He decided to take a trip to the South China Sea.
Lin Jiu arranged everything at the store, and that same day he was sent to the South China Sea by a helicopter of the "Special Security Department" as a consultant for Team Seven.
Of course, the helicopter was to transport supplies and also hand Lin Jiu over.
When the helicopter landed in the South China Sea, Si Xu was already waiting.
Seeing Lin Jiu, Si Xu walked over quickly, "Didn't you say you didn't need to come over? Why did you come over anyway?"
Lin Jiu lowered his voice and said, "If I don't come over, how are you going to use the super-intelligent pharmaceutical space?"
The pharmaceutical space is obtained by drawing a blind box and can only be placed in Lin Jiu's inventory. Only when Lin Jiu is there can Si Xu enter the pharmaceutical space.
Si Xu put his arm around Lin Jiu's shoulders and led him off the tarmac. "What does the Demon Hunting System say?"
Lin Jiu said angrily: "The system is too useless. It said that this kind of pest is a native creature of the Earth plane, but it doesn't know how to solve it."
"Really? Then call them out and ask them. Doesn't it claim that its civilization is superior to Earth's? How come it doesn't have a solution?"
Si Xu never completely believed what the Demon Hunting System said. This system seemed to have its own thoughts and it was very cunning.
Lin Jiu: "It has been upgraded. Now only basic functions can be used. The subsystems are not affected."
Si Xu was surprised and asked: "Is the transformation complete?"
Lin Jiu looked at him strangely. "It only costs more than 900,000 yuan to complete it. I bought you a high-level gene enhancer. After you use one, you can become a real demon spirit."
Si Xu sent Lin Jiu to the car and drove over.
There were only two of them in the car, so it was easier for them to talk.
Si Xu asked: "Why did the system upgrade suddenly?"
Lin Jiu: "It is said that the accumulated magic points have reached 1 million, which meets the upgrade requirements, so I upgraded."
Si Xu groaned, "Was it a system requirement, or did you trigger it accidentally?"
Lin Jiu looked at him, "The system is very eager to upgrade, what do you think of it?"
Si Xu said: "It's good that it's upgraded now. I've told you some things, which is equivalent to letting the system know."
Lin Jiu: “What?”
Si Xu: "Don't trust this demon hunting system too much. It is very purposeful. Everything revolves around energy, and it is very eager to get energy. I really want to know what the system wants to do with so much energy. Now that the system has begun to upgrade, we just have to wait and see what happens after the upgrade."
The system was indeed very eager to upgrade. Lin Jiu originally thought that this was the system's instinct, just like the food-protecting instinct of small animals, isn't it
It's useless to think more now. Lin Jiu can only wait.
Lin Jiu and Si Xu talked about the scene he saw in the hospital, especially the strange child.
Si Xu's face was solemn. "We also have the situation you described. Children wake up sooner than adults. They will wake up in about two to three days after infection, while adults need about five days."
Lin Jiu frowned, "Are you really awake?"
Si Xu shook his head. "It's still uncertain now. People who recover after being infected will have drastic changes in personality and slow reactions. They will become a completely different person. Most importantly, once they wake up, the bugs in their bodies will disappear."
Lin Jiu was surprised, "Did those pests die naturally?"
Si Xu: "It shouldn't be that simple."
Lin Jiu thought for a moment and said, "I want to see someone who has woken up."
Si Xu did not stop him and took Lin Jiu to a rehabilitation hospital in Nanhai, where all the infected people were placed aside.
When Si Xu brought Lin Jiu there, they happened to meet Lu Yu who came out, and this time even Shi Shuqing came with them.
Seeing Lin Jiu, Lu Yu joked: "I said that Captain Si was here, why didn't the consultant of Team 7 come with us? Isn't he here after all?"
Lin Jiu: “…”
Lin Jiu: "If you could be faster, why would you make me run all the way?"
Lu Yu spread his hands and sighed, "This is a bit tricky, I wonder if Boss Lin has any solution?"
Lin Jiu was surprised and asked, "You guys didn't do anything, so how can I do anything?"
Lu Yu looked at Lin Jiu, then at Si Xu, "What are you guys doing here in such a hurry?"
Si Xu: "Come and see the people who have woken up. Xiao Jiu also saw a child who had woken up in City A."
Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing both had unhappy expressions. Those who woke up were too weird.
Lin Jiu and Si Xu wanted to go and see, and Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing also went with them to see if there would be any discoveries.
Lin Jiu thought Si Xu would take him to the ward, but unexpectedly Si Xu took him directly to the monitoring room.
Looking at the people on the surveillance screen, some of them were sitting on hospital beds, their backs straight, staring in one direction motionlessly; some were standing at closed doorways, staring at the door motionlessly; and there was another person who was looking up at the surveillance camera with empty eyes, no one knew what he was looking at, the screen was full of his big face, it was a bit scary.
There was a room full of children. They each had a toy and played with it by themselves. They didn't talk or gather together.
In short, those who have woken up are not normal.
Lin Jiu stared at the surveillance screen, and suddenly moved closer to look at the big face on the screen. He suddenly pointed at the man's forehead.
"Did you see it? There was a green light in there just now."
Several people in the monitoring room: "..."
As soon as Lin Jiu saw their expressions, he knew they probably didn't see it.
Lin Jiu looked at Si Xu, "Did you see it?"
Si Xu: “No.”
When in the hospital, Lin Jiu also saw a green light between Taotao's eyebrows. He thought he had seen it wrong at that time, but now he saw it again. Lin Jiu did not think he had seen it wrong.
Lin Jiu thought carefully, and when he looked again, the big face on the surveillance screen had moved away, his ward door was opened, and someone was talking to him.
Lin Jiu suddenly had a guess.
Lin Jiu: "I want to go to the ward to see them."
Si Xu, Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing all went with them.
They don't let anyone get close to those sober people easily. Their condition is very wrong and I don't know if they are aggressive... Although they have been surprisingly quiet so far, we still have to be on guard.
Lin Jiu chose a ward. The person in the ward was the man who was sitting motionless on the bed. Lin Jiu leaned over the small window on the door and looked inside. He stared at the man's brows and raised his hand to knock on the door.
The person inside did not respond, so Lin Jiu continued to knock. A green light flashed between the man's eyebrows again. The person inside seemed to come back to his senses after being in a daze, looked at the door, and then walked over to open it.
Lin Jiu took a step back and winked at the three people behind him.
Three people:
What do you mean? What do you want to do
The door of the ward was opened, and the person inside looked at Lin Jiu blankly.
Lin Jiu stared at the center of his brows, "Hello, can we chat?"
The man's forehead flashed green again, and an expression appeared on his wooden face. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Jiu decisively took action and grabbed the green light between the man's eyebrows. It seemed that Lin Jiu had pulled something, and some root-like filaments were pulled out from the man's forehead...
“Ahhh!!!!”
The man suddenly screamed, pushed Lin Jiu away, and pounced on him with a ferocious face. A long leg kicked over from the side, and the mad man was kicked back to the ward. Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing quickly closed the door of the ward, and there were shrill screams and banging sounds of doors coming from inside. It was very crazy!
Lu Yu was just about to ask Lin Jiu why that guy suddenly went crazy, but when he turned around, he saw Lin Jiu holding up his hand, looking at the green liquid on his fingers with horror.
Lin Jiu: “…”
Aaaaahhh!!!!!
Bugs! ! ! ! ! !
pia!
He shook his finger reflexively, dropping the green liquid on the ground.
Lin Jiu took several steps back, staring at the green liquid on the ground.
Si Xu grabbed Lin Jiu's hand, and the disinfectant on the wall had been poured onto Lin Jiu's hand.
Lin Jiu had just recovered from the shock.
Si Xu was also frightened and took Lin Jiu's hand to check it carefully.
Lin Jiu's scalp was about to explode, "Is that a disease or insect?!"
Lu Yu and Shi Shuqing almost died on the spot!
What kind of ruthless person is he, who actually dares to catch the bugs with his hands? Is he afraid of being infected? !
No! How on earth did Lin Jiu catch the pests with his bare hands? !
There was too much noise, so medical staff rushed over. Si Xu asked them to collect the green liquid on the ground for testing, as it might really be a disease or insect, so they should be careful.
Lin Jiu was dragged by Si Xu to have a full body check-up, fearing that he might be infected.
The crazy person in the ward was still banging on the door desperately, like a madman.
Over the past few days, medical staff have tried many ways to test those who have regained consciousness. They are all very gentle. If their behavior had not been so strange, the medical staff would have thought they were safe and harmless.
As a result, when Lin Jiu arrived, all the peace was broken!
