"Holly, hurry up, um, come to the Central Hospital."
Hospital? Holly suddenly thought of something. The old people from the Demon Enforcement Bureau had said that what they feared most was not monsters, but sudden phone calls from relatives and friends from the hospital.
It would be fine if the relative made the call himself, but if someone else made the call for him, that would be the scariest thing...
"Okay! I'll come right away!"
She immediately turned around, ran out of the house and took a taxi.
When she arrived at the hospital, Holly immediately asked the front desk and soon learned the ward where her mother was, so she ran over anxiously.
Don't worry, Holly immediately saw the doctor and father in the ward.
Her father is also a half-orc, but he uses magic to disguise himself and looks like an ordinary middle-aged man.
"Please rest assured, the patient. The patient's condition is now stable. It might have been dangerous if he had not been delivered in time, but now there is no need to worry anymore. Fortunately, he was delivered early."
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
The father held the doctor's hand, his face full of gratitude, and cried bitterly.
When he saw Holly, he immediately said excitedly: "Holly, it's really thanks to your friend that I found out that your mother collapsed at home. Really, thank you so much."
Holly, who was relieved, was stunned. Was it my friend who found out about her mother
who
"You are finally here. Don't worry, your mother's condition is stable."
Holly turned her head and saw Miss Witch with smiling eyes. Tears immediately filled her eyes, and she hugged her with a cry.
"Thank you, thank you, I, I just, I didn't know what to do just now."
As she spoke, tears fell unsatisfactorily.
The doctor left beforehand. Qin Subai hugged Holly tightly with a gentle expression, stroked her head and said, "Actually, you don't have to thank me, my cute little rabbit."
"Because we are friends."
Chapter 136: The Witch’s Turn
Holly sat on a chair in the ward, looking at her mother's sleeping face, with unspeakable worry in her eyes.
My mother is almost forty years old. For half-orcs, physical functions will decline significantly starting from this age, and it is normal to get sick.
elderly.
Although she had already expected her short lifespan and thought she could think about it, when this moment actually arrived, she still felt pain like never before.
At the same time there is a great... fear and despair.
Even if I can survive this time, there are still a few more years to go...
Why, why are we not pure-blooded humans, even pure-blooded orcs? In that case, we can live longer...
I want to get married as soon as I reach adulthood, but it is very difficult to find a husband. Many people will immediately shy away when they hear that they are half-orcs during a blind date.
Therefore, the number of half-orcs is very rare, and Weiwei can only stay in groups with each other for warmth.
Holly looked out the window at the gradually dissipating clouds and subconsciously clenched her hands. The indescribable force even caused the chair beneath her to shake slightly.
Her mood is really complicated.
Holly was grateful to Miss Witch as never before, and finally understood why so many people in the bureau were friends with her.
"Drink some."
Qin Subai walked in, holding a bottle of drink and handed it to Holly calmly. She sat next to him without speaking for a long time.
"Thanks."
Holly thanked her and took the drink, wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Actually, I know that there are some advanced alchemical potions that can prolong natural life." Qin Subai suddenly said.
Holly was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly.
Then she lowered her head and said calmly: "But those medicines are very expensive, and it is difficult for ordinary people to buy them... I know that the most famous alchemy family selling this medicine is the richest family in Kongmeng. Yes, the price is horribly expensive.”
Qin Subai pinched her chin and hesitated for a long time. Holly was a little surprised that she didn't say what she was hesitating for so long.
Miss Witch finally muttered: "Actually, I happen to know a batch of goods that are much cheaper. Well, the cost of these life-extending drugs is not high. It's just that the sellers are deliberately raising the prices. They control the technology carefully after monopolizing the technology. Yield."
Holly was confused: "But no matter how cheap it is, it's not something we can afford, right? I'm not a nobleman at all."
Qin Subai came close to Holly's ear and whispered:
"Hey, it's a stolen item that's much cheaper than the original price. There's been news circulating on the black market recently."
After hearing this, Holly's bunny ears twitched and she looked unhappy.
"This kind of thing... Why do you want to tell me? It's not legal."
Qin Subai shook his head and said: "Forget it, forget it, just pretend I didn't say it. In fact, even if you inject that kind of alchemy potion, it can only increase your natural life span by seven or eight years at most."
The rabbit ears moved again.
Qin Subai continued: "None of the five major families in Chenhai use this kind of cheap and cheap medicine. They only use it for their pet dogs and some servants."
"They bought such precious medicine for pet dogs?"
Holly was stunned, with a look of disbelief on her face.
Qin Subai asked in confusion: "Well, what's wrong? This is a legal act."
"nothing... ... "
Holly lowered her head, silent, and her ears drooped.
Qin Subai stayed with Holly in the hospital all night.
The next day, colleagues from Holly's parents and Bai Yan also came one after another.
Bai Yan still didn't want to deal with Qin Subai, and the latter didn't seem to want to talk to him. Instead, he turned a blind eye and didn't even look at him.
The unusual attitude made Bai Yan feel a little confused.
He saw Holly standing in the ward with a thoughtful look on her face, and the captain was comforting her.
After a while, Bai Yan also stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, it will be fine."
Holly just looked at him, nodded slightly, and tried her best to smile.
"Um."
Several people stayed in the ward for a while, looking at the gift and fruit baskets. Holly began to peel oranges for her father who was silent beside him.
"Lean, come with me, okay? I have something to tell you."
Qin Subai is different from others. She has only called "Big Guy" Lien, which is his real name. She has never called "Big Guy" once.
"Um."
The big guy Ryan nodded and followed out in confusion.
Qin Subai and Li En came to a deserted corner before they stopped, then took out a photo and handed it over.
After reading it, the big guy Li En was stunned.
"This should be important to you."
The photo showed a beautiful girl who had just entered junior high school, smiling happily and surrounded by her classmates.
Qin Subai said silently: "She is the child of the victim family. Theoretically, it is difficult to find her even with prophecy spells, but fortunately, my luck is relatively good."
"She..." The big man hesitated to speak.
Qin Subai nodded and said: "Well, as you can see, she is living very well now. She has completely forgotten everything. She is extremely lucky to have a good new home."
The big man stayed there for a long time, as if thinking of many things, and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
He was trembling all over, tears kept flowing from his eyes, and his voice was filled with regret for the past.
"At that time, I listened to my friends and participated in a high-risk investment. After all the money I had worked hard to earn my whole life was defrauded by shameless people, I began to feel that this society was very unfair every day. A year or two have passed, and there has been an inexplicable anger building up in my heart."
Qin Subai listened silently and said nothing.
"Then, suddenly one day, I, who was living in hatred, awakened to the terrible power of evil. Perhaps this was the feedback of anger."
The big man was silent, and ugly and disgusting flesh sprouts appeared on his arms, like tentacles of flesh and blood.
"I quickly got the evil idea of robbing someone."
"Later, two cultists found me. I didn't know they were cultists at the time, but after we hit it off, we broke into the villa with them... I thought they just wanted to steal money. , as a result, what they want is the emotion of 'desperation' that is the raw material of the ritual."
"And I am their ready scapegoat."
He was silent for a long time.
"The girl's parents were brutally murdered by them, and she was tortured by those two beasts... I, who was guarding the door outside, heard the screams and ran in... "
"I can't forget her eyes, all the time, all the time..."
The next moment, Lien saw a beautiful face full of tenderness, and the witch looked at him with tears in her eyes.
Qin Subai squatted down and said in an extremely soft voice: "I'm sorry, if you are a truly gentle person, I will comfort you very gently, enlighten you, and help you... But I will only do it because of your experience. And feel pain."
"Lean, you can still continue to atone for your sins, but please let go of the stone in your heart."
Lean stayed for a long time.
Qin Subai took a deep breath and said firmly: "I don't want to say that it's not your fault, but you also caught the real culprit afterwards, and you voluntarily came to the Demon Enforcement Bureau to surrender, and even decided to use this life to repent. ... But even the ruthless Judgment Division has let you live, and no one else is qualified to judge you, not even yourself."
Tears flowed uncontrollably from Rean's eyes.
"You don't understand. They said that there is something important in my body that will be useful to the Night Watch at critical moments. This is the most important reason why I can escape trial."
"But thank you anyway... I just want to know now, what can I do to repay you?"
"Of course."
Qin Subai smiled and began to ask for reward without hesitation.
"What I want in return is, please tell me seriously, the truest situation about the 'Black Vulture'... That level of sleepiness is a curse, right?"
He sighed.
"Her problems with the captain cannot be solved, not even by the 'Emperor'."
The big guy Li En sighed and suddenly asked: "Why are you so interested in our affairs? I really don't understand."
"Because we are companions, that's enough."
Qin Subai calmly murmured to himself: "But it seems that Team 12 is more like an 'isolation room' than a 'problem children's club'... Various hidden dangers that cannot be eliminated are What?"
"I'll tell you about them..."
After a while, Qin Subai came out of the bathroom after washing her hands, and suddenly found Bai Yan standing at the door playing with his mobile phone.
"Hey, why are you blocking me this time? But don't you have the guts to come in and block me?"
She smiled.
Bai Yan said calmly: "You seem to be very interested in everyone's personal situation."
"Because I am very enthusiastic. Everyone knows this, right?"
Qin Subai suddenly pressed forward again, but Bai Yan did not retreat at all as usual, and smelled the fragrance without ceremony.
She stared at this man's face for a long time, and suddenly said impatiently:
"Well, are you thinking in your mind, 'It must be acting,' this guy named Qin must be hiding a terrible monster deep in his heart!"
Bai Yan silently turned on the "spiritual power", but could not detect anything.
The Witch's "Recognition" is one of the few abilities that has a counter-effect, but it must be used actively, which shows that she is full of vigilance at the moment.
Qin Subai stretched out her hand and pinched her face, pouted and said:
"Okay, I admit it. This is acting. Are you satisfied now?"
Bai Yan remained silent.
Qin Subai continued: "If there is nothing else, I am going to leave, or do you want to push me into which cubicle in the women's toilet, this or that?"
"boring."
