Chapter 214 Pathology
Chapter 214 Pathology
Amidst the brightly lit banquet, a black wolf suddenly appears, layers of tree shadows emerge, the crowd panics, and people are swallowed by ice fissures.
The person holding the recording equipment was startled. As the video flipped, it inadvertently swung around, capturing Mikhail's face clearly. His last words were also clearly captioned.
"Boy, do not approach the treasure guarded by the evil dragon."
Such childish and cheesy remarks, and the person who made the video has a wicked sense of humor, so they specially used red backgrounds and black borders to highlight them, instantly maximizing the anime and manga vibe.
In the online meeting room, a few younger superhumans tried hard to keep their mouths shut, afraid that they might burst out laughing.
"Ahem." He Feiquan cleared his throat, tapped his finger, and a document appeared on the screen: "Mikhail, disciple of Valery, a level 5 ice-type ability user from the Russian Bear Country, and a level 4 ice-type ability user. He represents the Russian Bear Country in this level 4 competition."
Chu Deng stared blankly at the photo in the document, while the gray-haired, blue-eyed youth laughed arrogantly.
After a moment, Chu Deng spoke, "Is it my turn to speak?"
“Okay,” He Feiquan nodded.
Chu Deng's gaze swept over everyone in the conference room, but he couldn't make out their faces. Many of the names on their business cards were familiar faces.
"Many people know me, but many are unhappy that I'm suddenly here. We don't need to discuss the voting; I want one of the two spots." Chu Deng paused, then looked at He Feiquan. "For those with superpowers, strength is paramount. How about the three of us have a competition? You can arrange it online or offline, and let me know afterward."
After saying that, Chu Deng logged off immediately, ignoring the reactions of everyone at the meeting, and started knocking on Jiang Guoqiang's phone to ask about Pei Hanxing.
Jiang Guoqiang didn't mince words. It seemed he had been waiting for Chu Deng to ask. He first sent Chu Deng an address before explaining, "I just arrived in Beijing three days ago and am still undergoing treatment. I sent it to your personal terminal once before."
To prevent the optical computer from being located, Chu Deng damaged it directly. He had just replaced it with a new one, but coincidentally, some data was lost, so he didn't see the message.
Chu Deng put aside the unknown enemy cutting off her communications and the Level 4 competition; all she wanted to do now was confirm Pei Hanxing's safety, so she had someone drive her to the address Jiang Guoqiang had sent.
The place was extremely remote and a military stronghold, so cars couldn't drive in directly. Chu Deng's arrival had been notified in advance, and he had the authority to enter, and had undergone a check.
The terrain inside was extremely complex, with dense shadows of trees. Chu Deng, being well-versed in the arts, realized that this was the work of a high-level wood-type ability user. He suppressed his urge to burn everything down to find his way and patiently made his way forward little by little.
What should have been a short walk took Chu Deng a full ten minutes to get out. Fortunately, Pei Hanxing's recuperation room was on the first floor, and Chu Deng saw it as soon as she came out of the woods.
The room's window faced the woods, but the curtains were drawn. Chu Deng pursed her lips and gradually slowed her pace.
"Is this a family visit in ward 103?" A nurse who happened to be making rounds saw Chu Deng, registered her first, and gave her a few more instructions.
"The patient in room 103 has woken up, but is not very emotional. Family members should try not to agitate the patient."
Chu Deng opened her mouth, then, recalling the scene she had inadvertently witnessed, lowered her voice and asked, "Emotionally unstable?"
"Due to special circumstances, the patient has developed some lesions and is reluctant to see people," the nurse said. "Let's try to minimize physical contact and wait for the patient to gradually adapt."
