Jiang Le cleaned up the wounds for Lu Zhan with shaking hands, while the others were also helping with serious expressions.
âWhat should we do? Do we need to send him to the hospital?â
âIf Brother Zhan could go to the hospital, he would have long called 911.â
âDid Brother Zhan offend someone big?â
The several tough guys were almost crying. It took them a lot of effort to clean up all the wounds on Lu Zhan.
âWill it be infected?â
âI donât know...â
The room turned quiet.
The boys looked at each silently. They could not forget what they had seen when they came in.
Shocking, and horrifying...
Ming Shu leaned against the window and looked down through the gap in the curtain.
She suddenly said, âIâll go out for a sec.â
âWhere are you going?â
âIâm hungry, Iâll go buy something to eat.â Ming Shu walked outside. âYou should pay attention to his temperature. If heâs feverish, just call 911, you canât save him with your poor techniques.â
Ming Shuâs calm made the boys feel ashamed of their inferiority.
They had been almost too frightened to know to do nothing just now. It was her who had told them what to do.
âOh oh...â
Ming Shu left the room, and the boys found a place to sit down separately.
Then they had a chance to look around. Many things in the room were covered with white cloth and a thick layer of dust. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.
Without knowing how long had passed, Lu Zhan let out a small noise.
âBrother Zhan?â
âBrother Zhan, how are you feeling?â
Lu Zhanâs vision blurred. It took him a while to see clearly the people before him.
Several faces crowded in front of him.
âWhy are you all here?â Didnât he only ask Jiang Le to come?
But on second thought, he predicted this situation the minute he called, because after all these guys were like in one jumpsuit.
So Lu Zhan wasnât very surprised.
âBrother Zhan, what happened to you? Why are you injured with so many wounds? I almost thought you were dead. Do you need to go to the hospital?â
âNo hospital.â Lu Zhan shook his head. âYouâre all here, has anyone else come?â
âWell... Yinyin came, too. She went to buy food.â
Lu Zhan: â...â
After a while, Ming Shu came back with a bag of snacks. She carried a rusty iron bar in her hand and put it on the table with the snacks.
âThere are a lot of stray dogs around here.â
Lu Zhan stared at Ming Shu and answered âyesâ a long time later.
In the face of many questions, Lu Zhan chose some unimportant ones and answered them.
Why was he wounded like this? He said he got into a fight and the other party brought too many people.
Lu Zhan said he was a little hungry and asked the four to go get some food. No one had lived here for a long time, and most stuff in the room didnât work. The four began to discuss on buying something from convenient stores.
Only Ming Shu was left in the room with Lu Zhan. The door was open and the discussion from outside could be heard.
Ming Shu took her snacks and sat opposite Lu Zhan. âDid you steal the supernatural power crystal?â
âCough... cough cough...â Lu Zhan choked. The cough pulled the wound on his body and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Lu Zhan looked at Ming Shu with a complicated expression. âHow did you know?â
Ming Shu answered in a casual tone, âI just gave it a shot.â
Lu Zhan: âGave it a shot? And you hit the truth?â
Ming Shu nodded and praised herself. âIt proves that Iâm very powerful.â
It was not hard to guess, actually. The biggest thing in the supernatural power world was the supernatural power crystal. The wounds on Lu Zhan didnât come from a regular fight.
They were caused by different supernatural powers.
There was nothing wrong for her to make such a guess.
Lu Zhan was silent for a long time. âSince you know, what will you do? Will you tell the Supernatural Power Administration or do you want to grab the supernatural power crystal yourself?â
Relying on his present state, it was actually not optimistic for him either way.
Lu Zhan clenched his hand slightly on the side of his body. Jiang Le and the other threeâs yelling outside added some vitality to the empty room.
A hint of dim light flashed across Lu Zhanâs eyes. He loosened his hand a little.
The girlâs smiling voice sounded. âI donât have supernatural powers, why should I grab it? As for the Administration, I have nothing to do with them, why should I tell them? They wonât treat me with snacks...â
Lu Zhan was startled in his heart and fully loosened his grip.
âSpeaking of which, the stray dogs down there were troublesome, you need to pay me for getting rid of them for you.â
Lu Zhan rested his eyes on the iron bar she put on the table.
If he didnât pay... Would she beat him to death with this iron bar?
Lu Zhan said, âI owe you one.â
Although he didnât know what she was planning, one more friend was better than one more enemy to him now.
Ming Shu got up and went outside. When she reached the door, she turned back. âHave you ever thought that your call might not get them out of here today?â
Lu Zhan didnât answer.
The girl walked out the door. Lu Zhan silently looked at some floating point in the void.
The sound from outside came in intermittently.
âYinyin... Leave that! I just bought it!â
âThere are plenty of them, Iâll just have a little.â
âYouâve eaten a half, do you call that a little? Youâre a girl, donât eat too much!â
âBut I donât get fat.â
âYou should be thankful that weâre boys, otherwise youâd be attacked!â
...
Ming Shu soon heard that the Administration had found the supernatural power crystalâs whereabouts.
It was in the hand of a supernatural power organization.
This supernatural power organization was exactly the one that had ordered Yi Jiaojiao before.
Ming Shu was a little confused. Wasnât the supernatural power crystal in Lu Zhanâs hands?
How come it was in the hand of a supernatural power organization?
Was Lu Zhan a person from that organization?
If so, it seemed to make sense why he appeared at Mountain and Sea Gang... He was a spy!
But since they asked Lu Zhan to steal it, why did they use Yi Jiaojiao... to divert attention?
Ming Shu imagined a big play in her mind.
The head of this organization was quite smart!
âThis Black Panther organization is so terrible. Their crimes canât be listed with several papers. Now they have the supernatural power crystal, who knows what they will do with it.â
Zhuang Mengmeng cooked while complaining to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu leaned against the door; she didnât care much about the supernatural power organizationâs crimes.
âWhat did you say was that organizationâs name?â
âBlack Panther. What a stain on the creature!â
Zhuang Mengmeng put in a spoonful of salt angrily.
âThis is so irritating. The key is we donât even know where they are, and if they use the supernatural power crystal to do something...â
Ming Shu looked down at her phone and happened to miss the salt Zhuang Mengmeng had put in the food out of anger.
She opened a chat column and looked at the last sentence:
[Big Brother: Welcome to join us, we of Black Panther like people of high capability.]
She didnât remember it wrong. The big brother was from Black Panther.
...
At the table. Ming Shu ate one mouthful of food and spat it out immediately. Zhuang Mengmeng also spat it out.
Zhuang Mengmeng looked at Ming Shu. â...It seems... Iâve put too much salt.â
âYes, very sure.â
Zhuang Mengmeng: â...â
Yu Shen got downstairs and saw the two sitting around a dish. He was unhappy.
Didnât Zhuang Mengmeng have her own home?
Why did she have to appear here!
âBrother Yu Shen.â Ming Shu suddenly looked up and called him.
Yu Shen walked over.
Ming Shu pushed the whole plate to him, smiling. âBrother Yu Shen, have this.â
Yu Shen: â...â
Although he disliked Zhuang Mengmeng, the food Zhuang Mengmeng cooked could indeed inspire his appetite.
This dish looked good and smelled good, without any strangeness.
But she acted weirdly kind...
She never shared with him anything edible before.
There must be something wrong!
Yu Shen reached out and touched her head. âSince Yinyin likes it, eat it all, Iâm not hungry yet. Grandpa is waiting for me in the medicine room, Iâll go up first.â
Yu Shen bent down and kissed Ming Shuâs lips, then turned around to walk upstairs.
