The Extraordinary Urban God of Medicine-Chapter 274 - : Losing Soul

Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Losing Soul

After all, it was the kind-hearted “Zhong Hui” from our college days who fell ill, and it’s not just a common illness. It’s said she has turned into a “vegetable”.

Hence, the class reunion could not proceed as planned. Everyone spontaneously organized a visit to Zhong Hui’s house.

The parking lot below the Shujiang Spring Entertainment City.

Most classmates drove their own cars to get there, with Huang Xiaolong bringing Chu Tingting in a BYD F3.

“Damn! Show-off!” Yang Kai grumbled as he popped open his Cayenne’s door, eyeing Huang Xiaolong’s car with a glum expression.

“I say, Yang Kai, are you also going to Zhong Hui’s house?”, a bespectacled male classmate asked, riding in Yang Kai’s car.

“Yes! Why wouldn’t I?”, Yang Kai huffily responded. “That guy bragged so much, claiming he could even cure a vegetable. I’ll be damned if I’m not there to watch how he does it! I bet Tingting was deceived by his outlandish sweet talk. Tonight, I will expose his true, ugly face!”

In his subconscious mind, Yang Kai also wanted to figure out the cause of his own overeating and overdrinking. Ever since they met again, Huang Xiaolong had identified his symptoms. He felt that Huang Xiaolong might be able to treat him. However, there was no chance he would kneel and beg Huang Xiaolong to hit him!

Several cars parked directly under Zhong Hui’s house.

This was an old residential area with dim lights. Unmanaged vegetation made walking inside the area haunting. There were occasional wild cats and dogs, jumping out from the bushes, which could startle anyone.

Zhong Hui’s house was on the 7th floor of an old building.

A group of classmates climbed the stairs and knocked on the door.

Shortly after, the door opened. A middle-aged woman with a worried expression peeked out from the well-lit house.

“Auntie!” Tingting directly called. “Auntie, do you still remember me?”

“Ah? Is this… Tingting! Oh, Tingting, you have become more beautiful…” The middle-aged woman immediately recognized Tingting, and then glanced at the people behind Tingting – there were several people she knew. “You are all Hui’s classmates… Are you here to… visit Hui?”

“Yes, auntie, we are here to visit Zhong Hui.” Chu Tingting hurriedly replied. “Where is… where is Zhong Hui?”

“Ah” The middle-aged woman sighed heavily, tears silently rolling down her cheeks. “Hui… She… she’s in the bedroom… come in.”

A group of people entered the house.

Huang Xiaolong first took a look around the house.

The house was approximately 120 square meters, a three-room and two-hall structure.

It’s said that Zhong Hui lost her father early, so she and her mother lived here together.

There was no negative energy in the house, no hint of anything dirty or unclean.

“Little Long, go quickly to the bedroom and see Zhong Hui.” Chu Tingting was very anxious, she took the initiative to hold Huang Xiaolong’s hand and started walking towards the bedroom.

“Let’s go, let’s see”, Yang Kai slightly pulled up the corner of his mouth, leading the other classmates into the bedroom too.

In the bedroom, there was a delicate-looking, fair-skinned woman lying on a bed. She was about the same age as Chu Tingting, and could also be considered quite attractive.

This woman was Chu Tingting’s close friend from her college days, “Zhong Hui”.

At this moment, Zhong Hui looked pale and a little worn-out, lying there unconscious, with her eyes closed as if she was asleep.

“Zhong Hui Hui Hui It’s me, Tingting, I came to see you!” Chu Tingting quickly squatted beside the bed, shouting in Zhong Hui’s ear.

Several other classmates also began to call out animatedly.

However, Zhong Hui on the bed was like the sleeping beauty under a witch’s spell, irrespective of how others urged her, she didn’t respond.

“It’s…it’s no use…” the middle-aged woman said, wiping away tears. “I call her hundreds of times each day, but…I can’t wake her…the doctor said…the doctor said…there’s a high probability…a high probability she’s…brain-dead…Oh, my poor daughter!!!”

Brain-dead, doesn’t that mean vegetative?

Zhong Hui’s life has indeed been difficult, with her father dying when she was young, and now in her radiant twenties, she’s fallen victim to this condition, trapped between life and death. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Many classmates were wiping away tears in the gloomy atmosphere of the room, feeling uneasy.

“Little Long! Little Long! Quickly take a look!” Chu Tingting hastily stood up and grasped Huang Xiaolong’s hand, tears staining her delicate face.

In the bedroom, citing their attention, everyone, including Zhong Hui’s mother, turned their eyes towards Huang Xiaolong.

“Umm Tingting, I’ve already looked.” Huang Xiaolong replied seriously. “Auntie——”

He looked towards Zhong Hui’s mother, “A few days ago, did your daughter start to exhibit symptoms like fever, dizziness, an overheated mind, loss of appetite, distraction, and inattentiveness?”

“Huh…young man, how…how did you know?” Zhong Hui’s mother’s eyes lit up slightly, “Yes yes yes, I thought she had caught a cold at that time, and I took her to the hospital for IV fluids. Those days, she was unfocused all the time, didn’t notice traffic signals while walking on the street, she almost got hit by a car.”

After a pause, Zhong Hui’s mother asked shakily. “Young man…are…are you a medical student?”

Huang Xiaolong nodded with a smile. “Well…I guess I can be considered a medical student…but Auntie, your daughter’s current condition cannot be solved by a doctor because she’s not ill.”

Not ill?

“Pfft” Suddenly, Yang Kai burst into laughter. “Wow, not ill? The doctors in the big hospital have diagnosed her as brain-dead, or in other words, vegetative. You’re randomly blabbering that she is not ill. If she isn’t ill, why is she unconscious and not responding when called?”

“You again? I advise you to shut up.” Huang Xiaolong looked at Yang Kai disdainfully, “I don’t want to argue with you now. Later on, when you’re kneeling on the ground begging to be beaten by me, I will severely punish you!”

“Damn you!” Yang Kai flew into a rage.

Huang Xiaolong ignored Yang Kai and turned to Chu Tingting, “Tingting, she has lost her soul.”

“Lost her soul?” Chu Tingting was shocked.

The bedroom fell into silence.

“Yes, she’s lost a spirit and a soul.” Huang Xiaolong said matter-of-factly. “Human soul consists of ‘three spirits and seven souls’. When a person falls ill, the three spirits become weak. Losing one spirit can make one crazy, losing two ensures death, and if all three spirits are scattered, even death can’t bring salvation. So, what about losing one spirit and one soul?”

Everybody instinctively pricked up their ears to listen to Huang Xiaolong.

“When a person loses one spirit and one soul, they don’t die immediately. At first, they become extremely confused, dizzy, feel overheated, lose appetite, and become distracted …then, they fall into a deep sleep that even shouting cannot rouse them from.” Huang Xiaolong looked at Zhong Hui on the hospital bed, “With her current state, even if life is maintained by IV fluids, she’ll eventually die given enough time…probably she’s got a month to live.”

“Little Long, then…then what should we do?” Chu Tingting was extremely anxious.

“It’s simple, we need to find the lost spirits and souls.” Huang Xiaolong said dismissively with a smile. “Leave this task to me.”

“Hahahahahahahahah” Suddenly, Yang Kai burst out in maniacal laughter. “I thought it might be something serious! Turns out, it’s about supernatural beliefs! Hahahaha—-I’m dying of laughter! You’re deceiving people with fallacious talk!”

“Heh heh heh” Huang Xiaolong laughed derisively, looking at Yang Kai, “One may choose not to believe in these things, but must always have an awe for them. Otherwise, if one gets involved with them, no one can save you.”
