Chapter 140: Daily Visits to the Patient (End)
Lu Ren finally sent Zhu Yan away with many thanks, but the bloody horn was still on the bedside . Lu Ren didn't dare to touch it for the time being, and was staring at the bloody plastic bag to prepare himself mentally.
However, before Lu Ren was ready, there was another knock on the door. Lu Ren looked towards the door and saw a familiar face - it was Bifang from the first combat group.
Lu Ren and Bifang barely exchanged a few words, but he was deeply impressed by Bifang. Because among the rough men in the Immigrant Household Survey Bureau, Bifang stood out as an excellent beauty expert.
Bifang has a very masculine appearance and a strong body. He always wears a blue-gray three-piece suit, which looks trendy and abstinent. But in contrast to his low-key and serious dress, he wears bright eye makeup on his eyes - turquoise eyeshadow and bright red eyeliner, which is bold and strange.
The superposition of contradictory elements on Bifang unexpectedly makes it appear very harmonious.
Bifang was holding a heatable lunch box in his hand. The lunch box looked as big as a washbasin, and I didn’t know if it could be put into the microwave.
Lu Ren saw clearly that when he cast his gaze towards Bifang, he found that Bifang was not looking at him, but was looking thoughtfully at the Gu Diao horn that Zhu Yan had placed on the bedside table. Realizing that Lu Ren was looking at him, Bifang raised his eyes again and showed a relatively kind smile.
Lu Ren then understood: Bifang and Zhu Yan had come to see him at the same time.
Bifang spoke in a gentle manner. He walked to Lu Ren's bedside and said kindly, "I heard you were injured, so I came to see you." He behaved very normally, just like an ordinary visitor. Lu Ren naturally said to him politely, "Thank you, thank you for your trouble."
Bifang raised the lunch box in his hand and gestured to Lu Ren, "I don't know where you are injured, so I don't know what to give you. It just so happened that our group caught a violent and resistant Gu Diao yesterday, and I was given two claws. My wife specially braised the Gu Diao claws for you last night, you should eat more to replenish your body."
The huge lunch box was stuffed into Lu Ren's hands without any room for negotiation.
As Bifang walked out, he said to Lu Ren, "Then I won't bother you any more. I sneaked out during working hours and I have to hurry back." He was in a hurry and disappeared in a flash.
Lu Ren picked up the lunch box with some confusion, and then stared at its plastic base for a while.
However, before Lu Ren could see clearly what the Gu Diao's claws looked like, the knocks on the door began to sound again.
An hour had passed since the last visitor left, and finally there was no more knocking on the door. Lu Ren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There are so many souvenirs on the bedside table that there is no room for them anymore, and many of them are already piled on the floor. If Lu Ren is not afraid of getting dirty and has patience, he will find that these piled souvenirs can eventually be pieced together to form a complete Gu sculpture.
The tastes of the combat group in giving gifts were surprisingly consistent, and they all sent yesterday's prisoners to the patients' dining tables.
Of course, Lu Ren didn't notice this. He just looked at the pile of souvenirs and muttered, "That's weird."
Whether it was Bifang, Zhu Yan, or even the other members of the combat group, they had chatted with Lu Ren no more than ten times over the years. Who would have known that they would all come out in full force as soon as Lu Ren was injured? This really left Lu Ren puzzled.
"Could it be?!" A bad thought appeared in Lu Ren's mind, "Is my life coming to an end?"
The more Lu Ren thought about it, the more likely it seemed. These past two days, he asked Nurse Xiaojia when he could be discharged from the hospital. Nurse Xiaojia always answered him, "Just stay here and don't think about being discharged ." The same answer never changed. After a long time, it did seem a bit suspicious.
The more Lu Ren thought about it, the more scared he became, and sweat broke out on his forehead.
At this moment, a deep male voice sounded above his head: "Aren."
Lu Ren raised his head in surprise, and then saw a very hateful face - it was Bian Cheng.
Lu Ren was startled at first, then he remembered the immoral things this man had done and became angry. Although Bian Cheng was standing and he was sitting, he looked a lot weaker, but Lu Ren stiffened his neck and asked, "How dare you come?!"
Bian Cheng, however, looked indifferent: "Why shouldn't I come?"
Lu Ren was so angry that his eyes turned red: "You almost killed me!"
After hearing this, Bian Cheng lowered his head and looked him over carefully, then smiled again: "You look rosy, eat well, sleep well, and don't look like you're dying. Why do you say you're going to die for no reason?"
After hearing this, Lu Ren was stunned for a moment. No signs of death? That means he is indeed fine. He looked up at Bian Cheng's expression, which did not seem fake. As the Lord of the Underworld in the Sixth Palace, Bian Cheng could decide life and death with a single word. Since he said that Lu Ren would not die, Lu Ren would naturally not die.
Although there was a powerful enemy at the moment, this realization still made Lu Ren feel relieved, and his tone towards Bian Cheng was not as aggressive as before: "What are you doing here?"
Even if Bian Cheng is lawless, it is impossible for him to snatch patients from the 18th Hospital.
Bian Cheng said, "I'm here to pay you. I promised you that if you cover for me for one day, I'll give you a month of life. Have you forgotten?"
Only a fool would refuse the life that is right in front of him. Besides, this is what Lu Ren deserves, and it doesn't even include his mental damages.
"Bring it here."
"Okay then." Bian Cheng stretched out his index finger and placed it on Lu Ren's forehead. Then he closed his eyes, and a faint blue light flashed from his fingertips. The light was icy and piercing, making people feel fear unconsciously.
For some reason, the process of giving away life was a bit long. Lu Ren maintained the same posture for a long time, causing his neck to become stiff and sore, but Bian Cheng still closed his eyes with a mystical expression on his face.
Lu Ren was about to ask Bian Cheng if he was okay: "You..."
As soon as he said this, a ball of fire flew in from outside the ward and went straight towards Bian Cheng's face.
Although Bian Cheng had his eyes closed, he reacted quickly. He quickly withdrew his hand, avoiding the flames, and stood steadily by the window, saying, "Didn't we sign a friendly agreement? Why is Lord Si Yuan still so unfriendly?"
Lu Ren turned around and saw Si Yuan walking in from the door.
“Since you know that you have concluded a friendly agreement, you should understand that attacking people from the outside Hukou Investigation Bureau is a violation of the agreement.”
"I'm just paying for Lu Ren's lifespan."
"Since when did the Lord of Hell need to be present in person to control lifespans? I remember there is something in the Nine Nether Realm—" Si Yuan paused, then continued in a cold tone, "The Book of Life and Death."
"Okay, I admit it." Bian Cheng didn't feel guilty at all for being caught red-handed. He just shrugged indifferently and said, "I'm definitely not giving life."
Originally, Bian Cheng and Si Yuan were arguing with each other, and Lu Ren couldn't understand anything. He could only sit on the bed and babbled. However, when Bian Cheng said the last sentence, Lu Ren almost jumped up from the bed.
He quickly distanced himself from Bian Cheng and stood behind Si Yuan.
Lu Ren said it was bad luck: "It's true that a dog can't change its eating habits!"
After I finished saying this, I realized that I had even cursed myself, and I suddenly felt even more unlucky.
Bian Cheng saw Lu Ren running away, but he did not stop him. He just said with regret: "Ren, you are so afraid of me, I will be sad."
Although he said so, there was not a trace of hurt in Bian Cheng's eyes.
"I didn't intend to harm you. I just wanted to get the Ghost King Seal back."
Hearing this, Lu Ren remembered that when he first entered the Underworld, Bian Cheng gave him half of the Ghost King Seal, symbolizing the authority of the King of the Underworld in the Sixth Palace. Now that he has escaped from the Underworld, the Ghost King Seal is still on him.
Although Bian Cheng was not a good person, Lu Ren had no interest in usurping other people's property. He was speechless, and then said to Bian Cheng: "Then just tell me, how can I not return it to you?"
"Although you are willing to pay it back, someone may not be willing to let you pay it back." As he said this, Bian Cheng looked at Si Yuan meaningfully.
Si Yuan didn't say anything.
Although on the surface, the Foreign Household Registration Bureau and the Nine Nether Realm Division have reached a friendly agreement, for the Four Realms Division, when the position changes, there is no agreement that cannot be torn up. The Foreign Household Registration Bureau needs a more reliable certificate. For example, half of the highest power of the Nine Nether Realm Division.
From the moment Si Yuan appeared, Bian Cheng knew that he would not be able to get the Ghost King Seal back today, so he gave up cleanly and neatly: "Forget it, just give it to Ah Ren for safekeeping temporarily." Bian Cheng looked at Lu Ren and raised the corner of his mouth, "Anyway, Ah Ren will have to go to the Nine Nether Realm sooner or later."
Lu Ren: Thank you.
While the situation in Lu Ren's ward was tense, a group of three-legged birds, the Golden Crow, were standing outside the ward door.
Although other members of the combat team said that it was just an injured human being and there was nothing to see, after everything that had happened in the past year, Jin Wu felt that this human being was probably the most dangerous and terrifying existence in the entire Alien Household Investigation Bureau.
So today he took the opportunity to take a break from work and came to the 18th Hospital to visit this human.
The human form of Jinwu was a young man, holding a beautiful box in his hand, which contained the heart of the Gu Diao that he had received yesterday. But he didn't dare to enter the room, because as soon as he reached the door, he felt the pressure from the powerful man in the ward. He secretly poked his head out of the door of the ward and silently observed the scene inside.
Then he saw the director and the famous crazy critic of the Sixth Hall of Hades, Bian Cheng. The conversation between the director and the Sixth Hall, Si Yuan, seemed to be coming to an end.
He saw that the Sixth Palace ignored the director, then smiled at Lu Ren with his white teeth, and said in a good mood: "The Nine Nether Realm is looking forward to your joining." After that, regardless of the two people whose faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot, he cut a crack on his own, crawled into it and disappeared.
However, although Bian Cheng disappeared, the depressing atmosphere did not disappear, and Si Yuan and Lu Ren remained silent.
Xiu, Shura field?
Jinwu: “Ying.” He didn’t even dare to breathe, let alone enter the room.
Si Yuan seemed to tell Lu Ren to have a good rest, then turned and walked towards the door. Before leaving, he glanced at the remains of the Gu Sculpture piled in a corner of the ward, but Si Yuan did not ask any questions or pause, and left directly. Naturally, he seemed not to notice the pile of strange souvenirs.
Jinwu watched him walking towards him and wanted to immediately cast a spell to quickly escape, but when he was halfway through the spell, the whole bird was frozen.
Jinwu: I want to escape, but I can’t.
Jin Wu was crying silently in his heart. Before he could even open his mouth to beg for mercy, he heard Si Yuan's cold words ringing in his ears: "The entire combat group is absent from work, and fifty years of salary will be deducted uniformly."
Jin Wu then realized that he had cried too early.
