“Dell, do you still recognize me?” Chen Zhao had to confirm if Dell was still fully conscious .

“Chen… Help me… It"s so painful…”

“Where?”

“My whole body…”

Standing beside them, Fali said, “Looks like epilepsy . ”

Chen Zhao shook his head and said, “It"s abnormal heart rhythm caused by electric shock… Tsura, did Dell consume anything before you started playing?”

After slight hesitation, Tsura nodded .

“What drug is it?” Chen Zhao was unsurprised by Tsura"s response . In fact, he had found out that Dell had been consuming illegal drugs in his previous visits . In addition, he knew it was not weed, but something more intense .

“Highly concentrated MDMA . ”

MDMA stands for 3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine, the main ingredient for ecstasy .

In fact, the amount of MDMA in ecstasy is relatively low . Consuming pure MDMA would produce more intense hallucinations and pleasure, but also have higher toxicity .

It was almost equivalent to death after enjoyment . Chen Zhao really could not understand this kind of person"s mentality .

Of course, as a doctor, Chen Zhao was not obliged to urge Dell to fight his drug addiction . Dell would not listen to him anyway .

After some examination, Chen Zhao confirmed that Dell was suffering from complications due to abnormal heart rhythm, which thereby caused his convulsions .

To be more direct, his own body was sending him an alarm .

Chen Zhao turned his head and instructed Tsura, “Go fill the bathtub with water, warm water… the kind that you can still put your hand in . ”

A few minutes later, Tsura ran out from the bathroom .

“Done . ”

Chen Zhao carried Dell into the bathroom, which was really easy given his current strength .

Putting Dell into the bathtub, Chen Zhao turned his head and said to Fali, “Bring me my toolbox . ”

Tsura and Fali both stood outside the bathroom so as not to disturb Chen Zhao"s work .

Fali knew some first aid, but she could not understand what Chen Zhao was doing .

“Chen, why did you put him into warm water?”

“The human body is very sensitive, especially to temperature . Warm water can relieve his contractions, but he still needs acupuncture . I don"t think you know much about acupuncture . ”

In fact, most Americans are not unfamiliar with acupuncture . It often appears in films too .

“But can you see his acupoints clearly in water? Wouldn"t you insert the needle into the wrong spot?”

Chen Zhao did not doubt himself for a second . His other medical skills might be questionable, but he had been practicing acupuncture since young .

Acupuncture requires more than just the eyes . Chen Zhao also needed to feel the spots with his hand .

Dell was partially submerged in water at the moment . Although light would be refracted, Chen Zhao could confirm the acupoints by just touching and without even looking .

Dell"s body calmed down gradually and the convulsions also stopped .

Chen Zhao had managed to ease Dell"s abnormal heart rhythm with acupuncture .

Then, he carried Dell back into the bedroom and began to ma.s.sage his muscles .

“Chen… be gentler… it hurts…”

“It"s good that you can still feel pain . ” Chen Zhao was ma.s.saging the softer areas with a lot of force .

Apart from his abnormal heart rhythm, Dell was also poisoned by the illegal drug .

Chen Zhao still had to help him detoxify, that is, make him vomit the toxic substances .

Under the night sky, a car was racing towards Mountain Town .

David was driving at full speed, while Sienna was sitting on the front pa.s.senger seat .

Chris who was sitting on the rear seat seemed to be behaving unusually . She had been holding the mirror all this while .

“Chris, can you keep that mirror?” David said, glancing at the rear mirror .

However, Chris continued to look at the mirror with her head lowered, as if she had heard nothing .

Sienna"s expression became serious . Chris seemed to be asleep .

“Chris!” Sienna turned her head and attempted to wake Chris up .

There was no response . David and Sienna both felt rather anxious .

Suddenly, David saw Chris from the rear mirror . No, it was not Chris, but an unfamiliar face!

David was so shocked that he could not even hold the steering wheel properly . The car rocked on the road .

“David, drive properly . What are you doing?” Sienna complained .

“No…” David turned his head and looked at Chris . It was still Chris and nothing had changed .

“What"s wrong?” Sienna realized that David"s expression was somewhat strange .

“I"m not sure,” David muttered, uncertain . “When I looked at Chris from the rear mirror, I realized that… she"s someone else…”

Sienna also looked at the rear mirror, but she did not find anything unusual about Chris .

Nevertheless, she did not think that David was mistaken .

Anyhow, she also did not know what was happening . Nervousness crept up her spine as time pa.s.sed by .

“Are we not there yet? I don"t think it took this long the last time I came here!” Sienna asked impatiently .

David tried his best to contain his fear . Although he was a cop, his ident.i.ty and the gun in his pocket were of little help to their current situation .

“David, you see that billboard ahead?”

“Why?” David indeed saw a billboard at the side of the road .

“I remember we"ve already pa.s.sed that billboard…”

“Maybe there are several of them . Sometimes there are identical billboards on the road…” David explained, but only as an attempt to comfort himself .

“No!” Sienna suddenly shouted . “I remember clearly that the light at the center of that billboard was flickering . We"ve indeed pa.s.sed that billboard already!”

“It"s just coincidence…” David continued to drive forward .

However, an identical billboard appeared before them soon .

In the row of lights above the billboard, the one at the center was also flickering .

David could feel all his hair rise up instantly .

“We"ve been driving on the same section all this time,” Sienna confirmed .

“Why… Why would this happen…”

Suddenly, a figure bolted in front of the car . David stamped on the brake in panic .

“Did we hit?” Sienna"s face turned pale as well .

The two quickly rushed out of the car . However, they realized that the person lying on the ground before the car was Chris .

“What? What"s happening?” David looked at Chris in puzzlement .

Chris was before them, so who was in the car?

With a serious expression on her face, Sienna also turned her head and looked into the car . Because of the headlights before them, they could not really see what was in the car .

Sienna walked to the car door and looked inside . It was empty .

There was no one .
