"There"s an embarra.s.sing thing I"d like to ask you."
"What"s the matter?"
"We are both men, and it"s not shameful to speak out," Li Xianyu shyly said. "I"ve been suffering from kidney overload since I was young, and I"ve been in poor condition. Is there any way you can treat it?"
"kidney overload. Ah, a trivial matter. If it"s innate, it can be eliminated when you awaken. In addition, more exercise and taking care of your diet is also a good way of treatment. No one knows when one will awaken. I don"t know when it will be either. It must have caused some trouble to your s.e.x life."
Bian Que said, "What I"m good at is pharmacology. When a man"s kidneys are not in good condition, no medicine can help. They still need to be recuperated. Say what, you give me five points, and I"ll help you with this."
Li Xianyu was overjoyed. He was unbelievably depressed whenever he thought about his existing condition. He whispered, "What if it can"t be cured?"
Bian Que was confident. "Impossible. If I can"t cure it, I will pay you 50 points."
Li Xianyu said, "I"m counting on you."
Bian Que exited the room, laughing.
Treatment for workers injured in the course of work was given, due to the division"s protocol. No additional points would be charged. However, if it was a private transaction, a certain amount of points could be charged.
Five points wasn"t much, but Baoze"s points were hard to earn. Every point was very useful.
Bian Que was in a happy mood.
At Office of the Director of Law Enforcement.
Lightning King, standing at 1.9 meters tall, sat at his desk and wrote vigorously. His handwriting was ugly. He was preparing a secret file of SS level cla.s.sification. However, all doc.u.ments above S level cla.s.sification could not be entered into the computer. It could only be recorded in the most old-fas.h.i.+oned way.
"June 18, 2020.
The descendant of the Li family died unexpectedly when he fell from a building. San Wu, an S-level employee, witnessed it with her own eyes. Photos and surveillance videos were also provided as evidence. The cause of the incident was Shen Meng, who was the leader of the Shen family, and his sidekick, Shen Yuan, who partic.i.p.ated in the incident as well. They intended to capture the descendant of the Li family and torture him, to get him to reveal the address of the Great Deities Palace. The two men have escaped, and an arrest warrant for the both of them have been issued.
Third-party forces have not been identified yet. There is a need for this to be verified.
Ten minutes after the fall and death of Li Xianyu, he was resurrected. After his death, his blood coagulated but did not disperse; his cell vitality did not decrease. Looking at the past and present, among millions of demon descendants, there has never been such a phenomenon.
It is speculated that the resurrection of Li Xianyu may be related to what Li Wuxiang brought out of the Great Deities Palace. We tested the blood and DNA of Li Xianyu and found no abnormalities.
In addition, the warning 20 years ago was not false. War Spirit Wushuang lost control of herself. The danger level was raised. Danger level a.s.sessment: SSS."
Lightning King stopped writing after a hundred words or so. He sealed the doc.u.ment and put a photo printed from his mobile phone into a file bag, along with the doc.u.ment. Then, he picked up a USB disk on his desk, inserted it into his computer and watched the video.
The video showed a scene that happened behind the residential building last night. In the quiet night, there was no one on the road behind the apartment. Suddenly, a figure fell from high up in the sky. At the same time, War Spirit Wushuang landed on the ground, leaving behind two craters in the ground and causing the rubble to shoot everywhere.
Shortly afterwards, San Wu landed. The two women stood by the corpse for a while. Then, War Spirit Wushuang went hysterical. An invisible shock wave spread, causing the camera fixed by the roadside to shake violently.
In the video, San Wu and the female war spirit engaged in a brief confrontation.
San Wu threw out flurries of slabs and bricks, each of which hit the body of the female war spirit. To be exact, it hit a force field surrounding the war spirit. The slabs smashed themselves into pieces, and then embedded themselves into the body of Li Xianyu.
That was San Wu"s skill. As long as she threw something out, she was always able to hit something. If she couldn"t hit the enemy, her allies would be hit.
War Spirit Wushuang flew into a rage. In a flash, she rushed to San Wu, pressed her forehead towards the ground, and dragged her for more than ten metres.
In the process, the two women exchanged swift blows as they engaged in close combat.
The Lightning King had seen this video countless times. He did not pay attention to the fighting. Although San Wu was no match for the war spirit, but a war spirit that had not smashed its pearl was not able to kill an expert like San Wu.
His eyes were fixed on the lower right corner of the video. A black pearl slowly floated out of Li Xianyu"s body. However, his attention was not on that either, despite the imminent destruction of the demon descendants community if the pearl broke.
"Five, four, three…" He counted in his heart. When he counted to one, an appalling scene happened.
The corpse came back to life, the wound healed, and when his cells reorganized, the brick fragments were squeezed out of his body. The demon descendants community had seen similar abilities, provided that the subject was still alive. However, this ability of self-healing after death was unheard of by the Lightning King. The most terrifying thing was that in the back part of the video, he noticed that the blood that had not been washed away by the rain returned back to its original position. Blood, brains, broken flesh… they were all rea.s.sembled.
Even though he had seen it countless times, the King of Lightning still had the illusion that he had watched the video backwards.
A few seconds later, Li Xianyu rose up and reached out to hold the black pearl, as his eyes shot scarlet blood.
The video ended here.
He looked at the computer screen in a daze, unable to understand anything.
What kind of powers enabled one to come back from the dead? What kind of powers had such self-healing effects?
The Li family"s special power should have been strengthening. That"s what that boy"s powers had indicated. The thing that Li Wuxiang brought out of the Great Deities Palace that year had never been found. After 20 years, clues of it had finally emerged.
They inspected and tested Li Xianyu in all aspects, but found nothing. War Spirit Wushuang had insisted fiercely that she did not know anything, having been kept in the dark all along.
Lightning King lay back, causing the specially-tailored office chair to creak bitterly.
He rubbed his eyebrows. Even after a day, he was still terrified. Regarding the event that happened last night, he made two mistakes which resulted in it.
Firstly, San Wu was not suitable for being a bodyguard. She was a very good knife, but not a good protective tool.
Secondly, the Great Deities Palace was about to open. He neglected Li Xianyu and did not make adequate preparations.
When news of the Great Deities Palace"s opening hit, Baoze Group immediately strengthened the monitoring efforts for all demon descendants. Now, it was too difficult to hide a secret. As the law enforcement director, the Lightning King had actually neglected Li Xianyu, an insignificant figure.
The war spirit was one step away from the point of no return. Fortunately, Li Xianyu had come back to life again. The Lightning King, who was preparing for battle at that time, had doubted the authenticity of the news when he had initially heard it.
He had been crushed to smithereens. Yet, he was still able to resurrect?
The desk phone rang. Bian Que called to inform him that Li Xianyu had woken up.
He pulled out the USB disk and sealed it in the file bag. This information was cla.s.sified as double S level. The Lightning King would personally deposit the files in the Archives Department. The highest level of employees in the company was S. Any senior, it would have been management level.
Doc.u.ments cla.s.sified as SS level and above were not authorized to be read, unless it was by a very senior figure in the company. No matter how many points employees had, they could not read it. The archives were sealed. The Lightning King locked the bag in the safe and left the office. Instead of going downstairs to the medical department, he walked towards the office next door, where he heard a crisp keystroke in the s.p.a.cious office.
War Spirit Wushuang was lying on the office chair as she put her legs on the computer desk. There was a keyboard on her lower abdomen, as she used her fingers to tap on the keyboard rapidly.
She was playing a game known as Audition.
There was a big bag of snacks, a box of pizza, a bucket of fried chicken and a large c.o.ke on the computer table.
The Lightning King restrained his solemn expression, replacing it with a humble look. "Elder, your precious grandson is awake."
"Okay."
"Okay... What does that mean?"
"Wait until I finish playing the game. Don"t bother me now. Get out of here."
"Yes."
