Chapter 162: Compassion

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The blood vessels in her eyes had completely occupied the whites of her eyes, making her look a little horrifying.

Even Luo Chen couldn’t help but take a step back.

It was not because of anything else. It was purely because the woman looked like she was about to rush up and bite someone.

The other two men were in a worse state. Their breathing was so heavy that the entire basement echoed with a hissing noise.

“How strange. What kind of poison has such an effect?”

Luo Chen muttered. For a moment, he was unsure if he should go forward.

After all, the gazes of the three of them had already changed. They were definitely very aggressive. If he rashly stepped forward, he would probably suffer.

However, if he watched them die, the clues might really be cut off.

After hesitating for a moment, Luo Chen gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He increased his caution and slowly walked forward.

‘Er… er…’

The woman turned her head and stared at Luo Chen’s every move. However, because her movements were restricted, her movements were exceptionally strange.

If not for the fact that Luo Chen had seen all sorts of weird things, he might not have been able to hold on.

Fortunately, he had already instructed that no one was allowed to come to the basement. If there were outsiders around and they were implicated, Luo Chen did not have the confidence to protect the lives of the innocent in the hands of the crazy siblings.

“Well, you don’t have to be so nervous. I’m here to help you.”

Standing less than two meters away from the siblings, the unpleasant stench was already so strong that it seemed to have materialized.

Even Luo Chen felt like his eyes were stinging…

“Piss off!”

The woman seemed to have used all her strength to let out such a furious roar.

“Can you be more lucid? Tell me how you fell victim to this poison? Maybe I can make you better.”

Luo Chen quickly said while the woman looked like she could still communicate.

Unfortunately, after the woman finished shouting, her eyes became completely muddied again. A strange smile hung on her face as she stared at Luo Chen with a gaze that was so dull that it made one’s heart turn cold.

“Sigh…”

Luo Chen sighed helplessly.

If this situation continued, it wouldn’t be long before the siblings died without a burial place.

The bruises on the surface of their bodies were almost connected, and their bodies were swollen to varying degrees.

The bruises on the surface of their bodies were almost connected, and their bodies were swollen to varying degrees.

Even though he did not know what poison they were suffering from, he could imagine how dangerous it was.

“Go… Don’t come over…”

Just as Luo Chen was hesitating, the woman muttered again.

After saying that, she began to scream in pain.

To Luo Chen, he actually did not have any great ideals, nor did he have any obsession with saving people.

If he had to pay a huge price to save the siblings, he would probably have to consider it carefully.

There was a high chance that he would still choose to leave her in the lurch.

However…

All the relevant clues would be gone, and there were no mentions of this group in the original book either.

It was probably because the world was in chaos and different plots had fused together, causing today’s accident.

In the end, it was all because of him that things turned out like this.

After hesitating for a long time and seeing that the siblings were about to faint, Luo Chen quickly grabbed the woman’s arm.

Her slender arms were now swollen beyond recognition. It was no exaggeration to say that they were as thick as Luo Chen’s legs.

In her dazed state, the woman didn’t show much resistance to Luo Chen’s actions. She was like a corpse that had its tendons and bones removed.

Without a second thought, using some instinct buried deep in his blood, Luo Chen carefully pierced a silver needle into her finger.

There were blood vessels that flowed directly to the heart at this location. The most important thing now was to stop the circulation of toxins.

Otherwise, if the poison continued to seep in, even a real immortal wouldn’t be able to save their lives.

The silver needle was clearly thinner than a strand of hair. Usually, it did not require any strength to pierce through the skin.

But now, Luo Chen felt as if he had stabbed into some hard and tough leather. He couldn’t break through this soft and swollen skin.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chen couldn’t care less. He increased his strength and the silver needle finally pierced into her skin.

“Pfft!”

It was as if a balloon filled with water had been pierced. When such a thin silver needle was pierced in, blood spurted out like a fountain!

Luo Chen couldn’t dodge in time, and a portion of her blood splattered on his sleeve.

The pungent stench was almost at its peak.

Even Luo Chen was retching from the smell.

It couldn’t be helped. This was an instinctive reaction that couldn’t be controlled by rationality.

After getting through the initial period of time, Luo Chen immediately pinched the silver needle and began to adjust it carefully.

No matter what, the most important thing was to cut off the poison and remove it via her blood.

Otherwise, the woman’s situation would only worsen.

One, two…

From the woman’s fingers, arms, shoulders, all the way to her chest.

Luo Chen did everything meticulously until the silver needles almost covered the woman’s upper body. Only then did he stop.

In just a short while, beads of sweat had begun to roll down Luo Chen’s forehead, and the fatigue in his eyes grew stronger.

He had just rested but he had consumed a lot of energy previously. Hence, it was not so easy for him to make up for the deficit.

Right on the heels of that, he had to deal with the three siblings. He didn’t even have time to take a bite of his food. His body wouldn’t be able to take it anymore if he continued to treat them.

After the last silver needle was accurately inserted into the acupuncture point, the woman’s body suddenly began to stiffen, but she was still trembling uncontrollably.

Luo Chen was not surprised. After all, the poison had accumulated too deeply in their bodies. It was not something that could be expelled in a short period of time.

Now, as long as the woman’s situation did not worsen, it would be considered his success.

THUD!

As Luo Chen let go of her, the woman fell to the ground.

Luo Chen was not in the mood to care about her condition. Instead, he shifted his gaze to the two men who were still struggling on the ground.

The three siblings had to be dealt with properly. Otherwise, once the illness acts up, it might affect other innocent people.

To be able to make people so aggressive, Luo Chen had a feeling that the poison they were poisoned with was not simple.

Could it be that someone was developing a drug that could control people’s movements?
