Chapter 88 Liu Shuai Was sMads (2/2)
Zhou Yuan was silently looking at Qili, and upon seeing Liu Shuai suddenly go crazy, he immediately tried to stop him, but only to be pushed away. Liu Shuai said, ”It's all because of you!”
”Eh?” Zhou Yuan was also stunned. He did not understand what Liu Shuai meant. Liu Shuai acted like he had gone mad the moment he entered the door and scolded everyone he met. Zhou Yuan did not know what the problem was.
After pushing Zhou Yuan away, Liu Shuai's heart was still filled with unquenchable anger. He stepped forward to grab Zhou Yuan's collar. Seeing this, Hao Ning brushed Liu Shuai aside with his right hand and gently kicked the chair beside him with his right foot. The chair did not flip over but instead moved forward slightly. Just as Liu Shuai stumbled and about to fall on the ground after spinning a few times, the chair moved there in time, and Liu Shuai fell on the chair instead of the ground. It was an accurate calculation. If Liu Shuai span for two circles more or the chair moved slower, then Liu Shuai would have fallen on the ground in a pity posture. It also revealed that Hao Ning had acquired his own understating of the details of martial arts.
Qili wanted to cheer for Hao Ning's action, but he suddenly remembered that the person being ”fixed” was his leader, so it was not something to be proud of. At the same time, he did not know what mistake he had committed, so it was better not to say anything. Thus, he kept his mouth closes, which made him hard to hold.
”Hey,” Hao Ning noticed that Liu Shuai had calmed down after the chaos. So, he said, ”Being angry cannot solve the problem. What's exactly going on? Tell us so that we can think of a solution together.”
Liu Shuai sat on the chair with his head lowered, rubbing his bald head without saying a word. After a long while, he raised his head, looked at Hao Ning, took a deep breath, and slowly said, ”Do you know what kind of patients live on this floor?”
”No,” Hao Ning did not expect it to be this far, so he could only answer honestly, ”It just doesn't seem to be a normal ward.”
”A plane flew from S City S to Chang'an half a month ago, and the rich man, Mr. Wang's son, was in it.” Liu Shuai did not answer Hao Ning's question, but said something else that did not seem to have any relation with this issue. ”The plane entered into the storm lightning layer in the sky. The storm was dense, but what is strange is that after the bumpy plane came into the depths of the clouds, it became stable, and in the end, it passed through the clouds safe and sound.
The more Hao Ning listened, the more shocked he became. He knew that the plane that Liu Shuai was talking about was the plane that they rescued from Li Longfei's hands the first time they were in Zhang Chihang's office. It turned out to be a misunderstanding. Li Longfei was trying to save the plane as well.
Without waiting for Hao Ning to recall, Liu Shuai continued to speak quietly, ”The plane arrived at Chang'an unscathed, but just in a short period, a few passengers who returned to S City, after a few days fell unconscious. They were diagnosed to be vegetable in the preliminary test, and they were placed inwards in this floor.”
”Vegetable?” Hao Ning was startled. He had a feeling that something was amiss, ”Why did they suddenly become vegetable?”
”This is a strange part,” Liu Shuai looked at Hao Ning. Although he said that it was strange, there was a very determined look in his eyes, as if he had already found the answer himself. ”These people didn't have any similar work experience before, nor did they know each other. The only thing they shared is that they rode on the same plane and encountered that strange lightning together, maybe —” Liu Shuai swallowed his saliva. He looked at Zhou Yuan, then shook his head, ”Maybe they lost something in the lightning.”
”Damned!” Hao Ning shouted. He recalled Longfei's words that night. Longfei appeared in the plan because he found non-human animal spirits in it, and he couldn't bear the hunger and wanted to pull them out to eat. That night, after Zhang Chihang subdued Longfei, to prove his innocence, Longfei even showed the animal spirits to Zhang Chihang. Besides, Zhang Quan and Zhang Chihang mentioned that a few individuals in the plan might lose their souls for some reasons, just like Zhou Yuan, and their souls had been swapped for the souls of animals.
After thinking thoroughly, Hao Ning became a little clearer on the situation. Although those few people acquired animal souls, a part of those had been extracted by Li Longfei during the thunderstorm, so their souls became incomplete. It was just like what Zhang Quan and Liu Shuai had said later on. When their souls were incomplete, souls would force their bodies to enter a state of soul protection, which resembled vegetables in outside appearance.
”Then?” Although Hao Ning understood it, he couldn't say it explicitly since he still had a question, ”What does this have to do with Qili? Qili was not on that plane. ”
”Qili...” Liu Shuai looked at Qili in disappointment. ”I heard that he was put in this ward because a part of his body's characteristics was detected to be the same as these people.”
”Huh?” Although Qili did not understand totally, he vaguely comprehended that Liu Shuai was comparing him to a vegetable, so he couldn't help but retort, ”I'm fine now. Look at me. How do I look like a vegetable?”
”You heard it?” What Hao Ning was concerned about was this small detail that Liu Shuai mentioned, and he had some doubt as well, ”Where did you hear it from? How do you know all this? ”
”Fine. It seemed like disasters cannot be avoided. ” Liu Shuai lowered his head and wiped his face, ”Professor Chen you guys were talking about was my advisor in college.”
