Chapter 113: Bai Lu: This young lady has truly seen a ghost; the mystery of the power of the contract

For a moment, Bai Lu circled the writhing Xie Jun, pinching her own jade-white chin as she carefully scrutinized and observed him.

She even took out a magnifying glass from the side and peered down into Xie Jun's mouth; indeed, there was nothing inside.

"The writhing of the flesh in the throat and mouth is clearly caused by something being forcibly shoved inside, which is why this fellow is howling in such agony."

"Strange, there is clearly nothing there at all."

"It is as if there is an invisible person stuffing something very hard into this fellow's mouth, causing the flesh to writhe at a speed he cannot resist. That feeling of the throat swallowing a hard object is the root cause of his pain."

"This kind of pain is at least the sort where flesh is being torn away, yet his flesh has not suffered the slightest damage, and instead, he has these symptoms. Strange, too strange."

Bai Lu pinched her chin and pondered: "This is the first time this young lady has encountered such a situation. Could this fellow be one of those from the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus? Only when they conduct experiments over there do such bizarre symptoms appear."

If there were any symptoms she couldn't diagnose, it would be those of the members of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.

Who knows what kind of experiments those fellows have been conducting in secret; there are plenty of strange and peculiar symptoms.

But generally, she is able to treat most conditions.

It is not as if she hasn't treated experimental subjects before.

"Master Bai Lu, this is a merchant, not one of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus."

Hearing Bai Lu's words, the Cloud Knight beside her quickly said: "He just suddenly collapsed on the ground and started howling in pain like this. There were no other signs; it just happened inexplicably. This is his only friend."

As he spoke, he let the man following behind, whom Xie Jun called 'Brother Long', step forward.

Then he said in a deep voice: "Tell us everything, one by one. Did this person show any signs before? If you hide anything, you are endangering your friend's life. You wouldn't want your friend to just die like this, would you?"

"My lord, I really don't know."

Hearing the Cloud Knight's words and seeing Bai Lu's gaze, the man Xie Jun called Brother Long was almost in tears: "I don't know why this happened. We just met today and were preparing to take a skiff to leave the Luo Fu, and then he just ended up like this for no reason. I don't know Xie Jun's situation either."

"Everything I said is true. If I am lying, may I die a horrible death."

He himself wanted to know what was going on; he really didn't know.

Seeing the man Xie Jun called Brother Long like this, the Cloud Knight frowned deeply.

Based on his understanding, this fellow was not lying, nor did he look like he was lying.

Then it was strange. Even Master Bai Lu couldn't diagnose these symptoms. What kind of illness did this fellow get? Is it contagious?

Thinking of this, the Cloud Knight's expression became serious.

If it were contagious, that would be terrible.

"Hmm, I can see you aren't lying. If you aren't lying, then the problem lies with this person."

Looking at the man who was almost crying, Bai Lu waved her hand casually and then looked at Xie Jun: "This fellow's symptoms are very strange. Let's give him a calming injection first."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, sending out lightning that landed on Xie Jun. Immediately, Xie Jun let out a miserable scream, and his whole body went still, as if he were dead.

"Hiss!"

Seeing this scene, the man Xie Jun called Brother Long gasped.

No way, is this what this little girl meant by 'calming down'?

He wouldn't be calmed to death, would he!

"It still hasn't eased."

Bai Lu looked at Xie Jun with a surprised expression.

She could clearly see that even though Xie Jun had been anesthetized and shocked into unconsciousness by her lightning-attribute power, his throat and mouth did not stop moving for a second, but continued to swallow.

She saw the feeling of his throat flesh being squeezed by something invisible very clearly.

And Xie Jun's face also showed signs of pain; his brows were almost twisted.

Clearly, even though he had fallen unconscious, he was still feeling this pain.

This pain came from his body.

At this moment, Xie Jun's mouth and throat seemed to have separated from him, having their own thoughts and movements.

"This situation is truly strange. It makes no sense."

Bai Lu scratched her head, looking confused: "Why is it like this? The flesh has no issues. It is the squeezing sensation caused by something being forcibly shoved in that makes the flesh writhe like this. If nothing were being forcibly shoved in, it wouldn't be like this."

"But the problem is, there is nothing in this fellow's mouth. Why would it be like this?"

Bai Lu was very puzzled, pinching her chin in thought.

It made no sense.

Even the experiments of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus had traces to follow.

This thing had absolutely no traces to follow.

"Let's check again carefully."

Without the slightest hesitation, Bai Lu's hands emitted a rich green light. The green light instantly enveloped Xie Jun's head, feeling for every abnormality in the flesh.

At this moment, Bai Lu used the power of the Abundance, using vitality as a guiding force to scan Xie Jun's head inch by inch.

Soon, the green light dissipated. Xie Jun still looked pained, and the sensation in his mouth had not eased in the slightest.

"Can't find it, I can't find anything at all."

Bai Lu had a 'seen a ghost' expression: "Why? This young lady even mobilized the power of the Abundance, yet I can't find any problems."

This situation was truly the first time she had seen it.

Even the powers of other Paths, she could detect accurately.

But under the investigation of the Abundance's power, there was simply no problem with this fellow; he was perfectly healthy.

"If it were some method of torturing people from a distance, it shouldn't be without any power at all."

Bai Lu pinched her jade-white chin, blinking her large eyes as she muttered: "For example, the Path of Nihility; the power of this Path is the easiest to ambush people from a distance, making it impossible to guard against. But I didn't feel it, and this fellow is just an ordinary person. How could a Pathstrider attack him?"

"Even if they did, there would inevitably be the power of a Path. But this young lady can't feel it. Strange, too strange."

While muttering, Bai Lu walked left and right around Xie Jun's head.

The Cloud Knight beside her, who had been waiting for the result, gasped after hearing Bai Lu's words.

Symptoms that even Master Bai Lu couldn't diagnose?

One must know, on the Xianzhou, there was no illness that Master Bai Lu couldn't diagnose or find the cause for.

As the 'High Elder' of the Vidyadhara, a famous doctor whose medicine cures all, the Path power she mastered was biased toward healing, and she was famous throughout the Luo Fu.

Yet even so, she couldn't find the symptoms of this fellow.

Several Cloud Knights looked at each other.

And the man Xie Jun called Brother Long also had a pale face. Could even the famous physicians of the Alchemy Commission of the Luo Fu not diagnose it?

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

The Yuchen Inn.

Lin Mo suddenly felt the power of a Path touching his power of the contract.

"A bit interesting."

Feeling this Path power, Lin Mo's interested gaze crossed the void, and at a glance, he followed the power of this Path to see Bai Lu.

"Such vibrant power, is this the power of the Abundance? It is purer than the Path power left behind by those experimental subjects of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus before."

Feeling Bai Lu's Path power, Lin Mo thought of the Abundance power in the flesh he had felt from the experimental subject of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus yesterday; it was simply like an impurity, with absolutely no comparability.

"The power of a Path cannot affect my power of the contract. This power is very mysterious, impossible to pursue, and one cannot even feel it."

"It seems this power of the contract rewarded by the role-playing panel is not simple."

"What if I were to make a contract with an Aeon?"

Thoughts surfaced in Lin Mo's mind one after another, and he fell into deep thought.

Aeons are mysterious, high-level existences, like sentient celestial bodies.

Each governs a different 'Path' and can travel freely between the stars.

They control the immense power to erase reality and create worlds.

Likewise, in Lin Mo's view, an Aeon seems to be a shackle.

After all, once you become an Aeon, you will open a 'Path'. Although you possess the authority of the 'Path' and can move the imaginary energy within that Path at will, you can only follow this Path, and as you continue to understand it deeply, you sink deeper and deeper.

Once a Path is opened, it cannot be closed. ===== CHAPTER 114 =====
