Chapter 55

※※※

"Ai, Grina is looking for you, go and see what she wants." Seeing that Lei's mood was still not very high, Hyde sighed, "I'll go check on his condition."

"......Really......" Seeing the Zheng Chen that Greyas was carrying, Grina shook her head. Back then, she had a pretty good feeling about Kis, but now, Xiya's current state made her feel as if she had been slapped in the face again.

Xiya, who had become like a monster, was completely unfamiliar to her. If it weren't for her current poor condition, which seemed to have been weakened for some reason, and her relatively stable mental state, she couldn't even be placed in a normal room.

It was too dangerous.

As for Zheng Chen, well, it could now be completely confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the young man, unlike Kis.

"How did you bring him here?"

"Doctor Xina wanted it this way, saying that Doctor Hyde might be able to help with his condition."

"......Hyde?" Grina blinked in surprise, re-evaluating Zheng Chen. Yes, he was indeed a man...

Shaking her head, not long after Zheng Chen fell into a coma, she had learned the diagnosis from Xina. Zheng Chen seemed to have been poisoned by a highly corrosive toxin that could forcibly distort and destroy normal human cells, turning them into a crystalline substance.

As for the source of the poison, according to Lei's account, it seemed to have come from Xiya's body. However, Hyde had also tested her, and there was no toxic substance on her body. Of course, injecting her bodily fluids into a normal person could be considered a poison, but it wasn't like Zheng Chen's case.

"Ai, no matter what, it's good that you brought him back." Grina opened her mouth, Xiya had been brought back, but there were still many unresolved issues. Now, Lei and Zheng Chen could no longer appear in public.

Although the situation wasn't the worst, the outcome was still not what she wanted. Zheng Chen's current condition was unclear, Xiya was crazy and highly dangerous, and Lei had been in a low mood since she returned.

"Oh? Grina." Hyde, who had returned, was slightly surprised to see Grina, "Is there something you need?"

"No." Grina shook her head, paused for a moment, and then said, "I'll leave Zheng Chen to you."

"......" Hyde pushed up his glasses, nodded slightly, "I understand. I'm also curious about his condition. By the way, I'll bring them to your place tonight."

"My place isn't safe." Due to his reputation as a Holy War Angel physician, although his place wasn't in a bustling area, many people knew about it. Zheng Chen shouldn't be exposed, so he needed to be moved to a more secluded place, and Grina's place was just right.

......

"Hey, I didn't think you'd wake up. I thought you were done for." Placing a cup of hot water in front of Zheng Chen, Hyde took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. This man looked like he hadn't rested well for a long time.

"......" Zheng Chen's eyes were slightly unfocused. His current state could be described as terrible!

Name: Zheng Chen

Race: Human

Level: 1 (0/0)

Attributes: Strength (1) 8, Constitution (1) 7, Agility (1) 11, Intelligence 7, Spirit 10

Skills: None

Equipment: 'Pattern'

This was Zheng Chen's current attribute panel, showing his current state. His physical condition had been weakened to the point where it was worse than that of a child, and his constitution was particularly deficient!

It wasn't that a decrease in constitution directly reduced his physical strength; the decline affected other aspects. Zheng Chen could feel a sense of weakness even when he slightly raised his hand, and his strength was draining very quickly.

This barely remaining constitution had almost completely incapacitated him.

"Are you stupid?" Seeing that Zheng Chen wasn't responding, Hyde reached out and pulled off his shirt, looking at the black marks with some confusion, "It hasn't spread to your brain."

A few days ago, Hyde thought Zheng Chen was done for. After testing, the crystalline particles that had been stripped from his body no longer had a secondary corrosive effect, but their structure was very similar to the core stones of Holy War Angels...

However, they couldn't form properly. As soon as they crystallized, they would immediately shatter into powder. More seriously, Zheng Chen wasn't a woman!

If it were a core stone-like substance, the threat to women might not be as severe as it was for Zheng Chen. It was probably a genetic issue. There had never been a male Holy War Angel, and the idea of two men merging into one was just too disturbing.

Zheng Chen's body had been constantly fighting against the black substance. From the beginning, the black substance had the upper hand. If it were an ordinary person, they would have turned into a black, glowing crystal days ago. If they were lucky, they might have become a human statue; if not, they would have simply dissipated into the wind, and their ashes would have been buried.

However, Zheng Chen was unexpectedly resilient and had managed to survive, even waking up.

"If you were a woman, this might have been easier to solve."

Muttering, Hyde turned and left the room, planning to inform the others. Although Zheng Chen still looked terrible, waking up was good news.

"How is he?" Xina asked.

"Still in that half-dead state, but he's awake. Go inform the others, I'll go check on Xiya." Hyde said, somewhat tired, but Xina stopped him.

"I just checked on her. You should rest now."

"It's fine..."

"You're very good at treating Holy War Angels, but I'm also good at treating people. Your condition is very bad! You must rest!"

Hyde's mouth twitched, and he waved his hand helplessly, "Alright, alright."

He lay down on the sofa, "I'll rest here for a bit..."

After lying down, Hyde realized just how exhausted he was. Almost as soon as he lay down, his eyelids became heavy. He had been forcing himself to stay awake for a long time.

Although Xiya's condition was terrible, it had given him many insights. Zheng Chen's condition was also subtle, but he was more disinterested. Tsk, why treat people when he was already a Holy War Angel physician?

Although he wasn't interested, he still detected some subtle aspects. The areas of Zheng Chen's body that had been eroded were somewhat similar to Xiya's condition.

It seemed that Zheng Chen was missing some essential factor, yes, it must be because he was a man!

Speaking of which, why was he so tired? Could Xina have drugged him?

After Hyde left the room, Zheng Chen slightly raised his hand. The intense sluggishness made him frown, and he gave up on trying to pick up the water cup. He might not even be able to stand up, and he would likely spill the water if he tried to drink.

Was the narcissistic doctor doing this on purpose or intentionally? Either way, he should have helped him sit up after he woke up...

Staring at his left hand, which was stained black, Zheng Chen frowned. His arm was fine, but his hand felt particularly stiff.

His arm seemed to have turned to stone.

Trying to sit up... he couldn't do it!

The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, and Zheng Chen raised his eyebrows, putting his arm back down.

"You're finally awake!" A figure ran to the bed and pounced on Zheng Chen. Zheng Chen, looking at the ceiling, moved his eyes. A few blue strands of hair tickled his nose.

"......Yeah." Zheng Chen responded faintly, the dryness in his throat making it difficult to speak.

"Alright, Lei, he needs to rest now." Grina walked over, patted Lei's shoulder gently, and said softly, looking at Zheng Chen with a slight relief, "It's good that you're awake."

Xiya's condition was already terrible, and if Zheng Chen had also been in trouble, she was worried that Lei would continue to be sad.

Actually, bringing back Xiya was already a huge surprise to her.

After Xina's examination, the female doctor, wearing a low-cut top, smiled gently at Lei, who had been worried, "His condition is stable, there's no danger to his life..."

For now.

She decided to hide this suffix, as it would ruin the mood.

Although Zheng Chen was awake, the total amount of black particles on his hand hadn't decreased much, so the danger he faced hadn't decreased much either.

Waking up was a good sign.

"Can you speak?"

"......" Zheng Chen looked at the white valley in front of him, slightly tilted his eyes, and nodded slightly.

"Can you describe how you feel now? It's important." Xina asked with a smile, as getting Zheng Chen's firsthand experience would help with further treatment.

"Water."

"Oh? Oh, sorry." Xina lightly tapped her forehead. Zheng Chen hadn't had water for days. She picked up the water cup from the side and placed it in Lei's hands, "You do it."

Zheng Chen slightly raised his hand, and Lei hesitated for a moment, pressing down on his raised hand. It was so weak that she easily pressed it back down, "I'll feed you."

"......" Zheng Chen, who had been helped to sit up, showed a look of difficulty. Being taken care of like this...

"Hey, are you embarrassed?" Xina noticed Zheng Chen's expression and couldn't help but chuckle, "Since you're a patient, don't be too proud. Accept the care."

Zheng Chen's frown deepened. This feeling of weakness was truly unsettling. Even being able to maintain basic daily activities would be better than this!

After slowly drinking half a cup of water, he gently shook his head, "Alright."

"You two talk slowly. Remember to come to me later." Xina winked at Lei and left the room.
