Zhu Ming, upon hearing this, snapped back from immense pain, barely enduring it as he asked, "What about the family that brought me to the hospital?"
The nurse said, "Who knows, they were here just a moment ago. Speaking of which, your injury is quite odd; did you go into the wilderness and encounter some wild beast? Your wound is so severe."
When Zhu Ming was brought to the hospital, he was already critically injured and unconscious.
In the entire hospital, all the well-known doctors attended him, but none could discern the cause of the wounds on Zhu Ming’s body.
The consensus was that they did not resemble anything from everyday life—whether a tool or an animal.
It was very likely caused by some ferocious beast in the wilderness.
They even questioned the Wei Family, but their answers were evasive and unclear.
Zhu Ming, upon hearing this, tried to recall what had happened last night.
He remembered that in complete darkness, something suddenly charged at him.
He didn’t know what it was, and in the darkness, he couldn’t see clearly, only feeling that it was something huge.
It didn’t resemble an ordinary ghost or specter but rather some kind of monster.
But that thing seemed unable to walk properly, hopping and jumping like a soccer ball.
At this thought, Zhu Ming broke out in a cold sweat.
Seeing that he did not speak, the nurse checked his wound again and seeing that it was healing quite well, gave him some medicine and then left.
It wasn’t until the nurse left that Zhu Ming came back to his senses.
The thing from last night was definitely not ordinary.
It was a problem he couldn’t resolve.
And indeed, he had almost lost his life to it.
Zhu Ming couldn’t help but remember the words Jiangli had said before.
He had cautioned him to be careful, saying that he could lose his life this time...
Could it be that Jiangli was right?
Zhu Ming’s feelings were conflicted, half of him saying that he should believe the facts and Jiangli.
The other half, however, argued that believing Jiangli now would be akin to submitting to him, a slap in the face.
So Zhu Ming was somewhat troubled and did not immediately make any plans.
As the afternoon came, Zhu Ming’s condition worsened, even though the wound had been healing quite well.
For some reason, after Zhu Ming woke up, the wound began to deteriorate.
The hospital could not determine the cause.
But within his wound, Zhu Ming saw persistent black Yin Energy swirling around.
He turned pale, knowing full well that healing his wound might not be so simple.
Clenching his teeth, he secretly applied several Purification Talismans to himself, but for some reason, they had no effect.
The Yin Energy emanating from within the wound grew increasingly intense.
The Yin Energy, like some kind of carnivorous animal, seemed to be gnawing at his flesh inch by inch.
Zhu Ming’s condition deteriorated rapidly.
He realized that if things continued , he would certainly die.
At that moment, the Wei Family returned to the hospital.
Seeing Zhu Ming’s rapidly worsening condition, the Wei family patriarch also looked troubled.
He approached the hospital room and asked with concern, "Master Zhu Ming, what’s happening to you now? The doctors say your condition is deteriorating terribly, is it related to last night’s incident?"
Both Wei Family patriarch and his wife were aware that something terrifying had happened the night before.
However, everything had transpired in darkness.
The Wei couple had not seen what had taken place.
All they heard was Zhu Ming’s screams.
They didn’t know how much time had passed when the lights in the room suddenly turned on.
As their vision returned, they saw Zhu Ming crawling on the floor, moving toward a corner of the room.
As if that corner were a safe zone.
Only then did they notice Zhu Ming’s injuries and hastily brought him to the hospital.
But if something truly horrific had happened last night, why did that thing attack only Zhu Ming and not them?
