Chapter 131: Parasite

At the same time, Lu Ren, who was looking for someone on the street, suddenly received a call from Xu Panfeng.

He scanned his surroundings, picked up his mobile phone, and walked toward a nearby deserted tea specialty shop to answer the call.

“Hello? Director Xu? It’s me. Is there something you need?”

“Blazing Flame, something has happened.”

Hearing those five short words, Lu Ren instantly sharpened his focus.

He lowered his voice and asked, “Is it about the Fanxing Church?”

“Yes. We arranged an undercover agent on their side, hoping to find clues about their illegal activities. But just after joining them, he immediately lost contact. When we finally found him, he had already gone mad.”

“Mad?” Lu Ren raised an eyebrow, confirming once again.

“Exactly. For some reason, he became exceptionally studious. He has been studying non-stop, twenty-four hours a day. He hasn’t even put down his books while eating. When he picks up his mobile phone, it is only to gather information.”

Xu Panfeng briefly explained the undercover agent’s current situation, his voice full of worry.

Lu Ren remained silent for several seconds, his mind constantly thinking about the Fanxing Church’s doctrines and the behavior of the crazed undercover agent, trying to find useful clues.

After a moment of silence, Lu Ren exhaled and spoke.

“Director Xu, where is that crazed undercover agent now? I’ll go check the situation.”

“He is currently being held in the Military Hospital. He’s talking with a doctor about a mental health diagnosis. I’m waiting for the results outside the ward. If you want to come, head to the third floor of the Military Hospital…”

“Hello? Hey? Director Xu?”

Before Director Xu could finish his sentence, he suddenly hung up the phone.

Even when Lu Ren tried to call back, he only heard a busy signal; there was no sign of the call being connected.

‘This is going to be a problem…’

Taking a deep breath, Lu Ren put his mobile phone back into his pocket and took out the Red Star Pendant, whispering softly.

“RITUAL GARMENT GENERATION”

Starlight surrounded him, and light shone brightly.

Within just a few minutes, Lu Ren had completed his transformation. He sensed that besides the high-speed power of the Boost Form, there was another destructive power within his body.

She understood in her heart that this must be the power she obtained when she killed the Mist-person.

After confirming there was nothing wrong with her body, Blazing Flame instantly switched to Boost Form and flew toward the hospital.

In just over ten minutes, the Red-Haired Girl entered the third floor of the Military Hospital through a window. She vaguely sensed the aura of an extremely weak Abnormal Magic Power Source.

With a wave of her hand to confirm the target’s location, Blazing Flame ignored the surprised looks of the other citizens and immediately rushed toward the direction of the Abnormal Magic Power Source.

In almost the blink of an eye, she arrived at an empty ward. Sensing that the monster was hidden behind the wall, she smashed through it with a single punch.

The moment the wall shattered, what appeared before Blazing Flame’s eyes was not another ward, but a small, pitch-black room without any light.

In this small room, she heard three heavy breaths and a sound like a small insect crawling on the ground.

Without time for second thoughts, Blazing Flame rushed in. The surrounding flames turned into a light source, illuminating the entire small room.

“Damn it! I could have obtained more knowledge in just a few more minutes! Why are you interfering with me? Die!”

When Blazing Flame stepped into the room, a sharp, piercing voice echoed in her ears.

Arriving along with the voice was an unbearable stench and a lunging Claw.

Blazing Flame raised her eyebrow slightly. Seeing the opponent’s completely inexperienced attack movements, she sidestepped easily to dodge.

Controlling her strength, she blasted the opponent into the wall with a punch, successfully knocking them unconscious.

After simply dealing with this mysterious monster, Blazing Flame finally saw its appearance clearly.

The monster that had attacked her earlier looked exactly like a human, except for its face, which was covered in a mass of wriggling tentacles.

They were moving constantly as if they had a life of their own.

Seeing the ever-changing shape of the mass of tentacles, Blazing Flame felt inexplicably disgusted.

At the same time, she clearly sensed that the Abnormal Magic Power Source originated from this disgusting thing.

She shook her hand and looked around the room. She saw a doctor in a white coat and her familiar Director Xu lying on the cold floor.

She used her power to lift the two people, moving them to the beds outside the ward, and then checked their breathing with her finger.

‘Good, both of them are fine. That’s a relief.’

Exhaling in relief, Blazing Flame returned to the dim room and looked at the unconscious human who seemed to be parasitized by tentacles.

After thinking for a moment, the Red-Haired Girl controlled her body’s magic power, letting her right hand catch fire.

She tried to burn away the mass of tentacles to see if she could save the unlucky undercover agent.

The mass of black tentacles seemed very afraid of the fire. As her right fist approached, they kept wriggling as if trying to escape the burning flames.

When she pressed her right hand against the man’s face, the mass of tentacles immediately began to struggle. She could even faintly hear strange, miserable screams.

But Blazing Flame didn’t care about the life or death of such a monster. She even wished this strange thing would die as quickly and cleanly as possible.

It wasn’t until all the tentacles on the man’s face were burned away that Blazing Flame slowly withdrew her hand and checked his breathing.

‘Well…’

The situation was slightly bad.

The breathing of the fellow parasitized by tentacles was very faint, almost stopping.

If left alone, something would likely happen to him very soon.

‘But I don’t know anything about medicine. I only know how to fight. What should I do…’

“Miss Zhiyan, hello. Are these two gentlemen on the beds having health issues? Do you need us to perform an examination?”

While Blazing Flame was thinking, an inquiring voice suddenly came from behind her.

She looked back with some curiosity and saw a young doctor looking at her with a face full of curiosity.

Behind him was a crowd of citizens who had gathered to watch the excitement.

Without much hesitation, Blazing Flame nodded slightly and said, “Yes. Please find someone to look after them. Also, help me check the condition of the gentleman inside.”

“Alright, no problem.”

Having received the young doctor’s promise, Blazing Flame immediately carried out the undercover agent whose breathing was extremely faint.

She stood aside and watched as the young doctor began to examine his physical condition.

After waiting for a while, more doctors arrived in the ward. While dispersing the watching crowd, they took Director Xu and the other doctor to the side for treatment.

Once news arrived that Director Xu and the doctor were physically normal and had only fallen into a brief coma, Blazing Flame finally breathed a sigh of relief and waited for news about the other victim.

But this wait lasted for two full hours.

It wasn’t until Director Xu and the doctor woke up that the closed ward door was finally opened, and the young doctor walked out.

Blazing Flame immediately went up to him and asked, “How is the patient? Is he alright?”

“Hmm… the situation is very special.” The doctor pondered for a few seconds.

“His physical functions are all normal, and he doesn’t even have a single wound. However, the blood in his body is mysteriously missing about 1,800 milliliters.”

“That much?”

“Yes. Even my teacher is seeing such a strange situation for the first time. He told me that something must have extracted the patient’s blood, causing him to go into emergency shock. But it’s fine; it’s not a major issue now.”

“I see. Thank you for your hard work.”

“It’s nothing. You are the ones working on the front lines. Speaking of hard work, you must be much more exhausted than we are.”

The young doctor smiled and waved goodbye to Blazing Flame.

Blazing Flame nodded slightly without saying anything more. She turned to look at the doctor and Director Xu, who were sitting behind her.

“Director Xu, can you tell me about this undercover agent’s situation over the past few days? I’m very curious about why he became like this.”

“I can.”

Xu Panfeng sighed, nodded, and replied.
