I Became a Medical Genius in the 80s

Chapter 824: Chapter 823: Missing

The emergence of poisonous water is no longer the most severe issue. Seeing those bizarre insects, both Beisitian and Chu Zhicheng felt a shadow cast over their hearts, which is also why Chu Zhicheng fundamentally did not want to be hostile with the Qingyu School.

Those who made the poisonous water and bred these poisonous insects are definitely not the same people, yet they appeared together now, which can only mean they have joined forces.

This is a disaster for the Mystic Doctors and the military.

Judging by the level of the poisonous water, it is evident the other party is not a novice or someone who is freshly out in the world. They are researching new poisonous water and have already made significant progress, as is the case with those poisonous insects, which, though still in the research stage, have already shown their power.

Although when the two Great Powers appeared, they immediately found the cause of confusion that had been troubling people for a long time, no one was happy.

”Has the reason for the massacre at the orphanage been found?” Beisitian asked in a deep voice.

Zhou Biwu shook his head, ”No.”

Chu Zhicheng glanced at Beisitian and asked Zhou Biwu, ”Were there any children’s corpses at the scene?”

Zhou Biwu shook his head, his heart sinking heavily.

The Mystic Doctor Association’s special assistant Liu Ting couldn’t help but ask, ”Isn’t it supposed to be a good thing not to find children’s corpses? At least there’s hope for rescue.”

Her reply was a prolonged silence.

Just when Liu Ting was getting anxious, Zhou Biwu closed his eyes and said, ”It’s been two weeks since the incident, I’m afraid it’s too late.”

Liu Ting looked puzzled. Many Mystic Doctors don’t know much about the poisonous water, as it’s rarely seen here, so rare that some Mystic Doctors have never even heard of it. Liu Ting, who entered the field halfway, naturally belongs to those who have never heard of it.

The Chen Family and Zhou Family are Mystic Doctor families, and among their family records, there are some mentions of poisonous water, but how it was made is unknown to them. Therefore, like Liu Ting, their faces showed bewilderment at this moment.

Beisitian didn’t want to say more, Chu Zhicheng obviously didn’t intend to explain, Tian Zhi felt heavy-hearted and unwilling to speak, Lin Yunping didn’t have the mood to speak either.

Zhou Biwu, serving as the temporary communication bridge, explained to some Mystic Doctors.

Upon hearing that those children were used as medicine primers, Liu Ting was shocked, her eyes widened, and when Zhou Biwu described the rough process of making poisonous water, Liu Ting cried with heartache.

The impact of the poisonous water on the minds of the few people present was quite enormous. Seeing this, Fang Yushan sighed. Although they knew that the Mystic Doctors came here with a gilding purpose, they still needed a briefing from the military on the Mystic Doctor’s affairs, which seemed rather unreasonable.

After identifying the cause of death, the military immediately took action, and naturally, Luo Xudong was the first choice.

Beisitian had never seen Luo Xudong execute a mission as directly as this. Thinking of the people Luo Xudong would face, she couldn’t help but feel deeply worried.

”General Fang, I have some protective talisman powder here that can be used for certain precautions.” Beisitian said while taking out a small bag of talisman powder.

She personally prepared this for Luo Xudong, but could not solely focus on him. After all, they were currently in a collaborative relationship with the military.

Fang Yushan was overjoyed; he was anxious about how his men could defend themselves against enemies, as even the strongest men were just human. Confronting the world’s most ruthless criminals was one thing, but dealing with poisonous water and insects was tricky, and the damage would be significant.

Since Luo Xudong was leading the team, the team naturally wouldn’t consist of ordinary soldiers. The cultivation of each of these soldiers required considerable effort, financial resources, material resources, and even manpower. Losing even one would be deeply distressing.

But the mission had to be carried out. Beisitian’s words were no less than a kindly gift in time of need. Of course, Fang Yushan knew Beisitian’s goodwill stemmed from her relationship with Luo Xudong.

”My medicine powder is limited, could you tell me the specific number of people involved in this mission?” Beisitian asked.

The number of personnel and related information is mostly confidential. Beisitian had no choice but to ask because her talisman powder couldn’t be mass-produced.

Fang Yushan understood this as well. He had no choice but to trust her. However, his trust in Beisitian was quite high, not to mention that her husband was the mission’s execution leader.

With Beisitian stepping up, the Ancient Wood School surely wouldn’t want to be left behind, so Chu Zhicheng also expressed willingness to provide protective talisman powder.

Fang Yushan could not hide his smile. With assistance from these two families, the mission would be relatively easier to execute, and his soldiers would finally have some protection.

That same day, Beisitian met with Luo Xudong, who received orders from his superiors to discuss mission details with her and was instructed to cooperate positively. Luo Xudong naturally answered all of Beisitian’s questions.

After roughly understanding the situation, Beisitian used her instincts to produce three types of Xuan Talismans—one for poisonous water, one for poisonous insects, and the last for precaution.

”How do you use this?” Luo Xudong asked, holding up a small bottle.

Beisitian replied without lifting her head, ”Just use it as you do with bug spray. Don’t waste it. It is highly effective for prevention.”

In this mission, there were a total of seven people involved, each equipped with three kinds of talismans. The first two types were to be ingested, and the last was to be sprayed on the body, with effects lasting up to seventy-two hours.

As for Luo Xudong, Beisitian prepared seven or eight Xuan Talismans for him. Despite her skills, she was still a human—humans are selfish; Luo Xudong is her husband, and obviously, she would treat him differently from the others.

”There’s no need to worry too much. This is just an exploratory mission. Our goal is to find clues about the other party, not direct confrontation.” Luo Xudong said.

Beisitian remained silent. The notion of direct confrontation was up to Luo Xudong, but those people might not even see it that way—even without direct confrontation, they have their ways to kill.

Luo Xudong was aware of this. His words were merely meant to comfort her.

Luo Xudong left with the talisman powder that same day, and Beisitian watched as their vehicle disappeared, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

Since everyone involved had signed a confidentiality agreement for this mission, even if Fang Yushan wanted to replace Zhan Lanqi, he would have to wait until the mission ended. During the mission, everyone had to stay together to ensure no information leaked out.

Although they couldn’t send out messages, they could receive outside messages, especially from family and school.

Tian Zhi also focused on outside news daily, refusing to let himself fall behind.

So when he received news from the small courtyard, he was completely stunned, shaking as he held the phone. The call came through an encrypted channel and was then directed to him.

Tian Zhi rushed to Beisitian’s room, knocked on her door, and said, trembling, ”Master... Little Rui, he is missing!”

Beisitian’s heart shuddered, thinking of the rampant behavior of those people now, her body went weak, fortunately, Tian Zhi quickly supported her.
