Chapter 679: Chapter 678: Attempting to Break the Cycle

Hospitals indeed are synonymous with death and rebirth, but once this atmosphere materialized, it made Lu Zixun, who could see it, feel extremely uncomfortable.

Death indeed is a common state in life, but it shouldn’t be a death manipulated by others.

And rebirth is the start of reincarnation, not a continuation of life in another form.

At this, a sharp light flashed in Lu Zixun’s eyes.

He realized what the Plague God and the Life Goddess were trying to do—they actually wanted to break the cycle of reincarnation.

“Lord Xun… what’s wrong with you?”

Yang Tao swallowed several times before finally gathering the courage, looking fearfully at Lu Zixun’s murderous expression.

“I remembered something unpleasant.”

Speaking indifferently, Lu Zixun looked towards the city hospital, “With the ability of your Order and your extraordinary power, there’s no way to solve the Peeling Eucalyptus Disease.”

Hearing this, Qing Yuanyang frowned and sighed softly inside.

Although he didn’t like the way Lu Zixun put it, he found no reason to argue.

If their abilities had been sufficient, they wouldn’t have had to pay such a high price to bring Lu Zixun here.

However, hearing what Lu Zixun just said, Qing Yuanyang’s eyebrows raised slightly; it seemed Lu Zixun had a method to enhance extraordinary power…

That was a gain.

To use some divine magic, either the extraordinary ability was enough, or one had to burn one’s own soul, originally…

The Order’s combat personnel who came this time had all prepared themselves psychologically to burn their souls, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Feeling Qing Yuanyang’s gaze, Lu Zixun turned his head to look back.

Sincerity.

Seeing these two words in Qing Yuanyang, Lu Zixun sighed slightly.

Regardless of how poor Qing Yuanyang’s methods had been before, it couldn’t be denied that he truly had humanity’s best interests at heart, otherwise, he wouldn’t have become a follower of the Justice Goddess.

After pondering, Lu Zixun said, “I remember, there seems to be a sealed item that can ‘borrow’ extraordinary power for a brief period. You might want to investigate who has that item.”

Qing Yuanyang thought hard for a moment, after a long while, his face darkened, and he spoke slowly, “That sealed item, known as Absolute Fairness, appeared within the Order, but it disappeared seventy years ago and has not been found since.”

What’s the point of saying that…

Forcefully holding back this commentary that almost slipped out, Lu Zixun’s mouth quirked, “Apart from this Absolute Fairness, are there no other sealed items that can ‘borrow’ the function of extraordinary power?”

“There is indeed another, but that item is in the hands of Crimson.”

Pausing for a moment, Qing Yuanyang’s expression grew even grimmer, “However, considering Crimson probably doesn’t want us to resolve this matter, it’s unlikely they would hand over the sealed item to us.”

Looking at Qing Yuanyang, Lu Zixun was momentarily at a loss for words.

Is Order truly that naive?

They don’t even know how to utilize public opinion or the awe-inspiring power of the spoken word.

“I think you should give it a try, after all, everything is for humanity, but it’s Crimson’s persona.”

After dropping this suggestion, the city hospital was close at hand. Lu Zixun transformed into a human form within the car and quickly walked into the hospital.

Lu Zixun feared that staying too long with people from Order might affect his intelligence.

After being reminded by Lu Zixun, Qing Yuanyang snapped back to reality, slapped Yang Tao on the shoulder, and said, “Did you hear what Lord Xun just said? How to make Crimson hand over the sealed item to us is now your task.”

Feelings as if a new door had just been opened, Yang Tao nodded vigorously, “Tao will not let you down!”

“Next time, just speak plainly, it’s quite awkward.”

“Oh, okay.”

…

The words “numb” and “despair” were enough to describe the current state of the city hospital.

As Lu Zixun walked through, the people he encountered weighed heavily on his heart.

Especially when he saw a child, only four or five years old, lying uncomfortably in a parent’s embrace, with eyes tightly shut and face scrunched, occasionally coughing, Lu Zixun felt suffocated.

“May I examine her?”

Approaching the parent, Lu Zixun asked softly.

“You…”

This middle-aged man with a weathered face looked up at Lu Zixun, his eyes showing a plea, “Please, Lord Spiritual Ability User, please save my little girl, I beg you!”

“Ding—Detected hope value from He Yuan +100.”

Lu Zixun silently sighed as he observed He Yuan’s agitated demeanor.

He nodded and took the little girl from He Yuan’s hands.

Peeling Eucalyptus Disease was a virus that could rapidly cause organ failure.

For Spiritual Ability Users who could protect their organs using Spiritual Energy, this disease could be entirely disregarded.

But ordinary people lacked Spiritual Energy, which led to the rampant spread of Peeling Eucalyptus Disease.

It must be said, Limorex had an unusual approach to target this issue.

Spiritual Energy Silk surged out, examining the little girl’s body, and Lu Zixun’s brow gradually furrowed.

A body infected with Peeling Eucalyptus Disease and a live person were completely different concepts, yet there was a connection between them.

The Peeling Eucalyptus Disease transmitted into the human body carried a tiny seed.

After causing organ failure, this seed would absorb the blood from the organs, which was the reason for rapid death.

Lu Zixun withdrew the Spiritual Energy Silk and fell into thought.

Using Spiritual Fire could indeed incinerate the ungerminated seed.

But there was a problem… once the seed was burned, Peeling Eucalyptus Disease would rapidly destroy the body’s organs, a case of interdependence.

Considering this, Lu Zixun felt a headache coming on.

While he could use Spiritual Energy to protect the organs of the infected, he had no way to eliminate Peeling Eucalyptus Disease.

That meant Lu Zixun could save someone, but that person would have to stay near him for life.

Lu Zixun sighed slightly, a gesture seen by He Yuan, who thought it meant his daughter was beyond saving.

He Yuan suddenly knelt before Lu Zixun, “Lord Spiritual Ability User, I’m begging you, I really am! She’s my only daughter, I’ll give you anything, everything, please, I beg you…”

The utterly collapsed emotions of He Yuan, repeatedly pleading, struck Lu Zixun with a wave of sorrow.

Just as He Yuan prepared to kowtow to Lu Zixun, Lu Zixun knocked him out.

As He Yuan was about to fall, Spiritual Energy lifted his body.

Allowing Order Personnel to follow, Lu Zixun headed toward a hospital room that STO had prepared beforehand.

He still needed to investigate further; otherwise, even with sufficient Order Extraordinary Power, solving this issue would be out of reach.
