Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Surgery
In the Intensive Care Unit, two official personnel were clearly treating Stanna, perhaps by identifying each parasitic location of the spores and then removing them one by one. As long as the speed was fast enough and the methods were severe enough, it was very likely that Stanna’s life could be saved.
However, those Demon Flowers were too dense, and the dream-like whispers were a distracting delirium, which slowed down the search significantly.
The hurried young man seemed a bit anxious as he inadvertently lifted a cluster of bizarre and vivid red Demon Flowers, trying to discern whether a spore had also parasitized Stanna’s shoulder.
He was so focused on his search that he didn’t notice the frequency of one red Demon Flower “swaying” was slightly abnormal.
At this moment, within Tang Qi’s eyes, Information Fragment Three abruptly surfaced.
...
“Information Fragment Three: Before the Blood Demon Flower enters its withering phase, it will randomly activate one Demon Flower and choose another life form to parasitize, controlling it to escape and initiate the next contamination.”
“Huff~”
Almost immediately, Tang Qi moved quickly away from his original position, casually taking a cup from the small compartment’s table, and then swiftly entered the Intensive Care Unit with just a few steps.
“Click”
The white door was pulled open by Tang Qi, instantly drawing the attention of both focused individuals.
While being watched by them with surprise and dissatisfaction, Tang Qi simply smiled, quickly stepped forward, grabbed the tall young man with curly hair, and pulled him out.
This action was not supposed to be successful.
At least in the curly-haired young man’s own view, he was well aware of his own strength – it was a pipe dream for a student-looking youth to move his body.
But in that instant, he inadvertently made eye contact with the young man.
His body, which should have been firmly rooted to the spot, let itself be pulled away by the young man, almost stumbling in the process.
However, the curly-haired young man quickly reacted with a changed complexion, then sharply pulled his hands into his chest and surprisingly produced an old-looking double-barreled shotgun from within, its dark muzzle immediately aiming at Tang Qi’s head.
“Who are you? Don’t move!”
In his own eyes, the curly-haired young man’s reaction wasn’t over the top at all. An inexplicable intruder, moreover one who could affect his mind, was certainly dangerous, better to gain control first.
However, at this point, aside from being momentarily distracted by pondering how this fellow managed to conceal a double-barreled shotgun so effectively, Tang Qi had no time to pay him any attention.
Instead, he took a small step back, allowing the target-shifting action of the “Demon Flower’s” parasite attempt to fail once again.
Seemingly untouched by the looming threat, Tang Qi still smiled, then turned to the elegantly dressed old gentleman and sincerely said, “Sir, I think I might require your assistance shortly.”
“This thing might go berserk.”
“Oh, by the way, the location of the last spore is at Stanna’s ankle.”
As soon as the words were spoken, Tang Qi didn’t give the curly-haired young man or the Demon Flower that was about to initiate the third parasitic act a chance to react; the cup that was hidden behind him suddenly appeared.
In the cup, which was initially empty, a bright blue liquid had now astonishingly appeared.
The cup quickly moved above the Activated Demon Flower, and the rim tipped ever so slightly.
When the bright blue liquid formed a stream, pouring all over the Demon Flower, a terrifying uproar ensued immediately.
“Hiss~”
A scream interrupted the delirious dream-like whispers that reverberated inside the Intensive Care Unit. The sound was sharp and seemed to carry extreme distress, causing everyone outside who was about to barge in to painfully cover their ears and crouch down.
The curly-haired young man and the old gentleman also showed expressions of pain on their faces.
The difference was, the old gentleman reacted incredibly fast.
With one hand forcing the double-barreled shotgun down, he frowned and looked towards the source of the scream.
Suddenly, a bright red Demon Flower upon touching the azure liquid transformed into a ferocious Monster. It grew a body as if entirely composed of blood, a pair of crimson claws, a terrifying Blood Bowl mouth, and snipping sharp teeth. Screeching and struggling, it tried to break free from the liquid’s confinement and charge toward the young boy.
But even after the liquid in the cup had been completely poured out, it failed to do so. Instead, its screams grew weaker, until it melted into a pool of fresh blood.
This, however, was not the end, but the beginning.
After the Activated Demon Flower was annihilated by Tang Qi with a cup of “Sea Demon’s Tears,” the entire crop of Blood Demon Flowers went berserk in an instant.
They trembled and swayed, then issued terrifying screams.
“Hiss~hiss hiss”
What was once a seductive, dreamy murmur instantly turned into a scream potent enough to kill a person.
Centered on the ICU, the horrific howling spread, engulfing the entire hospital building.
The outside director and Gideon’s group, being too close, were already lying in pain on the ground.
“Old gentleman, it’s time to act!”

At this moment, Tang Qi seemed to become the conductor.
His voice pierced through the howling, drilling into the ears of the old gentleman.
Finally snapping to attention, the old gentleman displayed a magical technique that even Tang Qi couldn’t help but marvel at.
He pulled out a small wooden tube from his pocket, removed the stopper, and a flicker of flame sparked. Then, with a sudden blow towards the light, “whoosh,” a plume of pale gray smoke billowed out.
Wherever the smoke reached, all howling Demon Flowers stopped, seemingly in some kind of “sleep” State.
Next, the old gentleman calmly took out a small cloth bag and unfolded it, revealing a series of bizarre tools that seemed to be used for surgery. Yet, each one had a different design from modern surgical knives and was well-crafted, possessing an antiquated aura.
With Tang Qi’s Hint, the old gentleman had Insight into all the spore positions. He seemed to require no one’s assistance, his stooped figure displaying agile movements. Circling the operating table, he pushed aside the sleeping Demon Flowers with one hand while reaching for a Surgical Knife with the other, excavating spores one by one.
When the spore near the ankle was removed by the Surgical Knife, the Demon Flower, now deprived of the blood supply, began to wither.
Not just wilting, but a complete devolution.
Eventually, it became a blackened, shriveled Bud, slowly falling.
Which was then casually caught by Tang Qi and naturally placed into a transparent evidence bag.
A fleeting Information Fragment passed beneath his eyes.
[Curios: Withered Blood Demon Flower, can be used to concoct a certain Secret Medicine.]
…
“Huff~huff huff”
The somewhat rapid breathing came from the old man. Although his previous actions were smooth, and the outcome was satisfactory, eliciting admiration for his technique, he was still an old man, and exhaustion burst forth within him after the precision of the major surgery.
Tang Qi said nothing, standing next to Stanna, the two making eye contact.
The curly-haired young man had also regained his composure, realizing that Tang Qi had acted to save him. Now feeling somewhat embarrassed and at a loss for words, the two of them fell into a “tacit” silence, waiting for the old man to recover.
This period was not long. After a few breaths, the old man’s breathing began to steady.
And before that, in Tang Qi’s eyes, two special interfaces were forming along with the twinkling ghost light.
