Two hundred and fifty-nine. Dissolving in his brilliance
Broken plant roots were scattered around the hospital bed. The parasitic banyan tree on the infected person's body lost its green color and became shriveled and withered to the naked eye. Finally, it collapsed on the slightly undulating chest and turned into a puddle of broken ashes.
The fallen banyan tree is the last piece of vegetation left by the infected person.
The "lighthouse" gradually dimmed. Without the tentacles covering it, the emaciated human figure was revealed on the hospital bed.
"What's going on..." The exorcist and Amin gathered around again.
"The parasitic plant consists of human nature."
Lu Li put the "Lighthouse" on the hand of the infected person, but perhaps because he had lost too much humanity, or the infected person was unconscious, the lamp did not light up again.
As for why plants make lighthouses light up, Lu Li thought of one word: dedication.
The most severely infected patient's plant disease seemed to have been expelled. After hearing the news, non-local exorcists and caregivers came to inspect and confirmed that all the plants on her body had disappeared.
Some spider-like scars crawled on the surface of her skin, like stretched limbs. They were traces left by roots that had lost their activity.
The infected person is still in a coma due to the weakened mind caused by the plant disease and long-term malnutrition, and is temporarily unable to wake up to answer questions.
But no matter what, the news that plant diseases can be solved is exciting at this time.
The second most severe patient also had saplings growing out of his trunk, but they looked like oak trees. So it didn't turn into the terrifying sight of the banyan tree patient's body covered with roots.
Hua Hua——
The branches with green leaves swayed gently, seeming to be happy for Lu Li's arrival.
The "lighthouse" touches the saplings and once again blooms with the warmth and warmth of the afternoon sun.
The patients gathered not far away looked greedy and felt the light shining on them.
The flickering light burned for half a minute and then gradually dimmed.
Most of the plants on the infected person's body had withered and fallen off, and the remaining ones were found by the caregivers and dealt with one by one.
The third person receiving treatment was not the third most severely ill patient, but a patient with branches growing out of his arms and a slow response.
The brilliance of humanity lit up for a few seconds and then disappeared. After the branches were broken, only a shallow mark like a tree stump was left on the patient's arm. The patient's mind was no longer slow, and he said, "This feeling of being awake has never been better than before."
"Lighthouse" can indeed cure plant diseases, but it will take some time to see whether it is actually cured.
The infected people received treatment one by one. Except for the severe patients who lost the ability to think, most of the infected people recovered. However, they still have to stay on the second floor of the Exorcist Association for a while.
The last person to receive treatment was little Lina. Her eyes that were not wrapped in gauze stared nervously, and the oil lamp touched the pocket sapling on her forehead.
The saplings shriveled and fell off, while the wick of the oil lamp flickered only faintly like a firefly.
"My little tree only lit up once..." Little Linna was a little disappointed.
"Are there any other saplings?"
Little Linna shook her head slightly and covered her eyes, which were in pain after being scratched by the bad guys.
"Your illness is cured."
Subtly, Lu Li's tone seemed to become softer, and then he looked at the exorcists behind him: "There may be other infected people hiding in Luo Lei Castle. We need to find them."
The soldiers of Luo Lei Fort quickly dispatched to search for infected people from house to house, and then went to the gallows for treatment——
"Treat patients in public." This is Emin's suggestion. Infected people hide themselves because of fear, but if the disease can be treated and they can be trusted, they will take the initiative to come out.
This did make some infected people who were hiding take the initiative to come to the hanging ground, but it also allowed Lu Li's fame to spread, and the rumors of the black-haired and black-eyed demon slayer walking in the deserted land were spreading around Thunder Castle.
While the last infected person was being treated on the gallows, which symbolized death, hundreds of citizens had gathered around the square.
With calm eyes scanning the people in the audience, Lu Li left the gallows and disappeared from people's eyes.
"Many nobles came to me and said they hope to invite you as a guest." The city lord wearing a bearskin coat looked like a wild beast.
"If they are infected."
"They are just a bunch of idiots who are afraid of death." The city lord showed his disdain for the nobles and looked down at Lu Li approvingly: "I have seen your contribution to Luo Lei Fort. You can choose your conditions if you stay."
Lu Li once again refused the city lord's offer. The city lord regretted it, but did not force him to stay. The desolate land was a poor place, and it was too far from heaven and too close to the time of silence.
"Then please stay as a guest in the castle for a few days. My people need your help." This is the real purpose of the city lord.
"My assistant is still in Tawei Town, I want to find her." Lu Li replied.
"This is easy to handle. I will ask a team of guards and exorcists to accompany you tomorrow."
"It might be too late, I'll go over now."
The harmonious atmosphere suddenly became oppressive and silent due to these words.
"Are you telling a joke? Exorcist." The city lord's smile disappeared from his face, and his face under the torch was gloomy. He looked down at Lu Li indifferently: "It will get dark soon."
"Heitian Road will not disappear." Lu Li replied calmly.
The city lord continued to stare at Lu Li, and the exorcist looked at it with difficulty. He wanted to ease the atmosphere but couldn't get into the conversation. At a certain moment, the city lord waved his hand like a fly and said impatiently: "It's up to you. If you need help, just come to me.
Captain of the guards, don't even think about taking the exorcist away. Now, disappear from my eyes."
Lu Li left silently. Ai Min, who was holding a heavy book, stared at the city lord indifferently, turned around and followed Lu Li.
The exorcist breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a helpless smile: "Your Excellency Lu Li is not that kind of person, maybe not what you think... Your Excellency the City Lord, let's leave first."
When they left, the city lord's low cold snort slowly sounded.
"A little boy who is spoiled by his parents... he will know the dangers of the real world."
…
"I'm sorry, Sir Lu Li... Portia is used to being strong. A weak city lord cannot survive in this land."
On the way back to the Exorcist Association, the exorcist who caught up with Lu Li explained: "Actually, the Lord of the City is a good person, but toughness has become his mask."
"Is it dangerous in the wild at night?" Lu Li asked.
"What?" The exorcist was stunned, and it took him a while to realize what Lu Li was talking about. "What are you referring to?"
"Literally." Lu Li said, and after thinking for a while, he added: "Tell me, just like you would say to ordinary people."
"Uh...is there a weird fog?"
"Yes."
"Of course... the night shrouded in strange fog is full of dangers, and even the best exorcists cannot stay alone in the fog for a long time. They are everywhere there... unless you light fires, many, many fires, so that they can't
near."
"But when we rescued people in Luosha Town, it was in the fog at night, but nothing happened." Ai Min's voice came from the side.
"Then I don't know..."
The exorcist looked at Lu Li, his black eyes as quiet as a pool of water seemed to be thinking about something.
