Chapter 49: A Method That is Not a Method
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu bypassed Deng Xiaolin and rushed into the ward.
The young girl sat quietly, looking out the window. Perhaps sensing Liu Haoyu’s footsteps, she slowly turned her head. Her small face revealed a sickly pallor.
“To see you in this state… it’s quite novel.”
Qin Liu smiled faintly, while Liu Haoyu sat beside her and said,
“You should lie down first.”
“Cough, cough… I’ve been lying down for decades, I want to sit up for a while.”
Although Liu Haoyu wanted Qin Liu to lie down, the young girl remained seated and gently held Liu Haoyu’s hand.
Qin Liu’s hands were very cold, her slender fingers abnormally white, as if scrubbed with bleach.
She was also incredibly weak, as if a gust of wind could blow her to the ground.
Liu Haoyu took a cup of warm water and asked,
“Do you want some water?”
“Thank you.”
Qin Liu picked up the cup, but it almost slipped from her palm. Fortunately, Liu Haoyu was quick and steadied the cup.
“Never mind, I’ll feed you.”
Seeing Qin Liu like this, Liu Haoyu’s heart ached.
“Open your mouth.”
As Liu Haoyu was feeding Qin Liu water, Chang Wenxu appeared outside the ward. He first glanced at Deng Xiaolin, then looked into the ward.
When he saw Liu Haoyu patiently guarding Qin Liu, he couldn’t help but sigh.
“I didn’t expect this guy to have such an expression…”
“Why are you here?”
Deng Xiaolin was startled by Chang Wenxu’s sudden appearance from behind her and said,
“Outsiders are not welcome here, go, go, go… leave quickly.”
“Don’t be so heartless.”
Deng Xiaolin’s impression of Chang Wenxu, the playboy, was naturally not good.
She pushed him while squeezing him out and then shut them both outside the ward.
“Let those two stay quiet.”
“Don’t push, I’m also injured!”
Chang Wenxu had seen Qin Liu’s test results and investigated her identity.
He was somewhat surprised by Qin Liu’s test results. The results were extraordinary: acute failure of all organs. Even a divine doctor would probably be unable to save her.
He was also surprised by her identity. A person from the 1980s… maintaining her original appearance into modern times, this would be incredible if it were revealed.
“Can your injury compare to Qin Liu’s?”
“That’s true…” Chang Wenxu spread his hands and said, “I’m very curious, where did Liu Haoyu find this young girl? This is someone from the 1980s! If word got out, the entire scientific community would explode.”
“Can’t you be quiet for a moment?”
Deng Xiaolin glared at Chang Wenxu and said.
“If others knew about this, they might capture Qin Liu and dissect her for research.”
“Don’t worry, even if they grab her, the protection those researchers give to unique specimens is not bragging… even if she’s as thin as a string bean, they can still bring her back… well, maybe not in her current state.”
Deng Xiaolin, who was a bit angry before, became a little downcast after hearing this.
“Is there really no way?”
“Well… all I can do is help you pay for the medical expenses. I can’t help much with the rest of the methods.” Speaking of this, Chang Wenxu couldn’t help but sigh, “Originally, I transferred the best doctors from the central hospital to save myself, but I haven’t even enjoyed it myself… I’ve also been fed dog food… sigh~”
After speaking, Chang Wenxu leaned on his crutches and limped away.
At the same time, inside the ward, Qin Liu lay on the bed.
She rarely spoke normally, and now she was even quieter.
“By the way,” Qin Liu asked after a long silence, “where is your father?”
“He… is still at Ye Shangfeng.”
Liu Haoyu’s expression was a little dim.
“Old Master Wu also unfortunately passed away.”
“Is that so…”
Qin Liu said in a soft voice.
“Your father will be alright.”
As she spoke, the young girl revealed a very cute smile.
Although she was the one who was seriously ill, this smile seemed to heal Liu Haoyu’s almost shattered heart during this time.
“Cough, cough, cough!”
But before they could talk for long, Qin Liu began to cough violently.
Seeing this, Liu Haoyu quickly put an oxygen mask on her, which helped her improve slightly.
After catching her breath, the young girl said apologetically,
“I’m sorry… if only I could be like a normal person…”
“No need to apologize.”
Liu Haoyu shook his head.
Qin Liu had saved him so many times; now he had to find a way to repay her.
“You just need to rest well. I will find a way.”
“Don’t forget our promise, I will definitely not let you die.”
“Actually…” Qin Liu was very clear about her physical condition, but looking at Liu Haoyu’s eyes, she held back all those words and just nodded, replying with a single word.
“Mmm…”
Liu Haoyu gently stroked Qin Liu’s face. Qin Liu also reached out, placed her hand on top of Liu Haoyu’s, and softly said,
“You too, you must live on well…”
After speaking, Qin Liu closed her eyes again.
Liu Haoyu was startled and quickly looked at the instruments behind the bed. After confirming there were no problems, he breathed a sigh of relief.
She had merely fallen asleep.
Liu Haoyu stood up, took out the Black Book, bit his finger, and wrote a line on it.
“Is there no way to save Qin Liu?”
This was already countless times Liu Haoyu had asked this question.
The Black Book remained silent. Perhaps it also did not want to completely destroy Liu Haoyu’s hope.
Qin Liu’s soul power was exceptionally strong; she could only use self-sealing methods to remain in the Human World.
Once she died, she would fall into the Underworld and could never return.
This was completely different from the situation back then, when Qin Liu entered the Underworld with her physical body and fought her way back to the Human World.
If a person had already died, their soul would be bound by the laws of the world. The stronger the person, the more difficult it was to return.
Even the King of Rebirth could only attach himself to a book to come to the Human World.
But Qin Liu… could not do that.
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s increasingly dejected expression, the Black Book, which had been silent for a long time, finally reacted.
Lines of blood characters appeared on it.
“Before answering your question, I can responsibly tell you,”
“As things stand, all struggles seem futile,”
“Perhaps everything you do next will only prolong Qin Liu’s suffering, and you won’t be able to save her from the root cause.”
“If you must extend Qin Liu’s life, I have a method, but the dangerous situation you will face next may be even more terrifying than at the beginning.”
“But that can only be considered a method that is not a method.”
“Drinking poison to quench thirst, it cannot be cured.”
“Therefore, for you, giving up is true salvation…”
Before the Black Book finished writing, Liu Haoyu wrote on it.
“Give me the method.”
