123: Chapter 123 Xiao Sinian, Hold On
"Uncle Wang, quick, come and check on him!" Qi Yin shouted loudly as she carried Xiao Sinian horizontally in her arms and gently placed him on the leather sofa.
She had always been calm and calculated in everything she did; this was the first time everyone had seen her lose her composure like this.
It seemed that Xiao Sinian's problem was no small matter.
Wang Tianyu's Supernatural Ability had been nearly exhausted just now, but he didn't care about resting. He swallowed a recovery agent and began diagnosing Xiao Sinian once more.
The further he probed, the tighter his brow furrowed.
Something wasn't right. Why was there absolutely nothing wrong with his body?
But if there was no problem, why would he suddenly fall into an unconscious state?
As the minutes and seconds ticked by, everyone was pacing anxiously. Two people had just collapsed, and now, turning around, their leader was almost gone.
Meng Xichi dismissed the patrol soldiers near the villa and came back inside. Seeing the unconscious Xiao Sinian on the sofa, his expression became exceptionally grave.
"The surrounding area is all our people. I think we shouldn't spread the word about the Boss's injury for the time being."
Qi Yin sat crouched on the floor, staring silently at the pale-faced Xiao Sinian, subconsciously biting her lips hard.
"Uncle Wang, how is it? I checked with Spiritual power earlier; there's nothing wrong with his body."
The strangeness lay exactly there.
Wang Tianyu shook his head and withdrew his hand with regret, looking apologetic: "I... can't find the cause either."
But being unable to find the problem was the biggest problem of all; there was no way to prescribe the right medicine.
At that moment, Lu Jinwen came running downstairs in a hurry, pulling two identical little girls along.
Seeing them, Qi Yin could only pin her dying hopes on them once again.
She stood up and made room for Li Shi and Li Yun: "You two try using your Light-based Superpower to see if it helps."
To everyone's surprise, Li Shi and Li Yun stopped three meters away from Xiao Sinian, covering their small noses with their hands as if they had smelled something foul.
At this, Qi Yin couldn't help but twitch the corner of her lips.
It seemed her guess was correct; there was hope.
Li Shi leaned closer to Qi Yin, "Sister, what is that thing on Brother Si Nian? It stinks so much!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Stink? They hadn't smelled anything at all.
Seeing that the others clearly didn't believe them, Li Yun quickly nodded to back up her sister.
"It's true. The aura on Brother Si Nian makes people feel very uncomfortable, like my whole body is itching."
This was the first time they had encountered this, and they truly didn't understand what was going on.
Lu Jinwen spread her hands: "But we really don't smell anything."
They were confused, but Qi Yin understood perfectly.
As the antithesis of darkness, Li Shi and Li Yun's perception of dark energy far exceeded that of ordinary Ability Users. This perhaps meant that their Supernatural Ability could expel dark energy.
If Xiao Sinian was to get better, it had to be them.
Qi Yin patted the backs of the two little ones' hands to comfort them: "I believe you. Come with me."
Then, she bent down and easily picked up the over-190cm Xiao Sinian in a horizontal carry, heading straight for his bedroom without looking back.
Everyone knew their place; some took care of the other patients while others performed their duties, though they frequently glanced toward the "sickroom."
On the large bed in the bedroom, which was decorated in a black, white, and gray European style, Xiao Sinian's face was gradually turning a grayish-white. His brow was furrowed so tightly it looked like it could squeeze out water, causing Qi Yin to subconsciously clench her fists.
Li Shi and Li Yun stood at the foot of the bed, their small hands nervously clutching their clothes, their faces filled with unease.
They hadn't lied, but they didn't know exactly what their sister wanted them to do by calling them here.
It couldn't be that Sister was angry because they said Brother Si Nian smelled, right? After all, she cared about Brother Si Nian so much...
"Sister, we... we didn't mean to say Brother Si Nian stinks..." Li Yun's voice was as small as a mosquito's. Looking at the weakening Xiao Sinian on the bed, her eyes turned a bit red.
Qi Yin tucked Xiao Sinian in and tried her best to suppress the anxiety in her heart, making her voice sound steady.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not blaming you. I called you here because perhaps only you can help him."
She pointed at Xiao Sinian: "Try using your Supernatural Ability to see if you can see exactly where on him it stinks."
The place Li Shi and Li Yun called 'stinky' should be where the Darkness Power was hiding.
Only by finding this location could they expel the dark energy and allow Xiao Sinian to wake up.
When the two little ones heard this, as long as they weren't being kicked out, they would have no problem helping Xiao Sinian, even if it meant going through fire and water.
Li Shi was a bit bolder. She stepped forward, tried to concentrate her mind, and reached out her hand, hovering it directly over Xiao Sinian's body.
A few seconds later, she suddenly pulled her hand back, her face turning slightly pale.
"I... I felt it. That thing is very disgusting, a black clump, and it's burrowing toward Brother Si Nian's lower abdomen."
Her description wasn't very accurate, but that instinctive sense of loathing was very real.
Li Yun also sensed it following her sister's example, "Mm-hmm, it makes one feel very uncomfortable."
"Yes, that's the one." Qi Yin felt as if she had found hope. Since the two little ones could feel it, things would be much easier from here.
However, the two little ones hadn't officially used their Supernatural Ability yet and still needed guidance.
Her eyes held encouragement and a hint of a hard-to-detect plea.
"Xiao Shi, Xiao Yun, try using your light to find it. See if you can make it melt or drive it away..."
To be honest, she could handle other things, but she had never come into contact with a Light-based Superpower. She could only guide them based on intuition; after all, this was currently the only hope.
Li Shi and Li Yun exchanged a glance, plucked up their courage, and stood on opposite sides of the bed.
They closed their eyes and tried hard to concentrate.
At first, there was no change, and only sweat could be seen seeping from their small noses.
Qi Yin's heart sank bit by bit. In her hand, she had already prepared recovery agents to replenish their energy.
A soft white light began to appear in the palms of the two little ones. It was very faint, yet it carried an indescribable purity and warmth, dispelling part of the chill in the bedroom and even smoothing out some of Qi Yin's internal anxiety.
They looked at each other and tentatively brought their glowing palms slowly toward Xiao Sinian's abdomen.
Sizzle!
The moment the warm light made contact, the unconscious Xiao Sinian's body jerked, and a muffled, suppressed groan escaped his throat.
His lower abdomen rose and fell continuously, as if something inside was searching for a way out. The white light in Li Shi and Li Yun's hands also seemed to have encountered an enemy, nearly extinguishing after flickering violently.
There's hope! Qi Yin's eyes lit up.
"Hold on!" she barked in a low voice, her heart in her throat.
Xiao Sinian was covered in cold sweat, and the veins on his forehead and arms were bulging, clearly enduring immense pain.
Qi Yin's heart twitched as she watched. Xiao Sinian, hang in there. You even dared to swallow a crystal core tainted with the virus; you must hold on through this little bit of pain.
"Master, the little girls can't hold out much longer. You can try transferring your own Supernatural Ability to them," Xiao Bai shouted from within the space.
Qi Yin was stunned. "My Supernatural Ability? They can use it?"
Xiao Bai was chasing the little chick that Xiao Yu had just raised: "Of course they can! This is a unique talent of Light-based Superpower users!"
