White Bone Evolution Guide

Chapter 19 The Man Who Gets a Free Hospital Visit

The White Bone Demon's bedroom.

A faceless photograph, a strand of red thread.

Gray threads emerged, resembling tentacles, but their presence was very faint.

After all, it's just a means of predation and a medium for storing power; without the body to replenish it, it can't last long.

It's been so long, and it hasn't been completely depleted, all thanks to Gu Bai maintaining it.

The red thread, as scarlet as blood, resembled a worm and was still wriggling.

It climbed onto the photo and began to absorb the yang and yin energies within it.

Popsicle battles ice cream!

The White Bone Demon sat to the side, watching this epic battle.

The crimson threads, drawing energy from the photograph, began to split and extend into even more threads.

Upon closer inspection, these new silk threads were found to be threads of both yang and yin energy.

"This popsicle is something else."

The White Bone Demon was pleasantly surprised.

The old popsicle absorbed yang energy and silk threads, and what it split off was also yang energy and silk threads, so nothing was wasted.

The taste is a bit off, but the effect is not bad.

"Wait, that's not right. The smell of this popsicle is actually getting sweeter..."

The White Bone Demon scratched her head. Could it be that eating ice cream upgraded the old popsicle?

When all the energy in a photograph is used up, it quickly fades and turns to ashes.

The old popsicle has grown ten strands, red and blue.

Red represents yang energy, and cyan represents yin energy.

The aroma is richer now, with the scent of ice cream, the taste of old-fashioned popsicles, and a unique fragrance, like medicinal herbs.

When the bone meal was placed on the silk thread, it immediately became docile and was then placed into a wooden box.

Not bad, I can control it myself, it will become a new granary in the future.

……

early morning.

Public Security Bureau.

Chen Ming rubbed his eyes and said incredulously, "It's been detected. The mycelium brought back from the top of Laoshan Mountain last night is unique."

"Unique mycelium?" Zhang Yu asked. "What's wrong with your expression? Have you seen a ghost?"

"This is truly bizarre," Chen Ming said seriously. "Last night I put the mycelium and the mosquito-man's corpse together, and guess what happened?"

"What?" Zhang Yu asked curiously.

"The mosquitoes have been completely eaten, leaving only empty shells, while the mycelium you brought back has turned blue and multiplied into a clump, feeling cold to the touch."

Chen Ming said solemnly, "This icy aura... the ghost medium was like this before."

"So, this mycelium is also a medium for ghost hunting?" Zhang Yu asked.

"It can't be considered a medium. This thing doesn't have the ability to actively commit murder; its lethality is so great that it can't even break the skin of a living creature."

Chen Ming explained, "I also used a chicken for the experiment. The chicken was fine; in fact, it became stronger. Its bones became at least twice as hard, and it almost ruined my scalpel."

"What?" Zhang Yu jumped to his feet. "Could this mycelium be a medicinal herb?"

"There's another problem. The chicken turned ice cold. I've already sent it to Captain Li. She knows more about ghosts than we do."

As Chen Ming was speaking, his phone rang: "Team Leader Li said she went over tonight, and now they've caught the intermediary and gone to Dalu Temple."

"Dalu Temple? What are we going there for?"

Chen Ming said, "The media is targeting the woman who released the animals, saying that she saw a Bodhisattva. They went to the temple to see if the ghost was hiding there."

"Okay, I have something to do this afternoon, but I'll take some people to the top of Laoshan Mountain tonight."

Zhang Yu stood up and yawned: "I hope it's medicinal herbs so I can improve my condition. I really can't keep going like this."

"Who says otherwise, sigh." Chen Ming said, sporting dark circles under his eyes.

……

in the afternoon.

Gu Bai and Zhang Yu, dressed in casual clothes, arrived at the hospital, which was still packed with people.

"What's going on over there?"

As soon as I arrived at the inpatient building, a group of people were gathered downstairs, looking up at me.

"Hey bro, what's bothering you? Tell me, I'll try to cheer you up."

"Yes, you're so young, what difficulties could you possibly be facing? I still have hope even with cancer."

"It's not that bad, young man. You're quite a handsome guy. If your wife ran away, I'll introduce you to my girlfriend. I guarantee she won't run away. Just be gentle when you use her, don't let her explode."

The kind-hearted people downstairs were all trying to persuade the young man upstairs.

"Help!" Zhang Yu rushed over. "I'm a police officer. Everyone, please disperse. Young man upstairs, think of your family and friends..."

The wind was too strong, so the people upstairs might not be able to hear it, or they might simply not want to hear it at all.

A hemp rope hung down from the fifth floor.

A strong young man grabbed the rope and jumped down.

The people downstairs were so frightened that they closed their eyes, and some even ran away.

bang bang...

A strong young man fell from the sky, crashing heavily into an open window on the fourth floor. He tumbled down, but luckily he held on tightly to the rope, preventing a direct fall. Instead, he crashed into the third floor, then the second floor...

With a thud, he landed face down on the ground.

"Quickly, start treatment!"

Two doctors who had been waiting for a long time quickly stepped forward to check if there was any need for further treatment.

Zhang Yu stared blankly at the scene, ultimately unable to persuade the suicidal young man to come back.

They won't listen to any advice!

To everyone's surprise, the young man's fingers trembled as he struggled to sit up, supporting himself on the ground.

He wiped the blood from his face and reached out to an older man next to him: "Can I borrow a cigarette?"

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then subconsciously handed over the cigarette.

The young man lit a cigarette, took a puff with a melancholy expression, and remained silent as the doctor examined him and wiped away the bloodstains.

"Are you... are you alright?" Zhang Yu's face twitched; this person seemed a little too calm.

"It's alright. I learned breathing techniques at three, strengthened my muscles and bones at eight, achieved some minor success at twelve, and became an expert at eighteen. A mere stumble is nothing to worry about."

The young man casually wiped away the blood and prepared to get up: "If there's nothing else, I'll go buy some cigarettes. You guys go ahead with your business."

The two doctors were nearly scared to death and quickly pressed him down, saying, "Don't go yet, let's examine him, let's examine him."

Zhang Yu: "??"

That voice sounds familiar.

Gu Bai walked over, squatted down beside him, and said wistfully, "You really have a lot to do."

"Bai, Brother Bai, what brings you here?" Guo Jin looked at him with surprise.

"I brought Zhang Zhian to see you." Gu Bai glanced at Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu rubbed his temples: "I don't think it's necessary."

He really doesn't dare to use this person.

Don't pay out insurance money before you even encounter anything strange.

Will it be considered suicide or death in the line of duty?

Guo Jin looked at Zhang Yu excitedly. "Brother Bai is reliable! He really introduced Zhang Zhian to me."

"Carry it inside," Gu Bai waved his hand.

The two doctors were also dismayed: "We can't get in; it's all full."

"It's nothing serious, we're all straightforward people, the bone will be back in place." Guo Jin waved his hand, glanced at Zhang Yu, puffed out his chest, exuding masculinity, lit another cigarette, and calmly said, "I can handle it."

The two doctors remained silent for a long time before looking at Gu Bai: "Why don't you take him back? It's not a big problem anyway. We'll give him a full refund of the hospital fees, consider it a favor."

They were genuinely worried that if they stayed any longer, Guo Jin would die here.

A simple fracture, and the person died in the hospital. Does this reputation even matter anymore?

"Great! I'm finally being discharged!" Guo Jin exclaimed with joy.

Gu Bai and Zhang Yu: "..."

Your discharge method was quite unique, huh?

As it turns out, Guo Jin was indeed difficult to kill. He jumped from the fifth floor and, apart from a bruised face and some blood, only suffered a broken bone. After being pulled back down, he crawled quite quickly.

For a moment, Gu Bai was confused about who the White Bone Demon really was.

The crowd dispersed, and Zhang Yu borrowed a wheelchair and pushed him around.

"Why would you jump off a building if you were perfectly fine?" Gu Bai asked.

"I'm out of cigarettes, the place is full, and going downstairs is too much trouble. Luckily, I saw a rope. With my skills, climbing down the rope should be a piece of cake, right?"

"Less than a minute, to be precise, you only used thirty-four seconds," Zhang Yu said calmly.

"Then how did you get hurt like this?" Gu Bai asked.

"I calculated the altitude, but I didn't expect the wind to be this strong today..."
