Chapter 713: Miracle
Editor: Modlawls123
The night became darker and darker, and every second that passed, Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er came closer to death. Every second that passed, the god of death could descend on them. Facing the god of death, no matter how powerful Ling Chen was, he could only despair. All he could do was silently stand in front of Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er’s beds, looking down at them.
“Ling Chen.”
As a voice called out, the tightly-closed door was suddenly opened. Shadissika stood at the entrance, sweetly smiling at the despairing Ling Chen. Her appearing here greatly shocked Ling Chen, and he hurriedly ran over and blocked in front of her. “Sha Sha, immediately leave this place. It’s too dangerous here... where are Dia Wu and Ying and Xi? Why didn’t they stop you?”
“It has nothing to do with big sister Dia Wu and the others,” Shadissika said as she smiled. She was completely different to how she had been just then. She stretched out her hand towards Ling Chen, and within it was the bottle that contained the Fairy Fountain water. “Ling Chen, if you give this to Meng Xin and Su Su to drink, they’ll immediately get better.”
Shadissika’s straightforward words shocked Ling Chen. “What... is this?”
“It’s something that can cure these 2 big sisters. Ling Chen will know after giving it to them to drink.” Shadissika grabbed Ling Chen’s hand and placed the bottle into it.
Ling Chen’s eyes jumped, but it was not out of joy. This girl was incredibly pure and innocent, and Ling Chen believed that she would not lie. However, the words she said were simply too shocking, and he simply couldn’t believe them... because apart from the Mad Scientist, there was nobody in the world who could cure the Isrock Disease. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have despaired so much. How could this girl, who he had brought out from the virtual world, be able to cure this world’s most terrifying sickness?
“Ling Chen, it’s true. It really can save these 2 big sisters. As long as they drink it, they’ll wake up soon and be fine.” Shadissika knew that Ling Chen would naturally be skeptical, but she smiled and stared at him without blinking, seeming incredibly confident.
“Alright...”
Although he simply couldn’t believe it didn’t have any hope, Ling Chen couldn’t resist the look in Shadissika’s eyes. Moreover, since Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er were already in desperate straits, he had no reason not to try no matter how impossible it sounded. Ling Chen picked up the bottle and walked over to Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er’s beds, feeding them the contents with his mouth.
“This is the hope that Sha Sha gave us... I hope that a miracle really can happen.” Ling Chen stood up and softly said. He then turned and said to Shadissika, “Alright, Sha Sha, go and rest. You’re not allowed to come here again, alright?”
“Mm, got it,” Shadissika clearly replied, a cute smile still on her face as she said seriously, “Can I make a promise with Ling Chen?”
“Promise?”
“Mm!” Shadissika lightly nodded, her eyes sparkling, “Big sister Meng Xin and big sister Su Su will get better soon, but Ling Chen can’t tell anyone that they got better because of me, alright?”
Ling Chen felt like smiling, but he couldn’t smile. He didn’t ask anything and just nodded. “Alright, I’ll definitely keep this promise.”
Shadissika softly left, and the moment the door closed, Ling Chen felt quite perplexed: With Dia Wu, Chao Ying, Chao Xi, and Yao Ying around, it was impossible for Sha Sha to come here. If Sha Sha was determined to come, they would have definitely stopped her. Even if she wanted to secretly come, she wouldn’t have been able to escape their senses. And yet, Shadissika had come here all alone.
However, this thought only flashed in Ling Chen’s mind, and he did not pay it much mind. He raised his head and looked outside, hearing Sha Sha’s footsteps get further and further away, until he heard her open and close the living room door. He let out a light breath, and he clenched his fists...
Isrock Disease... why did such a terrifying thing exist in the world? All of the nightmares in his lifetime had come from it.
If there were a way to make it disappear from the world forever, Ling Chen was willing to do anything to get rid of it simply because he couldn’t endure this nightmare anymore.
Ever since the Isrock Disease appeared, hundreds of millions of people had died because of it. It was Ling Chen’s and the entire world’s worst nightmare. Ling Chen hated the Isrock Disease more than anything else, and today, his hatred rose to the extreme. Now, his entire mind was overshadowed by the terror of the Isrock Disease.
A very weak gasp sounded out, and although it was incredibly quiet, it sounded like a peal of thunder in Ling Chen’s ears. The source of the sound was Su’Er. Ling Chen rushed over to Su’Er’s bed and stared at her as he called out, “Su Su? Su Su?”
As Ling Chen called out and stared in disbelief, Su’Er’s hazy eyes slowly opened, and her bright gaze pierced into his heart, causing all of the cells in his body to tremble... because although Su’Er’s gaze was hazy, it was because of sleepiness not sickness. After opening her eyes, her eyes became clearer, and a red glow appeared on her originally pale face.
“Big brother Ling Tian, is it really you...” Su’Er muttered as she dumbly stared at Ling Chen, feeling as if she hadn’t woken up yet.
“It’s me, it’s really me. I’m right here,” Ling Chen hurriedly held her hand, letting her feel his existence as he spoke in a trembling voice. Su’Er’s body had always been quite weak, and she had been unconscious the entire time, unable to wake up. As the Isrock Disease developed more and more, she would only fall into a deeper and deeper sleep until she died. However, she had woken up, and she could see him and speak clearly...
“Big brother Ling Tian!” When Ling Chen became clearer and she felt the warmth in her hands, Su’Er finally realised that she wasn’t in a dream. She suddenly leapt up and hugged him, and she pressed her head tightly against his chest as her body lightly quivered. “This is great... This is great... I just had a terrifying nightmare... I fell into a very dark hole, and I thought I would never be able to see big brother Ling Tian again... wuu... I knew that was just a dream... wuu...”
After speaking, Su’Er couldn’t help but sob, wetting the front of Ling Chen’s shirt.
The figure in his embrace was soft and warm, and the arms around him held onto him tightly, as if she was afraid that he would run off the instant she let go. Ling Chen stood there, feeling dumbstruck. Now, it was his turn to wonder if he was in a dream.
After being infected with the Isrock Disease, one wouldn’t even have the ability to stand up, and this was even more so for Su’Er, who had just been infected by a highly-active Isrock Disease! And yet, Su’Er was able to quickly get up and hug him... this sort of strength was not something that someone with the Isrock Disease had!
“Su Su, you... you...” Ling Chen was filled with shock and joy to the point that even though his mind was much more agile than normal people’s, he couldn’t say a single word for a long time. “A-Are you feeling any discomfort anywhere?”
Su’Er lightly shook her head, which was still pressed against his chest, as she sniffled. When she had contracted the Isrock Disease, she had fallen unconscious, and she had only just woken up. She didn’t know anything that had happened in between – in fact, she most likely didn’t even know that she had contracted the Isrock Disease.
“Ling Chen... Su’Er?”
A hazy and uncertain voice sounded out from behind Ling Chen’s back. Ling Chen turned around and saw that the previously unconscious Yun Meng Xin was now sitting up, staring at him and Su’Er. The paleness that could cause anyone’s heart to ache was gone from her face, and it had returned to the snow-white complexion that had a healthy red glow that Ling Chen was familiar with. Her eyes were no longer dim, and they had that familiar brightness within them.
A burning feeling quickly spread out from Ling Chen’s chest, extending to his entire body. He deeply breathed in, and he let go of Su’Er as he quickly rushed to the door and pulled it open, yelling, “Ying, hurry up and come over!!”
Ling Chen’s excited shout caused Yao Ying to immediately respond. She directly jumped down from the second level balcony and ran towards where Ling Chen was. Dia Wu, Xiao Qi, Chao Ying, and Chao Xi all quickly followed.
The atmosphere in the room was no longer dark and gloomy, and Yao Ying stared up the equipment from the Mad Scientist, checking both Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er’s bodies. By now, Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er had already gotten out of bed and were standing there like normal, not looking weak at all. When everyone saw them, they were completely flabbergasted.
The results also completely shocked Yao Ying.
“Heavens... this is simply unbelievable!!” Yao Ying shouted in shock. Of course, there was joy in her voice, but it was greatly exceeded by her shock. “All traces of the Isrock Disease have vanished from their bodies... no, accurately speaking, all harmful viruses and bacteria are gone from their bodies.” She looked at Ling Chen with a burning gaze. “Master, just what did you do? This is an incredible miracle!!”
Ling Chen: “......”
“It’s completely gone? Completely gone? With nothing left?” Xiao Qi excitedly grabbed at the corners of Yao Ying’s clothes as she pinched herself... the pain told her that this was not a dream, but she simply couldn’t believe that this was real.
“It’s true! Definitely! Completely! Absolutely! Not only that, all of their bodies’ physiological functions have recovered; even I can’t believe it! However, all of this is real!” Yao Ying rapidly nodded. Wasn’t Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er, who were standing right there, the best evidence?
Ling Chen did not say anything. Looking at Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er, who looked completely fine, he was so excited that he couldn’t say anything. Hearing Yao Ying’s words, Shadissika’s small figure flashed in his mind.
It was Sha Sha! It was because of that bottle she had given him!
Ling Chen subconsciously looked towards the door, and he saw Sha Sha standing there. Meeting Ling Chen’s gaze, she giggled and blinked at him. Ling Chen immediately realised what she was trying to say: Don’t forget about our promise!
“I think that it’s because of the medicine I gave them to drink before,” Ling Chen said before letting out a long breath. “I thought that the medicine hadn’t worked, but it now seems that it just needed some time to take effect. We were all scared needlessly.” After saying this, he wiped the sweat off his forehead and gently said, “Meng Xin, Su Su, welcome back.”
“No less expected from master, amazing!” Yao Ying looked at him in admiration and worship.
“I... I knew that big brother Ling Tian could do it! I knew there was nothing that big brother Ling Tian couldn’t do!” Tears were streaming out of Xiao QI’s eyes. In just a short day, she had been kicked into hell, saw a light of hope, and then kicked to hell again. Finally, that nightmare finally ended. She wiped away her tears before rushing at Yun Meng Xin and Su’Er, hugging them tightly before wailing...
