Chapter 136: Torture Is An Art

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

Li Xianyu was new to this place and didn’t know anyone from the Changsha branch. Li Xianyu called You Mengyu, who was still sleeping. She replied groggily, her voice sounding adorable.

“I’m awake and I want to see King Jiji, but I have to get approval before I enter the intensive care unit.” Li Xianyu heard the weakness in her voice/ “Are your injuries serious, should I give you a shot?”

You Mengyu resolutely refused. “The pain made me strong, and the pain made me hopeful about life. Wait a minute. I’ll help you contact them.”

A moment later, the door of the ward at the other end of the corridor opened. You Mengyu donned in patient garb, walked out, fatigue on her face. She smiled as she waved at Li Xianyu a dozen meters away.

You Mengyu was only a reserve member. If Li Xianyu has no authority, she had even less. You Mengyu first contacted the superiors of the Yucheng division and then they communicated with the Changsha division.

After more than 10 minutes, they were granted permission. They took the elevator upstairs and first went to find the Chief Physician of God of Apes. They then waited several minutes for the head of the Changsha branch to join them in the intensive care unit.

With the God of Apes, a S-class employee who was critically injured and dying, the Changsha branch could not have allowed two newbie recruits to enter the special ward alone, even with assurances from the superiors of Yucheng.

Two senior staff from the Changsha division were guarding the door outside. They were notified, as they nodded and opened the door to let them in.

When Li Xianyu entered the ward and the door closed, he heard the two senior employees mutter, “So he’s the Li family descendant. He looks more delicate compared to how he looked in the video.

“He doesn’t look like a very powerful guy.”

The heavy door closed, isolating the sound outside the room.

There was only a specially-made bed in the room, with a massive white ape lying on the bed. Infusion tubes were stuck in its thick hairs, and there were many medical equipment on the side.

“Wow, the God of Apes’ original form. This is the first time I’m seeing it!” You Mengyu exclaimed excitedly.

Her memories were stuck in the moment when Li Xianyu forced her sister to emerge with one cut of his blade. After that, she became unconscious, and it had always been You Mingyu who was in the battle.

Li Xianyu stood by his hospital bed, and resisted the urge to take out his mobile phone to take pictures. He shouldn’t find court trouble, otherwise King Jiji would hammer him to death when he woke up.

“How’s King Jiji?” he asked.

“His life signs are stable for the moment but it’s only temporary. The Chief Physician said, “When he came to the emergency rescue, all his organs were failing and he would die at any time. When he was diagnosed, we discovered that not his essence and blood were exhausted, his qi was too. If he was another demon descendant, we would be ready to issue an obituary.”

“All of our medical surgeons and internal medical experts held three hours of meetings, and we even consulted professional veterinarians. Everyone was committed to this and worked hard to save his life.” The Chief Physician lamented, “But we only managed to save his life. His qi is going to go down a lot in the future. It’s up to the God of Apes’ fate if he can return to S-class.”

The head of the Changsha branch said, “We’re ready to wait for him to stabilize and send him to the headquarters, and the Four Divine Physicians should have a way. But the Yucheng branch said, you should have a way to heal the God of Apes’ wounds?”

The Chief Physician immediately looked at Li Xianyu, and instinct told him that the young man was not a doctor. He was well aware of the God of Apes’ poor physical condition, and that he wanted to see how the young man operated, out of his doctor’s instincts.

There were many talents in the demon descendants community. Although this young man was not in the same line of work, he may have mastered the secret techniques of traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and moxibustion.

He was able to learn by watching and to reason by analogy.

As he thought, he saw Li Xianyu take out a disposable syringe skillfully and, with a stern look, plunged into his waist.

A tube of deep red blood was pumped out.

“Why didn’t you plunge it into your arm?” You Mengyu asked

“If it was Xia Xiaoxue, she would have had an epiphany by now,” Li Xianyu replied and headed towards the God of Apes.

You Mengyu followed gingerly, “What do you mean?”

Li Xianyu injected the blood into the God of Apes’ carotid artery, explaining, “A drop of essence is equivalent to 10 drops of blood. The blood at the waist is the most valuable. You’re not old enough to know about this.”

As one asked and one answered, the Chief Physician felt his beliefs shaking.

After a dozen seconds, the God of Apes coughed violently. He, who was in a coma, finally showed signs of awakening.

“Oh, I forgot to remove his stitches. Remove the tubes too, or else it’ll stop the cells from healing.”

The person in charge of the Changsha branch was shocked. He lifted You Mengyu as if lifting a chick and didn’t let her remove the tubes. He declared solemnly, “You have to give me a reasonable explanation.”

In his view, what the two were about to do was equivalent to murder.

The Chief Physician stopped Li Xianyu and frowned. “Do you know what pulling a tube means? You’re really an outsider.”

Li Xianyu explained, “My blood has healing abilities. It’s a secret. I don’t tell ordinary people about this.”

You Mengyu’s whose legs were hanging in the air, said “Mhm,” and nodded her head like a woodpecker.

The head of the Changsha branch and the chief physician looked at each other, the former saying, “You go out first. I want to speak to the Yucheng branch.”

The company had taken confidentiality measures in relation to this small secret of Li Xianyu. Thus the Yucheng branch did not reveal this. Li Xianyu himself could say this, but they could not.

“Old Shen, it’s okay. Do what they say.” The God of Apes opened his eyes and his voice was hoarse.

“You’re really okay?” The head of the Changsha division let go of You Mengyu skeptically.

After the tubes were pulled out, the Chief Physician removed the suture from the surgical wounds on him, as the God of Apes suggested. In these few minutes, the doctor’s beliefs shook violently, and finally collapsed after seeing the God of Apes’ wounds recover.

“This… Why do you need us doctors for?” The Chief Physician suffered a huge blow.

“I don’t give blood for free, and I get a bonus every time I give it.” Li Xianyu comforted, “So you doctors are still useful.”

The God of Apes regained his rationality, and the healing of the wounds made him itch. He, like a large, unsanitary gorilla scratched at his ears and cheeks. Li Xianyu’s impression of him being dignified and solemn had utterly shattered.

After transforming into their original form, animal instinct went beyond reason.

Li Xianyu’s brain short-circuited and commented, “King Jiji, would you like a banana? I have it in my ward.”

The God of Apes froze in the middle of scratching his face.

The air went quiet, and the head of the Changsha branch coughed and said, “Scalpel, help examine the God of Apes’ physical condition.”

Scalpel was the Chief Physician’s title, because he is good at surgery and thus given a casual title by Mo Fei.

Even if Mo Fei was a self-proclaimed brilliant naming genius, she was often frustrated by an exhaustion of creativity. Mo Fei had to give titles personally to staff who were ranked above mid-level.

Scalpel was a more normal title, and many employees in the medical department often feel ashamed and troubled about their titles.

Some of them were called Bandages, some were called Gauze, some are called Catgut. One could find the corresponding employee for all medical equipment and materials.

The God of Apes waved his hands to signal that he didn’t need it. He replied coldly, “I don’t want to eat bananas, but I want to see you eat bananas.”

Li Xianyu was speechless.

A few minutes later, Li Xianyu ate the banana that You Mengyu brought from downstairs, listening to the head of the Changsha branch and the God of Apes talk about the mission. You Mengyu switched on the television programme and sat on the couch not far away to watch Animal World.

The Chief Physician had left, and dropped a sentence forlornly, “I need to rebuild my beliefs.”

Before he left, he took five milliliters of blood from Li Xianyu and went back to study it.

Baoze Group headquarters did not manage to figure out the secret of Li Xianyu’s blood. However, they concluded that the cell activity was far better than that of ordinary people, which was a useless conclusion.

Li Xianyu knew how tempting his blood was for a medical practitioner, and he showed sympathy to Scalpel, whose beliefs were shaken. Thus, he gave his blood to him.

“Punishment has been meted out by the headquarters, and all those involved in the siege of our company, whether they are scattered cultivator or a member from the great family clans, will be sentenced to death.” The head of the Changsha branch remarked exasperatedly, “I’ve dismissed all those people who want bail these days.”

The God of Apes frowned. “Lightning King is too extreme.”

Old Shen smirked coldly. “So many senior employees have died this time. If we don’t punish them severely, how can we account to our employees across the country?”

“How about Fu Shan?”

“She was detained for a month, but her family was released on bail.”

“Golden Boy and Jade Girl?”

“They’re still alive, as the top players on the list have a lot of research value. Furthermore, the Equipment Department has come out to protect them.”

“Any progress on the Puppet Program?”

Glancing at Li Xianyu and You Mengyu, Old Shen nodded slightly and changed the topic, “God of War and Li Peiyun have escaped but there are other forces behind them.”

The God of Apes moved his thick fingers unconsciously. This was a physical habit when he was thinking. The last time he hunted God of Apes and Li Peiyun, he felt that the other party was not only backed by a power, but it was also very cunning and not to be underestimated.

“Which family would you say it would be?” Old Shen chuckled eerily.

The God of Apes was about to speak but suddenly said in annoyance, “You Mengyu, don’t look at these things that are inappropriate for children. I’m talking business.”

The sound rang from the television. “We found that the mountain gorilla population has a serious reproductive phenomenon of in-breeding. Through a few sets of complete genetic sequencing, the higher the degree of reproduction, the greater the probability that the individual gorilla will inherit harmful genetic mutations from both parents, and the higher the risk of genetic disease. But the results of the study were surprising. These mountain gorillas carry few harmful sudden genes, and in order to uncover the truth, we have come to the place where the mountain gorillas live…”

On the television, there were two mountain gorillas engaging in sexual activity openly.

The God of Apes was agitated. “Switch it off.”

You Mengyu was startled, and changed the channel, feeling aggrieved.

Li Xianyu was speechless.

After a moment of thought, Li Xianyu suddenly understood King Jiji’s agitation when he saw the white ape lying in bed.

King Jiji was a serious ape, and of course a serious ape can’t stand the open broadcast of a M-18 programme like Animal World when he is talking about business.

Old Shen coughed and changed the subject hurriedly. “We have captured the Blood Devil and White Robe, but the two are very arrogant. They are unafraid of death and are unwilling to reveal any information.”

The God of Apes snorted coldly. “The fact that they didn’t kill themselves mean they still have survival instincts.”

Old Shen replied, “Not daring to kill themselves doesn’t mean not fearing death. They’ve been through two whole days of torture, but still refuse to say anything.”

The blood vessels on Li Xianyu’s left arm suddenly lit up, and Slime chuckled coldly. “Torture is an art, stupid humans.”

It sounded exactly like Li Xianyu.

The God of Apes and Old Shen looked at Li Xianyu with their brows furrowed. “What did you say?”
