Abyss Sequence-Chapter 398 - 55: Healing

After two days of running, Yan Luo finally returned to Crimson No. 2.

However, when he passed by the checkpoint, the soldier there whispered, "Thank heavens, Yan Luo has finally come back..."

What had happened?

Yan Luo directly asked the soldier about this matter.

The soldier showed a look of surprise and retorted, "Don’t you know? Ms. Bilukova was attacked by Abyssal Believers!"

What?!

Yan Luo’s eyes widened, and without any hesitation, his figure instantly disappeared from the checkpoint and sprinted into Crimson No. 2.

He quickly ran to the hospital and asked the guide machine at the front desk where Yulia’s ward was.

[Mr. Yan, Ms. Bilukova is in the VIP ward on the sixtieth floor.]

Yan Luo headed to the elevator, and it was only then that he realized he could have contacted Sasa and the others via his personal terminal!

Thus, Yan Luo sent a message to Sasa, informing her that he was back.

[You’re finally back!]

Even in a text message, Yan Luo could tell how happy Sasa was right now.

"I’m on my way to Ms. Bilukova’s ward."

Just as Yan Luo sent the message, the elevator arrived on the sixtieth floor.

Swiftly stepping out of the elevator car, Yan Luo looked around, and two markers appeared before him, pointing respectively to the VIP ward and the care room.

This floor only had the VIP wards and care rooms, along with an attached surgical room, making it the highest standard level of the Scarlet No. 2 Hospital.

Yan Luo strode towards the ward.

At the door of the ward, Yan Luo used his own face to pass the access verification and quietly pushed the door open to enter.

Sitting in the ward, Chen Shan heard the door open, looked up, and found that it was Yan Luo who had come in, letting out a sigh of relief.

"Yan Luo, you’re finally back."

These past days, it had been him and You Yifeng taking turns to protect Yulia. Although You Yifeng was a former Abyssal Believer, trust is crucial, and since You Yifeng had joined their side and provided proof of loyalty, Wu Zechuan and Chen Shan were willing to trust You Yifeng.

You Yifeng did not betray their trust and refrained from harming Yulia.

Glancing at Yulia lying in the hospital bed with several life-support tubes attached, Yan Luo softly asked Chen Shan, "What is Ms. Bilukova’s current condition?"

Chen Shan couldn’t help but sigh, "Ms. Bilukova’s condition is not optimistic. Although her life was preserved, the assassin from the Abyssal Believers was a [Vajra] Second Rank [Arhat]. Now Ms. Bilukova has brain damage, and it’s uncertain whether she will regain consciousness. Even if she does, it’s unknown if she can retain her self-awareness or if she will lose some memory."

Yan Luo’s brows furrowed tightly, clenching his fists, "Those Abyssal Believers deserve to die!"

Yulia Ivanovna Bilyukova lived an honest life and never committed any wrongdoing. She dedicated her life to combating the Abyss, her strength and courage attracting many to join the Hunter profession.

However, such a good person was assassinated by the Abyssal Believers.

No correct answer can arise from a wrongful method, no matter what the Abyssal Believers intend to do; it has genuinely harmed the Blue Star People.

Their disruption of the combat operations led to a surge of demons emerging from the Abyss, hurting the exploration town’s residents.

And similar to Wang Xiu, who attempted to seize the Celestial Sea Li Family estate under the pretense and power of the Abyssal Believers, such incidents were endless.

Not to mention scoundrels like She Wuliang, who embezzled the compensation for Death Hunter, abound in the ranks of the Abyssal Believers.

No matter what the Abyssal Believers originally intended to do, their current actions have crossed the line and must be eradicated.

"Oh right, the Amplification Gem!"

Right at that moment, Yan Luo suddenly remembered something.

He recalled Sasa mentioning to him once that when his blood dripped onto the Amplification Gem, everyone around the gem felt immensely refreshed.

Yan Luo brought this up with Chen Shan, who was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at Yulia lying in the hospital bed.

Yan Luo was a man of action, and as soon as he thought of this, he contacted Li Jiongming immediately.

After the Scarlet No. 2 Abyss Academy was established, Li Jiongming became the acting director, and the Amplification Gem was the spoil of Yan Luo and others in theory; they had merely lent it to the Abyss Academy for research, and if needed, they could retrieve it anytime.

Now, it was even needed for saving Yulia, no matter how reluctant the Academy might be, they would deliver the Amplification Gem.

The Amplification Gem was large and couldn’t be brought in through the door, so Chen Shan left Yan Luo to guard here and went to fetch the Amplification Gem himself.

More than half an hour later, Chen Shan, clad in an exoskeleton suit, hovered in the air carrying the Amplification Gem and entered the ward through the window.

The ward’s window was a large floor-to-ceiling window that could be opened.

Yan Luo and Chen Shan placed the massive Amplification Gem beside Yulia’s hospital bed. Responding to Yan Luo’s call, the hurriedly arriving Sasa and Yevgenia also stood by.

Yan Luo used magnetic field power to tear open his skin and blood vessels, allowing the crystal-clear, ruby-like blood to drip onto the Amplification Gem, which was itself a ruby.

Whoosh!

The moment Yan Luo’s blood landed on the Amplification Gem’s surface, a gust of wind suddenly whipped through the ward.

Caught by this gust, Chen Shan felt much more spirited, his eyes wide with surprise.

He felt as if he could punch a cow to death now — without activating his Engraving.

Sasa and Yevgenia, standing by, felt the same, as if the whole world had become refreshing.

"Ms. Bilukova’s consciousness activity index is increasing!"

Seeing the life-monitoring system for Yulia light up, Sasa’s eyes sparkled.

It’s working!

Chen Shan clenched his fists with excitement.

Since it works, they would do it several more times.

Yan Luo reopened the closed blood vessels, letting his blood continuously drip onto the surface of the Amplification Gem.

The ward seemed to have a strong gust of wind blowing, causing the tubes connected to Yulia to sway back and forth.

Inhale — exhale!

Yulia began deep breathing, and her consciousness activity index rose higher and higher.

The nurse monitoring Yulia’s life index remotely from the care room was surprised, hurriedly rushing over, pushing the door to the ward, and witnessing a group of people performing what appeared to be a cult-like ritual.

Stunned for a moment, the nurse closed the door, rubbed her eyes vigorously, and reopened it, finding the people still there.

"You... Mr. Yan? Mr. Chen?"

The nurse finally recognized who was in the ward and gasped, "What are you doing?"

Everyone conscious in the ward looked toward the door, with Sasa explaining on Yan Luo’s behalf, "We’re treating Ms. Bilukova."

Dripping blood onto a giant... gem counts as treatment?

The nurse’s expression turned somewhat peculiar.

As a medical staff member working at Scarlet No. 2, she knew that Engravers were not some mysterious creatures and shouldn’t be directly associated with mysticism.

So, she felt perplexed now.

Seeing the nurse still confused, Sasa added, "Don’t concern yourself with what we are doing now; at least Ms. Bilukova’s consciousness activity index is steadily rising, which means it’s working."

The nurse hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

Indeed, no matter what the method, as long as it works, it’s enough.

Realizing this, the nurse pointed her finger toward the care room, "Should I... go back then?"

"Don’t worry, leave this to us," Sasa smiled at the nurse.

The nurse closed the door and walked back towards the care room.

Halfway there, she let out a surprised sound.

Because her shoulder and back, which were somewhat sore before, suddenly felt fine.

After the nurse left, Yulia’s consciousness activity index began to rise more slowly, but it was already a lot better compared to its nearly stopped state initially.

Yan Luo didn’t spare his blood in the slightest; even without nutritional supplementation, he could let out five liters of blood, and doing so wouldn’t affect his capabilities; he would just feel slightly hungry.

During the bloodletting, Yan Luo spoke to Sasa about his findings at the Da Yu Tomb Archaeological Site.

During this time, he also sought verification from Yevgenia on whether ’Magic Power has always existed.’

Having lived on Blue Star for some time, Yevgenia was aware of the serious breaks in heritage between the current Blue Star Civilization and the ancient Blue Star Civilization. When Yan Luo asked about this basic knowledge, Yevgenia answered patiently.

"Indeed, Magic Power has always existed. Even before we elves began recording history, our lifespans have always been so long."
