Doomsday police, please show your god/demon ID card.

Strange phenomena suddenly occurred in the room.

Su Yan did not wake up as expected.

now...

Her entire body was completely enveloped in a pale green, almost tangible, shimmering light, making her appear like a deity.

To Tang Long's astonishment, her body defied all logic, slowly rising from the hospital bed and hovering a few centimeters above it.

Her long, jet-black hair moved without wind, scattering freely in the green light.

"Team Leader Tang? Why aren't you coming in..." Zhang Wennian's voice rang out from behind.

He had barely poked half his head in when his words abruptly stopped. He froze in the doorway, his eyes behind his glasses wide with shock.

"Let's go in and take a look."

"Why are you blocking the door?"

"..." Liu Qiang, Luo Yongchao and others from upstairs also rushed down.

However, without exception, no one was exempt.

Upon seeing the interior, they were all stunned and speechless.

Only Chen Ming, after the initial shock, quickly lost his fear.

He pushed aside Liu Qiang, who was blocking his way, and stared intently at the suspended Su Yan and the scattered green light around him, muttering to himself.

"Is this... an external manifestation of energy? A manifestation of the life field?"

"Did the crystal energy guide her potential? Or did it produce some unknown synergistic effect? ​​If only we had a spectrum analyzer."

Before he could finish speaking...

hum!

An invisible wave of mental energy suddenly spread outwards from Su Yan, who was suspended in mid-air!

Everyone present felt as if their brains had been struck hard by an invisible hammer.

Instantly, all sound disappeared.

The world went blank.

Countless chaotic images and piercing screams uncontrollably flooded into everyone's mind!

Tang Long groaned and braced himself against the wall with his hands to keep from falling.

Liu Qiang and Luo Yongchao both knelt down on the spot, covered their heads with their hands, and groaned in pain.

Chen Ming's eyes bulged out as he stared intently at Su Yan, which kept him from fainting.

As for Zhang Wennian and the two nurses, they didn't even react before their eyes rolled back and they fainted.

The entire process lasted approximately thirty seconds.

The green light suddenly receded.

boom!

Su Yan's body fell straight onto the hospital bed with a dull thud, as if it had lost its support.

"Ugh! Huff~ Huff~" Tang Long took a few deep breaths before his body regained sensation.

He shook his still throbbing head, rushed into the ward, and immediately reached for Su Yan's neck with his fingers.

A faint pulse came through, my fingertips felt icy cold, but it was definitely still beating.

"Old Liu," Tang Long hissed without turning around, "Check on Dr. Zhang and the two nurses!"

"Yes!" Liu Qiang struggled to get up and, together with Luo Yongchao, went to check on the three unconscious people.

"They're all still alive, just unconscious." Liu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief after checking on the three nurses.

He reached out and patted Zhang Wennian's face.

"Dr. Zhang! Wake up! Wake up..."

"Hiss!" Zhang Wennian slowly opened his eyes, looking somewhat confused. "What...what happened to me?"

"You just fainted," Liu Qiang explained.

Zhang Wennian paused for a moment, then realized, "Right, right... how is Dr. Su?"

As he spoke, he looked toward the hospital bed.

Tang Long frowned, staring intently at Su Yan on the bed.

On the hospital bed, Su Yan's eyelashes trembled a few times, and her eyeballs seemed to be moving gently beneath her eyelids.

Then, under the breathless gaze of everyone...

She slowly, with great difficulty, opened her eyes a crack.

His eyes were vacant and lost, as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he was somewhat dazed.

"I……"

She opened her mouth, but only managed to utter a single, faint syllable.

"Wait! Don't speak yet."

Zhang Wennian struggled to his feet. Although his complexion was still terrible, his doctor's instincts allowed him to quickly suppress all his surprise and doubts and force himself into work mode.

He picked up a pen-shaped flashlight, pried open Su Yan's eyelids, and checked her pupils' reaction to light.

As the light spot drew closer, the unfocused pupils contracted rapidly.

Zhang Wennian nodded, put away his tools, and asked in as calm a tone as possible, "Can you hear me? If so, blink."

Su Yan blinked slowly.

"Do you know who you are? If you do, blink again."

"What does one plus one equal? ​​If you know the answer, just move your finger."

Su Yan's fingers, which were resting on the edge of the bed, twitched very slightly.

Every tiny response eased the tense atmosphere in the ward.

Zhang Wennian's questions became faster and more in-depth, and although Su Yan's responses were slow and weak, they were always accurate.

More than ten minutes later, Zhang Wennian straightened up and let out a long breath.

He looked at Tang Long with an extremely complex expression.

"Aside from extreme weakness, his vital signs have stabilized."

"The brain's logical function is not impaired."

He paused, as if searching for the right word.

In the end, he just shook his head.

"It's...it's unbelievable."

"I told you, there would definitely be no problem!" Chen Ming had recovered by now and said casually.

As he spoke, he looked at Lin Xiaoruan, who had just woken up, and asked, "Nurse Lin, could I see your health data records from the past few days?"

Lin Xiaoruan nodded: "Mm."

"Oh, right, Dr. Su! When you're feeling better, could you give me another blood sample? I'll examine it for you..."

"Alright!" Tang Long suddenly spoke up, "Get out, all of you."

Chen Ming was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Long, and then realized what was happening, so he quickly shut his mouth.

The others exchanged glances, left the ward, and quietly closed the door behind them.

It was clear that Tang Long wanted to discuss this privately.

After everyone left, Tang Long pulled up a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed.

He looked at Su Yan, and she was looking at him too.

"How are you feeling?" Tang Long asked.

"I'm so tired," Su Yan said weakly. "It feels like I've run a marathon that will never end."

Do you remember what happened before?

Su Yan's brows furrowed slightly, as if she were recalling something.

"I think I... had a very long dream."

"In my dream, I became a tree, rooted in the ground, and could feel everything around me."

"besides……"

She stopped abruptly halfway through her sentence.

He suddenly turned his head, his gaze piercing through the glass window, looking at the city night sky shrouded in thick fog.

"What's wrong?" Tang Long noticed her unusual behavior.

Su Yan slowly withdrew her gaze, her lips slightly pale.

"I don't know if it's just my imagination..."

"Just now, the instant I woke up."

"I feel... something is watching me."

Tang Long's heart sank.

"Is it that meatball from the supermarket?"

"No." Su Yan shook her head.

"No! That fleshy mass feels chaotic and hungry."

"And this..."

She organized her thoughts.

"Further away, colder."

"Like an iceberg floating in the universe, huge, silent, with a kind of... indifference looking down on all living beings."

Tang Long's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something.

"Which direction?"

Su Han's gaze returned to the window.

"It seems to be... from the city center."
