Soon, the doctor drew my blood and conducted various tests and examinations. Finally, he came to the ward holding a pile of test results. From the doctor's puzzled expression and slightly grim demeanor, it seemed the results were not good. Sure enough, he stood beside my bed and said, "It's strange; I've never seen a patient like you. On the surface, it looks like you're suffering from hemorrhagic anemia, but other parts of your body are quite healthy. We can't determine what is causing the blood loss."
I was taken aback slightly—hemorrhagic anemia?
The doctor continued, "What's even stranger is that your anemia symptoms have progressed from mild to severe in a very short time. If I hadn't seen you looking perfectly fine, I would suspect there was some arterial damage."
Liang Xi said, "Could it be internal bleeding, which is why it’s not visible?"
The doctor shook his head, dismissing this guess. "That's impossible. If it were internal bleeding, you wouldn't be this healthy right now."
By "healthy," he meant compared to patients with internal bleeding. Hu Xiaoyi suddenly seemed to think of something; he turned to me and asked, "Old Two, do you think it could be related to that Spirit Child?"
Actually, I had thought of this point when he first asked. The doctor said I had hemorrhagic anemia but couldn't find the cause, which was definitely abnormal. After considering everything, the only explanation seemed to be the Spirit Child. Azan Kunsha had mentioned that every time offerings were made to the Spirit Child, it required some of my blood. But it wasn't much—just a little each month. The problem was that both wishing and repaying wishes to the Spirit Child also consumed blood.
I had wished for Hotel Manager Gao Donglin to have bad luck seven or eight times a day; I didn't know how the Spirit Child calculated these wishes. But if every time Gao Donglin faced misfortune, it required me to repay a wish, then everything made sense!
It was the Spirit Child that was draining my blood, which is why I fainted!
Seeing that I confirmed this guess, Hu Xiaoyi hurriedly asked, "So what should we do now? Can you make it stop retaliating?"
I said I could only give it a try, not really sure.
Then, I attempted to communicate with the Ghost Fragment in my mind. After some murmuring, I vaguely felt something swirling in my head, cool and refreshing, but the next moment, there was a twitch deep within me. I suddenly felt dizzy; even lying on the bed, I almost fell off. Hu Xiaoyi and Liang Xi were startled and quickly supported me, asking what was wrong.
I instinctively sensed that something was amiss. The Spirit Child's spiritual power was immense, even difficult for the Ajan Master to control. It seemed to have developed a habit of tormenting Gao Donglin and was reluctant to stop. The dizziness I just experienced indicated that some of my blood had been drawn away again. Hu Xiaoyi wanted to call a doctor, but I grabbed him and slowly shook my head, weakly saying, "The doctor won't help. Call Second Uncle; he's the only one who can save me..."
Hu Xiaoyi quickly grabbed the phone on the coffee table, found Second Uncle's number, and dialed it. When the call connected, Second Uncle was surprised that someone else had his phone and immediately shouted, "Who are you? Where's the Child?"
Hu Xiaoyi explained that he was a classmate and said, "Shen Yi is in danger; he's been harmed by the Spirit Child. You need to come quickly to save him!"
Second Uncle was alarmed and asked what had happened and how Shen Yi had been harmed by the Spirit Child.
Hu Xiaoyi was too anxious to explain clearly, so Second Uncle asked for the hospital address and told us not to leave; he would be there right away!
I should be grateful that at that time Second Uncle was still in a nearby city and hadn't left. If he had been in Thailand or somewhere else, I might not have survived. Before Second Uncle arrived, I fell into unconsciousness again. When I woke up, I found IVs in both arms with several blood bags hanging above.
Hu Xiaoyi was so frightened that tears streamed down his face; when he saw me open my eyes, he shouted for the doctor. The doctor came in, examined me briefly, and said there wasn't much he could do. He stated, "Your condition is too unusual; I've never seen such severe hemorrhagic anemia in a patient before. Almost every ten minutes or so, a portion of your blood is lost; this is different from normal anemia. Moreover, both the frequency and volume of blood loss are rapidly increasing. Right now, we can only keep giving you blood transfusions to maintain your condition, but we've had a lot of major surgeries recently, and coincidentally this afternoon we received several patients from serious traffic accidents—the blood bank's supply is running low. We're trying to gather more from other places, but given your current situation, I'm afraid just transfusions won't be effective."
Just then, the ward door was pushed open, and Second Uncle rushed in. He reached my bedside and saw how weak I looked; he grabbed the doctor's collar and sternly demanded to know what was going on!
The doctor was intimidated by his presence and seeing many people behind him began explaining the situation honestly. Second Uncle listened in shock; he had never encountered such a case before. At that moment, Hu Xiaoyi tugged at his sleeve and quietly said, "Uncle, this isn't related to the hospital; we know the reason. Please let the doctor go first."
Second Uncle immediately released the doctor and shooed him out while asking Hu Xiaoyi what the reason was.
Hu Xiaoyi recounted how we were cheated by the hotel, and then mentioned that I had used Ghost Fragment to take revenge on Manager Gao Donglin. Now, I was losing a lot of blood, possibly due to the Spirit Child's interference.
As soon as Second Uncle heard this, he immediately called someone from outside. It was a young Black Robed Mage named Ajan Tun, who had come with him to handle matters in the country. Second Uncle explained my situation to Ajan Tun, who thought for a moment before coming over and examining my palm closely. Then, he placed his hand on my forehead and silently felt for a while.
At that moment, I felt unbearable pain throughout my body; it was an intense agony akin to having my marrow extracted, causing me to involuntarily scream. Second Uncle was startled, but Ajan Tun remained unfazed. He firmly pressed down on my forehead, allowing me to grip him without any reaction. After a while, the pain gradually subsided, and I lay on the bed drenched in sweat, feeling as if I were about to die.
Hu Xiaoyi was terrified and cried out my name from the side. Second Uncle, feeling quite annoyed, scolded her, saying, "Stop crying! The person isn't dead! Just stand over there!"
Neither Hu Xiaoyi nor Liang Xi dared to disobey and obediently moved to the side. Second Uncle turned back to Ajan Tun, who had withdrawn his hand, and exchanged a few words with him. After a moment, he turned to look at me with a mix of anger and helplessness, saying, "You really know how to cause trouble. What were you thinking using that Spirit Child? Ajan Tun said that you are indeed being tormented by the Spirit Child right now. It is using your thoughts as a connection and continuously torturing that person to siphon your blood. And this fellow has already become addicted, so it’s drawing more and more. Don’t be fooled by the blood bags hanging on you; it won’t be long before it can drain most of your blood in one go, and it will only get worse from there. By then, even if a thousand or ten thousand people lined up to donate blood, it would be too late!"
I had no strength left to respond and could only lie there taking his scolding. Hu Xiaoyi couldn’t help but say, "Please stop scolding him and hurry up to save him!"
"If I don’t scold him, will he learn his lesson? Besides, isn’t this all because he wanted to help you?" Second Uncle glared.
Hu Xiaoyi felt a bit wronged and lowered her head in silence. I wanted to argue against Second Uncle’s words but lacked the strength to speak. Second Uncle snorted and said to me, "You called us too late; there’s no way to stop this now unless that fellow dies. The Spirit Child won’t stop otherwise. So Ajan Tun needs to use your body as a cage and forcibly pull the Spirit Child back in. It might be very painful; you need to be mentally prepared."
I blinked my eyes in acknowledgment of being prepared. Second Uncle shooed everyone out of the hospital room, leaving only him and Ajan Tun behind. Hu Xiaoyi and Liang Xi initially wanted to stay with me but ran away holding their heads when Second Uncle glared at them.
Once everyone had left, Ajan Tun removed my shirt. He first examined the Binding Ghost Scripture that Azan Kunsha had tattooed on me, then thought for a while before taking out a small dagger and starting to carve on my arm. Due to excessive blood loss, I didn’t feel much pain in my body anymore; it was as if I had been numbed by anesthesia. Just a slight glance revealed my arms covered in blood from the cuts.
Second Uncle frowned as he looked at me with an expression of frustration mixed with disappointment.
