Chapter 1282: Rescue Room Talk
She had long known that the man possessed great magical powers, but she didn’t expect him to come so fast. Looking at the man, she was stunned for a moment, then she said, “You’re here?”
He nodded, his voice light yet calm. “Your friend is already alright.”
Xia Yingluo felt like a large stone on her shoulder had fallen. Strangely, she didn’t even need to distinguish if his words were true. Ss long as Wei Lingnan said it was fine, that person would definitely be fine and there was no need for doubt. She asked, “Can I go and see her?”
Wei Lingnan nodded. At the same time, he glared unfriendly at Zhao Yixuan who was nearby in the corridor. Zhao Yixuan immediately lowered his head. He didn’t know why, but he felt like this man looked extremely scary and somehow made him feel a strange fear. Zhao Yixuan’s legs trembled slightly and he was almost unable to stand straight.
Luckily, Wei Lingnan was concerned about Xia Yingluo’s condition and didn’t continue looking at Zhao Yixuan. Instead, he turned and followed Xia Yingluo into the surgery room.
Xia Yingluo saw Jin Ling’er lying alone on the hospital bed. Her expression was pale but her breathing was still and the signs on the medical treatment instruments were all normal. She called lightly a few times. “Ling’er, Ling’er.”
Jin Ling’er didn’t respond.
Wei Lingnan said, “She has lost too much blood and needs to rest well. She’ll be fine once she has good sleep.”
Xia Yingluo checked her condition again and turned to say to Wei Lingnan. “Thank you.”
Wei Lingnan’s voice was faint. “Why are you so polite with me?”
While talking, he walked to a few of the hospital staff members and placed a palm on their foreheads. A silent second later, he removed his palm and walked to the next person as if following a set pattern.
Xia Yingluo noticed that in the surgery room, except for them, a few other staff members were also present, but a spell seemed to have been put on them and they stood on the spot, not moving. Their expressions were rigid and they had a lifeless look in their eyes. She asked in worry, “What’s wrong with these people?” If she wasn’t wrong, these people were the ones doing Jin Ling’er’s surgery just now.
Wei Lingnan said, “It’s nothing. I appeared too suddenly and they saw me, so I froze them first and wiped their memory. When they awaken, they’ll think that I was never here and that they rescued Jin Ling’er.”
Xia Yingluo had once heard Wei Shaoyin say that Wei Lingnan had the ability to wipe people’s memories. But she was still shocked after witnessing it first-hand.
Wei Lingnan looked up at her. “Are you afraid?”
Xia Yingluo shook her head consciously. Afraid? That wasn’t it, she found it more unbelievable. There were really people in the world that could remove and reconstruct someone’s memory just like in the movies. Thinking about it, it indeed went against all her beliefs.
“It’s actually just science.” Wei Lingnan explained. “When human science and technology has improved to a certain standard, they will be able to do this too. As far as I know, there are some places on Earth where some organizations can achieve this skill through surgery on certain parts of the brain. I’m just a little more outstanding than them and can complete the task at the fastest speed without any harm.”
Xia Yingluo nodded and felt like she was really going crazy to accept his explanation as reasonable and logical.
“Then, how did you treat Jin Ling’er?” she asked.
“It’s easy. Life is a sort of energy, and injuries or loss of blood are all drainages of energy,” Wei Lingnan said. “All the substances in the universe are made of different forms and all energy is able to flow. The people of the Skatana Planet have a more profound understanding of the energy than humans do. As long as I turn back the energy, I can preserve her life. This matter is actually very simple, Ah Luo.”
So that’s why he had rushed here immediately, he had to reverse Jin Ling’er’s energy before she died. Once she died, the energy would dissipate and it would be extremely difficult to revive someone.
What Wei Lingnan didn’t tell Xia Yingluo was that this explanation wasn’t just the people of the Skatana Planet’s understanding of the energy, it was also his experience after failing his revival experiments numerous times in the past millions of years.
Having crossed the vast ocean and experiencing such burdensome experiments, such small diversities like reserving an injury simply couldn’t stump him.
Xia Yingluo exclaimed. “No wonder Earth endured your presence for so long. The skills you possess are very helpful to humans.”
Wei Lingnan chuckled. “No, Earth doesn’t care that much about human lives. What it cares about is the balance as well as its expansion in the vast universe. It has endured my presence for so long only because I’ve defended the Earth’s ecology balance and have continuously helped it to expand and grow. Do you know the science and technology in recent years have exploded?”
“Are you referring to the quick and violent growth in science and technology in the recent hundred years?” Xia Yingluo was suddenly in disbelief. “Don’t tell me that you did all that.”
Wei Lingnan only smiled.
“Oh God, it couldn’t be you!” Xia Yingluo’s beliefs were completely flipped.
Wei Lingnan said, “These are all science and technology created using Earth’s original resources. When it has taken a step further, Earth will have the ability to withstand the invasion of different races in the universe. Although Earth is in a remote place in the universe, nobody can guarantee when it will be discovered by other races, so it is necessary to prepare some self-defense. I guess this is considered a sort of exchange between me and Earth.”
Xia Yingluo felt like she was listening to some fantasy story, and seemed to see a magnificent vast blueprint of the universe from his deemphasized speech. This was something she had never thought of in her life before.
Wei Lingnan looked down at her, a light spark in his eyes. “Ah Luo, are you excited? Back then, you always wanted to conquer the universe, so you must be very agitated after hearing this.”
The blaze of passion in Xia Yingluo’s heart calmed down.
“I’m not agitated at all, and I don’t want to conquer the universe,” she said. “Wei Lingnan, you overestimate me. I’m not some Ah Luo.”
Wei Lingnan said softly, “You’re lying.”
Xia Yingluo turned her head over and didn’t look at him. “No matter what, thank you for saving my friend.”
This was her way of ending the conversation and emphasizing their clean relationship.
But Wei Lingnan said in amusement, “Ah Luo, don’t you think it’s strange? Ordinary people would be terrified after seeing such a strange thing, but you’re so calm as if nothing has happened and you’ve accepted this shock readily. That’s because you’re from the Skatana Planet. Deep in your memories, you’re very clear that these are all trivial matters and there’s no need to be surprised.”
“No.” Xia Yingluo retorted. “It’s because I’m from the Li family and my Uncle comes from such a family. I’ve seen many strange things in this world, and you’re only an addition. Wei Lingnan, don’t keep thinking that I’m some Ah Luo. It’s simply not realistic, do you understand?”
