Chapter 126: The Four Questions
“What? What is happening to me?” Ning got scared immediately. Due to the amplified fear, the first thing he did instinctively was getting scared.
However, he quickly erased the emotion from himself and started thinking logically.
‘What is this? How did I get this? Why did I get this?’ He asked the fundamental questions to any medical procedure.
What is this?
He tried to think. His decrepit hand was the same as the zombie in front of him. All the way up to the decay and wrinkles. It was also very slowly moving up his arm and hurt like a b*tch. The visuals and pain of his arms reminded him of something.
‘The Unique Yin Qi.’
This was the same feeling Ning got every time he took the unique Yin Qi from the different women and cleared it away. The last two months, he had cured dozens of women and knew exactly how it looked and felt.
So, in conclusion, the answer to his first question was that it was the Unique Yin Qi. It was traveling up his hand, practically rotting everything in the way.
How did I get this?
The Unique Yin Qi was not with him when he had first arrived. Ning turned back to look at the woman once more and see if she could’ve been the cause of this, like all the previous women.
However, she had nothing on her, either big bellies or the rotting body to prove that she was the cause. So, Ning came to the conclusion that it was from the man in front of him.
As for how exactly it could’ve happened, he had a good idea. He had touched the zombie to check his heartbeat, and at that time, it had transferred the Unique Yin Qi to him.
So, the answer to the second question was that it had transferred through touch. The woman hadn’t been touched by the zombie yet, so it was further proof.
Why did I get this?
This was what puzzled Ning the most. The Unique Yin Qi was something he was used to working with by now. So, he had experimented with it quite a few times too.
He had made a discovery that unless the amount of the Yin Qi was massive like when it came out of those women’s belly, one’s body had a natural barrier to keep it away.
Without a massive amount, the Qi should have never entered his body. Yet, he could tell how little Yin Qi there was in his arm right now, and here it was wreaking havoc despite it.
This could only mean that there was either something unusual with the Yin Qi right now, or… there was something unusual with his body.
Ning’s eyes went wide.
“Yang Festering Bugs,” he shouted in surprise. That was the only thing different with him. He had the yang festering bugs. In fact…
Ning’s face drained in color as he realized what was happening.
“The entire city has it… If they come into contact with the yin Qi… everyone in the city will become a zombie,” he said under his breath.
The answer to the third question was that he got it because of his lack of yang which would naturally protect one’s body from this small amount of Yin Qi.
‘This is a coordinated attack. Whoever spread the bugs knew that would be enough to not only create panic but also make a vulnerable crowd that could become a zombie.’
This was a nasty ploy by someone.
‘But who? One has to have a high level of cultivation base to even tame the beasts in the first place. So it can’t be just anyone ordinary,’ Ning thought.
There was also the problem of the Yin Qi. Only the women with big bellies could produce them as far as he knew, and he had cured all of them.
“Wait, no. Not all of them. These girls weren’t just the ones who cultivated the technique. The real source of the cultivation technique, where majority cultivated this technique was… ”
Eagle Sect.
The rundown sect looked like nobody took care of it, but had disciples on the inside. Ning had been curious about the sect for quite a while but didn’t bother with it much because of its looks.
“High-level cultivators, and Source of Yin QI…”
It fit perfectly.
Both Kaezir and Ning had mistakenly believed the Mist Origin sect to be the one behind the attack, or at least someone from the Mist Origin sect was. However, it turned out, it was actually the bizarre and mysterious Eagle sect.
‘What is happening? Why are they attacking the city and the innocents?’ Ning wondered. However, he couldn’t think of anything.
At first, he had assumed that it had to be something like why he killed those innocent people, to hide something from everyone. However, if everyone knew something so important, then he would too, and he knew nothing.
‘There must be another agenda here,’ he thought.
The woman had started crying at some point. Ning couldn’t do anything about that. Even if he had the system, he couldn’t bring back her husband who was already dead.
‘The only thing I can do right now is doing what I have been doing for the last few months.’
He had come up with the answers to the What? How? And Why? Questions. So, he was naturally going to ask the next question in the sequence. A question that every physician asked themselves.
How am I going to fix this?
A Small buzzing sound appeared out of nowhere. The rotting, decrepit hand was slowly reverting back to its former self as the sound kept on stacking on top of each other, slowly growing louder.
He had used Yin To Sound conversion technique.
He walked up to the lady and the corpse and touched them both as Yin Qi left their body and increase the sound coming from him.
The answer to the final question was here. He was going to take upon all the Yin Qi onto himself and then destroy it.
