Many people returned to their rooms, and Lu Ning saw Qu Langyue doing some cleaning work again. She greeted her, and Qu Langyue also said that there was no major problem with her body and that it had been checked.
However, when Qu Langyue left, He Shanyong's door suddenly opened. He Shanyong looked out the door furtively, and when he saw Lu Ning, he hurriedly waved to her.
"Mr. He?"
"What did you ask her just now?" He Shanyong asked.
"She was injured in some accident this morning, so I asked..."
"She is lying." He Shanyong said hurriedly, "Since yesterday, I have often activated my ability to check what people around me are saying. I don't really believe what people are saying... She was lying just now! We can't believe her anymore!"
"But we have no other choice now. You don't want to end up like the previous people because of violating the procedures, right?"
He Shanyong responded quietly twice, and then went back to his room.
As for Qu Langyue's lies...I'm afraid her body is not without any problems. Lu Ning couldn't force him to check the other party now, unless he could join forces with powerful people like Mr. Zhou and Miss Yan. But in the end, she knocked on Meng Juan's door, talked to Meng Juan about these matters for a while, and then got over it first.
When it was close to eleven o'clock at noon, the hall had been moved by the servants, and the center was set aside as a dance floor. A gramophone used to play music was also moved to the side of the hall, and Tian Xiao was testing the record. Red wine and snacks were placed on the long table against the wall. The wealthy businessman and Michael were choosing red wine there; Professor Xu was sitting on a bench, still holding a book in his hand; Miss Yan was talking to Jin Xiuqing in the corner; the short-haired white-collar worker and He Shanyong stood at the door a little at a loss. side.
"Everyone, please choose your own wine bar." Feng Yuanxi said.
"Where are Qu Langyue and Ye Yunmei?" Lu Ning looked around and saw no sign of the two maids.
"They will be here in a moment. Miss Lu Ning, do you have any requirements for red wine?"
"Don't let the wine taste too strong." Lu Ning said casually.
Two minutes later, Mr. Zhou also came down from upstairs, followed by Meng Juan and Tang Ling. Mr. Zhou still had a serious look on his face. He didn't even look at the situation in the hall, but walked straight towards the servant's room.
"Mr. Zhou..." Feng Yuanxi was about to speak, but Mr. Zhou turned back and glanced at him: "What? Can't we go?"
"Although we serve everyone as servants, those two are also girls after all..."
"It doesn't matter. I won't go there. This Miss Tang Ling will go in and check the situation."
Meng Juan winked at Lu Ning here. It seemed that he was the one who told Mr. Zhou about the matter. With his character, he would never sit idly by and ignore such a thing. The servants couldn't stop him, so Mr. Zhou took Tang Ling to the door of the servants' room smoothly. In addition to Lu Ning and Meng Juan, there were also wealthy businessmen and people like Michael who came to watch the fun.
Tang Ling pushed open the door to the room and shouted: "What the hell is going on with you two!"
"Please don't come in!" Ye Yunmei's voice came from inside the room. Lu Ning walked to the door and took a look inside. Fortunately, the situation didn't seem serious. Both of them are now dealing with their own problems. The skin of Ye Yunmei's arms has turned into a moist and slippery surface, like a snail, and is even secreting some mucus from it. But Qu Langyue still had the hard object that appeared on her body before, and it had spread from the ankle to the thigh.
"The situation of you two is not very optimistic." Lu Ning narrowed his eyes, "It seems that nothing is wrong."
"The problem is outdoors." Mr. Zhou said coldly, "Ye Yunmei climbed outside and opened the window yesterday, and Qu Langyue, I heard, went to get the newspaper this morning, right?"
"Yes, but I also picked up the newspaper yesterday..." Qu Langyue said hesitantly.
"There were no strange red ice beads falling yesterday morning." Mr. Zhou tugged on his collar and stepped into the house.
"Mr. Zhou, you-" Feng Yuanxi stretched out his hand to stop him.
"I'm a doctor!" Mr. Zhou said sternly, "What are you dealing with in private? Can this situation be eliminated by ordinary means? Or is this already the case and there are still people who are worried about the suspicion between men and women? Get out of my way! "
He broke in, signaled Lu Ning and Tang Ling to close the door, raised his finger and turned it into a sharp knife, and walked towards Ye Yunmei and Qu Langyue.
"The lesions on your body need to be removed, but it is not just a physical removal. Now, if you want to survive, you must cooperate with my surgery. Lu Ning, Tang Ling, you two can help me. I must understand what this change is. what happened!"
Ye Yunmei and Qu Langyue were not people who could not distinguish the situation, so they agreed immediately.
Mr. Zhou first dealt with Ye Yunmei’s problem. The sharp knife in his hand penetrated the edge of the diseased skin. Judging from the movements of his fingers, the changed fingers were still capable of sensing. His hands were very steady. Not much blood flowed out after the knife was applied. Tang Ling only had to hold on tightly. It was enough to hold Ye Yunmei's arm to prevent her from twitching, while Lu Ning held a makeshift wooden tray and prepared to receive the piece that Mr. Zhou had cut off.
"It's down to the bones." Mr. Zhou narrowed his eyes, "Your situation is not particularly good."
"I know." Ye Yunmei said.
"Hmph, even if I can keep you alive, your hands will probably be useless. But it is also good for me to keep the patient calm..."
While speaking, Mr. Zhou suddenly exerted force on his hand, and a piece of soft meat was cut off by him. Lu Ning caught the piece of meat quickly with eyes and hands. The piece of meat was still squirming like a slug in the wooden plate, but there was not much blood flowing from the wound on Ye Yunmei's arm. Mr. Zhou put her hand down, and then did the same thing to the other arm, and another piece of meat was covered by him Digged it down.
Lu Ning tied the wooden plate tightly with gauze, then brought another plate over to prepare for Qu Langyue's condition. Mr. Zhou changed his fingers again and observed the distribution of the hard objects on Qu Langyue's legs. His fingers began to lengthen and turned into a thick metal needle with an opening at the front.
"Anesthesia." Mr. Zhou glanced at Tang Ling, "Can it be done by blocking nerve reflexes?"
"Simple." Tang Ling also changed his fingers, inserted a thin tube into Qu Langyue's leg, pulled it out after about five seconds, and nodded.
Mr. Zhou began to use the metal needle on his hand to clasp the hard objects and slowly insert them downwards. Lu Ning could see that the shape of the needle he was controlling on his fingers was changing, as if it was adapting to the condition of the hard objects on Qu Langyue's body. Only his superpower can perform such an operation.
"Come and get me."
Lu Ning brought the wooden plate over. Mr. Zhou pulled it with his fingers and quickly pressed the bandage with his other hand to block the blood. With a flick of his hand, he threw a small insect onto the plate in Lu Ning's hand. The body of the little bug was exactly the same color as human flesh and blood, and was almost inactive. Only a black hard shell grew at the tail end - the same thing on Qu Langyue's body.
"Your leg is a little better and can be saved. These bugs only suck your bones and marrow, and the number is not very large. However, you should not put heavy pressure on this leg in the future, and you must be careful, as it is more likely to fracture than usual. "
"Thank you." Qu Langyue said softly.
Mr. Zhou's speed became faster and faster, and he quickly pulled out all the bugs from Qu Langyue's body. After throwing the last one on the tray, he threw the bandage to Qu Langyue and asked her to bandage it herself. After recovering her fingers, He walked to the door and opened it.
"Mr. Zhou." Feng Yuanxi and Jin Xiuqing stood at the door.
"The two of them are fine. There will be some sequelae, but their lives have been saved. Please keep the things you dug out of their bodies for me. I will study it in my spare time during the dance. Now we can proceed with the process... Then Two maids, don't let them do any more heavy work, you are servants, not slaves, that's all."
After speaking in a serious tone, he separated the two of them and walked out of the door.
Lu Ning packed up the two wooden trays and signaled to Feng Yuanxi, then she and Tang Ling walked out of the room. The two people, who were not very confrontational, tacitly remained silent at this time. They walked out of the door and came to the table where the red wine was placed. They each chose a glass and drank it - neither of them worried that there was anything wrong with the wine.
In a slightly weird atmosphere, the dance party began.
Michael first walked over and invited the short-haired white-collar worker. His character had a good soothing effect on the currently nervous ladies. Tian Xiao put on a record with a soft melody, and the slow melody made the two of them dance in harmony.
At this time, Mr. Zhou walked directly to the lady and invited her. The noble lady looked surprised, but she still stood up and accepted. Immediately afterwards, Meng Juan and Tang Ling also walked into the dance floor hand in hand. Only these two were the most natural.
"My friend, would you like to jump a few steps with me, an old man?" Professor Xu came to Lu Ning with a smile on his face. Lu Ning looked at it. If she didn't wait for others to finish dancing, the remaining choices were Fu Shang and He Shanyong. Relatively speaking, Professor Xu was indeed a better choice.
"Professor, I have never learned to dance, please give me some advice."
"Anywhere, just walk along with the music." Professor Xu said with a smile.
But it was difficult for the remaining people to form a pair. Miss Yan and Qi Leyin stood by the table, drinking and chatting in a low voice, with no intention of starting to dance. The wealthy businessman went to invite them, but was directly rejected by Miss Yan. He Shanyong was even more afraid to go there.
Lu Ning and Professor Xu were quite relaxed. After dancing the song, Lu Ning saluted Professor Xu and walked to Feng Yuanxi. At this time, Mr. Zhou also finished dancing as if he had completed his task and came over to perform surgery on himself. Those things came out. As for the other two groups, it seemed that they started the second dance to the music with great interest.
"Everything is here." Feng Yuanxi gestured to a small room next to him. Mr. Zhou took a look and walked in with satisfaction. Lu Ning followed suit and walked into the room.
The two wooden plates were placed on the table and wrapped tightly with gauze and plastic wrap. Mr. Zhou cut them open with a knife, turned his fingers into metal pliers, and picked up the insects dug out of Qu Langyue's body. .
"Are you interested?" He knew Lu Ning had come in without turning around.
"I'm quite curious about your abilities. Maybe it's not the ability to turn your hands into surgical tools, right?" Lu Ning said.
"I will not tell others the secrets of my abilities." Mr. Zhou said, "If you are interested in these creatures, that is another matter. They should be parasitic on humans through external media, but the interesting thing is that these creatures should They were all spread outside through the previous ice beads, but the symptoms after the two maids came back from going out at different times were completely different."
Mr. Zhou is now in a slightly fanatical state. He seems to have found what he really wants to see, and he is staring at the bug in his hand. Immediately, he cut open another plate, and his hand turned into a cage-shaped clamp on both sides, and fished out a soft slug.
"When I peeled it off, it already had an independent biological structure and was constantly assimilating the surrounding human tissue. Most of the maid's arm was eaten away by it in this way. If it were later, it would only be Amputation is possible," Mr. Zhou said.
"Are these things different because of the differences between superpowers?"
"Maybe, the more likely factor is that individuals have different physiques. Have you seen those monsters in the news reports? Are all those monsters superpowers? I don't think so, but the conditions they display are similar to those of these two bugs. There are great similarities. If they are allowed to grow, I don’t know what they will become.”
"Maybe this is the case with Han Xuezhi."
"...It wasn't snowing at that time."
"But a meteor shower fell. If the cause was not snow but a meteor shower, and Han Xuezhi came into direct contact with the meteor shower... the effect would be more direct than those ice beads."
Mr. Zhou glanced at Lu Ning and nodded slowly: "This is a possibility. At the same time, it also means that we must be more careful when leaving here at night. If we are infected with similar diseases, we may not be able to survive by then. Such good conditions for treatment.”

Across the ball, it seemed like people had finally gotten their job done. Qi Leyin accepted He Shanyong's invitation, Miss Yan chose to dance with Meng Juan, and the wealthy businessman ended up dancing with Tang Ling - this was beyond Lu Ning's expectation.
"Dear guests, please feel free to move around here before one o'clock in the afternoon. What happened in the past few days is too dangerous, and I think it is what we should do to ensure the safety of all guests." Feng Yuanxi said.
"I don't know where you got your confidence from. Where are the two maids? Are they still alive?" Miss Yan asked bluntly.
"There is a slight damage, but his life is not in danger." Feng Yuanxi told the truth.
"With all due respect, these two little girls were in danger after they went outdoors. Xiaoye went out during the snowstorm yesterday, and Xiaoqu went out after the snow stopped today, but still contracted the disease. You should also I know there may be germs raging outside,” Professor Xu said.
"Then what we need to discuss before we leave is how to leave without contracting similar diseases." Michael clapped his hands.
