The curator looked at the sky and sighed, but he did not dwell on this matter for too long and asked instead: "Okay, let's not talk about it anymore. Do you have any medicinal materials you want? I have the medicinal materials here. It’s quite complete.”
Speaking of medicinal materials, Siya suddenly remembered her previous investigation, and she immediately asked: "Senior, did you receive the letter I sent yesterday?"
"Letter?" The curator frowned, thought for a while, and then said, "I've been busy recently, and I really haven't noticed any letters. And if there are any letters, my apprentice will help collect them. Maybe it’s even possible at his place. However, I’m here, if you have any questions, just ask me directly!”
"That's right. Senior, do you know there is any big force or person in Bit City who has the strange poisonous Phoenix Spirit?"
"Strange poisonous phoenix spirit?" The curator was slightly startled, and then asked, "Why are you looking for this thing?"
"We received a mission at the academy and came here to investigate the whereabouts of the missing people. After a series of investigations, we finally found a silver needle left by the mastermind behind the scenes. From there, we extracted the strange poison Fengling, and this is what we are currently doing The only clue."
"So you want to find a breakthrough point from here, is that right?"
"Um."
"If it were someone else, maybe I still don't know, but I know it!"
"Oh, really? Senior, please tell me quickly? Which forces are they?"
"The power is so indescribable that it's just one place."
"A place? Where?"
"Well, that's my secret medicine garden."
Hearing the senior's words, Siya didn't react for a moment. She still looked forward to the answer being revealed.
But then, like a flash of thunder, she showed a shocked expression,
Then, she remembered what Bufan and Dick had said during their previous analysis,
…That is a person or organization full of a twisted sense of justice!
And what the senior said before,
The people he killed were all extremely evil people!
the truth,
It seems to have surfaced!
Siya took a breath, she didn't want to believe the truth she judged,
I want to ask again,
But at this moment, the senior’s voice sounded again,
"Furthermore, as far as I know, I have never given Fengling this kind of strange poison to other forces." The curator turned his head and looked at Siya,
"In other words, the strange poison you discovered should have been extracted from my medicine garden."
Siya's pupils shrank, she felt her eyes were sore, and her fingers dug deeply into her flesh, but she didn't even notice.
"Come on, come with me to visit my secret medicine garden..."

Night fell, birds returned to their nests, and the moon hung high on the branches, but the few people in the ward were walking around anxiously.
From time to time, Bufan would run to the door and look at the corridor, but at this time the corridor was very quiet, not even a single person.
"It's so late, why isn't Senior Siya back yet?"
"Xiao Monk thinks that instead of waiting meaninglessly, it's better to take the initiative. Let's go directly to find Senior Sister Xiya?"
After hearing Dar's words, Bufan hesitated and said, "But this is the senior's medical clinic. There shouldn't be any problems with Senior Siya, right?"
"Bufan, this is not a matter of trust or distrust, but it is already very late now, and..."
Dick walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the scenery outside the window. At this time, the trees that were full of vitality during the day became extremely gloomy at night, like tree monsters with claws and teeth.
"It's weird here."
"Weird? I think the atmosphere here is really good! The patients here are very optimistic, the doctors are very responsible, and the environment is beautiful!"
After hearing these words, Dick shook his head speechlessly: "Bufan, you'd better stay here honestly, Dar, what about you, do you feel anything weird here?"
"You mean the patient?"
"It seems that you have noticed it. Yes, I feel that not only the patients, but also the environment here, the trees, flowers and plants, all have various feelings of disharmony."
"Incongruous?"
"Let's talk about the trees outside." Dick pointed to the big trees outside the medical center and said, "Can you see a dead leaf on that tree? Can you see any fallen leaves on the ground?"
"It seems, but there really isn't!"
When Dick said this, Bufan felt really weird.
"The leaves looked like they were made of real plastic."
"As for the patient, Bufan, do you remember the old man who called himself Big Brother we met before?"
"Well, that old man with some obsessive-compulsive disorder." Bufan thought of the old man outside the dense forest who always forced himself to call him big brother.
"Now I feel that what he said is right. He may really be a young man who is actually older than us."
"You mean, premature aging?"
"Yes, but according to my inference, this situation may occur because life is overdrafted."
"Hey, does that mean that the same is true for the grandfathers and ladies I saw in the medical clinic today?"
"I can't say it must be, but I can't rule it out."
"No wonder, no wonder their way of speaking has always felt awkward to me, so that's how it is." Bufan finally understood something now, but he was still a little confused, "They should also know their own situation, right?"
"Yeah, this is what I find weird. They didn't feel sad, but accepted it optimistically. Why is this?"
Seeing that Dick seemed to be going too far off topic while talking to Bufan, Dar quickly interrupted: "Well, Xiao Monk thinks we should go find Senior Sister Siya to talk about other things!"
Bufan and Dick looked at each other, "Yes, finding Senior Sister Thea is the most important thing now!"
"Well, let's set off quickly."
"I'll go too." Geno, who had been sitting quietly on the bed in a daze, suddenly said.
"No Geno, your health is still very poor and you are not suitable to come with us."
"I can."
Seeing that Geno refused to listen and wanted to follow him, Dick had no choice but to say: "Jeno, your physical condition does not allow it. If you follow us, it will drag us down. Your task now is to have a good rest and wait for our return, and then Let’s go back to the academy together.”
Geno looked at Dick quietly for a while before replying: "Okay."

The hospital was dimly lit at night, and the three extraordinary people jumped directly from the corridor.
With a soft sound of "tart", they fell to the ground easily. The height of three floors was not a problem for them at all.
Without stopping, they bypassed the ward building and arrived at the doctor's courtyard.
Looking at the yards scattered around, Bufan looked directly at Dick, "Dick, do you think so?"
"How else can we look at this? Of course we need to find a house and ask around first."
Dick glanced around, and then walked towards the lighted courtyard closest to him.
Da da da…
A knock on the door sounded in the quiet night.
Not long after, the door was opened, and Bufan and others were stunned when they saw the figure standing behind the door.
"Mr. Li? Hello, Mr. Li!"
What a coincidence, the person in front of me is Mr. Li who came to see Geno today.
"You guys, what's going on?"
"It's like this, Mr. Li. Senior Sister Xia hasn't come back yet. We are a little worried. We heard before that she wanted to go to the medicine garden, so we searched all the way here. Mr. Li, can you tell us where the medicine garden is? Where?"
"Oh, this matter, this matter doesn't matter. For people like us who are obsessed with herbal medicine, even if we stay there for a day, it doesn't mean anything?"
"Well, even so, as companions, we are a little worried."
"Okay, okay, then I'll go with you, old man."
"There is no need to bother Mr. Li with such a small matter. As long as Mr. Li tells us the location, we can walk there ourselves."
"You don't know this. Do you think our medicine field and medicine garden can be entered by outsiders? It is the property of our medical center. The entire medicine field is surrounded by warning formations, and the director The precious medicine garden has countless formations, including attack formations. If you don’t have the key and want to force your way in, you’ll basically have to peel off your skin even if you don’t die.”
After hearing what Mr. Li said, Bufan and the others looked at each other. Fortunately, they didn't know the way. Otherwise, if they had gone straight up, they and others would not be able to see the sun tomorrow!
"Okay, wait a minute old man, I'll go in and put on a coat and go with you."
****
There were no street lights on the way to the medicine field. With the bright moon in the sky and the lights of the nearby courtyard, everyone could barely see the surrounding road conditions clearly. But Mr. Li in front was different. He walked There was no hesitation when he started walking. He was obviously a regular on this road. He turned left when he needed to turn left and turned right when he needed to. Following Mr. Li, Bufan didn't need to worry about finding the way.
"Mr. Li, what do you think of the patients in the hospital?" After walking for a while, Dick's voice suddenly came from beside him.
"What do you think? Doctors are parents. What we have to do is to do our best to treat patients and help them recover. This is our responsibility."
"However, I found that the patients in the medical center are very overdrafted. Is this normal?"
Hearing Dick's straightforward question, Mr. Li choked for a moment. After a while, he said: "You have also seen this problem. In fact, it has also troubled me for a long time. , but then I figured out that what I was thinking was too complicated. This is actually like a multiple-choice question. When you are facing death, conventional methods cannot save you. So, do you choose to wait for death, or spend more than ten years? What about twenty years of life in exchange for my own survival?”
"I understand." Mr. Li's words made sense to Dick.
Maybe this is the reason why there are so many elderly people in Miaoshou Medical Center, and why they are so optimistic, right?
