Chapter 1042 -416: Awakeners School_2

“Enough, enough, this is not something I can manage, even if I were in charge of the entire base, I couldn’t control people’s hearts! If you really find something out, just do what needs to be done. On this matter, the committee is surprisingly unanimous—the murderer must be executed!”

“As long as no one causes trouble, then I’m relieved. I won’t bother you anymore…”

Wang Tao smiled as he stood up.

“Don’t worry about the school, I’ll sort it out as soon as possible! But right now, the focus has to be on the disaster relief…”

“I’m really not in a hurry…”

Gu Yun personally saw Wang Tao and Jiang Shixue out the door.

There was still some time before he needed to go out to buy the medicine that evening, so Wang Tao and his companion returned to the police station to see Qiu Rong once more.

Wang Tao had intended to ask a few more questions to see if anything had been overlooked, but he noticed that Qiu Rong’s condition seemed a bit off.

“Deacon… Mr. Wang, you’re here!”

Wang Tao had previously told Qiu Rong not to call him Deacon in normal circumstances to avoid “exposure,” and naturally, she had agreed.

However, Qiu Rong’s face was much paler than before Wang Tao had left, her lips were almost colorless, and before Wang Tao had arrived, she had been curled up in bed.

“What’s wrong?”

Wang Tao asked curiously. Her condition seemed very bad, but her HP bar hadn’t decreased, indicating there was no danger to her life.

“I, I’m so cold… I want to drink the Holy medicine…”

Qiu Rong looked imploringly at Wang Tao.

The Deacon surely had Holy medicine on him, but her account was temporarily frozen, so she had no money to buy any. She hoped that Wang Tao, the Deacon, would credit her some, but she felt uneasy to say it outright.

As soon as Wang Tao heard ‘Holy medicine,’ he understood what was going on.

The description of the poisoning status on Qiu Rong indicated that if she refrained from taking it for seven days, she could be detoxed; today should be… the third day. That is, symptoms would appear on the third day after poisoning!

Wang Tao hadn’t seen any signs of poisoning on her before, so he wasn’t clear about what situations the poisoning might cause, but now he saw…

“I don’t have any Holy medicine on me right now.”

Wang Tao said.

“Ah?”

When Qiu Rong heard that Wang Tao didn’t have any, she was immediately startled. She subconsciously thought Wang Tao might be deceiving her, after all, the Holy medicine wasn’t cheap, and she couldn’t use her money right now…

“Mr. Wang, though my account is frozen, with your help, it will soon be unfrozen. Could you credit me some… I’ll return double, no, triple the amount later!”

Qiu Rong immediately said.

“I really don’t have any, I’ve used it all up. If I did, I would have given it to you already, it’s not worth much.”

Wang Tao spread his hands.

Qiu Rong then remembered, Wang Tao was an Awakener and wasn’t short of money. So, did Wang Tao really not have any?

Qiu Rong’s face turned even paler in an instant.

“But I’m so cold, I’m in so much discomfort. If I don’t drink the Holy medicine… I might die…”

Seeing Qiu Rong’s pitiable look, Wang Tao felt somewhat puzzled.

“If you know not drinking Holy medicine will kill you, why haven’t you considered quitting?”

As a “Deacon,” saying this was clearly inappropriate, but Qiu Rong was already past caring about that, as she obsessively said:

“It’s because drinking Holy medicine brings pleasure, it gives me a chance to be reborn…”

“Reborn…”

Wang Tao heard this term for the second time.

“I want to be reborn, I want to escape this apocalypse, I want to return to a peaceful world and become a rich man’s young wife…”

Qiu Rong said subconsciously.

“…”

Wang Tao shook his head. This brainwashing was severe!

Suddenly, Qiu Rong seemed to remember something, her face full of anticipation as she looked at Wang Tao and said,

“Mr. Wang, isn’t there an internal Holy medicine transaction tonight? You must be going, right? Could you take me with you… I want to see if I can find the Deacon who gave me the Holy medicine. He mentioned before that I could buy on credit from him…”

Wang Tao instinctively wanted to refuse, but after hearing that Qiu Rong knew the Deacon, it seemed taking her along might be feasible… Since the transaction was entirely anonymous and in disguise, Wang Tao might not find the culprit immediately. However, having interacted with him for so long, Qiu Rong might have some special way of contacting him…

“Alright, I’ll take you with me later.”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Qiu Rong was overjoyed. She quickly thanked Wang Tao.

Seeing Qiu Rong shivering in her thin pajamas, Wang Tao told her to lie down in the bed first, then he went to Li Xin’s room.

Just like Qiu Rong, Li Xin was also in trouble. Her face was pale, shivering from the cold, but her HP wasn’t in danger, indicating her life wasn’t at risk.

“Mr. Wang! Are you here to take me away?”

Seeing Wang Tao, Li Xin’s eyes lit up. She hastily ran down from the bed, not even bothering to put on shoes, and ran towards Wang Tao, as if wanting to throw herself into his arms.

But a small head suddenly appeared behind Wang Tao, a pair of red eyes glanced at Li Xin, and she immediately stiffened. She felt as though she had seen a terrifying monster, and her forehead soon began to seep with cold sweat.

Wang Tao pinched Jiang Shixue’s little hand and then went over to press Li Xin into a nearby chair.

“Mr. Wang, I, I…”

Li Xin indeed had some minor schemes in mind, but at this time she dared not make any moves. The little girl behind Wang Tao was too frightening!

“I came to check if the poison had acted.”

Wang Tao said.

“I…”

Li Xin instinctively wanted to say she wasn’t poisoned, but she wasn’t foolish either. She still hoped Wang Tao would rescue her, so whatever Wang Tao said, she would endure!

“My poison might have acted, I think I need some health medicine…”

In Li Xin’s eyes, she didn’t believe she was poisoned, nor did she think her current condition was due to the poison acting. She rather felt that her current state was the true self, and her resistance to cold was due to the effects brought by the health medicine…

Wang Tao knew Li Xin wasn’t sincere, so he slightly tempted her with the name of the health medicine, and she quickly revealed her real thoughts.

Wang Tao was initially speechless, but soon became serious.

“Looking at it this way, this medicine is quite powerful, it can directly change a person’s cognition… could this probably be a psychic type of drug?”

Wang Tao was still unclear, but he should find out tonight.

Seeing that the time was about right, Wang Tao told Li Xin to rest well, and he headed back to Qiu Rong’s room.

By this time, Qiu Rong had already changed her clothes. She was wrapped in layers of thick clothing, her face also covered with a veil, she even wore glasses. It was hard to recognize her as anyone specific, and unless she spoke, it was probably hard even to distinguish her gender.

Wang Tao took her downstairs, and seeing that the policemen outside didn’t stop him, Qiu Rong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Hui was already waiting for them downstairs. He had also changed clothes, completely wrapped up so that it was impossible to tell he was a policeman. Beside him stood a woman who appeared to be the policewoman from before. Besides these two, there was no one else; too many people would be inconspicuous, and with Wang Tao there, there was no need to worry about adequacy of force.

“We should also change into different clothes.”

Wang Tao had Jiang Hui watch Qiu Rong, then went with Jiang Shixue to the next room, where Jiang Hui had prepared their disguises.

Although Wang Tao was quite tall, there were actually many people of his stature nowadays, so it wasn’t directly assumed to be him, especially after the disguise, looking somewhat like a big, goofy guy. As for Jiang Shixue, similarly wrapped up tightly, she looked like a little penguin. She wasn’t afraid of the cold; this was just to prevent herself from standing out.

Wang Tao found it amusing, patted Jiang Shixue’s head, and then left the police station with Jiang Hui and Qiu Rong.

The Holy medicine transaction was happening in Bamboo Cui Community, a location that was economically poor but geographically advantageous. In simple terms, it was a poor area, teeming with all sorts of people, but it hadn’t experienced the snow disaster and so remained in its original state.

In the heavy snow, a worn-out car wobbled its way there.

Wang Tao was still worried that the Dusk Church had changed the transaction time, especially after recent events like the mayor’s assassination and the snow disaster…

However, they appeared more composed than Wang Tao had anticipated. As soon as he arrived, he sensed that there were quite a few people inside the community.
