Through conversation, Chu Tian finally understood why they were in the hospital.
Lin Chi and Lin Ran were both orphans, adopted by Lin Yu's father.
Therefore, he naturally gave them their names.
However, they were sent here when they were very young.
As for Lin Yu's parents, they never returned after leaving.
Their master was Lin Yu's maternal grandfather, the true Master Huang.
A year ago, Lin Yu's maternal grandfather suddenly disappeared, and the three of them took over the Huang Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
In the past, when her maternal grandfather was alive, he was a peculiar person, seeing only three patients a day.
Furthermore, he only treated difficult and complicated diseases!
Over time, fewer and fewer people came to the Huang Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic.
After all, how many difficult and complicated diseases could he possibly see?
However, with the old man presiding, many people still came by reputation.
When the old man disappeared, these people, after coming multiple times and being unable to find him, stopped coming.
With no income, the three of them couldn't make a living, so they came up with the idea of impersonating Master Huang.
Over the past year, the Huang Family Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic had indeed gained quite a reputation through their deception.
Lin Yu and her maternal grandfather primarily studied medicine, and at a young age, she was already a 'Qi' martial artist.
It was said that her Qi awakened naturally at the age of twelve, not through breaking through human limits after birth.
This astonished Chu Tian and Gao Kai; now that's what you call a genius.
Her Qi was identical to Master Huang's, a direct inheritance, a special kind of 'Qi' with healing effects.
This made her medical practice twice as effective, and she had truly mastered the Huang Family Thirteen Needles.
She could handle most difficult and complicated diseases with ease.
The senior disciple, Lin Chi, was more unique, being a mutant.
Just as Chu Tian had guessed, he did have a dog's nose, though that was only one of his abilities.
His martial arts were also directly passed down from Master Huang, and he was the most formidable fighter among the three.
The second disciple, Lin Ran, primarily studied Taoist magic and Qimen Dunjia under Master Huang.
It was Lin Ran's doing that he evaded Chu Tian's divine sense lock and led him around for over an hour with three small paper figures.
This Lin Ran greatly interested Chu Tian; as an ordinary person, he could achieve extraordinary feats through Taoist cultivation.
What interested him even more was this Master Huang, a truly remarkable individual, skilled in medicine, martial arts, and Taoist magic and Qimen Dunjia, proficient in all.
He was almost comparable to the eccentric figure known as the "Eastern Heretic" penned by Master Jin.
And, they all shared the surname Huang!
Lin Yu and her companions heard that there were four patients with difficult and complicated illnesses in the hospital, so they naturally stepped in.
However, upon entering the room, the second disciple Lin Ran discovered that the four were not harmed by ordinary yin spirits.
Instead, it was man-made; he determined it was someone practicing Gu, specifically ghost Gu.
The four individuals had been turned into vessels, containers for hatching ghost Gu.
To save them, it was necessary to find the person who practiced Gu. Otherwise, if they rashly dispelled the ghost Gu within the four bodies,
it would surely alert the person who cast the Gu, leading to continuous trouble.
Few who practice Gu are not ruthless individuals.
Thus, Lin Yu extracted some ghost Gu with her needles, and Lin Chi tracked them here using the residual aura from the ghost Gu.
In this way, they encountered Chu Tian and his companions again.
Originally, they planned to check the information and then report the detailed information to Section Nine.
If Section Nine handled the matter, even if the perpetrator escaped, they wouldn't be troubled by him.
Moreover, they could earn money from both sides: a profit from the client and a bounty from Section Nine.
Chu Tian was amused after hearing this. Their plan was quite good.
No danger, and they could make money; how much did they love money?
It wasn't that Chu Tian couldn't understand why he thought this way. He could never have imagined that in this world,
these people with special abilities were even inferior to ordinary people.
Ordinary people still had the protection of national laws.
Whereas these people with special abilities were labeled as dangerous individuals.
Even finding a job and living an ordinary life like normal people was a delusion for them.
If they committed any act that harmed the safety of normal people, they would be either erased or, even if they wished to die, they couldn't.
They would be sent to special laboratories for inhuman experiments.
And the executors of all this were departments like the Ninth Office in various countries.
For wild special ability users, these executors were their 'heaven'!
Chu Tian was still unfamiliar with this world, and many things were still unclear to him.
It was precisely because he was unclear that he dared to break the mold.
"Since you are from Section Nine, this matter will be handled by you. You deal with the source, and we will treat the victims!
Now, let's discuss the price."
As soon as Lin Chi finished speaking, Lin Yu interjected.
Lin Yu did not have a good impression of Chu Tian. Putting aside his peeping, she disliked him simply because they were from the Ninth Office.
She had once suspected that her parents were taken away by people from Section Nine.
She also suspected that Section Nine was responsible for her maternal grandfather's disappearance.
After seeing Chu Tian's identification just now and discovering that he was also the deputy captain of the M team,
she began to dislike Chu Tian even more.
"Money is not a problem, but are you sure that the person you mentioned who practices Gu is inside?" Chu Tian asked.
Lin Chi was stunned, sniffed with his nose, and nodded, "The residual aura of the ghost Gu indeed points to this location as the ultimate source, however..."
"What do you mean?" Chu Tian asked as he hesitated.
"However, why would this Gu master let them go? And so easily point the clue here...
You know, Section Nine is not to be trifled with. I can find this place, and there are even more capable people in Section Nine, so finding this wouldn't be difficult?" Lin Chi said slowly.
"He's right. In my opinion, this matter is not that simple," Gao Kai also agreed with Lin Chi's statement.
"Who cares? Let's smash it first!" Chu Tian stood up.
"Smash?" Everyone looked at Chu Tian in surprise.
"Yes, smash!" Gao Kai and Jing Kaiyu exchanged a glance, as if understanding his meaning.
Lin Chi and Lin Ran exchanged glances, showing some hesitation.
Only Lin Yu, at this moment, looked at Chu Tian with a hint of excitement.
Lin Chi stood up and blocked Chu Tian, "Um, why don't we withdraw first?"
Chu Tian was stunned, but it made sense; they didn't want to cause trouble. He nodded, "Then you guys go ahead!"
As he spoke, he walked out of the private room, followed closely by Gao Kai and Jing Kaiyu.
"Brother, what are you afraid of? Let them smash; we'll just watch the show. If you want to leave, you go first. Second brother will accompany me... Right!"
Lin Ran, who had not said a word throughout, was now being held by the arm by Lin Yu, with a look of helplessness on his face.
After Chu Tian and the others left, they were unaware of what had transpired between the three inside.
Gao Kai whispered, "Xiao Tian, do you want to attract the attention of Section Nine to contact them?"
Chu Tian nodded, his expression calm, and said, "Yes, I need to contact Section Nine as soon as possible. November 26th is only a few days away... Luoluo is still waiting for me!"
Unbeknownst to them, as they spoke in low voices outside, Lin Chi in the private room twitched his ears, and his expression changed drastically.
