Chapter 20 Snatching the Medicine

Fang Yue had originally intended to do just that, but he remembered the long periods of amnesia and blankness he’d experienced in the room. This meant that simply carving words on his skin wouldn't work. Before he regained consciousness and saw the words on his arm, he would already be killed by the weigui (evil spirit/monster).

Therefore, he needed the help of the parchment to truly withstand the memory erasure.

After finalizing the plan, Fang Yue asked, "If everything goes according to plan, do you have a way to subdue An Shenyi and force the weigui to leave his body?"

"Subdue?"

Lin Duoduo shook her head. "When you said that the weigui possessing An Shenyi was a Black-rank intermediate, this plan became completely useless. Even what we said earlier about the final blow having to be delivered by you is meaningless. We're preparing for a life-or-death battle with a Black-rank intermediate weigui. It's a fight where we're risking our lives, with no room for holding back."

What?!

Fang Yue was stunned.

That's not what you said before! That's different from what the parchment said!

Fang Yue was a little confused, but soon, he noticed that Lin Duoduo seemed to hesitate, as if she was hiding something.

"Captain Lin Duoduo, is there anything else you're concealing?"

"...You saw through it. Actually, Luo Shenyi, the divine doctor from our village, had relatives who died from possession-type weigui, so he has some research on how to make possession-type weigui leave their hosts. If he's willing to help, perhaps we can save An Shenyi."

"Then what are we waiting for? Ask him to come over!"

"...But he's as famous as An Shenyi, and he's always seen An Shenyi as a rival in medical skills. I don't know if he'll be willing to help."

"Just call him over first and see."

After giving the order, he also had someone bring ink and paper.

The three captains began writing words in hidden places on their clothes, even carving them into their skin with small knives.

The content each of them wrote wasn't exactly the same.

But it was all reminders to help them believe Fang Yue's words and help him kill the weigui when they heard his reminder.

Before long, Luo Shenyi arrived.

He was a hunched-over middle-aged man.

"Luo Shenyi!"

"Luo Shenyi."

Seeing Luo Shenyi, Lin Duoduo and the others greeted him, showing him great respect.

This was understandable. In Guyue Village, even Hong Daifu, whose medical skills were inferior to the two divine doctors, had a high status.

Doctors are always welcome everywhere.

"What do you need me for?"

The three looked at Fang Yue, who simply explained the situation to Luo Shenyi.

"Of course, we have to save him!"

Unexpectedly, Luo Shenyi said with a face full of excitement.

"Although I'm as famous as An Shenyi, in reality, in everyone's heart, my medical skills are inferior to his. Even Captain Lin and the others are no exception."

At this point, Lin Duoduo and the others quickly tried to argue, but Luo Shenyi stopped them.

"You say that, but I know what you're all really thinking! But it doesn't matter! An Shenyi has been possessed by a weigui and needs my help. If I save him this time, my reputation will surely soar. As famous as him? No! I'm going to surpass him! I'll let him experience what I've been feeling all these years!"

Luo Shenyi chuckled coldly, giving people a somewhat dark impression. He wasn't as pure as An Shenyi, who only cared about money and nothing else.

Fang Yue wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "How does Luo Shenyi plan to save him?"

"This is the Baishi Gui Dan (Baiting Evil Pill). After taking it, this person will have an unusual attraction to possession-type weigui, attracting them to possess this person. Then, combined with my three red pills, it can directly kill the possession-type weigui inside the body."

Kill?

Fang Yue's eyes lit up. Snatching kills is my favorite thing!

"As for how to force out the possession-type weigui, in addition to attraction, we also need external pressure. Smear the weapons with the knife oil I brought. Every time you cause an injury, the possessed weigui will generate a repulsive force with the host. Of course, this is only effective against weak weigui. For Black-rank intermediate weigui, there's no way to force it out unless you push it to the extreme."

"That's why I need to research this medicine, the Chigui Xiang (Repelling Evil Incense). This scent also increases the repulsive force between the possession-type weigui and the host's body. According to my research, the phenomenon of weigui possession is similar to human organ transplants. There is a degree of compatibility, but there is basically no 100% compatibility. If there's compatibility, there's naturally reverse rejection. My medicines increase the body's ability to reject the weigui, forcing the weigui to be unable to adapt to the body, and naturally it will leave."

"However, all of this is based on the premise that the weigui hasn't been possessing the host for too long. If the weigui has been possessing the host for several months or even a year or two, then even the gods can't save him."

Luo Shenyi's theory was easy to understand, allowing Fang Yue to understand it at once.

He had a new way of looking at the phenomenon of weigui possession, no longer as mysterious as before.

"By the way, who's responsible for swallowing the Baishi Gui Dan (Baiting Evil Pill)? Let me make it clear in advance that after taking this pill, a large amount of dan du (pill poison) will accumulate instantly. At the same time, there will also be some side effects such as fatigue, dizziness, and weakness in the limbs, which vary from person to person."

"Fortunately, when I experimented on those vagrant test subjects, there was never a case of death due to this pill. So you can take it with confidence."

That's what he said, but Luo Shenyi was looking at Lin Duoduo.

After all, the strongest and highest-ranking person here was Lin Duoduo.

If Lin Duoduo didn't step forward at this time, who would?

Besides, this pill wasn't a poison and didn't have many side effects. For the safety of the village and to eliminate the weigui, Lin Duoduo had no reason to back down.

"I'll do it..."

"Let go of that pill!!"

Two voices sounded almost simultaneously.

Tap, tap, tap!

Fang Yue took three steps in two, snatched the Baishi Gui Dan (Baiting Evil Pill) in the astonished expressions of Lin Duoduo and the others, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.

"As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will?"

"Everyone, we've troubled you with the matter of An Shenyi. Therefore, I must take this Baishi Gui Dan (Baiting Evil Pill) and personally kill that memory-erasing weigui!"

Seeing Fang Yue's determination, Lin Duoduo and the others immediately changed their view of Fang Yue.

"Good, as expected of the future captain of Guyue Village, prioritizing the overall situation. I admire you!"

"Vice-Captain Ye, you're a true man!"

Luo Shenyi sized up Fang Yue for a while. Before, his impression of Fang Yue was limited to a few rumors in the village.

Now, he immediately had a completely different impression.

"Good, good, young man, young and promising, courageous, and with immeasurable potential. Here, take these three pills too. After the memory-erasing weigui possesses you, immediately take them in the order of light red, medium red, and dark red! The order must not be wrong!"

"Also, you don't have to worry about not being able to move after the weigui possesses you. The Baishi Gui Dan (Baiting Evil Pill) has the effect of suppressing the weigui's possession. The suppression time is not short, enough for you to take the pills."

"These three pills also have certain side effects and are a burden on the body. Remember to come to me for medicine to regulate your body afterward. I'll prescribe medicine for you for free. Finally, pay attention to resting more afterward."

Luo Shenyi told Fang Yue the precautions in detail, but Fang Yue ignored them after discovering that these side effects were just minor problems.

As long as these pills were taken at night, Fang Yue even suspected that their side effects wouldn't last for a minute before being eliminated by the Breath of the Night.
