Am I going to be sacrificed too?

Chapter 42 Medical Expenses of 8 Silver Coins

"The gods were killed by evil gods!"

You Mengxing's eyes widened. She never imagined that her whim to visit the Misty Ruins to see if there was anything strange would lead her to discover the truth about the end of the world.

But despite her surprise, she didn't readily believe the record: "I can't confirm the authenticity of this log; it might have been made up by someone."

The contents of this log are too fragmented, mostly consisting of Anashik's experiments and a large amount of data records. Youmengxing is not interested in this. Perhaps the research at the Sanctuary would need this data. If we tear up the parts about the gods and give them to them, we can probably sell them for a good price.

"This diary was unearthed from these ruins, which means this place used to be Haikawa City?"

But why is there no sign of the Emerald Tree? The Misty Ruins are nothing but a hazy mist and ruins; not even a trace of the Emerald Tree can be seen.

Is it because too much time has passed and the memories have been worn away?

After thinking it over and over without finding an answer, You Mengxing sighed and could only treat it as a "strange tale" without any evidence. She had seen many similar strange tales, and most of them could not be found out the truth.

As payment, You Mengxing left with the notebook without looking back, leaving the cultists staring at each other in bewilderment.

They watched as You Mengxing's expression changed rapidly, wondering what she had seen.

This traveler must be really rich.

Hefting the heavy silver coins in his hand, he realized there were quite a few. Had they really come here to work?

The cultist grinned: "I heard the supplies for Strange Stone City will arrive this afternoon, and there's a lot of good stuff in there. While we still have these supplies, why don't we go have some fun today?"

"I think it's fine. Anyway, the mission still has a week left, so there's no rush."

After discussing it, the group agreed to the decision. In any case, the Blood Moon Church would soon have its eye on these supplies and might even try to sabotage them.

Their current act of consuming the enemy's resources is also a way of helping the church.

……

Under the cover of night, undercurrents surged, and the entire Qishi Province seemed to enter an accelerated phase. Everyone was in motion, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated Qishi City.

Whether you're genuinely busy or just pretending, get moving first, otherwise your boss will see and start controlling you.

Many people noticed the unusual atmosphere, and it was foreseeable that something big would happen in the Province of Strange Stones soon.

Between Strange Stone City and the Blood Moon Church, it's likely that only one of them will survive.

After lying in bed for half a day, Bai Yan's injuries had stopped thanks to his powerful and extraordinary physique, and he had basically regained his normal mobility.

He murmured an uncoordinated prayer: "Lord of the lost, praise be to the great nothingness and chaos..."

The morning sunlight streamed in through the window. Li Miaoyu pushed open the door and entered, carrying two breakfasts in her hands. She asked in confusion, "What are you mumbling about?"

"It's nothing, just praying to the god I believe in."

"Gods?"

Li Miaoyu suddenly realized, "That's right, you're the chosen one!"

Isn't it natural for chosen people to believe in the gods of their own pantheon?

"I was saying I felt like I'd forgotten something, and now that you mention it, I remember—you're a chosen one!"

She had been busy healing Bai Yan and hadn't had time to think about anything else. Now that she had calmed down, she finally remembered what had happened last night.

They've been through a major battle!

Li Miaoyu has lived in Qishi City for many years. There aren't many Chosen Ones in this place, but there aren't few either.

The fact that Bai Yan was a chosen one only surprised her somewhat.

Bai Yan apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. Those people yesterday were all people I didn't get along with. That cultist was also my enemy. It's all my fault. I didn't tell you my identity before, which caused you to suffer an undeserved disaster."

Li Miaoyu shook her head: "You don't need to apologize. I'm the one who should apologize. If I hadn't been curious and taken you to that kind of place, we wouldn't have met those people."

"I…"

"Sigh, let's not talk about that anymore."

Li Miaoyu interrupted him: "You don't need to worry so much. The commotion last night was so loud, the patrol team must have heard it. They won't let the cultists cause trouble in the city."

Bai Yan frowned and said, "But what if we can't deal with him in a short time? He's already got his eye on me. That madman Liu Musen is capable of anything to get revenge on me, and he might even try to harm you in the future."

"Let's see who dares to mess with our witty remarks." Fan Ling walked into the ward carrying several IV drips, speaking with an air of dominance.

Li Miaoyu took Fan Ling's arm and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll be staying with Sister Fan Ling for the next few days, no one will dare to cause trouble here."

According to Li Miaoyu, Fan Ling is a well-known doctor in the outer city, and even has considerable connections in the inner city. Although she is not a chosen one, ordinary low-level chosen ones still have to give her some face.

Fan Ling reattached the IV drip, then adjusted her glasses and focused her gaze on the medical record in her hand: "Your injuries are not very serious. It's just a penetrating wound to the skin and flesh, which caused excessive blood loss. It didn't damage your internal organs or bones. With your superhuman physique, you'll recover in no time."

There are also medical expenses, totaling eight thousand silver coins. Don't forget to pay.

So expensive!

Even in Strange Stone City, medical supplies are a scarce resource.

Bai Yan looked embarrassed: "I don't have that much money right now."

"Oh? Young man, do you know what the consequences are of defaulting on your debts in Strange Stone City? It won't just be a matter of shedding some blood, you know~"

Li Miaoyu hugged her tightly and said coquettishly, "Oh, Sister Fan Ling! Can't you give me a discount because I'm so cute?"

Fan Ling couldn't help but smile at Li Miaoyu's witty remarks, saying, "Okay, okay, I promise you, stop shaking me."

But a discount is impossible. Every expense of the clinic has to be reported. This is not a price I can decide casually. However, for Xiaoyu's sake, I can give you a three-month extension.

Pay this medical bill within three months, otherwise... don't worry too much. If it's not about supernatural resources, but simply about silver coins, supernatural individuals can earn money very quickly, provided they have the determination.

After saying that, Fan Ling left the room without saying anything more.

Li Miaoyu said, "Don't worry too much about it. That's just how Sister Fan Ling is—sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. Just say a few nice words to her, and I'll find a way to help you pay part of it."

Bai Yan chuckled: "I was the one who got injured, how could I let you pay? Do I look like the kind of person who just loafs around and waits to die?"

Li Miaoyu smiled and said, "I knew you would say that. Oh, by the way, why don't you tell me about the god you believe in? Speaking of which, you said you were the first chosen one I ever met."

As she spoke, she unpacked the breakfast she had brought: "Come and have breakfast, let's chat while we eat."
