Chapter 031 Second meeting
…
An old man is quietly sleeping inside the hospital room. The machine connected to his body would beep constantly as it indicates his condition. The eyes of the old man would unconsciously twitch every now and then as if he is in a deep dream.
As Sung Jisoo enters the room, she quickly looks at the door and then at the old man on the bed. She then began checking the surroundings.
Sensing that no one is inside, she quickly walked beside the bed.
The room is lavishly decorated and one could tell that those that are able to afford such hospital rooms are only the rich and those with authority.
"I guess even if I ask them 100,000 credits this family could still afford it, right?" she thought as she walked beside the bed.
Sung Jisoo carefully checked the old man by making her palm hover over his head.
When her palm reaches an inch near his head, arcs of hairline electric spark appear.
This is the trace of her Reiki that enters the old man's body. Since she is checking the frail body of the old man, she could not touch him directly as it would cause diverse effects on him.
"Hmm… This old man seemed to have suffered a lot these days…" she muttered with her eyes closed.
She can see his body's internal structure like a 3D image.
It took her around 5 minutes to clearly see the status of the old man's body.
"So there are a lot of veins that were clogged in his body… I should first dissolve those accumulated fats inside, and then invigorate his veins… This is going to take a lot from me…" she muttered after retracting her hands.
"Let's start with the use of needles…"
Sung Jisoo positioned herself and slowly opened the hospital gown of the old man.
Then without hesitation, she began inserting the needles directly through the skin and towards the affected veins of the old man.
In western medicine, doctors would usually use medicine to induce the body's function to do these kinds of repairs. But the problem with the use of medicine is the side effect.
But with the use of Reiki, she is able to do the same thing without inducing anything in the old man's body.
After the needles are inserted in their right position, she began to channel her Reiki on them while having her other hand in a scanning mode.
It took her a minute or two before the fats in the blood vessels of the old man were cleared and pressure in his vessel normalized.
She then began to insert some needles into his head where there are a few blood clots. By using her Reiki she is able to dissolve the clots and cleared the old man's condition.
But then she inserted another needle into a particular location in his head.
As the old man regained his consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Ugh…" he moaned as he tried to clear his sight.
"Hello!" Sung Jisoo greeted him with a smile.
The old man showed confusion in his eyes while looking at the young woman before him.
"Are… are you an angel?" he asked confusedly.
"Why? Am I that pretty?" Sung Jisoo teased while blinking her long eyelashes.
The old man could not help but show a faint smile on his face.
"Sigh… if only my youngest grandson could have met, you... I think he would not have taken his life…" he muttered with a hint of sadness.
"Hihi… I'm not an angel, grandpa… I'm just someone who wanted to make a deal with you…" she said.
"The devil?" he asked feeling a bit scared.
"No… What… what are you talking about old man?" she suddenly feels a bit frustrated.
"Look here… I'm just here to heal you… But there is a condition… You have to pay."
"With my life? I'm already this old…"
"Are you trying to pull my leg? Money, of course… Pay me 100,000 credits in 3 days... or else, you will become unconscious again. Do we have a deal?"
Seeing her serious expression, Thomas Yang knew that the beautiful young woman is actually being serious.
But he is now feeling a bit of doubt.
She walked to the side and began writing something on a piece of blank cardboard.
"This is my account and this is my number… Alright, see you in 3 days…" Sung Jisoo said as she handed the old man the calling card-sized cardboard.
The old man looks at the few strings of number and then frowned. When he looks back up, he saw no one.
It was as if the woman just appears inside the room like a ghost.
"What… what is she? A ghost?" he muttered but he also could not deny that he is holding something in his hand.
Thomas Yang feels his body, but when he tried to move, he suddenly feels a bit of pain.
"Anyone outside!" he called a bit loudly.
When the guards heard this, they quickly enter the ward.
When the two of them saw that the old master actually woke up, one of them immediately went out to the nurse's station and took out his phone to call the Yang family.
Meanwhile, Sung Jisoo has already arrived on the ground floor and walked out of the hospital stealthily.
Her figure quickly blended among the pedestrian walking on the sidewalk.
"Hmm… What should I do today?" she muttered while looking at the time on her phone.
Since she still has a lot of time on her hand before Sonya and Anne goes home, she decided to stroll for a bit.
In healing that old man, she expended a large amount of Reiki. Although it is not enough to drain her, she still did not want to just let it be and not absorb more Reiki to replenish those she lost.
There is a place that she discovered which contains a lot of small amounts of Reiki. That place is a bit of a distance from the hospital and many people would always go there to pray.
She discovered this place while roaming the city one time while looking for a Reiki source.
It was one of the churches in the city.
Before going to that place, she wore her thick sunglasses and puts on a face mask.
As soon as she arrives, she could feel the strange aura in the air.
"This place is not as bountiful as the last time…" she muttered as she walks inside.
She could see only a few devotees praying inside the church.
Sung Jisoo began by walking close to the old lady sitting on the bench while praying profusely.
When she got close, she could feel that the old lady does not have that much Reiki in her body.
"Well, how could she have Reiki when she just complains and asks…" she thought.
She then saw a middle-aged woman who is also praying while showing a happy expression on her face.
When she saw this, her eyebrow quickly jumped.
Sung Jisoo did not hesitate to walk near the middle-aged lady and then extend her palm near the lower back of the middle-aged lady.
She began absorbing the Reiki coming out of her.
"She is very thankful… This is why she has a lot of Reiki…"
The figure of Sung Jisoo began to go around the church, and after 30 minutes she reluctantly walks out of the building.
"I can only get that much…" she thought as she shakes her head in dismay.
While walking out, she saw an ice cream stand and excitedly walks towards it. She bought two ice cream cones and took off her mask while enjoying them.
After that, she walked to the park and walks calmly as she enjoys the scenery.
While walking, she suddenly noticed a familiar figure calmly sitting on a bench. He has removed his coat and his forehead is sweating profusely.
She could tell that something is wrong with him.
He carefully loosens his tie, as she leaned on the bench.
"Oh, it's the handsome mortal…" she thought as she recalled seeing this guy at the Vie City Treasure chest.
She walked closer to the guy and then observes his condition.
"Hmm… You're drugged." She muttered.
The handsome young man is Arthur Tang, the vice-chairman of the Blue Diamond business group.
She did not know what happened to him or how he was able to arrive in the park with his condition, but she could not help but observe him further.
While looking at his handsome face, Sung Jisoo could not help but blush. Especially when she took a peek at his chest muscle after he loosened the upper button of his shirt.
As she walks closer, she suddenly greeted him with a smile.
"Hello! It seems that you're in trouble…"
"Ugh… Get… Get away from me… for your own sake…" he said with a staggering voice.
Sung Jisoo feels a bit weird that the guy is actually concerned more for her than for himself.
"Hmm… You're going to be fine… Luckily for you, the drug is not that potent, or rather… you have not ingested a large amount of it… But the problem is, you'll get addicted to this if not settled properly…" she explained.
"What... Addicted… What do you… mean by that?" he said staggeringly.
"Alright, enough talk… I think you should relax while I help you, okay?" Sung Jisoo takes out a talisman from her phone belt bag.
She then walks closer to him and began unfolding the talisman.
"This will feel weird so bear with it…" she said as she sticks the talisman on his forehead.
She also sticks a few talismans around them to conceal their presence.
Then using her acupunctures, she helps detoxify the drug effect from his system.
30 minutes later…
Sung Jisoo takes out the needles and then the talisman on his forehead.
Arthur Tang suddenly threw up something and it made him feel shocked to see a dark pool of blood on the ground.
Suddenly, the two saw a few figures running towards them.
Among them is a beautiful woman showing an annoyed expression.
"Find Arthur! I won't let him escape!" she said in annoyance.
The beautiful woman began walking towards the bench wanting to sit and rest for a while.
