The older officer was forcibly suppressing his body's reflexes to avoid, watching helplessly as the knife came straight for his eye. If it hit, he would be a one-eyed man for the rest of his life.
Plop!
The sound of the knife dropping to the ground made the older officer finally blink... his eyes.
The neck ached, the eyes felt dry, and the nerves throughout the body finally relaxed.
The onlookers could see clearly that as the knife approached his eye, it seemed to encounter resistance.
This resistance not only blocked it but also slammed it down towards the ground.
Therefore, the plop sound was somewhat crisp.
The talisman inscribed with the word "safety" in the hands of the senior officer had already burned to ashes.
There was no need for Wen Ying to explain. After thanking her, the two left the clinic with the remaining talisman papers.
Uncle Zhang looked at the scene with satisfaction, exchanged a few pleasantries with Wen Ying, and let his eyes sweep around the clinic. He noticed that many things had been placed in the previously empty space.
Uncle Zhang walked over to the wooden shelf where these items were displayed, picked up something that looked like a small gourd, and asked, "From what era is this? Do you like these antiques?"
"But why is there... what is this? It looks like a spider? No, this is Spider-Man?"
Uncle Zhang couldn't help but twitch his mouth. Men remain boys until death, so their love for great sci-fi movies is beyond imagination. Naturally, he knew about the superhero Spider-Man, but to see such a superhero simplified and drawn on such a small gourd?
Although simplified, Uncle Zhang was certain this was Spider-Man. All the iconic elements were there. One had to admit, Wen Ying's craftsmanship was truly exquisite..
"Spider-Man is so awesome, Uncle Zhang. Don't you think Peppa Pig and Pleasant Goat are too childish? So I chose some sci-fi heroes that everyone likes, keeping up with the times."
"..." It was indeed quite up-to-date, at least the craftsmanship successfully stirred Uncle Zhang's heart.
"How much is this little gourd?"
"Ten thousand"
"So expensive?" Uncle Zhang reacted only after saying it, "So this is an enhanced version of the talisman paper? Ah, no, it's medicine!" Uncle Zhang was a bit annoyed with himself for always saying the wrong thing.
"This little gourd is a special medicine; it can protect you twice and passively attack a malicious target once."
Uncle Zhang was startled, "It's this intelligent?"
After calculating his little schemes in his mind several times, Uncle Zhang still felt that he should take this thing down!
After all, this is not just a single life!
If he hadn't bought the talisman paper in advance this time, his son might have already... How could they bear the pain of a parent burying their child?
Thinking about his secret stash of money, Uncle Zhang looked at the little gourd with a pang of heartache. His entire stash amounted to ten thousand, and if he bought it, he wouldn't even be able to afford a pack of cigarettes.
This price is just right for him to pay.
"Xiao Ying, what about this sword?" Uncle Zhang asked, referring to the sword everyone in the livestream speculated was picked up from the mass grave.
"One hundred thousand"
"This pen?" On a pen that looked as ordinary as could be, a mouth was drawn..
Yes, it was the mouth.
"Fifty thousand"
"This piece of paper?"
"Sixty thousand"
"This jar!"
"Eighty thousand"
Looking at the remaining items, Uncle Zhang immediately stopped, afraid that if he asked more questions, the price of the gourd would go up too. "I won't ask anymore, just this gourd! I'll pay!"
After taking the items, Wen Ying started the live stream.
[The anchor wasn't taken away?]
[Ten minutes, just right! Dr. Wen is so punctual, I'm a fan now! From now on, my idol is also a top streamer with millions of followers!]
Wen Ying looked at the number of online viewers in the live broadcast room, which was already approaching six hundred thousand!
She didn't expect that in the few minutes after she ended the broadcast, not only did the number of viewers not drop, but it actually increased so wildly??
"The usual rule, today there are two slots for fellow patients."
