Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 238 Asylum

Chu Deng frowned as she waited outside the emergency room. The glaring red light shone brightly, and the air was thick with anxiety.

The distinctive smell of the hospital stimulated her sensitive sense of smell. Chu Deng suppressed her agitation and listened to the sounds of scalpels clashing inside the operating room.

Pei Hanxing got into trouble just because she was three minutes late returning home.

"The bleeding is caused by the rupture of the mutated parts, and the insect carapace is embedded in the flesh. The remaining parts will cause the wound to continue to worsen. It is recommended to remove it completely..."

The doctor's advice seemed to ease Pei Hanxing's tense nerves slightly. He subconsciously glanced at Chu Deng, and Chu Deng met his eyes, noticing the relaxation in his expression.

He dislikes the alienated parts—

Chu Deng already knew this, and for this reason, she specially took out the spider silk that she had obtained in the spider cave that could isolate supernatural abilities, and had it modified into an eye mask to give to Pei Hanxing to cover his mutated eyes.

Recalling Pei Hanxing's occasional awkwardness when they were together, Chu Deng breathed a sigh of relief and reminded herself to pay attention to the patient's emotions and observe her more closely in the future.

Instead of waiting until he broke the insect armor on his hand with blood all over his body before realizing the panic in his heart.

[...A psychologist has been arranged for him. I'll go with him to see the doctor tomorrow morning at eight o'clock.] Chu Deng sent a message to the person in charge of the sanatorium. After receiving a confirmation reply, she heard the noise in the operating room gradually subside, knowing that the person would be out soon.

After the red light went out, Pei Hanxing lay quietly on the movable operating table, her hands wrapped in bandages, like a doll.

"Anti-inflammatory IV drip was administered. The anesthesia ended two hours later. After the IV drip was finished, press the call bell and a nurse will remove the needle."

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Chu Deng nodded, noted down the doctor's instructions, and followed the person back to the ward.

Under the influence of an anesthetic drug specifically for people with superpowers, Pei Hanxing fell into an endless nightmare.

Countless whispers echoed in his ears, and points of light kept trying to touch Pei Hanxing. The scarlet points of light breathed, sometimes large and sometimes small, and turned into a ray of light that extended to Pei Hanxing's hands, head and legs.

Pei Hanxing frowned. The expanding heat made him feel as if he were in a furnace, being roasted and scorched. Pain spread, leaving behind an endless itch...

He opened his eyes, his mutated insect pupils clearly identifying everything in the darkness. Pei Hanxing blinked, the itchy wound on his left hand twitching. He moved his fingers, wanting to untie the bandage.

"Don't move," Chu Deng said, reminding him.

She also heard the tearing sound of the bandages tearing under Pei Hanxing's left hand. Pei Hanxing tensed up abruptly, and when Chu Deng reached out to touch his wound, he couldn't help but gasp, shrinking back his left hand, which was already bleeding.

"Don't look, don't think," Chu Deng said repeatedly, pressing down on Pei Hanxing's right wrist. "I know the insect armor has grown back, and I promise I'll find a way to solve it."

Her clear voice sounded somewhat cold in the night, but her slowed speech revealed a rare gentleness.

"Don't let the wound reopen before then; the sight of you covered in blood terrifies me."

"I'm sorry..." Pei Hanxing's voice was a little hoarse. He said softly, his voice trembling slightly, "I just feel... disgusted..."

"Go to sleep," Chu Deng said softly, neither confirming nor denying.

She placed her warm palm on his forehead, then gently brushed away his messy hair with her fingers.

Pei Hanxing's vertical black pupils slowly relaxed, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep. This time, under Chu Deng's protection, there were no more noisy murmurs disturbing his dream.

A red light flashed in Chu Deng's eyes, and he severed all the light spots that were approaching Pei Hanxing.
