Chen Zhao hurried to the hospital.
By then, Fali had already been sent to the hospital.
When Chen Zhao arrived, Robio, Igor, and the others were standing outside the door.
"Robio, where's Fali? What's the situation? "Chen Zhao asked anxiously.
"Fali's in the emergency room," Robio said.
He didn't know how to face Chen Zhao.
After all, he'd promised Chen Zhao that he'd take good care of Fali.
But now, something had happened.
Of course, it was hard to say how serious the situation was.
"I'll go in and take a look." Chen Zhao pushed open the door.
Seeing Chen Zhao come in, the doctor frowned. "Get out."
"Get out." Ignoring the doctor's attitude, Chen Zhao walked toward Fali.
"You're here."
Fali's voice was weak.
Chen Zhao put down the suitcase and glanced at the doctor. "Excuse me."
"You …"
"I'm a doctor too."
"That doesn't mean you can come here and disturb my work."
Chen Zhao waved his finger. "At the same time, I'm rich too. Very rich, so I can."
Then, the emergency doctor made way for him.
Clearly, he knew that going against the rich wasn't a wise choice.
In fact, he would occasionally accept some part-time jobs, similar to Chen Zhao.
Moreover, most of the patients he accepted were rich, so he knew the power and influence of the rich.
"Thank you. Please give us some peace and close the door."
After chasing the doctor out, Chen Zhao's heart ached when he saw Fali's swollen hand, which was three times its original size. There was also a round, fat octopus on it.
"You didn't take it off?" Chen Zhao asked, frowning.
"I can't. It hurts when I pull," Fali said. "Really."
"What about now?"
"It doesn't hurt now. The octopus's poison might have a numbing effect. As long as you don't pull it by force, it won't hurt too much."
Chen Zhao looked at the octopus. It seemed to have a faint magical aura.
Chen Zhao pinched the octopus's head. It was swollen, but it was empty.
Chen Zhao took out a scalpel, planning to cut the octopus.
Just then, the octopus suddenly reached out with a tentacle and grabbed Chen Zhao's right hand.
"Huh?"
The suckers on the tentacles quickly stuck to the back of his hand.
At the same time, spikes extended from the sucker, trying to penetrate his skin.
Unfortunately, the little octopus was helpless against Chen Zhao, who had thick skin and flesh.
Chen Zhao used the scalpel to cut off the octopus's tentacles.
But just then, Fali suddenly felt dizzy. At the same time, the octopus's broken tentacles quickly grew back.
He could feel that Fali's life force was being absorbed by the octopus.
Chen Zhao's expression changed. This thing really wasn't a natural creature.
Chen Zhao cut open the octopus's head.
In an instant, a wave of magic power that was neither strong nor weak gushed out of the hole in the giant head.
The octopus also lost its life. It wriggled a few times and fell off the back of Fali's hand.
"Chen, this is …"
"I don't know what it is, but it's not a natural creature." At the same time, he took out a bottle of medicine made of demonic crystals. "Drink this. I'll find something else for you later. This thing is a bit poisonous."
After drinking the medicine, Fali's complexion recovered a lot.
However, she couldn't recover her lost life force in a short time.
In fact, it was a permanent loss.
Fali wasn't injured either. The strange octopus had a bit of paralysis poison.
This wasn't a big problem. Even with Fali's own body, the poison would be eliminated in a few hours.
After taking off the octopus, Fali's hand was much less swollen.
"Let's go home first," Chen Zhao said.
"There's another person who drowned. He was also bitten by the octopus."
"Yes. Most of his life force was probably sucked away," Chen Zhao said. "After I make the medicine for you, I'll send some to him too."
"Okay." Fali nodded.
But before leaving, Chen Zhao quietly put away the octopus's stone.
When they got home, the children all came to greet Fali after learning that she was injured.
Gerlyn was crying her eyes out.
She didn't know how serious Fali's injury was. She just looked at Fali's face and thought that it was very serious.
Chen Zhao entered Blackie's alternate space.
"Blackie, help me see what this is." Chen Zhao tossed the octopus's stone before Blackie.
"Isn't this just a regular octopus?" Blackie studied it for a long time but couldn't find anything.
"Octopus? Regular octopuses can suck people's life force? "
"This thing can suck people's life force?" Blackie was surprised.
After studying it for a while, Blackie said in surprise, "This thing should be an octopus, but it seems to have been affected by something and mutated, but not much."
"Are you sure it's an acquired mutation?"
"Yes. This octopus's body is still an octopus. There's not much change."
Blackie did research on biology every now and then, so he was more familiar with biology than Chen Zhao.
Of course, Blackie couldn't kill directly.
So, Chen Zhao usually gave him dead creatures.
Most of the time, Chen Zhao would bring some of his enemies to Blackie for research.
"To mutate a regular octopus into an unnatural creature without a huge mutation, one possibility is that the person responsible for the modification is very skilled. Another possibility is that the modification process is compatible with the octopus's genes, just like how creatures of the same species can reproduce in nature. Maybe it's not a modification, but a reproduction."
"You mean … someone or some unnatural creature reproduced with the octopus and gave birth to this octopus?"
"That makes sense, but I'm not sure about the specifics. Everything is just my personal speculation."
After leaving the alternate space, Chen Zhao suddenly received a call from West.
"President, something happened. Come quickly."
"Huh? What's wrong? "
"A large number of supernatural creatures have appeared on the LA coastline. Dozens of people have been attacked. One is seriously injured and already dead."
"Supernatural creature? Is it an octopus? "
"President, you know?"
"Fali was attacked too. That thing can suck people's life force," Chen Zhao said. "I'll go now."
Dozens of people had been attacked and there were casualties. This was a serious incident in the supernatural world.
The Supernatural Organization was responsible for this, so Chen Zhao didn't dare to delay. He immediately rushed to the organization.
