The policemen worked together to dig down one meter. One of the policemen's shovel made a thud.
"There's a box down there."
"Bring it up." The policemen lifted the box up and opened it. They realized that there really was a mother and daughter inside. They weren't wearing any clothes and had some injuries.
Chen Zhao's face was also filled with shock. "Wait … They're not dead!!"
"What?"
"David, call the ambulance. Wanda, bring my box over."
Chen Zhao took off his jacket and covered Amanda. The other policeman also took off his jacket and covered Aisha.
The mother and daughter were already in a deep coma. Moreover, they'd been severely injured before this.
Chen Zhao didn't know how long they'd been buried. The box was big, but it was probably only a few hours' worth of air. It was really hard to imagine how they'd made it.
Chen Zhao had to give them first aid. They couldn't waste a single minute.
"Move aside. They're in a state of suspended animation. It's very dangerous. Mr. Bord, you too."
The policemen and Bord couldn't do anything. They could only move back slightly.
"How long will the ambulance take?" Chen Zhao asked as he fed the medicine made from perfect crystal powder to them.
It was already very dark. The policemen used flashlights, but it still affected his vision.
"About 15 minutes."
As long as they weren't dead, Chen Zhao was confident that he could save them. However, he could only save their lives. As for their psychological injuries, Chen Zhao couldn't do anything.
The doctor in the ambulance was Chen Zhao's old acquaintance, Faur.
"It's you?"
"Mr. Chen, do you know each other?" David asked curiously.
"Kind of. We're both doctors, after all."
"Ms. Faur, why are you looking at me like that? This isn't the time to be distracted. The mother and daughter's lives are counting on you."
"Since you're here, I believe their lives won't be in danger," Faur said.
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, buddy. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."
"Mr. Chen, let me send you," David offered.
"I live quite far away in Mountain Town. Are you sure you want to send me?"
"There aren't any soldiers around here."
"Okay, thank you."
"No, we should be the ones thanking you. You saved a mother and daughter, a family."
"Unfortunately, I can't save more people."
"Mr. Chen …"
"Call me Chen."
"Chen, if they're not dead, why can you see their souls?"
"I don't know. I'm just an amateur spiritualist. You should find a professional spiritualist to ask about this." Chen Zhao also wanted to know. He would ask Blackie when he got back.
"You are the most professional spiritualist I have ever seen."
An hour later, David looked at Chen Zhao's house. "You live here? This place looks … "
"Gloomy, is it? I rented this house. It's haunted. "
"Uh … You're still staying here when it's haunted?"
"Because it's cheap."
"Alright, but you probably won't mind. After all, you're a spiritualist."
"Do you want to come in?"
"Forget it. I need to rush back to the police station. Maybe next time."
"Alright then. By the way, don't forget to help me find my friend."
"Alright, if there's any news, I'll inform you immediately."
…
"Doctor, how are my wife and daughter? How are they now? "
"Their vital signs are very stable, and their lives are not in danger. However, your daughter's brain has been deprived of oxygen for a long time, so it's very likely that …"
"Likely what?"
"Brain damage. She might be in a coma for a long time. It might also affect her intelligence."
"How could this be … How could this be … Doctor, Ai Sha is only 12 years old, please cure her, please …"
"That's just the worst possibility. If she really goes into a coma or suffers brain damage, it's almost impossible to cure with current medical technology."
"I don't care how much it costs, please cure my daughter …"
"I can't do it … But maybe that person can," Fali said, looking at Bord.
"That person? Who? Where is he? "
"The person who was with you earlier, that Asian. I think he's called Chen, right?"
"He can?"
"Yes. Go beg him. If he's willing, he might be able to cure your daughter."
"Can he really do that?"
"You don't have any other choice, right?"
"I'll go find him."
"Oh, don't tell him that I told you."
"Why?"
"I have some grudges against him. If he hears that I told you, he might reject you. Do you understand?"
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor."
…
Chen Zhao was in Blackie's castle at the moment. If Blackie was at home, he would be in the lab with Chen Zhao.
"Blackie, I met the souls of a mother and daughter today. They didn't die, but their souls appeared before me. What's going on?"
"That's a living soul. It will appear after losing consciousness. However, there are many reasons for it to appear. A strong individual's will, or an obsession with life, or a fear of death, or a wish that hasn't been let go of, can cause a living soul to appear."
"Oh, that girl's soul can do some unimaginable things. She can physically move objects."
"Oh? That's a soul with psychic talent. "
"Psychic? A spiritualist? "
"Yes, you should be a spiritualist too."
"Me too?"
"Sort of."
"What do you mean sort of?"
"Spiritualists can only communicate with souls. They can't talk to demons. They can't even see me, but you can control demons."
"Looks like I'm more … badass."
"Every spiritualist awakens after going through a life and death crisis. That girl has already awakened. She's gone through a death crisis, but now she has to face a life crisis."
"What do you mean?"
"A death crisis is the injury she suffered before, but because of your intervention, she passed it. Now, it's a life crisis. If she can't pass it, she'll never wake up."
"What will happen to her?"
"Right now, she's like a shining jewel. Many, many evil spirits will sense her existence. Perhaps all the evil spirits in the city will sense her, find her, and devour her."
"Doesn't that mean she's in danger now?"
"Yes, very dangerous. Not just her, but the people around her are in danger too."
"Can you protect her for me?"
Blackie smiled. He was faceless, but Chen Zhao could still feel his smile.
"Tell me, what's the price?"
"I'll help you get rid of an evil spirit for a year's worth of demonic crystals."
