Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Blow on it and it won’t hurt_1

In the past, Lador had always thought the corporation was the most powerful and untouchable entity in the world, but now he felt that maybe he should rank the Law Enforcers of District 17 even above the corporations.

Even Unified Technology couldn’t transform Cyber madmen into such monsters that, after being blown into char, could regenerate in a short period of time.

The madman still belongs to the category of humans, but that thing just now was definitely not human; it was some kind of evil creature in human skin, and even just making eye contact with the parasitic eyeball inside Sammuen made him feel cold in his hands and feet up to this moment.

As the hovercar landed on the rooftop of the prosthetic hospital, he was quickly lifted onto a stretcher by the doctors and rushed into the emergency room.

Considering the medical level of 2166, having a hole stabbed through the lower abdomen wasn’t a fatal wound, just some simple treatment was needed, and full recovery could be expected within a few days.

Watching Lador being taken into the emergency room by the doctors, Lu Xiang’s heart finally relaxed.

As long as Lador survived, he could provide them with more insider information about Unified Technology. When he spoke about the missing persons cases, she finally understood why Unified Technology was in such a hurry to erase all personnel related to Anfiya’s parents’ case, because it was not just about a single crime, but related to the long-standing issue of missing persons in District 17.

In fact, even with today’s improved security environment, the issue of missing persons hasn’t been alleviated, and she had thought it was related to human trafficking, but she didn’t expect that it was actually caused by Unified Technology.

Another unexpected thing for her was that the person who came to their support turned out to be Sammuen, who had supposedly been "taken care of" earlier.

She knew that Sammuen must have been parasitized, and it was the Devourer who was controlling his body just now.

However, considering that the Devourer was able to parasitize even a three-star rescuer, it made sense to control a Cyber madman who had lost his sense of self.

"Are you okay?"

Not long after Lu Xiang arrived at the hospital, Song Lan rode hurriedly over on his bicycle from the landfill.

The Devourer had brought a message—Lu Xiang had been injured in the Cyber madman’s attack, which made him immediately stop the discussion about the future possibilities of the Shadow Guard with Medea and Dr. Bai Zhu and rush to the hospital as soon as possible.

"No...."

As Lu Xiang saw the anxious Song Lan arriving, she started to instinctively say she was fine, with only some scrapes on her arm that could heal with some emergency spray, but then she suddenly thought of something, lifted her right arm, and showed the abrasion to Song Lan.

She frowned, looked at him with a pitiful expression, and whispered, "It hurts a bit."

Ever since she read "A Love Tip Every Day," she felt that she was getting better at letting go of her pride.

In school, crying out about such a wound would result in major points deducted and laughter from classmates and teachers, but in front of Song Lan, it was a different scenario.

She handed over the emergency spray to Song Lan, her voice getting softer and softer, "Blow... blow..."

"Hmm?"

"It’s inconvenient for me to deal with it myself, help me out."

However, Lu Xiang ultimately couldn’t bring herself to say the line marked in the handbook, "A blow will make the pain go away,"—she simply couldn’t imagine who could have come up with such a phrase. But at least her practice was not enough, and the words "It hurts a bit" were already her current limit.

Luckily, Song Lan was completely focused on the scrape on her forearm and didn’t notice her embarrassment.

The injury on Lu Xiang’s arm made him empathize.

He had experienced it too when he fell off his bike and hit a rock as a child; even though the wound didn’t look as severe as Lu Xiang’s, it had hurt him for several days.

After letting Song Lan help treat her wound, Lu Xiang naturally "lent" her arm to him, held by Song Lan’s hands, it felt warm and comforting.

"Director Lu, I do know a little trick."

Song Lan’s thoughts drifted back to a nasty spill he had taken as a child. He too had returned home pitifully, receiving the same care from his mother as Lu Xiang, where she helped treat his wound, and he still remembered the searing pain when iodine touched the abrasion.

"Hmm?"

"As a child, I heard someone say that blowing on it would make the pain go away."

Lu Xiang stopped short.

In a haze, the cool breath skimmed over the wound on her arm, the subtle sensation making her feel as if the moment was somewhat surreal.

She hadn’t expected Song Lan to voice the words she hesitated to say and naturally put them into action. For someone who had been on the battlefield and involved in countless covert operations, this was a novel experience she’d never had before.

In the past, unless it was an injury as severe as missing limbs, they would often grit their teeth and deal with it themselves; for this purpose, the school had specifically designed a battlefield first aid course for them.

"Does it feel better?"

"Yes."

Lu Xiang leaned back in a chair in the hospital corridor, her gaze shifting from Song Lan to rest on the immaculate ceiling above.

At that moment, she grasped the essence of "A Love Tip Every Day" more profoundly. These seemingly ordinary words and actions could bring a power that struck at the heart, allowing her to temporarily cast aside the trivial matters in her mind and quietly enjoy the brief peace of the moment.

After spraying emergency spray on the wound and disinfecting it, Song Lan carefully wrapped the injury with gauze and then shared his past experience with Lu Xiang, "I have a lot of experience with this. The first night is the most painful. Go home, get some rest, and after a good night’s sleep, it’ll feel much better."

"What kind of experience?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiang asked curiously. In her impression, Song Lan was not one to get hurt easily but rather someone who made others get injured.

She couldn’t think of any situation that would expose Song Lan to the feeling of being hurt.

"Don’t get me started, one day after school I was racing bikes with some classmates, and I didn’t see a rock this big up ahead."

While talking, Song Lan vividly gestured with both hands in front of Lu Xiang, shaping a stone about the size of a steamed bun.

"You might not believe it, but when I was flung from the bike, I thought my life had come to an end. I lay on the ground for a good while with my brain in a complete blank, and it wasn’t until my classmates helped me up that I realized my arm was excruciatingly painful."

"Pfft..."

As Lu Xiang listened, her furrowed eyebrows relaxed, and she laughed out loud, quickly adding, "Don’t get me wrong, I’m not laughing at you."

This was indeed a scenario beyond her wildest dreams.

Who would have thought that the "enthusiastic citizen," who defeated Wild Bone and a series of tough characters, could also be someone tripped by a stone while riding a bike?

"Then you’d better be careful when you ride a bike in the future."

"Absolutely, no one in District Seventeen is more careful than me when biking."

Song Lan assured with a pat on his chest.

"If you fall by accident, come to me."

Lu Xiang turned her face, her eyes shimmering like water, "Then I’ll blow on it for you, that way it won’t hurt."
