#437 - Chapter 436 Natural Death
Soon, with Qi Jing's all-out sprint, he finally arrived at the inconspicuous little village of his old home.
Just stepping into the quiet street corner, which was the same as usual, he shrunk his Observation Haki into a line, trying to sense the familiar little courtyard as quickly as possible.
Closer, just two steps away!
Seeing his grandparents lying lifelessly on the ground, their life force slowly draining away, Qi Jing's heart sank heavily, even though he had already prepared himself.
He quickly activated the Withered Leaf Spirit and the Loving Heart Magic Wand, trying to save the two old people's lives.
Then, without caring whether the two magical artifacts would work, Qi Jing stuffed a life-saving elixir from his Uncle Huanhuan into each of their mouths.
You guys, swallow it quickly!
Anxious, Qi Jing froze for half a second before remembering that the elixir needed to be swallowed actively.
He hurriedly and carefully used the Crane Control Capturing Dragon technique, slowly helping them move the green elixir from their mouths to their stomachs.
Seeing the elixir slowly dissolving in their bodies, Qi Jing looked at their faces expectantly.
Wake up! Wake up quickly!
Why isn't there any reaction!
Right, I still have a life-saving medicine! Leg-Stretching Eye-Popping Pill.
This is an elixir containing divine power, it will definitely save you!
As soon as Qi Jing put the Leg-Stretching Eye-Popping Pill into his grandfather's mouth, it suddenly turned into a water-like fluid and slid down.
It moved!
What Qi Jing was hoping for most now was to see something moving, and although it wasn't his grandparents' bodies that moved, it gave him great hope.
Such a magical way of taking it, it must be useful!
Clutching at straws, Qi Jing put another Leg-Stretching Eye-Popping Pill into his grandmother's mouth, then waited for them to open their tightly closed eyes as if waking up from a normal sleep.
But after waiting for a few seconds, there was still no movement.
Why! Why hasn't there been any awakening even though Observation Haki sensed that your life force has greatly increased!
No, I can't save them myself, I have to go to the hospital!
Qi Jing took out the Golden Phoebe coffin he had drawn before, which could permanently preserve the state of the corpse.
He picked up his grandparents' bodies and gently placed them inside.
Grandpa, you lie inside for a while, just pretend you're sleeping.
Grandma, this bed is a bit small, please bear with Grandpa and squeeze together for a while, you can come out when you wake up later.
Damn coffin, why is it a coffin that can preserve corpses, Grandpa and Grandma aren't going to die! Why should they sleep in a coffin!
Qi Jing cursed the coffin in his heart, but he was also grateful for it.
If it weren't for it, how could he protect their bodies.
After closing the coffin lid, Qi Jing put it back into his space with a gloomy face, and then rushed back to the bedroom in his home the way he came.
He wanted to return to the academy through the teleportation gate to find a healing esper to save them!
Two minutes! Just two minutes!
At this moment, Qi Jing couldn't bother to seek revenge on the three dwarves, all he wanted now was to save his grandparents.
In these two minutes of frantic running, Qi Jing's mind couldn't stop racing.
Was it that if he hadn't made that call to Grandpa, the Dwarf Society people wouldn't have taken action?
Why did he have to make this damn call!
Why didn't the elixirs and magical artifacts containing divine power work?
He also remembered the crow representing misfortune that he had drawn a few days ago, at that time he thought it was a human misfortune, who knew it was his own misfortune, it was the misfortune he brought to his grandparents.
Funny, how could an ordinary person predict such a big thing?
He was still complacent about finding a new other-dimensional door instead of protecting his family, he was just a big fool!
Grandpa, Grandma, why were your bodies so light when I hugged you just now, aren't you very powerful, can't even chickens and rabbits beat you? Why did you go looking for them?
Damn dwarves, I'll put down Grandpa and Grandma and come back to kill you!
Under Qi Jing's chaotic thoughts, he finally arrived at the academy's infirmary and rushed in:
"Help! Someone come and help!"
He knew that this was the base of all the healing espers in the C District, and even if it was a holiday, there would definitely be someone there.
"Coming!"
As soon as Qi Jing put the coffin containing his grandparents in the infirmary room, a familiar figure walked out of the inner room, Senior Sister Fa Xinyu.
She only glanced at Qi Jing before shifting her attention to the two lives in the coffin.
"Open it quickly and explain the situation."
Qi Jing quickly opened the coffin and said:
"They were turned into this by the dwarves of the Dwarf Society, I didn't find any wounds, the time was about five minutes ago."
Although he wasn't a doctor, his Observation Haki could sense every part of the body.
As long as there were any wounds, he could see them, but Grandpa and Grandma really seemed to be asleep, everything was normal except for not breathing.
Qi Jing added:
"My grandpa and grandma are both seventy-seven years old, and they didn't have any physical illnesses before."
He didn't know what information was needed to save people, but he tried his best to say everything he knew.
"Also, there are three dwarves in the Dwarf Society, one is a woman disguised as a little girl, one can change her face and height..."
"No need to say, they died of natural causes because they were too old."
Hearing Fa Xinyu's judgment, Qi Jing was stunned for a moment:
"How is that possible! The time they fell down didn't differ by more than three seconds, how could it be natural causes!"
"But their physical condition is indeed like this, of course, it can't be ruled out that a special ability caused this situation, but now any treatment methods are useless," Fa Xinyu said calmly.
Of course, she knew that natural death was impossible, but according to the current physical condition of these two old people, the probability of the cause of death being natural death was ninety-nine percent.
Looking at Qi Jing, whose eyes were full of disbelief, she explained:
"For example, the ability to draw away other people's lifespan has little effect on young people, but for elderly people, natural death is inevitable, like this, I'll help you call my master over, she is the strongest healing esper in our country."
She didn't continue, according to her judgment, even if the strongest healing esper came, she couldn't save someone whose lifespan had already ended.
"Teacher, it's in the infirmary, um."
As soon as Fa Xinyu made the call, a space gate with a swirling vortex appeared in the empty infirmary.
A woman in her thirties or forties and the fat old Principal Shui Bingbing walked out of the gate.
Seeing the principal he knew coming, Qi Jing felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Shui Bingbing was also very surprised, he had just finished the meeting and was walking with the vice-principal when he learned the news and immediately teleported over with the vice-principal.
He still remembered Qi Jing, the young man who was particularly concerned by his student Yu Ding.
"Student Qi Jing, this is Vice-Principal Pei, also the strongest healing esper in our country, she will definitely have a way."
