I Am Not The God Of Drama Chapter 1618

Powerless to Save the Situation

Mr. Han’s answer did not surprise Chen Ling.

Since Mr. Han came to the Hidden Clouds Domain despite his ruined body, it was impossible for him to watch people die without saving them. It was just that under the current situation, how to safely and orderly provide medical treatment to the citizens was a difficult problem.

But this wasn’t a problem Chen Ling should worry about. Now that Mr. Han was blocked as soon as he entered the Hidden Clouds Domain, and even kidnapped and disappeared, Lord of Hidden Clouds’s side would definitely have to take action…

“Mr. Han, I’ll be straightforward.” Chen Ling paused for a moment. “There is a person here I would like to ask you to treat, Sir.”

Mr. Han froze, answering without hesitation:

“Since it is the Red King’s person, I naturally will not decline… I wonder, where is this person?”

Chen Ling stood up, motioning for Mr. Han to follow, while Queen of Diamonds, Red Heart J, and Magician Club J stood in place, waiting for orders.

Mr. Han followed Chen Ling, pushed open a narrow side door, and walked into a dim room. There, he saw a frail youth with bloodstained bandages wrapped around his eyes, sitting on the bed hugging his knees. Hearing someone open the door, he turned his head this way in confusion…

“Mister, this is…”

“This is the doctor I invited.” Chen Ling spoke gently. “He is the most capable doctor of this era. With him here, you will definitely be cured.”

Kong Baosheng couldn’t see Mr. Han’s position and could only weakly call out softly toward the empty air:

“…Thank you, Doctor.”

To be honest, Mr. Han had originally thought that the Red King using such a grand spectacle to invite him over should be to save some powerful subordinate, or a woman as beautiful as a celestial fairy… But he truly didn’t expect that the person Chen Ling wanted him to save was actually just an ordinary youth.

Mr. Han sat down by Kong Baosheng’s bed, holding Kong Baosheng’s hand, as if carefully sensing something.

A moment later, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Fortunately, Kong Baosheng’s eyes were bad and he couldn’t see Mr. Han’s changing expression, but after Chen Ling saw this scene, his heart instantly sank…

The few people in the room remained quiet like this for a long time, before Mr. Han slowly stood up.

“How is it?” Chen Ling immediately asked.

“…Let’s go outside and talk.”

Chen Ling nodded. After instructing Kong Baosheng to rest peacefully, he and Mr. Han went outside the room.

“This child’s condition is very bad.” Mr. Han deliberated for a long time before finally sighing. “There should already be four kinds of viruses in his body… Moreover, three of them have penetrated deep into his internal organs. These viruses are stacking upon each other, and coupled with dragging on for too long, it has already deteriorated to the extreme.”

“Even you can’t save him??” Chen Ling’s expression was incredibly ugly. “You are the Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician of this generation!”

Mr. Han opened his mouth…

“I am the Pathway Chief of the Path of the Physician, that’s true… But I am not an omnipotent Medical God.”

“Red King, you should know that the Divine Pathways are vast and the paths are different. My [Penetrating the Nether] can manage to turn the tide, lock fate, lock soul, lock life, and lock death… But neutralizing viruses is not my strong suit.”

“Although I also have the ability to treat illnesses, the situations I can handle are limited. If I had come half a month earlier, I might have been able to cure him before the viruses deteriorated, but now… he is already beyond cure.”

Chen Ling’s hands beneath his sleeves clenched tightly. The trace of hope that had finally risen in his heart with great difficulty was completely shattered at this moment.

“So… there’s no hope?” Chen Ling’s voice was incredibly low.

“I am incompetent, I cannot cure him.” Mr. Han paused for a moment. “But if the Red King needs it, when he is critically ill and on the verge of death, I can use [Kingdom of the Dying] to lock a sliver of life force for him…”

“How long can you lock it for?”

“If I only lock him alone… With my current condition, I should be able to hold on for one day at most.”

Chen Ling’s eyes slowly closed…

One day…

But it couldn’t cure the root cause. Even if he could lock his life force for one day, so what?

After an unknown period of silence, Chen Ling finally opened his eyes again, speaking hoarsely: “…I understand. Thank you, Mr. Han.”

Bursts of sound of piercing the air rang out from outside the Theater House, as if numerous figures were anxiously sweeping past the sky, seemingly searching crazily for something…

At the same time, Queen of Diamonds in the front hall cast a glance at the sky outside the door crack:

“It’s the Dragon-Strangling Warriors.”

“A carpet-style search, huh… They should be looking for Mr. Han.” Magician Club J spoke faintly. “Do you need me to hide the entire Theater House?”

“Hmph, there’s no need to hide our heads and show our tails.” The exotic youth Red Heart J licked his lips. “Just these trashes… Let me out, I’ll hack them all to pieces!”

“Oh really? Then can you out-hack Lord of Hidden Clouds?”

“…”

“It’s said that there are currently two Rank 8s holding the fort in the Hidden Clouds Domain. Can you out-hack the two of them?”

“…You’re picking a fight, right?” Red Heart J gripped his hilt, looking at Queen of Diamonds beside him somewhat irritably. “Do you believe I won’t hack you first?!”

With the Red King here, even if the three Dusk Society members quarreled, they only dared to quarrel softly. But Chen Ling had also already sensed the situation outside. Most likely, Lord of Hidden Clouds had already issued an order to search the whole city for Mr. Han… It should only be a matter of time before they found the Jinghong Theater.

If Chen Ling wanted to, he indeed had ways to make the Dragon-Strangling Warriors unable to find this place no matter what, but he had no need to do so…

Mr. Han wasn’t a real hostage, and they had no need to make things difficult for Lord of Hidden Clouds at this time.

“Brother Li… please escort Mr. Han away.”

Chen Ling was already disappointed. He sighed lightly and still spoke to Li Qingshan beside him.

Li Qingshan was currently working for Lord of Hidden Clouds, so having him bring Mr. Han back was the most appropriate… Moreover, in a certain sense, this also represented the Dusk Society’s attitude toward Lord of Hidden Clouds, the goodwill they were displaying.

Li Qingshan nodded slightly. He walked to the side door of the Theater House and made a gesture of invitation to Mr. Han:

“Please, Mr. Han.”

Mr. Han followed Li Qingshan for a few steps. After hesitating for a long time, he still stopped and turned back to look at Chen Ling.

“The clinic I’m staying at this time is not far from here. If you need anything, just send someone to find me immediately…” He paused for a moment and added, “That child’s time… might be running out.”

Chen Ling’s pupils shrank slightly.

As Li Qingshan took Mr. Han away from the Theater House, the front hall once again descended into silence.

Chen Ling looked at that tightly closed door to Kong Baosheng’s room, sighing helplessly in his heart. Now that even Mr. Han was powerless to save the situation, he was afraid they truly could only rely on Chu Muyun… But no one knew how long it would take for Chu Muyun to get the final ‘result’.

Chen Ling walked back to the table dejectedly, took a sip of the tea on the table, and then his gaze fell on those three Dusk Society members who were at daggers drawn with each other…

Seemingly sensing the Red King’s gaze, the bodies of the three stiffened slightly, and their auras immediately restrained themselves.
