Chapter 2512: Invisible Battle
While Father Hu hurriedly called for an ambulance, Ning Shu stared at the invisible battle that was happening in the void.
Luo Jiang’s parents collapsed, but they looked like they were simply asleep. They were also still breathing, albeit weakly.
“What’s going on?” Mother Hu looked puzzled and a little terrified. “Why did they suddenly pass out?”
“They’ll be fine,” Ning Shu said.
The ambulance quickly came. Some paramedics came upstairs carrying a couple of stretchers. They put Luo Jiang’s parents on the stretchers and carried them into the ambulance.
Luo Jiang seemed to be completely stupefied. Father Hu was the only one running around getting things done.
Luo Jiang and Father Hu got into the ambulance. Meanwhile, Mother Hu and Ning Shu stayed and cleaned up the place.
“We just came over for a meal, how did this end up happening?” Mother Hu complained to Ning Shu. “One moment they were fine, and then they suddenly collapsed.”
“I don’t know what happened, either.”
Ning Shu shook her head, expressing that she didn’t know what was going on.
Inwardly, she asked 2333, “Did you get their souls?”
2333 sounded like it was on its deathbed. “I got them. When the system wasn’t paying attention, I took my chance and snatched their souls. I’m tapped out on energy now.
“I don’t know why, but I feel like things are seriously way too frickin’ hard whenever we try to get energy. I can barely even make ends meet.” 2333 nearly didn’t even want to talk.
He felt like Ning Shu’s bad luck must’ve rubbed off on him. Every time, he had to work so hard only to get crumbs. Sometimes he didn’t even end up getting anything!
“Only by suffering first can you become great,” Ning Shu consoled 2333.
“I’m just a system. Why should I suffer?”
Ning Shu switched the topic. “Do you have to wait until the beauty take down system leaves Luo Jiang and you devour it before you return their souls?
The system made a sound of affirmation and didn’t respond anymore.
Ning Shu could finally feel relieved. Luo Jiang’s parents’ souls were now saved. She now just needed to wait for the beauty take down system to detach from Luo Jiang.
Father Hu came back from the hospital in the early hours of the morning. Mother Hu hurriedly asked him, “What happened with Old Luo and his wife?”
“They’re in a coma. They are still alive, but they’re no longer conscious.” Father Hu was very confused.
It was so strange. They had just been drinking together a moment ago, how did they end up suddenly falling into a coma?
“Did I… give Old Luo too much wine?” Father Hu guessed.
Mother Hu immediately rolled her eyes at him. “Nonsense. What about his wife? She hadn’t drunk any wine yet.”
“It is quite strange.” Father Hu sighed. The Luo family’s fortune this year was absolute dog shit.
Old Luo had really suffered through a lot recently. First Luo Jiang had gotten bitten by a dog and now his wife and he were hospitalized together. No one knew whether they would even wake up.
The family of three all got hospitalized within such a short time.
“Dad, if someone goes into a coma like Uncle Luo, how long can they survive?”
“I don’t know. It’s hard to say when it comes to a coma.”
Ning Shu hoped that the beauty take down system would abandon Luo Jiang soon.
A body would become damaged when it was without a soul for too long.
Luo Jiang stood at the door of the intensive care unit. He wept as he stared at his parents, but he was also too ashamed to go see them.
Luo Jiang closed the door and sat on a chair in the aisle.
A nurse came to ask Luo Jiang to pay the medical bills.
Luo Jiang had no money on him, so he could only drag his body home to get the money.
Luo Jiang returned home, looked at the empty room, and couldn’t help but start bawling.
He didn’t have his parents anymore. He was now completely alone.
Luo Jiang regretted it a little, but it had already happened.
Only by working hard and achieving great things could Luo Jiang not let down his parents and the sacrifices they made for him.
