Chapter 233: Mutual Trust

Translator: AlfredoPoutineSoup  Editor: DesTheSloth

The sudden news made the villagers fall into disorder.

No matter what they did and how villainous they were, their original intention was to protect themselves and their relatives from the curse.

But all the patients got infected with the disease?

“The sea lord is angry!!” A Bao screamed, “The sea lord is angry!!” You stopped us from worshiping the sea lord! It got angry! All the villagers will die! You made us die!”

Along with A Bao’s screech, those squatting the villagers’ looks changed.

Some brave ones even stood up slowly.

Officer Ma glared, yelling, “What are you doing? Squat down!”

“My wife and son got infected! But you ask me to squat… You killed my family! I’m gonna kill you, son of a b*tch!”

A villager rushed out.

Ma Houde took a gunshot at the road, which resounded around the mountain. That villager stopped suddenly, his face turned pale and his lips trembled.

Two policemen came to catch him at the same time.

Officer Ma said in a low voice, “I know you’re nervous and I understand you! But I won’t let you go back! None of you are allowed to leave this place! I don’t believe in curses! Since all of them got infected, then that disease is probably contagious! Anyone that has contact with them might be infected! Then no one can save your families!”

Those villagers’ agitation calmed down. Ma Houde then heaved a sigh of relief, his voice turned mild, “Trust me! We came here to solve problems rather than fight with you! But if you are still making trouble out of nothing, especially if someone instigates something on purpose, then we’ll regard them as assaulting the police!”

While talking, Ma Houde stared at A Bao. The most respectful senior quivered, lowering his head.

“A little bit later, you guys go to the seaside where my helicopter is landed. Then someone will take you away.”

After calming down the villagers’ emotion, Ma Houde pulled Ren Ziling and Luo Qiu to one side, telling them, “Then someone will send you to the hospital for a checkup.”

“You want me to leave?” Ren Ziling asked with discontent.

Ma Houde urged, “I’m afraid you’ll get infected. It’s a pretty weird disease! Don’t be willful, sister!”

Luo Qiu asked suddenly, “Officer Ma, how about you?”

Ma Houde looked at Luo Qiu with pleasure, feeling his concern for himself, not like some sister… He smiled, “I’m OK. I talked to Secretary Wu. He ordered a boat from the county. Besides that, I’m a public servant. So I can’t leave the public alone in danger. But you’re different, you should leave for your safety. If not, you’ll distract me.”

While Luo Qiu shook his head, “Uncle Ma, maybe we cannot leave right now.”

Ma Houde gaped, asking, “Brat, when did you become so unreasonable like your mother?”

“Ma Houde! What did you say? Are you courting death?”

Luo Qiu glanced at Ren Ziling with the gaze that Ren Ziling was most afraid of, so she quieted down quickly.

Luo Qiu heaved a sigh, “Uncle Ma, if we got infected, we should not leave. Think about it. We don’t know the nosogenesis or if it is an infectious disease. If we leave at will, we might bring this virus out, right? If it is spread within the city, you can imagine the repercussion.”

Ma Houde was stunned, patting his forehead, “That’s right! Alas, I made a mistake in this…”

Ma Houde understood the serious repercussion, which made him break out in a sweat, “Thank you for reminding me or I’ll be a sinner committing a big mistake!”

“Ma Houde! I said I can’t leave, you understand what I mean?” Ren Ziling snorted.

‘This woman would definitely not thinking about that, at most, she was just unwilling to leave the crime scene.’

“…Well, get back into the house. Find and take something like alcohol and Radix Isatidis to clean and protect your health. Drink mineral water instead of tap water!” Ma Houde urged, “I’ll go ask Wu Qiushui and see when the boat will come… This might be the cause of the outbreak of a virus. I have to call back to make a report.”

“Do your job.” Luo Qiu nodded.

Ma Houde patted Luo Qiu’s shoulder and didn’t say anything… He was happy that Luo Qiu became independent.

At last, Ma Houde glimpsed at Ren Ziling, “Are you happy? You caught big news this time!”

Subeditor Ren replied with dignity, “Thank you.”

Ma Houde shook his head, leaving with anxiety.

A group of villagers were controlled in the resort. Several policemen with guns guarded several of its entrances.

Time passed slowly.

Some villagers contacted with their families by phone, squatting and sobbing in the corner.

Luo Qiu looked at the blue-star flower and the girl in the yard.

Lui Yiyun noticed Luo Qiu getting close to her; but she didn’t stand up or turnabout, just gazing at this blue-star flower blankly.

The girl suddenly asked, “Do you know this flower, in the language of flowers, means ‘Mutual Trust’. It won’t cover up other flowers or be ignored by them.”

She stood up, picking up one in her hand.

The blue one stayed in her soft hand, Lui Yiyun said softly, “It’s like the relationship among people. Everyone is unique. So it’ll ignite different sparks when people meet and bring different stories.”

The girl showed a pathetic smile on her face, “However, if they want to get along and ignite the sparks, mutual trust is a must. If they can’t… they won’t trust each other and will be envious and jealous, even… just for themselves.”

“Is this what you planted?” Luo Qiu asked.

The girl said coolly, “It’s from my grandpa. He said that this is what my granny loved best. So he planted it all over the yard.”

Luo Qiu nodded. He squatted down, picking one and putting it in his hand, then stretching out to the girl.

But the girl shook her head, taking one step back.

A distrusting step.

Lui Chaosheng’s look contained extreme panic.

From the relatives of those patients to the keepers outside the clinic, all of them collapsed one after another. That horrific disease attacked at a fast pace.

It spread quickly from street to street.

He didn’t know how many people had been infected and panicked–Even he himself showed the symptoms of this disease.

Lui Chaosheng felt that he became gradually in a confused state of mind. He breathed with difficulty, following a strong sense of nausea. His face turned pale, sometimes feeling cold and sometimes feeling hot.

He gritted his teeth, watching his stiff fingers. He walked to his office with difficulty, then locked the door.

“Doctor, save me, please… save me…”

Lui Chaosheng could hear the cry for help but he had no time to look after them— he ransacked boxes and chests in the office, overturning a cabinet with different files and getting an iron box from it.

His arms and legs became extraordinarily stiff. Luo Chaosheng opened the box that contained a syringe and some small bottles with difficulty.

Both of Lui Chaosheng’s hands quivered, extracting the liquid from the small bottle by using the syringe. His mouth bit the yellow rubber band, ignoring whether the blood vessel could be seen clearly and sterilized with iodine. Then, he inserted the needle into his arm directly.

He panted for breath but looked much better. The protrusions grew much slower from his fingers.

But panic didn’t disappear from his eyes because he knew that the medicine he injected for himself was short-lived.

Lui Chaosheng fished out a cell phone from his doctor’s coat. Soon, he queried with rage, “You said only kill Luo Aiyu and those participants of that incident, why has it spreads to the whole village?!”

Several seconds later, Lui Chaosheng did not seem to get a satisfying answer, so he turned even more angry, “Give me the antidote!! Or let’s perish together!! Don’t forget, your father is hiding here… Haha, I dare not? I’ve already gotten infected, there’s nothing I dare not do…Anyway, if you don’t come, then let me go find you!!”

Lui Chaosheng yelled to the cellphone; but just then, he heard some sound—coming from a steel cabinet in the office.

It shook with a smashing sound from inside. The very next second, the door was forced open!

And the person from inside rolled out.

“You…Why did you wake up quickly? I gave you a lot of tranquilizers…”

Watching Lui Hai who stood up from the ground, Lui Chaosheng’s face turned more scared.

Lui Hai patted his head, it seemed like he was still dizzy. But he sized up Lui Chaosheng… Watching his appearance changed because of the disease, he frowned.

“Who did you talk to?” Lui Hai walked to Lui Chaosheng, saying coldly.

Lui Chaosheng moved his lips, sensing the current Lui Hai turning extraordinarily ferocious, an extreme horror was imposed on him.

Unexpectedly, Lui Hai let out a deep sigh, saying, “This is retribution!”
