Huh! What do you mean by that? All right then. If you manage to cure his illness, then I will do whatever you command me to do!” walbridge.
From how relaxed he was at making that decision, it was evident that he thought that it was impossible for Gerald to save all the babies who were already dying.
Hearing that, Gerald simply nodded before going into the isolation room with Jace and the dean.
Only three people were allowed in this time, and Gerald changed clothes before setting foot into the isolation room with the duo from before.
By then, all the babies had stopped crying, and the room was silent. From a glance, Gerald could see that not only were their skin dark, but their bodies all looked swollen. Even the baby's lips look chapped.
Looking at those symptoms and how close the babies were to death, Gerald made sure that it was really the effect of the Soul Eating technique! From what he could have guessed from the damage done, the babies must have only experienced a third of the strength of the Soul Eating technique.
The reduction explains why their bodies all look so swollen. That was because all the water in their bodies was sucked out. With almost no way to cool their internal organs, a high fever is inevitable!
“...How cruel...!” Gerald growled softly.
If Gerald really wanted to cure them, he knew that acupuncture alone would not be enough. To ensure that there would be a smooth flow of oxyblood pellets within them in the future, Gerald had no choice but to use the Soul Eater technique to make up for their lost oxyblood.
However, he was also aware that once he did that, his identity would definitely be revealed since he had yet to find Zircobsite. Once that happened, Queena would definitely run to hunt him down. If he was caught, he knew he would not even be able to rival his strength.
Gritting his teeth, Gerald reminded himself that even if that was the case, it was still more important to save these lives. Since Gerald had drained the oxygenated blood of some adults before this, he knew that he might have enough blood to save them all. As for revealing its location to Queena ... He could still use the blood in the jade talisman to deal with it for at least another night.
Since Queena was in her most fragile state right now, she shouldn't be as scary as before! With that in mind, Gerald immediately began to take action.
Standing in front of the baby closest to her, Gerald took one silver needle and started quickly—yet lightly—poked a few spots on the baby's chest. The spots were not random at all, and the eighteen areas he pricked were part of the heavenly meridians, core meridians, and prime meridians.
There was almost no doubt between each prick, and Gerald's movements were so smooth that it was almost like he was doing some sort of magic show . Zane himself— who stood beside Gerald—mau did not want to feel a little stunned.
Turning to look at Jace, he was surprised at how fascinated the old doctor was towards Gerald's perfect needle technique.
Regardless, once Gerald was done, he quickly slipped his hand under the blanket and held onto the baby's wrist. With the Soul Eater technique, he then immediately began to organize and replenish the child's oxyblood.
“...OK, this one is safe now. Remember to cover the blanket properly over the baby! Now take the clothes off the baby in Bed 2 and bring him to me! Just soon! We don't have much time!” gerald's orders.
"…What? That all?” zane asked, his eyes widened.
“...B-right!” zane replied with a nod before running off to do as he was told.
“...It... What is it…! Divine Acupuncture Therapy ?! ” shouted an old doctor in surprise. He had been observing them earnestly through the glass windows of the isolation room for a while now, although Gerald's great skill clearly left him flabbergasted.
“Divine Acupuncture Therapy, Dr. Lisle?” ask another observer with a hint of dissatisfaction, though he should admit that the child is really good at acupuncture.
"Indeed! Divine Acupuncture Therapy is an acupuncture technique that is said to be lost through time! According to rumors, Sawyer Wytt is the only person who is proficient in handling up to three steps of this technique!” it was obviously the excited old doctor who had not noticed the facial expression of the vice dean.
“...Could he be Sawyer Wytt's student? No, that's not true! As you said, Sawyer is only proficient with three steps! But that kid over there is capable of using up to eighteen! How scary!” exclaimed another old doctor who was familiar with the technique.
When some other old doctor—who recognized the technique—began to applaud in awe while continuing to stare with wide eyes, it is proven there are still some people who still do not believe.
“He's still pretty young, isn't he? How could he know how to use such an advanced acupuncture technique?” ask one of the skeptics.
“I want you to know that there is no doubt about that! He actually used the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique! After all, I watched Mr. Sawyer Wytt use that technique when I attended a seminar a few months ago! From what I observed, the needle he used was exactly the same one Gerald was currently using! The needle itself was an inch long, and while performing a technique demonstration, he raised and released it three times before using the Phoenix Technique to release the needle. The action itself provides nutrients from the body, and also removes toxins and excess moisture from within. However, I heard that one needs inner strength to perform Divine Acupuncture Therapy techniques. Can Mr. Crawford really have it.?” obviously another doctor.
“Hah! You think someone like him could have inner strength? Trust me when I say he might just make a show. Whatever the case may be, his true abilities will be revealed through the results!” walbridge.
Being an envious person, Walbridge had already chanted in his mind, 'May the children not be healed by this clown!'
Gerald himself was not aware of any controversy among those outside the isolation room. After all, he was fully preoccupied with the Divine Acupuncture Therapy technique. With every needle that went in and out—the now pale-faced—Gerald slowly found himself getting tired, large droplets of sweat dripping from his chin. Of course it does not help that much energy is needed to replenish baby oxyblood.
Despite that, it maintained its incredible speed and accuracy. Therefore, it wasn't long before she was done with all the babies in the room!
Throughout his efforts, the babies that Gerald had previously healed showed signs of recovery. Their faces were no longer dark, and instead, their skin slowly turned brighter and brighter, clear signs that they were recovering.
Moreover, the swelling in their bodies had also subsided, and their skin seemed to return to normal. In fact, even their auras and vitality looked stronger than before!
“I-this..”.
After seeing all this, Zane was so relieved and excited that she immediately cried.
