Chapter 98 Observing the Crowd (Ch 98)

【It does not come from one person, but from the souls of “four” people. 】

The skull spoke softly:

[These four people are all powerful holders of divine cards in history. ]

[After their death, their souls were stored by the gods in this relic. ]

[These four sages are very powerful, and each of them has the power to help you prolong your life. ]

[And your next goal is to get the help of one of the sage souls within three days and let him help you prolong your life. ]

Four Sages…powerful holders of divine cards throughout history.

Hearing this, Zhou Ke suddenly thought of the [Siren] that Su Chenxi had mentioned before.

The siren, which originally existed only in folk myths, turned out to be the holder of the ancient divine card [J of Hearts].

These four are probably of the same kind as the Sirens.

Zhou Ke asked: “So, what exactly should I do?”

“How can I obtain the help of these souls to extend my life?”

The skull suddenly fell silent.

After a while, he said again:

[Do you still remember the prediction I made? ]

Zhou Ke answered very straightforwardly:

“Of course. You said that after I get the blood curse, I will have the chance to obtain the secret of the divine tablet’s ascension within a month.”

[Well, you will find out what the opportunity “within a month” is tomorrow.]

Zhou Ke’s expression changed: “You didn’t make another prediction, did you?”

As he spoke, Zhou Ke took out his cell phone and entered the prophecy into his memo.

The skull replied quickly:

[Of course, I will also tell you tomorrow morning how you can strive to get the help of the sages.]

[This process may be difficult and bumpy, so you must be mentally prepared. ]

【And now…】

【I suggest you take some sleep first. 】

【Take good care of yourself so that your condition won’t get worse. 】

Zhou Ke chuckled:

“You still like to keep people in suspense.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you!”

“I don’t stay up late!”

After finishing the conversation with the Skull of the Prophet, Zhou Ke carefully put away all the items including the four-sided stone, and then fell into a deep sleep.

……

“Brother Zhou Ke! You’re awake!”

Early the next morning, as soon as Zhou Ke opened his eyes, he was attracted by a clear and loud female voice.

Zhou Ke slowly propped himself up on the hospital bed.

“Tang Xin, why are you here?”

The silhouette of the short girl with ponytails swayed by the bed.

Tang Xin spoke quickly and loudly:

“It’s all over the campus internet that you fell ill and passed out during class yesterday!”

“So as soon as I heard the news, I rushed over to see you!”

“Brother Zhou Ke, take good care of yourself! Get well soon!”

Zhou Ke smiled slightly: “Yes, I will.”

He thought to himself that if Tang Xin knew what disease he had, he would probably not have this expression.

Tang Xin’s eyes rolled, and then she couldn’t help but laugh twice:

“Hey! Brother Zhou Ke, I just thought of something very interesting. Can you guess what it is?”

Zhou Ke said calmly:

“You thought about the time when you were sick and hospitalized and I treated you at your bedside.”

Tang Xin widened her eyes in surprise:

“How did you guess so accurately?”

“Hehe, what a coincidence! I was accidentally poisoned and hospitalized a few days ago, and you were by my side taking care of me.”

“And today, it’s your turn to enter the ward, Brother Zhou Ke!”

“Here, Brother Zhou Ke, flowers!”

Tang Xin handed over a large bouquet of flowers: “Get well soon!”

Zhou Ke looked at Tang Xin’s smiling face and felt mixed emotions.

He hesitated and did not take the flowers immediately.

【I know what you are thinking.】

In an instant, the voice of the Prophet’s Skull suddenly came in my mind.

Zhou Ke was stunned for just a moment, then reacted immediately.

This god can talk directly to his own brain without making any sound.

[You still suspect that Tang Xin is a member of the Skull and Bones Society and wants to continue to harm you.]

Zhou Ke asked the Prophet’s Head in his heart:

“Is she?”

[I’ve told you before, it’s no good for you to know in advance, please don’t ask again. ]

“Then let me ask it another way. Is there something wrong with this flower?”

【No.】

After hearing the Prophet’s Skull’s answer, Zhou Ke took the flowers without hesitation:

“Thank you, Tang Xin.”

Tang Xin seemed very happy: “You’re welcome!”

Zhou Ke was about to put the flowers on the bedside when he suddenly found that the bedside table was already filled with various things.

Flowers, fruits, gifts, greeting cards, all kinds of gifts.

“Hmm? Tang Xin, are these all given by you?”

Tang Xin went forward to check suspiciously: “No.”

She looked through the gift cards and frowned:

“Brother Zhou Ke, I didn’t expect you to have so many fans.”

Zhou Ke picked up the notes attached to the gifts and checked them one by one. The signatures on them were all names he didn’t recognize.

Most of them are girls, but there are boys as well.

Most of them contain blessings for a speedy recovery.

Tang Xin rubbed his cheek and said with relief:

“Forget it. After all, Brother Zhou Ke, you are a famous person in the school. Everyone has heard that you are sick in bed. It is normal to give you gifts.”

Zhou Ke didn’t care how many fans he had. He stared at Tang Xin intently:

“Tang Xin, I have a question for you.”

“Ah, Brother Zhou Ke, what’s the problem?”

Zhou Ke paused and asked seriously:

“Where did you… learn about the living dead?”

“Why, you know his weakness is fire?”

Zhou Ke had wanted to ask Tang Xin a question for a long time, but he had never found a good opportunity.

Now is the time to find out Tang Xin’s background.

Tang Xin’s expression froze, and she looked a little flustered:

“I saw it in a book!”

As she spoke, she raised her wrist exaggeratedly and looked at her watch:

“Ah, Brother Zhou Ke, I’m about to go to class. Goodbye, bye, I hope you get better soon!”

After she finished speaking these words in a rapid series, she disappeared in a flash.

Zhou Ke stared at Tang Xin’s departing back with a serious expression.

From this reaction, Tang Xin obviously didn’t want Zhou Ke to continue asking questions.

Tang Xin learned about the living dead, and the living dead were related to the Skull and Bones Society.

Even if Tang Xin herself is not a member of the Skull and Bones Society, she must have some indirect relationship with the Society.

Zhou Ke took a deep breath and lay back on the bed.

never mind.

Since the Skull of the Prophet said that he didn’t need to know who the Skull and Bones killer was at this stage, it would be better for him not to delve into it further.

The Skull of the Prophet said last night that early this morning, He would tell him how to use the four-sided stone to prolong his life.

At this moment, Zhou Ke took out the Prophet’s Skull again, ready to ask him.

But at this moment……

Outside the ward, the school doctor’s voice could be heard faintly:

“Only one person can enter at a time! Line up! Don’t rush! Next one!”

Zhou Ke moved quickly and stuffed the Prophet’s Skull back into his bag.

Following the creaking sound of the ward door opening——

A familiar figure walked into the ward with quick steps.
