While on the phone, Ning Fengzhi was already leaning down to examine the man's face.
This burn shouldn't have been caused by mere flames; it looked more like half his face had been splashed with something like sulfuric acid.
Who had thrown sulfuric acid in his face? So he came out to seek revenge on society?
Ning Fengzhi continued to observe, his attention drawn to the hollow eye sockets. Within them, there were no eyeballs.
Suddenly, as he examined the man's head, he discovered something.
On the back of the man's head, directly behind the eye sockets, there was a hole.
This hole connected directly to the eye sockets.
"This..."
This was the first time he had witnessed such a situation, and what he found hard to believe was, could anyone truly survive in such a state?!
How was it possible for such a through-and-through hole, from front to back, to not be fatal?
Surviving under these circumstances represented extraordinary luck.
Perhaps a one in a million chance.
Meanwhile, the Nether Doctor on the other side had also finished his call and leaned in. "This person," he said, "is indeed a Heavenly Physician, a former Heavenly Physician."
"Former?"
"He was injured while saving someone half a year ago. He recuperated for nearly half a year and only recovered a month ago," the Nether Doctor explained. "He disappeared from their place a few days ago."
"Come and see, he has a hole here. Is this a gunshot wound or something else?" Ning Fengzhi wasn't sure, as he rarely encountered gunshot wounds, but the Nether Doctor should have seen quite a few over the years.
The Nether Doctor bent down, and when he saw the hole, he too was taken aback. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of luck does this person have to still be alive in this state?"
"Right... I told you, in a way, this guy is a chosen one. His 'everyone else is drunk, I'm sober' state might actually be true," Ning Fengzhi quipped. He then lifted the man, deciding to take him back for thorough research and questioning, regardless.
At this moment, Lin Xiao also arrived.
As soon as he arrived, he saw the man dressed as a Heavenly Physician being slung over Ning Fengzhi's shoulder.
"Solved it?" Lin Xiao seemed to have teleported to Ning Fengzhi's side. He looked at the man being carried and then around the area. "He's alone?"
"Yes, I just inquired with the Heavenly Physician's people. This man escaped from them a few days ago, and they are also looking for him," the Nether Doctor said, pointing to the man's head. "Brother Xiao, look here."
"This is..."
Lin Xiao leaned closer and, upon seeing it, couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face. "The angle of this bullet is truly... devious. It not only pierced his head and damaged his skull but also did not affect vital nerves or cause cerebral congestion... With this kind of luck, I wouldn't even be surprised if he won the lottery three times in a row."
He then immediately used his vital energy to examine the man's head.
"His brain should have sustained some damage. And he was still saved by the Heavenly Physicians. Honestly, their skills are quite impressive," Lin Xiao praised the Heavenly Physicians' skills without reservation. "They must have integrated some modern medicine and utilized a fair amount of modern equipment. Otherwise, relying solely on traditional medical techniques would likely not achieve such precision."
"Indeed, they have always kept pace with the times," the Nether Doctor agreed wholeheartedly.
