A Shaman Doctor’s Live Diagnosis Stream! 78p2

Chapter 78 Part 2

Father Xie cursed, “Lai Jun, you short-lived bastard! Your grandfather made you Wu Heng’s guide, and now you’re both dead. Serves your family right!”

Lai Jun’s face darkened. His father died early, he was a posthumous child, and his grandfather, Pockmarked Lai, had died bringing Wu Heng back to the village, leaving him, the only child, to care for his grandmother, until his own death.

Although true, he wouldn’t back down, sneering, ‘I’m a rising star in the underworld civil service, plenty of opportunities to marry and have ghost babies. You better prepare the money and keep your son as a vegetable. He won’t have a ghost wife otherwise!’

‘I heard they have a Special Events Management Bureau in the human world, just wait to be investigated.’

Lai Jun looked at Wu Heng, waiting for his call to inform the village chief, they could go to the temple together.

Wu Heng said, using the language of the underworld, ‘…I’m about to launch a new line of masks, mostly using Grandma Lai’s homespun cloth, they’ll be selling well, she’ll have a comfortable life.’

Lai Jun, his expression softening, looked away.

The village chief of Wu Wa, along with Zhou Dagui, arrived, he had experience with this sort of thing after Yang Xing’s incident and, his face grim, followed the invisible Lai Jun towards the temple, intending to deal with the Xie family later.

Father Xie, having hung up angrily, looked at his unconscious son, furious, but he couldn’t blame Wu Heng, this wasn’t caused by his medicine.

“Damn the government and their stupid vaccine!” he cursed.

They were afraid of their lineage ending and prepared to take their son to the hospital.

Then a knock on the door, they opened it, and a man showing his ID said, “Special Events Management Bureau of Hezipo Town, please come with us.”

It was Wang Jun, now transferred to the new department.

He looked at them coldly, how could a four-year-old even know about soul swapping? This couple must have orchestrated it.

[I need to learn how to be a spirit medium! I want to know what they’re saying.]
[Have you heard of the “five hindrances and three calamities” (a concept in Taoism and Chinese folk religion about the negative consequences of practicing magic)? You wouldn’t want to learn this.]
[Remote and impoverished places breed strange people… not referring to Doctor Wu and those youngsters, just some people.]

Wu Heng picked up the soul-swapping bell from the floor, it turned into a paper effigy in his hand, the netizens finally seeing it clearly.

A paper bell, painted a blood red, eerie.

Some felt it looked familiar, a netizen watching during his work break suddenly exclaimed, “I found something similar in my son’s room the other day, he said he made it during art class…”

Then, remembering her son’s sudden high fever a while ago, almost scaring them to death, a month-long ordeal until he fully recovered…

After he was discharged, they all praised him for being so much more obedient and well-behaved now, such a big boy…

She immediately messaged his teacher, asking about their art class project. The teacher replied quickly.

No bell-making, they learned painting that day.

A chill ran down her spine, a bad premonition.

Other netizens shared her fear.

Wu Heng, examining the object, said, “This is a soul-swapping bell, mass-produced, looks like Xie Zhi used it frequently.”

His words sent chills down everyone’s spines.

Like they said, if you see one cockroach, there’s an infestation!

Xie Zhi suddenly realized, no wonder she used to dream of living in a big villa, was that her soul returning? But she thought it was just a dream.

Xie Zhi probably hadn’t understood when he was little, only later, after his “parents'” explanation, but unwilling to give up his comfortable life, he stayed.

[Doctor Wu, don’t scare me! My younger sister is like that too!]

[So… Xie Zhi isn’t a unique case?]

[This is like human trafficking! Mentally scarring for those children.]

[… This sounds like an organized operation. Terrifying.]

[Remember the Dream Cruise incident? Someone wanted pretty girls for their… business…]

Wu Heng looked at the camera, as if warning those watching, “Don’t think that buying these things and stealing others’ lives makes you a hunter, you might just be someone else’s prey.”

People sought better lives, healthier bodies, especially wealthy families like the Xies.

Those with power and influence were easier to control, following instructions, playing their assigned roles.

This was just an appetizer.

Wu Heng’s face darkened as he conjured a blue flame, destroying the bell.

The terrified netizens, not daring to overthink it, flooded the chat, asking for help.

Wu Heng thought for a moment, “Get vaccinated if you can, or consult with my disciple.”

Chen Zhao entered, carrying two bags, paused, then pointed at himself, “Huh? Me?”

He… he could do online consultations too? Aaaaa!

Choosing the right path truly was important.

He would show Doctor Wu how to properly solicit gifts online.

He was no longer poor Chen Zhao.

The Xuanmen officials were also shocked. They were concerned about promoting the vaccine, people nowadays didn’t believe in this metaphysics stuff, revealing its true purpose, protection against evil, might cause backlash, they were expecting resistance.

And now, they didn’t even need to promote it, trending topics on Weibo, netizens demanding the vaccine.

Wu Heng was practically their spokesperson!

Wu Heng looked at the camera, Xie Zhi’s soul was back in its original body, still adjusting.

Knowing what the Xie parents wanted to ask, he said, “I’ll prepare a soul-stabilizing prescription.”

The Xie couple thanked him profusely.

Father Xie immediately sent a barrage of gifts, instantly becoming Wu Heng’s top supporter.

“Doctor Wu, we’d like to treat you to a meal when you have time,” Father Xie said.

Although Xie Zhi hated school, through the parent group chat, they had heard about Wu Heng auditing classes at Jiaming High School, he occasionally came to Beijing, so there would be opportunities.

Wu Heng smiled. “Sounds good. I’ll wait for your invitation, Mr. and Mrs. Xie. I have to disconnect now.”

Wu Heng ended the call.

Netizens commented, so Xie Zhi was truly the first “patient” without an actual illness.

After ending the call, the Xie family hugged their daughter and cried.

“We’re… redecorating. This bedroom will be a storage room, all his belongings gone!” Father Xie said, wiping their tears, glaring at the room filled with Xie Zhi’s things, his face filled with disgust.

Xie Zhi, looking at the luxury items, said hesitantly, “It’s a waste to throw them away…”

A fresh wave of sadness washed over them, Xie Zhi would never say that. They didn’t want these things anymore. They could give them away.

“Zhizhi, if you want anything, just ask us,” Mother Xie said, holding her daughter’s hand tightly, her eyes filled with a love for a soul returned.

Xie Zhi, for now, couldn’t think of anything. “I don’t want to be a celebrity anymore, I want to go to school, I want to learn how to dance.”

Xie Zhi’s foray into the entertainment industry, his close relationships with other actresses, the lesbian rumors, that was probably just him preying on women.

Father Xie, his eyes filled with tears, “Okay, if you want to go to school, then go, even if you have to repeat a year or two; if you want to learn dancing, Mom will find the best teacher for you tomorrow.”

“Thank you… Mom, Dad.” Their daughter’s smile, that familiar face, only intensified their sadness, this was something she should have always had, and now it felt like a gift.

‘What’s that smell? It’s worse than body odor,’ Su Da Yi said, opening its eyes, staring at the two bags Chen Zhao was carrying.

‘Now! Attack!’

The two snakes lunged at the fox nestled in its dog bed.

Xi Xi bit its fur, her sharp fangs sinking in… or rather, not sinking in, only catching the fur, not reaching the flesh, she had underestimated its thick layer of fat.

‘You dare bite me?!’ Su Da Yi shrieked, throwing the little gray snake aside.

‘Xi Xi!’ Da Bai, seeing this, cried out in alarm and rushed over to catch her.

Wu Heng simply watched, not intervening.

As Xi Xi’s power grew, so did her territorial instincts. Su Da Yi was invading their space, they had the right to attack.

Especially since those were their beds.

Foxes and snakes were natural enemies. Pythons could swallow foxes, and foxes could eat small snakes.

A fight ensued.

Two slender snakes and a chubby fox, a flurry of white fur filling the clinic.

Wu Heng, seeing the fur fly, turned and saw Chen Zhao, having placed the bags down, grabbing some wrapping paper from You Jin in the pharmacy and diligently collecting the fox fur.

“Keep shedding! The more, the better! This is worth a fortune!”

He had seen Wu Heng and Zhang Da Yong’s live stream, a single fox hair that powerful? Imagine the price!

He couldn’t sell it to ordinary people, that would be irresponsible. But the Xuanmen?

Wu Heng, watching, ordered a dog brush online.

They couldn’t win. A single roll on the floor from Su Da Yi could crush them.

Da Bai, seeing its gaping maw, was almost scared to death. It closed its eyes and lunged. ‘Don’t eat Xi Xi, eat me!’

Xi Xi, shielded by Da Bai, gently stroked its trembling scales with her tail and comforted, ‘Don’t worry, Big Brother Da Bai, she won’t eat us, she’ll get fat.’

Xi Xi had watched the live stream, the fox spirit was afraid of gaining weight.

Su Da Yi hesitated, Xi Xi did have a point, then, still annoyed, it had an idea.

‘I’ll teach you a lesson!’

It extended its tongue and started licking them furiously, a saliva bath.

Heh, couldn’t eat them, but could lick them!
