For him, treating such patients is a simple matter.

To increase efficiency, Chen Xuan had North Sky Hospital gather the patients in an indoor gymnasium. Then, standing behind a one-way glass mirror set up in the center of the venue, he used a loudspeaker to speak to all the patients, openly scanning them with a barcode scanner to collect the curses.

The judgment of North Sky Hospital was largely correct.

Over ninety percent of these patients were afflicted by the "Curse: Misfortune Enveloped," and these curses seemed to disappear one after another upon entering the storeroom. No matter how much misfortune was stored, only the first one remained inside.

As for "deficient blood and energy" and "respiratory weakness," these were different; even though they were all gray Level 1 abilities, they could persist in tens of them. The storeroom appeared limitless, no matter how many abilities he dragged in, its remaining space stayed the same.

In spite of this, Chen Xuan still tried to stack these acquired gray abilities towards the bottom to keep his mind at ease. Otherwise, every time he opened the storeroom, the sheer number of negative effects would make him feel like half a devotee of decay.

Thinking back, perhaps the Dimensional Limit Mechanism couldn’t handle these negative states using similar methods.

Because, in others’ eyes, these things wouldn’t even be considered as an ability.

"I...feel much better! Thank you, Dr. Zhou!"

"My body finally doesn’t hurt anymore; this magnetic therapy truly is effective!"

"You are my savior, Director Li!"

As each curse was removed, more people realized the treatment had seemingly completed unnoticed, and this long-lost sense of relief allowed them to finally breathe easily, as if a huge burden had been lifted off their shoulders. The doctors responsible for bringing the patients instructed them to rest at home and refrain from going out for some time.

Naturally, the patients were endlessly grateful and promised to follow the medical advice.

To prevent panic, all of this was conducted under strict confidentiality. The influence of North Sky Hospital outweighed Chen Xuan’s expectations—they didn’t involve themselves directly but connected with the disease control department and the major hospitals through their own networks. Patients only knew they were about to receive a new infrared magnetic therapy treatment, and due to the size of the equipment and the large number of people, a trip to Jiang City Gymnasium was necessary. This was not unusual; during the pandemic, this place had been converted to an isolation hospital.

"If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it... Is this the power of Spiritual Qi?" Yue Beifeng remarked from the second-floor spectator seats of the gymnasium.

Honestly, he admired this talent from the bottom of his heart.

With a wave of a hand, illness disappeared, his years of expertise in surgical techniques suddenly seemed meaningless.

"Hehe, you still haven’t figured out what’s going on here?" Sun Suigong, standing with hands behind his back at the railing, shook his head, "I too can absorb Spiritual Qi, and know some alchemical techniques and spells, you’ve witnessed it before. So why couldn’t I heal them? Are my decades of accumulated skills inferior to that young fellow?"

Yue Beifeng pondered for a moment, "Do you mean... he wasn’t actually treating them?"

"Does this seem like treatment to you? The patients, who were weak and bedridden moments ago, are now walking around. Time reversal can hardly be compared to this," Sun Suigong thought his disciple was good-hearted and righteous, but lacked a few connections in reasoning, "Little Friend Chen must possess some ability that specifically counters these negative states, and these states have nothing to do with illness, so North Sky Hospital is powerless as expected. You don’t need to belittle yourself."

"But didn’t he previously claim that he mastered Healing Spiritual Qi?"

"Did you believe what he said?" Dean Sun sighed, "That was obviously to fool you!"

"What?" Yue Beifeng was visibly displeased, "That brat! He said the same thing in your presence!"

"Then why didn’t I fall for it? So the matter rests on you," Sun Suigong spoke indifferently, "It’s normal for him not to reveal his hand upon first contact with North Sky Hospital. As long as it truly helps people recover, I don’t mind what means he used."

"So he is actually an Ability User..."

"The boundary between a healer and an Ability User might not be that clear. If I were to attend the Dimensional Limit Mechanism recruitment, I could probably pass their first test," he glanced at his disciple, "Now that Ability Users are emerging globally, North Sky Hospital should make active responses to avoid being left behind by the times. It seems the first step we took is quite successful, having found a capable person like Little Friend Chen."

"Understood," Yue Beifeng bowed and replied.

"But even if he can heal many people, it’s ineffective without identifying the source," Sun Suigong cast his gaze toward the central venue, "Let’s hope operations on Venus go smoothly."

...

At this moment, You Chi sat inside a modified long-distance bus, directing the actions of over a hundred Outer Sect disciples through a walkie-talkie and surveillance. These individuals nominally belonged to North Sky Hospital, generally descended from families with Inner Sect heritage. Despite not being responsible for medical treatment, they all possessed excellent medical knowledge and were strongly loyal to the Medicine Sect, making them the ideal choice for pinpointing the source.

Every thirty minutes, a batch of disciples entered the airport from multiple entrances, heading to departure halls, waiting rooms, arrival halls, and various lounges. They stayed only ten minutes before leaving the airport building and heading to the parking area.

Not only was the bus housing You Chi located within the airport parking area, but North Sky Hospital also stationed another five buses there, all painted differently. After the Outer Sect disciples returned, they’d enter their designated buses according to their sequence number, resting for two hours while focusing on their physical state. During this time, another group would take over their duties.

"Currently, how many people are feeling unwell or experiencing weakness of limbs?" You Chi asked his assistant, eyes fixed on the computer screen.

"Four people, they’ve been in the domestic arrivals and international departures areas."

Yesterday, only one individual felt unwell, responsible for the A1 building’s restaurant, resulting in a confirmed fever.

"Okay... let those four people stay on the bus, and conduct a control test with another group."

The method devised by North Sky Hospital for source tracing was straightforward: a genuine human search! Since many patients shared a common point of recently visiting the airport, then if this was an Ability crime, chances are high that the perpetrator resides within the airport building.

The Outer Sect disciples disguised as travelers, moving in and out of specific areas, undoubtedly faced higher incidences than average people.

If multiple groups fall ill in the same area, it’s highly suspicious that the perpetrator is in that zone.

Of course, the major premise of this search tactic is the illness could be effectively cured. Otherwise, more personnel from North Sky Hospital could be dragged into complications.

You Chi knew very well that human perception is fallible, the onset of the illness doesn’t come precisely on time, and the existence of the "Ability criminal" is even uncertain. This battle could last several days, even months, only with abundant data could he make a judgment.

However, he believed he would surely catch the perpetrator. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Because both his master and that mysterious man named Chen Xuan made the same judgment; someone was maliciously causing this!

By the third day, the situation suddenly changed.

Morning was calm and peaceful, while in the afternoon, fifteen "cases" suddenly erupted. And their paths over the three days showed many similarities, entering from the lower level entrance of A2 building into the domestic arrival hall, then splitting, with some going to the passenger reception area, while others to the taxi station.

The range of suspicion instantly narrowed down to one floor!
