"Brother Lin Fan, this is the courtesan, Han Xiang 'er, who is suffering from a strange disease."
After Ceng Li introduced her to Lin Fan, he said to the woman lying in bed, "Hey, Miss Xiang 'er, the doctor who came to treat you is here. Get out of bed and greet him."
Lin Fan couldn't help but have a strange look on his face when he heard this. He wasn't a doctor. He was here to investigate the demons and ghosts through Han Xiang 'er.
But Ceng Li must be afraid that Han Xiang 'er wouldn't cooperate, so he used this to deceive her.
Han Xiang 'er seemed to be asleep. When she heard this, her body trembled slightly, and then she said in a lazy and sad voice, "Big Brother Ceng, I'm afraid my body can't be cured."
The pleasure boat was the business of the Haitian Gang. The girls here were all tools used by the Haitian Gang to make money. If they fell ill, the Haitian Gang wouldn't sit idly by.
Han Xiang 'er had contracted a strange disease. Before this, they had invited many famous doctors, but when they came, they either boasted that they could cure her with three doses of medicine or shook their heads helplessly. Seeing that a hundred treatments were ineffective, Han Xiang' er gave up. She was disheartened and could only wait for her death.
"Miss Xiang 'er, the doctor came all the way here. Even if you don't get out of bed, you should turn around and let the doctor take a look," Ceng Li said.
Hearing this, Han Xiang 'er hesitated for a moment, but still turned around.
When she turned around, the masculine look in Ceng Li's eyes disappeared and was replaced by a look of disgust. They frowned and quickly looked away.
When Lin Fan saw Han Xiang 'er's face and neck, his eyes couldn't help but widen. He felt his scalp tingle and goosebumps fall to the ground.
Han Xiang 'er's dignified face was covered with purple scales. The scales had covered her entire face and were spreading outward with her face as the center. There were also purple scales on her neck and chest.
A courtesan who was sought after by tens of thousands of people was like a monster.
Ceng Li and Ceng Li didn't dare to look directly at her for fear of leaving a shadow in their hearts.
Although Lin Fan's eyes didn't move, he couldn't see the reason.
He also felt that this was not an illness, but a demon's doing.
But he wasn't sure.
The doctors that had been invited before were all in their fifties or sixties, and they all had medicine boxes with them. However, seeing that Lin Fan didn't bring a medicine box but a broadsword instead, Han Xiang-er knew that she had been deceived. Normally, she would be angry and throw a tantrum, but now that she had been reduced to such a state, it didn't matter.
She didn't say a word. Tears fell from the corners of her eyes. She bit her red lips and turned around.
Her delicate body trembled slightly as if she was sobbing.
Lin Fan cupped his fists at her and said, "Miss Xiang 'er, I apologize for offending you."
As he spoke, he walked towards her.
He didn't want to dawdle here, but if he wanted to make a quick judgment, he had to get close to Han Xiang 'er.
When he walked towards Han Xiang 'er, Ceng Li and the other disciple's eyes widened in shock.
With Han Xiang 'er's appearance, people would find it strange and ghosts would be afraid of her. Even they didn't dare to approach her. This Lin Fan was quite bold.
When Lin Fan walked to Han Xiang 'er's side, Han Xiang' er sensed it and her body trembled.
"Sorry for offending you." Lin Fan reached out and pressed Han Xiang 'er's back decisively.
Han Xiang 'er's body trembled, but she didn't resist.
Lin Fan pressed his hand. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he raised his hand and then decisively pressed it on Han Xiang 'er's face.
When he pressed it, goosebumps appeared on his heart.
He felt that the skin that was supposed to be smooth as jade turned out to be like snake scales.
But he didn't take his hand away, and Han Xiang 'er didn't resist.
She was a strong and smart girl. She could feel that Lin Fan was examining and treating her.
At this time, words flashed in front of Lin Fan's eyes. Demonic Aura + 1, Demonic Aura + 3, Demonic Aura + 6 …
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat. Yes, she was indeed a demon!
Moreover, looking at the scales, and considering the environment that Han Xiang 'er usually lived in, she was most likely a Snake Demon.
But he wasn't sure.
After extracting 10 points of Demonic Aura, there were no more Demonic Aura points in front of him.
Lin Fan raised his hand and pressed it on Han Xiang 'er's forehead. Seeing that there were no more Demonic Aura points, he raised his hand and pressed it on her neck, but there were still no more Demonic Aura points in front of him.
Moreover, after this extraction, the scales on Han Xiang 'er's head, face, neck, and chest did not disappear. There were no signs of them disappearing at all. He couldn't help but feel disappointed and bewildered.
He opened the interface and converted 1 point of the 10 Demonic Aura points he had just obtained into Vitality. As a result, he obtained 2 Vitality points.
Seeing this, his heart skipped a beat. Judging from the conversion rate of Demonic Aura points, this demon's cultivation was not low.
It was comparable to the strength of the bronze-armored corpse and the Five Organ Ghost!
After this trip, he could only prove that the scales on Han Xiang 'er's body were the work of a demon. It could only be said that he had completed a small step of the mission.
But the ultimate goal of his mission was not just this. His mission was to locate the demon that was causing trouble through Han Xiang 'er.
At this point, the mission was only half completed, and he could get a certain reward.
If he could kill the demon, the mission would be considered complete and he would receive all the rewards.
Lin Fan wanted to get some information from Han Xiang 'er, so he asked, "Miss Xiang' er, according to my observations, the scales on your face and neck aren't some weird disease. They're caused by a demon. If I can find the demon, I'll definitely be able to remove the scales for you. So, try to recall if you've encountered anything weird before you grew these scales …"
Han Xiang 'er stopped crying, but she did not answer.
Lin Fan said coldly, "No one can save you like this."
Han Xiang 'er opened her mouth and said, "There's nothing strange. It's just that one day, I had a strange dream. I dreamed that a big snake climbed onto the pleasure boat and entangled me. I couldn't get away.
In shock, I screamed three times before I woke up. When I woke up, I realized that it was a dream and there was no big snake beside me. "
Hearing this, Ceng Li and Han Xiang 'er both gasped. Ceng Li asked, "Miss Xiang' er, how big was the big snake?"
Ceng Li's curiosity was at work, so Han Xiang 'er ignored him.
Lin Fan nodded and asked again, "Besides this dream, did anything else strange happen?"
Han Xiang 'er shook her head.
"Well, you can rest," Lin Fan said, and then went out of the inner cabin.
Ceng Li and Han Xiang also walked out. Ceng Li asked in fear, "Brother Lin Fan, are you sure it's a Snake Demon?"
The other disciple also looked miserable.
They were stationed here day and night. If there was a Snake Demon, they would also be in danger.
Lin Fan said, "It's indeed a demon, but I'm not sure if it's a Snake Demon."
"Brother Lin Fan, hurry up and report it. Let the organization pay attention to it and send a large number of troops to investigate."
"Well, I'll report it," Lin Fan said perfunctorily.
He was not only thinking about the mission now, but also about the assassination.
He had never met Lu Li, and there was no enmity between them. Lu Li must have been instigated by someone to assassinate him. He wanted to find out who the mastermind was.
So he asked, "I'll ask you two, and you must answer honestly."
Both of them nodded repeatedly.
Their faces were solemn.
Lin Fan asked, "What was Lu Li's background when he was alive? What kind of people did he usually hang out with?"
