Chapter 109: Importance of Communication

I sit there in a stupor, wondering about the hint I have found. Based on the way my mind interprets data from the scan, I normally can only catch pieces of information when I get the first hit of the data.

This time is no different, in that sense.

What was different is that the information that was there spanned from one central action, making it easy to determine what needed to be done.

All the situations I could sense, from the very vague notions I had gotten, involved healing random people.

Its weird, but the overall feeling that I got from it, was as if there some sort of gacha or random chance to getting this.

As if there was a reason that I couldnt know everything about this. The reason that my scan had taken it in a different way than I had prepared for.

That doesnt change the situation Im in, though. I obviously just went through a very serious knockout. One which really concerned my group.

The tough part about this is that Im pretty sure theres going to be an insanely enormous amount of danger attached to healing people magically in a city full of cultivators. But also, there is a possibility that the only reason Im able to get this cultivation method is because Im doing such a thing.

Nonetheless, I picked myself up begin heading over to Gong, Ai, and Lins location. They have seemed to have been meeting up and discussing something after leaving to go to their own areas.

They seem to be discussing what to do about the pickup that will happen in the next few days. The one that the sect will do to begin testing.

That almost stops me in my tracks, bringing to the forefront of my mind how close we actually are to this happening.

If we are this close, then it is even more important that I discuss this with them.

With little ado, I head over and apologize again for earlier. Then go into what I had found.

The three of them listen quietly, not saying anything before I finish telling them what I figured out.

When they do respond, it is actually Lin that speaks up.

Well, James. From what weve been able to tell, your knowing ability is usually right.

Ai seems to shift uncomfortably at that, like there is something they had talked about earlier that she wants to say. Something she disagrees with.

I can feel my eyes squint at that, but before I can even think of addressing it, Lin continues.

My take on it, is that the best thing we can do is to try to mitigate for it.

The iridescent worms.

I could probably find them. Throwing out a wide scan over this area. Maybe not all of it, but definitely the clusters that Gong would eventually reach.

That she might reach.

Fuck.

How the heck are we to do this? I know Gong has been preparing in the background, but Im honestly scared to deal with this myself.

Sigh.

Im about to leave to go to the sect. Its possible that I could be there for a month or longer.

How long do those people have to suffer? How much further will the numbers of those things grow?

I know what I have to do.

Dang it. Time to take care of business.

With my heart readied, I extend a pulse outward to get the general direction of the local iridescent worm clusters.

What the fuck?

I find something that shocks me deeply.
