Being a villain in apocalyptic writing

Luan Ning was silent for two seconds before saying, "The commander-in-chief should have eaten very little recently, almost nothing ()"

Ai Jiuwei's expression paused, surprise flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Luan Ning straight in the eye for the first time: "Yes."

"Lack of sleep, palpitations, restlessness, frequent dreams..." Luan Ning whispered a few more symptoms and then stopped.

Ai Jiuwei was slightly startled and a little unhappy: "Why don't you continue?"

Luan Ning obviously hadn't finished what she was saying, but what she had already said were her simplest symptoms.

This made Ai Jiuwei very dissatisfied.

Jiang Ye smiled and continued, "Commander Ai, your condition is a very private matter. Doctor Luan is doing this for your own good."

Ai Jiuwei frowned and was about to speak, but Jiang Ye had already predicted her reaction: "Of course! I know that with your broad mind, you will definitely not care about this.

"But the world is in chaos, so it's always a good idea to be more careful. Doctor Luan is also worried that your condition might be heard by someone with ulterior motives, which could be harmful to you."

"Heh." Ai Jiuwei sneered, "To harm me? You have to be lucky to do that!"

"You're right." Jiang Ye readily agreed. "But all of them who practice medicine have this habit, so it won't do you any harm. If you think what he said is right, why don't you come to the clinic more often?"

Hu Jing narrowed his eyes and suddenly understood Jiang Ye's intention.

Ai Jiuwei was not a fool either, so she naturally saw through Jiang Ye's obvious attempt to win her over.

But just as Jiang Ye said, there was no harm in it for her.

She didn't object to it.

but--

"You know, if you let me waste my time doing useless work, the consequences will not be good." She spoke slowly, but coupled with her suddenly cold voice, it inexplicably had a deterrent effect.

Jiang Ye was not afraid. Instead, he smiled faintly at her, then turned to look at Luan Ning who was not far away in front of him: "Doctor Luan, I am just a layman. Commander Ai, are you sure about this situation?"

Luan Ning glanced at her sideways, with a hint of doubt in his calm eyes.

He didn't quite understand why Jiang Ye would spend time trying to win over Ai Jiuwei's favor for him at this critical juncture.

Jiang Ye did not dodge or evade, but quietly met his gaze with a gentle and calm expression.

It was like encouragement and comfort: "Doctor Luan, don't worry. Commander Ai is not an unsympathetic person. If you have any difficulties, just tell me in advance."

After a few seconds, Luan Ning slowly shook his head and turned to look at Ai Jiuwei: "If the commander-in-chief believes in me, I can give it a try."

"Oh? How sure are you?" Ai Jiuwei raised her eyebrows and looked at him scrutinizingly.

Luan Ning was not afraid, and said calmly: "Within half a month, I have an 80% chance of letting you sleep peacefully."

Ai Jiuwei's intention was visibly moved, but after a slight pause, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Half a month? Is that all you can do?"

Her eyes were cold, as if she wanted to see through Luan Ning's cards.

But Luan Ning remained calm in the face of her deliberate provocation: "I have many ways to help you fall asleep for a night or two. I think you have tried a lot of them recently."

Ai Jiuwei was stunned, and a look of displeasure flashed across her face.

Recently, the researcher in the laboratory who was in charge of her body did give her several injections of sleep-aiding solution.

It’s just that effect…

Before she could finish her thoughts, Luan Ning's clear voice continued, "Lack of sleep is only a symptom. Treating it only temporarily and not at the root will only make your condition worse."

"Do you have a cure?" Ai Jiuwei narrowed her eyes.

Luan Ning suddenly smiled: "I can't give you an answer for now."

"why?"

"First of all, your fundamental problem is the emptiness of your internal organs. This requires a long time of conditioning and cannot be simply summarized as 'whether it can be cured or not'."

Ai Jiuwei looked at him calmly: "What else?"

"Also, if this is a side effect of your mutation, then I can probably only alleviate the symptoms. After all, the diseases caused by mutations are still difficult for medicine to overcome, and you know that."

His words brought back bad memories for many mutants present.

Their faces all looked somewhat ugly.

But Luan Ning seemed unaware and continued, "Emotions are related to the five internal organs. Only when the internal organs are clean can the qi and blood be generated. If you don't treat your current condition in time, the disease will come like a mountain. It's no joke."

Ai Jiuwei and Hu Jing's faces changed.

Ai Jiuwei frowned immediately: "Are you threatening me?"

"This is true." Luan Ning raised his head and looked at her quietly, "I think you can feel it yourself."

If the string wasn't about to break, Ai Jiuwei wouldn't have spent so much time here with them today.

Ai Jiuwei secretly gritted her teeth, her expression unfathomable for a moment.

Even Hu Jing felt a little unnaturally nervous, fearing that the woman would suddenly get angry.

At this moment, Jiang Ye suddenly smiled and said, "Commander Ai, Doctor Luan is a bit blunt, but his medical skills are really good. If you are really worried, why not let him try now?"

Everyone was stunned and looked at her.

Jiang Ye said sincerely, "Doctor Luan's acupuncture skills are superb. I think it will take some time for your subordinate to invite someone to come. Instead of hesitating and trying to make a decision, why not just experience it here for yourself?"

Ai Jiuwei looked doubtful: "Can it be effective in just one time?"

"I guarantee it with my life." Jiang Ye smiled, looking confident. People who didn't know her would think she was the one with superb medical skills.

Her words were so absolute that many people looked at her.

Doubt, disdain, astonishment, surprise, admiration...

Among the parties involved, Ai Jiuwei was just a little surprised, and obviously had already believed most of it, while Hu Jing looked at Jiang Ye suspiciously, wondering where she got the courage to make such a boast.

The most complicated one among them is Luan Ning himself.

At this moment, the look he gave Jiang Ye was full of helplessness and astonishment.

He was an acupuncturist, so he naturally knew how ridiculous Jiang Ye's words were!

If it was an emergency, a few injections might be effective, but Ai Jiuwei's condition was a disease that had accumulated over several years, and acupuncture could not produce an immediate effect.

However, he had already boarded this pirate ship, and could only accept the title reluctantly based on Jiang Ye's bragging. He stood there, numbly listening to Jiang Ye flatter Ai Jiuwei a few more times.

Jiang Ye persuaded Ai Jiuwei, who turned around and saw Luan Ning's gloomy eyes. She couldn't help but smile and asked, "Doctor Luan, then it's up to you to do it next?"

Luan Ning had already given up struggling, and upon hearing this, he nodded helplessly.

Seeing him like this, Jiang Ye smiled and leaned forward, patting his sleeve soothingly: "Don't worry, your medical skills will be fine as long as they are used normally."

Luan Ning looked at her helplessly again, and finally his eyes fell on his sleeves. Seeing that some of the light yellow powder was stained on his clothes again, Luan Ning sighed silently.

He has studied medicine for so many years, but he never thought that one day he would be able to use tricks to "cheat" patients.
