"Phew."
Half an hour later, under the anxious watch of the cardiology experts from Wu City First Hospital, Qin Lin performed the Nine Needles of Hell on James, finally channeling his Inner Strength into the silver needles.
"All nine needles vibrate, snatching life from the gates of hell!"
As Qin Lin grunted forcefully, the nine silver needles inserted near James's heart began to vibrate on their own. Immediately, color returned to James's pallid face and body, clear signs of revival as blood began to circulate normally again!
"Look, his heartbeat."
At that moment, an attending doctor pointed at the heart monitor in elation. "It's almost back to normal!"
"Rise!"
Amid the attending doctor's astonished cry, Qin Lin let out another cold grunt. The nine needles vibrated in unison before simultaneously withdrawing from James's body.
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP.
In an instant, the hospital room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. The only sound was the robust beating of James's heart.
