Chapter 26

Ah Tou watched the armwhich was at least a few meters longslowly approach the drivers face and reach into his mouth. The driver was too scared to move but his flashlight was shining at the right spot. The two women watched as an extremely long finger gradually went into the drivers mouth little by little.

Ah Tou almost threw up, thinking that the finger must have reached into his stomach by now. The driver seemed to be in a trance and didnt run at all. His whole body was twitching and his eyes rolled into the back of his head.

After about three minutes, the statue pulled its finger out. The driver immediately turned over and began to vomit. Then, they watched the statue slowly retreat into the darkness.

Once Liang Yanyan confirmed that the thing was really gone, she let go of Ah Tou, who immediately rushed over to help the driver. The drivers throat had been scratched up so he had a hard time expressing himself, but he kept saying: Monster, its a monster.

Liang Yanyan hauled herself onto the roof and looked around before jumping back down, "Hes gone. Let's keep our voices down."

"What was that thing?

"I don't know." She looked at the drivers vomit, "Finger-induced vomiting reflex."

"It scraped my intestines, it scraped my intestines!" The driver said. Liang Yanyan looked at the vomit again and froze before squatting down and using her hands to poke through it. Ah Tous eyes widened in disbelief.

"Its not vomit," Liang Yanyan took a deep breath and looked at Ah Tou. "This is cancerous tissue."

What?

"Sir, have you been having stomach problems recently?" Liang Yanyan asked.

"He can really treat everything? Ah Tou did a rough tally and found that there really were all kinds of diseases, and most of them were serious illnesses. "He really saved a lot of people."

"One of the most tragic things in the world is to be able to save others but not yourself, Liang Yanyan said while flipping through another book.

The driver spoke up at this time, Madams, lets go. I wont charge you. Lets leave this place and Ill drive you back. I cant stay here any longer.

"You can't go, Liang Yanyan said. I have connections in the general hospital and you need a medical exam.

The driver was stunned again. "If you go to the hospital by yourself, youll have to register and wait in line for the CT scan, Liang Yanyan said. I can get all of that done for you tonight. I have a medical license. It would honestly be better for you to stay here and wait for us."

Ah Tou didn't hear this exchange, too busy flipping through the bookkeeping journals to pay any attention to them. She noticed that there was a holy number on every journals cover page. Ah Tou frowned, did Long Immortal arrange these journals according to his own age?

She flipped through the journals one by one until she reached the journal containing the words "Thirty Years Old". There were only a dozen names in this journal, and one word was written after each name: death.

Ah Tou thought for a while. After Long Immortal reached the age of thirty, he couldnt treat and save the patients anymore, so they all died?

"I have a theory," Ah Tou said after summoning up her courage.

But at this time, Liang Yanyan raised the journal in her hand and showed it to Ah Tou, No need. Heres a chronicle of Long Immortals life.

Yvettes note: Hey all, sorry for the slow updates over the past month. I was super busy with school. I have a couple weeks off, so Ill be back on track. As youve already seen, I also translated some featured comments. I only translated those that are meaningful, though, but its totally up to you whether you want to read them. I understand some readers don't like to read comments, and I totally respect that. A Thousand Faces Part 1 has 47 chapters, and the story is not finished at all. I don't know when Part 2 will come out, but it's worth waiting because things get super interesting in the later chapters. Thank you all for your support!
