Legendary Person: I brought my skills back to reality!

Xu Hao gently placed the paper talisman on the child's forehead, muttering obscure and difficult-to-understand incantations in a low voice.

(I didn't use K, I didn't use K, blu biu blu biu, dinosaur fighting wolf dinosaur wolf, by the way, don't all kids like this?)

In an instant, the runes on the paper talisman seemed to come alive, shining brightly with golden light, spreading out like flowing water and enveloping the child's entire body.

As the golden light spread, the eerie red line began to tremble violently, as if struggling against some unseen force. Xu Hao held his breath, staring intently at the scene, fearing any unexpected event might occur.

Gradually, the red line began to dim, eventually turning into a wisp of smoke and dissipating into the air. At the same time, the golden light slowly faded, leaving only an ordinary yellow paper stuck to the child's forehead.

Xu Hao carefully peeled off the paper talisman and saw that the child's complexion had completely returned to a rosy hue, and his breathing was steady and strong, as if he had fallen into a peaceful sleep.

Shi Shaowei was utterly astonished. Who brought whom to broaden their horizons? What was that incantation all about? Did I mishear it? Have I been too tired from work these past few days?

"Hey bro, your inner ring, the medicine, and this talisman, they're all..."

"Brother, don't rush, I haven't made up a story yet... Oh no, now is not the time to explain this, there are still many children waiting for us to treat them!"

"Oh ok!"

Xu Hao used the same method to save the remaining two children. When the three children opened their eyes and woke up, Shi Shaowei and Xu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Xu Hao received a notification from the system, but he ignored it.

Just then, the ward door was gently pushed open, and Dr. Zhang Ming walked in, looking exhausted. His white coat was stained with coffee, indicating that he had been working continuously for a long time.

Zhang Ming looked around and saw that the three children had woken up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He quickly walked to the bedside and carefully checked the children's condition.

"That's great, they've woken up!" Zhang Ming said happily. "However, the condition of the other children is not optimistic. We have arranged for more than 20 sick children to be admitted to the hospital. Their condition is relatively stable at present, but the black lines on their hands are still slowly growing."

"Gentlemen, do you have any treatment options available?"

Shi Shaowei nodded. He took the glass ring out of his pocket and handed it to Zhang Ming.

“Dr. Zhang, take this,” Shi Shaowei said seriously. “Have each child wear this ring for one minute. It can alleviate the children’s symptoms. We’ll figure out the rest.”

Zhang Ming took the ring and examined the ordinary glass ornament with curiosity. He frowned in doubt, "What is this? Does it really work?"

He was a very responsible doctor; what kind of random things would he dare to put on his patients? But looking at the three children who had already woken up, and remembering Shi Shaowei's identity as a policeman, he hesitated for a moment.

Shi Shaowei was momentarily speechless, his eyes darting around. He coughed, then fabricated a reason: "This is... a special kind of energy stone. During our investigation, we discovered that it seems to have some effect on this strange disease. Although it cannot cure it, it can at least slow down the progression of the disease."

Zhang Ming looked at Shi Shaowei with some skepticism, then at Xu Hao. Xu Hao understood and immediately chimed in, "That's right, Dr. Zhang. We discovered this method in previous cases. Although it sounds unbelievable, it really works."

Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, then finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, we don't have any other options for the time being, so let's give it a try! If any problems arise, you'll be responsible!"

After saying that, Zhang Ming carefully put the ring away, turned around and left the ward, preparing to try this unusual treatment method.

After Dr. Zhang Ming left, Xu Hao suddenly seemed to remember something.

"Wait a minute," Xu Hao frowned, "With so many children hospitalized, how come we haven't seen a single parent?"

Shi Shaowei also realized the problem. "It's really strange. Every family's child is precious. If one child gets into this kind of trouble, the whole family would probably have to come out and help. How come we haven't seen a single parent? And these three, are they just lying in hospital beds by themselves? Without even a caregiver?"

Xu Hao: "Let's go ask the nurse."

The two left the ward and found a nurse on duty in the corridor. The nurse was busy organizing medical records and nodded politely when she saw them approaching.

"Hello," Shi Shaowei showed his police ID, "we'd like to know where the parents of these sick children are?"

The nurse stopped what she was doing, her expression complicated. "Officer, these children... are all orphans."

Xu Hao and Shi Shaowei exchanged a surprised glance.

The nurse continued, "They're all from the city's welfare home. We received a notification from our superiors that the welfare home suddenly reported a large number of children exhibiting the same symptoms. The 120 emergency services immediately dispatched ambulances to take them to various hospitals. It might be some kind of mass poisoning or something."

"Are all sick children orphans?" Xu Hao pressed. "Not a single one?"

The nurse glanced through the medical records in her hand and confirmed, "Yes, so far, all the children admitted to the hospital have come from the welfare home."

Shi Shaowei nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, thank you!"

The two left the nurses' station and walked to a quiet corner.

"This problem is almost certainly originating from the orphanage. Should we make a trip there?" Xu Hao said in a low voice.

Just then, Dr. Zhang Ming rushed over, his face beaming with surprise.

"Gentlemen, the ring you gave us really worked! The children's symptoms have improved significantly!"

Xu Hao and Shi Shaowei exchanged a knowing smile, a tacit understanding flashing in their eyes. Shi Shaowei took the ring from Dr. Zhang Ming's hand, examined it carefully, and then cautiously put it into his pocket after confirming it was genuine.

"Dr. Zhang, please notify the other hospitals that are treating the children. We'll send someone over to help immediately." Shi Shaowei said, taking out his phone and making a call to the management staff waiting downstairs.

"Hello, Xiao Li? Immediately dispatch personnel, equipped with the special items we've prepared, to various hospitals. Yes, the hospitals that are treating those orphans. Follow the operating procedures I sent you; each child wears the mask for one minute, remember to time it. Report any issues immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Hao took out three small bottles from his pocket, which were three bottles of Sun Water. He whispered, "If a child's condition is particularly serious, you can feed them a small sip. Remember, only a small sip, too much may have side effects."

These Sun Waters were dropped from the last time we fought the Skeleton Spirit, and they're perfect for this use.

Zhang Ming took the bottle and nodded solemnly.

After making the arrangements, Xu Hao and Shi Shaowei walked out of the hospital and got into the police car parked at the entrance.

"To the welfare home?" Shi Shaowei asked as he started the car.

Xu Hao nodded. "That's right, I have a feeling the root of the problem lies there. We need to find out as soon as possible, lest things get complicated."

As the car drove into the night, Shi Shaowei suddenly spoke up: "Should we tell Lin Ya to use that ring on her hand too?"

Xu Hao was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "We don't need it for now. The situation is unclear right now, so it's good for her to keep it for self-defense. Besides, we should have enough with this one."

Shi Shaowei nodded in understanding and focused on driving, speeding towards the city welfare home.
