Chapter 559: Chapter 556: An Instant Cure

Ignoring the filthy stains, Mo Ling carefully examined the tiny spheres.

They no longer had that strange sense of emptiness and felt like nothing more than ordinary sand. However, a powerful attractive force existed between the spheres, allowing them to clump together.

"Is this some kind of magnet?"

The small, dark spheres certainly felt like magnetic material, but they were much harder.

Mo Ling’s vision gradually probed into one of the spheres. The tiny, spherical particle actually contained a complex structure, like an intricate maze. The moment Mo Ling observed this internal structure, the sphere instantly disintegrated, vanishing from his palm.

’It disappears upon observation? What on earth is this?’

Mo Ling tried to recall the maze-like structure he had just seen, but it had been too complex for him to commit to memory.

Fortunately, there were plenty more spheres.

With that thought, Mo Ling extended his vision into another sphere.

However, to Mo Ling’s surprise, the maze-like structure inside every sphere was different. The internal patterns were strange and varied. Although Mo Ling couldn’t memorize the exact layout of these mazes, he could still discern differences in certain sections.

Moreover, just like the first one he had observed, these spheres would completely disintegrate and dissipate the instant Mo Ling peered inside the maze.

’It’s like some kind of security protocol. It self-destructs the moment it senses someone trying to crack it...’ The strange spheres certainly gave Mo Ling that impression.

He had a very strong premonition that these small spheres were a kind of—weapon.

A highly advanced weapon, capable of hiding inside a Healer’s Healing Space. It also possessed, as Xi Chui had mentioned, a strong "resistance," and would even self-destruct upon discovery.

’Who would want to use this kind of weapon against the Healers?’

Mo Ling recalled the sounds he’d heard earlier, like paper being torn. The owners of those voices must be the culprits using these black spheres.

’But what did they mean by all that?’

’A disease targeting Healers?’

’Powerful abilities, but incredibly weak minds?’

’Is this black-sphere weapon designed specifically for Healers? Is this a conspiracy targeting the Hua Sheng Islands? What are they trying to do? Eliminate the Healers? How could a race dedicated to healing the sick and saving lives make enemies?’

Mo Ling fell into deep thought. He had a faint feeling that a great shadow loomed over the Hua Sheng Islands. The beacon’s constant warning signals were likely because it had detected this massive crisis.

The Healers on both Hundred Flowers Island and Senluo Island were already in chaos. He wondered if the Central Island was in an even worse state...

But for now, the only way to learn more was to press on.

As he pondered this, Mo Ling extended his vision out of the Block.

’I wonder where I am now...’

After that teleportation, Mo Ling had completely lost his bearings.

However, when he extended his senses out from the Block, he found himself in a dense forest.

Lush, towering trees surrounded him. They all looked identical, spaced apart with perfect uniformity. Sunlight filtered down through the canopy, and a gentle breeze stirred the leaves. Every leaf in the entire forest swayed at the exact same frequency, as if they had been copied and pasted.

Watching the swaying leaves, Mo Ling was baffled. These were the Matrix Trees, but they weren’t in their stitched state. They all looked like ordinary, large trees. Except for the perfectly synchronized swaying, they appeared no different from the normal trees he’d seen before.

’Where are the severed limbs? The organs? The flesh and blood?’

Those strange afflictions were absent from the Matrix Trees. The leaves were normal, the bark was normal. Mo Ling’s vision probed the trunks—the insides were normal. He delved underground—the roots were normal, too.

Mo Ling’s vision swept around rapidly. He examined several Matrix Trees in succession but found no trace of the stitched state.

’The fusion... is gone?’

’How can this be?’

Then, something even more shocking occurred.

Not far off in the woods, Xi Chui was in a heated discussion with another Healer, gesticulating wildly. Li Luo stood to the side, listening intently and occasionally glancing between the two Healers.

And that other Healer was wearing a woven bracelet on his wrist.

The bracelet looked brand new. The bamboo vines were shaved perfectly smooth, and the Pot Bell Grass was a vibrant green, as if freshly picked. As the Healer gestured, the bracelet let out a crisp, ringing sound.

’The manager?’

Mo Ling drifted closer in disbelief, beginning to wonder if this was the real Matrix Tree forest or if he was inside a Healing Space.

As Mo Ling drew nearer, he could make out their conversation:

"You have to believe me! There must be a crisis on the Central Island right now. Otherwise, the Elder would’ve definitely come to help us!" Xi Chui shouted, her voice full of conviction.

"Whatever crisis is happening on the Central Island, my duty is to protect Senluo Island. I can’t go with you," the manager said calmly.

"Has anything strange happened on Senluo Island recently?" Xi Chui asked.

"Yes. It’s been a long time since other Healers have visited Senluo Island. You’re the first, and you’ve brought a human with you..." the manager said, glancing suspiciously at Li Luo.

"Because the human detected the beacon’s signal!" Xi Chui hurriedly explained, proceeding to tell the manager why Li Luo had come to the Hua Sheng Islands.

After listening, the manager’s tone softened slightly.

"I understand, but I really cannot leave. I’m sorry..."

"However, I have a way to send you directly to the Central Island."

"What way is that?" Xi Chui immediately pressed.

"Senluo Island’s secret passage... You’ll find out when we use it."

The manager remained somewhat guarded and wouldn’t reveal the specific method, but he agreed to take Xi Chui and Li Luo to the location of the secret passage first.

"Put this on first."

The manager picked up two leaves from the ground, transformed them into two bracelets, and handed them to Li Luo and Xi Chui.

"Put them on and follow me." The manager turned and walked deeper into the Matrix Tree forest.

Li Luo and Xi Chui put on the bracelets and hurried to follow...

Mo Ling, watching this scene, was completely dumbfounded.

’The manager is back to normal?’

’Senluo Island is back to normal, too?’

’Is it like nothing ever happened?’

Mo Ling knew he had cured the manager’s illness and completely eliminated the "emptiness," but he never imagined that everything on Senluo Island would be so thoroughly restored.

’It’s as if... the timeline itself has changed...’
