Walker Of The Worlds

"Wake up! Hei Wen wake up!" Multiple voices shouted.

Hei Wen's eyes suddenly opened wide, and he sat up straight. He looked around and saw all of his companions surrounding him, while Hei Bao had his hands on his shoulders and was shaking him. Hei Wen's eyes were bloodshot and his nose was bleeding.

Lin Mu was woken up by the commotion that was happening in the room a while back. He had been cultivating the entire night and had been sitting in the same position. When he woke up, he saw one of the members of the Hei Corps trying to wake up Hei Wen, who had apparently fallen asleep on the bed near him.

Hei Wen was not responding and was bleeding from his nose as well. Lin Mu did not know what happened and guessed the worst.

'Was he perhaps affected by some kind of poison?' Lin Mu thought to himself.

"Hmm, that's difficult to say. Heavens know that you two came in contact with multiple poisons last night, it could have been one of them." Xukong replied.

By now, the frantic shouting of Hei Wen's companion had attracted the attention of other people as well. Even Hei Bao had reached there and had taken over the duty to try and wake Hei Wen up. Seeing that Hei Wen was still not responding to Hei Bao's and other attempts, Lin Mu decided to tell them.

"He may be affected by some kind of poison. Perhaps the same one that affected the town's residents." Lin Mu stated.

Hei Bao and the others listened to his words and turned around.

"Yes, of course, they did tell us that before." Hei Shi spoke.

"It could indeed be the same poison that's affecting the residents, but still, why is he bleeding from his nose?" Another member added.

"Whatever it may be, at least he's still breathing. Let's try a few other methods, Hei Fen go and get some of the smelling salts." Hei Bao ordered one of his companions.

The man named Hei Fen instantly left the room and rushed to get the smelling salts. He returned a minute later with a small vial of smelling salts in his hand. Hei Fen then handed the vial to Hei Bao, who popped its cork open and held it under the nose of Hei Wen, while the others shouted.

Suddenly Hei Wen shot up and sat upright. The others looked at his blood-shot eyes, which had a hint of madness mixed in them. Hei Shi gulped and looked at the distressed expression of Hei Wen.
