He had already figured out the situation and knew that the patient in this ward was a 20-year-old girl. He had personally brought her here in an ambulance. The girl was full of youthful energy and had a maternal instinct; she was really beautiful.
Young girls like this have little social experience and are about to give birth, making them prone to panic when things happen, which makes them easier targets.
Bruce placed his right hand on the doorknob, about to forcefully turn the lock.
But then, a hand landed on his shoulder, and a voice came from his left ear: "Hey, grandpa, an ambulance driver shouldn't be in a private VIP ward."
Bruce felt a chill run down his spine, and only one thought crossed his mind: The Secret Service is here!
He instinctively pulled a scalpel from his sleeve with his right hand and stabbed it to his left.
The man didn't dodge; instead, he used a backhand grappling move to break the wrist holding the knife by twisting the joint!
"Ah!" Bruce screamed, then, despite the pain, he pulled a machete from his belt, severed his own wrist, and fled!
"So cruel!" Gu Ran removed the severed hand and suddenly felt a stinging pain as the blood flowing onto his hand stung his skin.
"The blood is poisonous!" he immediately judged.
He casually wiped away the bloodstains with a handkerchief and then used palm magic to heal himself.
Bruce had just reached the stairwell when he suddenly noticed a pregnant woman standing there.
He instinctively slowed his pace, trying to avoid her, but the pregnant woman suddenly attacked, throwing him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.
Immediately afterwards, the pregnant woman pulled a Japanese sword out of her protruding belly.
Murasame!
Chu Zihang drew Murasame, its bright blade gleaming coldly in the pale light. With a swift motion, he beheaded Bruce on the ground.
But Bruce didn't just sit there and wait to die. Instead, he rolled over to dodge the attack, then rolled down the stairs, preparing to break the glass in the stairwell and jump out to escape.
Just then, a shuriken came whistling through the air. Before Bruce could react, he was suddenly thrown into a fray.
Wind Release: Shuriken!
You can imbue shuriken with wind-style techniques, making them sturdy and sharp, even capable of cutting through rocks!
The next second, Bruce's head and body lost momentum, and with the help of inertia, he gently slammed against the glass with a 'thud' before slowly falling to the ground.
Its round head rolled twice on the ground before stopping.
"Ahhhh, there's still too much blood!" Gu Ran looked at the bloodstains all over the floor and started calling the 'cleaning crew'.
The 'cleaning team' is the logistics department of Kassel College, specializing in cleaning and collecting corpses.
Chu Zihang sheathed Murasame and took off the prosthetic belly he had been carrying for eleven days.
This mission involved little combat and was completed easily.
Because there are two people working together, and the partner's fighting ability is no weaker than one's own.
If Chu Zihang had acted alone, Bruce had already jumped out of the window, and he would have had to chase after him, resulting in a fierce battle that would have taken a lot of effort and might have even caused him to lose a lot of blood.
That will probably cause quite a stir.
The accident he caused in Chicago last time had a significant impact, and he received a disciplinary action.
For the first time, Chu Zihang experienced how easy and effortless it was to complete a task in cooperation with others.
Professor Schneider, who was far away in the executive department of Kassel College, finally understood something after hearing the news that the mission had been completed easily.
Chu Zihang isn't incapable of cooperating with others, but rather he can't partner with someone too weak, as they'll both drag each other down.
Previously, he had always thought that only Caesar could be Chu Zihang's partner, but Caesar's identity was special, and the fact that he had to send two gang leaders to deal with one Deadpool seemed like a waste of his talents.
But Gu Ran is just right. He has enough strength, is a freshman who lacks experience, and is the future successor of the Lionheart Society.
Using the pretext of training the future president of the Lionheart Society, he teamed up with Chu Zihang to undertake more missions.
In the future, we can have the two of them work together more often.
As Chu Zihang's mentor, Schneider didn't want his student to be like a lone wolf, constantly venturing into dangerous situations alone.
This is too lonely.
……
The cleaning team finished the big clean-up before dawn.
Gu Ran submitted the blood sample from the handkerchief to the system.
Bruce Green's blood sample was classified as Grade C; this sample cannot be collected again.

[Learned C-rank physical technique: Immortal Technique - Frog Knock]
[Current total chakra is 34 calories]
[Current progress of unlocking the Immortal Body is 45%]
[Current progress of unlocking the Mangekyou Sharingan: 17/24]
Frog Strike is a physical technique in Sage Mode. When used, it extracts natural energy and concentrates it in the palm to launch an attack with great force. It can not only damage the surface, but the fluctuations generated by the natural energy can also damage the inside!
It's a pretty good immortal technique.
When Gu Ran and Chu Zihang boarded the CC1000 train back to school, the Executive Department also sent the results of Bruce the Alchemist's investigation.
He recounted the history and origins of the Green family.
As for that dark alchemical experiment, Gu Ran always felt it was somewhat like "Golden Elixir".
Golden Elixir, the blood of a high-ranking dragon newly evolved, is also known by Herzog as "King's Blood."
Dragon blood is highly toxic to humans, while fetal blood is the least toxic but most potent, capable of instantly transforming an ordinary person into the strongest hybrid, or even... a Dragon King.
Chapter 225 White Valentine's Day
Gu Ran then recalled a kind of pill refined by her mother, Zhang Qiong, which could stabilize and alleviate the killing intent within the mixed-blood individuals.
I don't know if these things are related.
He vaguely felt there was a crucial clue in this, one he was almost able to grasp.
……
Two days later, Lu Mingfei and Fingel had another argument early in the morning, still about what happened on the campus news, where Lu Mingfei was portrayed as a good-for-nothing.
Although it was the truth, it was still very hurtful.
Lu Mingfei didn't have Gu Ran's courage to draw his sword and threaten, so Fingel refused to delete the embarrassing news about him. Instead, he said confidently, "I made you famous, so even infamy is fame."
In Project Bronze, the most dashing is undoubtedly Caesar, while the most cowardly is Lu Mingfei.
The two argued for a while when suddenly someone knocked on the dormitory door.
"coming!"
Lu Mingfei opened the door like a madam greeting a customer, and was shocked to see who it was—his boss, Caesar!
"Do you have sugar in your dorm?" Caesar asked.
"Yes, yes."
"Lend me some."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Lu Mingfei quickly went to get the candy and politely and respectfully handed it to his boss.
Caesar nodded slightly, then returned to the opposite dormitory, room 304.
Lu Mingfei was completely bewildered. Why was his boss living across the hall from him?
The sensible senior student Finger explained that they had recently changed dorm rooms, and Susie and Nono were living across the hall.
As for Caesar coming over to borrow sugar, it's a Western way of striking up a conversation. When you move to a new place and don't know your neighbors well, you can use borrowing sugar as an excuse to strike up a conversation. Over time, you can get to know your neighbors better.
"So that's how it is..." Lu Mingfei finally had a slightly different opinion of Fingel. Having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Senior Da Ba's knowledge is indeed very rich.
But then I thought, what's wrong with that? Wasn't it Nono who moved to the opposite side of the street? What does it have to do with Caesar?
Suddenly, a crisp metallic sound echoed throughout the floor, like the sound of a sword being rang out in a cultivation novel.
The two were surprised and searched for the source of the sound, only to find that Chu Zihang on the other side was holding the Murasame sword and slicing salmon!
Susie was wearing an apron and holding a flatbread in her hands, about to bake it.
She saw Lu Mingfei, smiled slightly, and invited the two of them to come and celebrate the holiday together.
Today is White Valentine's Day.
Lu Mingfei often watches Japanese anime, so of course he knows about White Valentine's Day.
Valentine's Day is celebrated differently in island nations than in the West. On February 14th, girls in island nations give gifts to boys first, and then on March 14th, the boys who received the gifts give the girls a return gift.
But all these years have passed, and no girl has ever given him chocolates.
"If you want some chocolate, I'll give it to you." Wearing hot pants that revealed her long, white legs, Nono handed Lu Mingfei a piece of chocolate that she had peeled off the wall.
Lu Mingfei was flattered and surprised, experiencing his first Valentine's Day with chocolate.
"Me too! Me too!" Fingel begged for food like a lapdog.
Nono peeled off a large piece for him and handed it to Finger.
Both of them saw that in room 304 across the hall, there was a chocolate wall with Caesar's name spelled out on it.
"Finger, could you come over and watch the pizza in the oven for me? I'll treat you to it when it's done," Susie said, inviting the eighth-year senior to join in.
"No problem!" The senior student, who had repeated a year, happily walked into dormitory 304, showing his reliability to the younger students.
Nuonuo and Lu Mingfei talked about the underwater situation again, but Lu Mingfei never mentioned his berserk state.
"I'm throwing a party today, want to come over for pizza?" Nono invited Lu Mingfei to join in. "No dancing, but you can invite Russian girl Zero to dance too."
"I... I'm not going. I have to go to the library to write my thesis." Lu Mingfei unusually declined the invitation. Perhaps it was because the leaders of the Lionheart Club and the Student Union were both there, and if he, the loser, joined in, he would look especially unlucky.
Or perhaps, in such an occasion, Nono would definitely be with Caesar, and it would be pointless for him to stand out as a scapegoat.
Receiving chocolates on Valentine's Day is enough to make him happy for a long time.
Nono didn't mind, and asked them if it would be noisy at night, as she and Susie preferred quiet.
Lu Mingfei said no, just make sure you get Fingel drunk more tonight.
