The room went silent. Everyone froze.
"WHAT?!" Zhao Lili screamed again. Her face turned red in shock.
"No way! That can't be true!" Bai Yu muttered. He looked like he was trying to do math in his head.
Zhou Lei rubbed his eyes, looking half-asleep. "I think I'm dreaming…"
But Gu Jin just smiled her mysterious little smile and said nothing.
Zhou Lei blinked, then took out his phone. "Wait… What poison was it again, doctor?"
The doctor replied with a strange name, one that sounded long and difficult.
Zhou Lei's sleepy look disappeared. He stepped outside and quickly called his father, who worked in the medicine industry.
"Hey, Dad? Do you know about this poison?"
There was a long pause. Zhou Lei listened, nodding, then his eyes slowly widened.
"W-What?!"
More silence. His face turned paler by the second.
"Wait, so… it eats the inner body from the inside… and if untreated… the person can't even stand up for seven months?!"
Everyone turned to him in shock.
