Chapter 136 – Going Too Far
Inside the quiet acupuncture room, John pulled the curtain shut behind him.
He preferred to work alone—especially when the condition was as unusual as this one. No distractions. No eyes watching.
He unrolled his acupuncture kit.
As he gently inserted the needles—one at the Baihui acupoint, then Shenmen, Zhaohai, and Anmian—the boy's cries softened. Gradually, his breathing calmed, and moments later, he drifted into a peaceful sleep.
Then John placed two fingers—his index and middle—on the child's eyelids. He silently recited a mystical formula.
A soft blue light flashed from his fingertips, entering the boy's eyes.
Astral vision.
A rare, supernatural sensitivity that sometimes appeared in children. Usually, it faded with age. But this child's vision had persisted, causing him distress. John didn't need to eliminate it—just seal it temporarily.
Ten minutes later, John emerged from the room, gently carrying the sleeping child.
He handed the boy to Sara.
She was still reeling from the revelation of John's true identity. But when she saw her son finally calm, her confusion turned to joy.
