Now was not the time to dwell on those thoughts.
Skylar knew that Joe's situation was urgent. The negative item had already begun to affect him.
If she wasn't mistaken, Joe's condition should be similar to Paul's.
For those with weak willpower, the sudden influx of memories would cause little pain—they'd quickly accept them. But for someone with Joe's resilience, the struggle to resist the invasive memories was agonizing. It felt as though his very essence was being ripped apart.
Skylar sprang into action, grabbing a pen and swiftly drawing a seal on Joe's palm. The moment she finished, she sensed his condition stabilize. The influence of the negative item began to wane.
Skylar wiped the sweat from her forehead just as Howard arrived.
He asked, "What's going on with Mr. Martin?"
He had just performed some checkups on Joe a few days ago. Joe's health had been excellent, and there were no major issues.
Skylar turned to Howard. "He came into contact with a negative item, and now it's affecting him. We need to step outside and talk. He requires a quiet environment to calm his mind."
"Oh, okay."
Howard's expression became more serious after learning it was a negative item. He had just spoken with Paul over the phone, learning about the situation Paul had encountered a few days ago.
Paul had come into contact with a similar negative item, and it had caused him to believe he had been reborn. He had developed strange, movie-like memories that didn't belong to him.
When Howard heard that, he thought it sounded fantastical. But now, seeing Joe's condition and observing Skylar's serious expression, he suddenly understood how harmful these negative items could be.
