Qi Heng played...
Chapter 285
While Qi Heng was waiting on the side, he was not doing nothing.
He opened the cabinet and took out a medicine box with a low-temperature preservation function. He took out a red-capped medicine from the box and picked up a disposable syringe that was no thicker than a finger.
Insert the needle of the syringe into the medicine, extract the red, yellow and blue medicines one by one in a specific order, and finally inject them into a blank catheter to mix.
Finally, pull it out again, shake it a few times and replace the used needle at the front end.
Qi Heng looked at Ye Xiao, who was lying on the hospital bed and was still dazed after just waking up, and put the prepared medicine syringe into the medicine box.
This potion used to slow down mental strength was of course prepared for Ye Xiao who was lying on the bed.
Originally, he should have used it on Ye Xiao when Ye Xiao woke up.
But in the end, he still chose to delay injecting the medicine into Ye Xiao.
——Qi Heng wanted to see how Ye Xiao would react to his lost and recovered mental power.
There was nothing he could do about it. The four samples he had were the only ones in front of him. He had to observe if they could control the situation after their mental strength was restored. This would also help him retain more reference material for developing a subsequent treatment plan.
Ye Xiao and the others' potential mental power ratings are all above S-level. If even they are unable to control and suppress their mental power after waking up, making the mental power obey them.
...Then from now on, when treating male insects with a potential mental power rating below S level, the injection of the mental power slowing potion must be advanced to the moment the male insect wakes up.
Qi Heng was observing Ye Xiao.
He glanced at the time. Almost five minutes had passed since Ye Xiao woke up.
The remaining effect of the anesthetic will soon be metabolized. Without the effect of the anesthetic, Ye Xiao's mental power that has become active again in his body will wake up from the "anesthetized" dormant state.
The equipment in the medical center is the best, especially the ward prepared for male insects. In addition to basic vital signs detection instruments, it also has all the equipment that Qi Heng can get or modify to monitor mental fluctuations.
These mental power-related monitoring instruments are extremely sensitive and will not miss any fluctuations in the mental power wavelength.
Qi Heng stared at the screen on Ye Xiao's bedside.
Time is up.
The next moment, the part related to mental power on the screen began to change.
The relevant data kept changing, and the curve that originally represented the mental power being in a stable stage also began to fluctuate, rising from a stable low value, and doubled in just a few tens of seconds.
And this number is still rising.
The change in the numerical value represents Ye Xiao’s current physical condition.
At this moment, Ye Xiao had not yet fully recovered from the confusion of just waking up, and had not even recovered the strength to raise his hand, but he felt a strange change.
The change was not as drastic as the numerical value displayed on the bedside screen. It was very weak, but it could not be ignored by Ye Xiao. It was as clearly visible as a firefly at night.
At first, it was just a faint perception.
Later, this perception gradually became clearer, as if I had an additional perception besides sight, hearing and touch.
Ye Xiao, who had studied and completed the basic courses on mental power and had a relatively comprehensive knowledge of mental power, almost immediately matched this perception with what he had learned.
Is it mental power?
Is this mental power?
Thinking of the various wonderful uses of mental power described in the book, Ye Xiao couldn't help but want to try it, and then he found out - there was no way to control it at all.
It's completely different from what the book says.
It didn't feel as though I had moved my arms and legs, but rather heavy, as if the heaviness of the body had also spread to my mental strength.
As time passed, the originally dull and stagnant mental power not only became active, but also transformed from being as stagnant as a drop in the ocean into flowing water, spreading outward uncontrollably.
The book says that mental power is like a second pair of eyes. The perception transmitted back by mental power can form images in the brain just like what is seen with the two eyes.
Ye Xiao couldn't control his mental power, so when his mental power spread out, he felt countless pieces of information continuously flowing into his mind along with his mental power perception.
As the information continued to form pictures in his mind, Ye Xiao felt like his head was about to explode.
My head hurts.
[Your Excellency, something is not right with Ye Xiao.]
Yeah, I can see that.
He was communicating painfully in his heart, and his eyes never left Ye Xiao.
Even if Qi Heng did not release his mental power, he could feel Ye Xiao's mental power spreading outward, filling the entire ward.
【Aren't you going to take action?】
Waiting.
A quick glance at the monitoring data on the screen showed that it had not yet reached the red line he set, so drug intervention could be delayed a little longer.
Missing the initial active period of mental power is also a loss for male insects.
If possible, Qi Heng hopes that they can get through this stage on their own rather than relying on medication.
Qi Heng released his mental power.
He is used to completely retracting his mental power when not in use, just like the pheromones he carries with him. Therefore, no matter who encounters him, as long as he does not actively release it, they will not be sensed.
Before releasing his mental power, one could infer Ye Xiao's current mental state from his monitoring data, and judge that Ye Xiao's mental power was dissipating in the ward.
But that was just an inference based on the data, not a real contact and feeling of Ye Xiao's mental power.
After releasing his mental power, Qi Heng frowned.
If Ye Xiao's mental power was compared to water, then the entire ward was like a flood, with Ye Xiao's mental power flowing everywhere, and the source of this "water" was Ye Xiao lying on the bed.
Ye Xiao was like a faucet that had been opened, with water constantly flowing out.
Even Ye Xiao, who was rated at S level, could not withstand a long period of "opening the floodgates". If this continued, it would not be long before Ye Xiao would experience what it felt like to have his mental power exhausted before he had even experienced how to use it.
Ye Xiao’s current mental strength...can’t last for too long.
Qi Heng sighed, opened up his mental power, forced Ye Xiao's mental power to shrink, and continued to condense it back to Ye Xiao's side.
When he was helping Ye Xiao to remove the blockage from his brain, he certainly checked Ye Xiao's mental state. At that time, he found that Ye Xiao's mental level was at C level.
It has nothing to do with age or acquired qualities. This C-level mental power is what Ye Xiao possessed in his childhood, and it is the level that Ye Xiao was born with.
It’s a pity that Ye Xiao’s brain has been closed for many years and his mental power has been suppressed. Otherwise, even if Ye Xiao’s mental power does not reach the S-level evaluation after he becomes an adult, it will not be lower than A-level.
"Try to control it. Do you remember the control method you have seen?" Qi Heng put the potion in his pocket and walked to Ye Xiao.
Seeing Ye Xiao's painful expression, he separated a strand of his mental power to help Ye Xiao build a shallow mental barrier.
Given the current situation, it is impossible to expect Ye Xiao to understand it on his own. We can only see if Ye Xiao can control it after we help him.
As soon as that layer of mental barrier was established, the painful expression on Ye Xiao's face suddenly eased.
"Establish a mental barrier to filter out useless information..."
Hearing the doctor's voice in his ear, Ye Xiao opened his tightly closed eyes. The sweat on his forehead mixed with the tears in the corners of his eyes and slid down his temples into his hair.
He tried to do as the doctor said, and tried to control his mental power awkwardly, imitating the barrier in his brain and building his own mental barrier.
This process is not easy.
But Ye Xiao originally thought it was easy, especially after he finished reading those books.
Now I think it was just talk. When faced with this situation in reality, he would be lucky if he could succeed in the end, let alone succeed in the first place.
With the help of the Doctor, those disobedient spiritual powers seemed to be less rebellious. After trying several more times, Ye Xiao was finally able to control a strand of spiritual power and make it act according to his own ideas.
Take the first step and the rest will be easier.
Your Excellency the Lord...
A0 wanted to say something, but was muted before he could finish his words.
Qi Heng knew what A0 wanted to say. He just wanted to dissuade him from such mentally draining behavior, but he couldn't care less at the moment. The most important thing was to help Ye Xiao.
Of course, Ye Xiao also knew that the doctor was helping him. After regaining his mental power, he could instinctively distinguish his own mental power from that of others.
Not to mention that his mental power was now being driven away and suppressed to one place. Although the other party had no ill intentions and was just trying to help him, the pressure he felt did not decrease at all.
Ye Xiao tried hard to control more mental power, recalling what he had read before, and letting them weave into a fine net little by little under his command, until it was finally airtight.
During this period, the spiritual power that did not belong to him and was as vast as the ocean remained unchanged.
Ye Xiao thought subconsciously.
Your Excellency the Doctor’s mental power is quite strong, but isn’t it said that mental powers will repel each other? I don’t seem to feel it?
Still... somewhat close.
This thought flashed through Ye Xiao's mind.
But soon, he gave up exploring further.
There was no other reason, it was just because building his own mental barrier took up all of Ye Xiao's energy. At this critical moment, everything else had to take a back seat.
"Don't be impatient." Qi Heng said.
His mental power built a barrier in Ye Xiao's brain. Before removing this barrier, Ye Xiao's every move could not escape his perception.
When Qi Heng noticed that Ye Xiao's mental strength was becoming a little impatient, he immediately reminded him.
"I'll give you time."
"If you can't do it, I will inject you with a potion that will slow down your mental activity in time so that you won't get hurt."
Qi Heng's calm and indifferent tone successfully calmed Ye Xiao.
It was visible to the naked eye that the changes in Ye Xiao's mental power values on the screen had slowed down, unlike before when it went up and down so much that it made people jump with fear.
I have to say, although I know in my heart that the doctor will not ignore me, Ye Xiao still feels more at ease after hearing this.
It seems that the specially prepared medicine is no longer useful at the moment.
Estimating the consumption of mental power, Qi Heng silently waited for Ye Xiao to build a mental power barrier.
This wait lasted half an hour.
Half an hour later, sensing that Ye Xiao's own mental barrier was complete and confirming that it would not fall apart for a while, he directly withdrew his mental power.
"Now, try to retract your mental strength."
Qi Heng met Ye Xiao's eyes, took out the syringe of medicine from his pocket, and said, "Later, I will gradually withdraw the suppression of your mental power. If you can't control it, I will inject you with medicine."
"Blink if you understand."
Ye Xiao blinked when he heard this.
Seeing this, Qi Heng gave Ye Xiao a few moments to prepare and then began to recover his outward mental power.
With the experience of building a mental barrier, Ye Xiao also had some knowledge of how to control mental power. He tried to take back the mental power that was previously disobedient and limp.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to do it, but it turned out to be so smooth.
Does mental power also have the attribute of bullying the weak and fearing the strong?
Otherwise, why do I feel that these mental powers that should belong to me seem to have become much more obedient after being "taught a lesson" by the doctor's mental power?
Wait, the book says that psychic power carries part of the owner's personality, so... the one who bullies the weak and fears the strong... is actually me?
Ye Xiao's thoughts became a little confused after realizing this, and he unconsciously relaxed his control over his mental power, almost letting the mental power he had finally controlled run away again.
Fortunately, before making a mistake, I heard the doctor say "focus", which allowed me to refocus my attention on concentrating my mental strength.
