Chapter 232

Chapter 232

In the middle of the night, Xi Siling finally woke up.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar place, but he felt at ease when he saw Lin Zhipei half-lying on the edge of the bed not far away, and Liu Huaqi sitting at the desk with his head supported by one hand.

He seemed to have had a long dream, but he remembered nothing after waking up.

"Si Ling? Are you okay? Thank God you finally woke up!!!"

The system was really worried, and it was even more frightened that it was completely unable to connect with Xi Siling's soul.

But without Xi Siling's consent, he could not use his willpower and could not even force a connection.

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

Xi Siling really had no idea about her own situation and was only confused.

"System, please tell me everything I want to do after I get out of the alien network."

The system then began to recount what had happened that day.

The moment Xi Siling confirmed leaving the foreign network, the system lost Xi Siling's signal.

In fact, it cannot be counted that way. It is not disconnected. The system can still sense the existence of Xi Siling's soul, but it gets no response no matter what. All calls fall on deaf ears.

Then Xi Siling in reality suddenly woke up and attacked Lin Zipei.

"I was so scared at the time! Now I think it's a good thing I didn't try to contact him. This guy is not you at all!"

The system seemed to suddenly understand why Xi Siling needed so much willpower when she wanted to change the color of her eyes.

The conspiracy of crossing Si Ling's life cannot be solved by just changing the color of her eyes!

"I didn't hurt them, did I?"

Xi Siling didn't feel any discomfort when she woke up this time, so 77 and Pepe must have used less force when trying to stop her, as they didn't want to hurt her.

"No." The system said quickly.

Only then did Xi Siling breathe a sigh of relief.

Even though he knew he couldn't be blamed, he really wouldn't forgive himself if his friends got hurt.

"Go on."

"Um."

Then, Xi Siling woke up after hearing everyone calling her, and then fainted again.

"77 and Pepe have decided to set off immediately to take you back to Shengjing to find Cui Benji."

"Am I here with Cui Benji now?"

"Yes, at his house, he said that in your situation, it is very likely that someone will possess your body. That's why the red ability doesn't belong to you."

This is very similar to Xi Siling's guess.

"Yes, before I passed out I suddenly understood what 'anger' meant when you asked the world consciousness a question. I always thought it was my own emotion, but maybe 'anger' refers to someone else."

This guy, referred to as "anger" by the world consciousness, has been hiding his special abilities since he was a child, and has been waiting for the right opportunity to take over his body.

At the same time, Xi Siling also had similar doubts as Liuhuaqi.

Why didn’t I encounter this problem in my previous life?

"40, are you awake? How do you feel?"

77's voice temporarily interrupted Xi Siling's thoughts. The only light in the room was the moonlight coming in from the window. Xi Siling could only vaguely see 77's bright eyes, which were full of worry.

"Sorry, 77, for making you worry. I feel fine now."

Seeing that Pepe was still asleep, Xi Siling lowered her voice.

Liu Huaqi breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Xi Siling didn't know how to respond, but heard 77 repeat it again.

"That's good."

The young man's heart seemed to be gripped tightly by something.

He probably frightened his friends.

"I..."

"Sleep a little longer, 40. We are here with Mr. Cui. When it's daybreak, we will go back to the secret document together and check you again."

Liu Huaqi also didn't want to tell Xi Siling that their and Cui Benji's conclusions were mostly guesses, causing him to worry in vain.

With 40's personality, he would probably blame himself for attacking them unintentionally.

Xi Siling hesitated to speak, but finally nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Liuhuacui smiled, which was usually what Siling did when he was comforting others.

So Liuhuaqi sat back down, closed his eyes and pretended to continue resting.

Xi Siling slept for a long time, but he was not sleepy at all. He looked out the window and could see the crescent moon while lying down.

So he continued to discuss with the system in his mind.

"Should I continue? Cui Benji's conclusion is very similar to what you said!"

"you say."

"Let's say the supernatural power fluctuation in your right eye belongs to someone else, and that person used a power similar to that of possessing another's body on you, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity to possess that body."

Although it might be an over-association, when Xi Siling looked at his right eye in the mirror alone, he did feel that it did not belong to him, but more like a stranger.

"What do you want?"

All actions should have a "motive". What is the reason why that person wants to take over my body?

The system couldn't figure it out either, so he could only say, "How about I ask the world consciousness again?"

But Xi Siling guessed that he would not be able to ask the answer, as world consciousness was simply a riddle.

"You can ask this question. Just ask: What other name does the person who took over my body have besides 'Angry'?"

The system nodded and said, "You should have a good rest. I will go and ask."

The world fell silent again, but Xi Siling could sense that Liuhuaqi's breathing was not that of sleep.

For Xi Siling, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

——

The next day, Xi Siling walked out of the room and went downstairs to say hello to Cui Benji.

"Student Xi Siling, you finally woke up. How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Cui Benji smiled cheerfully. What he was most worried about was that Xi Siling would have been possessed by another spirit when he woke up. However, it seemed that the situation was much better than he thought.

"I'm sorry to have worried you, Mr. Cui. I'm Xi Siling, and I'm glad to meet you."

Xi Siling greeted politely and bowed.

"No, no, sit down and have breakfast, then we'll go back to the secret text."

Before leaving the room, Lin Zhipei and Liu Huaqi briefly told him what happened, but concealed the "conclusion" part. They only said that they would return to the secret text again, and Cui Benji would go with them.

"Okay, thank you."

After a simple breakfast, when Cui Benji's eldest son went to prepare the car, Cui Benji, leaning on his crutches, pointed at Xi Siling's right eye.

"Can I see your right eye?"

Xi Siling was still wearing colored contact lenses to cover the redness in her right eye.

He nodded, took out a wet wipe and wiped his hands before removing it.

Cui Benji looked at those beautiful red eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but he quickly nodded to indicate that it was okay.

After Xi Siling put on her contact lenses again, Cui Benji asked, "When was the first time you discovered that your eyes would turn red when you were angry?"

This question... To be honest, in his previous life, he didn't even realize that his eyes could change color until he died.

After all, he is a man of calm disposition, who tries to be kind to others as much as possible and does not get angry with others easily.

It's just that bastard Zi Yi Yue Yi...

"It was probably when I was in the first year of Secret Literature."

Xi Siling pushed the time of discovery back a little from the time when she met Liu Huaqi, that is, when she treated Zi Yiri several times and was "shocked" by his reaction.

"So late?" Cui Benji was a little surprised. After all, such an obvious change would remind others even if Xi Siling couldn't see his eyes.

The young man waved his hands embarrassedly, "I'm not really angry... maybe that's the problem."

Lin Zhipei nodded in agreement, "40 has a really good temper. We just discovered this after all these years."

Xi Siling probably only gets angry a few times throughout the year.

Cui Benji smiled cheerfully, "Very good, very good, then let's go."

Naturally, Xi Chao was told in advance about replying to the secret letter.

He also didn't expect that Teacher Cui would suddenly come back to Miwen because of Xi Siling's matter. He was very happy to see his mentor, but Xi Siling's condition didn't seem to be very good.

"Anyway, let's take a picture of this kid first, the one with the fluctuating supernatural powers."

It didn't take long for the film to come out.

This time, even without the need for Teacher Xi Chao's explanation, the three people who had seen the previous film knew what it meant.

The red supernatural power spread obviously.

It spread from Si Ling's right eye and its surrounding area to the neck.

"It's really not optimistic..." Cui Benji gave such an evaluation and put the movie down.

Lin Zhipei used so much force with one hand that she almost created wrinkles on the piece.

"If this red power spreads... all over the body..."

Does that mean that the guy behind the conspiracy is about to succeed and take over Xi Siling's body?

Just thinking about this possibility, Lin Zhipei felt suffocated!

"There must be a way to stop the spread of supernatural powers!"

"Yes, there is." Xi Chao said seriously, "After using that item, students in the department will temporarily be unable to use their supernatural powers."

To curb the spread of supernatural powers, that would of course include suppressing Xi Siling's own supernatural powers as well.

But it is obvious that this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Does this mean that Xi Siling can only curb that guy's conspiracy in this way?

But wouldn't Si Ling become the same as an ordinary person, unable to use her supernatural powers anymore?

Not to mention letting Lin Zipei and Liu Huaqi choose, even if Si Ling chose himself, he would never be willing to do so.

"Okay, it's not that bad yet. You three can go out and sit for a while. Xi Chao and I will discuss it." Cui Benji did not directly sentence Xi Siling to death.

So the three of them walked out with heavy hearts.

"40."

“40!”

"77, Pepe..."

The three of them looked at each other, spoke at the same time, and then shut up at the same time.

In the end, it was Xi Siling who couldn't help but burst out in laughter.

Lin Zhipei was both angry and amused, "You're still laughing!"

Liuhuaqi's originally heavy mood was interrupted by this, and he sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I know what you want to tell me." Xi Siling decided to seize the opportunity, "But I won't give up, not only because I am unwilling, but we have all promised Mr. Yigong, so I am unwilling to do so anyway."

Should I live a miserable life or work hard to do what I have to do.

The ancestors of the psychics had actually given the correct answer long ago.

Lin Cipei and Liu Huaqi both looked at him, the former with her hands on her hips and the latter just looking at him quietly.

"You don't know what we are going to say!"

Xi Siling is their most important friend. How could they not guess Xi Siling's choice?

"At least this time, Pepe is right."

Liu Huaqi nodded in agreement.

"No matter what happens..." the two said almost in unison, "We are all by your side! 40!"
