Chapter 168 Your Ancestors, Your King!
After Yu Cang rang the bell, a doctor came rushing over, but as soon as he entered the door, the cold air that hit him in the face made his face change.
He immediately ran over and pulled out the IV bottle.
Click!
The IV tube was now densely packed with frost. After the doctor pulled out the needle, there was a crisp sound and the tube broke on the spot.
"How could this be..." The doctor's expression changed, and he immediately took out his personal terminal and told his teacher about Gu Jieshuang's condition. "...Yes, that's right... The patient's temperature has been dropping...Okay, I'll get ready."
After hanging up the personal terminal, the doctor called a few nurses, and the group pushed the bed away.
Seeing this, Yu Cang hurriedly picked up Qi'er and followed closely.
"Weeping Girl." Yu Cang said on the way, "Can you sense that Gu Jieshuang's consciousness was summoned away by some existence?"
"I'm sorry, master. I can't sense this." The weeping girl's tone seemed a little guilty.
"Is there any way for us to go with them... or just know the approximate location where we are being summoned!" Yu Cang's eyes became increasingly gloomy.
call?
Don't let me know who you are.
Otherwise, just wait to experience the feeling of being blocked at the gate of a country!
Now, if he wants to, he can still get a few national guardians to help him... Although he may owe favors, he can make up for it with results in the future!
However, the Weeping Girl carefully sensed for a moment and shook her head: "No... I can only sense that the summoning channel still exists on the hostess, but to pass through the channel, an unknown condition is required, and I don't have this condition..."
The Weeping Girl is a conscious being, and she can easily sense any manipulation targeting her consciousness, but there is no way to detect any deeper manipulation.
"Unknown conditions?" Yu Cang frowned.
What could the conditions be…could it be mixed blood?
Thinking of this, Yu Cang took out his personal terminal and opened Ren Zheng's chat interface.
The Ancient Capital Central Hospital is within Ren Zheng’s scope of activities, so we can ask him for help.
Not long after, the doctor pushed Gu Jieshuang into a separate small room. His teacher had also arrived. After giving Gu Jieshuang a few injections of medicine, he activated the totem formation next to him.
Yu Cang stood outside the room, looking at Gu Jieshuang through the glass.
It can be seen from the instruments outside that the temperature in the room is rising.
Gu Jieshuang had also mentioned these to him - there is no good way to treat Gu's hypothermia now. Apart from some medicines that only treat the symptoms and not the root cause, the only way is to simply and crudely raise the temperature.
Seeing that the doctor's teacher had finished his work and stood aside, Yu Cang walked up and told him that Gu Jieshuang's consciousness had been summoned away.
"Is there such a thing?" The doctor frowned. "...I don't understand matters related to consciousness, and there's no doctor in the hospital who specializes in this... But I just examined the patient, and her symptoms don't seem to be caused by an uncontrolled blood conflict. The concentration of her mixed blood is constantly decreasing, as if it's being drained away by something."
"Drain it?" Yu Cang asked hurriedly, "What will be the consequences? ...If the blood of the spirit beast is drained, will Jie Shuang become a normal person?"
"No, this blood is part of the patient. Forcibly extracting it will only..."
The doctor paused and didn't continue, but Yu Cang already understood what he meant.
"Is there any solution to this problem?"
"...Unfortunately, I can only treat it according to the treatment for Gu's hypothermia, which is more specific." The doctor shook his head, "There's nothing I can do..."
"……I see."
Yu Cang came to the glass window and clenched his fists.
"Chess."
"I'm here, brother." The girl's face was also full of worry.
"Can you sense the summoning channel on Jie Shuang's body?"
"Qi'er can't..."
Yu Cang nodded, not surprised by the result, so he said, "Weeping Girl, possess Qi'er and see if you can enter the summoning channel with the help of Qi'er's blood."
"Yes, master." The doll body of the weeping girl suddenly turned into soul card fragments and floated away.
Qi'er also knew that the matter was of great importance, so he was very obedient and gently closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his eyes had become much more mature.
Yu Cang picked her up so that she could see Jie Shuang clearly through the glass window.
The next second, Qi'er's eyes widened slightly: "Yes! Master, I saw that passage... I can enter this passage anytime now!"
Hearing this, Yu Cang nodded slightly.
Sure enough, this condition is mixed blood.
In Yujiang, Qier used the fusion of different veins, which means that she is also a mixed-blood, but... she is most likely a mixed-blood of human and wild beast.
But his expression still didn't completely relax: "Weeping Girl, after you go in, is there any way to pull me in too? Just like the dream space in Yujiang last time?"
"This..." The weeping girl shook her head, "No..."
The last dream space was created by the Weeping Girl, and she could pull people in at will, but now it is different. This summoning channel has set conditions, and outsiders cannot pass through.
At this time, Ye Lai, who had been silent all this time, spoke: "Master of this body, I can do it."
Yu Cang turned his head: "How to do it?"
"Once I pass through the channel, I can use the connection between us to pull your consciousness to my side."
Hearing this, the weeping girl opened her eyes wide: "No way... this can't be done, right?"
The method Ye Lai used was not difficult to understand. In the last dream space, Qi'er and Ye Lai had relied on their connection with Yu Cang to enter the dream space of the weeping girl.
But... it is easy for a soul card master to summon a soul card to his side, but what Ye said is equivalent to the soul card summoning the soul card master!
Isn’t this the opposite of what you want?
Ye Lai shook his head: "The owner of this body is special."
Because Ye Lai’s real name was given by Yu Cang!
The connection of the real name is not exactly the same as the connection between the soul card and the soul card master. As long as the recipient of the real name is strong enough, reverse summoning can be achieved.
Of course, there might be similar means in the soul card, like the mustard seed flying Gu, but the situation is urgent now, and there is not enough time for Yu Cang to print the card.
The weeping girl continued, "Then how did you get through the passage... Oh, I see."
Just do it this time the same way Qi'er beat me last time.
Yu Cang nodded: "Let's do it!"
The doctor next to him blinked, still not understanding what was happening.
"Wait, you mean you want to go over there?" He said quickly, "But it's very dangerous. The situation is unknown right now. What if you can't come back..."
"It's okay." Yu Cang said calmly, "Someone named Gu Zhihan will come to see us later. She is a relative of the patient. If we haven't come out by then, she will help."
Gu Zhihan gave him such a strong sense of security that Yu Cang was willing to believe him.
What's more, there is no other way now... Only mixed-bloods can pass through this passage, and even Ren Zheng has no way to do it.
After learning that Gu Jieshuang was summoned by some existence, he told Ren Zheng about Gu Jieshuang's situation and his own guesses, but Ren Zheng also said that he had never heard of such a situation and it was difficult for him to draw a conclusion without seeing it with his own eyes. However, he did not do much research on summoning channels and consciousness bodies, so there was probably nothing he could do.
Now, Ren Zheng is on his way quickly, but Gu Jieshuang's condition is already very critical. The process of blood being extracted is irreversible. Any slight mistake may leave terrible sequelae.
There is no time to hesitate... Even if it can delay for a while, at least it must be delayed until Gu Zhihan and Ren Zheng arrive!
Thinking of this, Yu Cang said: "Weeping Girl, activate the alien vein fusion!"
"Qier" nodded, his eyes full of seriousness.
She raised her hand, and a spell card flew out of Yu Cang's card box and was activated in mid-air.
A vortex spread out around the girl, and Ye Lai flew into it. After the light disappeared, Qi'er in the form of a dragon girl appeared.
Now, this form is not simple. With the Weeping Girl's combat awareness, Ye Lai's strength, and Qi'er's own card-banning ability, Dragon Girl Qi'er may already be the most powerful fighter under Yu Cang.
In fact, because of Qi'er's special nature, this state does not put much mental pressure on Yu Cang... The disadvantage is that Qi'er is a banned card and cannot participate in the competition.
Although the Weeping Girl does not like fighting and killing, she is, after all, the main card banner who came from abroad to China and absorbed a lot of emotions and memories of other soul card masters. Her combat experience is undoubtedly terrifying, and she is a leader among the legendary level.
Although Ye Lai's battle time will be longer in comparison, firstly, Ye Lai does not have much experience in using the human body. Secondly, the fusion of different veins is to allow a soul card to merge with the user. The leader of this process must be Qi'er, the user, and Ye Lai has no way to intervene.
In short, Dragon Girl Qier's strength has reached the epic peak, and she can even deal with some legendary figures who are not very powerful for a while.
Of course, in the current situation, the most important thing is that this form can simultaneously pack the consciousness of the Weeping Girl, Ye Lai and Qi'er and send them to the other end of the passage, and then pull Yu Cang's consciousness over!
It can be said that in this process, none of the three people can be missing.
Long Nuqier's eyes fell on Gu Jieshuang. After a moment, her body trembled and her little head drooped to one side.
Yu Cang carried the dragon girl Qier to the bed beside him and made her lie down. Then he found a bed for himself and closed his eyes.
It wasn't long before he heard the night's call in his heart.
"Master of this body!"
"--I am here."
In the room.
The doctor and his teacher looked at each other.
Well… although they don’t know what happened, they should still treat the disease as usual.
…
at this time
In the void, in the blood
"Hmm?" A blurry figure's expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look somewhere unknown. "Another hybrid has been summoned? Let me see this time... Hmm? Why are there three? Wait—why is there another one?"
The figure was obviously stunned.
It stood there for a long time, still unable to figure out what was going on.
——Anyway, let’s bring them here first.
With a wave of his hand, the blood mist that filled the surroundings immediately dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the place.
wriggle.
There were wriggling blood-red flesh walls everywhere.
It is hard to tell where this place is. There is no sky or earth, no plants or rocks. All you see is flesh. At most, some places are darker in color, some are lighter in color.
It’s as if... this is inside the body of some living creature!
Circles of folds extended upward along the flesh wall, forming a circular passage that seemed to have no end. Countless bloody holes occasionally opened up on it, and it was unknown where they led to.
In those empty spaces without caves, countless human faces were arranged irregularly. These faces all looked very young, and each one had a great appearance, either a handsome man or a beautiful woman, but at this moment they all had their eyes closed, their faces filled with pain as they merged into the flesh wall, looking very creepy.
Around each human face, there is a huge outline, which seems to be some kind of strange beast.
After the blood mist dissipated, the appearance of the figure was revealed.
He was a middle-aged man with a face that looked as if it had been sculpted with a knife and an axe, with sharp edges and corners. He was obviously very handsome, but there was an unsettling feeling between his eyebrows.
He was wearing an elegant black ancient robe, with waist-length hair. At this moment, he had one hand behind his back and the other hand stretched forward.
He was holding a figure by the head in his palm. The other parts of the figure were blurry, but the face was very clear - wasn't it Gu Jieshuang?
Judging from the middle-aged man's actions, he was trying to press Gu Jieshuang's consciousness into this flesh wall!
"...Since we have a new guest, let's wait together."
The man threw it away casually, and Gu Jieshuang's consciousness was thrown aside.
After landing, the originally blurry part quickly became clear, and Gu Jieshuang's figure emerged from it.
She opened her eyes in some pain and said through gritted teeth, "Who... are you?"
The man's eyes moved downward, his expression remained calm, without any change.
"...My name is Yaoqi, and I am your king."
"Hehe..." Gu Jieshuang reluctantly sat up. "King? Do I need to tell you that no one in this land has called themselves that in two thousand years?"
Yaoqi's expression remained calm. He turned around and said, "It doesn't matter. My bloodline will recognize me."
Yaoqi walked into the flesh wall, and a cave opened automatically in front of him. He stepped in, and the cave was immediately sealed.
Gu Jieshuang stood up and looked around.
...So what the hell is this place?
She only remembered that she was lying on the bed, holding her boss's hand and falling asleep peacefully in the last second, and when she opened her eyes the next second, she came to such an uncomfortable place and met such an uncomfortable person.
here……
Gu Jieshuang looked around, and suddenly, a face on the wall opened its eyes. He stammered, "Quick...quickly, go...he's...sacrificing a hybrid...wanting to summon..."
Sudden!
Before the human face could finish its words, the outline around it suddenly seemed to come alive. After a while of squirming, a huge head rushed out from the flesh wall and swallowed the human face in one gulp!
The sound stopped abruptly.
This head seemed to be a huge snake head. After breaking out of the flesh wall, it continued to stretch forward and stretched its head next to Gu Jieshuang.
The size of this head was even bigger than Gu Jieshuang herself. It was spitting out tongue and getting closer. She could only keep backing away.
If it were any other time, she would have summoned the soul cards and started fighting, but this place was very strange. After coming here, her body became light and most of the soul cards could no longer be used. The only ones she could use were spell cards.
This greatly weakened her strength, and after the man named Yaoqi caught her, no one knew what he did. Now Gu Jieshuang couldn't even use spell cards!
What's more, she has already tried her best to stand up now, and she is unable to resist at all.
The huge snake head was approaching, and the hot air it exhaled had already blew on Gu Jieshuang's face. She retreated all the way until her back hit the flesh wall, and then she stopped.
There is no place to retreat.
Gu Jieshuang gritted her teeth.
Let’s fight!
She threw a punch that landed squarely on the side of the snake's face. If it had been delivered outside, this punch would have left a mark on a steel plate, but when it landed on the snake's head, nothing happened, not even a decent sound was made.
"...A lovely attack." The snakehead spoke in human language, "Don't meddle with other people, bastard... You should feel honored to be the sacrifice that awakens your ancestors."
After saying that, it turned its head and merged into the flesh wall, transforming into a huge outline.
The human face reappeared, but now, his eyes and mouth were wide open and empty, and he looked lifeless.
Gu Jieshuang took a few rapid breaths.
...Will I become like this too?
don't want!
The boss just accepted me... and I haven't paid off all the debt yet!
Gu Jieshuang began to look around, hoping to find a place to leave here, but to her disappointment, the lowest entrances leading to other places were located on the flesh wall three or four stories high. She was so weak now that she couldn't climb up at all.
...No, you have to try it to know.
Gu Jieshuang gritted his teeth, identified a low cave entrance, and began to climb up by pulling on the flesh wall.
As expected, she lost her balance and fell down before she had climbed a few meters.
Gu Jieshuang groaned, quickly stood up again, adjusted his breathing, and continued trying.
Occasionally, a hint of other emotions would flash across her determined eyes.
Is this... a dream? If so, please wake up quickly.
Also, boss... where are you... will you notice that something is wrong with me and come find me?
Probably... not.
…
Yu Cang opened his eyes.
Then he stood up suddenly and looked around vigilantly.
After seeing the specific environment clearly, he couldn't help but frown.
What kind of place is this? How can it be so disgusting...
A bloody channel with layers of wrinkles on it, which reminds people of the intestines of a living organism.
There was no light source here, but Yu Cang was only a consciousness now, and he didn't need light source to see things, so he could see the surrounding environment very clearly.
"Master." Dragon Girl Qi'er came to Yu Cang's side, her face serious. "I sense a vast array of emotions ahead... Most of them are accumulated resentments, along with some deeply hidden expectations and forbearance. Ahead... many people may be suffering."
Yu Cang: "Can you confirm the location?"
"Can."
"Can you sense Jie Shuang's presence among these emotions?"
"Hmm... there's a familiar feeling, but it's too far away, I'm not sure yet..."
"Then get closer first." Yu Cang said immediately, "Lead the way."
"Yes, Master."
On the way, Yu Cang tried to activate his soul card.
It turned out that only spell cards or field cards could be activated here. Although other soul cards were still connected, they had lost the possibility of being used.
……wrong.
Not all other soul cards are unusable. Dragon Girl Qier is an example - if she has her own personality and consciousness, she can still be used.
But now, the only three in Yu Cang's deck that have their own consciousness are the three in front of him, so even if he knew, it would be useless.
If I only use spell cards, my combat power doesn't seem to be very strong... Fortunately, with Dragon Girl Qier here, I can feel more at ease.
"Master, I need to return to the Forbidden Engine first," the Weeping Girl suddenly said. "If I don't return for too long, I'll go straight into death cooldown... Also, there's a lot of emotional power here, so I can absorb some of it if I return to the Forbidden Engine."
Yu Cang nodded: "Okay."
You can also lead the way in the forbidden engine, so it won't be a delay.
It doesn't feel good to run here, because the ground is also made of flesh and is constantly wriggling. If you are not careful, you will sprain your ankle.
However, Yu Cang's physical coordination ability is not bad, and Long Nuqier can even fly, so it actually doesn't have that big an impact.
As he ran all the way, Yu Cang felt more and more uneasy... The description of the weeping girl was a bit too scary. There was someone being tortured in front of him, which didn't sound like a good place.
Why on earth did this happen...
Yu Cang frowned slightly.
Gu Jieshuang was obviously fine before, and judging from her and Aunt Gu's reactions, no one else in Gujia Village should have encountered such a situation.
Why is it the defrost...
Moreover, this summoning should not be able to lock onto Jie Shuang out of thin air, there must be some medium.
Has she come into contact with anything strange recently...Liegong Ancient Cave?
Yes, the Liegong Ancient Tomb is a tomb from the time of Emperor Wu, and the time when the hybrids appeared also happened to be during the time of Emperor Wu... This should not be a coincidence.
Realizing this, Yu Cang quietly clenched his teeth and clenched his fists tightly.
...Tell Lei Wanqing about this when I get out.
There is so much resentment in front, which means that Gu Jieshuang is definitely not the only one who has been affected. There must be countless mixed-bloods who have been summoned here by this strange summoning channel!
However, they must have been treated as common colds, or simply diagnosed as blood conflicts.
After all, there are really too few people who study consciousness, and most of them are card banners. These people are either on wanted lists or in the treatment bureau, and will never appear in the hospital.
It’s the Liegong Ancient Cave, right… hehe.
Such a dangerous place should be eradicated directly!
Anyway, the thing that the ancient capital lacks the least is dangerous places like tombs!
