ah?
"No, no, no, don't do that! It hurts!"
Ji Yunding was leaning against the head of the bed, and when she was about to take action again, Lin Shu couldn't help but grabbed her wrist.
"Sister Lin Shu, this will never end." Ji Yunding looked at his wrist being held tightly, feeling a little helpless, "Well, I can do it by myself, you don't have to come and accompany me..."
"What are you talking about! Oh my God, what kind of life did you live before? Aren't you really from the same family as them?"
Lin Shu pointed at Ji Liuxing and Ji Changsheng who were standing next to him, and couldn't help but ask.
"No, my original surname wasn't Ji."
"Or was your last name Wei? Or... which other family was more perverted? Oh, yes..."
"So the Ji family is also abnormal?"
Ji Yunding was a little surprised. After all, among the group of people she had currently come into contact with, Ji Liuxing and Ji Changsheng were relatively close to the normal humans she had seen in her daily life before - comparatively speaking.
"Yes, Ji Changsheng's pain nerves were cut off by his family." Lin Shu glanced at Ji Changsheng and frowned, "They are notoriously cruel. Except for the people in the group, remember to stay away from them."
"It's not that bad. I remember it was very painful during the operation, but after that I didn't feel any pain anywhere. Isn't that convenient?"
Ji Changsheng spread his hands, looking nonchalant.
"It was just an experiment. However, several people who had their nerves cut off in the same batch as me died for various reasons because they didn't notice their injuries. The plan was also proven to have a high failure rate and was terminated."
"That's the scariest thing about this family. People from their family don't take what happens to them seriously..."
Lin Shu muttered, sighed, and changed the subject.
"Speaking of which, if your affinity is so high, awakening your psychic power will only give you three or four more points at most. There's really no need to work so hard. The same goes for the boss. How could you agree to something like this?"
The medical team could not be used casually. This kind of high-intensity treatment that was not approved as "training needs" had to be reported separately according to the procedures. Otherwise, according to the regulations, Ji Yunding could only be treated to the extent that he would not die.
Once the process is completed or the injuries are healed, the rookie competition will be almost over.
Lin Shu had originally breathed a sigh of relief, but then Ji Changsheng and Wei Qianqiu suggested that Ji Liuxing might be able to cure it - after all, his psychic powers were ridiculously strong - and Ji Liuxing actually agreed.
Ji Changsheng had already forgotten what the pain felt like and he just wanted to watch the fun; Wei Qianqiu simply wanted to support Ji Yunding's decision.
As for Ji Liuxing, he was really afraid that Ji Yunding would stab him without any protective measures in order to fulfill his oath - similar things were not unheard of in the records about the Black Oath Warlock.
"Sister Lin, if I keep thinking like this, then I can't really say I'm trying my best to become the strongest."
Ji Yunding frowned, but because he was young, he didn't look fierce.
This would break the oath. And according to Ji Liuxing, breaking the black oath would seem to be a very serious problem.
Obviously, Ji Liuxing also thought of this, he sighed, and said: "Lin Shu, you go out first."
"but……"
Lin Shu had just finished speaking when Wei Qianqiu pulled her up and tried to take her out by force.
Ji Yunding looked at Lin Shu's expression, feeling a little confused - although she seemed to want to hide it, he could clearly sense some abnormal fear.
Wei Qianqiu was a little worried that Ji Yunding might misunderstand, so he tried to explain: "Lin Shu couldn't stop herself from imagining that others died because of her fault."
Obsessive thoughts - thoughts, feelings or images of a past experience that come to mind uncontrollably and cause marked anxiety and worry. Even if the person realizes that the thoughts are unnecessary, they are unable to control their thoughts.
This time, it was Lin Shu who took the lead in persuading Ji Yunding to participate in the competition, which directly led to her feeling uncontrollable fear and the urge to stop Ji Yunding.
Finally, Wei Qianqiu and Ji Changsheng worked together to escort Lin Shu out.
Ji Yunding silently turned his head to look at Ji Liuxing and asked, "Team leader, do we have any seniors in our team who don't have mental illness?"
"That's a good question. Our team ranked last in both the average and median scores for last year's mental health test. In comparison, Lin Shu doesn't have any major problems and can control himself when on a mission."
Ji Liuxing had an expression that said, "You finally noticed this." He answered fluently. It was obvious that he had been asked this question more than once.
"If I have to say, people in our group generally think they are the most normal. If you also think this way, it means you have integrated well."
It doesn't mean that people who enter a group will go crazy, but people who are not abnormal generally cannot be assigned to a group - those who can deal with weird and high-intensity situations and still survive must have something different from normal people.
There are seniors everywhere who are good at fighting or have a good brain, but there are really few who are mentally healthy.
The biggest reason why a group is friendly to newcomers is that they don't really worry about not completing the task targets. No one will care if a newcomer is left alone for three or four years without any tasks - unless the newcomer is like Ji Yunding who performs a big job every few days.
Ji Yunding felt that it would be troublesome to continue to dwell on this issue, so he stabbed himself in the vitals first and ended the conversation.
The knife strike was so smooth and swift that it seemed as if he was chopping someone else, but then Ji Yunding glanced to the side and his men hesitated.
"Oh no, the floor..."
"Don't worry about the blood splattered on the floor. Someone will clean it up later. Focus now."
Ji Liuxing had already gotten used to Ji Yunding's paradoxical thinking logic even in a group. He pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, always paying attention to Ji Yunding's condition.
According to the inverse proportionality between affinity and psychic power, even if Ji Yunding's psychic power is awakened, it should not be enough to heal a wound of this severity.
However, the next second, Ji Liuxing saw blue light beginning to emerge from Ji Yunding's body, gradually overflowing until it enveloped her entire body like a pupa.
Ji Yunding was no longer conscious at this time. He was just trying to breathe and struggling to stay alive.
Death is really painful - the body gradually loses control, like a nightmare. The breath is pulled out from the brain to the lungs, and the internal organs seem to be tightly grasped and pulled inward. Soon, Ji Yunding felt the familiar anxiety that could not be suppressed.
Or rather, fear.
If she died, her life would end. Everything she could see, hear, smell, touch, etc. would disappear. For her, the world disappeared, and all its meanings were taken away, leaving only her.
...So lonely.
But soon, Ji Yunding felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring, and the pain in his body slowly eased. The wounds healed visibly, as if it was just a nightmare.
The energy surrounding her seemed to belong to her essentially, but it also seemed to be mixed with something that did not belong to her.
By the way, she had received such a gift related to life energy before.
After being able to breathe again, Ji Yunding sat up gasping for breath, wiped the sweat from his head, but found that his clothes were also soaked with sweat.
Death in reality is more than ten times more terrifying than death in dreams - the original dream was just a simulation of Ji Yunding's imagination, but the facts have proved that human imagination can hardly fully realize the horror of death.
Fortunately, Ji Yunding came to his senses and stopped being immersed in fear. Instead, he stretched out his hand and tried to wave it in the air.
Everyone's spiritual power is somewhat different, and is linked to various factors such as personal character, temperament, and health status.
Lin Shu's psychic energy occasionally looks like a dancing flame, with sparks popping out from time to time; Wei Qianqiu's psychic energy is slightly lower in temperature, and it can even be said to be a bit cold from a distance, but if you reach out and get close, it is warmer than normal psychic energy.
Ji Yunding's spiritual energy seemed very quiet and stable. At first glance, it looked like a calm pool of stagnant water, but after staring at it for a while, he didn't know where he could see and could only feel a slight undercurrent.
If I had to use one word to describe it, perhaps "quiet and profound" would be the most appropriate.
But now Ji Yunding looked up at the small piece of glowing blue, and he didn't know what level his spiritual power was.
"Team leader...Team leader?"
Ji Yunding turned around, but found that Ji Liuxing did not answer. He called him several times before he came to his senses.
"...Ji Yunding, have you ever gained any related talents from strange stories?"
Seeing Ji Yunding nodded, Ji Liuxing was obviously relieved, and then his tone returned to his usual relaxed state.
"At this level, I should be able to get eleven points. After that, I just need to prepare for the actual battle."
Ji Yunding didn't say anything, but just stared at Ji Liuxing, trying to find some clues from his expression.
Ji Liuxing smiled and tilted his head, looking back nonchalantly, as if he had done nothing just now.
"Team leader, you..."
"Nothing, because I am a narrow-minded person and I am worried that your talent is so great that you will break my historical record. If it is bestowed by the blood rain, I will feel more at ease."
Ji Liuxing made up lies faster than Ji Yunding could ask them, and he blurted them out without any pause.
"…He is a liar who can only speak sweet words to deceive people."
Ji Yunding was dissatisfied with Ji Liuxing's statement that he treated her as a fool, but she also felt that Ji Liuxing was determined not to give in.
"Okay. I swear, this matter will not have any objective impact on you, and it has nothing to do with you."
As he said that, Ji Liuxing stood up and walked to the door, opened it and shouted to the three people who were still arguing outside,
"Stop arguing. Classmate Ji Yunding has finished everything here and doesn't need my help. Come over and take a look."
Seeing Lin Shu coming over to hold Ji Yunding's hand with an expression as if he was about to cry, Ji Yunding felt that it would not be inappropriate if Ji Liuxing added something like "The operation was very successful".
In order to divert the attention of the people in front of him, Ji Yunding thought about it and actually remembered something he forgot to ask.
"By the way, before the competition, will there be any private sparring?" Ji Yunding took out a letter from his bag: "I received this provocative letter, saying that I should go to the training ground alone tomorrow afternoon."
"There are still people writing letters to challenge each other these days." Lin Shu took it while complaining, glanced at it, and then looked up at Ji Yunding, a little helpless, "What kind of provocative letter? It's a love letter."
