"Your brain was nearly turned into mush by that special frequency of electron resonance, did you know that?"
Xia Chujian said weakly, "...Auntie also said it was 'almost'...so it hasn't turned into a paste yet, right?"
Xia Yuanfang said, "Not much different."
"Chu Jian, tell me, has your body undergone any changes?"
"According to my data, you experienced such a strong electric shock, but you still have an ordinary body, so you shouldn't have survived."
"Unless you are a genetically evolved being, but you are not..."
Xia Chujian recalled the experience of Axuan with Jiarong grass that made her "die and live".
Sure enough, no matter what kind of suffering it is, as long as it doesn’t kill me, it will make me stronger!
Xia Chujian smiled slightly and began to put the blame on someone else: "Aunt, when I was on Green Star, I once encountered a field of Jiarong grass that could discharge electricity."
"I was almost electrocuted by that patch of Jiarong grass..."
"But later on, I managed to get through it."
"Since I'm not dead, my body's tolerance to electric charge should have increased accordingly."
Hearing about the "adventure" on Green Star, Huo Yushen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is your trump card. Don't tell anyone about it."
Xia Chujian nodded.
Xia Yuanfang glanced at Huo Yushen and said, "Inspector Huo, could you please not report this matter to the emperor?"
Huo Yushen said, "I promise that I will not tell anyone about anything that happened here today, including His Majesty the Emperor."
"If you break this oath, I will die without a burial place."
Xia Yuanfang hurriedly said, "You don't have to swear an oath. If you say you won't do it, then it won't happen. I believe you."
Xia Yuanfang stood up and said, "I'm going to prepare the medicine. Can you stay here with Chu Jian for a while?"
Huo Yushen agreed: "Go ahead, I still need to talk to you."
Xia Yuanfang knew that now was not the time to gossip.
She must immediately prepare a genetic drug suitable for Xia Chujian's brain recovery.
If it was any later, she was worried that even she would be helpless...
While Xia Yuanfang was preparing the medicine in her other study, Huo Yushen took out the remaining piece of Mi Jin Huang Quan and handed it to Xia Chujian, saying, "This is the remaining Mi Jin Huang Quan. I found a tool and cut off one-fifth of it. I have already sent it to His Majesty the Emperor."
Xia Chujian returned to a familiar place. Although her head still ached, it was no longer unbearable.
She tried to speak calmly, "I regret giving the Lost Abyss to that person."
She didn't even want to mention the word "emperor", and it was obvious that she hated the emperor to the core.
Huo Yushen, however, did not look surprised at all, nor did he criticize him in the slightest. He simply said, "It's okay. That small piece is also useless to the emperor."
"The most important thing now is that although your actions today dragged Eunuch Wang into this, you also got yourself into trouble."
"...Is it really necessary to do this? Eunuch Wang has made things difficult for you, but I will definitely avenge you. You don't need to..."
Xia Chujian interrupted him: "Huo Shuai, Eunuch Wang has made me like this, of course I want to take revenge with my own hands."
"I'm not used to pushing my own problems onto others."
Huo Yushen said: "You are my subordinate. You have been hurt. It is only natural for me to seek justice for you."
Xia Chujian's haggard face looked like a dead person's, with an unhealthy sallowness in the paleness.
She raised her eyes to look at Huo Yushen and said coldly, "What if it was the dog emperor who hurt me?"
Will you seek justice for me too?
Xia Chu didn't say a word after seeing him, but her words "dog emperor" showed her attitude.
Huo Yushen also understood what she meant immediately.
He was silent for a while, then slowly said, "I will do everything in my power to prevent that person... from hurting you."
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "See, this is our difference."
"So no matter who hurts me, I will take revenge on my own, not through other people's hands."
Huo Yushen didn't say anything else and put a plastic bag in Xia Chujian's hand.
It contains four-fifths of the Maze of Yellow Springs.
Xia Chujian wanted to hold it, but her fingers didn't move.
It was as if her brain had lost control of her body.
She told herself to hold the small plastic bag tightly, but her fingers seemed to have self-awareness and refused to listen to her commands. They remained spread out and unable to hold on tightly.
Xia Chujian took a deep breath and kept telling himself: Hold tight, hold tight, hold tight...
However, her outstretched fingers were trembling slightly, and she still couldn't hold the small plastic bag.
Huo Yushen's pupils shrank sharply, and he felt uncomfortable somewhere in his heart.
Xia Chujian can't even control her fingers. Can her brain recover?
When Huo Yushen thought of Wang Nei Shi who had been taken to the Special Security Bureau headquarters, his eyes turned cold.
His voice seemed to have returned to the absolute zero state, which was colder than ten thousand years of ice.
Huo Yushen asked, "Why did Eunuch Wang do this to you? Do you have any clues?"
Xia Chujian also said coldly: "A perverted mentality is incomprehensible to normal people."
Huo Yushen said, "Do you think it's just his fault? Doesn't he have any other support behind him?"
Xia Chujian said lightly: "Is there? Maybe..."
Her tone was slightly sarcastic as she continued, "Even if he's just a pervert who enjoys torturing a certain group of people, do you still want me to understand the deeper reasons behind his actions and empathize with his unfortunate childhood?"
The mainstream media of the Beichen Empire often has a practice of extensively reporting on the "tragic and unfortunate" childhood of the suspects on the Star Network after certain vicious cases occur, as if all evil is caused by an unfortunate childhood.
But they have never thought that among so many people who have unfortunate childhoods, how many of them grow up to become perverted killers?
Why doesn't anyone sympathize with the innocent victims?
Xia Chujian was full of complaints and couldn't help complaining to Huo Yushen.
