Chapter 428 This book is now a posthumous work.
The pages of the book flipped wildly in the windless environment.
The rustling sound was unusually jarring in the silent space.
Tan Chi's eyes narrowed, realizing that something must have happened to Michele.
He immediately pushed open the office door and rushed to the military's simulation training room.
When Tan Chi arrived, Eli, Letekar, and Yuri were all in the simulation training room.
"Achi, will Mien be alright?"
Eli watched as Mien lay on the floor in the simulation training room, struggling violently.
He was like a holographic projection with a faulty signal reception; his expression flickered and distorted violently in place, as if he would disappear at any moment.
Yuri, standing to the side, looked nervously at Mien in the simulation training room.
He even regretted agreeing to let Mien come to this damn simulation training room.
Even if Mien and Michele share a body, at least Mien is still alive, but now...
He was starting to doubt Tan Chi.
What's even more infuriating now is that he has to choose to believe him, otherwise his Mien will truly be beyond saving.
“Michele’s consciousness is forcibly leaving; you should stay far away.”
Tan Chi's eyes darkened, and a powerful mental force surged forth, striking directly at Mi En.
He could clearly sense that within the black aura surrounding Mien, Michael's consciousness was like a will-o'-the-wisp trying to break free of its cage.
His strong desire to escape became almost the perfect point of separation for Tan Chi.
Tan Chi's spiritual power surged upwards, easily capturing the spiritual body belonging to Mikaela, and then suddenly pulled it outwards!
"Sizzle—" As if an invisible membrane was torn open, a semi-transparent spiritual entity was forcibly pulled out of Mien's body.
Mien's body stopped flickering and collapsed limply to the ground.
The spiritual entity belonging to Michele fluctuated violently in the air, and it looked like it was about to turn into a stream of light and escape.
"Trying to run? Too late!"
As soon as Tan Chi's cold voice fell, his vast spiritual power instantly formed a thick cage, trapping Mikaela's spiritual body in the center.
The moment the cage was formed, Michele seemed to finally realize that he had been tricked!
"It's you! You tricked me out of here on purpose! Damn it! Let me go!!" The mental cage was being violently pounded by him, making a dull "thump-thump" sound.
Tan Chi's eyes remained unmoved. Facing the crazed Michele, he did not hesitate and directly activated the mental cage to crush Michele's mental body.
"No—!!!" Michael let out a final, desperate roar before his spiritual body was instantly annihilated by the blinding light.
However, at the very moment that Michael's spiritual body completely dissipated, Tan Chi felt a sharp pain from the depths of his soul suddenly explode!
His vision was instantly swallowed by darkness, and the last thing he heard was Eli and Letecar's panicked cries...
...
It was unclear how much time had passed before Tan Chi regained consciousness.
He slowly opened his eyes, but what came into view was not the familiar bedroom dome, but an unfamiliar ceiling decorated with soft starlight wall lamps.
Tan Chi sat up abruptly, realizing that his sudden fainting must have terrified his wife.
He needs to go find Letekar immediately!
He was about to get out of bed when he realized that the hand pressing on the bed was only a tiny bit big.
Tan Chi: "???"
No? After he killed Michele, he crippled himself?
Tan Chi raised his hands and realized that they weren't crippled, but rather that they had shrunk.
These short, round, chubby hands don't look like they belong to someone as tall and handsome as him.
What's going on?
Tan Chi got up from the bed and realized that his pajamas were loose and baggy, clearly the size of a child.
He looked down again and saw that they were indeed small, white, and tender feet.
Those are clearly the feet of a five or six-year-old insect.
"Am I regressing to my ancestral form? Or is it a degeneration caused by overuse of mental energy?" Tan Chi considered several possibilities before sitting on the bed with a bitter and resentful expression.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside by an insect.
Tan Chi looked closely and realized it was a mechanical insect.
He was about to speak when he heard the mechanical insect ask in a measured tone, "Your Highness, you're awake. Would you like some breakfast prepared for you today?"
Tan Chi: "..."
This title...
Why does it feel so eerie?
Xiongzi...Your Highness?
Suppressing his suspicions, Tan Chi slowly asked, "Where is Letekar? Where did he go?"
The mechanical insect seemed to freeze in place. "Letekar? Wait a moment, the search has been initiated..."
Just as Tan Chi was about to ask him what he was searching for, the mechanical insect spoke again, "Your Highness, are you referring to the young master of the Lanetta family, Letekar?"
Young master?
Tan Chi: "???"
No, he just always felt that his brain wasn't working properly.
Tan Chi raised his hand to press his temples, and then nodded.
For some reason, the ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
“No insects from the Lanetta family have ever been allowed into the palace. If His Highness wishes to see him, he must send an invitation to the Lanetta family through proper channels, or have the insect servants notify the Lanetta family and have them bring their insects to pay their respects.”
The mechanical insect answered in the same rigid manner as before.
Tan Chi's head was about to explode.
Good heavens, an audience?!
His wife now needs to pay her respects to him when she comes to see him—no, that's very wrong!
Tan Chi looked around and many overlooked details instantly connected.
He tried to remain calm, but his voice was tense. "What time is it now? What year is it in the Ten Thousand Insect Calendar?"
"Your Highness, it is now the year 4025 of the Ten Thousand Insect Calendar."
4025?!
Sure enough! He didn't regress to his ancestral form; he traveled back to his childhood!
No wonder Letercar hasn't entered the palace yet; they don't even know each other...
He took a deep breath, clinging to the last shred of confirmation, and pressed on, "Does the Lanetta family... have a female insect named Michele?"
The mechanical insect paused again. "Upon investigation, there is no female insect named 'Michele' among the registered members of the Lanetta family."
"Alright, you can go now." Tan Chi waved his little hand.
Once the mechanical insect left, he immediately closed his eyes and focused his mind, beginning to use his mental energy to sense his space.
Fortunately, the space is still there.
His consciousness immediately sank into it, finding the novel stored in the space.
For some reason, this novel seems much older than before, and the cover has obviously changed.
Where the author's name was originally written, two glaring dark red characters were suddenly added: "[Posthumous Work]".
It seems that Michele is really dead.
This book is now a posthumous work.
Does that mean this book can no longer be used?
Tan Chi tried writing a few lines on it, and sure enough, the book became just like ordinary paper, losing all its strange functions.
But... how is he supposed to get back now?
