Chapter 85 Amnesia
Yu Che was closer and moved faster. He leaped in front of Lin Xingyan in two steps and quickly formed seals with his hands.
Lightning flashed at the fingertips, and several arcs of light shot out continuously, the lightning flashed like a snake, moving quickly in the air.
The arc light reached the boy's limbs and formed several hoops. The more he struggled, the brighter the electric light of the hoops became, temporarily restricting his movements.
Qiu Mowan immediately stepped forward to cooperate, waving out several sharp golden auras that overlapped with the hoop, strengthening the shackles.
In the last step, Lin Xingyan drew a circle with her fingers, and a cylindrical transparent water wall flew out, trapping the boy in the middle to prevent him from breaking free and hurting others.
Before Mu Feng and Li Luolan could even use their skills, the fight was over and the boy was subdued.
At this time, an alumnus finally reacted and called the school security team.
In less than five minutes, the school guards arrived and checked the situation. After learning that there were no casualties, the captain took out a magic weapon in the shape of a vajra bell and shook it gently.
"bite--"
A very penetrating sound wave spread out, containing a sleeping effect. The boy who was still screaming and struggling suddenly felt his knees weaken and he collapsed to the ground.
The captain breathed a sigh of relief, asked the team members present to take him back, and turned to thank Yu Che and his group solemnly:
"Thank you to several students for your help and for controlling the situation in a timely manner."
Everyone said you’re welcome.
Inside the school security office, the captain inquired in detail about the incident. As a senior, Mu Feng primarily explained the situation, with the others occasionally filling in any gaps.
Yu Che felt that this matter was not simple, so he asked, "Teacher, what is going on?"
The captain rubbed his forehead and said with a frown, "To be honest, this is the third similar incident that has occurred this week."
He took out a test tube from the safe, which contained a small ball of squirming gray-black energy.
"We painstakingly extracted this from the consciousness of the two previously out-of-control students." The captain said in a heavy tone, "This ghostly mass seems to be the key to controlling consciousness."
Yu Che's mind moved: "Can you show it to me?"
The captain hesitated slightly, but still handed the test tube over. Yu Che took the test tube and cautiously extended a ray of spiritual awareness to probe it.
After a moment, Yu Che's pupils constricted.
This aura was exactly the same as the aura of the group of people he had fought with in the Ghost Market before!
He instantly thought of many conspiracy theories, but on the surface he just frowned slightly.
His first reaction was that he couldn't tell all of this.
How could a freshman who had just started out fight with such an evil cultivator and survive?
If the investigation is thorough, it will not only bring trouble to itself, but also implicate Chu Yanxing and expose his relationship with the Ghost Market.
Although Chu Yanxing did not ask for confidentiality, Yu Che was well versed in the ways of the world and tried his best not to disappoint the other party's trust.
He calmly returned the test tube to the captain and expressed his concern appropriately: "Such evil energy. I hope the school can find out the truth as soon as possible."
"We will." The captain nodded seriously.
Lin Xingyan, who was standing nearby, took in every subtle change in Yu Che's expression and seemed to be lost in thought.
In the evening, Lin Xingyan returned to the flat he bought near the school and regained his male body.
He had just finished dinner and was sitting on the sofa doing work when Chu Yanxing's cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw "Yu Che" on it.
He raised his eyebrows and answered the phone: "Hello?"
On the other end of the phone, Yu Che explained what happened today.
When Chu Yanxing heard Yu Che talk about his discovery, he finally understood what his expression meant.
After Yu Che finished speaking, Chu Yanxing tapped the armrest of the sofa with his index finger and then talked about the collection process during this period.
"I've consulted a lot of ancient books on the runes before and found some clues that should be helpful to you."
Chu Yanxing spoke eloquently based on the information provided by his subordinates:
"This rune comes from a sect in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties called the Chen-Shi Cult. They have two types of runes, one for those inside the sect and one for those outside.
"Externally, it can control the marked person and absorb their energy; internally, it can transform the marked person's energy into different benefits through the holder's runes.
"However, the Chenshi Sect was wiped out within a hundred years. What you encountered might be the remnants of this sect."
Yu Che regretted not taking a closer look to see if there were any marks on the boy's body, but it was too late now. The boy would definitely be under the school's protection for a while, and it would be difficult for him to visit him without any reason.
In any case, Yu Che was very grateful for Chu Yanxing's help.
Chu Yanxing pondered for a moment, and then thought of another clue:
"I have been sending people to follow the five people in the Ghost Market. They have been frequently going in and out of an underground tavern called "Blues" recently.
"But my people went in and looked, and they didn't find anything special. It's either a coincidence or it's extremely well hidden."
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chu..." Yu Che's thought of "treating me a meal" flashed through his mind, but when he recalled the delicacies he had enjoyed at his house before, he was instantly speechless.
"I don't know what I can offer you in return, but if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
Chu Yanxing chuckled for some unknown reason, "No need to say more. I'll tell you if you need me to."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Che searched for "Blues Bar" and found that the location was more than 200 kilometers away from Huaxiu University. It was only a two-hour drive away, so he decided to go and check it out.
But before that, he needs to improve his own strength just in case.
Less than a week later, the National Day holiday arrived and all the roommates went home, leaving Che alone in the dormitory.
He took out a pile of clothes from the suitcase, and after peeling off the three layers inside and outside, he found the Qiankun Pearl from the Ghost Market.
The seal on its surface was already as thin as a cicada's wing. Yu Che used his spiritual power to gently poke it, and the Qiankun Pearl vibrated in his palm. As the energy waves from the broken seal spread, its appearance was completely renewed.
A deep, dark purple color flowed, and a chill filled the air. At this moment, anyone could see that this pearl was no ordinary object.
According to the secret memory of his previous life, Yu Che sat cross-legged on the bed, holding his breath and concentrating, trying to guide the evil energy in the Qiankun Pearl into his body.
Gradually, a pure evil energy was absorbed into the meridians. Yu Che saw the opportunity and practiced his skills, escorting the evil energy into the sea of consciousness, and then wrapped his own spiritual energy to refine it.
Everything went smoothly at first, and the spiritual energy firmly suppressed the rampant evil energy. However, soon, an accident happened.
Although Yu Che had read the secret technique, it was only theoretical. As more evil energy flowed in, the violent thunder spirit energy could no longer be contained, and the two forces engaged in a fierce clash within his sea of consciousness.
“Uhh—”
Yu Che's face was distorted and his head was splitting with pain.
He didn't expect that his own strong spiritual energy would have a counter-effect, and he underestimated the violence of the evil spirit. His fragile sea of consciousness became a battlefield of energy and was almost collapsed.
The last bit of consciousness left in Yu Che enabled him to grope for the phone next to him. His fingertips trembled and sweat stung his eyes. He squinted his eyes with difficulty to look at the screen and dialed Chu Yanxing's number.
“Beep…beep…beep…”
The ringback tone lasted for a few seconds, which felt like an eternity to Yu Che. Finally, a charming voice came from the other end:
"What's up?"
This sound was like the sound of nature. Yu Che used up his remaining strength and squeezed out a few words: "Dormitory... Save me..."
Before he could finish his words, the phone slipped from Yu Che's hand and everything went dark before his eyes.
…
Half an hour later, the sound of a huge engine gradually approached Huaxiu University.
A helicopter landed on the rooftop of a dormitory building. Before the rotors came to a complete stop, Chu Yanxing stepped out of the cabin, hurried down to Yu Che's floor, and opened the door.
The young man's face was pale, evil spirits raging, spiritual energy overflowing, his body like a sieve, two mutually repulsive forces colliding and shuttling. Beside him lay a bead of faint light.
Chu Yanxing's eyes flashed, and he immediately guessed what was going on.
In the original book, the absorption of the Qiankun Pearl was not smooth, but the person Yu Che sought help from was the beautiful medical practitioner who happened to pass by and save him when he fell from the building in the Ghost Market.
Now a large part of the story of the hero and heroine getting to know each other was ruined by Chu Yanxing's "Butterfly", and Yu Che's first choice became Chu Yanxing who knew the Qiankun Pearl.
Chu Yanxing supported Yu Che on the bed in his arms, placed his palm on his forehead, and used his spiritual energy to test his injuries.
The unconscious Yu Che felt the invasion of external forces and instinctively resisted. His body trembled and his face wrinkled.
Chu Yanxing saw the reaction of the person in his arms and immediately withdrew his spiritual energy. However, it had already touched the sea of consciousness that was overwhelmed. Yu Che's mouth moved and he let out intermittent groans of pain.
Chu Yanxing's heart was in his throat, he was in a dilemma and his hands and feet froze.
At this moment, Yu Che struggled, tilted his head slightly, and his nostrils flared, as if he smelled a familiar scent. His tense body relaxed slightly, releasing the confinement of his sea of consciousness.
Chu Yanxing was stunned for a moment, with no time to think about it, and immediately took the opportunity to explore Yu Che's sea of consciousness.
The inside was covered with scars, and the evil spirits were madly crashing into the sea of consciousness. The thunder spirit wanted to protect its master, but due to its overbearing nature, it kept causing accidental injuries.
Chu Yanxing directed the ice spiritual energy to penetrate into the evil energy, slowly freezing it, and then turning it into an icy water film, gently wrapping the inner wall of the sea of consciousness to prevent the disordered spiritual energy from causing secondary damage to the sea of consciousness.
This was just a temporary solution. After stabilizing his injuries, Chu Yanxing, with a cold face, picked up Yu Che and strode back to the top floor and boarded the helicopter.
"Go back to the villa in S City."
"Yes, young master."
When the helicopter descended again, it had arrived at the mansion that Yu Che had visited before.
The medical practitioner from last time was standing outside the building. When he saw Chu Yanxing coming with someone in his arms, his expression showed a moment of surprise. Then he came to his senses and quickly pushed open the door to let them in.
In the guest room, after a meticulous and painstaking treatment, the doctor's spiritual energy was almost exhausted. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Chu Yanxing who was standing next to him:
"Young Master, the patient's damaged meridians are no longer a problem, but his sea of consciousness is severely damaged, and his subconscious mind is extremely alert. I'm afraid that forceful intrusion will lead to more serious consequences."
Chu Yanxing frowned: "What should we do then?"
"For now, he can only rely on himself to recover, supplemented by a spiritual medicine soup that nourishes his sea of consciousness. If we want to cure him completely, we have to wait until he wakes up and actively releases the constraints on his sea of consciousness. Only then can we formulate an effective treatment plan."
Chu Yanxing then asked, "When will he wake up?"
The medical practitioner said solemnly, "Spiritual consciousness is the most complex and mysterious part of a cultivator. I dare not make any rash judgments. It all depends on the patient's recovery ability and willpower."
Now the doctor had done what he was supposed to do, and left after leaving the prescription and medical instructions.
Chu Yanxing sat at the head of the bed, looking at the uncomfortable face in front of him. A sense of bitterness lingered in his heart, like a wisp of mist, faint but present.
In the original book, after being treated by a beautiful medical practitioner, Yu Che woke up in two or three days without any sequelae. But now the time, place, and people had changed, and he couldn't guarantee that Yu Che would be safe.
The only thing that could penetrate into Yu Che's sea of consciousness without being rejected was Chu Yanxing's spiritual energy, but ice spiritual energy was not a suitable repairing attribute after all.
Chu Yanxing had no choice but to transform a wisp of icy spiritual energy into a mist, barely combing through the spiritual energy or evil energy that occasionally surged in Yu Che's body, to alleviate his pain.
Although the efficiency was extremely low, Chu Yanxing still did it without blinking.
Even though he had tried his best to suppress the chill, more and more icy spiritual energy entered his body, making him feel unavoidably cold. Yu Che instinctively shrank back.
He rubbed his pale cheek against the heat source beside him and tried to curl up in it, but the 1.8-meter-tall figure obviously couldn't do as he wished.
Chu Yanxing felt a warm sensation in his heart at the attitude of complete dependence. He adjusted his posture to make Yu Che lean more comfortably and continued to circulate his spiritual power.
The sorting process was really boring, and Chu Yanxing had just gotten out of his busy work.
Now sitting on the soft bed with his lover in his arms, his eyelids began to droop, and he lay down at the head of the bed with his feet on the carpet and fell asleep.
When Chu Yanxing regained consciousness, he raised his eyelids and the first thing he saw was an infinitely magnified human face.
At first, Chu Yanxing was shocked. After stepping back a little to observe, his brows couldn't help but frown, feeling that something was wrong.
Yu Che lay sprawled on the bed, head tilted back, staring intently at him. His expression seemed somewhat... confused?
Chu Yanxing felt a little depressed and tentatively called out, "Yu Che?"
Hearing this, Yu Che tilted his head, said nothing, his eyes still fixed on Chu Yanxing.
The two of them were in a stalemate for a few seconds, and Yu Che blinked.
This person smells good, is familiar, and I like him.
Yu Che's eyes lit up, he crawled two steps on the bed, buried his face in Chu Yanxing's chest, and placed his hands lightly on his waist.
