The New Neighbor Text Chapter 026



026

Meng Li lives in the East District.

Qin Chi was not familiar with the Southeast Base, so he set up the navigation according to the address provided by Xu Qiao and set off immediately.

At one o'clock in the morning, the entire Second Ring Road was silent, with only rows of dim street lights standing quietly in the streets and alleys like guards on duty.

Only then did Xu Qiao have time to think about Meng Li's phone call.

Mother is seriously ill.

There are both hospitals and large and small private clinics in the East District. Meng Li is definitely not the type to bother her teammates to travel long distances in the middle of the night just to save the cost of a treatment. So her willingness to stay close and seek far away must be related to her mother's condition.

On the surface, Xu Qiao was just a C-level therapist, and her medical skills were no better than those of other therapists. Meng Li didn't seek her out because of her medical skills.

Because of privacy? Meng Li's mother has a disease that is not suitable for other therapists to know?

With the direction, Xu Qiao calmed down and looked at the neighbor who was driving: "Did Meng Li say anything when she contacted you?"

Qin Chi: "She only asked me if I could contact you. When I said yes, she stopped. Communication."

Xu Qiao: "I heard that she seems to be in a mess. She may not have time to explain, but she said that she needs your help. Even if you don't send me, I will have to trouble you tonight."

Qin Chi looked at it . Looking at her, he smiled and said: "We are teammates, so you don't have to be so polite."

Xu Qiao responded: "Okay, teammate Qin."

The road was empty and the car was going very fast. Half an hour later, the black car almost crossed the entire second ring road. , came from the West District to the East District.

After approaching the destination, Qin Chi began to slow down.

Xu Qiao, who had been observing the environment outside the car, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The Meng family actually lived in a villa area.

The villas here are not as luxurious as those in the central area. The three- and four-story villa buildings are densely built, similar to the board buildings in Ping'an Community, except that there is a small courtyard in the front and back, and the roads in the community are wider. As the car drove, a large playground passed by.

There is a low mountain with a height of tens of meters in the north of the villa area. It is a rare public scenic spot in the Second Ring Road. The plants in the area are cared for by specialized planters. Residents can come and climb the mountain to enjoy the scenery.

Meng Li did not tell Xu Qiao the specific building number, but asked them to go to the back mountain to find her.

A few minutes later, Qin Chi parked the car at the foot of the mountain. When he put the car away, he glanced at the darkened street lights and surveillance cameras diagonally across the street, and said to Xu Qiao: "There is a problem with the circuit here, maybe it's man-made."

Xu Qiao understood what he meant . Meaning, take the initiative to stand next to him, and then look towards the mountain covered with tree shadows.

Somewhere in the mountains, a cloud-like red flame suddenly appeared on the treetops, floating low in the sky like a sign for about ten seconds.

It's Meng Li's secret code.

Qin Chi: "Walk over there, or should I take you?"

Xu Qiao: "Take me, I don't know what's going on with her."

It's like an emergency in the middle of the night. The sooner the therapist arrives, the better.

Qin Chi hummed and stretched out his right arm towards her: "Hold on tight."

During the last mission, the A-level female lizard suddenly appeared, and Xu Qiao was led by Qin Chi Yufeng to fly over once. However, the situation was urgent at that time, and Qin Chi He hugged her directly and changed places almost instantly. Xu Qiao didn't even have time to feel the feeling of flying in the wind or even observe the female lizard. When he realized it, he was already standing on the ground.

Fortunately, Xu Qiao usually likes to browse forums and watch TV series to watch videos related to various superpowers. He has seen how wind superpowers can fly with their companions.

Holding hands and hugging are common. If the power is strong and used skillfully enough, the wind power user can make the companion fly alone without even touching it. Qin Chi also did this last time with Sun Fushan, Meng Li took him away from the female lizard's attack range.

Taking into account Xu Qiao's possible fear due to her inexperience, Qin Chi thoughtfully provided her with an arm to support her.

Xu Qiao really needed to adapt, so he held his teammate's wrist tightly.

Qin Chi didn't exert any force, but Xu Qiao held on tightly, so he felt his teammate's ready-to-go forearm muscles and the hard bones inside.

Xu Qiao waited nervously without paying much attention to the touch under his palm.

A ball of wind suddenly rose from her feet, gathering momentum like an aircraft taking off the ground. The next second, the ball of wind lifted Xu Qiao's feet.

The unfamiliar feeling of volley made Xu Qiao subconsciously use both hands to grab the person next to him.

Qin Chi supported her with his right hand, and held the other wrist she grabbed with his left hand. Feeling the trembling of her arms and the instinct that she might pounce at any time, he asked in a low voice: "Should I give you time to adapt now, or should I go first?" Looking for Meng Li, can we practice again when we have time?"

The night was hazy, and Xu Qiao, who couldn't control his trembling, felt his face heating up, and lowered his eyelashes and said, "Let's talk about it later."

Qin Chi: "Then I will carry you over? "

Xu Qiao could only nod.

Qin Chi put his little teammate's shaking hands on his waist, then hugged her waist when she came closer, and flew towards the mountain without wasting a second.

The speed was so fast that Xu Qiao had no time to think about it. It probably didn't take more than a minute for the two of them to reach the sky where the flames had appeared.

There was no moon, but there was a dark red light floating underneath, much like the light and shadow cast by the screen in a dark cinema.

Xu Qiao shivered uncontrollably when he really saw the situation below.

In a mountain depression at their feet, a three-meter-long crimson fire scorpion's spiritual body was pressing down on another black giant scorpion of the same size. The fire scorpion's two pincers were clamped on the black The scorpion's pincer body and the fire scorpion's tail sting pressed heavily against the black scorpion's tail.

The black scorpion reluctantly tried to break free from its shackles. Its huge abdomen and other claws rubbed underneath, digging out a deep scorpion-shaped pit.

Xu Qiao's attention was completely attracted by the two scorpions, and he did not see the sudden change in Qin Chi's face above his head.

Meng Li leaned weakly against the tree trunk next to him, while Qin Chi landed with Xu Qiao.

Xu Qiao rushed to Meng Li's side and first cared about her condition: "How are you? Are you injured?"

Meng Li shook his head and looked at Qin Chi: "My mental strength can no longer hold on. Isn't that black scorpion... The strange beast, yes, is my mother. I hope you can control her and try not to hurt her."

Qin Chi: "I will try my best."

Meng Li looked at Xu Qiao who looked shocked again: "I don't. Knowing why she became like this, I don't dare to find another therapist, and I don't know if the therapist can cure her. I can only ask you to come over and give it a try."

Xu Qiao turned around and looked at the little girl under the Fire Scorpion's mental body . The physical black scorpion was no different from an alien beast. There was only a cold murderous intent in its huge yellow-brown beast eyes. No matter how she distinguished it, she could not see any human emotions. If there were any, they would only be scalp-numbing ones. Bloodlust.

Xu Qiao was only twenty years old. He had never heard of or experienced this kind of situation in person, either in his studies at the military academy or in his work experience in a clinic.

The spiritual body should exist in the mind of the superpower, and can be released according to the will of the superpower or on his own. Regardless of whether the superpower is released or not, the body of the superpower will not be affected and will always exist. Meng Li's mother, this is...

the top of the head Qin Chi's calm voice came: "I heard a professor say that a very small number of people with superpowers will be controlled by their spiritual bodies and develop animalistic characteristics. If the superpowers can be restored to their sanity, they may be able to restore their human bodies."

In a short period of time, it is difficult for a person to accept things or phenomena that are completely unfamiliar and cannot be understood with common sense. However, if someone can provide scientific arguments, including precedents that have already happened, the brain will recognize this new thing or phenomenon as "normal" , so as to concentrate on solving the problem.

Qin Chi's timely explanation made Xu Qiao calm down quickly. She held Meng Li's hand and solemnly said: "I will try my best."

Meng Li wanted to say thank you, but his mind suddenly hurt. The Fire Scorpion's mental body was already at the end of its strength. Finally unable to maintain his figure, he had no choice but to hide.

This is why Meng Li exposed more of his secrets to another teammate. Xu Qiao was just a therapist. If he came alone, he might die at the hands of his irrational mother.

Losing the restraint of the Fire Scorpion's spiritual body, the Black Scorpion suddenly climbed out of the pit, raised its pincers and attacked the three humans who blocked it from leaving.

Qin Chi stood in front of the two teammates, and invisible wind masses rolled into the black scorpion's claws and long tail respectively, trapping it firmly in place and unable to move.

A therapist who wants to heal a patient must either physically touch the patient's body or release the mental body.

The black scorpion could break away from the wind at any time and attack with poison. Xu Qiao stood cautiously behind Qin Chi. Eleven lotus petals appeared out of thin air and attached to the black scorpion's head, spine and long tail in sequence, forming a line.

Xu Qiao could feel the loss of mental power. This was the petals using their wood-type healing powers. However, three minutes had passed and there was no change in the black scorpion. It was still twisting its body ferociously to fight against the wind.

Xu Qiao used her mind to make the petals go all out. Anyway, her teammates could only see her healing effect and couldn't tell the level. If it was really cured, she could pretend to have tried her best.

The eleven petals worked very hard, and there was even a faint white halo around each petal, but it still didn't help.

Meng Li saw the fine sweat on Xu Qiao's forehead, and then looked at his mother who had turned into a ferocious black scorpion, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Is there really nothing we can do?

Qin Chi could easily control the black scorpion and even kill it, but he was powerless to "treat" it and could only observe rationally.

Xu Qiao couldn't care about them. No matter as a therapist or Meng Li's friend, she wanted to cure the patients in front of her.

She knows that healing works best with an intact spiritual body.

At this moment, the lotus in the mind also conveyed the emotion that it wanted to try.

There is no surveillance here, only Meng Li and Qin Chi.

Xu Qiao believed that Meng Li would help her keep the secret, just as she would not tell outsiders about Meng's mother's "animal transformation".

And Qin Chi...

Xu Qiao is willing to believe in his character and friendship with his teammates. Moreover, Qin Chi has never seen the first appearance of her mental body. The old men and aunts on the same floor will only mention her when chatting with him. The spiritual body is a lotus, so you don’t even know how many petals it has, right?

Xu Qiao was very sure that she had not shown her lotus in front of her neighbors. Lu Yang had seen it, but he would never mention such details to Qin Chi.

Before taking action, Xu Qiao turned back and looked at Meng Li.

Meng Li misunderstood and forced a smile: "It's okay..."

Before she could finish her words, her pupils opened slightly, and she saw a patch of green appearing behind Xu Qiao, with lotus leaves as round as an umbrella cover connected into one, turning the place where the black scorpion was into a A pond covered with lotus leaves.

Slender lotus stems protrude from the mist, and the layers of lotus leaves are scattered high and low, swaying with the wind of Qinchi.

In the dense green, Meng Li searched for a long time before he found the snow-white lotus. Only a corner was exposed, looming among the clusters of lotus leaves.

Meng Li was stunned, not only because of the overly gorgeous spiritual power of his teammates, but also because of the night scene of the lotus pond.

Qin Chi, who was standing in front of Xu Qiao, was directly submerged by the moist mist and waist-high lotus leaves.

As a person with fire powers, Qin Chi instinctively resisted the water mist, but he was sensible enough and did not move at all, only subconsciously looking for the lotus.

The fire dragon in his mind was more excited than ever before, and its golden-red scales tried to climb onto Qin Chi's wrist several times, but he was instantly suppressed.

The lotus flower that landed on the head of the black scorpion felt a little burning. He thought Meng Li was anxious to save his mother and wanted to release the fire scorpion, so he didn't explore it carefully.

Thirty-three petals of white and micro-powder lotus bloomed freely in front of the black scorpion, and the rich healing light group completely enveloped the three-meter-long scorpion body.

The black scorpion smelled the fresh fragrance of flowers, and the water mist that submerged it slowly penetrated the hard carapace on its body.

The tawny beast eyes gradually closed sleepily, as if trying to find a more comfortable place, the black scorpion tried to climb up a lotus leaf next to it.

But it's too big.

The black scorpion slowly shrank in size. Soon, a fist-sized black scorpion curled up among the round lotus leaves and fell asleep.

Xu Qiao walked into the lotus pond alone. When she passed through the layers of lotus leaves and came to the side of the lotus, she pushed aside the round leaves in front of her eyes and saw a woman with long curly hair lying on the ground. The woman's skin was pale and haggard, but she Incomparably beautiful woman.
