Chapter 19: Spirit Stone
I never expected that the snake would transform into Han Mi's appearance, continuing to deceive me into providing cheap protection and genuine feelings. I was too naive to believe the Spirit Snake's words, which ultimately led to Zhou Mengyao's demise.
Now, the Soul Stone has revealed itself as the Spirit Stone, possessing thoughts like a human and even enjoying flirting.
It absorbed my Deathly Aura, while I utilized its Spirit Energy, creating a mutual dependence that resulted in the Soul Stone.
We faced life and death together, yet at a critical moment, it faltered. How dare it ask me how I arrived! I snapped, "Damn you! You worthless piece of trash! You were off flirting just now, and here you are, making a fool of yourself. By the way, you don't have a mother; you just popped out of a big rock. Is it similar to that stone in Dream of the Red Chamber?"
"Master, being angry isn't good. We are connected; if you're upset, I can't be happy either."
"I think you're quite happy! With your big butt and ample chest, you go off flirting while I have to face that Deadbeat alone. Now you come back gloating, and I'm late!"
"Master, I wasn't like this before. After merging with you, I got to enjoy your deepest secrets and became curious about what humans like to do. I didn't expect you'd be so angry."
My deepest secret? How could it be like this!
"Don't deny it, Master. Every normal man has such secrets; they wish they could possess every woman they encounter, swapping brides and being newlyweds every night—how delightful!"
"Get lost! Stop rambling, you worthless piece of trash." I threw the bowl into the sink and crouched down, rummaging through my bag. Fatty said he wanted to smoke; where's my cigarette?
"Stop searching! Your buddy only mooches off others' cigarettes; why would he spend money on his own?" That’s true; the cigarettes I bought were always taken by Fat Yi.
"Master, I was just teasing you. Even if I'm not around, Li Gui would still see through your identity. So I was a bit mischievous out of curiosity about human relationships. Don't be mad; I'm coming right now..."
With a sudden sound from the stone, I felt a warmth on my forehead as a surge of heat entered through my Yintang point. My energy spiked dramatically before everything returned to normal.
"Wait a minute! About what you just said regarding men and women... did you..."
Stone chuckled, "I just went into a dream to have some fun, don't worry, I won't get them pregnant."
"Who did you mess with?"
"The nurses here are all stunning, one more beautiful than the other. I wanted to play with each of them, and even if I died, it would be worth it. But time's running out; I only had a little fun in a sleepy dream. I haven't had the chance to touch anyone else..."
"What do we do next?" Stone's antics left me dizzy. Plus, Li Gui was indeed formidable. Without Stone's help, I wouldn't stand a chance. There was no time to dwell on the details now; we needed to work together seriously to deal with Li Gui.
However, if even Grandpa couldn't handle Li Gui, then with my current abilities, I probably wouldn't be able to either. Thankfully, with Spirit Stone's assistance, I still had confidence for a fight.
"What else can we do? Start with your girl. She needs to trust you first; that way, you'll have a chance to get close to Li Gui, and then it'll be easier to deal with him."
"My girl? Who are you talking about?"
"Who else? The girl who's with Li Gui. Based on my guess, if you don't drive Li Gui away soon, she'll end up with someone else."
"She's not my girl, but she still needs saving."
"Oh, it's even better that she's not your girl. I'll go into the dream and tell her the truth."
"Don't even think about it! Chi Xinrong may not be my girlfriend, but she's a great friend of mine. If you dare lay a hand on her, I'll make you pay."
"Oh come on, making me pay? That's just you making yourself pay! Alright, no more jokes. I'm going into action right away; I promise not to let you down."
"Stone! Stone! Don't—"
Just as I was shouting, someone walked in and patted my shoulder. I jumped up and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
A tall, thin person wearing glasses approached, a look of shock on his face. His eyes behind the lenses widened like cow eyes as he asked, "What are you doing?"
I thought, Shanghai Person?
"I'm... just playing, is talking to myself not allowed? Who can't talk to themselves alone?" Damn, I didn't understand Shanghainese, so I could only retreat, trying to defend myself. This man from Shanghai looked completely bewildered, standing there with a blank expression, unable to grasp what was happening.
I escaped from the public restroom, and a voice echoed in my mind: "Crash... use as much force as you can to crash, and only when you catch Li Gui off guard can you succeed."
"Who are you?"
"I'm you."
Damn, what kind of nonsense is this? Just when I thought I had dealt with one problem, another confusing thing popped up. Ever since I went to Hell Gate, these bizarre events had been happening.
"Stop guessing; I'm your purest side."
Fine, the stone had peered into my darkest secrets and used them to do many things in reality that I dared not attempt. This voice in my head felt like some kind of system that popped up whenever I needed answers.
In fact, it was just me providing answers to my own questions.
Right!
Use the Soul Crash technique against Li Gui.
Just as I was thinking about this, a graceful figure walked by, moving like a willow swaying in the wind—a striking Nurse. Well, Nurse is just Nurse, but as I brushed past her, she suddenly stopped and fixed her alluring gaze on me. "I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."
"Me?" I pointed at myself and shook my head. "I don't know you."
The nurse furrowed her brow, deep in thought, and then suddenly blushed, waving her hands with a flustered expression. "I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else." Even after walking several steps away, she continued to mumble to herself, "Is it him or not? Something seems off about his figure."
This woman was probably just infatuated. I couldn't help but scoff, gaining a different perspective on the nurses in the hospital. These beautiful nurses clustered together had nothing better to do than talk about men. The men in the hospital were either doctors or patients, and they must have mistaken me for someone else because they were daydreaming about men.
It had to be that way. But as I walked a few more steps, I realized something was off. With so many nurses around, why did she single me out? The strange words she uttered seemed to suggest it wasn't just simple infatuation. Striding purposefully, I overlooked one thing: I was now overweight, not Ma Qi, so I had to mimic his way of walking.
As I adjusted my posture back to how I walked when I was heavier, I also kept an eye out for anyone watching me. Fortunately, I didn't run into any acquaintances here; no one would see through my act of pretending to be fat. Upon reaching Ward 23 or 24, I discovered that there was no one inside. When I asked the nurse on duty, she informed me that the patient had gone for an examination and hadn't returned yet.
I inquired about Chi Xinrong.
Some people didn't know her, while others had been with the patient all along.
Chi Xinrong seemed to be under some kind of spell—whether it was due to Li Gui's Evil Arts or some other reason, I didn't have time to think or speculate. Hearing Li Gui was in the room, I headed straight there without hesitation. As I approached the room marked by two large red characters, I saw Li Gui pretending to be in great pain and struggling as he slowly made his way toward the door with Chi Xinrong's assistance.
