Chapter 81: When I Wake Up
Xiao Chen opened his eyes.
He felt a little weak in his body, and his vision seemed to be in a trance. So he had to close his eyes again and rest for a while, waiting for him to open his eyes again. Nina, who was lying beside him, coughed sharply a few times, like a drowning man, took two deep breaths, let out a low hiss, and then woke up as well. As she leaned over to prop herself up, droplets of water dripped from the tip of her nose, jaw, and hair, and it was sweat with a faint fishy smell. She was soaked in sweat all over her body, and even a puddle of water had accumulated on the floor beside her. Xiao Chen's process of transforming her meditative world is like a major operation, starting with the spirit, but eventually affecting the body, the huge and sudden metabolism makes her look thinner, and even her cheekbones are much more distinct.
She glanced inside the room and saw Xiao Chen who was watching her, and couldn't help but shudder, and then lowered her gaze.
Xiao Chen stood up, let go of his hands and feet, walked over and grabbed her arm, and helped her up. Nina cringed a little and wanted to stay away from Xiao Chen, but she couldn't stand Xiao Chen's strength, so he was hugged to the edge of the bed and sat down.
"Don't worry. Xiao Chen grabbed a cloth towel at the head of the bed and threw it to Nina. The latter failed to catch it, and in a bit of a panic, he picked up the cloth towel from the bed and slowly wiped the sweat from his face.
"Everything will be fine. Xiao Chen showed a smile, "You can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, now you have some abilities of a magic apprentice, and you are familiar with the few models I left in your meditation space." You'll be able to unleash some simple little magic. Even if you're limited by talent and don't have much room for development, that's a good thing, right?"
Nina looked at her hands, and a moment later, a small ball of light came out from between them, it flickered a few times, and burst like a soap bubble. But seeing this scene, her face also flashed with a little joy. Magic is so noble in this world, who can resist the temptation to release it?
"You see, I'm a man of words, and you just have to be quiet and fulfill our agreement. Xiao Chen said.
Nina looked at her hand again and nodded to Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen did not open the door to let the people waiting outside in, but stood in the corner of the room, observing Li Jia and Selinda's movements. The two of them were as calm as sculptures, without Nina's embarrassment at all.
"How are they?" asked Nina.
Xiao Chen also looked at them, he walked around the two of them with his chin in his hand and said, "It looks like it's still being treated, judging from the physical condition, everything should be normal." ”
But as soon as his words fell, Li Jia's face suddenly twitched, and then his eyebrows and eyes distorted. Xiao Chen hurriedly sat down next to Li Jia, activated the reconnaissance spirit magic, and swept Li Jia's body with his spiritual power.
"There is no abnormality in the body, but ...... His mental strength is declining!"
"Where's Miss?" asked Nina.
"Seems to be strengthening?"
In the meditation world, Selinda's body is much better than before, at least she can now use her arms to support her body, but Li Jia next to her has a sad face.
Selinda's body is like a bottomless pit, and Li Jia needs to spend a lot of mental strength to repair the collapse of her consciousness. However, the spiritual power carried by Li Jia's own consciousness was limited, and he felt more and more exhausted and powerless. If this continues, I'm afraid it won't be long before he loses control of his consciousness and sleeps in Selinda's meditation space.
"Li Jia! you look ...... It's not good, can you still hold on?" Selinda also noticed Li Jia's expression, "If you can't hold on, just stop." ”
"No, what I'm doing now is like untying a bunch of ropes. If you stop...... That's all the work done. Li Jia was already struggling when she said these words, "Moreover, if I return to my world and come back, I don't know if I can be so lucky to find you again!"
"But, I can feel that we're not even halfway there. I'm really worried about ......."
Li Jia shook her head to stop her words and said, "I still have a way." ”
He took out the small black pebble that the book spirit had given him from his pocket and squeezed it hard.
"What is this?" Selinda saw that the pebbles shattered into powder in an instant, but instead of scattering on the ground, the powder spun around where the stone had been. Turning around, the powder turned into a deep, black hollow, suspended in the air.
Then the whole meditation world shook, as if something was shaking the heavens and the earth, and it was about to rush in from the outside.
"I feel it. That's my subconscious spiritual power, they're coming!" Li Jia said.
With his voice, the void suddenly grew to the size of a bowl, and then countless black points of light with spiritual power poured out of it and rushed into Selinda's body.
In the other body, Li Jia's meditation space began to become illusory from the periphery. The rocks and tunnels turned into small black dots, and along the unknown path, they rushed out of Li Jia's world and entered Selinda's world. Only a faint shadow was left in the original position.
Li Jia watched Selinda's body slowly turn from illusion to substance, and her expression became much more relaxed. The spiritual power of the subconscious mind is the raw material for cultivating the spiritual power of spell casting, even if it loses some, it will affect the speed of cultivation at most, and it will slowly recover if it is consumed. What's more, the Book Spirit said that his subconscious power was far greater than that of the ancient Dream Tower magic apprentice.
As long as you can save Selinda, it's all worth it.
Xiao Chen was by Li Jia's side, with a solemn expression on his face. He has discovered the reason for the change in the strength of Li Jia and Selinda, and the essence here is to use Li Jia to use his spiritual power to fill the gap in Selinda. It's a different thing than treating Nina.
It's like he bandages a wounded person and arranges a ward, which consumes nothing more than normal physical strength. What Li Jia is doing is cutting her own blood vessels and giving direct blood transfusions to patients. No, maybe it's not appropriate to say that the blood transfusion is inappropriate, it's like cutting the wrist and making the other party drink blood!
Xiao Chen suddenly realized a problem, he and Li Jia's method of treating the patient was taught by Shu Ling in their respective meditation worlds. He did not communicate with Li Jia about the treatment plan for Selinda, and took it for granted that the other party used the same plan as his, but it was better to be treated by someone close to him. But now it seems that this is not the same thing at all!
Xiao Chen touched the "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll" that was still shining with his hand, and called the book spirit with his spiritual power, wanting to call him out and ask him well. However, as the minutes ticked by, he received no response. Could it be that Shuling is also trapped in Selinda's world? Or is there something wrong with "Knowing the Sea Shadow Scroll"? Thinking of this, Xiao Chen felt a little shuddered.
Looking at Li Jia again, in his field of vision of the spirit of detection, the ball of light representing Li Jia's spiritual power has become dimmer and dimmer, and the ball of light representing Selinda is more than twice as big as when she was well.
If this process is carried out to the end, Li Jia will only have one ending and become an idiot! His personality and memory will completely dissipate, in other words, the Li Jia that Xiao Chen knows will die. And Selinda, God knows what will happen to her!
Xiao Chen couldn't accept such a result, his face was ugly, and he stared at Selinda lying on the ground.
Shuling once said that if the plan failed, he would shatter Selinda's meditation world and let Li Jia's consciousness return to his body. But now that the book spirit is nowhere to be found, he can't help Li Jia do this, and he can't introduce Xiao Chen into their world to help. The only effective way to stop this in Xiao Chen's mind was to kill Selinda and completely end her meditation world.
Kill Selinda? Once this idea appeared, it roamed in Xiao Chen's mind like a demon, and kept popping up.
However, when he was faced with this choice, he found that his heart was so agitated.
A voice said in his head: This woman, peeping at our treasures, has put Li Jia in a desperate situation. Now is the time for her to make sacrifices, and Li Jia can't be allowed to bury her. Draw your sword, and a sword will kill her!
Another voice said, "No, you can't kill another person to save them." If we do this and violate the most basic principles of our life, where will our hearts go? Li Jia did everything to save this woman It is his own choice, he will never agree to you doing this, you will make all his efforts worthless!
The previous voice argued: Why let your best friend in this world die for such a thing? That woman is nothing to you! We even hate her! Kill her and rescue Li Jia! We don't have to be afraid of her father at all, just use magic and rifles to destroy these damned nobles.
The latter voice retorted: If Selinda is killed by our own hands, all the arrangements related to the Earl will be wasted, and this will even lead to war! The school cannot afford to fight the Earl now! This is a crazy idea!
......
"Lord Xiao Chen, what are you doing?" Nina's voice interrupted Xiao Chen's thoughts. When Xiao Chen came to his senses, he found that his hand had been pressed on the hilt of the sword.
Xiao Chen was a little puzzled, he could now recall all the arguments of the two consciousnesses just now, and he could also understand the logic of those thoughts just now, but at this time, he didn't have any urge to draw his sword and kill people in his heart. What's going on?
"Nina, did I look strange just now?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Ahh I just watched you stand motionless, staring at the young lady as if I was enchanted. Nina said with some trepidation.
"Enchanted, did someone secretly influence me?" Xiao Chen thought thoughtfully.
