"It's nothing. Don't be nervous. All in all, just trust me like you trust Pangu. I'll take care of everything."
Li Yao said, "Think about it. Have you noticed anything weird recently?"
"Weird?"
Thangka thought for a moment and mumbled, "I think so!"
"Is that so?"
Li Yao grew excited. "What is it? Tell me everything!"
"During the day, the indifferent and pious monitor suddenly dragged me to a quiet supermarket, took off her clothes, and told me that she thought that the Ultimate Benevolence Masters were wrong."
Thangka said, "Then, at night, I had an absurd dream. In the dream, the monitor was being whipped in a red dress. While I was half asleep, some sticky, wet essence of life poured out. When I was at a loss, an extraterrestrial devil who claimed to be a good person crawled into my head. Aren't those things weird enough?"
"… Fine, kid. I know that you've been greatly shocked today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to crawl into your head so smoothly when your soul was at its weakest and most disordered."
Li Yao could only take it slow. "Let's take it slow. Whether or not there is a scheme behind the ultimate test, you have to learn to control your feelings and thoughts first and hide my existence. You must not let anybody notice anything unusual about you.
"I don't want you to play the hero. Really, before I arrived, I didn't know who I would attach myself to. If you were a burly, muscular man with a repulsive face, I might feel less guilty, and I could squeeze you to the fullest without feeling guilty. But for a fourteen-year-old boy like you … who just had his first wet dream tonight, I don't want to ruin your future.
"So, even if there's really a scheme, I don't want to force you to expose it. Changing, destroying, saving, and so on is too difficult. Indeed, it's too difficult. I only hope that the world around you won't change you, and that your logical thinking and emotional sensing abilities can always be maintained.
"Do you understand? If everything goes well, I'll be able to find a more suitable 'platform' to leave your body in three days. Of course, I won't forget to leave you a small gift, but everything has to be done prudently.
"Now, seal the gaps around your bed and raise your wrist crystal processor so that I can see it clearly. Then, relax your body and imagine that you are floating in a warm ocean. Every nerve and every cell in your body is unfolded slowly, and I'll take over everything …"
"What are you doing?"
Thangka buried herself deep in the bed and raised the wrist crystal processor in front of her face, asking curiously.
"Didn't you say that the chip that can monitor the changes of your biophysical index is embedded in it? I think that your biophysical index may change drastically in the next few days. Before you learn how to control the trembling of your nerve endings, the contraction of your muscles, and the secretion of your adrenaline, perhaps I can slightly adjust your wrist crystal processor and make it … a little more sluggish."
Li Yao explained.
Then, his soul was like a plant that was quickly taking root and sprouting. A vine that was splitting and entangling was flowing, spreading, and growing nonstop in the young man's limbs and veins.
"This is —"
Thangka bulged her eyes, finding it hard to believe her feelings. "Ten thousand bugs seem to be scurrying inside my body. It's so hot. No, it's so cold. Ah, it's so itchy!"
"I'm sorry, it's also my first time. I'm trying to figure out how to control your nerve endings and muscle fibers so that my soul and your body can be harmonized."
Li Yao was silent for a while before he continued, "Please, can you not make such weird sounds? Damn it, I really don't know whether it's more perverted to invade a man's body or more perverted to occupy a woman's body!"
"I — I'll try my best … Ah!"
Thangka couldn't help but groan. Her eyes were beaming with the brilliance of disbelief. He clearly didn't move, but his hands were controlled by an inexplicable force, making him jump lightly!
In the class, Thangka, as a member of the Metal Clan, was known for her extremely stable hands and the speed of her hands that were as fast as lightning. Other students would have to spend hours dismantling and assembling magical equipment, but in Thangka's hands, she could complete a full set of maintenance and repair work in half an hour at most.
But even when she was in the best state, Thangka had never seen her ten fingers jump so fast, so gracefully, and so precisely!
He felt that his ten fingers had turned into ten crisscrossing streaks of light, which then condensed into a silver ball of light. His eyes couldn't keep up with the jumping speed of his ten fingers at all. He could only see that the ball of light was constantly changing into all kinds of hand gestures and runes, and the afterimages it left behind were like flowers that were branded in the air and didn't disperse for a long time.
"This — this is too fast. It's unbelievable. It's even faster than the strongest instructor of the Metal Clan in the Holy Light Academy. Are these really my hands?"
Thangka was shocked!
"Aiya, the speed is too slow. It seems that your body has a certain repulsion to my soul, which slowed my speed by three to five times, seventy to eighty times. It's been a long time since I last repaired and modified my hand at such a low speed. I'm not used to it."
Li Yao complained.
"Huh?"
Thangka didn't know what to say. "Are — are you kidding me?"
"What kidding?"
While talking, Li Yao tapped on Thangka's portable crystal processor with his finger — at least in Thangka's eyes, his hand was' tapping '.
Then, the entire portable crystal processor fell apart without a sound!
Thangka's eyes were almost bulging out of their sockets. She was about to remind the mysterious and powerful 'Grandpa Yao' that their portable crystal processors were all installed with alarm systems. As long as there was any external damage, the system stopped functioning, or the physiological parameters such as breathing and heartbeat could not be sensed, the portable crystal processor, which had been dismantled into hundreds of components, was still covered by a soft and sticky force and was slowly revolving around his wrist. The system was still running!
It — it was a rarely-seen 'hot maintenance' technology, which meant that one could adjust and replace a certain component or upgrade a certain function of the magical equipment without affecting the normal functioning of the magical equipment. After the work was done, the performance of the magical equipment would greatly change without even needing to be rebooted.
One of the mentors of the Metal Clan in the academy once mentioned it to Thangka and the other students of the Metal Clan. However, the mentor also said that it was a rarely-seen technique and that such talents could only be awakened by the gods' favor.
But today, he had witnessed the toughness of such a 'marvelous technique' from an extraterrestrial devil!
"The Holy League's technology in certain fields is indeed much better than the Imperium's!"
While directing Thangka's right hand to dance among the hundreds of components, Li Yao studied them with great interest. "Even the portable crystal processors that are distributed to the underage students adopt very advanced primeval technologies, which boast a very high computational ability and a very long running time. In the Imperium, perhaps only the officers above the platoon level are qualified to use such portable crystal processors.
"Does it also suggest that you are much more dependent on the Spiritual Nexus and the crystal processors than the Imperium people are? Interesting. Let me study such a delicate structure carefully …"
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Hundreds of translucent structural designs and modification designs suddenly appeared on Thangka's retina. She observed them carefully, only to discover that they were the 3D decompositions of the portable crystal processors.
Every picture was dazzling, and every detail could be seen clearly.
"Let me see. Ah. I've found the monitoring chip of the biophysical index. It's not difficult to block it, but as a result, you will be 'heartless and emotionless' all of a sudden, which seems to have backfired on me. Then, it seems to be more reasonable to block 50% of its senses."
Li Yao said, "Focus, my friend. Imagine that your hands have melted in the air, or that the ice has melted in warm water. Yes. That's it …"
Thangka suddenly felt excruciating pain in her right hand.
It was not 'ice melted in warm water' but 'ice melted in magma'.
He could even smell the vague smell of burnt flesh. When he was about to cry out in pain, his eyes suddenly blurred. The wrist crystal processor that had been dissected into pieces a moment ago had returned to his left arm in perfect condition!
Had it not been for the fact that his right hand was still stinging because of the high-speed friction with the air, he would've suspected that everything just now was an illusion!
"Is — is it done?"
Thangka asked in disbelief, "What kind of speed is this?"
"It's as slow as a snail. It can't be helped. Your hands are too fragile. They don't look like the hands of a refiner at all. I'm afraid that your fingers will be crushed and fractured if you go any faster."
Li Yao paused for a moment and said, "I have a secret technique to train your hands here that I can teach you. I guarantee that you will be able to change your hands freely after you grasp it. They will be as flexible as steel and as flexible as water. You will be able to do anything you want.
"However, first of all, I'm going to teach you how to control your emotions, your breathing, your heartbeat, your secretion of body fluids, and the management of your facial micro-expressions. It is exactly those things that have leaked your thoughts.
"I think that even in such a godforsaken place as the Holy League, as long as you learn to hide your thoughts deeply, deeply, there will always be a way for you to escape the so-called 'purification' and keep a tiny part of yourself.
