A few days later, Xiahou Ziyue woke up.
The first person she saw was her father.
"Yue 'er, you're awake?" Xiahou Ming smiled warmly at her.
At this moment, Xiahou Ziyue was somewhat dazed. She seemed to have returned to her childhood, when her father brought her everywhere to play.
However, in recent years, she had grown to hate everyone in the family.
Anyone who took the initiative to express goodwill to her would be treated as a scheme with ulterior motives.
How could a group of people who could install monitoring devices in their own house be good people?
What she didn't know was that although her father had ordered the installation of those monitoring devices, it wasn't her father's intention.
The control wasn't in her father's hands either.
It was an independent department of the mysterious organization that was in charge of it!
Stop pretending?
Sure.
You're not loyal to the organization!
You have other thoughts in your heart!
You might betray the organization.
Not only would the organization not put such a person in an important position, but they would also use all sorts of methods to get rid of them.
As for the process of getting rid of them, there was no need to talk about it.
Xiahou Ming would never tell his daughter about these things.
He would rather Xiahou Ziyue blame and resent him.
Because he only hoped that his daughter could live happily for the rest of her life.
From the perspective of the monitoring department, Xiahou Ziyue knew very little. At most, she knew that the things her family did weren't that honorable.
This wasn't a big deal at all.
Of course, they didn't know that Xiahou Ziyue could summon the wind and summon the rain on the internet.
Xiahou Ming didn't know either, but he didn't care about this.
Anyway, one day, his daughter would get married. A little girl who didn't know anything, and no one would care about her.
Then, her life would be blissful.
Even if one day, something happened to the Xiahou family, no one would look for her and hold her responsible.
Killing a woman who didn't know anything was meaningless to their organization.
"Dad, why do you seem to have more white hair?"
Maybe it was because she had been asleep for so many days, or maybe the conversation with Shirō Makino had touched her, or maybe it was Shirō Makino's doubts about her teacher that had loosened her pure and inexperienced heart.
In short, at this moment, she suddenly realized that her father seemed to have aged unknowingly.
This made her suddenly feel very sad.
Xia Houming looked at his daughter gently and said with a smile, "Dad has a short head of white hair. This is caused by genes. Hehe, what do you mean by getting old? Dad is still young!"
"Dad, can't we not do those things? Can't you just treat it as a proper business? "Xiahou Ziyue looked at her father with reddened eyes as she spoke gently.
"Although I really want to say yes, it's already too late. Our family has already sunk too deep! I can't get away. " Xia Houming looked deeply at his daughter and said, "But Dad can promise you that I won't do those evil things."
"Really?" Xiahou Ziyue looked at her father in surprise.
Suddenly, she frowned and her expression turned cold. She sneered and said, "Haha, adults are so hypocritical. In the end, you still can't give up those benefits."
Xia Houming thought back to what Shirō Makino had told him and couldn't help but sigh. Shirō Makino really hadn't lied to him.
His daughter's current state was obviously not right.
It was a pity that his horizons weren't broad enough and he didn't think in that direction. He never expected such a thing to happen.
"Darling, if you have any resentment in your heart, scold if you want. Dad won't be angry." As Xia Houming spoke, he gently pressed on the communicator and called Shirō Makino.
Xiahou Ziyue didn't notice her father's actions. She just lay on the bed and sneered. "You still have the face to be angry? Think about what you have done all these years. I feel ashamed for you! Too shameless … "
…
…
When Shirō Makino received Xia Houming's message, he was drawing talismans.
Even when the communicator vibrated slightly, it didn't disturb his thoughts at all.
When he finished the last stroke, he glanced at the communicator and sat there with a happy smile on his face.
Finally, it's about time!
After so many days of hard work, the talisman techniques he had mastered in the real world were already rather gorgeous.

Among the offensive talisman techniques, Shirō Makino only cultivated sword talismans.
Among the offensive talisman techniques, the truly powerful ones were the elemental talisman techniques.
But in Xiao Bai's current state, the best offensive talisman technique he could cultivate was sword talismans.
Actually, sword talismans weren't weak at all!
There were no weak talisman techniques in the Talisman Artist's book.
Xiao Bai's sword talismans were also fundamentally different from Moussy's three sword talismans.
This kind of sword talisman could follow Shirō Makino's realm all the way up. Even if one day Shirō Makino became a Divine Talisman Master, his sword talisman would naturally become a God-level sword talisman!
But the three sword talismans that Moussy cultivated were far inferior. It was only a mid-level talisman technique.
It was only at this time that it had a miraculous effect against opponents with low realms. If he really encountered a Grandmaster-level expert, the three sword talismans couldn't hurt him at all.
Because its quality, even if it was upgraded to the highest level, it would only be of mid-level.
In the future, even if Moussy became a high-level Talisman Artist, the power of the three sword talismans would never reach the highest level.
Wealth, dharma, companions, and land.
This was the power of "dharma"!
Therefore, even if Shirō Makino didn't learn other offensive talisman techniques in the future, he would only cultivate sword talismans.
As long as he unlocked the seal, his sword talismans would be enough to make people's scalps numb!
No one dared to look down on it.
But it was also difficult to upgrade the sword talisman's quality.
It was not an exaggeration to say that it had been tempered a thousand times.
Even Shirō Makino couldn't upgrade it to a higher quality in a short period of time.
He was already satisfied to be able to reach the low-grade.
Other than the sword talismans, the biggest gain was the medical talisman technique, "Eliminate Calamity".
Today, most of the diseases in the world had been eliminated. The remaining diseases could mostly be solved by artificial intelligence doctors.
Therefore, hospitals and doctors were very rare in this era.
Only some special diseases could go to a hospital and be diagnosed by experienced doctors.
At the current level of civilization, although there were still many kinds of diseases, they basically wouldn't become shackles that hindered human development.
The existence of talisman doctors was mainly targeted at the more bizarre diseases.
For example, Sun Heng's fire poison, or Xiahou Ziyue's Soul Controlling Art.
These diseases couldn't be solved by modern medicine.
If Xiahou Ziyue was cursed, then Shirō Makino's Purification Art could solve it.
But she was under the Soul Controlling Art!
Then he could only solve it through a talisman technique like Eliminate Calamity.
There weren't many medical talismans, and most of them required extremely high mental strength to make.
"Eliminate Calamity" was basically the best choice for Shirō Makino to solve Xiahou Ziyue's problem.
He stood up, picked up a stack of "Eliminate Calamity" talismans from the table, and strolled towards the small building where Xiahou Ziyue lived.
The entire manor here belonged to Xiahou Ziyue. Other than Xiahou Ming who stayed here occasionally, no one else from the Xiahou family would step foot here.
Shirō Makino and Yao Qian were the only outsiders to enter the manor.
When he arrived at Xiahou Ziyue's place, just as Shirō Makino reached the living room downstairs, he heard Xiahou Ziyue's cold curse coming from upstairs.
He went upstairs.
He pushed open Xiahou Ziyue's door.
He saw the white-haired Xiahou Ming sitting on the single-seater sofa in the room.
Seeing Shirō Makino come, Xiahou Ming revealed a hint of nervousness. He stood up and said, "Young Master Bai, I'll go out first."
"No need." Shirō Makino shook his head and turned his gaze to Xiahou Ziyue. He suddenly waved the Eliminate Calamity Talisman in his hand.
He smiled and said, "Sister Ziyue, I'm here to treat your illness."
"Scram!" The moment Xiahou Ziyue saw the talisman in Shirō Makino's hand, her entire aura changed drastically.
The ethereal, quiet … young girl filled with vitality had completely disappeared.
At this moment, she was like a demon controlled by a demonic spell.
She even sat up from the bed and raised her arms, causing everything in the room to tremble violently.
Xiahou Ming was shocked and stood up on the spot. He was a little frightened!
How could his daughter … possess such an ability?
He didn't think too much about it and only thought that Xiahou Ziyue was already under the control of the Protoss.
He stomped his feet anxiously and shouted, "Young Master, save my daughter! Save my daughter!"
"Shut up!" Xiahou Ziyue screamed.
Then, she glared at Shirō Makino, her eyes filled with deep resentment.
"Scram! If you don't scram, I'll kill you! "
Pa!
A talisman exploded on her body.
Control!
Xiahou Ziyue lost her balance on the spot. She leaned against the headboard and couldn't move.
A beginner high-grade control talisman!
This thing was simply too useful.
The young lady couldn't speak on the spot. She couldn't even scream herself hoarse.
High-grade control talisman, Silence skill activated!
Scream! Roar!
Can't say a word now?
Shirō Makino hated the 'Master' behind Xiahou Ziyue to the core.
That damned Protoss!
Only the Protoss who were proficient in all kinds of supernatural powers would have a method like Soul Control.
Of course, there was another possibility.
That was a Human-God hybrid.
Once such a person awakened the power of the Protoss in their bloodline, they could also possess all kinds of supernatural powers.
Shirō Makino wasn't 100% sure if the 'Master' who was trying to control Xiahou Ziyue was a Protoss or a Human-God hybrid.
Big Pretty could only lock onto the other party's identification code and didn't dare to attack the other party's AI.
She was afraid of alerting the enemy.
If it was anyone else, they would be sensitive to this kind of thing.
Especially when that person had an ulterior motive.
They couldn't act rashly.
However, Shirō Makino insisted that the other party was a Protoss. Xiahou Ming didn't dare to argue at all.
Even if he could think of a Human-God hybrid, he didn't dare to take the risk!
What if he was a real Protoss?
Even if he was a Human-God hybrid, that wouldn't do!
How many Human-God hybrids have you seen walking the world openly?
Even if such a person was on the side of humans, as long as their identity was revealed, how many people would be willing to believe them?
At this moment, Xiahou Ziyue's various actions completely confirmed the fact that the person who contacted her was a Protoss.
It also completely destroyed the last shred of hope in Xia Houming's heart.
From now on, he and the entire Xiahou family were tied to this young man.
Although Xiahou Ziyue couldn't move or speak, her body was constantly trembling.
Her mental power was terrifyingly high!
If it wasn't for the fact that she hadn't systematically studied the Talisman Artist domain, if it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Bai's control talisman had reached high-grade, it wouldn't be so easy to control her.
The effectiveness of the control talisman didn't increase. It was still a little more than a second.
But it couldn't withstand too much!
Shirō Makino slapped control talismans on Xiahou Ziyue's body one after another.
He didn't use the Disaster Eliminating Talisman immediately. He wanted to wait until Xiahou Ziyue's condition stabilized.
However, he used the interval to slap a few Cleansing Talismans.
The low-grade Cleansing Talisman was much more powerful than when he treated Sun Heng at the Sun family.
After a few Cleansing Talismans were used, Xiahou Ziyue's condition improved greatly.
Her eyes started to show a blank look.
Xia Houming saw this change from the side.
He finally subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
His throat was too dry!
No one knew how nervous he was at that moment.
His heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Fortunately, his daughter finally calmed down.
However, Shirō Makino didn't relax his control over Xiahou Ziyue.
She was too deeply under the Soul Controlling Art!
Even though it was recorded in the information that she would be completely controlled when she fell asleep and didn't wake up.
But what if?
What if the Protoss sensed something and didn't hesitate to destroy Xiahou Ziyue, the puppet, to fight to the death with them?
Hence, Xiao Bai was especially cautious. He didn't care if she recovered.
Anyway, the person who couldn't move was the safest.
Finally, Xiahou Ziyue completely calmed down. She was leaning against the headboard, facing Shirō Makino.
A puzzled look appeared in her pure eyes.
She probably didn't know what had happened, and there was a hint of grievance in her eyes.
Shirō Makino wasn't moved. You're not my wife. Why should I explain so much to you?
Pa!
A Calamity Eliminating Talisman was finally taken out by Shirō Makino.
A Calamity Eliminating Talisman made of high-grade materials had an additional effect. Hence, even though it was an elementary inferior-grade talisman, Xiahou Ziyue still reacted strongly the moment it was taken out.
Her body trembled violently!
A look of pain appeared in her eyes.
This …
Xiahou Ming, who had already sat down, couldn't help but stand up. He rubbed his hands, looking like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to. He didn't dare to disturb Shirō Makino.
He could only take deep breaths on the spot.
From Xiahou Ziyue's angle, she could see her father's expression and actions.
She was slightly stunned.
Then, the second Calamity Eliminating Talisman exploded on her body.
Xiahou Ziyue's body convulsed a few times, and the pain in her eyes intensified.
However, her eyes were fixed on her father.
Xiahou Ming also looked at his daughter.
He couldn't hold back his tears, and they flowed down from the corners of his eyes.
His heart ached!
He didn't know and couldn't imagine how much pain his daughter had suffered in that instant.
Even if it was just a tiny bit, his heart ached.
Under normal circumstances, she could still cry out in pain to reduce the pain. However, Ziyue couldn't make a sound at all.
Xiahou Ziyue stared blankly at the tears flowing from her father's eyes.
If it was in the past, she would also feel sad. However, most of the time, she would think: These are crocodile tears!
He likes me more because he likes his daughter, and not because of me!
These were things that her good master had instilled in her all these years.
Previously, she had accepted it all and was completely brainwashed.
However, when she felt intense pain because of Shirō Makino's Calamity Eliminating Talisman, and then looked at her father's uncontrollable tears, her heart … felt as if it had been struck by something!
Extremely painful!
Extremely sad!
It was far more painful than the Calamity Eliminating Talisman!
So much so that at this moment, when the next Calamity Eliminating Talisman hit her body, she couldn't even feel the pain.
Her heart was completely replaced by an inexplicable emotion that she had forgotten for a long time.
Control talismans could control a person's movements. High-grade control talismans could even control sound.
However, she couldn't stop the tears from falling.
Xiahou Ziyue cried.
She wasn't crying because of pain, but because her father was crying.
She was also extremely sad.
If she could move and speak now, she would definitely stand up and wipe her father's tears. Then, she would hug him gently and tell him: Daddy, I was wrong. Don't cry, I'm not in pain.
However, she couldn't move or speak. Thus, she could only keep crying.
Unceasing flow.
When Shirō Makino saw this scene, how could he not be moved?
Even though he continued to use talismans with a calm expression.
Control talismans, Cleansing talismans, and Calamity Eliminating Talismans alternated.
However, in his heart, he felt extremely envious.
A child with a father's love was truly blissful.
Even if her body was in so much pain, she could easily forget it.
Thus, in this world, the strongest weapon was actually emotions. Was it love?
Pa!
When the 19th Calamity Eliminating Talisman exploded on Xiahou Ziyue's body, her eyes suddenly turned red.
Her porcelain doll-like fair skin instantly turned blood red.
Streaks of gray patterns covered the blood red!
It was a shocking sight!
It gave one the feeling that she could explode at any moment!
Xiahou Ziyue turned pale with fright. He was extremely nervous, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
His hands were clenched tightly, and his body was trembling slightly.
At this moment, he didn't have the aura of a super-rich person in Liming City.
He was just a pitiful father who was worried about his daughter's safety but couldn't do anything.
A ray of light!
It suddenly shot out from Xiahou Ziyue's forehead.
Following that, an extremely cold spiritual will instantly pierced into Shirō Makino's spiritual sea.
Everything happened so quickly that Shirō Makino didn't even have time to react.
A shrill voice screamed and roared, reverberating in Shirō Makino's spiritual sea.
"What are you? How dare you destroy my doll? I'm going to kill you! "
Shirō Makino's body instantly stiffened.
His talisman … was also temporarily interrupted.
However, the blood red color on Xiahou Ziyue's body was also rapidly fading. In the blink of an eye, it returned to its normal color.
Her eyes also gradually regained clarity. However, she looked extremely weak. Even when she leaned against the wall, she couldn't sit still. She fell weakly onto the bed.
However, she persisted and tried her best to use a weak voice to call out, "Dad …"
In his spiritual sea, Shirō Makino asked curiously with his thoughts, "Are you the Protoss?"
"I'm going to kill you!"
The voice was sharp and piercing. Then, it started to wreak havoc in Shirō Makino's spiritual sea.
However, in the next moment, the voice that was filled with resentment became incomparably terrified.
"You, you, you … What the hell are you?"
At this moment, Xiahou Ziyue used all her strength to call out "Dad". Thus, Shirō Makino replied gently in his spiritual sea.
"I'm your dad!"
