"Something very powerful?" Hao Ren was confused by the MDT's words. "What is it?"
The MDT bounced around on Hao Ren's shoulder. "Could be a fragment of a soul, or some sort of spiritual imprint. I can't tell, but it's entangled with Zhao Xi's soul. That thing is so powerful that even her soul can't control her body."
The first thing that came to Hao Ren's mind was the effect of the Godslayer's whisper on the demon hunter. "Is it the Godslayer's Mental Imprint?"
"No, it's different in nature. And the thing in Zhao Xi's soul looks more … advanced. I can't see through it at all."
Hao Ren did not expect a gadget as advanced as the MDT to be lacking in performance. Liu Sheng, who was beside him, could no longer hold it in. "What are you talking about? Is Zhao Xi possessed by some evil spirit or something? "
"It's hard to say, but it doesn't seem like she's suffering from soul detachment. Her soul is being suppressed by an external spirit." Hao Ren waved his hand. "Do you know what she came into contact with in the Netherrealm Clock Tower?"
Liu Sheng thought for a moment before shaking his head. "… I'm not sure. I was still recuperating in the rear when she was captured. When she was brought back, she was already like this. I've asked around, Zhao Xi was like the others when she was trapped in the Netherrealm Clock Tower, wandering around the upper levels."
Liu Sheng's information did not have much value, so Hao Ren turned his attention back to Zhao Xi. He poked the MDT on his shoulder. "Can you extract the external spirit from her body?"
The MDT thought for a moment. "It's difficult. I can't even see what it is. I can only deduce that there are two different entities entangled in Zhao Xi's spiritual world. But if we put her in the medical pod and stimulate her with a mental reconstruction program … we might be able to get the spirit inside her to show itself. Then we'll know what to do. "
"Are you two willing to come to my place?" Hao Ren turned to Liu Sheng. "I have the equipment. Maybe it can cure Zhao Xi."
Liu Sheng was not one to beat around the bush. He nodded and said, "Thank you very much."
Hao Ren helped Zhao Xi up and got the MDT to activate the teleportation portal. The three of them were enveloped in a white light, and in an instant, they were back home in the Southern Suburbs.
When the three of them suddenly appeared in the living room, Lily was lying on the sofa reading a magazine. The husky maiden jumped up when she saw the two strangers beside Hao Ren. "Ah! Are there any guests today? "
Liu Sheng swayed dizzily. He had yet to shake off the dizziness caused by the teleportation. It took him a while to see who the creature was. He smiled stiffly. "Err, long time no see. Sorry to bother you …"
At that moment, Vivian came out of the kitchen with a covered plate. She was surprised to see the situation in the living room. "Did you go out to look for them?"
Hao Ren pointed at Zhao Xi, who was standing crookedly like a zombie. "The situation is a little special. I need to use the medical equipment in the basement. By the way, you don't mind inviting demon hunters over, do you? "
"They're all guests anyway," Vivian said casually. She put the plate on the table and wiped her hands on her apron. "You're Liu Sheng, right? Take a seat, I'll go cook a few more dishes. Can you take spicy food? "
Liu Sheng was quite calm earlier, but now that Vivian asked him to take a seat, he immediately fidgeted awkwardly. He was not used to the atmosphere. Putting aside the old scores between the demon hunters and the otherworldlings, he knew what these people were doing. The Fourteenth Sage was cooking in the kitchen, the First Sage was lying on the sofa reading a magazine, and opposite him was a demon king reading the People's Daily — the kind that had an army of a hundred thousand. Surrounded by these people, Liu Sheng suddenly felt like a commoner who had fallen into the Great Hall of the People. He felt like he was wearing woolen underwear …
As a silly husky, Lily did not think too much. She just turned her attention away from the magazine and looked at Liu Sheng curiously. "We fought before, you're pretty good …"
Liu Sheng's mouth twitched as he looked at the husky, wondering if he should treat her like a sage or a werewolf. In those few seconds, Lily's attention had shifted again. She looked curiously at Zhao Xi, who was hanging unsteadily on Hao Ren's arm. "What's wrong with her?"
Hao Ren briefly explained the situation to everyone, and then brought Zhao Xi to the basement. A hibernation pod was on standby through the MDT's remote control. Hao Ren put Zhao Xi in and set up the automatic mental reconstruction mode. When the lid of the pod slowly closed, all that was left was to wait.
Liu Sheng followed curiously. He was shocked by what was hidden in the basement, but as someone who had seen the hundred thousand allied troops, he was not too surprised to see what Hao Ren had come up with. He was just a little uneasy about the coffin-like silver-white metal box. "This thing can cure soul detachment?"
"I said, it's not soul detachment," Hao Ren corrected him again. "Besides, it's not necessarily curable. I'm just trying to get the 'foreign object' in Zhao Xi's mind to show itself. Let's figure out what it is first."
"How long do we have to wait?" Liu Sheng looked at the data on the silver-white metal box. He could not understand a single word.
"Do you see this timer? Just wait for it to 'ding', then it will open automatically. But because the target is not clear, this process will take about half an hour. I've set up automatic heating … Err, no, automatic monitoring. I'll be notified when it's done, "Hao Ren said as he walked towards the stairs." We'll wait here for half an hour. Let's have dinner first, and try Vivian's cooking. "
"This is not a treat just anyone can enjoy. You should be proud." Vivian looked at Liu Sheng with an air of elegance. "In the past ten thousand years, I've only cooked for these people in this house."
Liu Sheng's expression changed. He felt like a demon hunter who was experiencing an epic event. Lily, who was beside him, mumbled softly, "Duh, you used to be able to afford groceries too."
Vivian put her hands on her hips. "Doggie!"
Lily was startled. "Of course, I think Battie's cooking is delicious! It's meaningful! It's classy! "
Liu Sheng looked at the interaction between Battie and Doggie in bewilderment. He did not expect the two to interact like this. Hao Ren patted him on the shoulder. "Get used to it. This is the daily routine of the two current leaders of the demon hunters."
Liu Sheng suddenly felt that the future of the demon hunters was bleak …
When he came to the living room, he saw Vivian lifting the lid of each dish. It was an eye-opener for him.
The spacious dining table was filled with more than a dozen sumptuous dishes. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, the aroma and appearance were comparable to those of a luxurious banquet. Moreover, when each dish was opened, it would actually burst out with a brilliant light — this was not an exaggeration, it was really a ray of light! Every time Vivian lifted the lid of a bowl, a ray of aurora-like light would fly out. After more than a dozen dishes were presented, the whole table was like the Southern Heavenly Gate, surrounded by auspicious clouds and divine lights …
Liu Sheng even heard a faintly discernible sacred music floating around the dining table.
Hao Ren led the family to the dining table. At this time, the entire living room was filled with holy light and auspicious clouds. When Hao Ren sat down, the people on both sides lined up. The atmosphere was like the last meal of Jesus, or the feast of the Jade Emperor destroyed by Sun Wukong …
Well, both were not auspicious, but it was good to get the point.
Anyway, under the illumination of the holy light, anyone sitting at the table would look like a character in a fairy tale. Only Lily looked a little different. She habitually squatted on the chair, looking like a howling celestial hound, but she was still a security graduate of the Southern Heavenly Gate …
Liu Sheng looked at the extravagance in confusion. "You guys … Do you have to do this for a meal? Do you need to enchant a dish? "
Vivian said as she sat down, "The dishes are not enchanted, but the pot I use is enchanted."
Liu Sheng exclaimed, "Enchanted a pot?!"
"Extreme Divine Protection, Extreme Holy Blessing, Extreme Divine Gift, Extreme Holy Light Surge, Extreme Preservation Spell." Hao Ren sighed. "If you want to hear me repeat myself, I'll tell you tomorrow. Lily, sit down! Don't crawl under the table! Lil Pea, come out of the soup bowl! Eat properly! "
