Chapter 194: Awake
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xue Meng had not been cursed or poisoned by anyone. He was just an ordinary student, so it was impossible for him to be a serial killer, right?
Ji Jing thought of the optimistic young man who wanted to solve problems and learn after being bullied. It was hard to imagine that he would kill someone.
“Indeed.” Ming Ze nodded.” And if the source of the ghost energy is him, then Taotie wouldn’t have finished it so easily.”
Evil spirits were not so easy to deal with. Even if they were ” quasi-evil spirits they were mostly anti-social characters who killed people like flies in peaceful times. They could escape arrest while they were alive, but after they died, they needed several powerful Taoist priests to work together to suppress them.
If such an underage little Taotie wanted to devour the ghost energy of the evil ghost, it would already be lucky if it didn’t have indigestion, let alone swallowing it all. No matter how he thought about it, it was difficult to link this to Xue Meng.
“I’m afraid that these questions can only be answered when Xue Meng wakes up.”Ji Jing pondered for a moment, but what was going on with Xue Meng’s coma, as if he was in a high quality sleep?
“His soul is unstable. Can he wake up?”The little Taotie hugged a bowl of strawberries and came over. As he walked, he threw strawberries into his mouth. When he passed by, Fu Jinshi even stuffed two large ones into his mouth.
Unstable soul? This was something that he had never thought of before.
Ming Ze stretched out his hand to check and frowned slightly.” That’s right. His soul is indeed unstable.”
His gaze landed on the Taotie. The Taotie clan was more sensitive to souls.
“Can you feel the reason for the instability?”Ji Jing asked the little Taotie.
If a Taoist priest wanted to check a person’s three souls and seven spirits, he would have to search the soul. However, searching the soul was an extremely difficult task. A slight carelessness could easily cause permanent damage to the person. On the other hand, divine beasts were born with the ability to sense human spirits and souls.
“Me?” The little Taotie bit the strawberry and mumbled, “”lt feels like it was forcefully pulled out and put back, so it’s not very stable, and… He kept feeling that his three souls and seven spirits were strange, but he couldn’t put his finger on it.”
That strange feeling was as if his three souls and seven spirits did not belong to him. But how was that possible?
The three souls and seven spirits in this person’s body were complete, neither more nor less.
Ghosts possessed humans by fusing their souls with their original souls. The traces of the fusion were very obvious, so it was impossible for them to be so pure. There was no existence in this world that could replace someone’s soul so cleanly while keeping the person’s body alive.
‘ His coma might be due to his unstable soul…” Then let’s try a soul-fixing ritual. Before Ji Jing could finish, she saw the boy on the sofa move his fingers.
“Hey! He’s about to wake up!” Fu Xian exclaimed, and everyone looked over.
The boy on the armchair frowned and his eyelids kept trembling. Finally, he woke up in an instant.
“Uh…” He sat up in confusion and looked around. At first glance, he saw four people of different shapes looking at him.
A girl in an ancient costume and a man with horns on his head…Why did they not look like ordinary people? There was also a child holding a pot of strawberries. However, the way he chewed the strawberries seemed a little strange. The only one left who looked normal was a gentle-looking young man.
Who were they? Were they humans? The boy looked at everything in front of him in confusion.
“Xue Meng, you’re finally awake.” Ji Jing heaved a sigh of relief and explained, ‘”You fainted at home just now. This is the person from your landlord’s family. He paid the cash and brought you here.”
“Me? Fainted?” The boy seemed to have suddenly received too much information and was a little confused. Why would he faint at home?
“Don’t be nervous. This is my friend’s house. There’s no danger. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”Ji Jing picked up a new cup on the table and poured him a cup of tea to calm him down.
“Ah… I, I don’t feel unwell.” The boy took the tea. Although he was careful not to drink it, he could feel that these people were friendly.” But, what did you call me?… Who is Xue Meng?”
Ji Jing was stunned and subconsciously turned around to look at Ming Ze. The two of them caught the surprise in each other’s eyes.
“Don’t you remember? Your name is Xue Meng.” Ji Jing asked carefully..
