Chapter 45

From the words Lin Yue said before entering meditation, it is not hard to judge that she should be a cultivator who has opened up inspiration.

Above the Spirit Medium Realm is the Inspiration Realm.

This is another significant characteristic after a cultivator's body evolves.

After opening up inspiration, a cultivator can perceive everything around them even with their eyes closed. Any slight movement nearby can be detected, and at the same time, their own reaction speed will have a qualitative improvement.

And there is one more point.

Cultivators can perceive some unknown existences.

You must know that even if you have opened up a Spirit Medium, it doesn't mean you can thoroughly see this world clearly. Sometimes, feeling is more important than vision.

Soon.

Lin Yue entered a state of meditation.

She began to perceive the surrounding cosmic energy.

Compared to other places, the cosmic energy in Li Yi's home did not have a significant increase. Cultivating here and cultivating elsewhere had the same effect.

"Expand the range of perception; perhaps I haven't found the right point."

Lin Yue thought this in her heart.

Her perception spread out in all directions like invisible tentacles, and in her mind, the outlines of surrounding objects appeared.

She perceived the floor, perceived the walls, and also perceived Li Yi.

But in her perception, Li Yi was just a human-shaped outline; it seemed like there was some interference that made Lin Yue unable to clearly identify his facial features.

This is a normal phenomenon.

Because the human body itself possesses a bio-magnetic field.

And Li Yi has cultivated, so his bio-magnetic field is stronger, which can interfere with the perception of the Inspiration Realm. Even stronger cultivators and extraordinary creatures can generate their own energy fields; as long as the energy field exists, it is impossible to perceive anything hidden within it.

"There are no discoveries at all. Could it be that I judged wrong, and the problem didn't occur in Li Yi's home?"

Such a thought flashed through Lin Yue's mind.

But she still didn't think about the Mystic Object.

After all, a Mystic Object is too precious and rare. Li Yi is just an ordinary cultivator; how could he possibly possess a Mystic Object? This is simply a fantasy.

However, right at this moment.

Suddenly.

Lin Yue, who was in meditation, was startled, and the fine hairs on her body stood up instantly.

My God.

What is that?

In Lin Yue's perception, besides Li Yi, another human-shaped outline actually appeared. That human-shaped outline was standing in a corner of the living room, motionless.

But how is that possible?

There should only be Li Yi and her in the whole house.

No, that's not right.

It seems there are also Li Yi's parents.

It's just that Li Yi's parents are "Silent Ones," always lying in medical pods and sleeping.

Could it be that Li Yi's parents have awakened?

That should be it.

Lin Yue calmed down quite a bit immediately, but in order to confirm the situation, she directly exited meditation and woke up immediately.

"How is it? Did you find anything?" Li Yi asked from the side.

"Li Yi, wait a moment." Lin Yue immediately turned her head at this moment and looked toward the direction of the human-shaped outline she had perceived earlier.

This glance made Lin Yue's pupils shrink violently, causing this cultivator who had opened up inspiration to instantly show a horrified expression.

Because in her line of sight, there was no one in that direction.

It was completely empty.

"How could this be, how is it possible? In my perception, there was clearly a person there..." Lin Yue stood up abruptly; she wanted to go over and reach out to touch that position.

But an inexplicable fear actually made her stop involuntarily.

"Lin Jie, are you alright?" Li Yi was a bit curious at this moment; he felt that Lin Yue's state was a bit wrong.

Lin Yue suddenly grabbed Li Yi and said: "Li Yi, you said your parents are both Silent Ones, right?"

"Yes, that's right. What's wrong? Isn't this something everyone knows?" Li Yi said, feeling a bit puzzled: "I remember I told you last time."

"Which room are your parents in? Take me to see them, okay?" Lin Yue asked again.

"Alright." Li Yi was still a bit confused at this moment, but he still took Lin Yue to his parents' room.

In the room, it was bright and tidy, and two medical pods were neatly placed on the floor.

And inside the medical pods, a man and a woman were lying there.

These were exactly Li Yi's parents.

Lin Yue looked at the two elders in the medical pods, her expression changing constantly. Looking at this situation, Li Yi's parents had never awakened from beginning to end, and it was impossible for them to have suddenly walked out of the room and appeared in her perception just now.

Since it wasn't Li Yi's parents, then who was that person in her perception?

After realizing this, the unease in Lin Yue's heart became even stronger.

"Li Yi, are you usually home alone?" She suddenly withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Yi.

In the vision of a Spirit Medium, everything in Li Yi's home was normal; Lin Yue couldn't see any abnormalities at all.

"Of course, I live alone in another room. What's wrong? Lin Jie, you've been a bit off since you woke up from meditation just now. Are you not feeling well?" Li Yi asked.

Lin Yue asked again: "Recently—no, during the time you've been living at home alone, has anything special happened?"

"No." Li Yi shook his head: "I used to go out to work every day and sleep when I got back. How could anything special happen? Lin Jie, if you want to know something, you can just ask me directly. I will definitely answer you. Being treated like this by you makes me feel inexplicably nervous."

"Wait a moment, I need to enter meditation again. You guard me from the side. If I have any abnormalities, wake me up immediately." Lin Yue took a deep breath at this moment.

She now suspected that besides his silent parents, there was another person hiding in Li Yi's home.

Or perhaps that wasn't a person at all.

Regardless, Lin Yue had to find the reason. If there was danger, she would immediately take Li Yi and his parents away from here.

"Alright, I'll guard you from the side, don't worry." Li Yi nodded.

Hearing this, Lin Yue took a deep breath, sat directly on the bed nearby, and then closed her eyes to begin entering meditation to perceive everything around her.

Soon.

Inspiration was spreading.

Lin Yue perceived the bed beneath her, perceived Uncle Lin in the medical pod, and also perceived Li Yi standing nearby... Everything was normal, which also proved that her inspiration had no problems, and the matter just now was not an illusion; it was real.

However, when her perception spread to the other medical pod.

A bizarre thing happened.

That medical pod belonging to Li Yi's mother was empty in her perception; there was nothing there, and there was simply no one lying inside.

"No, it can't be." Lin Yue was stunned at this moment.

She was a bit confused now. Just a moment ago, her eyes had seen with her own eyes that Li Yi's mother was lying in the medical pod sleeping. But why, why was that medical pod empty in her perception, with no one there?

Should she believe her own eyes, or should she believe her own inspiration?

But just when she was thinking this.

Suddenly.

In Lin Yue's inspiration, that unknown human-shaped outline appeared again.

It was in the direction of the bedroom door.

The human-shaped outline that had been standing motionless in the corner earlier was now slowly walking toward this room.

And the closer it got, the more terrified Lin Yue felt in her heart.

Because her inspiration was affected, as if it had been imprisoned and could not continue to spread out. At the same time, her consciousness was also locked by that terrifying human-shaped outline, and for a moment, she was unable to wake up from meditation.

And that thing had already walked into the room and was getting closer and closer.

The human-shaped outline in her perception passed by Li Yi's side at this moment.

The magnetic fields of the two intersected.

However, Li Yi seemed not to notice and did not make any reaction.

"It... is it coming for me?" Lin Yue was covered in cold sweat, struggling violently, trying to shake off some kind of control and wake up from meditation.

But it was to no avail.

Her body had lost sensation, and her consciousness seemed to have been captured.

"Will it kill me?" Such a thought popped up in Lin Yue's mind.

But at this moment, Li Yi's voice suddenly came from beside her ear: "Lin Jie, Lin Jie, wake up..."

This voice seemed to stop that terrifying human-shaped outline.

At the same time, the blockade of her consciousness was unlocked.

Suddenly.

Lin Yue woke up from meditation with a start. Like a drowning person, she opened her eyes in terror, gasping for air, soaked through, and covered in sweat.

"Li Yi, quick, leave here with me."

After recovering her clarity, Lin Yue hadn't calmed down yet. She grabbed Li Yi's arm again and dragged him directly toward the door to rush out.

"Hey, Lin Jie, wait, what's going on..."

Li Yi, who didn't understand, was dragged out of his home by Lin Yue.

And after walking out of the house, Lin Yue still didn't let go. She kept pulling Li Yi downstairs, walked out of the residential complex, and didn't stop until they had passed two or three streets and finally reached an intersection with more people.
