Chapter 188

As for Miss Miss Jingliu’s damaged body...

Not to mention that she is a "Mara-Struck" herself, her recovery ability is astonishing.

Lin Qi also has the Time Scarf.

Even if she were down to her last breath, he could save her directly.

There is no need to worry at all.

On the contrary, the scene in reality at this moment makes Lin Qi’s expression incredibly strange.

"Frog-tie, electric currents, secret experimental base..."

"Plus a beautiful, cold, and aloof young lady in a coma..."

"Hiss~ damn."

"Why does it feel like something is not quite right?"

118. Curing the Mara-Struck? Miss Miss Jingliu: My body is at your disposal.

Of course, Miss Miss Jingliu cannot be called a young lady.

After all, she is already over 1,800 years old.

Even if you exclude the time she spent in a daze after falling into the Mara, and only count the time she was conscious, that is at least 1,000 years.

Therefore.

Judging solely by age, she has absolutely nothing to do with being a young lady.

But her appearance fits the description perfectly.

So much so that even though Lin Qi didn't have those kinds of thoughts, he still couldn't help but make unspeakable associations.

This cannot be blamed on Lin Qi, nor is it because he watches too much "anime."

It is simply that the sense of déjà vu is too strong.

It is difficult for him not to think this way.

But since things have reached this point, he can only bite the... bullet and continue the experiment.

That’s right, the bullet.

And then.

In the Synesthesia Dream, Lin Qi found a "sparring partner" for Miss Miss Jingliu, which was a robot.

Because of the blessing of Lin Qi’s Path power, this robot’s strength is not bad.

At the very least, acting as a "sandbag" for Miss Miss Jingliu is no problem.

In this way.

Lin Qi can withdraw from the Synesthesia Dream and devote more energy to the research on the Mara-Struck.

[First experiment: ten standard units of destructive current. Experimental result: almost no effect; the subject withstood the impact very easily.]

[Fourth experiment: one thousand standard units of destructive current, the intensity has reached the full-force strike of a strong Pathstrider. Experimental result: the subject’s physical activity weakened, and there were injuries in multiple parts of the body, but she did not exit the Mara-Struck state. There was also no obvious change in her soul consciousness.]

[Tenth experiment: three thousand standard units of destructive current. The subject’s body no longer moved, but an increase in the power of the Path of Abundance was detected. It is suspected that the divine power of Abundance is exerting influence. The "Mara-Struck" state of her soul consciousness began to weaken. Note: It cannot be ruled out that she was tired from slashing, so she exited naturally.]

Lin Qi conducted dozens of experiments in a row.

The experimental intensity increased step by step.

The methods also gradually became more complex.

Because Miss Miss Jingliu herself has recovery abilities, coupled with Lin Qi’s Time Scarf, her body had no changes at all after the experiment ended.

You couldn't tell at all that she had previously been subjected to "inhumane" experiments.

Lin Qi couldn't talk about this, either.

Anyway...

He had already obtained the data he wanted regarding the Mara-Struck.

He already had a preliminary judgment.

Therefore.

He also untied all of Miss Miss Jingliu’s restraints.

Then he waited quietly.

After a while.

Miss Miss Jingliu slowly woke up in reality, but after waking, her expression was somewhat dazed.

"I am..."

"You fell into the Mara not long after entering the Synesthesia Dream." Lin Qi said truthfully.

Miss Miss Jingliu was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Then how did I recover?"

"Preliminary analysis relates it to the stripping away of the Abundance divine power."

Lin Qi took out a branch.

It was exactly a Qiong-Mulberry branch.

"Before researching the Mara-Struck, I was researching how to strip the Abundance divine power from the branch. I didn't expect that I wouldn't use it on the Qiong-Mulberry tree, but would use it on you first," Lin Qi explained.

As he spoke.

Lin Qi asked casually, "After you Luofu Luofu Xianzhou natives fall into the Mara, does it always have something to do with plants?"

"That is indeed the case!"

Miss Miss Jingliu nodded and said, "Many Luofu Luofu Xianzhou natives’ bodies will undergo direct changes; growing branches, leaves, or even other plant organs is possible."

"Then that explains it." Lin Qi smiled. "Although your form didn't change, the core is the same. Therefore, the stripping technology I originally used on the Qiong-Mulberry was just right for you."

Hearing Lin Qi’s explanation, Miss Miss Jingliu could not help but be stunned.

She was even horrified.

Stripping away the divine power of Abundance?

What kind of method was this?

It was simply unheard of.

But when she felt her own body, she found it was unexpectedly better than ever before; that aura of Abundance which had accompanied her for hundreds of years had faded to the point of near non-existence!

Closing her eyes to recall the past, Miss Miss Jingliu was astonished to discover that her emotions were no longer spiraling out of control.

There was not the slightest sign of falling into the Mara-Struck state!

"Doctor, have you completely expelled the Mara-Struck state from my body?" Miss Miss Jingliu asked in shock.

"It’s not quite that exaggerated."

Lin Qi explained, "I have only thinned out the divine power of Abundance that causes you to fall into Mara by countless times. As for completely expelling it... let alone whether it can be done, even if it were possible, it must be considered with discretion. You should know why, right?"

Miss Miss Jingliu thought for a moment and quickly realized.

"The longevity of the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou people comes from Abundance. If there were absolutely no divine power of Abundance left, I might die completely?"

"You would turn into dust!" Lin Qi added.

"..."

Miss Miss Jingliu fell silent for a moment, somewhat surprised that it was so serious.

At this moment.

Lin Qi spoke again, "If not for the blessing of Abundance, normally you might only have a lifespan of one or two hundred years. Now you have lived for over a thousand years more. Think about what would happen to a withered bone if such a long span of time were applied to it."

Without needing more words, Miss Miss Jingliu understood.

However, Miss Miss Jingliu did not care whether it was completely expelled; she only cared about one thing.

"Then do I still have the risk of falling into the Mara-Struck state in the future?"

"Not for now, but it's hard to say after some time."

Lin Qi did not give a definitive answer. "The aftermath remains to be observed. I can only tell you this: the divine power of Abundance is like a maggot in the bone; it is very difficult to expel it cleanly. To put it in common terms, it is like cancer cells spread throughout the body. What I can do is excise it, but I cannot eradicate it. Therefore, as long as some time passes, it will make a comeback. It’s just that I don't have an answer for that timeframe yet."

The divine power of Abundance is extremely special.

Lin Qi had studied it for a long time and discovered that it could not only restore the bodies of the Abundance-kin, but even...

It could restore itself as well!

This completely exceeded the constraints of the physical level.
