Chapter 1511

~8 min read 1,434 words

Earlier than the Wang family person's estimate, not yet midnight, just after dinner, Qiu Gui woke up and regained his sanity.

Chen Guanlou instructed the handymen to hurry and wash Qiu Gui clean and feed him something; he would have to ask for a diagnosis and ask questions in a while.

Medical Official Mu hadn't finished work yet and stood firm at his post, just to personally take Qiu Gui's pulse and check his body. He wanted to see how miraculous the Wang family person's supernatural powers really were.

Why could she wake someone up by relying on a bug?

What exactly is the principle?

His brain was full of questions.

Qiu Gui was transferred to the prison cell, and Medical Official Mu diagnosed him, "Do you know what happened?"

Qiu Gui nodded, looking like a bereaved person; his spirit seemed to have been drained, and his complexion was slightly gray and white.

"When will I die?" he asked.

"Don't be in such a hurry to talk about death. Do you know what date it is today?"

"I seem to have been unconscious for a few days." Qiu Gui frowned and thought, "I still remember you; you took my pulse."

Medical Official Mu was very curious, "When you were half-dead, I called you and you didn't respond; you actually still have an impression of me?"

"I heard you talking, but I couldn't say anything." Qiu Gui said slowly, "I wanted to open my mouth to speak, but I found I couldn't make a sound."

Is soul-loss syndrome like this?

Medical Official Mu signaled his eldest grandson Mu Wenxu to record it truthfully, and he continued to chat with Qiu Gui.

"We woke you up, do you remember?"

Qiu Gui thought for a while, shook his head, then nodded, "I seemed to smell a fragrance, someone was standing at the exit waving at me, and I ran over. Then I woke up!"

Huh?

How magical!

"What kind of person did you see?"

"Blurry, can't see clearly. He had two sticks on his head, standing high up." Qiu Gui described carefully.

Medical Official Mu immediately exchanged a look with Chen Guanlou.

Medical Official Mu came outside the prison door and said in a low voice, "The person he mentioned, wouldn't it be the Wang family person's golden bug? Two sticks, could it be the antennae on the bug's head?"

Chen Guanlou nodded, "It's possible!"

"This is truly... how can a bug wake up soul-loss syndrome; I can't figure it out no matter how I think."

Chen Guanlou had been thinking about this question all along.

Thinking with traditional thinking, no matter how he thought, he couldn't find the answer.

He decisively jumped out of the framework and looked further, and had some insights.

He said to Medical Official Mu, "You cannot look at the Wang family person's golden bug as an ordinary bug. Her treasure bug is extraordinary; it must have become a spirit. So many bugs, thousands, millions, such a spectacular sea of bugs, you and I both saw it with our own eyes.

A tiny golden bug could eat up a million bugs in a few moments; can this be an ordinary bug? Saying it is an immortal bug is possible.

You also know that a thousand years ago, in the early Great Yu Dynasty, there were records of immortals descending to the world. The sect behind the Wang family has been inherited for a thousand years. Is it possible that her treasure bug is the sect treasure left by the immortals to their sect! Otherwise, how could an evil cultivator, a sect acting strangely, be inherited for a thousand years without falling?"

They must have a means of self-preservation.

Such an evil sect, under normal circumstances, would be shouted at by everyone, and must be eliminated quickly. Even if they survived by luck, they would be like rats in a gutter, only daring to act in the dark, never daring to reveal their identities.

Just like the legendary Demon Sect, everyone gets to punish them!

The Wang family person never avoids others talking about her origin sect. At least in front of the few of them, she never avoided it.

Talking about trust, not necessarily. The greater possibility is that the Wang family person is not afraid of being investigated. Even if one day she is driven to a dead end, she has the confidence to escape.

Just like himself, he never minds how others speculate about him, saying he possesses strange treasures. Even if Wei Wubing came in person, he wouldn't be afraid. Just because he has the confidence, he has the Longevity Dao Fruit!

The feeling the Wang family person gives him is also like this; she has confidence in her heart!

That golden bug might be one of her sources of confidence.

Medical Official Mu said "Ah" several times and said in a low voice, "Does the lord really think the Wang family person's bug is an immortal inheritance? This... doesn't it mean one cannot cultivate immortality nowadays, and how did the bug survive."

"Long sleep without waking, maintaining functions!" Chen Guanlou said softly, "Sleep is the exercise with the lowest consumption. If one day, the immortal world is not peaceful and one cannot continue to cultivate immortality, I think those immortals would also choose to sleep without waking to maintain their cultivation. Once they wake up, they can carry out a counter-kill!"

Medical Official Mu was shocked, "Does the lord really think about this question?"

Chen Guanlou raised his eyebrows, "As a martial artist, I naturally have to think in this direction. The Wang family person's bug is not a mortal object; do you agree with this point?"

Medical Official Mu nodded; he agreed one hundred percent.

He wished he could snatch the bug, dissect it himself, and see what the structure inside the bug was, why it would be so magical, so greedy? A million-bug sea, eaten up in a few moments, no corpses, only a ground of mucus left.

If it really is the soul-scattering and ash-annihilation described by Prison Warden Chen, how powerful must that bug be. A million-bug sea, able to eliminate it in a moment. Killing people must be a piece of cake.

He subconsciously wiped his forehead, "In this way, the bug waking up soul-loss syndrome is not too strange. A bug passed down from the immortal world having some strange abilities is truly normal."

Chen Guanlou laughed, "These are all my guesses; you don't have to take them seriously."

"No, no, no, the lord's guesses are very reasonable. From now on, I must be more polite to the Wang family person."

This topic is temporarily stopped.

Chen Guanlou inquired about Qiu Gui's physical condition.

"A bit weak, other than that, no other problems. The lord can ask questions at any time."

"He won't faint again, will he."

"No. I have never seen, or even heard of a soul-loss syndrome patient waking up and then losing their soul again. Unless someone poisons them. Once poison is used, I can detoxify it!"

Medical Official Mu still had this bit of confidence.

Chen Guanlou felt relieved, walked into the prison cell, and looked at the dispirited Qiu Gui, "I thought you weren't afraid of death!"

Qiu Gui's reaction was a bit slow; it took a while before he reacted, smiled bitterly, "How could I not be afraid of death!" As soon as the words fell, his expression became terrified.

"How will the Ministry of Justice sentence me? I accept the death penalty!"

He just couldn't accept other sentences.

"How do you think you will be sentenced?"

Qiu Gui didn't dare to think deeply about this question; his brain ached faintly.

"Since you are afraid of death, why kill Dou Anzhi and replace him. Didn't the Dou family treat you well?"

"Good! Better than everyone else. My parents didn't treat me as well as the Dou family did." Qiu Gui's expression seemed to have regret, but his eyes were cold and chilling.

"The Dou family treated you well, why did you return evil for good? What prompted you to kill Dou Anzhi? Could it be someone instigated you?"

"No one instigated me!" Qiu Gui laughed at himself, "I am just a despicable villain, never knowing satisfaction. The more the Dou family gave me, the more I wanted."

Chen Guanlou furrowed his brows; he could see that the other party was telling the truth. But intuition told him that the other party must have hidden something. The reason for the murder was definitely more than just this!
