The Spirit World

Chapter 611 Heart Core
[People who walk at night must be very afraid of stinky ditches. ]

A speeding carriage bumped along the small road from Fulan City to Nanqi Town. The coachman whipped the horse, and the horse neighed and ran faster and faster, as if it was taking the people in the carriage away from this world.

The bumps in the carriage made Hall's armor rattle. He tore off his knight's cloak and covered Erica's thin body with it. Hall watched Lilia put her hand on Chang Yufeng's forehead to test his temperature, and then put it on her own forehead. The wrinkles on her eyebrows became brighter and brighter. They were crystal beads of sweat, and she was worried about this girl who was not strong.

"Still don't know the reason..." Hall's silver iron wristband shone, grabbing Chang Yufeng's legs to prevent the shaking of the carriage from shaking the internal organs of the still sleeping person.

"I haven't studied medicine systematically. I only know a little bit." Lilia shook her head. She opened Chang Yufeng's eyes. The whites of his eyes were like a dying fish, all colored and terribly turbid.

"Reject my half-baked analysis..." Lilia's sweat dripped onto her dress, and her entire back was wet.

"he died……"

Lilia herself didn't seem to believe it, so her shock came down with the sweat she was sweating, shining a crystal-like luster on her white jade face.

"How is this possible!" Hall placed his hand on Chang Yufeng's heart, feeling his strong heartbeat and the rise and fall of his chest. How could this be the dead man that Lilia mentioned?

"Even if he is not dead...his consciousness has been taken away by someone..." Lilia corrected her words, pointed her magic wand at Chang Yufeng's head, and forced the green healing light into him again, but with tears in her eyes which were unimaginable.

"This phenomenon is very similar to that of the living dead... I once went to the village of the living dead with my mentor, and Jack was in this state! He had a heartbeat and a pulse, and he looked like he was asleep, but he was actually dead. His eyes were cloudy, his lungs were swollen, and his hands and feet were stiff."

Lilia grabbed Chang Yufeng's wrist and shook it. That really stiff wrist didn't look like the soul of a living person at all, but more like a creaking wooden door. When it moved, the joints and bones creaked and shook slowly. The blood and tendons were all tightly pulled together. It was unimaginable that his death was actually... living without life.

"Are you sure?" Hall was also shaking Chang Yufeng's calf, but it was also stiff and creaking. When he was carrying him and jumping and running just now, he didn't pay much attention to the sound of the armor.

Now that Lilia said this, he didn't know if it was all true...

"I'm not sure. If possible, I still need to confirm with my mentor..." Lilia flipped her bangs up, revealing her big, white and bright forehead.

"I need to give them both another detailed examination." Lilia grabbed Chang Yufeng's hand and used her magic wand to release green light like a detection light. Under the illumination of the magic wand, Chang Yufeng's knuckle bones quickly appeared in the light. Wherever Lilia shone the light, the bones there would appear.

She calmed down and slowly probed from Chang Yufeng's middle finger bone all the way up his arm. The more she looked at his bones, the more frightened she felt.

The pale bones turned a terrifyingly dark color under the green light. The foamy black blood entangled his tendons and bones, making his whole body stiffen. The creaking of his bones made it difficult for her to move his arms.

Chang Yufeng and Erica were still sleeping, but apparently only Chang Yufeng was like this. Lilia used the same detection method as before to check Erica's hand bones. Erica's hand bones were translucent under the green light, without any stiff texture at all.

And Erica's stiffness was simply due to the redness caused by the lack of blood circulation.

"But we are almost at Nanqi Town... We have to go back. If they don't wake up, we can only place them next to Nanqi Town." Hall stretched out Erica's arms and legs. Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed, he took out all the gold coin bags in his pocket and placed them in Erica's hands: "From now on, it's up to them... They have to pray for their own good luck..."

"How could he get this disease... When I just said I wanted to study medicine, he let me practice with my patients, and I also checked his bones... It shouldn't be like this. His bones were definitely that of a healthy person. It's absolutely impossible..." Lilia put down Chang Yufeng's arm and did not respond to Hall's meaning at all. She just heard that she continued to check Chang Yufeng's chest like a capable nurse, and observed Chang Yufeng's heartbeat through the detection light of the magic wand.

Under the green detection, Chang Yufeng's heart was like a crystal clear, beating core of light.

The light core, emitting from the inside, linked tiny blood vessels to transfuse blood to the surrounding muscles. Every flicker and beat was a tiny blood transfusion cycle. There was no bloody feeling, but it was also hard to feel the reality of being a human being.

"What is this?!" Lilia looked at the "heart" that was not a heart in surprise, and was actually frightened with excitement. Hall also looked at the beating light core in surprise. Lilia hurried to illuminate Erica's heart. The beating bloody heart was beating vigorously, and the tenacious vitality was transporting blood through blood vessels of varying thickness. However, Erica's heart beat fast, and it was obvious that she was a little anemic.

They looked at each other, but could only see the rare doubt in each other's eyes.

But they also suppressed their doubts and shock in an instant.

Chang Yufeng is not human.

This will become a secret for everyone. Because it is no longer important. The secret they accidentally discovered will only make them more determined to help Chang Yufeng escape from Fulan City. After all, there is more than one race in the spirit world. Other races have seen it so many times that they are used to it.

Chang Yufeng didn't tell them, but it didn't affect their rescue of Chang Yufeng.

In the struggle of chasing dragons and chasing tigers in Fulan City, Chang Yufeng's wanted order has been spread to every corner of Fulan City as expected, and the speed of spreading the order to other places is also very fast, and the notification will be sent down through the transmission point.

Soon, the portraits of Jack Nyman and Erica Nyman will be on the wanted list like many other wanted criminals in Fran.

It doesn’t matter whether they have evidence or not. What matters is that evidence cannot prevent this kind of wanted manhunt, which means jail time if caught.

"This morning, I heard my brother send out a notice that Jack and Erica are wanted. I quickly informed you to help them get out of the city." Hall lifted the curtain and looked at the trees that were rapidly receding outside the window. He seemed to understand where this place was. "We are about to reach Nanqi Town, and I must immediately go to the Flying Eagles to take up my mission. Otherwise, if they are suspicious, we will definitely implicate them even more."

Hall's blue eyes were so clear, completely different from the turbidity when Chang Yufeng closed his eyes. As for other parts, his heart was definitely not the kind of clean light core heart that supplied blood to the whole body.

"If you get close to them on a daily basis, you might be questioned by those perverts from the Tiger Chasing Sect. You must not leave for too long, or they can't find you."

Hall closed the curtain and looked seriously at Lilia who was trying to wake Erica up with the awakening spell. Lilia's whole body was soaked in sweat, and she responded to Hall.

The green healing light shone on Erica's forehead.

Hall continued, "We are from Wenti County, so we are old acquaintances. We will help wherever we can... If Erica can't be woken up, we can only leave them to our acquaintances in Nanqi Town. I have an uncle who grows grapes in Nanqi Town. We can hide them there."

"Thank you, Hall." Lilia lowered her voice, looked at Erica, and leaned close to Erica's forehead, feeling Erica's body temperature.

But Erica did not wake up either. Just like Chang Yufeng, she was struggling in a lingering sleepiness...

"It's my duty..." Hall nodded, his silver armor still shining. "Any help is a plus. They have lived with us for eight years, so we can be considered friends since we were young. But with this wanted warrant, the chances of meeting each other will become fewer and fewer in the future."

"Do you really want to join the army..."

"nature."

Lilia watched Hall nod naturally, then lowered her head and looked at Chang Yufeng's peaceful face. If you say he was really dead, his breath, pulse, and heart were all very alive. But if you say he was dead, he was definitely dead without any spirit. The black bones and black blood... were all shocking.

It's like someone has taken away my soul...and it's so strange that it makes no sense.

I have absolutely no idea what's wrong with him.

The carriage was speeding, just like time was passing by in a hurry. You say, a person suddenly became a wanted criminal...

If we really want to know the reason, it is the result of people fighting each other. In the game called power, killing people from other factions in large numbers seems like a different kind of justice.

"Chang Yufeng..."

Suddenly... someone called his name...

"I'm already dead..." he replied.

"How could you die..." The person seemed to be a beautiful woman, wearing a green dress, with long sleeves fluttering, as if dancing in the wind. It was a vast white cloud, hidden under the blue sky, touching the green grass, and caressing the child's face.

The sheep slowly lay down... and transformed into a well-behaved boy with a golden glow, sleeping peacefully on the grass...

Suddenly, he rolled over... As he turned over, the fragrance of the grass attracted his nose, and then he faced the blue sky above the white clouds... and yawned slowly.

"Ah... I want to... have a good sleep... a good sleep."

Chang Yufeng slept peacefully on the grass, like a reckless Chinese character "大", wandering in the ocean of breeze, smiling timidly, but unable to smile, and could only move the corners of his mouth slightly...

That smile was so peaceful.

"Your wish... is to leave?"

The woman stood next to Chang Yufeng, seemingly blocking the sunlight for him.

"After leaving this world... can you really sleep peacefully..."

"No...but I'm too tired...I need to rest..."

Chang Yufeng took a deep breath, his chest lifted up, he sobbed, then he exhaled and fell into a peaceful sleep.

"There are many people who need you to save... My child... You can't rest here..."

The woman slowly squatted down and stroked Chang Yufeng's head, as if she was stroking a well-behaved child...

Chang Yufeng was a child... so he suddenly started to act coquettishly... and fell asleep quietly under the caress of the palm.

"I can't save them... You know... I can't save them... Whether I am weak... or strong... I will fail..."

"But...how can you bear to watch them die..."

"Then I will shed tears for them silently..."

"Don't you want to save them?"

"I want to...but I can't..."

She looked into her child's eyes, those clear black eyes, bright and shining.

"You can do it... but you are avoiding it..."

"I didn't run away..."

"You are running away from who you used to be..."

"I didn't run away..."

Her hands were so gentle, caressing...her own child.

"Your courage...at that moment...was lost..."

"I don't have the courage..."

"Cheer up, my child... You can do it... Save them..."

"I can only watch them die..."

"You can save them..."

"I'm not a savior... I don't have the obligation to save so many people..."

"Of course you have no obligation to save them... but your heart tells you to save them... and you will definitely do it without hesitation... You are a child who will do it without hesitation for the kindness in your heart. Many people are like this... They are your role models..."

She smiled and put her hands on his face to wipe away the tears that were slowly flowing down his cheeks...

"Mother... where are you...?"

He cried...

"I'm so tired... I didn't protect Lin'er at all... I didn't protect anyone at all... I let them get hurt... I watched them get hurt... I watched myself... I couldn't do anything..."

"I am watching you from heaven... my child... I am never far from your side..." She smiled gently, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were revealed. The years had so many edges and corners... that they looked like dark star marks...

"My dear child... You have worked so hard over the years... When I am not around, please face everything bravely... I am sorry that I cannot be with you..."

Her tears flowed down... dripping on Chang Yufeng's face...

"Mother...Mom...don't cry..."

"I love you very much, my child... Please take with you the courage that I and your father have that is unique in this world... and live on bravely..."

"What exactly is courage... I still don't understand... I am always searching in confusion... but I always lose my way..."

He cried and closed his eyes deeply.

Even with his eyes closed, he could see his mother's kind face.

The white traces of those years have never gone away...

“To do things that make those around you smile from the bottom of their hearts and never give up is courage.”

"If you want to give to others without expecting anything in return, that is courage..."

"To rescue others from danger and water is courage..."

"Courage is your heart..."
