The drug took effect quickly, and in less than a cup of tea, the man in black reacted.

After the drug took full effect, the man in black slowly opened his eyes.

At this time, his eyes were still confused, and Gu Lingyue was not in a hurry. She just sat there waiting for him.

At this time, the man in black was completely awake.

Seeing this, Gu Lingyue raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you awake?"

Hearing a voice, a woman's voice, he quickly sat up from the bed and glanced at Gu Lingyue with sharp eyes.

When he realized that he did not know the woman in front of him, he immediately became alert.

"Who are you? Where am I now?" His voice was sharp, as if he could attack at any time.

As he spoke, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, but he found that everything he saw was unfamiliar, something he had never seen before. Could it be that... he was dead? Was he going to heaven?

Gu Lingyue smiled at him calmly.

"Don't be nervous. I won't hurt you. If I wanted to, I would just leave you alone. There's no need to go to great lengths to save you."

The man believed what Gu Lingyue said. He did not sense any murderous intent from Gu Lingyue. However, he was not that naive. He knew that the woman in front of him must have her own purpose in saving him.

"Thank you for rescuing me, but I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm afraid I can't help you." The man said indifferently.

Gu Lingyue was a little amused, "You know what I asked you to do, and you said you couldn't help me?"

She didn't ask you how you knew I needed your help. In the adult world, asking like that is too childish. There is no gain without hard work. This is an eternal truth.

"You are a dying man, how do you think I can help you?" The man laughed at himself, but his voice was filled with reluctance and sadness, as well as a reluctance to let go of something.

Gu Lingyue didn't think about it too much. She felt that it was someone else's business and had nothing to do with her. She just wanted to know the solution to the corpse poison.

Gu Lingyue said: "You don't have to do anything, I just have a few questions to ask you."

"Okay, as long as I know, I will tell you everything as a reward for saving me from those people." Although the man's tone was light, it revealed determination and persistence.

"You know about Corpse Gu, right?" Gu Lingyue confirmed. "I want to know how to cure it. Also, how many people like you are used to raise Gu? What kind of Gu are they?"

After she found many worms in his body, Gu Lingyue guessed that the man in front of her was being used as a mother to raise Gu.

The man shook his head and said, "I don't know how to cure a corpse poison on a living person, but as for a corpse, it's afraid of fire. As long as you burn it, it will die completely. Besides that, even if you chop off the dead person's limbs, it won't work. It's still alive and will crawl out of the decomposed corpse and enter other corpses.

Moreover, it can host any corpse, whether it is a human corpse or an animal corpse, or a living person or animal. The difference is that it can control the corpse as soon as it enters, but it can only completely control the living person or thing after they die.

As for the Matrix you mentioned, I don't know how many there are. Every time I wake up, they cover my head with something, and I have no idea where they are, let alone how many people there are."

Upon hearing this, Gu Lingyue was glad that she had hit the target by accident when she was in the secret passage. She used fire attack, otherwise the consequences would be troublesome. Although she would not be hit, it would still take some effort to solve the problem.

Gu Lingyue felt that with this information, her efforts to save the man in black were not in vain. At least she now had a direction to deal with the corpse poison, and she also knew about the existence of the Matrix.

The man became particularly energetic at this time. She knew that his time had come and this was his last gasp.

"What's your name? Do you want me to leave my name on your tombstone? Or do you have any unfulfilled wishes? As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best." Gu Lingyue looked at him and said.

The man was stunned, and looked at Gu Lingyue, with a somewhat excited expression, "Can you... go to the yard where you found me and see if there is a little girl there, then find her and send her to Prince Jing's Mansion."

Hearing his words, Gu Lingyue looked at the man with complicated eyes.

Is the little girl he was talking about Yingying? Then who is he to Yingying?

The man thought Gu Lingyue disagreed, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, you won't look for her in vain. Prince Jing will definitely not treat you unfairly when the time comes. If you don't want to, you can tell the people in Prince Jing's Mansion and say that Wei Xin asked you to do it. Let them go and look for her. They won't make things difficult for you." When he said this, there was a pleading tone in the man's voice.

"You said your name is Wei Xin?" Gu Lingyue asked in surprise.

Hearing Gu Lingyue's tone, Wei Xin felt a little doubtful, "You... know me?"

But why didn't he have any memory of this woman? Did he forget or did she only know his name?

Gu Lingyue curled her lips, "I guess so. I've heard of your name and know someone you know, so I kind of know you."

She didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world. The man in black she saved turned out to be Wei Xin.

However, when she thought of Wei Yingying she found there, she felt that it was normal. She just had too many things to do today and didn't think too much about it.

"Who is the girl?" There was some anticipation in Wei Xin's eyes. He felt a little comforted that he could see someone he was familiar with when he was about to die.

"My name is Gu Lingyue, and I'm Long Shang's princess."

The man's eyes became moist when he heard this. He didn't expect that the one who saved him was Princess Jing.

When he was occasionally awake, he heard his Yingying say that her sister Yue was very good to her.

It turned out that God was good to Wei Xin. At least he could rest in peace even if he died.

Caught off guard, Wei Xin knelt down before Gu Lingyue, "Princess..."

"Get up first, and we'll talk later." Gu Lingyue interrupted him.

Wei Xin insisted on kneeling, "Please, Princess, save Yingying. She is right where you saved me..."

When Wei Xin was about to continue speaking, Gu Lingyue took him out of the space, and then Wei Xin saw Wei Yingying lying on the bed with a haggard face and sleeping uneasily.

The words he was about to say stopped abruptly, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes.

Wei Xin struggled to get up from the ground, walked to the bedside and stretched out his trembling hands, wanting to touch Wei Yingying, but he was afraid of waking her up, so he finally held back and just whispered, "Yingying, I'm so glad you're okay. Do you know that Daddy was very worried about you?"

Gu Lingyue stood by and listened quietly. She didn't want to disturb him, but she thought that he didn't have much time, and Wei Yingying was obviously stimulated by something that caused her to shut herself off in her own world. In the end, she told Wei Xin about his daughter's current situation.

Wei Xin said, looking at Gu Lingyue in shock, "Then...will Yingying be okay?"

"Yes." Gu Lingyue affirmed: "As long as the cause is found, it can be cured."

"Please! Please save Yingying, she is really well-behaved." As Wei Xin was about to kneel down again, he was stopped by Gu Lingyue.
