Chapter 517: 517

In the central area of Shadow City, at the medical center.

A girl in a light yellow dress lay quietly in a medical cabin, similar to a sleeping princess. The normally fierce or sly smile had faded from her delicate face, leaving only tranquility and soft beauty. A few playful strands of hair rested on her cheeks, adding a touch of liveliness to her slightly pale face. It was an unfamiliar sight for such a Miss, and looking at the girl in front of me, I felt like she was a completely different person.

“This girl, when she’s quiet, she’s actually pretty.”

There was no one around, so naturally I was just muttering to myself.

Lin Xue had been lying here for one night and was still deep asleep. Her stubbornness had exceeded my expectations, and I hadn’t anticipated things would get so complicated.

Her eyes had been scorched blind by herself.

Of course, we cured her in about two minutes.

Got you scared, huh?

The real issue wasn’t her physical injuries. Although the scene of her blood and tears had made me break out in a cold sweat, as she herself had said, it was just a “minor injury” caused by an overflow of energy. What truly needed a slow recovery was her out-of-control prediction ability.

Allowing the fragile human spirit to recklessly delve into the chaotic future scenes, using a singular perspective to discern one true moment from the endless flows of history, this concept was abstract enough to make one’s head spin. Under normal circumstances, the extraction of future facts was automatically completed by her abilities, but…

What if the function used to filter such massive information is currently crashed?

That was the situation with Lin Xue. Due to overusing her powers to peek into the truth from a million years ago and foreseeing the future of a “Magic Cube” she completely couldn’t comprehend, the part of her predictive ability responsible for selecting facets of the future had been forced to shut down. However, her “eyes” uncontrollably kept working, a massive amount of information bombarding the girl’s spiritual world. If an ordinary person experienced all this, not to mention whether such immense brain activity could instantaneously fry the brain, even if one had the physical condition to handle such data, one would instantly become lost in the intricate scenes of the future, never able to separate reality from illusion, forever trapped in a series of distorted illusions.

Of course, Lin Xue wasn’t so unlucky. Her spiritual power was strong enough to combat this level of misinformation, and in order to minimize the damage she suffered, we had managed to place her into a deep sleep. We also used the medical cabin’s energy to suppress her mental activity as much as possible—this wasn’t an easy task. A Leader-level Apostle’s spiritual power was immense, and, considering Lin Xue could penetrate the future just with her spiritual power and specialized in using skills from the Mysterious system, even a foldable medical cabin had very limited effects when facing Lin Xue’s spiritual power. Just one night had passed, and the effects of the medical cabin were almost nil.

This is why I am here early in the morning, in the empty medical center, to suppress Lin Xue’s rampaging spiritual power. We had two options: one was to gather a massive amount of energy to form a suppressive pressure field to forcefully suppress her power from the outside; the second was to use my abilities to intervene with her spiritual power to achieve a diversion. Anyone with a mind higher than zero could figure out which method was safer.

“You really are a headache.”

Helplessly gazing at the unresponsive Miss who was soundly asleep, I shrugged my shoulders, and just as I began to stretch my somewhat stiff body,
