Ch 150: Mermaid
Hearing the instructions, Gu Yunxi, without any hesitation, used Ability Enhancement on Xia Yida, who then attempted to activate her Special Ability.
Previously at the Stronghold, she had proactively used her Special Ability to secure a chance to travel with her companions. Now, she was searching for that same feeling.
Xia Yida’s Energy scattered within the card’s protective shield. Ji Chuan felt a sense of despair. Song Ci’s Protective Shield seemed to isolate everything; Xia Yida’s Energy couldn’t spill out. Was there still hope?
Just as Ji Chuan was contemplating other possibilities for survival, Xia Yida’s Bag moved.
Xia Yida had carefully chosen a pretty Bag for her long journey, containing daily necessities. Now, the Bag was moving on its own, and a colorful ball jumped out.
“It’s Xiao Tuan. How did it get in there?”
Ji Chuan found it strange, but Xia Yida discovered that everything in her Bag was empty. Inside Xiao Tuan’s transparent body, she could still see some undigested lipstick, medicine bottles, and other things.
Was this the key to solving the current problem? Ji Chuan watched the mascot, Xiao Tuan, and tried giving it a command.
“Xiao Tuan, make Zhou Mi fall asleep?”
He wasn’t sure if Xiao Tuan could do it, but he had to try.
“Pujī.”
As if understanding, Xiao Tuan immediately jumped onto Zhou Mi’s head. Luminous powder sprinkled from Xiao Tuan’s body, and Zhou Mi instantly felt drowsy and fell down.
He saw the time screen. In this critical situation, he had to buy Ji Chuan more time. He suddenly felt new Energy surging into his body.
Gu Yunxi was enhancing Zhou Mi. She wasn’t sure if her Ability would have any effect on Zhou Mi’s Special Ability, but it was the only thing she could do at the moment.
Zhou Mi saw the time panel rapidly rewinding. In his dream, he had already started to have a nosebleed, but he ignored it and forcefully shouted, continuing to rewind, gradually losing consciousness.
Mao Jun stared blankly at Ji Chuan. This person with a powerful aura must be the King of the Stronghold. His contemptuous gaze towards a stranger like himself deeply stung him.
“King, I am…”
“Your Special Ability will enhance after you suffer. I will arrange for Xiao Mei to train you. Just endure it.”
“Ah, thank you, Master, for your grace!”
Heavens, the King was meeting him for the first time, yet understood him so well?! This must be paradise! Mao Jun’s Loyalty rapidly increased; he had already begun to anticipate his future life.
Ji Chuan had discovered that this rewind was approximately a week ago. Remembering that after the last one-day rewind, Zhou Mi’s body had suffered severe discomfort, he had to check on Zhou Mi’s condition first.
When he arrived at Zhou Mi’s Room, he found An’an crying beside Zhou Mi.
“Baba, wake up! Baba, wake up!”
Zhou Mi on the ground was pale, his vital signs extremely weak. Seeing Ji Chuan enter, An’an quickly grabbed his clothes.
“Brother Ji Chuan, save Baba! Baba suddenly collapsed.”
Ji Chuan immediately used Holy Healing Radiance on Zhou Mi, but it had no effect.
Ji Chuan understood that Zhou Mi’s abnormality was due to excessive Energy consumption. Unlike others, his method of Energy consumption, rewinding time, was like overdrawing his life.
The last time, Zhou Mi had recuperated for a long time.
Ji Chuan looked at Zhou Mi’s pale lips, feeling somewhat self-reproachful. He hadn’t expected the Different World to have such Monsters. That enraged Black Dragon was only trying to escape the Black Shadow’s hunt.
What kind of place was this Different World…
But now, Ji Chuan had tried many types of Healing Abilities, none of which had improved Zhou Mi’s condition. Overdrawing one’s life couldn’t be cured with Abilities.
“I’m sorry, An’an. Brother can’t cure your father…”
Ji Chuan was very sad. He was the person most skilled in Healing Abilities in this Stronghold, and now, no one else was proficient in healing…
Healing Ability… Ji Chuan suddenly remembered that Zhou Yu’an, a Golden Crystal Core【 Mermaid】, possessed a Healing Ability.
“An’an, have you ever used your Special Ability?”
Seemingly stunned by Ji Chuan’s words, An’an said through tears, “My Special Ability is useless. I can only blow pretty bubbles.”
“An’an, think carefully. Have you ever had any experiences healing others? Or are there any special things about you compared to others? For example, did someone get better when they were sick and with you? Or did your actions help someone recover from an injury? This is very important for your father.”
“Important for Baba…”
An’an fell into her memories. Did she have any experience healing others? She didn’t know how to heal, but Brother Ji Chuan’s words must have their reason.
She seemed to actually have something special. An’an suddenly remembered when she was playing with Xiao Xuan and broke her leg. That was the first time she was injured after the Apocalypse.
Her blood seemed to have a strange glow. Xiao Xuan even said her blood was like a rainbow, and the injured An’an had laughed when praised by Xiao Xuan.
“My blood is like a rainbow!”
An’an said loudly, unsure if this counted as something special.
Hearing An’an’s words, Ji Chuan was puzzled. Blood like a rainbow? What did that mean? A childish remark?
Suddenly, he remembered a scene from an anime he had watched where someone ate Mermaid meat and gained immortality. Could An’an’s blood have healing properties?
“An’an, are you afraid of pain? Your blood might be able to save your father.”
This was also a possibility that Ji Chuan considered. Although his Ability couldn’t bring someone back from the dead, treating external wounds was more than enough.
“As long as it can save Baba, An’an isn’t afraid of pain.”
Hearing that there was hope of saving her father, An’an wiped away her tears.
Ji Chuan carefully used a piece of metal to cut An’an’s arm. To get the blood flowing, he needed a rather deep cut. Although An’an was in great pain, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
The blood that flowed out was like a brilliant galaxy, shining with multicolored luster. Ji Chuan carefully dripped An’an’s blood into Zhou Mi’s mouth.
Zhou Mi’s lips visibly became rosy, and his vital signs rapidly recovered. Ji Chuan was surprised to discover that An’an’s blood could restore life force!
Zhou Mi slowly opened his eyes. “Leader…”
“This time, it’s thanks to you. Get some rest. An’an saved you. Her blood can restore life force.”
Zhou Mi was puzzled. An’an saved me? Wasn’t An’an’s Ability to blow bubbles?
Green light covered An’an’s body. An’an’s wound healed, and she felt no more pain. Her father had also awakened.
Sure enough, everything Brother Ji Chuan said and instructed was correct. This time, Father’s recovery was thanks to Brother Ji Chuan’s reminder. From now on, she would listen to Brother Ji Chuan even more.
Ji Chuan discovered that as long as there was a single breath remaining, he and An’an, working together, could bring someone back from the dead. He hadn’t expected An’an to be such a treasure. He felt fortunate that he had been kind enough to save the father and daughter.
He couldn’t use their Abilities; he couldn’t fall asleep to activate Rewind, and his blood only turned people into Zombies.
His past decisions were fortunate. In the next seven days, he had to find a way to deal with the two-faced Black Shadow.
He once said that his Energy was too mixed to be the God of Death, which meant he only had one type of Death-related Energy Ability.
His “mixed” nature was also his advantage. A week later, he had to make a miracle happen.
