    Chapter 62 (Catching Insects)

    “But Xia Xia, are you okay?” Ji Chenshi suddenly became quiet as if he had seen something again, and then said with concern in a calm tone, “I saw a video of you suspected of being surrounded…”

    “Oh, it’s okay.” Sensing the worry of the two of them, Xia Zhou continued to explain, “It was a bit scary at first, but my brother happened to show up in time, so it’s okay.”

    “There are so many famous people, but it’s okay. I’ll have experience in the future… What’s that ding-ding-dong-dong sound of yours? Are you pressed for work?”

    Chu Yue was still comforting Xia Zhou here, while Ji Chenshi’s message sound effects were ringing over there.

    “Damn! Lingle went berserk, Xia Xia!”

    After a period of silence, Ji Chenshi suddenly opened the microphone and dropped a huge thunder.

    “What did you say!?”

    After hearing the news about Lingle’s rampage, Xia Zhou panicked for a moment, sat up straight from the sofa, held the terminal tightly and asked.

    “I don’t know the specific situation. There should be someone…”

    In the terminal, Ji Chenshi was still talking about something, but a sudden knock on the door attracted Xia Zhou’s attention.

    “Ling Le!!!”

    Quickly opening the door to his home, Xia Zhou lost his balance and almost bumped into Yan Mu who was waiting outside the door.

    “Assistant Yan…”

    “Mr. Xia, I’m sorry to disturb you at this point. We will discuss the details on the way. Please pack up quickly. The vehicle is already waiting downstairs.”

    Yan Mu politely gave Xia Zhou a hand, and his voice was full of calmness.

    “Okay, wait a moment, I’ll be right away!”

    After quickly cleaning himself up, Xia Zhou learned about Lingle’s current situation on the way to the Ling family’s old house.

    “…Although the reason why Young Master Ling went berserk has not yet been found out, we have recovered some information from the terminal he crushed. According to the time, he should have finally seen your photo, Mr. Xia…”

    “…We have also recovered some communication records…well, most of them are related to you, Mr. Xia…”

    “…Master Ling was quickly subdued after his rampage, but he has been resisting since he woke up, and even tried to break through the level restrictions… His mental condition is not very optimistic at this stage. Although supervision measures have been taken, he is still unable to contact outsiders…”

    Looking at the photos displayed by Yan Mu on the light board, Xia Zhou’s eyes evaded for a moment, but upon hearing Lingle’s current state, uneasiness and anxiety quickly swept through his heart.

    Along the way, Xia Zhou repeatedly worked on his mental construction.

    With apologies to Lingle, Xia Zhou silently followed Yan Mu into the door of Ling’s house.

    Surprisingly, Xia Zhou was not taken to the place where Lingle was being supervised.

    After being guided to sit down in a room similar to a lounge, Xia Zhou saw Yan Mu leaving and immediately stood up anxiously, “Can you take me to see Lingling?”

    “I’m sorry, Mr. Xia, Mr. Ling is currently in a mental disorder and is highly aggressive. Mr. Ling has ordered that no one else be allowed to test you. Although the purpose of inviting you here is just in case, but considering your personal safety…”

    Listening to Yan Mu’s repeated clichés, the anxiety accumulated along the way turned into rage. At this moment, Xia Zhou only had one thought in his mind: to take a look at Lingling.

    Is there any way…

    Ling Yunting!

    Seeing the figure flashing past outside the corridor, Xia Zhou didn’t even think about it, he bypassed Yan Mu in front of him and quickly chased after him.

    “Mr. Ling!”

    “Please let me see Lingle!”

    Ling Yunting, who was stopped, turned around, looked at Xia Zhou lightly, and then his eyes met Yan Mu who was coming behind him.

    “Mr. Ling, I am explaining to Mr. Xia…”

    “Explaining something is not the point right now!” Xia Zhou took a step forward anxiously, and began to persuade him with all his strength.

    “Please let me see Lingle. I should… no, I will definitely help. Doesn’t it mean that Aling’s consciousness is confused now? As long as we can enter his conscious world and repair his mental picture, we can definitely bring him back!”

    “If you fail, then maybe there will be two madmen.” Not moved by Xia Zhou’s statement, Ling Yunting calmly stated the possible consequences of failure.

    Withdrawing his gaze, Ling Yunting glanced at the terminal, turned and walked towards the stairs.

    No, we can’t let him leave here.

    Xia Zhou knew what Ling Yunting said.Due to the many times of contact and treatment with Lingling, the spiritual world of the two people has become more and more closely connected. Now Lingling’s confusion makes Xia Zhou even more restless.

    Sensing the other party’s intention to leave, Xia Zhou took the first step and blocked the stairs, as if he would not let him leave unless the other party agreed.

    “You want to stop me.” Faced with Xia Zhou’s blocking posture, Ling Yunting’s eyes flashed with interest.

    As Ling Yunting finished speaking, a figure gradually formed on his shoulder.

    It was a black raven.

    With its eyes like a torch and its hooked beak hard, the raven’s dark pupils stared straight at Xia Zhou with a cold sense of insight. Its spread wings showed a dreamy blue-purple metallic luster in the sunlight.

    Even in the moment of confrontation, Xia Zhou first subconsciously observed the state of his mental body.

    After coming back to his senses, Xia Zhou did not give in at all in the face of the mental body’s silent aggressive posture.

    The two of them faced off like this until the constantly vibrating terminal on Ling Yunting’s wrist broke the stalemate.

    “Let’s go, I’ll take you to see him.”

    Quickly processing the messages received on the terminal, Ling Yunting quickly made a decision.

    “Oh, okay, thank you.”

    I don’t know what caused the other party to suddenly change his mind. Xia Zhou had no time to care about it at the moment. He was preoccupied with Lingling’s current situation.

    “You have 30 minutes. If you are unable to enter Xiaole’s conscious world, the medical team will determine whether to forcibly interrupt your spiritual link based on your monitoring results.”

    Arriving outside the surveillance room, Xia Zhou saw Lingling huddled in the corner through the one-way mirror.

    After quickly giving instructions to the medical team, Ling Yunting then asked the medical staff to put on the monitoring equipment for Xia Zhou.

    Regardless of continuing to observe Li Le’s condition, Xia Zhou looked at Ling Yunting in shock, “Do you agree to let me have a spiritual link with Aling!?”

    Ling Yunting was silent for a moment, and then gave a reply,

    “Based on the current situation and your personal wishes, I think you can give it a try. After all, you bear the main risk. If you think about it, just sign this.”

    After receiving the letter of intent to voluntarily assume risks from Yan Zhu, Xia Zhou slid directly to the end of the document and signed his name neatly.

    Ling Yunting: “…”

    With Ling Yunting’s instructions, the medical team began to inject sedative and hypnotic gas into the monitoring room. After confirming that Ling Le had indeed lost consciousness, the medical staff operated the robotic arm and transferred Ling Le to the equipment recliner.

    After confirming that the restraint straps were tightly wound and the monitoring equipment was worn, the medical staff opened a small window on the wall of the monitoring room and used a robotic arm to place Lin Le’s arm on the extension table.

    “The monitoring equipment is operating normally. Mr. Xia, you can start the link when you are ready.”

    Lying on the same recliner with the same equipment, Xia Zhou looked at Lingle’s hands and nodded to the medical staff beside him.

    pain.

    The moment his hand attached to Lingle’s palm, pain also followed.

    “Increase the strength of the muscle relaxant in your arms! Pay attention to the heart rate value!”

    The warning sound of the monitoring equipment in his ears and the quick response of the medical staff were intertwined, gradually blurring Xia Zhou’s consciousness.

    Even unconsciously, Lingle’s body’s instinctive reaction to someone else’s touch was still surprisingly sharp.

    Is this the physical fitness of someone close to S level?

    Feeling the effects of the sedative gradually taking hold, Xia Zhou forced himself to ignore the pain in his palms and slowly closed his eyes.

    When I opened my eyes again, the small beach in front of me was no longer warm, but seemed to have been eroded by the violent storm, with various objects scattered on the beach.

    “Woo…roar!”

    Hearing this roar, which was different from the usual, Xia Zhou instinctively entered a state of preparation for war and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

    In the grass, Xiao Bai, who was originally docile and cute, now tensed up, his tail drooped, and he let out a low growl from his chest, seeming to be wary of Xia Zhou, the intruder.

    “Xiaobai…do you still remember me?”

    Instead of rashly stepping forward, Xia Zhou slowly squatted down, clenched his hands into loose fists, placed them on the ground with the backs of his hands facing up, and spoke to Xiao Bai gently at the same time.

    Realizing that Xia Zhou’s posture was not aggressive, Xiao Bai took a few steps closer to Xia Zhou, and then stopped at a distance not too far or too close, with a wary look on his face.

    Realizing that he couldn’t start exploring without getting rid of Xiaobai first, Xia Zhou summoned Snowball.

    As soon as the soft ragdoll cat appeared, it immediately attracted Xiaobai’s attention.

    “Huh?”

    “Snowball, be good, go play with Xiaobai for a while.”

    Gently pushing the snowball, Xia Zhou gave the order in a soft voice. However, the delicate little puppet was disgusted with the messy environment. He was only pushed a few steps and then lazily settled in place.

    Looking helplessly at the fluffy backs, Xia Zhou sighed. They were all little ancestors.

    Fortunately, Snowball’s attraction to Xiaobai was still huge, but Xia Zhou was distracted, and Kitten Ball was taken away by the sneaky Yeye.

    Seeing Xiaobai protecting the cat in his arms and continuing to observe Xia Zhou with vigilance, Xia Zhou was amused and helpless, and then began to observe the surroundings.

    The beach is still the same beach, and the island is still the same island.

    Seeing that the island in the sea was still so far away from the coastline, Xia Zhou began to think about how to get closer.

    After searching on the beach, Xia Zhou unexpectedly found a small boat that had been overturned by strong winds, and an inconspicuous canvas next to it.

    Looking at the canvas that almost blended into the background, Xia Zhou sighed. He didn’t expect that this was a “hidden” boat. It seemed that this was one of the ways to get to the island in the sea.

    Time passed by minute by second, and the longer Xia Zhou stayed, the worse the weather on the beach became.

    Can’t wait any longer.

    After confirming that the hull of the small sailboat was intact, Xia Zhou found a few pieces of wood to use as oars, and thus started his rough sailing trip.

    As the boat got closer, the wind and waves on the sea suddenly became stronger.

    Dark clouds shrouded the sky over the island, blocking out the sun. The howling wind whipped up huge waves, throwing the small sailboat up and then crashing down. Xia Zhou struggled to put his hands on both sides of the hull, trying to keep his balance.

    Just when Xia Zhou thought he had stabilized, the world began to spin, and the salty water rushed directly to his face.

    The boat capsized.
