SIATOWITF Chapter 85

Chapter 85: Rampage After Soul Stitching, Chaotic Memories

“We’ve received an invitation to a ball.”

The moment the last sliver of his soul returned, a pale blue light screen unfolded in the air.

Yu Li held up a gold-embossed envelope, waving it back and forth in the screen.

“I think I need a new outfit. After all, it sounds like fun.” Nan Sheng squeezed past Yu Li, craning her neck to look.

“How’s the recovery going?”

“All stitched up.” Ji Mo An poked at his soul, now restored as before. His semi-transparent finger pressed down without resistance.

Such a strange feeling. Ji Mo An shivered.

“Can we come in?” Nan Sheng was quite happy, her ear fins fluttering like a pair of butterfly wings.

“Of course, Lady Nan Sheng.” The tailor tidied up the remaining needles and thread, placing them one by one back into his portable box.

“Then, I shall not disturb the Lords’ conversation.”

He carefully fastened each buckle on the box, bowed again, and gave a gentlemanly salute.

“The tailor sent you more clothes again?” Nan Sheng slipped in from outside, crossing her legs with interest as she sat down in the soft ‘cotton candy’ chair.

“I haven’t even worn the ones he gave me before. It’s mainly that what he sends…” The snake muttered, leading Ji Mo An’s soul back to his body.

“I suspect his hobby is just tailoring clothes for you.” Nan Sheng carefully examined Ji Mo An’s forehead. “Not bad, can’t see anything at all. Just lie down to get back into your body, but…”

“Why don’t you try using your ability? It’ll be easier to control in a pure soul state and more intuitive.”

Control his ability, that powerful ability?

Ji Mo An was somewhat tempted.

“Nan Sheng, what’s with the invitation?” Xuan Bai, seeing Ji Mo An’s expression, quietly snuck behind him.

The snake didn’t want to become a flattened snake and worked hard to change the subject.

“That? It’s from Losder. That kid’s throwing a ball halfway up a mountain and sent invitations to all of us. Secretly, he wrote the invitation he sent to the boss in gold ink. Special treatment.” Nan Sheng conjured three gold-embossed envelopes and handed them to Xuan Bai.

“Halfway up a mountain, which mountain?” The snake tore open the envelope, eagerly holding it up to Ji Mo An.

“Everest.”

“That counts as a mountain?” The snake almost tore the invitation in half.

“Why wouldn’t it count as a mountain?”

“Wait a minute.” Ji Mo An spotted the blind spot. “When you say halfway up, how high is that?”

“Six thousand meters, maybe? Yu Li even took a job, something about recovering corpses from the summit. He took it at twenty percent below the market price. Big profiteer.” Nan Sheng narrowed her eyes, calculating.

“Last time we took a plane, Xuan Bai was paralyzed halfway through the flight. Aren’t you afraid of heights?”

“Afraid? It hurts like hell once we’re over a thousand meters above the ground.” Nan Sheng said as a matter of course.

“Then who’s going to fight the traitor?” The snake looked blank.

“Not me, anyway.” The mermaid shrugged.

“Is the boss going to fight?” The snake was even more confused by Nan Sheng’s indifferent expression.

“He’s even more shattered. He doesn’t even plan on going.”

“Then who’s going to fight…”

The two bosses stopped talking at the same time, turning their gazes strangely.

“…” Ji Mo An felt his hair stand on end as they stared at him, incredulously pointing at himself.

“Me?” He didn’t think he could do it.

“Don’t worry, you’re a ruthless guy who can pin Bo Bo Snake to the ground and beat him up. It’s the taking part that counts. A masquerade ball, I want to look beautiful.” Nan Sheng smiled brightly.

“No, I don’t think I can…”

“Darling, you have two choices now.” Nan Sheng smiled, pressing down on his shoulders and ignoring the snake’s dissatisfied sounds.

“First, restore your memories now, but that means going back to sleep for another twenty-four hours. Second, restore your memories naturally. The advantage is that it’s gentler, but you might not remember everything at once. Like squeezing toothpaste.”

“I…” Ji Mo An was about to speak, but Nan Sheng’s eyes suddenly darkened.

“But the masquerade ball starts in forty-eight hours, and we’re not planning on opening a portal. That would cause serious secondary damage.” She quickly interrupted Ji Mo An.

“Don’t worry, your ability will help you sort everything out. I’ll help you choose the second option.”

“Okay, how are we planning on getting there?” Ji Mo An already understood the other party’s attitude. It seemed like two choices, but in reality…

“Grandfather approved a helicopter for us.” Nan Sheng smiled and grabbed the snake by the collar.

“Something’s not right. Don’t let him fall asleep.” The mermaid’s eyes were devoid of laughter as she whispered in the snake’s ear during the scuffle.

–

The base seemed to suddenly become busy.

The bosses from beyond the stars didn’t stand on ceremony at all, acting like they were the owners of the Seventh Bureau.

“You really think I can beat Losder?” Ji Mo An was still in a soul-separated state, looking hesitantly at the small ball the snake had placed on the table.

“Don’t put so much pressure on yourself.” Xuan Bai turned into a half-snake form, hooking Ji Mo An’s ankle with his tail.

“We have five hours for special training.”

“Losder will target you, including those ability users. The NHE Association and the Seventh Bureau have coexisted for so many years. It’s hard to say how much information he actually knows.” Ji Mo An pursed his lips, reaching out to touch the small ball. His fingertip effortlessly entered the ball.

“He will only target our planet, Losder is not to be feared.” Xuan Bai placed his hand over Ji Mo An’s hand from behind, carefully maintaining a distance from the soul.

“Relax, let the ball float above your palm. It’s very simple, let your body do it on its own. Ability users don’t need to learn basic ability manipulation.”

“Your soul has been completed, it won’t resist anymore.”

Let the ball float.

Ji Mo An stared at the small ball, repeating it quietly in his mind.

But the small ball didn’t move, not even rolling a bit.

His eyes were so sore… although he didn’t know why a soul would be sore…

Ji Mo An blinked, and a picture suddenly flashed through his mind.

[It was him, stretching out his hand, a mountain suspended in front of him.]

A feeling like an electric current passed through, sweeping across the entire soul in an instant.

His fingertips were hot, his body commanding his muscles faster than his brain.

Countless glittering light spots surged towards his fingertips, and the small ball suddenly floated up from the table, swaying and hovering twenty centimeters in the air.

“Easier than I thought.” Ji Mo An was a little surprised.

He moved his fingers, and the small ball obediently flew around in the air.

“Abilities are originally energies awakened from the soul level.” Xuan Bai breathed a sigh of relief where Ji Mo An couldn’t see.

“Humans enter the stars in soul form. At the moment of entry, the stars will create a more powerful body to carry the soul. That’s why humans can break through the limits of their bodies and awaken abilities.”

“Can you say all this now?” Ji Mo An pressed the small ball towards the ground again. Now the ball was extremely well-behaved.

“It’s okay, many companions have come, the world consciousness can’t take care of me now. And… after the soul is complete, you will also be recognized by the world as a human from the stars. It’s no problem for us to communicate.”

“From here to here.” The snake began to draw lines along Ji Mo An’s shoulders. “After the car accident, part of your soul dissipated. I used the soul before the rewind to complete you. But the soul that awakened the ability after the operation has lost most of it, and the rest is hidden in your subconscious, so the ability won’t awaken.”

“Then how did Jing Junze and the others awaken their abilities?” Ji Mo An was a little puzzled.

“Because they fused with the boss’s body, and their bodies broke through their limits. So their souls desperately wanted to match the body, and they stimulated the ability at the moment of progression. The boss’s vitality is very tenacious, which in human terms is called an unkillable cockroach.”

“But they won’t live long.” The snake suddenly lowered his voice.

“The human body will decay with age. When the balance between the soul and the body is broken, then they will die in an instant.”

“Fifty years at most. This kind of death is instantaneous, cannot be predicted in advance, and cannot be prevented in advance.”

“Will everyone?” Ji Mo An was stunned, and the ball in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

“Maybe Reyes won’t.” The snake shook his head. “I reported the fact that flesh and blood fusion ability users exist on Earth to the stars as soon as possible. So far, a total of one hundred and twenty-one bosses have come out to claim it. Among them, one hundred and fifteen strongly hope to kill the ability users who stole their flesh and blood, five bosses said they didn’t care, only Sara came to Earth, and clearly accepted Reyes.”

“An, the boss has always stood on the opposite side of human players, we are enemies, you will remember.”

“…” Enemy… Ji Mo An opened his mouth, and countless tragic scenes suddenly flashed through his mind.

[Bloodstained castle]

[A monster with a broken neck]

[Humans strung into kebabs and… him in the mirror holding a head in one hand]

These memories… Ji Mo An raised his head, and pushed the snake away the moment he met the snake’s golden vertical pupils.

He covered his mouth and took two steps back, his stomach churning.

So disgusting… so bloody…

He clearly heard the sound from his soul, as if a switch was pressed, crisp and sharp.

Then countless revolving lantern-like images poured into his mind, and the corpses of humans and monsters flashed before his eyes.

Headache…

It hurts so much…

[Hey, An. Soloing an A-level dungeon, you’re really amazing, do you want to join our guild?]

[I said, where did you go? How did you get yourself into this mess? This isn’t a high-level dungeon, is it?]

[We are conducting an experiment, are you interested in joining?]

[Really don’t consider it?]

[Letting you join is giving you face, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!]

“He… they… it hurts so much…” Ji Mo An covered his forehead, large swaths of blurry images flashed before his eyes, and countless noisy voices echoed in his mind.

[Why should you possess such a powerful ability!]

[Die!]

[Don’t… don’t kill me… they forced me to…]

Blood, corpses, wreckage and…

“Don’t stop those memories.” Xuan Bai suddenly pushed him hard, pushing his soul directly back into his body.

And a knife.

A knife… stabbing towards him.

“Get out…” As the images in front of him continued to switch, large black lines climbed up from the bottom of his eyes, entangling and seeming to strangle his throat, to fill his soul.

With a slight turn of his palm, Ji Mo An instantly summoned his weapon and waved it forward.

Someone pushed him, someone attacked him!

Ji Mo An seemed to have lost the ability to think. He raised his arm, and the star-patterned head of the staff hit Xuan Bai’s arm heavily.

“Hiss…” The snake gasped as he was hit, and the dark, shiny scales lost their luster at the moment of contact with the staff head, becoming loose and curled.

It was time to get serious. Xuan Bai drew his black knife from the void.

Clang!

The second attack landed on the blade, a series of sparks flying everywhere, and the overwhelming pressure almost forced the snake to kneel on the ground again.

Creak… creak…

Patches of blue barriers flashed across the inner walls of the room, and the gravity system in the space had been completely broken.

Some furniture was flattened on the ground, and some furniture floated in mid-air.

“It’s okay, attack me.” Xuan Bai took dozens of attacks in an instant with his knife, he could feel it.

His body was being pressed down hard by an invisible hand, but the blood and organs in his body were hitting the bones and wanted to float upwards.

Luckily, he was in good physical condition, otherwise he would have died one hundred and eighty times already.

Xuan Bai shook his tail, and a few streaks of blood flowed from his mouth and floated into the sky.

“Fortunately, Nan Sheng noticed it in time. If we had chosen to sleep and restore our memories, we probably wouldn’t have been able to wake up… Goodness, such a serious rampage.”

As the witch’s voice sounded, blue flames appeared in mid-air with a pop, but were quickly swayed left and right by the unstable gravity environment.

“I still have to do it myself.” Nan Sheng’s proud voice came from the flames.

“It’s been a long time since we kissed that I’ve been beaten so badly.” Scales from a certain love-struck brain were falling all over the ground, and he had to start fighting back with all his strength.

The black blade and the silver staff collided constantly, and everything in the wake of the surging energy became a mess.

“Bobos, the system can’t hold on anymore, end the battle before it collapses.”

“His ability is a bug, if he was even a little weaker, I wouldn’t be getting beaten so badly!” Xuan Bai could hear the sound of bones shattering in his body every time he swung his arm.

Finally, after hundreds more entanglements, Ji Mo An’s speed slowed down.

The silver staff fell to the ground, and he grabbed the fabric on his chest and knelt on the ground crookedly.

“Now!” A small bottle fell from the flames, and the snake pulled out the stopper and held the golden liquid in his mouth.

A burning sensation came from his mouth, and the liquid eroded the mucous membrane, and the red blood gradually submerged the gold.

The gravity system in the space had completely lost its balance, and countless objects jumped up and down, even crushing the blue flames.

The snake endured the blows and collisions of countless furniture and stretched out his tail to roll the person over. The blood from the corner of his lips was so much that it began to overflow, floating into the sky along his chin.

Xuan Bai grabbed Ji Mo An’s wrist and pressed his whole body to the ground, his sharp fangs pierced into his lips, forcibly prying open the other person’s tightly clenched teeth, and guided the blood in his mouth into his throat with his snake letter.

“Xuan Bai…” The severe pain gradually subsided. As the blood color faded from his eyes, Ji Mo An vaguely saw the snake’s golden pupils.

“Don’t talk.” The snake held Ji Mo An’s face and pressed the action of that bite or kiss even deeper.

It hurts so much…

Ji Mo An lay on the ground, his head being held and pressed forward. The slender snake letter swept across his throat, and the extremely strong foreign body sensation made him unable to help but gag.

As the blood flowed back, the strong bloody smell had already filled his nose.

Ji Mo An opened his eyes, and the black pupils that had been scattered slowly returned.

The noisy black lines gradually disappeared from his sight, and the nagging crying gradually weakened.
