An Abnormal State

The Zhang Household's villa is to be rebuilt, and if they don't stay at the Ren Household next door, they'll have to stay elsewhere.

After a brief conversation, Zhang Xuezhou and Zhang Manqian checked into the Save the World Group Medical Center.

He and Ren Yisheng had a casual conversation, and he would occasionally supplement or correct some of the related information he had transcribed.

He didn't find a bed and lie down until it was dark.

A few minutes later, Zhang Xuezhou fell completely silent.

"An Ran!"

Watching Zhang Xuezhou lie down silently again, Ren Yisheng felt as if he had only an empty shell.

The body is still the same body, but Zhang Xuezhou's soul is missing from this body.

He had never felt this way before, but after his own Yang Soul left his body and resided in the Soul Jade, Ren Yisheng's perception undoubtedly became much sharper.

He could even sense that Zhang Xuezhou's body was extremely similar to his own.

In contrast, Ren Yisheng's body required Ren Anran's meticulous care, including cryopreservation to prevent it from deteriorating completely.

Zhang Xuezhou's body, however, is able to weather this period and eventually return to normal.

"Where do you think the real Zhang Xuezhou went?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"For real?"

"His soul, his vital essence, his three souls and seven spirits, his spirit..."

Ren Yisheng used several nouns to describe it.

For the first time, he suspected that Zhang Xuezhou was not fighting Hongku, which caused him to seal his three souls and seven spirits in his brain, but that he might have gone to some unknown place like him.

This place is extremely secluded and difficult for ordinary people to discover.

Instead of guessing, why don't you just ask him directly?

After hearing Ren Yisheng's description, Ren Anran calmly replied.

"Can he answer?" Ren Yisheng asked.

"He'll definitely answer, but whether you'll believe him is another matter," Ren Anran replied. "Besides, figuring out where his mind went is pointless for you!"

How could it be meaningless?

"The impact of sinkholes is irreversible, so what's the use of knowing that?"

"Well!"

Ren Anran made a condition that truly satisfied Ren Yisheng's ulterior motives.

Zhang Xuezhou does indeed possess something special.

This special possession was like having a treasure trove, and Zhang Xuezhou was constantly taking out relevant items from it.

"This might actually bring some special benefits," Ren Yisheng said. "He's not very wary of us, why don't you try to get to know him better?"

"Didn't you previously forbid me from having too much contact with him?" Ren Anran said calmly, "You even set a trap for him with the Tuer tribe, letting him become infected with the inescapable cancer of Tuerkalando, making him repeat your fate. Your current attitude is hard for me to fathom!"

"I... I might not live to see the day of liberation, or I might disappear completely in the next moment!"

No matter how much encouragement or motivation he received, Ren Yisheng did have some concerns.

"In the past, I relied on my strength as Seventh Sequence individual, second only to Zhou Xin and Chang Kongluo. I believed I could protect you from the wind and rain, and I believed I could give you a better future. But I've realized that when that reliance disappears, my confidence isn't as strong anymore!"

"You..."

"I'm not a true strongman," Ren Yisheng said dejectedly. "True strength comes from within, and one is not afraid of losing power, but Dad's confidence is only based on his strength."

"Strength is the mark of the strong!"

"You know that's just a symbol!"

Ren Yisheng's confidence was indeed lacking.

His once strong inner self has been gradually eroded and eroded since losing his body.

If it weren't for his ability to communicate with the outside world, Ren Yisheng felt he might have gone insane in this state.

This was like a nightmare he couldn't escape.

He left the mansion in his twilight years as he wished, but this was not the way he wanted to leave.

He couldn't feel his own body, nor could he see his own future.

Some things that were once firmly held in his beliefs began to falter, and his attitude towards them began to waver.

Ren Yisheng didn't even doubt that continuing down this path might lead to madness or depravity.

Your spirit is crumbling!

After a few seconds of silence, Ren Anran finally made her judgment.

It's not terrible for a patient to lack suitable medical care; what's terrible is when a patient loses their will to live.

Clearly, the longer the time goes on, the more one's Ren Yisheng beliefs gradually disappear.

If it weren't for her companionship and Zhang Xuezhou's occasional good news, Ren Yisheng might have gone mad.

According to Ren Yisheng's description, Ren Yisheng was previously floating around his body. He could see and hear everything, but Ren Yisheng could not make a sound and could even feel his life slipping away.

Upon entering the Soul Jade, the place where Ren Yisheng was located resembled an ice cave.

Without light, I couldn't see myself; all I could feel was the biting cold.

This was undoubtedly a terrifying prison, not only confining Ren Yisheng's body but also imprisoning Ren Yisheng spirit.

People break down very quickly in this environment; in some similar scientific experiments, ordinary people can't even last an hour.

Ren Yisheng, relying on his strong will, has persevered for more than a month now.

However, persisting in this way for a long time will obviously cause problems, and Ren Yisheng has even begun to waver in his attitude, mentioning the possibility of his disappearance.

You need to strengthen your spirit to avoid this disappointment and despair!

Ren Anran closed her eyes.

Her right hand was holding a pen and drawing on a blank sheet of paper.

She has both casual doodles and delicate drawings.

Within minutes, the blank sheet of paper displayed everything that had happened in the ward.

Waiting for her to open her eyes, Ren Anran glanced at the drawing on the paper and casually stuffed it into the wastepaper basket next to her.

Unlike her previous repetitive works, this time she added a person to her painting.

This made Ren Anran think about some things in an instant.

When a rare smile appeared on her lips, she seemed to vaguely sense the flaw in Chapter Five of the Mental Strengthening that Ren Yisheng had mentioned.

She not only needs to cultivate her Mental Strengthening in the fifth chapter, Ren Anran also needs to perfect her Mental Strengthening in the fifth chapter.

This wasn't just for herself, but more so so that Ren could persevere throughout his Ren Yisheng.

"The mistakes you made in your cultivation have made it difficult for your spirit to remain pure. The harsh environment you were in more than twenty years ago forced you to pursue Mental Strengthening to increase the auxiliary lethality of the Dragon Elephant Combat Technique, while neglecting the path that the spirit should take to be pure and strengthen its origin. This caused you to slowly decline after losing your body, and even begin to doubt yourself..."

Ren Anran's voice was extremely calm as she described the situation, and she proceeded with her analysis in a slow and methodical manner, as if she were a teacher instructing a student.

Ren Yisheng's condition is abnormal, and Ren Anran's condition is clearly also abnormal.

After she finished speaking, when she closed her eyes to paint again, the scene in the painting was no longer this special ward, but a land of Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs and rare plants, where an emperor and empress stood in a pavilion gazing ahead, looking at Ren Anran who had closed her eyes.
