Chapter 293: What If_3
Ding Hui had spent so much time on this, not just procrastinating, but actually touching upon something substantial.
Unfortunately, the results of the investigation were not good news.
Fang Yu sighed inwardly.
"Is Lord Li Baizhen still considered alive?"
"Barely."
"Can he take control and lead Li Xunxue?"
"I don't know, there's a theoretical possibility, but the chances are very slim. This body was not designed for the Bloodline Spirit, but to block the Bloodline Spirit."
Before today, Ding Hui didn't even believe that someone could become a spirit.
But now, she believed it.
However, this Bloodline Spirit was actually a pseudo-spirit, not a traditional spirit, and its effects were just a poor imitation.
Ding Hui could feel that this research was not yet truly complete by the other party; for now, it was only a semi-finished product, or even just a prototype.
The Bloodline Spirit was not actually a spirit, but a separation, absorption, and hosting of flesh and blood tissues.
The dissection steps involved are quite complex, requiring profound skill and very deep research into spirit structures to achieve such an imitation.
"I remember you saying that Li Pincheng made Li Xunxue this way? I think I want to meet him."
"Meet who?"
"Li Pincheng."
"..."
Fang Yu frowned.
"No, it's too dangerous. With your strength, going to the Li Family is akin to seeking death."
Ding Hui sighed, wishing to be powerful but finding it difficult to fully commit to research; one cannot have it all, that's the norm.
Fang Yu suddenly added.
"If one day I capture Li Pincheng and bring him back to the Prison, you can meet him however you like."
Ding Hui chuckled, not taking it seriously.
Li Pincheng was not a minor figure like Li Xunxue; he was one of the Trialists who participated in the Li Family trials. With a special status, he was not comparable to Li Xunxue.
"So what now? Shall we wake Li Baizhen?"
"... Let's call him out to see."
"Alright!"
As soon as her words fell, Ding Hui turned and drove a dagger straight into the forehead of the unconscious Li Xunxue.
The dagger penetrated the forehead as if avoiding all bones, going deep until it suddenly stopped steadily.
Ding Hui began to listen closely to Li Xunxue's forehead, moving the dagger in her hand slowly, like a precise surgical scalpel.
Suddenly, as if she found the exact spot, she fiercely pulled the dagger out.
Shhhh!!!
Blood spurted out, splashing Ding Hui's face, but she didn't care.
Li Xunxue's blood only posed a threat when he was conscious; otherwise, it was just dead blood, a dead object, without any aggressiveness.
At the same time, Ding Hui holding the dagger, stepped back two steps, looking exhausted.
"It's done, you talk to him first, I'll sit down and rest. That's all for today."
Facing a new field, Ding Hui must focus intensely all the time, draining a lot of energy.
After several hours, she was already exhausted and couldn't continue.
Fang Yu was puzzled.
Just a stab? Is the switch that simple?
Or was it something crucial that Ding Hui hit with her dagger? Some sort of blood transformation?
Fang Yu didn't understand these profound things at all.
He approached Li Xunxue with half-belief and half-doubt.
At this moment, Li Xunxue, with blood flowing from his forehead, was slowly coming to.
The moment he opened his eyes, Li Xunxue immediately showed a look of astonishment.
"Diao... De Yi??"
The first character was still in Li Baizhen's voice, but the next two characters suddenly changed to Li Xunxue's voice.
But Li Xunxue's expression was of complete astonishment, eyes wide.
"My voice?!!"
Fang Yu frowned.
[Li Xunxue: 11/1116.]
The health bar explains nothing.
When a demon wears human skin, the health bar can only show the human's name.
The current situation is similar.
Who is inside cannot be told from the health bar.
Fang Yu turned his head to look at Ding Hui sitting on the ground.
She just waved her hand.
"It's him. He's being absorbed fast, and it will be harder to maintain his characteristics."
There was something else Ding Hui didn't say; a few more times, and Li Baizhen might not only lose his voice, but all his characteristics would only be expressed through Li Xunxue's body until he disappeared completely.
On the other side, Fang Yu was reassured.
Since Ding Hui confirmed, there was no need for further words.
Immediately, Fang Yu respectfully said.
"Lord Li Baizhen, long time no see."
Li Baizhen's expression was complex, although it was shown through Li Xunxue's face, giving it a strange look.
Li Baizhen's life had its ups and downs, seeing a lot and thinking quickly; he somewhat guessed the current situation.
"Did you capture my sister?"
"Yes."
"... Let her go, I'm beyond saving."
It was unexpected that Li Baizhen himself was the first to give up.
Fang Yu was taken aback, then silent.
He looked back at Ding Hui, who didn't even bother.
Li Baizhen's life and death seemed not so important to her.
Thinking it over, Fang Yu spoke.
"Lord Li Baizhen, it's not the end yet, maybe we still have a chance to save you."
"Then my sister will die."
Li Baizhen was unexpectedly perceptive, or perhaps, having been imprisoned within Li Xunxue's body, he had thought everything through very clearly.
What's this, I still want to save people, and the person to be saved no longer wishes to live.
Fang Yu felt depressed.
"Lord Li Baizhen, you care about your sister, but she doesn't want you alive."
"It's okay." Li Baizhen closed his eyes.
"I owe her too much... and I never knew, she was still alive all along..."
Memories of the Li Family surged up, a mixture of emotions.
Li Baizhen was sighing, but Fang Yu couldn't empathize.
