"Motherfucker, what kind of apocalyptic start is this!
I've just accepted a commission and the entire clan is to be executed, and there isn't much time to react. It's tomorrow.
Less than twelve hours left to live.
Forget about completing the mission, it's hard to even save my own life!"
Although Ding Yun was depressed and grumbling internally, she knew that once the decree was issued, the matter was settled. It was basically impossible for anyone to intercede for them, and the chance of a decree ordering a halt to the execution was slim to none.
Therefore, Ding Yun could only try to save herself.
And before considering the last resort of escaping prison.
Ding Yun still held some hope for the golden finger.
Hoping it would be of some use.
So, after she had calmed down again and her body had completely merged with the original body, and the life force carried by her soul allowed her to regain her mobility,
She immediately took out this time's golden finger.
Then she discovered that this golden finger was not a system or a space farm or anything like that, but an object similar to a magnifying glass that could be received into her consciousness chip and taken out.
At the same time...
Basic information also appeared in her mind.
[Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass: Gathers all tangible and intangible energy of heaven and earth, and magnifies all things organic and inorganic in the world.]
Just this sentence, simple to the point of being touching.
Ding Yun rarely encountered such a simple and unpretentious golden finger, not flashy. In the past, golden fingers were always accompanied by a bunch of problems, or a bunch of descriptions, restrictions, and even activation methods.
Unlike this one, which looked quite simple.
The logic was simple, and it should be simple to use.
However, how to use it specifically still needed to be figured out.
So, the next second, Ding Yun quickly put away the magnifying glass and quietly looked around.
Fearing that someone nearby might be surprised if they saw her take out the magnifying glass.
But she soon realized she was overthinking it, because although there were many people around, the cell only had a palm-sized window, admitting very little light. It was very dark inside. Saying it was pitch black would be an exaggeration, but it was indeed difficult to see people clearly.
Let alone the things in their hands.
Secondly, some people nearby were crying loudly, some had cried themselves unconscious, and some had no more tears to cry, only mourning silently.
No one noticed her at all, so how could they have seen her suddenly holding a magnifying glass and then it abruptly disappearing?
However, even so, this was clearly not a good place to test the Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass, so Ding Yun immediately moved her position slightly, moving herself to a more inconspicuous spot, and then tentatively tried to use the original body's experience, closing her eyes and thinking of the other body.
She wanted to see if she could also go over.
And enter the body in modern society.
After a few moments, Ding Yun clearly sensed a subtle spatial fluctuation, not only understanding immediately why the commission reward was spatial soul points.
At the same time, she successfully entered the other body.
Soul points provided by souls that can travel through time and space are called spatial soul points, which is perfectly normal and reasonable.
"Yunmeng, Yunmeng, are you alright?"
"What's wrong with her? Doctor!
She was much better a while ago, why has she suddenly become like this again? What should we do?"
"Yes, Doctor, is there still a cure?"
...
As Ding Yun heard these voices, she immediately understood the situation on this side. It must be that the original body had been staying in her ancient body for the past few days, neglecting to return to this body on time.
This directly caused this body to shut down.
It reverted to its original state of being a simpleton.
Her parents, out of concern, naturally had to quickly take her to the hospital for a detailed examination and to inquire about the cause.
Hence the conversation she was now hearing.
"It's very strange, we haven't found any..."
Before the doctor could figure out how to comfort the family, Ding Yun had already taken control of the body in time and immediately called out:
"Dad, Mom, I'm fine..."
"Ah, Yunmeng, you're fine!"
"You're better again? You scared us to death!"
"What exactly is wrong with you?"
Needless to say, the parents of this body were extremely happy and surprised. At most, they were slightly worried in their joy, worried that their daughter's body might not have fully recovered and there might be some hidden issues.
This led to the current situation.
At this time, the doctor also quickly stepped forward two steps and began to ask Ding Yun what had happened earlier, what she had felt, hoping to understand the reason.
Facing the doctor's questions and her parents' concern.
Ding Yun could only start to make up stories, saying that she had watched a TV series a few days ago and felt very upset, so she didn't want to talk or interact with others. It was only today that she felt better and was willing to respond to them.
Her parents were bewildered by her answer, and wanted to reprimand her but dared not.
For fear that she would then refuse to talk to them again.
The doctor, on the other hand, was even more bewildered, because they had never encountered such a symptom, nor had they seen someone become like a simpleton just by refusing to interact with others. This was definitely not purely feigned. It might have something to do with psychology and mental health.
But they were not sure about the specific reason.
This was because although there were many studies on human psychology and mental health in the medical community today, they were far from being fully understood and all conditions were known.
Many aspects were still speculative.
Perhaps right, but not certain.
There were even many aspects that were not even speculated.
So in the end, the doctor only advised them to pay attention to the patient's emotions, communicate more often, and if necessary, seek a psychologist or a psychiatrist.
Then, they were declared fit for discharge.
On the way home, Xiao Haizhe and his wife tried hard to talk to Ding Yun in a gentle tone, making up topics even if there were none. They also spoke to Ding Yun in an almost humble tone, hoping she wouldn't do this again in the future.
If she was unhappy or uncomfortable, she should tell them.
If she didn't like a TV series, she should change it, and so on.
To this, Ding Yun could only accept it all, and had been constantly nodding in the original body's tone and habits, indicating that she remembered and wouldn't do it again.
Only then did she manage to appease them.
Next was to go home and make dinner.
During the cooking process, Xiao Haizhe and his wife didn't let Ding Yun help with anything. They were busy with everything. The original body, being from a well-to-do family, usually had servants doing the housework. Furthermore, she didn't really consider the parents of this body as her own parents, so she didn't feel anything was wrong.
But Ding Yun wanted more freedom now. She wanted to prove to them that she had some self-care ability, and that she didn't need to be constantly watched or accompanied.
Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her to try out the Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass.
It would also be inconvenient for her to act freely in the future.
So, despite their objections, Ding Yun eventually helped them with some small tasks like washing vegetables and peeling garlic. As for cooking and stir-frying, the changes were too significant and not good, so she had to proceed slowly.
Therefore, Ding Yun did not force herself to do it.
After dinner, and watching TV for a while.
Ding Yun said she was tired, and finally managed to get back to her bedroom and have a little alone time.
"They are too caring, too considerate! They almost feed me directly. If I were used to it, or if I truly enjoyed this, it would be fine. But how can I bear this? It's suffocating.
It seems I have to speed up the process when I have time.
Let them know as soon as possible that I can be self-reliant.
Otherwise, it's inconvenient to do anything."
Ding Yun was really not used to being cared for so meticulously. It made her feel like she was disabled, and the way her parents took care of her made her feel like an infant.
It wasn't to the point of being horrified,
But it certainly made her uncomfortable.
So after complaining a couple of times, she decided to accelerate her changes, if possible.
It would be best to even move out.
Of course, these were things for later. After complaining, Ding Yun quickly stood up and first looked around the room, making sure there were no surveillance devices before confidently locking the door and taking out the magnifying glass.
Then, she began to figure out how to charge it.
And how to magnify.
I have to say, the designer of this golden finger was indeed very considerate, because after some exploration, Ding Yun discovered that this thing was practically plug-and-play.
It was like a point-and-shoot camera.
As long as one had a normal IQ, it was impossible to make a mistake.
To charge it, press the red button on the front of the handle of the Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass, and then one could choose the specific energy source. Solar energy, wind energy, hydraulic energy, even electrical energy, merit and luck could all be used.
If one was not bothered by the trouble.
One could even charge it by smashing the magnifying glass with a fist, as a fist strike also had a certain amount of potential energy and impact.
At the same time, one could choose the charging scale.
That is, one could choose to absorb electrical energy at one kilowatt-hour per second, or ten thousand kilowatt-hours per second. However, whether this would cause a short circuit or a power outage was not her concern.
Absorbing solar energy could also be done in different modes.
The basic mode was to absorb solar energy like a solar panel. The next level was to uniformly absorb solar energy within a radius of several miles, but it might cause the sunlight in the surrounding few miles to be relatively dim.
And the temperature would decrease.
If the extreme charging mode was activated,
It could even cause a large area to be completely devoid of sunlight, plunging that area into absolute darkness, where not even a sliver of light would exist, all of it absorbed by the magnifying glass.
It would be darker than pitch black.
This was about charging.
As for magnification, Ding Yun also did some experiments. She successfully magnified the cup in the original body's room by two times. She also successfully magnified one of the glass balls in the original body's collection to the size of a human head. The magnified objects currently had no problems in appearance or use.
Nor did they revert to their original state after a certain period.
The downside, of course, was that it could only magnify and not shrink. Magnified items could not be restored to their original state. As for how many times it could magnify, Ding Yun dared not experiment.
Because a cup nearly two liters in capacity in the room, plus a crystal ball the size of a human head, was already difficult to explain. If she produced something even larger, she could just pretend to be a simpleton again.
Because no normal person could explain it.
She could only fool them by pretending to be ignorant and claiming to know nothing.
After understanding how to use the Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass and what its functions were, Ding Yun immediately went to sleep with peace of mind. Anyway, there were still nearly twenty hours until the execution on the other side, so there was no need to rush.
The next day, apart from continuously charging the Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass, Ding Yun spent the rest of her time demonstrating her changes and learning ability.
This was to make her parents understand that she was not incapable of doing anything, and that she could learn easily if she tried.
It had to be said that Ding Yun's change was effective.
After only half a day, her parents were privately muttering that their daughter seemed quite smart. They couldn't take care of their daughter their whole lives, and perhaps it was a good idea to try letting their daughter learn self-sufficiency.
Then, they began to teach Ding Yun how to cook, make soup, and order takeout. They also taught her how to clean by herself, and how to call for services to hire people to clean, unclog toilets, and so on.
In short, they were quite up-to-date.
By six o'clock in the evening, when they should have been watching TV, Ding Yun specifically did not watch TV. Instead, she said she was a little tired today and wanted to go back to her room to rest.
Because she was afraid that if she watched TV until the end, she would miss the execution of the entire family on the other side. It would be terrible if she arrived there and her head was gone.
Even with a golden finger, there would be no solution.
At this time, Xiao Haizhe and his wife also felt that Ding Yun had learned a lot from them today and had done some housework, so she might indeed be tired. They did not suspect anything. Instead, they enthusiastically helped her wash up, sent her back to her room, and told her to rest well tonight and not to overexert herself.
If she felt muscle soreness tomorrow.
They would take her for a massage.
Meanwhile, after washing up, Ding Yun naturally locked the door immediately, then put the Energy Gathering Magnifying Glass, which had been charged quite a bit, back into her consciousness chip, and returned to the original body, her ancient body.
When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the prison.
The crying was still there, only hoarser.
The difference was merely that there was a bowl of barely decent food beside her, and she could also hear the jailer sneering: "Can crying bring back your life?
You people are really something. You've cried so much that we haven't slept well for days. Fortunately, it all ends today. You are free, and we are free.
Finally, we don't have to listen to your crying anymore.
The execution meal has been served. What are you waiting for if you don't eat it? This is your last meal. Whether you become a gluttonous ghost or a starving ghost depends on this meal."
