Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Mental Restructuring
Boom—
The intense trembling overhead continued, but the moment Ji You saw her Spiritual Silk, tears were almost bursting out of her eyes, though the next second she forcibly held them back.
However, while Ji You as the master controlled herself, her Six Spiritual Threads sadly did not. Upon sighting Ji You, they all wailed loudly like lost babies finding their mother:
[Master!!!]
[Master!]
[Master! We’ve missed you so much!]
...
Even though there was a layer of fog, Ji You clearly saw her six threads squeezing their big heads through!
This sight made Ji You jump, and she blurted out, "What has time done to you, how did you turn out like this?"
Just then—
In this vast space, around Ji You’s body, neatly side by side, were six big heads, each as huge as a massive planet!
Yes!
As big as a planet.
Scary...
Truly frightening.
Ji You? In this virtual spirit space, she was as insignificant as a grain of sand, not worth mentioning.
What’s key is, these terrifying big heads were all staring intently at her.
Ji You: "..."
Ji You silently turned her back, only to realize she could still see, and reluctantly, she lowered her head.
The Six Strands nearly screamed their lungs out: [Master! We’ve just gained some weight! Don’t leave us!!]
Fourth even jumped up excitedly, stepping on Old Five’s head: [Master!!! No matter how fat Sisi gets, I’ll always be your darling baby ah ah ah!]
Ji You: "..."
Old Five, Sixth, Third, Second, even Boss now also abandoned their dignity, afraid of being left behind, one after another they howled: [Master!!! I’ll always be your darling baby ah ah ah!!!]
It was ear-piercing!
And wildly noisy!
Ji You’s scalp tingled, goosebumps all over her body, unable to bear it any longer, she blurted: "Shut up! I don’t have little babies like you!"
In the end, Ji You added emphatically: "No!"
Six Strands: [...]
In an instant, a wave of sorrow filled these ’huge’ babies’ hearts, their copious emotions, from excitement and joy, instantaneously switched to grief!
Fourth lay on the ground and cried: [It’s over! Master doesn’t want us anymore!]
Old Five held his head up in despair: [Master! No, please no!]
Sixth no longer even knew what he was doing, desperately flailing his tail, in disbelief: [Wah wah... why doesn’t Master want Sixth?]
Third looked to Boss then to Second, still somewhat rational, and asked: [Does Master really not want us anymore?]
Second wanted to shake his head but was afraid it was true, his brows furrowed in worry: [It seems so wah...]
After saying this, even the usually calm and mature Second, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and couldn’t help but burst into loud crying!
Instantly, Third, Fourth, Old Five, Sixth, all started crying one after another, their cries getting louder and louder, making such a tumultuous noise that Ji You’s head was buzzing.
Just as Ji You was about to speak, Boss suddenly whipped his tail forcefully, this swat of his tail was both majestic and powerful, hitting the five threads all at once, momentarily stopping their cries.
Boss roared at them: [Shut up now! Master would never abandon us! Master has her reasons.]
Ji You: "???"
Difficulty?
By then, Ji You had noticed something strange: why were all her threads obediently lying still? And—why didn’t they pass through the hazy mist?
Before she had figured it out, Old Five, honest and simple, asked: [Master, is there a difficulty?]
Boss tilted his head, pondering for a moment, and said solemnly, "Master, she is poor!"
Ji You: "..."
As soon as Boss said this, it was like awakening the dormant threads, and the other threads all leaped up: [Exactly! Master is a pauper!]
Ji You: "..."
Ji You took a deep breath, "I really appreciate that you have finally come to this realization!"
Before the Six Strands could react, Ji You raised her head, glaring at them, "Just don’t know when you could empathize and understand your pauper Master, and help her save a bit?"
Six Strands [...]
The heads of the Six Strands drooped simultaneously—
At the exact moment when Ji You finally noticed her own Spiritual Silk and was almost overjoyed to tears, in the medical room, Principal Hong received the news and hurried over immediately.
Before even entering, he sensed a vast, imposing aura faintly coming from inside the door; Principal Hong’s brow furrowed: "Is this deterrent force coming from Kid 4444?"
Soon, Doctor Luo opened the access, and Principal Hong walked into the medical room.
Doctor Luo and Mu Jianling turned their heads to look at him simultaneously; Principal Hong waved his hand, saying, "Don’t worry, with me here, nothing will go wrong."
Old Hong’s statement, plain and simple, seemingly powerless, yet allowed the two present a slight relief.
Doctor Luo said, "With you joining us, Old Hong, I’m relieved. With the three of us working together, even if the worst situation occurs, we can stabilize her Spiritual World from collapsing."
Principal Hong, with hands clasped behind him, walked slightly closer to Ji You, but had to stop less than half a meter closer. He sent out his Spiritual Silk to probe, just like Mu Jianling and Doctor Luo before, and his Spiritual Silk was instantly severed.
Doctor Luo explained, "Her spiritual destructive power is immense, she doesn’t allow any other spirit to get close."
Upon hearing this, Principal Hong suddenly asked, "Can machines get closer?"
After listening, Doctor Luo nodded, "Non-intelligent machines can get closer."
Principal Hong pondered for a moment and then said, "The destructive power is so great, and the territorial consciousness so strong, it means her Spiritual World is not collapsing but reorganizing. Get machines close to her immediately, continually monitor her measurements; whatever she needs, provide it to her."
"Quickly!" Principal Hong ordered with a calm, stern face, "Use the machine I lobbied for this year from the Alliance Research Institute!"
Lobbied?
Upon hearing this, Doctor Luo silently criticized internally: Old Hong’s choice of words is really mild! Calling it lobbying, but it was actually pestering and stubbornly forcing the general research institute to approve the equipment.
However, as soon as Principal Hong said this, both Doctor Luo and Mu Jianling, while assured, didn’t dare to delay any further and immediately started preparing.
Very soon.
The machine successfully approached Ji You and wasn’t repelled by her spirit.
Through the simulation displayed by the machine, the three of them saw the approximate condition of Ji You’s Spiritual World.
Only to see—
The pitted Virtual Space was gradually being repaired, outside the original space, a layer of light mist formed a barrier. Ji You’s Six Spiritual Threads hovered around the barrier, unable to advance any further...
The three stared in shock!
Doctor Luo clicked his tongue, "It’s indeed reorganizing."
Mu Jianling said solemnly, "Not only has it reorganized, but the Spirit Space has also expanded."
Principal Hong furrowed his brow, somewhat puzzled, "Why are the Spiritual Silk outside the Space Barrier? Also, the expansion is only halfway done, lacking the strength to finish."
Immediately, without needing any order, Doctor Luo, Mu Jianling, and Principal Hong took out a large amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Candy Beans, Cloud Mist Tea, Butterfly Honey...
In a moment, around Ji You, countless valuable items were laid out.
