Mysterious city

Long before Jiang Zhe used "Blessing", he already knew how much he had to pay.

As Kenshin said at the beginning, "If you use it indiscriminately, you will die."

But Kenshin also said the same thing, that is, "It's not that I don't want you to use it, but I want to protect myself at critical moments."

But at that moment, it was no longer a question of whether Jiang Zhe could protect himself.

If you don't use the blessing, not only you, but also the entire Li Village will be finished!

As for Jiang Zhe at this moment, although Li Cun's crisis has been temporarily resolved, his spiritual power has been completely exhausted.

The exhaustion of spiritual power means that the mental power has completely collapsed. It is not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Zhe's spirit at this moment has completely collapsed.

Blood spurted out from his nose, ears, and mouth, and his consciousness had completely collapsed.

Before the last ray of consciousness completely dissipated, Jiang Zhe used the last bit of strength in his body to hold the magic core left by Xiao Shui.

Xiao Shui's magic core is a scarlet ball. In terms of color and roundness, it is the best that Jiang Zhe has ever seen among tiger-level monsters.

And the moment his fingertips touched the core of the little water demon, chaotic memories spewed out like a flood, almost completely engulfing Jiang Zhe's remaining consciousness.

In the darkness, he felt as if he had entered Xiao Shui's own body, experiencing all the dark moments in Xiao Shui's short life.

He was scolded by his stepmother, worked day and night to do dirty and hard work, looked down upon by his fellow villagers, treated like a working animal, bullied by his peers, and finally died because of what Xiaopeng and others called a "game" .

Xiao Shui's life can be summed up in two words: "tragedy".

The saying that human beings are inherently good at first is true.

But let me ask, if the vast majority of people have experienced a life as dark as Xiao Shui's, and have been bullied by life since childhood, how many people can guarantee that they will not follow the same path as Xiao Shui?

Gradually, Jiang Zhe's consciousness was completely swallowed up by the negative emotions in the little water demon core.

The good thing is that after touching Xiao Shui's magic core, Jiang Zhe's mental power was greatly replenished.

Although his mental power was on the verge of collapse, after absorbing the power from the Little Water Demon Core, he gradually filled the gap.

During the period when Jiang Zhe was completely unconscious, his body was gradually filled with the demonic intention in the little water demon core, and his meridians and flesh and blood, which were on the verge of being broken, were also slowly repaired.

When Jiang Zhe regained consciousness again, no one knew how much time had passed.

"Where am I?"

Jiang Zhe struggled to get up from the bed and murmured.

He looked around and found that he was in a ward.

Everywhere he looked, there were white hospital sheets and medical first aid equipment.

"Consultant Jiang, you are finally awake."

A crisp female voice sounded. Jiang Zhe raised his hazy eyes and found that the owner of the voice was Zhang Nan.

At this moment, she was wearing a simple sportswear. Her long black hair was tied high into a long ponytail, making her look neat and tidy.

"Captain Zhang, it's you." Jiang Zhe raised his groggy head and glanced at the time, finding that it was already four-thirty in the morning.

"Where are Li Jun and the others?"

Zhang Nan smiled lightly when he heard this and said softly: "Li Jun escorted Xiaopeng home, but he hasn't arrived yet."

"As for Xiao Ran, he is still in the ward of Anshi No. 1 Hospital and has not fully recovered yet."

Then Zhang Nan stretched out her delicate hand and wiped Jiang Zhe's forehead, and then said: "What's wrong, Consultant Jiang, it seems that you have been unconscious for several hours and are not fully awake yet?"

Jiang Zhe nodded noncommittally: "Yes, it feels like a long, long dream."

His spiritual power was already on the verge of exhaustion, but he still activated the alchemy weapon "Blessing" regardless of the danger. This was enough to push Jiang Zhe to the edge of death.

You must know that severe mental overdraft is definitely not less dangerous than suffering from terminal illness.

Of course, if Jiang Zhe hadn't absorbed Xiao Shui's magic core and replenished his spiritual power, he would have become a walking corpse.

However, there is a price to pay for obtaining spiritual power from Xiao Shui's magic core.

The stronger the monster's resentment and the deeper its desire, the stronger the power of its condensed demonic core will be.

And hastily absorbing the powerful magic core will bring greater side effects to Constantine.

This impact is not limited to the mental level, but also includes memories of demonization, negative emotions, etc.

The moment Jiang Zhe absorbed the Xiao Shui Demon Core, his mental power had already been exhausted, and he was naturally unable to resist the negative energy stored in the demon core.

Although the energy contained in the magic core saved Jiang Zhe's life at a critical moment, in just a short moment, he had already experienced Xiao Shui's life.

Most of Xiao Shui's memories were full of negative energy and dark, but Jiang Zhe had to completely digest those negative energies in just a short moment.

It can even be said that Jiang Zhe has not lost his mind until now, and has not turned into a monster affected by negative emotions and acting randomly. This can be considered as his will is strong enough.

Just as Jiang Zhe was recalling his various experiences when absorbing the magic core, Zhang Nan's delicate hands had already been put on his shoulders.

"Consultant Jiang, if it weren't for you this time, the case would have gone to the bottom."

Zhang Nan's voice sounded a little weird, a little more charming than usual.

This kind of charm would be quite natural if it were placed on Lu Yunru or Chen Hao.

But if you put it on a heroic heroine like Zhang Nan, it always feels weird.

"Captain Zhang, what do you want to do?"

Jiang Zhe's brows jumped and he asked a little unnaturally.

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Nan's little hand on his shoulder started to dance gently.

This woman who usually looks so arrogant is actually giving Jiang Zhe a massage?

"What do you want to do? What else can others do to you?"

"You have made such a great contribution and helped so much. I just want to reward you and give you some comfort."

After saying that, Zhang Nan put her pretty face against Jiang Zhe's face with charming eyes, and said with a soft breath: "Why, you are a grown man and you are still shy?"

"You and I are the only ones in the room now. Li Jun and the others will have to wait a while before they come back."

"Isn't there anything you want to do with me before they come back?"

Zhang Nan's words made Jiang Zhe feel like a bolt from the blue. He leaned on the bedside as if he was stupid, not knowing what to do.
