Looking at Mu Tianzi, whose demeanor had suddenly become dispirited, Lu Zixun glanced at her in surprise. This change was quite significant.
"I’ve noticed something wrong with Jiu Jiu’s body for a while. I tried to use the Light Element Superpower Technique to heal her, but it seems to be of no use."
Mu Tianzi continued, "I thought it was some kind of disease, and after visiting several major hospitals, they found nothing. I never expected it to be an Abnormal Creature."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zixun’s eyes flickered with thoughtful solemnity.
No wonder Mu Tianzi believed him so readily; it all made sense now.
Watching the pained expression on Mu Tianzi’s face,
Lu Zixun fell silent for a moment; it seemed he too didn’t have a good solution for dealing with the Abnormal Creatures parasitizing the human body.
Usually, in such cases, Lu Zixun’s method was to simply eliminate the host.
Now that he needed to save someone and exterminate an Abnormal Creature, he frankly admitted this touched on gaps in his knowledge.
"System Prompt Sound: +6000 Despair Value detected from Mu Tianzi."
Looking up, Lu Zixun saw a look of resignation in Mu Tianzi’s eyes and felt a twinge in his heart.
He nonchalantly tapped on the table and said, "There’s still a chance to save her, don’t give up yet."
Mu Tianzi took a deep breath and steadied her emotions, "You’re that Spirit Beast from STO, right? What do you want to know?"
Lu Zixun, who was drinking a mocha, almost choked on hearing this; it seemed everyone knew he was STO’s Spirit Beast.
Noticing Lu Zixun’s puzzled look, Mu Tianzi slightly smiled, "You can speak, and I can’t even see through your strength. Other than that Spirit Beast, I can’t think of any other animal who’d be able."
Lu Zixun nodded, realizing her reasoning did make sense.
He gathered his thoughts.
Lu Zixun looked up at Mu Tianzi, "Your girlfriend, um... Jiu Jiu, when did her body start exhibiting these abnormal behaviors? Like walking oddly?"
He described the situation briefly and watched Mu Tianzi, waiting for her response.
Frowning as she recalled,
Mu Tianzi replied uncertainly, "Two weeks ago, Jiu Jiu attended a volunteer event organized by the school. When she returned, I felt something was off."
"I initially thought it was heatstroke due to the hot weather, but later, I realized that wasn’t the case."
The school-organized volunteer event was a keyword that instantly grabbed Lu Zixun’s attention; he suddenly stood up.
His eyes filled with a cold intensity, "Who organized this event?"
This question caught Mu Tianzi off guard.
After pondering for a while, Mu Tianzi shook her head, "I’m not sure, but usually, such activities are organized by the student council."
Going in circles seemed to confirm an issue relating to Ma Jiang—Lu Zixun’s earlier suspicion was correct.
Originally, Lu Zixun thought that taking down Ma Jiang would resolve the issue with the Abnormal Creatures in Lingchuan City.
But now, it seemed the situation wasn’t so straightforward.
At this moment, Lu Zixun pulled out his phone from a talisman and opened the map of Lingchuan City.
If he were Ye Changming, he would understand one thing: one shouldn’t put all their eggs in one basket.
This meant that in vast Lingchuan City, aside from Ma Jiang, other areas were likely managed by other members of the Alien Race.
Now, he could almost confirm that the Alien Race responsible for spreading Abnormal Creatures around Qingniao University area was Ma Jiang, who acted as the leader of the student council.
What about the other areas?
Looking at the map of the five major districts of Lingchuan City, Lu Zixun was lost in thought.
"Ding—Doubt Value from Mu Tianzi detected +6000."
The system prompt sound snapped Lu Zixun back to reality. He then sent his thoughts through VV to Xiong Kang.
Lu Zixun organized his words before saying, "I have some clues about this matter, but as for your girlfriend, I need to meet her in person."
To deal with the abnormal creatures residing within the body, Lu Zixun had only one idea in his mind.
As to whether it could be implemented, he still needed to meet the person.
Understanding this, Mu Tianzi nodded and glanced at the time, "Tomorrow, I will bring Jiu Jiu to find you."
After adding each other as VV friends, Lu Zixun treated Mu Tianzi to a dessert at the café before leaving with satisfaction.
Roaming around various places in Qingniao University, he did not sense the presence of any abnormal creatures.
With a thoughtful expression, Lu Zixun walked towards the dormitory building where Lin Siyin resided.
If the abnormal creature wasn’t hiding within Qingniao University, how did Ma Jiang manage to bring the abnormal creature into the university and infect the students?
While pondering this question, Lu Zixun unconsciously arrived at the dormitory building.
Just as he was about to activate the magnetic field control to float up to the fifth floor and enter room 521 directly through the window.
Suddenly, a flicker of fire caught his peripheral vision.
Lu Zixun instinctively looked over and saw Ma Jiang holding a bouquet of roses, standing in the middle of a heart-shaped formation made of candles, surrounded by intermittent noises.
With a puzzled expression, Lu Zixun hid in the bushes watching Ma Jiang, wondering what he was doing here.
Looking up at the BF building, Ma Jiang clenched his fists tightly, nervously shouting, "Lin Siyin, I like you! Will you be my girlfriend?"
Hearing these words, Lu Zixun instantly bristled—what was this?
Seeing no one responding, Ma Jiang smiled nonchalantly and continued to shout, as if he wouldn’t leave until Lin Siyin agreed.
With twitching corners of his mouth, Lu Zixun felt like someone was encroaching on his territory, watching Ma Jiang with a hostile gaze.
Lu Zixun looked at the candles burning around Ma Jiang and suddenly had an idea.
Previously, not only had Felix activated the undying ability for Lu Zixun, but when activating the power of the bloodline, Lu Zixun felt he could control flames.
This method of control was different from using superpower; if he had to describe it, one could say one was innate while the other was learned.
Raising a paw toward Ma Jiang’s direction, the flames on the candles grew with the wind.
Instantly, a wall of fire formed, trapping Ma Jiang inside.
"Hot! So hot! Someone, help!"
Surrounded by flames, Ma Jiang immediately panicked and began shouting for help loudly.
Lin He, the sycophant, seeing this scene wanted to rush over to rescue, but the heat from the blazing fire deterred him.
"Brother Jiang, hold on, I’m going to find a fire extinguisher!"
After shouting, Lin He hurried to find a fire extinguisher.
Meanwhile, next to him, Lu Zixun controlling the flames watched Ma Jiang struggling inside, and the thought of killing him briefly flashed through his mind.
At that moment, a Thousand Paper Cranes fluttering its wings flew down from the BF building and landed on Lu Zixun’s head.
