Standing in the storeroom, after nearly a hundred heartbeats, Lin Sheng suddenly felt all his strength rapidly withdrawing into his heart like a balloon contracting .
The dark purple veins between his eyebrows and in his chest faded and smoothed out, hiding under his skin . His clothes and trousers were also slightly looser now .
“It also seems to expand muscles…” Lin Sheng guessed .
Then, suddenly, a strong feeling of weakness came over him, spreading like an electric shock . Lin Sheng almost fainted .
“I knew it… The principle of conservation of energy . This kind of explosive power must have come from me!”
Lin Sheng held on to the wall with one hand, feeling everything was spinning around .
He felt lucky that the evil spirit he had summoned was not picky about what it ate and did not care if the blood clotted a bit, or he would not have succeeded this time .
About this power, he had a vague feeling that this explosive power might be produced by burning the blood in his body . Where else would that power come from?
The evil spirit would never be so kind and provide charging services for those who used the power for free .
Lin Sheng rested against the wall for a while . “What an experience…” He recalled the ritual .
That dark red face that struggling to free itself had shattered his materialistic worldview of more than 40 years in an instant .
“No, maybe what I saw was just an illusion . ” Lin Sheng shook his head . “It’s possible to see anything weird in a state of hallucination . ”
He carefully picked up the plastic sheet, wrapped the bowl, carried his schoolbag, and clean up the remaining traces . Finally, he staggered out of the abandoned factory .
Now he tasted the pain and trouble brought by the ritual, especially after testing the new power he gained . Lin Sheng was totally weak from head to foot up to now .
Home .
Wang Yue was watching TV with Lin Sheng’s mother while father was doing something in the study .
Lin Sheng opened the door and came in . His pale, bloodless face startled them .
“Why do you look so pale?” Gu Wanqiu quickly stood up and helped Lin Sheng to sit on the sofa slowly .
Wang Yue poured a glass of water and put it on the tea table in front of Lin Sheng with a worried face .
Lin Sheng thanked her and picked up the glass of water, sipping .
Then, Lin Zhounian heard the noise and came out of the study . He was also startled as he saw his son’s pale face .
“You look so pale! Is there something wrong? You need to go to the hospital!” He said, putting his hand on Lin Sheng’s forehead .
“No fever . Just sweating . ” Lin Zhounian guessed .
“Mom, Dad, don’t worry, I’m ok, maybe just tired… I didn’t sleep well these few days, and I was busy studying during the day . I didn’t have a good rest, so it’s normal that I don’t look well . ”
Lin Sheng found an all-purpose excuse — he didn’t sleep well .
But Lin Zhounian insisted on taking him to the hospital .
Lin Sheng could not refuse, so his father rushed him to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment .
After one round of examination, which cost more than $800, nothing was found except anemia and insufficient rest .
Lin Zhounian did not mind the extra expense . He breathed a sigh of relief and returned home with Lin Sheng .
Gu Wanqiu quickly went to the kitchen to make brown sugar eggs . Lin Sheng ate two bowls at a stretch . Then he soaked his feet in hot water and went back to his room to rest .
He felt lucky that he had disposed of the plastic sheet and bowls before he went home . Otherwise, his family would find out .
He’s going to get rid of all his clothes tomorrow . Who knew if the evil spirit he had summoned would leave anything on his clothes . He would be in trouble if the evil spirit followed him home . He had not thought of that before .
Thinking of this, Lin Sheng immediately took a bath and changed his clothes . Then he found a plastic bag to pack his clothes, tied the plastic bag tightly, put it in his bedroom, and then going to burn them tomorrow .
After that, he dried his hair and lay down on the bed .
In fact, he agreed to go to the hospital for a check-up . After all, he did not know whether performing this ritual in real life would bring any hidden danger to the body .
He knew from memory that the ritual could enhance power, and then he used it without thinking about the consequences .
The good news, for now, was that reality did not seem to differ much from the records in the memory .
Lying on the bed, Lin Sheng was exhausted and extremely tired . He fell into a deep sleep as soon as he lay down .
To his surprise, he did not enter his dream .
Why could he not enter the dream realm? Lin Sheng found it strange .
*Beep! Beep! Beep!*
A rhythmic alarm bell roused him from his slumber .
Turning off the alarm, Lin Sheng propped himself up from the bed and looked out the bedroom window .
There was nothing outside the window . It seemed to be dawn at the moment, and it was dim outside .
*Bam!!!*
All of a sudden, a pale face with an eerie smile hit the window .
A man with messy hair, dressed in white, was pressing his face against the bedroom window, rolling his bloodshot eyes and looking at Lin Sheng with a smile .
*Click! Click! Click!*
Before Lin Sheng could react, the man lowered his head and started to frantically pick the iron lock hanging on the window, trying to get in .
Lin Sheng was about to get up, but all of a sudden…
*Bam!!!*
There was also a loud bang from the door .
*Click! Click! Click!*
It seemed as if someone was trying to force open the door with something in a mad way, and the door could be opened at any moment .
“Damn it!” Lin Sheng quickly turned over and got out of bed, but he was too weak to even stand up .
He tried to walk to the wall to take the sword case
However, as soon as he took a step, he felt like everything was spinning around and he was not able to balance .
Lying in bed, he saw that the window and the door were opened . And the next second, two white figures lunged at him .
A great sense of crisis welled up in his mind . But before he knew it, a light flashed before his eyes . A dark red, swirling light .
Even when he closed his eyes, he felt the light right before his eyes .
The sense of crisis quickly subsided .
After a while, Lin Sheng slowly opened his eyes again .
He was still lying on his bed, covered with a thin blanket . The windows and the door were shut, while the sky was bright and sunny .
A sense of security that Lin Sheng had never felt before suddenly gushed from the bottom of his heart .
