HPDBC Chapter 348 I May Have Been Corrupted by the Abyss
Chapter 348 I May Have Been Corrupted by the Abyss
This is an endless golden ocean.
A warm, peaceful, and sacred golden light, like a mother's embrace, gently enveloped Li Zhenru's consciousness.
She felt as if she had turned into a speck of dust, drifting in this vast sea of light. All the pain, all the resentment, all the failures... were gradually soothed and purified under the warm golden light.
Just as she was about to completely succumb to this tranquility, a blurry figure slowly emerged from the depths of the dazzling golden light.
She was a woman with an upright posture.
Her face was shrouded in a sacred glow, making it difficult to see clearly, but her eyes, like two burning stars, were full of majesty and compassion.
"child……"
A grand yet gentle voice resounded directly into the depths of Li Zhenru's soul.
"Open your heart and accept the power bestowed upon you by the great emperor..."
"Past failures are merely stepping stones to a higher level..."
"Go..."
"Use your true power to defeat the enemy who brings you nightmares..."
The Valkyrie's voice, like the most sacred gospel, left a deep imprint on Li Zhenru's soul.
An unprecedented, vast and powerful force, following the golden light, continuously flowed into her body!
Li Zhenru felt as if her body was about to be completely burst by this force!
But at the same time, an indescribable feeling of comfort and power spread throughout her body!
Just as she was about to be completely assimilated by that power—
"Splash—"
A soft splash jolted her awake from her golden dream!
Li Zhenru suddenly opened her eyes!
What came into view was a pale green liquid.
The liquid, brimming with life, enveloped her entirely.
She found herself lying in a sealed emergency pod.
Through the transparent glass on the side of the emergency cabin, you can see the sophisticated instruments flashing indicator lights and several medical personnel in white coats outside.
I've had the same dream for seven days in a row!
Every time she woke up from a dream, she could clearly feel her body recovering at an astonishing speed.
Li Zhenru's brows furrowed tightly.
Just then, a gentle female voice rang out from inside the emergency room.
"Ms. Li Zhenru, all your vital signs have returned to normal, your vital signs are stable, and you are out of danger."
"We recommend that you be discharged today. Continuing to use high-concentration life-sustaining fluids for an extended period can easily lead to dependence..."
Upon hearing this, Li Zhenru calmly nodded and said, "Okay!"
Soon, the hatch of the emergency pod slowly opened, and the pale green nutrient solution was quickly drained.
Medical staff came forward to conduct a final examination on her, and after confirming that there were no problems, they processed her discharge procedures.
Li Zhenru changed into a clean combat uniform and slowly walked out of the medical room.
She raised her hand, gently clenched her fingers, feeling the abundant and powerful energy within her body, and a hint of undisguised surprise flashed in her eyes.
My body... has actually recovered almost completely!
She knew very well how badly she had been hurt.
Even with the most advanced emergency treatment, it would be impossible to recover from this injury without one or two months of rest.
She had even prepared for the worst—
We need to transplant the extraordinary heart cells again to avoid the serious consequence that the extraordinary heart cannot be cured and will deteriorate.
But now...
Only one week has passed!
My injuries miraculously healed!
She could even clearly feel that her damaged superhuman heart showed no signs of decay; on the contrary, it was even stronger and more powerful than before!
Was it because of... that dream?
Li Zhenru's heart sank at this thought.
However, when Li Zhenru opened her eyes again, all the solemnity and unease on her face had vanished.
Instead, a bright smile appeared on her face.
With a joyful expression, she boarded the hovercar that was already waiting at the door and returned to the school.
On a high-rise building not far from the hospital, two blurry figures were silently watching all of this.
"Is choosing Li Zhenru... really okay?" One of the figures asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.
The other figure remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "There's no other way; she's already the most ideal target at the moment."
……
Half an hour later, Li Zhenru appeared at the gate of Yinhe Martial Arts University.
Without saying a word, she walked straight into the campus, ignoring the surprised or curious glances from the students around her.
Upon returning to school, she immediately went to the student council building and headed straight for the president's office.
In his office, Zhao Xinghe was leisurely handling some trivial daily tasks.
When he saw Li Zhenru suddenly appear, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.
Li Zhenru was discharged from the hospital so quickly despite such serious injuries?
However, Li Zhenru's next words almost made him drop his teacup.
"Zhao Xinghe," Li Zhenru said, her face extremely grave and her voice trembling, "I have something very important to discuss with the highest-ranking official at the school immediately!"
Zhao Xinghe was taken aback: "What's wrong? Why the rush?"
Li Zhenru took a deep breath and uttered four words, one after another:
"Abyss Corruption!"
"What?!"
Zhao Xinghe's pupils suddenly contracted, and he abruptly stood up from his chair!
He looked at Li Zhenru in disbelief.
Then, he heard those words that struck him like a thunderbolt.
"I suspect... I may have been corrupted by the abyss."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xinghe's eyes widened suddenly, and almost instinctively, he uncontrollably retreated backward!
"Hey, Li Zhenru, you're not kidding me!"
……
Meanwhile, in the training room.
Lin Yuechan's phoenix eyes, which were always as cold and aloof as icebergs, were now burning with fierce fighting spirit and filled with eager light!
"You seem to have improved again!" She looked at Lin Qiye, her red lips slightly parted, "Give me a taste of my own medicine."
"Stab me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye's expression instantly turned somewhat strange.
Lin Yuechan rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "What are you thinking! I mean, go ahead and stab me with your gun!"
Lin Qiye suddenly recalled that time, in the same training room, when Lin Yuechan held a long spear, pointed it at him, and said that as long as he could withstand one of her shots...
The Lin Yuechan of that time and the Lin Yuechan of now seem to slowly overlap at this moment.
Lin Qiye snorted and said, "Teacher Yuechan, I'm afraid you can't take this shot!"
