Book 4: Chapter 28: Sneaking into Chernobog

When Shining consoled Chen Heng, he immediately said something pretty savage.nove(l)bi(n.)com

“...He Who Knows Fate, have you not suffered from a societal beating before?” After some silence, Shining felt these words best suited her current mood.

Chen Heng felt shocked upon hearing this. “How did you know? Is it that obvious?”

“...All those who have suffered from a societal beating would not be this mischievous. Does your family know about your mischievous behavior?”

“Ah! This... Sorry, my entire family died four years ago, so they don’t.”

“Sorry, I did not know....” Shining had not expected the youth before her to be an orphan.

His current optimistic character did not seem like someone who bore a deep grudge over having his entire family killed.

“There’s no need to feel guilty over this. I’m already used to it. So, do you want that medicine or not?” Chen Heng took out a bottle with a wooden stopper and shook it in front of Shining.

Chen Heng did not mind. Not that he was callous, but everyone in the Chen Clan had to get used to this.

“I’m now hesitating over letting Nightingale regain her memories; those are not pleasant. However, although she does not say, I can tell she minds not having those memories.” Shining felt very conflicted.

“Ah! That’s right. This secret medicine cannot guarantee memory recovery, just a chance.” The pill in his hand was called the Mind Calling Pill. Cultivation had been around for a long time, and all sorts of situations had cropped up, so he had many strange pills. There were even pills for treating hemorrhoids, what more amnesia?

The Mind Calling Pill could call up the memories hidden deep in the heart. It had been made for cultivators who entered a state of berserking Qi deviation and lost their memories. Such medicinal pills could only be considered auxiliary. If not for Shining mentioning it, Chen Heng would have forgotten about it. He even had to fish it out of the trash pile.

After all, most people would not lose their memories.

Shing! The sound of a sword being drawn came from Shining. When Chen Heng looked, he saw that Shining had drawn the sword hidden in her staff.

“...Shining, what are you doing? Don’t draw your sword. I’m very powerful.” Chen Heng took two steps back. Not that he could not defeat Shining, but he was the mischievous one in the first place, so he did not hold the moral high ground.

“I know you are powerful, but can you please be more serious?” Shining felt angry when she thought about how Chen Heng had played such a prank on her when she was seriously thinking about it.

To avoid shock, he did not bring in the vehicles, leaving those outside. In certain situations, the vehicles might even be a burden.

Efreet: Since Chen Heng can spatial jump, why not send him to rescue Doctor alone? @Kal’tsit.

Umaru-chan: There might be a special significance?

Kal’tsit: No. I just did not think of it. Furthermore, Chen Heng did not tell me about his spatial jump ability.

I told you.

Kal’tsit: You did not.

I told you.

Kal’tsit: You did not at all. You only mentioned attraction, gravity, electromagnetic, sword skills, and sniping. You did not mention spatial jumping.

My spatial jumping results from my attraction ability. I use a web of attraction to affect space, achieving a rippling effect and allowing me to spatial jump. I only achieved it after losing many parts of my body.

Kal’tsit: Never mind. Even if I had known about spatial jumping, I still would have arranged for Amiya to lead a group to rescue Doctor. Amiya has a deep obsession with Doctor.

Alright, alright. I’ll focus on the operation.

Kal’tsit: Focus when you are on an operation. Don’t forget, I’m your boss now.

...

Chen Heng ignored Kal’tsit, turning his head to Amiya. “Amiya, do you know where Doctor is?”

“I do. Everyone, come with me. Doctor should be in the core region.” Amiya had made boundless preparations and undergone countless simulations before starting this operation. This minor issue was no problem for her.

Amiya took out a map of Chernobog. After finding their position, she led everyone over. Chen Heng had chosen a suitable location not too far from the destination.
