After Turning Into A Little Skeleton, I Got Contracted By A Goddess

Chapter 210: Spiritual Restoration

“Yes, I can communicate telepathically with summoned spirits.”

Zhou Mingrui generously admitted that as an advanced-level summoned spirit, he could naturally communicate with other summoned spirits easily.

“Ah, Officer, you’re amazing!” Xu Zhenglong said with an envious expression for the first time.

“This is just a small ability. There’s nothing to be proud of,” Zhou Mingrui laughed.

“Officer, I’ll definitely work hard to improve and become a strong person like you!” Xu Zhenglong said firmly.

“Very good. With your courage and intelligence, I believe that we will meet again after this beast tide ends. By then, you will have to change the way we address each other.” Zhou Mingrui laughed.

“Thank you for your compliment, Officer. You will always be my officer!” Xu Zhenglong replied.

After bidding farewell to this interesting fellow, Zhou Mingrui went down the watchtower and continued his stroll.

The surroundings did not seem to be affected by the impending beast tide. On the contrary, everything was thriving.

This left Zhou Mingrui somewhat surprised. He felt that the soldiers were only so confident because they had never experienced the terror of a beast tide.

As he walked, Zhou Mingrui arrived at the city wall. He suddenly sat down as he looked at the distant scenery.

The soldiers on duty and patrolling all looked at this officer curiously before continuing with their own tasks.

At that moment, Zhou Mingrui did not think or do anything. He just silently looked ahead.

Time flew by, and soon, the moon hung high in the night sky. The soldiers on patrolling duty changed shifts, but Zhou Mingrui remained seated in his original spot, unmoved.

Late at night, the entire southern wasteland was eerily quiet. In the direction of the pitch-black wasteland without any light, it was like a huge beast’s mouth that could swallow the world at any time.

In the quiet environment, only the footsteps of the soldiers walking back and forth and the occasional roar of monsters could be heard.

Zhou Mingrui sat there quietly until the first ray of light appeared on the ground. The sky around him also began to light up gradually.

With the arrival of another batch of soldiers, they looked at Zhou Mingrui, who was still sitting on the city wall, with curiosity.

So they couldn’t help but ask their comrades who were changing shifts, “That officer hasn’t moved since last night?”

“Yeah, he hasn’t moved.” The soldier on night duty nodded. “And he just stared straight ahead. He didn’t even close his eyes to rest.”

“What is he doing?” the soldier asked.

“I don’t know, and I don’t dare to ask. Why don’t you ask him later?” The soldier on night duty shrugged his shoulders and left.

The soldiers who came to change shifts naturally did not dare to ask and continued with their work.

However, from morning to noon, Zhou Mingrui remained seated without moving. This stunned another wave of soldiers who had come to take over the shift.

Everyone began to whisper among themselves as they asked each other if anyone knew Zhou Mingrui. However, no one knew the officer.

Yan Wuyue, who had just woken up and walked out of the dormitory to exercise, heard this from the conversation of the soldiers passing by.

“A strange person who sat there all night and all morning without moving?” On second thought, Yan Wuyue realized that it was the same time as Zhou Mingrui when he left.

Yan Wuyue immediately walked toward the city wall.

Soon, she arrived at the city wall and saw the figure sitting on the wall.

Yan Wuyue walked to Zhou Mingrui’s side, and she did not try to wake him up. Instead, she stood to the side and watched quietly.

This was because she knew that Zhou Mingrui might be in a special state. Such a state was usually a good thing, and it was best not to disturb him.

Just like that, Zhou Mingrui sat there from noon to evening. During this time, Chen Yixuan also came to take a look. After saying that it was a situation that could easily happen after receiving treatment for damaged consciousness, she left.

However, she had told Yan Wuyue to call her if she found anything special.

It wasn’t until the early morning of the next day that Zhou Mingrui’s eyes suddenly moved. Then, his body trembled slightly.

Then, he stood up and stretched. His whole body suddenly emitted a burst of sound, like bubbles bursting. This woke up Yan Wuyue, who was taking a short rest.

“You’re finally awake.” Yan Wuyue sized up Zhou Mingrui and found that he had not changed much.

“How long have I been sitting here? It seems like you’ve been waiting for me for a while.” Zhou Mingrui turned his head and asked curiously.

“You’ve been sitting there for almost a day and a night. It looks like you’re just lost in thought,” Yan Wuyue answered.

Zhou Mingrui yawned. After some thought, he said, “Not really. I feel very clear-headed now as if my mind has been emptied.”

“I see.” Yan Wuyue nodded as if she understood something.

“You know what I’m doing?” Zhou Mingrui looked at Yan Wuyue and asked.

Yan Wuyue blinked and said, “You were seriously injured before. When Chen Yixuan treated you, she added a lot of spiritual power from the external consciousness. Although that spiritual power has almost no other consciousness, it still needs time to digest and accommodate.”

“It was supposed to be a matter of course, but you received the information from the stone tablet in the world of consciousness during that period of time, which was equivalent to forcing the spiritual power to be used and integrated by you.”

“It’s like adding transparent water into a basin of blue water. It’s actually turbid at first, and it needs to be stirred to mix gradually. Otherwise, it’s impossible to achieve the same color.”

“This caused your spiritual essence, the core of your soul, to force you to stop and rest. This is probably the reason why you sat for a day and a night this time.”

After listening to Yan Wuyue’s explanation, Zhou Mingrui finally came to a realization.

In fact, this was like a computer shutting down and restarting automatically when it’s overloaded. It was also like the concept of an ordinary person passing out because of overwhelming feelings.

Seemingly enlightened, he replied, “I see. No wonder I felt a little dizzy before I sat down. Then, I chose this place in a trance. I felt that it was very quiet here, so I sat down.”

“It seems that your mental trauma is almost healed. How’s your energy now?” Yan Wuyue asked.

“I don’t feel any changes. It should be restored.” Zhou Mingrui scratched his head.

“The stone tablet didn’t tell you how to enter the microscopic energy domain?” Yan Wuyue asked curiously.

“He told me, but I haven’t learned it yet. It seems quite difficult.” Zhou Mingrui said in embarrassment.

Yan Wuyue shook her head helplessly. Then, she walked behind Zhou Mingrui and placed her hands on his shoulders. A surge of spiritual power immediately entered Zhou Mingrui’s body through her hands.

Without any resistance or rejection, Yan Wuyue brought Zhou Mingrui’s consciousness into the microscopic energy world again.
