Chapter 34 Invading Brain Cells
"Holy crap, you're finally awake!"
Ji Chenyu rubbed his slightly bruised eyes and said with a sigh of relief, "You almost scared me to death."
Qi Te felt a throbbing pain in his temples, and his brain felt as if it had been poured into a blender and churned up. He was dizzy, lightheaded, and indescribably uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with me?"
Ji Chenyu said speechlessly, "I was about to ask you what happened. I just finished washing clothes and came in to find you swaying. I tried to help you, but you pushed me away."
"When Nan and A-Feng saw that something was wrong with you, they came over to help, and as a result, you threw up all over them."
Qi Te couldn't remember anything at all. His memory stopped at the moment when he felt dizzy while checking the data. He had no recollection of anything that happened after that.
"After you fainted, Nan went to call the dormitory manager. The school doctor came to examine you and said that apart from the rib injury, everything else was normal."
"I was going to call an ambulance to take you to the hospital, but the school doctor said you're not in any serious condition. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse are all fine. You're just unconscious, so there's no need to go to the hospital."
Ji Chenyu helped Qi Te sit up and lean him against the headboard. Seeing that Qi Te's face was as white as paper, he said worriedly, "Your complexion is not right. In my opinion, it's probably because of that punch from that Qin guy that you got a concussion. Listen to me, go to the hospital for a checkup."
Qi Te looked down and carefully examined his body. His heart was normal, his blood circulation was normal, and the injury to his ribs had healed by about 50-60%.
All bodily functions are normal, except for the brain, which cannot self-diagnose.
"What time is it?"
Ji Chenyu took out his phone: "8:48."
Qi Te rubbed his temples, remembering that he had Lao Liu's class that morning.
"Let's go to class first, and then go to the hospital at noon."
Ji Chenyu couldn't refuse, and since Qi Te's condition had improved a little, he had no choice but to help him get up.
Qi Te went to the bathroom to wash his face, and after a short while, the discomfort in his brain subsided considerably. He grabbed the breakfast his roommate had brought back and ate it as he hurried towards the new teaching building.
The classroom was on the 23rd floor. When his classmates saw that Qi Te had returned, they couldn't help but look at him.
Unlike before, people's eyes no longer held contempt and jealousy; most were friendly, and some were even filled with sympathy.
All the students had heard about what happened at the Oriental Tower subway station. They knew that he had been followed by that madman Zheng Xinjian and had been brutally beaten by him using his superpowers, almost losing his life.
"Is he really not going to file a lawsuit?"
"That's too easy to talk to! If he wants to sue, I'm willing to be a witness."
"What kind of witness are you? You weren't even at the subway station, and you didn't see anything."
"But when Zheng Xinjian got into trouble at the academy, he used others as a shield. I was right there and saw it all clearly."
"These are two separate matters, but it serves as circumstantial evidence..."
The students started discussing it, each contributing their own thoughts.
Seeing that Qi Te was acting strangely, Cao Yingchong thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message.
"You look terrible, what happened?"
He knew that Zite was a dual-sequence individual, and although his self-healing ability was only at the F-level, it shouldn't have gotten any worse after a night.
"fine"
After replying to the message, Qi Te suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
In this long lecture, Qi Te still habitually sat in the last row, with only a blue wall with soundproofing material installed behind him, nothing else.
But just now, he clearly felt that someone was watching him from behind.
Zite frowned; he had experienced this strange feeling before, even in the hospital.
All signs indicate that something is indeed wrong with me.
"What happened?"
Just as I was pondering this, the bell rang.
As usual, Liu Baichuan entered the classroom door precisely on time.
"Class is starting, class is starting, everyone put your phones away."
Old Liu is very strict in his professional field and has a foul mouth that he likes to swear, but he has always had a good relationship with his students. Although everyone is fed up with this old man who always goes overtime, they don't really dislike him.
After all, professors who are academic authorities and don't like to put on airs are really rare.
"Let's give a warm welcome to Qi Te, who has recovered from his injury and is back!"
Liu Baichuan valued this beloved disciple highly, but he deliberately called him out in public, purely out of a perverse sense of humor.
He found it hilarious every time he saw Qi Te's embarrassed state, digging his toes into the soles of his shoes.
A burst of enthusiastic applause erupted, like a torrential downpour.
However, when Liu Baichuan looked at Qi Te with great interest, he found his beloved disciple sitting there blankly, without any expression.
"This kid took a week off, did he go into seclusion to cultivate? How come he's so calm?"
Old Liu picked at his teeth and, finding it uninteresting, began the lesson.
..........................
"Debugging complete"
Your body, now, belongs to me.
Qi Te sat motionless, expressionless, without even blinking.
He couldn't control his body. All he could see was darkness, and he couldn't hear any outside sounds. It was like a computer that had been turned off. The only sound was the voice that suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Who are you?"
"Me? I am your controller. You can call me Master."
What are you going to do?
"No, no, no, you can't be so rude to your master."
"Whoever you are, get out of my head right now!"
"Don't rush, the real show is just beginning."
As soon as the other person finished speaking, Zite's vision and hearing returned.
He couldn't feel any movement in his body, but his gaze had clearly risen. Therefore, he must have stood up at this moment.
Old Liu, standing on the podium, looked towards the last row and asked curiously, "Qite, what's wrong?"
Clearly, the other person asked that question because they saw him suddenly stand up.
"Professor Liu, I'm not feeling well and need to go to the hospital."
Liu Baichuan immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong? Is your injury still not healed?"
"I got injured again yesterday, and I think I need to get a check-up as soon as possible."
"Okay, you go first. Um... Ji Chenyu, taking Qi Te to the hospital won't count as skipping class."
Ji Chenyu immediately stood up, but Qi Te refused, saying, "No need. Ji Chenyu's grades are so bad. If he doesn't study hard, he'll have a hard time graduating."
The students in Class 1 of the second year all looked at Qi Te in surprise. Everyone knew that Ji Chenyu was his best friend, and whenever someone bullied him, Ji Chenyu would stand up for him.
Saying such things in public is going too far.
"Special"
Ji Chenyu stared wide-eyed at Qi Te in disbelief. The familiar face was expressionless, so cold that it gave Ji Chenyu the illusion that "that's not Qi Te".
"Don't follow me, focus on your class."
After saying that, Zite left the classroom without looking back.
....................
The other party invaded my brain cells.
How to solve this? Qi Te was completely clueless and could only let the other party control his body.
I unlocked my phone with facial recognition, hailed a Dada Express car, and got in after leaving the college gate.
The destination was not a hospital, but an upscale residential area in the West Second District.
Qi Techang has never been to any area above the fourth district in his life. That area is full of wealthy people, including big businessmen with money and power, high-ranking public officials, and middle and senior managers of large companies.
For a citizen born and raised in District 9, District 3 is already an unattainable dream, let alone District 2.
It wasn't rush hour, and the journey was smooth. A little over an hour later, the express car arrived at the gate.
After the sensors carefully scanned the car, they surprisingly allowed it to pass.
Although Qi Te had never been to such a high-end place before, he had seen some related videos online.
It is said that non-residents of Zone 2 must submit a medical examination report from the past week to ensure they are not carrying the virus when entering or leaving any residential area or office building in Zone 2.
The residential area in front of us is clearly an extremely luxurious villa area, and it's very strange that they would allow a fast car to enter.
The residential area was much larger than Qi Te had imagined. Following the navigation, it took nearly twenty minutes to drive to a gate.
After the driver brought the car to a stop, he quickly got out and opened the door for Qi Te.
"We've arrived, sir. Thank you for your ride."
The driver bowed respectfully and awkwardly made a gesture of invitation.
The other party seemed to regard him as a scion of a wealthy family, or a distinguished guest invited by a wealthy family.
After getting out of the car, Qi Te took out his phone and tipped the driver 1,000 yuan.
The driver immediately bowed with a beaming smile. Qi Te remained expressionless, but deep down he was in so much pain that he wanted nothing more than to grind the bastard who was controlling him to dust.
The massive iron gates slid open to the sides, revealing to Zite what was more like an estate than a villa.
A man in his fifties, dressed in a suit, opened a luxury sightseeing vehicle with transparent glass on all four sides, and Zit uncontrollably got on the vehicle.
After driving for another ten minutes or so, passing several detached villas along the way, we finally arrived at a three-story building.
The man led the way, taking Zit to the room in the middle of the third floor.
Clearly, this is not just a luxurious bedroom, but also a fully equipped hospital room.
On the large bed, which appeared to be over three meters long and wide, an old man who was so thin that he was just skin and bones suddenly brightened up when he saw Qi Te.
"Mr. Qian, are you satisfied?"
A man's voice came from behind.
Upon hearing the other person's voice, Qi Te's mind went blank.
It's him!
The man walked to the bedside, looked at Qi Te with a playful gaze, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips: "We meet again, junior."
