Zhou Ziwei first lifted the sheet slightly to reveal Liu Xiaofei's head, then reached out to check her breathing, examined her eyelids, and finally found Liu Xiaofei's right hand to take her pulse.
Zhou Ziwei inherited memories of being a doctor, so he found these basic medical facts and diagnostic methods quite easy.
After a quick diagnosis, Zhou Ziwei breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the girl had been injured by the electric current leaking from the shower, which had damaged the main nerves in her neck and chest, causing numbness throughout her body and making her unable to speak.
Because the leaked electricity was household electricity, only 220 volts, and the leakage time should not have been long, it did not cause serious damage to Liu Xiaofei's other bodily functions.
Damage to the main nerve trunk, which would be a troublesome injury for other doctors and hospitals, was the easiest injury to treat for Zhou Ziwei.
As long as he can channel his soul power into Liu Xiaofei's body, restoring the vitality of these main nerve pathways will be a matter of minutes.
The problem is... Zhou Ziwei had only tried invading the ladybug with his soul power before. Now, if he were to invade the body of a living person, he didn't know if any accidents would happen.
Zhou Ziwei frowned, and carefully tried to channel an extremely weak wisp of soul power through his palm into Liu Xiaofei's wrist...
After using the unique soul power vibration frequency he learned from the ghost bat, his soul power was indeed able to bypass Liu Xiaofei's own soul's rejection, allowing his soul power to successfully penetrate into Liu Xiaofei's body.
However, a living person is different from a small insect. Inside Liu Xiaofei's body, Zhou Ziwei could feel the soul rejection almost everywhere. Zhou Ziwei had to maintain the vibration frequency of his soul power at all times, making it difficult to move forward step by step. For a long time, he could not make his soul power advance an inch further than Liu Xiaofei.
It seems that to repair the main nerve trunks in Liu Xiaofei's chest and neck, we can't take such a roundabout approach; we must start directly from the damaged area.
It's important to know that maintaining constant vibration of soul power consumes a considerable amount of soul power. If he were to extend his soul power from his wrist to Liu Xiaofei's chest and neck, Zhou Ziwei estimated that he would have used up enough soul power to catch another small insect.
However, if he directly targets Liu Xiaofei's chest and neck area, wouldn't Liu Xiaofei think that Zhou Ziwei is taking advantage of her?
Zhou Ziwei didn't want to bear such a bad reputation for no reason. He could do good deeds anonymously, but why should he be given a bad name? Zhou Ziwei wouldn't do something that was thankless and difficult.
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ziwei decided to let Liu Xiaofei decide for herself. So he first picked her up through the sheet and said to her, who had her eyes closed and seemed unconscious, "Officer Liu... you were electrocuted. Let me carry you to the bed first..."
He then carried Liu Xiaofei quickly out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. He carefully placed her on the spacious bed, then sat down beside her, gently wiping her wet hair with the sheet. He leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Officer Liu, I don't know if you can hear me now, but I have to tell you clearly… Your condition is very bad. According to my diagnosis, you have extensive damage to the nerve trunks in your neck and chest, which is why you are numb all over, with almost no sensation in your lower body. If this condition continues for too long, it may… it may very well lead to disability."
I've learned some traditional Chinese massage techniques. If I were to massage your chest and neck, there's about a 60% chance I could quickly restore your nervous system and gradually restore your senses... However... if I were to massage you, I would inevitably have to touch some sensitive areas of your body. But we are men and women, and you are currently unconscious. I really don't know if, after waking you up this way, you might think I'm taking advantage of you...
Okay then! If you can hear me, please make a decision! If you want me to treat you, blink. If not… well, never mind, I'll call an ambulance immediately and take you to the hospital. But… this is just a small county town, and I don't know if the county hospital can treat your kind of injury! Alright… now it's your decision! Whether you trust the doctors here or trust me is up to you. Uh… if you really don't know anything right now, then I can't help you. I'll just have to assume you don't trust me, and I'll take you to the hospital immediately.”
After Zhou Ziwei finished speaking, he raised his head and silently stared at Liu Xiaofei's tightly closed eyes. He waited for a long time, but he only felt Liu Xiaofei's eyeballs moving restlessly under her eyelids for a while, but he never saw her eyelids blink even once...
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 112: Massage
Liu Xiaofei was indeed unconscious for a moment after being struck by the electric current, but she had already woken up before Zhou Ziwei came in. However, she was lying naked in the bathroom, and she couldn't face anyone like that, so she was very anxious when she heard Zhou Ziwei knocking on the door.
However, the nerves in her chest and neck were completely paralyzed, leaving her unable to get up. Helpless, she could only close one eye and pretend to be unconscious.
When Zhou Ziwei kicked open the door and barged in, Liu Xiaofei's heart nearly jumped out of her throat.
After all, Zhou Ziwei's first impression of her was that of a playboy with ill intentions towards her. Although this misunderstanding faded somewhat later, it was not completely eliminated.
Now that she was lying naked on the ground, displaying her beautiful figure to Zhou Ziwei without reservation, she believed that even if Zhou Ziwei wasn't the kind of person she originally imagined, he would definitely not let such a ready-made advantage go to waste.
After all, she always thought that men were the kind of animals who thought with their lower bodies. There were men who could remain unmoved by a woman in their lap, but... either the woman sitting in their lap was too old and ugly, or the man simply didn't like women... The reason she chose to sit in Zhou Ziwei's lap when she was on her way back to catch the bus was simply because Zhou Ziwei seemed to be the least disliked of the three.
Moreover, there were several people in the car at the time. She believed that even if Zhou Ziwei had any lewd thoughts, he would not have been so ashamed as to do anything disgusting in front of others.
However, to Liu Xiaofei's surprise, after Zhou Ziwei barged into the bathroom, he not only did not take advantage of her, but immediately used a bed sheet to cover her completely exposed body.
This greatly surprised Liu Xiaofei, but she gradually began to develop a slight liking for Zhou Ziwei.
When Zhou Ziwei examined her injuries, she felt his hands touching her face, and she couldn't help but get nervous. She tried to open her eyes several times but forced herself to stay awake. After Zhou Ziwei carried her to the bed and said those words, she couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts again.
Obviously, if Zhou Ziwei were to give her a massage, he would definitely be touching her chest all over... He might even lift up the sheets and grope her bare chest!
Liu Xiaofei really didn't know whether she should believe Zhou Ziwei. She wondered if Zhou Ziwei already knew she wasn't unconscious and had only pretended to be a gentleman earlier, but now he was making up this lie so he could openly molest her... She had never heard of Zhou Ziwei having any medical skills or traditional Chinese massage techniques before... So Zhou Ziwei's words naturally sounded unbelievable!
Should she believe him or not? Liu Xiaofei was torn between two difficult choices...
Zhou Ziwei waited for a long time, but seeing that Liu Xiaofei still did not react, he could only sigh softly. While sighing, he secretly sneered in his heart.
In fact, after discovering that his soul power could penetrate into Liu Xiaofei's body, he was almost 100% confident that he could completely heal Liu Xiaofei's injuries.
However, he didn't want to expend his soul power to do good deeds while being doubted and despised by others, so he let Liu Xiaofei make the choice herself.
Liu Xiaofei was pretending to faint, and Zhou Ziwei knew perfectly well that she did. Now that Zhou Ziwei had made his point, if she continued to pretend, it would clearly mean that she didn't believe him.
Zhou Ziwei was not a heartless person. When the car was about to plunge off the cliff, he risked multiple fractures to pull the car back.
However, that was mainly because his friend was in the car. Li Yifeng was definitely his friend, both in his past life and in this life, so Zhou Ziwei would never allow his friend to die in front of him.
But was Liu Xiaofei his friend? If there wasn't even the most basic trust, what was the point of calling her a "friend"? Therefore, Zhou Ziwei had already made up his mind. If Liu Xiaofei really wouldn't budge, he would just call an ambulance. Whether Liu Xiaofei would suffer any disabilities due to delayed treatment was her own fault!
"Alright! Since you didn't blink, I'll take that as you not believing me... Fine, I'll call 120 right now..."
As Zhou Ziwei spoke, he took out his phone to dial a number (he was the only one of the three whose phone hadn't been lost). But just as he pressed the number and before he could confirm, he suddenly saw Liu Xiaofei lying on the bed blinking her beautiful eyes frantically, as if she had gone mad...
"Uh... you blinked! So... you've chosen to believe me! If you're sure, please blink three more times..."
As soon as Zhou Ziwei finished speaking, Liu Xiaofei blinked three more times, then closed her eyes tightly. Two lines of tears flowed uncontrollably from the corners of her closed eyes.
Zhou Ziwei was slightly taken aback upon seeing this, but he didn't say anything. He immediately and decisively lifted the sheet covering Liu Xiaofei, completely exposing her curvaceous and sexy upper body.
Then he rolled up his sleeves, pretended to rub his hands together for a moment until his palms were slightly warm, and then gently placed his hands on both sides of Liu Xiaofei's neck, slowly stroking them down towards her chest...
To be honest, treating a beautiful woman's injuries in this way was quite a torment for Zhou Ziwei. After all, he inherited the body of a lecher, and even the slightest stimulation could turn him into a werewolf. Now, having to touch a naked beauty with his bare hands... it was worse than torture!
However, Zhou Ziwei really had no choice. After all, he had only just mastered the vibration frequency of soul power, and his use of it was still very unstable. For the time being, he could only input his soul power into the other person's body relatively stably through direct physical contact. If it was transmitted through air or other substances, it would be easy to make mistakes.
If the mistake is simply bounced back by the other party's soul, that would be fine. Zhou Ziwei is afraid that if he is not careful, he might turn the frequency of the invading soul power into the frequency of the soul roar... In that case, who knows if Liu Xiaofei will be turned into an idiot in an instant!
Zhou Ziwei inherited both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine from the remnant soul, so he now has a relatively good understanding of the distribution of nerves in the human body. In addition, the penetration of soul power is like bringing a miniature camera into the other person's body, allowing him to accurately find the main nerve trunks in Liu Xiaofei's neck that were severely damaged.
He then discovered that the nerve trunks in Liu Xiaofei's neck had not suffered major damage. Some lines were slightly twisted due to the electric shock, causing them to be not very smooth. The original sparse soul power in the blocked nerve lines had been largely destroyed.
Because the sensory information of a person's various organs is transmitted through the flow of this soul power, and now this flow is in a semi-closed state, and a large number of the "postmen" responsible for transmitting information have died, Liu Xiaofei will naturally feel that most of her body is in a state of numbness and unconsciousness.
Now Zhou Ziwei has taken on the task of inspecting and clearing the lines.
With the input of his massive amount of soul power, the originally twisted or withered nerve cords were quickly forcibly unblocked.
Once these pathways are restored to normal, Liu Xiaofei's meager soul power will naturally flow out and fill the gaps in the previously empty nerve pathways without any further guidance.
Perhaps because the vacuum state of the neural trunks had lasted for a long time, once it was unblocked, the surge of soul power that rushed in was more than twice that of the normal state.
An excess of soul power in the nerve trunks will naturally cause the areas through which these nerve trunks flow to become extremely sensitive.
So... when Zhou Ziwei's hands "touched" down Liu Xiaofei's beautiful collarbones on both sides of her neck, Liu Xiaofei was surprised to feel that Zhou Ziwei's hands seemed to be full of magical power. Wherever those hands touched, her body, which had been numb for a long time, would immediately regain sensation. Moreover, she would feel an indescribable, ineffable, both comfortable and uncomfortable feeling in the areas touched by Zhou Ziwei.
Unbeknownst to her, Liu Xiaofei's breathing became increasingly rapid, her cheeks flushed more and more, and the sound of her heartbeat was as clear as a drumbeat...
This added to Zhou Ziwei's pressure, leaving him with no choice but to close his eyes tightly and withdraw all the spiritual power from his auditory system, temporarily shutting down his hearing. He also reduced the tactile sensation in his hands to less than 30% of its usual level, only then was he able to calm down and continue with the work.
It seems he was quite prescient; otherwise, when his hands gently brushed over Liu Xiaofei's proudly erect breasts and he heard her uncontrollable, soul-stirring moans, Zhou Ziwei would probably have collapsed on the spot!
"Phew...it's finally all done! Try moving around a bit. If there are no other problems, you should be back to normal by now, at least you should be able to stand up."
When Zhou Ziwei's hands finally stopped stroking Liu Xiaofei's flat, smooth abdomen for a while, and he could no longer find any blocked or twisted nerve lines, he stopped.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Liu Xiaofei excitedly writhing her graceful body under his hands. Her two long, slender legs had unknowingly kicked off the sheets covering her, intertwining restlessly and anxiously. Her sexy lips were trembling slightly, and her cheeks were flushed red. She exuded a seductive and alluring charm that made people's blood boil.
Zhou Ziwei froze, feeling his brain rush with blood. He dared not stay in this dangerous place any longer. He turned around in a panic, slipped out of the room without saying a word, and locked the door behind him.
Only after leaving the house and walking a good distance to his room, making sure he could no longer hear Liu Xiaofei's panting, did Zhou Ziwei dare to restore his hearing to normal. He then eagerly rushed into the bathroom and took a cold shower...
At this moment, the inexplicable restlessness in Liu Xiaofei's body gradually disappeared and cooled down. The poor girl lay naked on the bed for a long time before grabbing the quilt at the head of the bed, covering her mouth and crying bitterly.
She never imagined that the man she had always thought had designs on her could so calmly and peacefully treat her naked, alluring body. On the contrary, she, a proud girl who had always thought all men were worthless, behaved so pathetically under that man's hands, like a sexually frustrated virgin...
At that moment, she hated herself terribly. She realized how ridiculous her past pride and suspicion of Zhou Ziwei had been! She wished she had just been electrocuted by the water heater; that way, she wouldn't have been so humiliated! She truly didn't know how she would face Zhou Ziwei in the future, or what kind of woman he would see her as…
Humiliated and ashamed tears flowed like a dam bursting, soaking the sheets until Liu Xiaofei, exhausted from crying, finally drifted off to sleep naked...
Uh... is it really necessary to be so sad?
Zhou Ziwei was also worried that Liu Xiaofei might do something rash, so he didn't let the ladybug leave with him. Instead, he used the ladybug on the curtain to see everything that was happening. He was relieved to see that Liu Xiaofei didn't intend to commit suicide.
Unable to bear constantly watching a stunningly beautiful, naked woman lying there in such a seductive pose in his mind's eye, Zhou Ziwei quickly used his soul power to call the ladybug back.
Zhou Ziwei had originally planned to complain to the hotel, since the water heater in the guest room was leaking electricity and almost electrocuted the guest, which was no small matter.
Even if the hotel compensates them with 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, that would probably be too lenient for them.
However, seeing Liu Xiaofei's current state, Zhou Ziwei figured she probably didn't want too many people to know about this, so he naturally wouldn't cause any trouble. Even if she wanted to file a complaint, he would wait until Liu Xiaofei had come to terms with it before filing one herself.
After a while, when it was time for the three of them to have dinner as agreed, Li Yifeng called Zhou Ziwei and together they ran to Liu Xiaofei's room and banged on the door repeatedly, but after a long time they didn't hear a response.
Li Yifeng, unaware of what had happened, hurriedly called a waiter over, wanting someone to help open the door and go in to check, but was immediately stopped by Zhou Ziwei.
They said Liu Xiaofei might be too tired from the journey and has fallen asleep, so they shouldn't wake her. They'll just bring her some food after they've eaten.
Only after the two had walked away did Liu Xiaofei get out of bed, wrapped in a sheet. She sat there in a daze for a long time before letting out a helpless sigh and finding her change of clothes to put on…
No matter what, Liu Xiaofei is a girl with a strong character, and she wouldn't be so afraid to hide in her shell for the rest of her life and never dare to see anyone again because of this.
Since she has to face what she has to face sooner or later, why should she keep hiding?
When Zhou Ziwei and Li Yifeng returned from dinner, Li Yifeng was completely unaware of Liu Xiaofei's perfectly normal expression, while Zhou Ziwei couldn't help but be secretly amazed, thinking that this little girl's mentality stabilized really quickly. It seems that she is indeed an elite high-achieving student who has undergone special training at the police academy!
However, when Zhou Ziwei personally handed Liu Xiaofei the several local snacks he had ordered from the restaurant, her flustered movements betrayed her seemingly calm exterior, making Zhou Ziwei secretly chuckle.
Zhou Ziwei didn't sleep all night on the mountain. Although he was supported by a strong spiritual force and didn't feel sleepy, he still felt a bit tired.
That evening, Zhou Ziwei, as usual, first practiced Niu-style Tai Chi in his room until he was drenched in sweat. After taking a cold shower, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep comfortably.
However, around midnight, Zhou Ziwei suddenly woke up from his dream. Calculating the time, it seemed that the independent soul he had created inside the ladybug was running out of time.
Zhou Ziwei didn't need to turn on the light or get up to search. With just a slight thought, he immediately and accurately located the ladybug's current position through the connection between their souls. He could also clearly feel that the independent soul within the ladybug was like a candle flame flickering in the wind, as if it might go out at any moment.
Moreover, through the communication of souls, Zhou Ziwei could truly feel the ladybug's longing and attachment to life, just like a terminally ill patient showing a survival instinct on the verge of death...
Zhou Ziwei felt a pang of pain in his heart. Although it was an independent soul, it was still a small part of his soul, like a clone of himself. Therefore, he felt a deep empathy for the little ladybug's sorrow.
Zhou Ziwei gritted his teeth, used his consciousness to communicate with the ladybug, and made it fly over and land on his finger. Then he immediately mobilized the powerful soul energy in his sea of souls, desperately inputting it into the tiny body of the little bug at a unique vibrational frequency...
Volume 1, Rebirth of a Prodigy, Chapter 113: Continuing Life
Although the ladybug's body was small, the amount of soul power it could contain was unimaginable. When Zhou Ziwei's powerful soul power was injected into the ladybug's body, it immediately felt that the independent soul body, which was turning like the setting sun in that special soul space, was being suppressed by the ladybug's original soul as it gradually awakened, and was gradually dissipating and blurring.
Zhou Ziwei hesitated for a moment, then immediately mobilized his soul power, frantically rushing towards the disintegrating independent soul entity, and resolutely burrowing into it...
Under normal circumstances, once an independent soul is formed, it becomes very difficult for Zhou Ziwei to allow his soul power to continue entering this relatively independent soul.
Even though Zhou Ziwei mastered that unique oscillation frequency, he could only ensure that his soul power flowed freely within his body. However, once it entered the soul body, it became extremely difficult.
