Chapter 39 was my oversight.
Sunlight streams through the large floor-to-ceiling windows into the luxurious bedroom.
Beside the large bed were the Federation's most advanced medical equipment. Inside the transparent light blue tubing, amber liquid flowed slowly, sustaining Qian Jihe's life, which should have ended long ago.
He struggled to open his eyes and looked at the young man standing at the foot of the bed, his eyes filled with hope.
"satisfy!"
In fact, he could no longer see clearly, but the butler, Ah Zhong, had already synchronized the other person's image to the X11 on the way he brought the person over.
This brain-computer interface device can read his brainwaves and convert them into sound. It can also convert external sounds and images into electrical signals and project them into the visual and auditory sensory areas of his brain.
Therefore, even though he could only see a blurry shadow in front of him, Qian Jihe was very clear that this young body perfectly met his requirements.
With a smile on his face, Nie Zhifeng walked to the bedside.
Just as he was talking eloquently and enthusiastically promoting the perfect container he had been searching for for more than three months, Cao Yingchong, who was stuck outside the villa area gate by the security system, finally received the long-awaited phone call.
Upon hearing that the old man was dying, Qian Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, then seemed to laugh in anger: "What kind of friends does Fang Ran have? They're crazy..."
"Don't hang up!"
Cao Yingchong asked very quickly, "Does your father have wilt disease?"
This sentence successfully prevented Qian Zhiyuan from hanging up the phone.
Qian Jihe himself does not hold a high position within the group, but considering that there is a 50% probability that the wilt disease is caused by genetic factors, in order to avoid the media making a big deal out of Qian Bo'an's health condition, the group announced that he suffers from another incurable disease.
It can't be found online, and even many members of the Qian family don't know what disease Qian Jihe has.
"Who are you?"
Cao Yingchong didn't know Qian Zhiyuan, but her older brother and cousin Fang Ran had mentioned him several times. He was a good-for-nothing idiot who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, and had been swindled out of a lot of money by others.
When Qian Zhiyuan was young, he pursued Fang Ran. Only this "white moonlight" could make the pleasure-seeking, wine-drinking young master Qian take the initiative to call a stranger.
"Who I am is unimportant; what matters is whether you still want your inheritance."
Cao Yingchong relayed Qi Te's original words and stated that he was at the entrance of the villa area at that moment.
"My brother has been taken hostage by a mind-controlling ability user and should be at your father's manor by now. As for what they want to do, I have no idea."
"Qian Zhiyuan, my purpose is to save people; I have absolutely no interest in your Qian family's affairs. If you don't want your father's inheritance to be taken by others, authorize the access control now and let me in immediately. Perhaps it's not too late..."
...................
Inside the bedroom, the two parties finished their haggling.
Nie Zhifeng looked at Qi Te with icy eyes: "Mr. Qian, let's begin!"
Qi Te stood motionless, his nostrils flaring, his breathing rapid, his heart beating faster, and his blood circulation accelerating.
Everything around me seemed to be covered by a frosted filter, blurry and hazy, then began to distort and deform. It was like a spilled palette, all mixed together.
The hospital bed, the medical equipment, and Qian Jihe on the bed, Nie Zhifeng, who was concentrating on using his supernatural abilities, stretched and twisted his body, looking like a deformed monster.
Thump, thump
Thump, thump!
My heart is beating faster and faster.
The sodium citicoline tablets I took more than an hour ago have reached their peak efficacy after being digested and absorbed.
The central nervous system was highly excited, and Zit's pupils trembled slightly.
To his astonishment, he saw tiny particles emerging from Qian Jihe's head, which sometimes appeared as large as a bucket and at other times shrank to the size of a fruit kernel.
Then, countless particles, emitting a fluorescent white glow, swarmed toward him like a swarm of bees.
At the same time, the bionic brainwave defibrillator, which is scheduled to activate in an hour and a half, counts down to the last second.
An electric current surged.
It penetrates the skin and reaches deep into the skull.
Get out of my brain!
In his mind, Zite roared and howled, and his body trembled violently under the intense stimulation of the electric shock.
"What's going on?!"
Nie Zhifeng looked at Qi Te, who was convulsing and rolling his eyes, in surprise, and hurriedly went forward to check on him.
"Damn it!"
"You actually wore a stun gun? You think that'll stop me?"
Nie Zhifeng quickly removed the patch; once the consciousness transfer began, it was impossible to stop.
Unlike last time, Zite clearly felt another consciousness enter his brain.
But this time, he was no longer in a hopeless situation with no way to fight back.
..................
"Stop, stop!"
Ji Chenyu stared at the red dot on his phone screen representing Qi Te's location: "This is it!"
Before being taken into custody, Qi Te had already turned on his phone's location services and shared them in a Feixun group chat.
Cao Yingchong immediately slowed down and slowly pulled over to the side of the road.
Looking at the four-meter-tall European-style openwork metal door in front of them, Cao Yingchong and Ji Chenyu both looked at the petite Qiao Yi.
Only when air elemental abilities reach Rank A can one truly achieve flight. Similarly, speed-based abilities also require reaching this level to allow for scaling walls and rooftops. Even if the two of them were to use their full potential now, they would only end up with bloodied heads.
"Tch~"
Joey rolled her eyes: "Who said I was a tagalong?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong!" Ji Chenyu immediately softened his tone and tried to appease her: "Sister, dear sister, from now on, whatever you say goes."
"Hmph~ That's more like it."
Joey nodded smugly, put her hand on Cao Yingchong's shoulder, and the two of them disappeared on the spot.
"Sister Qiao, and me too... Holy crap!"
Before Ji Chenyu could finish speaking, he had already entered the room.
"What are you yelling for? Trying to attract attention, you idiot?"
Qiao Yi patted Ji Chenyu on the back of the head, and Ji Chenyu immediately shut his mouth. The three of them used their special abilities and rushed towards the location they were looking for.
..................
Under the intense stimulation of the electric shock, the drug's effects were amplified, and intracranial pressure surged, causing Zit to fall into a brief coma.
Two nurses quickly connected a life monitor to his body, administered antihypertensive medication, and performed emergency treatment.
Soon, the monitor showed that all indicators had returned to normal thresholds.
"Mr. Qian?"
Nie Zhifeng looked at the awakened boy with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
The boy frowned and asked, "What happened?"
"You took a large amount of choline-containing medication, which caused an increase in intracranial pressure and made you unconscious for more than three minutes."
"I?"
The boy raised his right arm and tried to move his fingers.
Nie Zhifeng immediately changed his tune, saying, "What I meant was that Qi Te took medication before coming here. Perhaps the adjustments last night made him aware of it. He's trying to use drugs and an electric shock device to counter my abilities."
"But he's being too naive, don't you think?"
As he spoke, Nie Zhifeng kept his eyes on the boy, observing the subtle expressions on his face.
Even before he locked onto Qi Te, he had hackers conduct a detailed and comprehensive investigation into his life.
The fact that he was able to skip a grade and enter the School of Biology at Haicheng University through a competition is enough to prove that this young man's IQ is above average.
But he never imagined that the other party's thinking was so sharp that they not only sensed the invasion of their brain but also made ample preparations for it.
Nie Zhifeng was a little curious about where Qi Te found these methods for dealing with people with mental sequence abilities, as they couldn't be found online.
However, this is not the time to study this issue. Drugs and electric shocks cannot prevent consciousness transfer, but abnormal brain values theoretically have a certain probability of affecting consciousness alternation.
It is certain that Qian Jihe's consciousness has been successfully transferred, but it remains to be seen who is currently occupying the brain and controlling the body.
"You don't need to tell me all this."
The boy propped himself up, then moved his legs and tried to take a few steps. His movements were a little stiff at first, but after walking back and forth once, he seemed to have adapted to his new body. His limbs became more and more coordinated, and his steps became longer.
Finally, he started running around the huge room.
The boy punched a fist and exclaimed, "This feeling... ah, it's wonderful!"
The boy went to the window, opened it, and took a deep breath.
"Youth is wonderful!"
The slight doubt in Nie Zhifeng's eyes finally vanished.
"Ah Zhong, please invite Lawyer Lin in..."
..................
After filming Mr. Qian making his will, the boy gestured to the butler to press Mr. Qian's fingerprints.
Soon, it was time to sign the papers.
Attorney Lin took out a pen from his chest pocket and respectfully presented it to the boy.
Just as the pen tip was about to touch the paper, the boy suddenly gagged and then rushed to the window to breathe heavily.
"Mr. Qian!"
Nie Zhifeng nervously stepped forward, intending to help the boy up, but his arm was twisted behind his back.
"It's nice to see you again, Senior Nie."
Cao Yingchong and Qiao Yi suddenly appeared and grabbed Nie Zhifeng from both sides.
Qi Te was speechless for a moment. Do all pretentious people like this kind of way of speaking?
"How could you...?"
Before Nie Zhifeng could finish speaking, he immediately realized what was happening and stared wide-eyed at "Mr. Qian" by the window in disbelief.
"How is that possible?!"
Qi Te turned around and stared coldly at Nie Zhifeng.
The surprise and confusion on Nie Zhifeng's face flashed by in an instant.
He quickly realized that the slight possibility he had been vaguely worried about had become an undeniable reality.
Qian Jihe's consciousness was indeed successfully transferred, but at this point, the dominant figure was not Mr. Qian, but Qi Te himself.
"You acted quite well, little guy. You even fooled me, hehe~"
Nie Zhifeng's lips curled slightly, and he shook his head with a cold laugh: "It was my carelessness, but you always manage to bring me surprises!"
