Stabilizing Madness

Chapter 40: Finalize

Views:

Shen Tingyu sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes fixed on Xu Qingran.

It was not until the nurse announced the results that I came to my senses.

He heard his own voice and asked calmly, "What?"

The nurse did not notice anything unusual about him, and repeated happily: "Mr. Xu's soul spirit is type D!"

"The dean and his men are on their way!"

"God knows how long it has been since the Empire had an S-level or higher D-type appear! The last D-type detected was a B-level. I heard that the B-level lady later successfully paired up with an E-type from the Evil Tower. After getting along with each other, the E-type is now very obedient!"

The nurse's tone was cheerful and joyful, and she didn't notice that Shen Tingyu's knuckles were white from being pinched on his hands, which were resting on his legs.

After she finished speaking, she frowned and thought, "But... Mr. Xu seems to have a compatible partner? I remember the compatibility was quite high, so there's nothing we can do about it."

“After that, we will have to conduct more detailed confirmation and checks to ensure that there are no errors in the data, and then we can announce the results!”

The nurse hurriedly prepared to leave. Before leaving the ward, she turned back and reminded, "By the way, although Mr. Xu's soul has temporarily stabilized, the three days after the finalization are a critical period that requires extra attention. If you are not careful, he may become mentally ill."

"General Shen, if you know a partner who is highly compatible with him, you can invite that person over."

"If there are any mental fluctuations during sleep, it would be best to have a partner to comfort you. If not... it doesn't matter, you can call the medical station urgently!"

There was a faint sound of the door opening and closing.

The space was not very large, and it returned to silence after the excited nurse left.

Shen Tingyu sat there stiffly for a very long time before he responded.

He blinked his eyes and slowly loosened his clenched fists. The stone in his heart was lifted, but it seemed to drag his whole heart down to a deeper and colder place.

I feel cold all over.

Shen Tingyu was a little dazed.

Why, would it be D

His expression had never been as ugly as it was now. He could no longer pretend to be gentle as usual.

The words the nurse just said are still ringing in my ears.

For everyone, the biggest value of D type is as a tool to control E type. They are soft-tempered, easy to compromise, and easy to control. In essence, they are controlled and then used to restrict the matching E type.

No matter how powerful an E-type person is, if he has weaknesses, his life will be ruined.

Shen Tingyu felt extremely resistant just thinking about it. He didn't even think that the choice dominated by the nature of the soul was qualified to be called "love". That kind of emotion made him feel sick.

He thought he had eliminated all possibilities that could become his weaknesses, but he never expected that Xu Qingran would suddenly appear.

Shen Tingyu knew that Xu Qingran was about to be stereotyped, and was prepared for him to be stereotyped into some other special type. He even thought that with such a magical soul like his, he might break the rules and be stereotyped into E.

I just never thought it would be D.

The person on the hospital bed had his eyes closed and was breathing slowly.

After being formed, the spiritual energy that became particularly strong was very clear and different from anything he had ever encountered. Just like him, he was so special that people couldn't ignore him and unconsciously wanted to get closer.

Shen Tingyu subconsciously stood up and took a step back.

He didn't hate Xu Qingran, he just felt a little confused and didn't know how to face Xu Qingran now.

Finally, I could only leave the ward and go outside to calm down alone. I tried to accept that the friend I just wanted to get to know better suddenly turned out to be the most self-restrained D type.

While sitting in the hall in deep thought, he saw the authorities dressed in formal attire walking hurriedly in groups upstairs. In the crowd, a blonde woman suddenly turned a corner and ran out, her high heels clacking loudly on the ground.

Finally, he came to him and exclaimed, "Shen Tingyu?"

She is Xie Nanjun’s sister, Xie Nanyi.

Xie Nanyi is a 3S-level I type person who has shown great talent in scientific research since childhood. She just graduated with a doctorate last year and is currently studying in her father's laboratory.

Coincidentally, the director of this hospital is her second uncle Xie Shaoheng.

"… I'm shocked. The newly-minted S-Class D-Type is actually your fiancée, the famous eldest son of the Xu family!"

In the private office of the hospital, Xie Nanyi placed one of the cups of hot coffee in front of Shen Tingyu.

Shen Tingyu raised his eyes, smiled faintly, and glanced at her coldly: "Be careful what you say, she is Tianyi's fiancée."

Xie Nanyi rolled her eyes.

This is just to deceive others. Doesn't he have any idea who took the specimen chip in the first place

"Hey, but he's an S-class D-type, so there's a chance he can help you repair your spirit pool! I really regret that I shouldn't have helped you in the first place. If I had done that, you might have already coaxed him into your hands today. Why would we still be worried?!"

If there are five people in the Empire who know how to swap specimen chip registration information, then Xie Nanyi is the hidden sixth one. The old professor who taught her in college was one of the people who knew this technology. He discovered that she had the qualifications and secretly taught her the method.

I was just afraid of getting her into trouble, so I never told anyone about it.

The only ones who knew about it were her father, Xie Nanjun and Shen Tingyu.

Seeing that Shen Tingyu's coffee was motionless and he was obviously in no mood, Xie Nanyi asked in confusion: "I heard Nanjun say some time ago that you and Xu Qingran are quite compatible. Why are you so resistant?"

The more compatible we are, the more resistance we feel.

Shen Tingyu thought to himself.

"However, your fiancée is really special. I'm not joining in the fun right now, but on the way here just now, I heard from my second uncle and others that Xu Qingran's stereotyped data chart is very different from others."

As Xie Nanyi spoke, she took out a bag of konjac from the pocket of her wide white robe and opened it: "It seems to be saying that the stereotypes of ordinary people are as uncontrollable as opening a blind box, but his D type is the independent choice of his soul."

Shen Tingyu, who was in a state of confusion and was empty-minded, finally reacted: "What do you mean?"

Xie Nanyi puffed up her mouth filled with snacks, frowned for a long time, and replied, "I can't say either."

"It's not like he made this choice consciously or unconsciously, but it's a little inappropriate to say it was subconscious..."

"In short, the data curve of his fluctuations during the finalization process is very chaotic. Others will slowly converge to the frequency of the finalization direction during the fluctuation period, but his flies around randomly, like picking treasures, jumping to whatever it is."

“Until the end, you can’t predict what type he will become.”

Hearing this, Shen Tingyu became even more silent.

If given a choice, Xu Qingran's personality would make him less likely to be D.

Could it be that the core inside has been replaced again

Or maybe Xu Qingran knew the truth about the perfect match and deliberately wanted to use this restrained relationship to try to contain him

Xie Nanyi didn't stay in the office for too long. She soon ran to Xu Qingran's ward to observe and study with her second uncle and others.

Only Shen Tingyu was there, sitting from day to night.

When Xie Nanyi came back, she heard from her that Xie Shaoheng had been praising Xu Qingran's D-type mental power for how pure it was. It was rare and strong, and it would be excellent no matter what it was used for. He said it would be better if his mental pool level could be higher.

"They seem to be discussing whether to have him do another soul matching with the E-types in the evil tower."

Feeling Shen Tingyu's gaze, Xie Nanyi hurriedly said: "I have already told them that Xu Qingran has a partner now, and they are 99% compatible!"

"But you know, they just hope that they can find a 98% E type."

Shen Tingyu didn't look very happy.

"However, it will take about two months to re-extract the soul information sample. By then, Xu Qingran should still be training in the military academy, so the earliest we can do it is to wait until he graduates. You..."

After a pause, she continued, "The D-type pairing will definitely be handled by the Empire, and I won't be able to help you then. If it's discovered that his real high compatibility partner is you, I won't be able to do anything about it."

As she said this, she chuckled again: "How about you try to cultivate your relationship with him in the next six months? Maybe the combination of DE is not as terrible as you think?"

Shen Tingyu stood up and smiled at her.

"Thank you." He said these two words politely and left.

Xie Nanyi pouted and took out a small bag of instant noodles from her pocket. She ate them while muttering in disdain: "Humph, based on my years of experience reading novels, men like Shen Tingyu will always be slapped in the face!"

·

Admiral Shen returned to Xu Qingran's ward.

It was getting late, and the people who came during the day left after collecting the data they wanted.

He walked to the small sofa farthest from the bed and sat there motionless without resting.

Until late at night.

The two mechanical balls that were monitoring the patient's health status suddenly made a beeping sound, like some kind of warning.

Immediately, the broadcast reported: "The patient's soul fluctuation amplitude has increased, please pay attention!"

Shen Tingyu looked up when he heard the voice.

Even if the person on the bed is in an unconscious coma, the fluctuations of his soul and mind are the same as his own, and he can fall from a calm state to a crazy state at any time.

Xu Qingran's newly upgraded spiritual power became extremely chaotic along with his unstable soul. The ward was soon enveloped by his spreading spiritual realm, which was oppressive, as if he wanted to destroy all the people and things around him that he could perceive at all costs.

Shen Tingyu suddenly laughed.

This familiar feeling, the core of the soul has not changed, but it is very unlike what a D-type should be like.

"The patient's soul fluctuations have been detected, and have exceeded the safety warning line! Data is being prepared, and the latest data is being uploaded to the rescue station—"

After Xu Qingran's mental waves were formed, they were like a newborn baby, which knew nothing about the surrounding things and rushed around without any order or distinction between friend or foe.

Due to his E-type inertial thinking, the first thought that popped into his mind was that as long as he stood by and allowed Xu Qingran's condition to continue to develop and eventually damage his own foundation, he could eliminate the biggest threat to his future plans.

The person on the hospital bed seemed to have endured the entire day.

The expression that had been calm for a long time finally couldn't help but change slightly. His brows were slightly furrowed and cold sweat was dripping. It was obvious that he was experiencing unimaginable pain in his sleep.

Shen Tingyu pursed his lips slightly.

He enjoys killing people, and he should feel comfortable seeing his target in severe pain.

However, at this moment, his already unhappy mood was not only not soothed, but he even became increasingly irritated.

Seeing the turbulent energy in Xu Qingran's soul rising again, Shen Tingyu cut off his thoughts.

He remembered what the nurse had told him.

Under normal circumstances, it would be enough to hold the patient's hand and release some mental power to regulate him. But once Xu Qingran got sick, he would go into a manic mode without caring about the lives of others, so weak micro-force was ineffective.

After hesitating for a long time, Shen Tingyu grabbed Xu Qingran's left hand under the quilt.

He retained his gentlemanly strength in his movements.

The black gloves are still on his hands.

He stared at it for a few seconds before taking off the glove. On the back of his hand, the color of the spiritual seal had turned from light to dark, and was covered with a beautiful shimmer like star sand.

Shen Tingyu didn’t know what other people would think if they saw it.

But he still had enough self-control and didn't allow himself to have any romantic thoughts.

There was another pause before the tip of the thumb touched the mark.

Then it fell gently and rubbed slightly.

Just think of it as a test of soul compatibility.

If the compatibility data between him and Xu Qingran is accurate, then their souls and spirits will hit it off and will not repel each other.

The unique E-type spiritual power, through the interaction of spiritual seals, rushed towards the person on the bed like a tide, trying to calm down his out-of-control soul power like a storm. However, the moment the two spiritual powers collided, it was like two ferocious beasts meeting, neither was willing to submit to the other, and they rubbed and collided fiercely without fusion.

The air pressure in the ward became even lower.

The D-type mental power is supposed to be as clear and tolerant as grass, trees and running water, but it is more ferocious and rampant than the E-type.

Shen Tingyu had no time to think about the meaning behind this reaction. He struggled with the mental power for a long time, but could not merge with it. Seeing that Xu Qingran's mental power showed strong resistance, he thought about withdrawing it first, but saw that the energy that was still baring its fangs and claws softened when he retreated.

The mental force that was confronting him the moment before suddenly hooked up to the power he was using to appease and pulled it back.

Even the abnormal fluctuations of the soul began to slow down.

Begin to blend.

Shen Tingyu suddenly felt as if he was being teased.

Just like - he politely asked Xu Qingran if he wanted to be friends with him, and the latter, without saying anything, fought with him fiercely and crazily. Then when he thought he was rejected and was about to stop this farce, the other party nodded to him proudly and said, "Okay."

Shen Tingyu imagined it and laughed out of anger again.

The soul of the person on the bed was comforted and gradually calmed down under control.

Seeing that he was becoming stable, Shen Tingyu slowly retracted the power he had released, but accidentally allowed the mental power that was currently suppressed by him to find an opportunity to slip towards him, and his soul did not reject it at all.

The next second, Shen Tingyu's eyes turned red in silence.

The compatible D-type mental power is both honey and poison to the E-type.

Even though we know it is poisonous, we will still become addicted after just one sip.

·

Xu Qingran was in a coma in the hospital for three days.

During this period, the fluctuations of his soul kept coming back and forth. Shen Tingyu went from initial hesitation and resistance to gradually getting used to it. In addition, he would try his best to avoid getting too close or too deep into contact with Xu Qingran.

Sometimes I go out to make phone calls to deal with matters that he had left behind.

Sometimes, I would go to Xie Nanyi's office and sit there.

That day, he had just returned from the cafeteria downstairs in the hospital. When he walked into the ward and looked up, he was surprised to find that the bed was empty. Just as he was about to look for someone, a presence suddenly appeared beside him, rushing towards him with murderous intent.

Shen Tingyu's many years of fighting experience made his first reaction to dodge and fight back.

It was not until he knocked the fruit knife out of the other person's hand that he realized it was Xu Qingran who had been in a coma for several days.

Shen Tingyu: “…”

There was silence for a moment, and the anger that was about to rise was also extinguished.

Xu Qingran looked at him and suddenly asked, "Shen Tingyu, what are you afraid of?"

He had just woken up.

The irritability and soul-tearing pain I had felt some time ago have all disappeared, and I feel as refreshed as if I were reborn. When I was groggy, I only vaguely remembered that Shen Tingyu was in the room, but I was avoiding him like the plague god.

This made him very confused.

Shen Tingyu was not surprised that he would discover what he was worried about.

Just ask him: "Do you know that your soul spirit has been successfully formed?"

Based on the changes in his own body, Xu Qingran roughly guessed the situation.

But when he woke up, there was no medical staff around, and he didn't know the result yet, so he asked indifferently: "So? Which one did I become?"

Shen Tingyu's tone was relatively calm: "Type D."

Then he asked him, "Didn't you choose it yourself?"

Xu Qingran: “?”

"What?"

Isn't it said that soul and spirit types are also quite random

System: "... It's quite random! Unless you know your soul characteristics well enough, it's really hard to guarantee! Just like not every kind and gentle person will be type D!"

Xu Qingran was not very satisfied with the result: "I am unconscious like a dead pig, what can I choose?"

"Besides, if I could choose, I would choose A instead of D."

Shen Tingyu did not respond.

Xu Qingran looked at him again, who was rarely in a good mood, and suddenly chuckled: "I see, no wonder you don't want to get close to me."

If I remember correctly, Admiral Shen was very averse to Type D.

Shen Tingyu asked him: "Then what?"

"Besides this, what else do you remember?"

Xu Qingran was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to his mouth and thought seriously for a long time.

Finally, he frowned and asked, "What else should I remember?"

The memory of that period was not clear, and the thoughts were in a mess, as if he had had many complicated dreams, and he felt sleepy and tired. He felt it was great that he could sense Shen Tingyu's movements in the occasional lucidity.

Shen Tingyu stared at him for a moment, then slowly raised a smile.

His tone was still gentle, as if he was trying hard to maintain his demeanor: "No, everything is fine. There's nothing to remember."

Xu Qingran noticed that he had a strange expression and thought he was worried about Type D.

He comforted her, "Don't worry, my official soul mate is Shen Tianyi's kid, so this disaster will never befall you."

Rather, the person he really needs to worry about is himself.

Shen Tingyu hated Type D so much, how could he carry out the subsequent strategy mission? Moreover, Shen Tingyu, a straight man, only regarded him as a friend now, and it didn't seem good to have the intention of dating a good friend.

There is no deadline anyway, so let’s put it aside for now.

Shen Tingyu: “…”

Silence, still silence.

Xu Qingran's finalization has not yet been announced to the public.

At the same time, a post suddenly appeared on the Xingya Forum, which had been silent for a few days.

[Title: Xu Qingran is crazy, but why is he dragging Shen Tingyu into this? Is he determined to ruin his future? ]
