”Brother Mo Fan, take me somewhere higher,” Xinxia said.

”Aye!” Mo Fan lifted Xinxia, together with her wheelchair and headed to the top of a signal tower constructed recently.

”What I said before was pure speculation; if it doesn't work, we'll have to leave right away,” Lingling reminded Mo Fan and Xinxia.

Mo Fan nodded without saying a word.

Up on the signal tower, they could easily see how the quarantine zone had turned into a landfill where people were gathering at the boundary of the magic barrier and slamming into it violently.

It was unclear where the people had gotten their strength from. Usually, the magic formation could easily hold out against normal people, regardless of their numbers. However, these patients seemed to possess some kind of evil power that granted them greater strength!

Xinxia bit her lips upon seeing this.

”Let's begin, I'll be holding the orb,” Mo Fan said.

Xinxia nodded. She crossed her hands in front of her chest, as if she were trying to unleash the power deep within her soul.

The Spirit Ripple was untraceable. Mo Fan only felt a pleasant tone ringing inside his mind like a flute, yet he could not detect anything when he focused.

Mo Fan knew Xinxia's Spirit Ripple was spreading across the city, and was patting the minds of the patients like a pair of gentle hands.

Xinxia frowned. As she was pacifying the patients, she too was influenced by their negative emotions. Xinxia could clearly sense the anger and hatred deep within their hearts.

They were being tortured by the disease, and yet the government was helpless, and the world organization was reluctant to lend them a hand. It was as if they had been abandoned by the world, waiting for their deaths in the quarantine zone!

As she listened to the thoughts of the patients, she began to recall some faint memories in her mind.

Abandoned...

Her mother had abandoned her, just like the people who abandoned her in Bo City amid the calamity...

A strange sadness and anger rose inside Xinxia's heart. How could people be so merciless? She had always treated them sincerely and with utter kindness, and yet, why did Gulan try to place the blame on her? It was her that was bold enough to come to save the people!

Xinxia wanted to open her eyes, but she realized that she was unable to wake up, surrounded by darkness, and an icy aura… it felt like… a fridge, the fridge in the supermarket that she hid inside in order to stay alive...

”Xinxia!”

She heard a voice all of a sudden. It sounded so familiar.

”Xinxia, Xinxia!”

Mo Fan shook Xinxia softly. For some reason, Mo Fan could feel Xinxia being infected by the evil presence, it was trying to remind her of her painful, infuriating past!

”Quick, transfer the energy to me, stop letting the evil energy influence you, do you understand!?” Mo Fan held her trembling hands tightly as he spoke in a serious voice.

Xinxia could not wake up, yet she saw someone shoving the door of the fridge open and carrying her out of it. She could feel Mo Fan warm hands on her hands and shoulders...

”Did I let the thing influence me, too?” Xinxia slowly calmed down. She recalled how Mo Fan had always protected her, not allowing her to suffer even the slightest. Her heart that was initially like a rolling black tide immediately calmed down, and the black water started to clear up too.

Xinxia finally opened her eyes. They were pure and clean, and were so pretty that Mo Fan could not move his eyes away from them.

She looked at Mo Fan with a hint of relief.

Once she gathered her thoughts, the evil power could no longer influence her!

Her faltering expression was replaced by a firm look. Her thoughts transformed into a greater tide, driving the evil presence into the Essence Orb on Mo Fan's hand!

The chime of the Spiritual Bonsho echoed throughout the quarantine zone. The people could not hear it, but their hearts reacted to it. Holy chants in Sanskrit echoed in their minds, pacifying them.

{TL Note: A bonsho is a large bell found in Buddhist temples.}

The patients fell to the ground, starting with those that had gathered at the boundary of the magic barrier. As the spiritual disease was cleansed, they all fell into a deep sleep. The evil driving them was actually overdrawing their energy, so they were immediately overwhelmed by fatigue as soon as it vanished!

”What's going on? Is she hypnotizing the people?” The commander raised his head and glanced at the Candidate on the signal tower.
