Chapter 151 - Inventing the Soul (2/2)
“…is that they couldn’t put them into Nezha’s mind!” Hao Ning realized that all of a sudden and interrupted Xiao Hong. “Nezha is the Lotus’s incarnation. So, his soul is different from human. There is also a saying that Nezha doesn’t have any soul. Thus, no magic weapon can read Nezha’s mind.” Hao Ning’s description was more and more like the legendary story. He looked at Nezha and said, “By the way, do you have a soul or not?” After saying this, he took a glance at Zhou Yuan either intentionally or unintentionally
“How is that possible?” Nezha shook his head, laughing. “Though I am the incarnation of lotus, I have souls. But my soul is different.”
“Then there is another possibility,” Hao Ning wondered, “The bug is only effective to certain people. It’s not very helpful for those with special souls.”
“That makes sense, indeed,” Xiao Hong nodded to show approval. “So what happened was that someone wanted the bugs to read Nezha’s minds. As a result, it failed. So it was decided to adopt the fallback solution by putting bugs in his eyes, ear, nose and mouth to spy on what he saw, heard, smelt and tasted.”
“Creepy,” Zhou Yuan felt sick as he heard it, “Is this person a voyeur?”
“Nezha, who the hell is this person? Do you know?” Hao Ning thought the thing was more complicated than he imagined when he heard Xiao Hong’s analysis. “Based on what you’ve said, you have just arrived on earth.” That evoked Hao Ning curiosity about how Nezha came to the world. But he thought twice and didn’t ask it. “Who wants to watch you from every angle?”
“I didn’t know he had been lying to me! He has no plan to help me find my teacher,” said Nezha. He didn’t speak until he heard the analysis. He became really nervous and knelt in front of Hao Ning. “I beg you the master to save my teacher!” He almost cried out after saying this.
“What are you doing?” Hao Ning was originally immersed in the analysis then he got flustered when he saw Nezha knelt down suddenly.
Xiao Hong could not help laughing at Hao Ning’s panic. But when he saw the serious look of Nezha, he was hurried to help him up. But unexpectedly, Nezha still knelt down and refused to stand up. Hao Ning had no other way but to say that he would try his best to help Nezha. Then Nezha stood up.
“You look exactly as the same as Long Fei!” cursed Hao Ning in mind. “All of you are used to force others.” Though he was thinking like this, he still said, “I can only guarantee that I will do whatever I can do. You can not blame me if things are way out of my league.”
“Okay, as long as the master can help me,” said Nezha with a smile through tears, “there is nothing you can’t do.”
“By the way, Hao Ning, when did you became,” asked Xiao Hong with the strain of not laughing, “the Master Hongjun?”
“Nonsense! Don’t follow the crowd.” Hao Ning blushed and ignored the question. He asked Nezha, “You said that you have trouble. What do you mean? Have you any idea who put the Spiritual Flying Bugs on you?”
“Spiritual Flying,” Liu Shuai whispered to correct him, but Hao Ning ignored him.
“If I guess right, it is Mr. Fei who did this,” Nezha murmured, bent his head.
“Yeah,” Hao Ning and others sat down and had a few swallows of tea. As Liu Shuai sipped and slurped the tea, he said, “Well.”
“Don’t you think it is this weird?” said Nezha while looked at Hao Ning. “You guys already knew that person is Mr. Fei?”
“We didn’t know,” Hao Ning waved his hand with a smile. “But when you told us it is him, we are not surprised by it at all.”
“Sorry,” Xiao Hong asked doubtfully. “The Mr. Fei you guys are talking is Fei Changhe, the boss of Qihe Group?”
“Fei Changhe?” They cried out with one voice. “Is he Mr. Fei?”
“Yes,” Nezha nodded at the same time.
Looking at the reaction of Nezha and others, Xiao Hong frowned and said, “What’s the matter with you?”
“Well… Things are like this,” Hao Ning explained as he scratched his head. “Nezha, you may think that we saved you out of the blue at the night when you were kidnapped. But, in fact, at that night, we have seen the whole process. The riffraff fought against each other; then you guys picked up the pieces; and then Mr. Fei appeared; and then Doctor Xue saved lives; then you erased the memories; and finally, you came out and used your the Red Armillary Sash.”
Nezha didn’t speak but Zhou Yuan said to himself, “In this way, Mr. Fei we saw that night is the boss of Qihe Group as Xiao Hong has mentioned. I have never heard of a boss of the mining company is interested in this.”
“Yes,” Liu Shuai nodded. “Though we don’t know the character of Mr. Fei, his subordinates behaved badly. People from different groups killed each other to get the treasure and those from the same group also did this out of jealousy. Judging from this, Mr. Fei is not a good person as well.”
“Well, you outsiders know better than me. I mean, I think I know someone, but in fact not deep enough,” said Nezha with a sigh when he heard Liu Shuai’s words. Then he said out of curiosity, “What did you just say? You guys watched all the process last night? I didn’t find it, but how could his subordinates didn’t find you guys either? They are very competent with many magical weapons.”
Zhou Yuan was glad and planned to show the illusion created by him. Then Xiao Hong interrupted him, “Hao Ning, what do you mean? I am a little confused. Does Nezha have anything to do with Doctor Xue?”
