Chapter 229 - Heard about Yufei Again (2/2)
“I need you to explain that.” Hao Ning sighed, “they assume that there is an atom the size of a football field and there are electrons outside the atomic nucleus. They can find ways to control this electron to perform operation on the soul.”
Liu Shuai now understood. That is the words said by teacher Ren in the day time. He nodded without a word.
“Yes,” Chen Busheng said, “the idea was so magic. We extracted some hypotheses out and wrote a material, which was the material saw by my grandma. We had not mentioned the idea of the soul inside the material.”
Although not discovered at that time, Yufei also speculated on the quantum state of such macroscopic particles. Chen Busheng added, “because of the observer, this macroscopic particle, such as the collapsing state of electrons, had different states. Different states would have different effects on our world, such as a kind of macroscopic electrons. The state could be like the effect of bombarding the nucleus, which changed the elements of our world—you might have seen this part from the material of my grandma. And another state of this electron could affect the soul of Xue Muhua’s hypothesis.”
“The Yang can change things while the Yin can hurt the soul…” Hao Ning mumbled and said, “what we call Yin and Yang, can change the state of macroscopic electrons.” Hao Ning suddenly thought one thing, and he sounded out Chen Busheng, “what you said about the state of the change of electrons is the spinning of electrons?”
Spinning is a property of particles, which is considered as some concepts in quantum mechanics. Hao Ning knew less about it, but he still believed it was like that, so he asked.
“It should be,” Chen Busheng nodded, “that’s all speculation—OK. Yufei also speculated other states, such as increasing the uncertain of future and changing a sort of past property of the substance. I do not catch this part.”
“OK…” Hao Ning now felt confused. Talent is talent. He did not understand that for many years and Liu Shuai and Zhou Yuan almost got insane by the knowledge. He did not continue the technical question and asked, “and then?”
“And then trouble came.” Chen Busheng said, “Yufei did not let me step closer at that period. And one day, Yufei said to me that his soul was split and cut by something. He could feel that, and he needed to study how was his soul cut and split.”
“Cut and split?” Hao Ning found the key point. That’s when Long Fei met Yufei. He asked patiently, “and then?”
“And then Yufei told me at that time he had found a method to simulate that macroscopic particle, and one small part of his soul went to another place,” Chen Busheng now covered his face, “he must continue his study at that place, and he would find me after he finished the study.”
“But that simulated macroscopic particle was very delicate,” Chen Busheng continued, “it could be used only once. He split his own soul in his dormitory for quick transferring his soul, and the macroscopic particle like a sword vanished. But the whole dormitory became very cold due to his use of tools.”
“Yin and Yang Sword!” Zhou Yuan remembered the words of 7-Son Silver Wing, and they said at that time that the soul-hurting substance could be used only once. That was the very preliminary tool. Zhou Yuan could not help but ask, “was it called Yin and Yang Sword?”
“I do not know what you are talking about…” Chen Busheng felt confused, and added, “but soon after he split his soul, that dragon came.”
“No!” Hao Ning mumbled, “Long Fei later entered the body of Yufei and Long Fei’s memory did not include what you said. How do you explain this?”
“Because before the dragon came, Yufei required me to delete the memory.” Chen Busheng shook his head, “I didn’t know where he found a semi-finished product which was conceived by Xue Muhua before for deleting memory, and then he made up them.”
And then Chen Busheng took out a little stick, which was a thinker and like that one which was used to delete memory by Nezha.
“What the hell!” Hao Ning was scared to jump after he saw it, “what, what are you going to do! Don’t delete my memory!”
“Don’t be so scared.” Chen Busheng said with a bitter smile, “this has been not useful for so long. But this is the only thing Yufei gave me and I took it always.”
“You mean,” Hao Ning relaxed, but he still took this little stick of Chen Busheng. Chen Busheng knew that he was worried and let him take the stick. Hao Ning added, “it was Yufei that let you delete his memory and then Long Fei came to the dormitory of Qing Bei University and entered the body of Yufei. You know this?”
“Yes.”
“Why?” Hao Ning thought this part was the biggest problem, “there was no reason for Yufei to let you delete his memory. It’s so strange.”
“Because Yufei had been treating Long Fei as his father,” Chen Busheng lowered his head, “what will a father do if he knows that his son risks his life and soul to save his lover’s soul and they will never get married?”
Chen Busheng lifted his head for the first time tonight with his eyes full of tears. He looked at three of Hao Ning and his friends, “you say, what will the father do?”
“…” Hao Ning was stunned and he said after he pondered for a while, “this father will beat his son and the man who hurts his son, then let the man live his own life. The father will force his son not do that stupid thing again.”
“It’s more than you said. I speak for you. ” Chen Busheng shook his head and said with a bitter smile, “if the father cares much about his son, he will treat that man who splits the soul of his son in the mood of revenge and even kill that man. And for his son, he may have imprisoned him in a way. Even if the father does not imprison him and kill that man, he will forbid his son to contact that man in any way. Because for him, that man is the bane toward his son! It is only when the two people do not meet any longer that his son can live in a safe circumstance. Right?”
Though Hao Ning did not agree with the words by Chen Busheng, he knew that it was likely that Chen was right. Though Long Fei seemed to be innocent, he was an immortal indeed. And he cared much about Yufei. If he knew Yufei did such a stupid thing for Chen Busheng, he would kill Chen Busheng, and even chewed the soul of Chen Busheng.
“How ironic is that?” Chen Busheng smiled wanly, “I lived with Yufei because of our love. Yufei took his risk to save me because of love. But I finally had to delete the memory that I lived with him. What he did was to make Long Fei not sad and make me live for the rest of my life.”
Hao Ning nodded. If Long Fei knew that Chen Busheng was about to hurt Yufei, Chen Busheng could live by Yufei’s request or Yufei did not meet Chen Busheng any more. But if Long Fei knew that Yufei hurt himself just for the love to Chen Busheng, he must kill Chen Busheng. Because Yufei was likely to continue the experiment on his own body if Chen Busheng was still alive.
That was ridiculous! Hao Ning took a wet tissue to wipe his face heavily for a refresh. If what Chen Busheng said was true, it would be uncertain that Long Fei said Li Yufei was envied by his roommates and Chen Busheng secretly agitated them.
“But then why you pushed Yufei into the river?” Liu Shuai continued to ask, “don’t you want Yufei kept alive?”
“I…” Chen Busheng opened his mouth but did not say a word.
“What?” Hao Ning answered, “go ahead!”
Now they were in the key point. The former part of Chen Busheng’s explanation was OK, but the latter part was so dubious. If Chen Busheng loved Yufei, he would not push Yufei into the river.
“It was Yufei that ordered me to push him down the river.” Chen Busheng was silent for a while and answered.
“Bullshit!” Hao Ning got so excited and stood up. He pointed at Chen Busheng and cursed, “you are such a hypocritical person. You killed your lover but hide the truth! Your explanation is just bullshit!”
“Because by that method,” Chen Busheng acted like that he did not hear Hao Ning’s roar, and said silently, “Long Fei can leave from Yufei’s body and gain freedom.”
“At that time, Yufei seemed to be another state in another place. He sometimes found me in my dream.” Chen Busheng recalled the memory, “and he seemed to have mastered some methods and already cure the problem in my soul. He told me in the dream that if I agreed, he could put my soul and his soul into that place where nobody would oppose and hate us, and we two could live happily without any discrimination.”
“So?” Hao Ning did not understand the relationship here.
“I agreed.” Chen Busheng looked at Hao Ning. “At that time, I planned to push the body of Yufei into the river without his awareness. Long Fei was the Dragon God and his soul could fall into the river. At that moment, Yufei used some methods to let Long Fei’s body rot without Long Fei’s attention. And then I dived into the river and let my soul being caught by Yufei.”
“Such a scared plan…” Hao Ning felt frightened. He would feel that the man in front of him was mental if Chen Busheng did not look normal.
“But later there were some troubles. It seemed that the place of his soul got some troubles.” Chen Busheng shook his head, “Yufei has not contacted me any longer. The other day, Long Fei appeared. The moment I saw Long Fei, I knew that he was not Yufei. But I couldn’t tolerate. I missed Yufei so much. I treated him as Yufei.”
“Till now, I heard of you from my grandma today.” Chen Busheng cried, “I knew that I could not do that.”
“Why do you believe that we know where Yufei is?” Hao Ning felt strange, “how do you judge that?”
“Because you showed this thing to my grandma,” Chen Busheng looked at Hao Ning with his eyes red, “and the thing is the one which was used to cure my soul in my dream by him. It was made into the ring shape because in our dream, we were married. You can see the ring. There is an L and a C.” Those are the initials of our family names.”
Hao Ning rushed to took off the ring and had a look. He then was speechless in the chair. There is a clear letter of L and C in the inner side of the ring.
“But this ring was not taken from Yufei.’ Liu Shuai was still confused, “we are…” Liu Shuai thought he said something wrong and stopped talking.
“I have no idea.” Chen Busheng said, “he has not found me for these years. I have no idea what happened. But I knew something today and I begged you to take me to find him.”
“Wait,” Hao Ning massaged his forehead, “I am so confused. Let me clear my thinking.”
According to Chen Busheng’s words, the Soul Cutter belongs to Yufei. Or it has close relation with Yufei. It was found from Mr. Fei. Does it mean that Yufei has a relation with Mr. Fei? So complicated!
Long Fei came to Ping Jing to search the Soul Cutter. Did that mean that he had known it? If so, the faction of Mr. Fei wanted to kill Long Fei. The reason was not the identify, namely the deity of Long Fei, and maybe they were afraid to be exposed? What’s the conspiracy? Was it related to Yufei? If it had something to do with Yufei, was Yufei the man who wanted to kill Long Fei?
Hao Ning felt so confused about this issue and he was about to discuss with Zhou Yuan and Liu Shuai outside. But they concluded nothing. Chen Busheng knew that they did not want others to know what they were talking about, so he was speechless.
The three people stood outside without any conclusion. They did not think that such a little Soul Cutter could cause so many problems.
“What should we do?” Liu Shuai asked, “Chen Busheng was waiting for our respond.”
“Respond?” Hao Ning was upset, “how can we respond? We do not know where Yufei is. So what can we respond to?”
“Then, let’s get this straight.” Zhou Yuan said, “we can say that we can’t find Yufei, but we promise that if there is any news about Yufei, we will inform him. OK?”
“OK, we have no other plan.” Hao Ning sighed.
The three entered, but found Chen Busheng was answering a call. “Mr. Yi? What? He knew where Yufei is? When? Where? OK, OK!”
Chen Busheng hanged up the call excitedly and said to Hao Ning. “It is so lucky. One of my friends said he knew where Yufei is!”
Chen Busheng was about to leave. Hao Ning felt something strange and pulled him. “Mr. Chen, why did your friend know that? Don’t you feel strange about it?”
“Oh, I sought help for that before.” Chen Busheng patted his forehead and said with a smile, “this talent, with high skills, cured many patients in my company before.”
“Mr. Yi?” Hao Ning stunned and asked, “Is he Yi Pingzhi?”
“Eh? You know him too?” Chen Busheng nodded with a smile, “how coincident! Liu Shuai, it would be nice that you two knows each other. Xiao Wen also knows him—”
Liu Shuai clutched the arms of Chen Busheng after he heard about Xiao Wen, “how did Xiao Wen know him?”
“The Yi is a doctor too, a Chinse medicine doctor.” Chen Busheng felt strange about Lou Shuai’s question. He still answered, “don’t you remember that? I wanted Mr. Yi to cure my patients as my grandpa let Xiao Wen came with us. They talked much!”
Hao Ning remembered that. The first time he met Chen Busheng was that the souls of some passengers got some trouble in the plane of Chen Busheng. Chen Busheng said at that time he found a Chinese medicine doctor to cure those patients. The grandpa was worried and let Xiao Wen followed Chen Busheng to have a look.
“That time…” Liu Shuai felt so stunned. The trouble of Xiao Wen came just since that. The needle of Yi Pingzhi could make the soul of humans get older. Xiao Wen was sick after he came back. What on earth happened? So many clues. All made us suspicious.
Hao Ning was suspicious and said to Chen Busheng, “Mr. Chen, do you really want to meet Yufei?”
“Absolutely.” Chen Busheng said immediately, “I have been waiting for many years. I want to see him!”
“You want to see him alive,” Hao Ning added, “or a dead you are caught by someone to see Yufei?”
“Absolutely a living him—what do you mean?” Chen Busheng thought Hao Ning was suggesting something, “you mean—”
“We had no idea.” Hao Ning added, “but from our information, Mr. Yi has methods to make people’s souls abnormal and the soul of Xiao Wen got trouble just after he came back. She is in an emergency this morning and now she is lying on the bed of the hospital in S city. We have investigated that this issue is related to what you called Macro Quantum. So, we came to Ping Jing to investigate this. But from what you said, we suspected that the bad condition of Xiao Wen is related to Mr. Yi.”
“If so,” Liu Shuai said seriously, “how coincident did he tell you the trace of Yufei? Don’t you doubt him?”
“Xiao Wen? She is sick? Sick soul?” Chen Busheng shouted, “just the same as what I went through at that time?”
“This…different,” Liu Shuai pondered for a while and said, “but Yi is so strange.”
“I know,” Chen Busheng said, “but I have to meet him. I haven’t seen Yufei for many years. This is my only hope, even I am going to die…” Chen Busheng looked outside, “for so many years, I have been waiting for his news, or I have already died. I must meet him in any case. Please do not stop me!”
” We won’t.” Zhou Yuan said, “we come after you. But we will use another method.”
