The Exorcist

“Why?!” Bao Da Tong was shocked to see that Ruan Zhan’s chest was indeed a patch of shocking red. He instinctively turned his head to look at Xiao Xia, who was still in a daze. “What should we do? Where is Ah Zhan’s soul?”

“In order to protect him, Tian Yi has sealed his soul within his body.” Uncle Bao said. “Now it is as if his physical body has died, but his soul is in a coma.”

“So,,,what does that mean?”

“Da Tong, you know that if a person’s body dies, their soul cannot forcibly remain attached. The body still decays in that case. But Ah Zhan’s situation is different. His soul is sealed within his body by Tian Yi, which means his soul hasn’t left his body, and his flesh won’t decay.

“Are you saying…he can be resurrected?” Bao Da Tong was both surprised and delighted.

Uncle Bao was silent for a while, then shook his head awkwardly, “Theoretically, yes, because his soul hasn’t left, and it’s not being forcibly attached, so the body doesn’t decay, and there’s a possibility of resurrection. But in reality, his heart is shattered. If his body can’t be saved medically, it’s the same outcome. What’s more, his soul cannot remain unconscious within his body for a long time. Once it awakens, his life will truly be gone. That is to say, the moment he wakes up is the moment he truly dies.”

“How long does he have?” Bao Da Tong asked, “Neither of us are medical experts. Maybe we should take him to the hospital to have a look. The problem is how long his soul can stay unconscious!”

Uncle Bao bent down and carefully checked Ruan Zhan’s breath, “His soul will wake up in less than ten days.” He stopped talking, recalled the scene at that time, and sighed, “I understand now. At the last moment, the father-son bond overcame the lingering evil aura, which made Tian Yi choose to protect his son and abandon himself in that instant.” The moment the crystal dagger shattered, the evil aura of Tian Yi was completely shaken out. With his skill, there would be no problem if he wanted to protect himself, but at that moment, any father would leave the chance of survival to his son. There’s nothing more to say about it. But that formation was too powerful, and the impact of the crystal dagger fragments was too fierce, so he couldn’t protect Ah Zhan’s body even though he risked his own soul being scattered. Perhaps he wanted to keep his son’s soul and see if a miracle could happen within ten days. Right?”

He suddenly asked a question, but he didn’t face Bao Da Tong. Instead, he spoke to the string of beads in his hand. Strangely, the string of beads seemed to have a consciousness. When Uncle Bao asked his question, the silver thread of the beads emitted a faint glow, as if indicating agreement.
