Chapter 272: Chapter 182: Help

"She..."

"Her personality has completely changed, too. I’m certain of it."

Lu Anning’s tone was firm, yet it carried a hint of fear and trepidation toward the unknown. Although she was an Extraordinary Being, she had never encountered anything so bizarre.

"Is it just a change in her tastes?"

After a moment of thought, Su Xing rested his right hand on his chin and asked hesitantly. He felt that this change alone wasn’t conclusive proof of anything, as everything Lu Anning had described could be explained by a mental illness.

"Coach Su."

"Of course, it’s not just that."

"Ever since I noticed something was wrong, I’ve been carefully observing her other small details. But my observations have revealed many, many things that are different from how she used to be."

"Most importantly... everything about her feels deliberate. It’s like she’s mimicking someone else in her daily life."

...

To be honest,

Su Xing trusted Lu Anning’s judgment.

Because,

she was the disciple he had trained himself.

With Lu Anning’s current realm and power, her perception was far beyond that of an ordinary person. With careful observation, she could see right through someone.

Most importantly,

Lu Anning’s story connected the dots.

She had mentioned before that the friend’s cousin seemed to be consciously imitating her own daily habits. It made sense that this friend, after being "infected," would naturally begin to mimic as well. It was perfectly logical.

"So..."

"You also think she’s been afflicted?"

Su Xing asked after careful consideration.

"Yes."

"My friend is just an ordinary person."

"An ordinary person has no way to resist an Extraordinary power. It’s very likely she was afflicted without anyone ever noticing."

Lu Anning said with great seriousness.

"I understand."

Su Xing nodded.

"Lu, I’ll take care of this for you. Just leave me an address."

"Coach Su, thank you so much."

Lu Anning sent a voice message. Even though it was just a single message, Su Xing could still hear the gratitude in her voice.

"It’s nothing."

After replying, Su Xing silently placed his phone to the side. He gazed out the window, a thought forming in his mind:

’She must be a very important friend.’

However,

this matter wasn’t going to be easy to handle.

First of all,

the situation sounded terrifying,

but it might not actually be that big of a deal.

Perhaps,

it was just some special sequence user’s doing.

They wouldn’t need to change the common sense or cognition of everyone involved. They could achieve this simply by altering the awareness and living habits of Lu Anning’s friend.

Although,

Su Xing couldn’t figure out the motive,

it was indeed more plausible than altering the perceptions and common sense of everyone connected to her.

If things really were headed in a bad direction,

then this incident had likely already escalated to a massive scale.

The foot traffic at that Summer Resort could only be described as endless. Even that was an understatement; the number of people who had undergone this change might already be enormous.

Whether it was

a prank or something more sinister,

the key to resolving this was to find the culprit.

However,

finding people had never been Su Xing’s strong suit.

And so,

he decided to ask for help.

But,

this person had to be of high standing.

Otherwise, if the situation truly was bad, and the person helping couldn’t handle it, things would get very troublesome. It might even alert the enemy, making it even harder to deal with later.

As for who to choose,

Su Xing already had someone in mind.

Li Longxuan.

He knew Su Xing was back,

and would definitely want to have a little chat.

As long as Su Xing found a hidden spot and released a bit of his aura, he could naturally draw him out. Besides, he was the most powerful person Su Xing knew.

At least,

the current Su Xing definitely couldn’t defeat him.

And he seemed to value Su Xing highly, even being willing to let him enter the Spirit Realm. Although he hadn’t yet said what he needed Su Xing to do, he definitely needed him for something. So, asking him for a small favor shouldn’t be too difficult.

Additionally,

Su Xing also wanted to use this connection

to see if the special organization had any hidden martial arts manuals left over from the past.

Although

the special organization had no Martial Artists,

it wouldn’t be strange for them to have manuals.

After his experience with the human race in the Spirit Realm, he had grown interested in fusing martial arts as a new way to improve himself. Coincidentally, the special organization was the largest group he could access.

Perhaps,

it could be helpful to him.

In reality,

Su Xing had higher hopes for the Martial God Hall.

If he could completely annihilate the Martial God Hall in the future, or reach some sort of cooperation with it, its profound resources should allow his strength to skyrocket.

However,

such an opportunity had not yet arrived.

Thinking of this, Su Xing shook his head. These things were still far too distant for him. The current priority was to find a way to increase his strength and, at some point, break through to the sixth rank.

"Hmm..."

"Time to go see him."

The aura of the Profound Sword Stance instantly enveloped his body. Then, Su Xing strode out of Su Yu’s residence and headed toward the place where he had first met Li Longxuan.

Sure enough,

there he sat,

as if he had been waiting for Su Xing all along.

"Elder Li."

Su Xing said very politely.

"Haha, no need to be so humble. I’ve already heard about you from Lin Yiming and those other three little rascals."
