PDLP Chapter 178 Balance
Chapter 178 Balance
Although Adeline couldn't see Lin Hun's movements because she had no eyes, she felt a sudden burning sense of crisis. She had no time to dodge and it disappeared into her mind in the blink of an eye.
Adeline instantly felt a burning pain in her head. She was caught off guard and lost her balance in an instant. She fell to the ground with the chair with a clang.
Adeline was already close to being a superior, and she was inspired by the pain to glimpse a hint of Lin Hun's essence when he took action. However, the pain could only make her twist her body, and she didn't know how to address the noble being in front of her:
"Please ask - what did you - do to me?"
After falling down, Adeline's upper body was restrained by the chair and she lay on the floor at an angle without the help of her hands and feet, unable to stand up again.
Not every woman has Maria's skills. Even though both of them are from the same blood clan, Adeline has never received any training from beginning to end. Her status comes entirely from her special blood.
There is nothing to compare here. It is normal for different people to be good at different things.
"Nothing. You want to be elevated so I will elevate you. You want to be guided so I will guide you."
“But the process might be a little painful.”
Adeline clenched her hands. You've already done it. What's the point of telling me now? Can I stop you now? Her voice was trembling because of the pain, but she still forced herself to keep her voice steady and maintain her dignity:
"Ha, ha, then, thank you very much."
As the information in her mind began to gather, Adeline had no time to care about Lin Hun. The familiar voice sounded again, making Adeline immersed in her own world, and she unconsciously muttered in her head:
"The familiar voice is finally back."
"It rings in my head again, a guidance that belongs only to me."
"Oh - as long as you're here I'll never go back to the past... back to a time when I was powerless."
"Tick, tick. Tick, tick."
The familiar words and the reappearance of a patient in a different form herald His coming.
Lin Hun looked at Adeline, who had stopped struggling and regained her composure. The first thing he thought of was drugs. The so-called voice that sounded in her mind was more like an addiction. When the voice appeared again, her addiction was satisfied, so her mind became clear again.
Weak humans long for the strength to survive from their superiors, but when they receive revelations from their superiors, they show a persistence that is inconsistent with their minds. They long for more.
However, the revelations from the Higher Ones do not have the spreadability of drugs. They are only circulated among a small number of people. Because of this, the revelations are more precious and their impact on mankind far exceeds that of drugs.
"Adeline, my power is exactly the opposite of the nature of the power in your mind," Lin Hun took the initiative to close the distance between him and Adeline, "I want to see if I can remove the so-called sound of water from your mind."
When the information was completely condensed into a entity in Adeline's mind, a rune - "Milkweed" appeared.
"Oh, something that shows the essence of the clan?" Lin Hun peeked at the rune that belonged only to Adeline through her skin, and directly created one in front of him with fire.
"It shows the nature of the clan, but it's a pity that with this rune, the upper body will turn into a tree. Tsk, tsk, tsk, come to think of it," the rune caused Lin Hun to make an unwarranted association, "Adeline's head is equivalent to the nutrient solution, and this rune is equivalent to a seed. What on earth do these churches want to study? Plant a tree in the head?"
The "Milkweed" rune was born in a dark and humid environment, which is inherently incompatible with the nature of Lin Hun's "fire". Lin Hun did not forcibly maintain it, and the rune disappeared on its own in a few moments.
It was enough for Lin Hun to have a "fire" in his mind, and he did not intend to brand this rune which was not very powerful in his eyes.
Adeline has regained her composure at this moment. The flames suppressed the influence of Uldren and the runes on her, and by accident, she has restored her former appearance.
Adeline spoke slowly and even though she was lying on the ground in a mess, she still looked like a lady from a wealthy family.
"Thank you very much, sir."
"Thank me? Why? I was just making a simple attempt."
Lin Hun did not change his attitude because of Adeline's thanks.
Adeline was not annoyed:
"Ah, there is finally some peace in my mind."
After the rune was born, Lin Hun could clearly feel the change in Adeline's temperament, so he asked:
"Can you still hear that sound of water in your head? That's what you call revelation."
"I didn't expect that the Lord really cares about me," Adeline said jokingly, and then she responded with a serious attitude, "I can still hear it, but I don't think it's a revelation anymore."
Without waiting for Lin Hun to continue asking, Adeline told him everything:
"Now I can hear the crackle of the fire, the rustle of the trees and the drip of the water."
"This is really all thanks to you, sir," Adeline changed the subject and turned the topic to Lin Hun.
"Indeed," Lin Hun responded calmly, even surprising Adeline who had been smiling throughout her words.
However, Adeline was only stunned for a moment. After the torture of the experiment, her heart was also extremely strong, so she continued to explain:
"If there was only the sound of water, I would probably still be as numb and crazy as before. After so many experiments, only the sound of water has been with me all the time."
As if she remembered the ordeal she had endured as a test subject, Adeline moved her head and looked towards the center of the room. She didn't know that the operating table in the middle had been moved to a corner of the room because of Lin Hun's movement. She just looked according to her past memory, and soon Adeline was relieved:
"But that period of time has finally passed, and then there was the rustling sound of trees growing. Although I don't know what kind of plant will appear in my head, I guess this tree will grow bigger and bigger with the help of the water in my head. Maybe my head will also grow bigger and bigger and suddenly explode one day, hehehe."
When talking about her own mind, Adeline did not shy away from the future, and her main point was to speak freely. However, hearing her laughter, Lin Hun knew that this hidden danger had disappeared for the time being.
Without giving Adeline the chance to keep the secret, Lin Hun explained the effect of the fire he had inflicted on her head:
"So my flame just helps you suppress the expansion of the sound of water that causes the growth of plants, right?"
Adeline nodded. This flame was given to him by Lin Hun. He knew its function and there was nothing to be surprised about.
"Yes, and the flame burning plants have continued to burn, so these three elements have formed a balance in my brain, so my emotions are not as unstable as before."
