A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 193: The Way to Regain Sanity

Through the recording of Pang Fei’s satellite phone, Qiong Jiu determined some circumstances of the Tenth District.

Pang Fei’s life or death is unknown.

Rushing in recklessly would be nothing more than a futile attempt to save people, like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather, risking death one by one.

So she needs to make full preparations this time.

"The Sealing Objects of the Sinking Iron Church, the Reverse Watch should be the most suitable for this operation. However, most people present have already used it, so we won’t consider this Sealing Object for now.

Tang Xiaoyu, does your church have any other Sealing Objects that can be useful in this situation?"

Qiong Jiu looked at her.

The priest shook her head and said helplessly, "Most of the Sealing Objects contained in the church are extremely destructive, and protective Sealing Objects are very rare."

This route was blocked.

Qiong Jiu was just casually asking.

After confirming that the Tenth District had something that disturbed the mind and spirit, she selected those most suitable for the undertaking to investigate outside the Tenth District first.

"My apprentice also meets the requirements, and you don’t lack combat power, so why not take her along?"

At this time, Yang Jinhua pushed Jiang Xi forward.

Qiong Jiu pondered for a moment and nodded.

Since Yang Jinhua spoke like this, he naturally had his reasons and wouldn’t send his apprentice to her death.

...

Soon.

Everyone was geared up and ready.

This time, they learned from their past mistakes and headed to the outskirts of the Tenth District together, avoiding being left alone.

With the experts like Qiong Jiu, the Chief Commander, and Yang Jinhua leading, everyone felt much more assured. Shortly after, several flying cars, loaded with elite forces, began advancing towards the Tenth District.

Armed Department...

Except for the busy staff, it was deserted, with only Tang Xiaoyu stationed in the hall.

Squeak.

Not long after everyone left.

Baiyu, riding his Ghost Fire motorcycle, stopped at the entrance.

Due to his frequent visits, he had become familiar with the gatekeepers of the Armed Department and faced no obstacles in meeting Tang Xiaoyu.

The priest was sitting in the hall, quietly reading a book.

"You’re in such a good mood. At a time like this, you still have the heart to read." Baiyu sat down beside her, his words full of undisguised satire.

Tang Xiaoyu shrugged, "Everything in the Armed Department is running smoothly, and unless something urgent happens, I don’t really need to intervene. What else can I do besides reading?"

Baiyu didn’t waste more words, getting straight to the point, "Where is the person back from the Tenth District? I might have a way to wake him up."

Tang Xiaoyu’s mouth opened slightly, hesitating, "How did you know about this?"

She was puzzled.

How did this guy suddenly rush over to the Armed Department?

According to Lin Shan, this guy had a safe house sufficient for months of survival. Given his cautious nature, he should be hiding in there by now.

"You know Erza, right?"

"Hmm."

"She told me. So, let’s not waste any more time, take me there quickly!"

Baiyu had no patience for chit-chat.

Time was of the essence, and as the unique traveler, he should be saving the city from chaos.

"You’re a step late, that person is in the interrogation room, but Qiong Jiu and the others have already left, heading straight for the Tenth District."

Tang Xiaoyu said helplessly.

Baiyu frowned, pulling a satellite phone from his pocket, "Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll call them back first, and even if we have to handle this, it doesn’t have to be right now."

Tang Xiaoyu was taken aback by this guy.

How did he also have a satellite phone?

This was standard official equipment that even regular government personnel couldn’t get.

Unfortunately.

Though Baiyu had a satellite phone, he still couldn’t reach Qiong Jiu and her group.

The phone showed a busy signal.

"They might be in conversation with Yuwen Ba, the Prefect outside the city, to facilitate the dissemination of information so the rescue teams outside aren’t left in the dark."

Tang Xiaoyu said, "If you really have a way to restore someone’s sanity, hurry to the interrogation room to get useful information from him, and we can immediately drive to catch up with them outside the Tenth District."

Baiyu nodded.

Right now, this was the only option.

...

Interrogation Room.

Looking at the man before him, with bloodshot eyes, a hideous expression, and uncontrollable drool, Baiyu felt the severity of the situation.

This person.

Must have been severely shocked.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have lost control so suddenly and for no apparent reason. After all, he was a school teacher and a Tier Eight Martial Artist.

He should have basic psychological resilience.

"The negative emotions are strong. I’ll try Purification first."

Baiyu didn’t expect to cure him; if he could restore some sanity, even a bit of clarity, it would be a success.

The Scholar Secret Technique was quietly activated.

Tang Xiaoyu, beside him, saw Baiyu snap his fingers, and the man’s struggling movements immediately slowed as he sat restrained in the chair.

It worked.

Tang Xiaoyu’s eyes lit up, observing Baiyu with great interest.

How did he do it?

This guy only had Spirit Techniques to diminish negative emotions, right?

But reducing negative emotions is different from what’s happening now.

Restoring a madman to normal is undoubtedly one of today’s major medical challenges.

"Don’t celebrate too soon; I’ve merely calmed his emotions. This is a form of nonverbal suggestion, you know psychology? This is a method from there."

Baiyu casually made up an excuse.

Tang Xiaoyu remained skeptical.

Seated beside Baiyu, she scrutinized their movements, striving to catch every change.

Another Purification.

The man’s struggles visibly lessened, but there was no sign of regaining clarity; Purification only dispels negative emotions.

That was the only effect.

Now Baiyu could feel most of the negative emotions in his heart had dissipated, yet he still remained confused and deranged.

He shifted from a highly aggressive madman to an oblivious fool.

"What now?"

Tang Xiaoyu blinked her bright eyes, asking curiously.

"Now, we need to ask someone for help: Qian Xue from Linjiang Second Middle School. I don’t know her address now, and communication is useless. I don’t even know if she’s alive.

But to get him to talk, we need to find her. You also saw her last time in the North District."

Baiyu had already thought of a way.

Qian Xue’s ability—Spiritual Modification, resembles Spiritual Control somewhat.

Last time he saw Qian Xue interrogating Rong Jinshan, she used this ability.

"Finding someone now is challenging, but if we first find Lin Shan, we should be able to find where Qian Xue is since they have a good relationship."

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Tang Xiaoyu also became enthusiastic at this point.
