Hu Long's memory is pretty good.

Over the past few days, we have basically figured out the layout of this garden villa area.

He told the servants to go ahead and went straight to the main hall by himself.

As we approached the lobby...

He then heard voices coming from inside.

Besides Hu Zhao, there seemed to be another man's voice.

He paused slightly before stepping inside.

"Xiao Long is here, come and sit down."

Just entered the door.

Hu Zhao then saw Hu Long, got up and walked over, taking Hu Long's hand.

She wore her hair in a ponytail today and had light makeup on, which made her look even more beautiful.

Compared to before, when I first picked him up from the hospital.

That feeling of unfamiliarity has disappeared.

It's like going back to the past, showing another side of her as an older sister.

"Look who this is, do you remember them?"

She gestured to Hu Long.

Follow the other person's gaze.

Hu Long's gaze shifted and landed on the figure on the side of the sofa.

He was a young man in his twenties.

He wore a crisp white shirt, crisp black trousers, and a pair of exquisite gold-rimmed glasses perched on his nose.

A gentle smile played at the corners of his lips, and his whole demeanor exuded a clean and refined air.

However, some of his hair was white, suggesting premature graying.

Hu Long paused almost imperceptibly, then retrieved the man's background from his memory.

Xue Wu.

Hu Zhao's college classmate, and later her business partner.

Now... he seems to have become the eldest sister's proper boyfriend.

In the original owner's fragmented memories, although this person's family background was not good, they had always treated her well, always smiling and never showing any displeasure.

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Long."

Xue Wu stood up with a smile, looking at Hu Long.

A strange light flashed in his eyes.

"I've been out of town negotiating a contract these past few days and couldn't come to see you right away, so please don't be mad at your brother-in-law."

As he spoke, he approached and casually patted Hu Long on the shoulder twice.

He looked him up and down, then laughed and said, "Good lad, you look like you've really pulled through. It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."

---

Hu Longgang was about to speak.

Suddenly, he stopped moving.

A line of text appeared before my eyes.

It is precisely the skill that the other party possesses.

More than the average person.

There are three in total.

The first two are normal: one is basketball skills, and the other is computer programming.

His gaze swept over them.

It landed on the last skill.

【Skill 3: Fragment of the Qingnang Scroll - Soul Guiding Chapter (Beginner)】

Size: 1MB | Status: Downloadable

(Note: This method comes from the secret records of ancient alchemists and is one of the lost fragments of the "Qing Nang Jing".)

Once one has mastered the skill, one can observe facial features and perceive the spirits of the dead. Using one's own yang energy as a guide, one can restrain weak and wandering spirits within a small space.

"This guy..."

Hu Long's mind raced, and he made his choice almost instantly.

"Tai Su, download the incomplete Qing Nang Jing for me."

In an instant, a flood of information appeared in my mind.

It was as if he had already learned it long ago.

However, this sudden information made Hu Long's mind go blank, and he staggered, almost falling over.

This was the first time he had downloaded knowledge-based skills.

It's completely different from downloading talent.

The sudden influx of memories into his mind made him feel dizzy and lightheaded.

"Xiao Long, are you alright?"

Seeing this, Hu Zhao, who was standing to the side, quickly asked with some concern.

"What's wrong? Didn't you get enough rest?"

Xue Wu asked.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy."

Hu Long smiled and waved his hand.

"You guys chat first, I'm going back to my room to rest for a bit."

Then.

Hu Long left with the help of his butler, Wendy.

in situ.

Watching Hu Long's departing figure.

Xue Wu reached out and adjusted his glasses.

A barely perceptible hint of sinister intent flickered in the eyes behind the mirror.

"It's really strange. This person has the face of a dead man, surrounded by yin energy, so why is he fine now? In fact, his condition is getting better and better..."

……

I returned to my room.

The moment the door closed.

Hu Long regained his composure, though his face was deathly pale.

Ignore the soreness and swelling in your head.

He stretched his body.

A faint crackling sound came from inside his body as his muscles and bones began to move.

"Too plain!"

A thought struck me.

Like ripples on water, a silver light screen appeared in front of his retina.

However, the data on the panel has changed considerably compared to before.

[Owner: Hu Long]

[Physical Talent: Highly Efficient Absorption and Metabolism]

[Skill: Fragment of the Qingnang Scroll - Soul Guiding Chapter (Beginner)]

[Unarmed Combat (Master)]

[Network Attack and Defense (Master)]

[Internet speed: 8M/s]

[Data usage: 0MB]

[Source Value: 9.25 strands]

At this moment, the panel now displays not only the fragments of the Qingnang Scroll downloaded from Xue Wu, but also...

And then there's the master skill of unarmed combat that I just downloaded from Wendy.

The former, as described in the explanation, is a method of refining ghosts.

However, it is extremely incomplete.

Staying only at the theoretical level, aside from gaining some knowledge and the method of physiognomy, is of no use to Hu Long.

No wonder it only requires a mere one megabyte of data.

As for the latter, unarmed combat, it includes fighting techniques involving all joints of the body, such as hands, claws, fists, elbows, legs, and knees.

"That weird thing on my body is most likely related to Xue Wu."

Hu Long muttered to himself, his eyes gradually turning cold.

A sense of crisis and unease rose in his heart.

"Whatever the reason, this bastard probably came here to find out about my situation. Now that he sees I'm alright, he'll probably try to find a way to hurt me again."

It's easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. What if he has some way to speed up the damage that thing does to me? Continuing to wait would be too passive. Rather than that, I'd better strike first!

Moreover, who knows, the other party might have a way to resolve my troubles...

The more Hu Long thought about it, the more he felt it should be done this way.

At this moment, he wished he could go out and cripple Xue Wu, then force him to reveal how to resolve his troubles.

However, he still took a few deep breaths, took out a section of ginseng root from his pocket, chewed it a couple of times, and forced himself to calm down.

We must not rush things.

We need to thoroughly investigate the other party's background before devising a foolproof plan.

As for calling the police or telling your parents, that's an option.

Hu Long had never even considered it.

Because if you do that, you might end up being sent to a mental hospital again.

After all, the original owner's experience served as a cautionary tale.

No one would believe it if I told them.

It seems that even if extraordinary powers exist in this world, it is not necessarily true.

It's not something that ordinary people can access, or even understand.

"However, we can't rush this matter. It's best to find out if Xue Wu has any powerful backers or relatives and friends. It would be best to find them and eliminate them as well. These are all potential threats. If we're going to do something, we should do it thoroughly..."

"Also, it seems that these unarmed combat skills cannot be fully mastered immediately after downloading them. Due to physical limitations, it will take some time to adapt..."

Feeling the changes in my body.

His eyes flickered, and he turned to his desk, turning on his computer.

Fingers flew across the keyboard.

A series of lines of code flashed across the screen.

The dim light from the computer screen cast an inscrutable shadow on Hu Long's face.
