From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Q: If the person who has turned evil is a close friend or relative, would you be able to harden your heart and take action immediately instead of just giving verbal advice?

A: When necessary, one should put aside family ties for the greater good.

Q: In emotional disputes, will people abuse their power and act recklessly?

A: On the bed...

Ai Jun ignored the last question, focusing only on the first two. After thinking for a long time, he concluded that Jiang Liu's answers were too extreme.

But he didn't know how to answer.

after all--

If the answer is not one of the two given by Jiang Liu, it seems like "playing house".

"How could this be child's play? Manali and I are the Black Cat Boy and the Miracle Warrior with super strength, super speed, and super defense!" Ejun cheered himself up, shouting "Transform!" only to notice that the crystal on the ring was gone.

He, Ejun, and Manally were no longer heroes of Paris; without the powers bestowed upon them by the fairies, they were nothing...

Half an hour later, Ai Jun was still tossing and turning in bed, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he got up, pushed open the door, and walked to Jia Bailie's door.

This was the first time he had disturbed his father at night.

"Dad, are you asleep?"

Taking a deep breath and mustering his courage, Ai Jun raised his hand and knocked on the door.

No one answered.

Just when Ejun thought his father was asleep, the locked door suddenly opened.

"The door isn't locked?"

Ai Jun was startled and was about to close the door, but just as he put his hand on the doorknob, he inexplicably pushed the door open and went inside.

The room was simply furnished with a bookshelf, a desk, and a bed, and nothing else.

The bedding on the bed was neatly arranged.

Jabeur is not here!

"Where did Dad go so late?" Ai Jun wondered. He glanced around the room and noticed that one side of the bookshelf seemed to have a 30-degree gap with the wall. Without thinking, he reached out to lift the bookshelf, only to find that it was very light and that there was a hidden compartment behind it.

"This is?"

He moved the bookshelf aside, opened the hidden compartment, and the wall split open to reveal a lift that could only accommodate one person at a time.

"An underground chamber?"

Ejun unconsciously took a step back and slumped onto the bed, recalling the shape of the Black Demon Butterfly—it looked so much like his father, Jabeur.

He knew that Manali had definitely thought that way too, but because Jacob was his father, she had never mentioned it to him.

Although impulsive, Manali is also meticulous despite her rough exterior.

to this end.

Ejun was very grateful.

But now?

There's a lift on the wall behind the bookshelf in his father's room! This proves there's a secret underground room in the house! How could Jabeur's son not know that?

"Calm down, Aijun. Maybe Dad has his own little secrets too? I should respect his privacy..."

Aijun comforted himself in this way, but another thought surfaced in his mind:

Let's go down and take a look.

As for whether he'll happen to run into Jaber and get a lesson...

He was, after all, Jaber's son.

So, Ai Jun made up his mind, stepped into the elevator, and pressed the button.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and Ai Jun immediately saw the black demon butterfly standing in front of a crystal coffin, muttering, "Impossible!"

"Eijun?"

Black Butterfly's ears twitched, and she turned her head, discovering Ejun in his pajamas. Startled, she quickly calmed down, suppressing the conflicted look in her eyes. She dispersed her aura, and the black butterfly suit she wore vanished at that moment, revealing Jia Bailie's identity.

“Since you’ve already discovered it, then I won’t hide it from you anymore, Ejun, I am the Black Demon Butterfly.”

Jacob's tone was calm, but his fists clenched. "I didn't want to involve you in this, but who would have thought you were the Black Cat Boy? Even so, I've never blamed you, nor did I want you to know my identity. I just wanted to take away your and Manali's fairy..."

"Why? Dad! Why did you do that?" Ejun snapped at Jacob for the first time.

"To save your mother."

Upon hearing about his mother, Ai Jun's anger subsided considerably. He looked at the woman in the crystal coffin, his pupils dilating sharply.

That was his mother—

Emily!

He had never seen his mother since he was six years old. Everyone said she had gone to a faraway place. At first, he naively believed this, but as he grew older and became more sensible, he realized that his mother had passed away. But now, his mother's body was in a secret underground room in his house!

"Your mother fell ill and became a vegetable. I placed her in this crystal coffin so that her body could be preserved in its most beautiful state forever..."

Over the years, I have been searching for a way to cure and revive your mother. During my trip to China, I stumbled upon a box belonging to the Cheng family, which awakened five spirits, gave them form, and granted them their power. I learned about the legend of the immortals and decided to obtain their power to revive your mother!

If you obtain all nineteen Pokémon, you will possess godlike abilities!

But I had no idea where the other fourteen elves were... until six months ago, when the Black Cat Boy and the Miracle Warrior appeared, I realized that the remaining fourteen elves were in Paris!

As he spoke, Jaberley approached Ejun, put his arm around his shoulder, and moved closer to the crystal coffin. "For your mother's sake, we must take away all the elves."

"No, wait." Ejun's mind was a bit confused. He rubbed his temples to clear his thoughts—the Black Demon Butterfly was his father, Jabere, and Jabere's purpose in taking the elves was to resurrect his wife, who was Ejun's mother.

so···

Why not just say it directly?

"Dad, if you just tell us about this, Manali will definitely agree to lend you the fairy... lend it to us!" Ejun asked.

"Borrowing without repaying."

"Jia Bailie said calmly."

"what?"

Ejun asked incredulously, "Father, what do you mean?"

"You don't know the true purpose of elves."

Jaber said quietly, "You and Manali are simply having spirits possess you and stimulating the energy within you to form an energy cloak on your body according to your preferences. This will protect your bodies while also granting you superhuman strength, speed, defense, agility, and energy control."

But the actual usage is—”

In an instant, the five elemental spirits appeared as a fox, a turtle, a bee, a butterfly, and a peacock, and then burrowed into Jacob's liver, kidneys, lungs, heart, and spleen, causing Jacob's chest and abdomen to emit a five-colored radiance of green, blue, gold, red, and yellow, but covered with a layer of gray.

As the five elements circulated and the energy surged forth, an extremely violent energy erupted around him, like a ferocious beast from the wilderness, causing Ai Jun to retreat in fear, his whole body trembling.

"Elves need to merge with human organs; once merged, they belong exclusively to the merger, hence the saying 'borrowing without returning'..."

# Chapter 785 Ejun's Choice —

"No...this can't be!"

Aijun fell to the ground, his eyes trembling, staring at the scene in disbelief.

Jia Bailie withdrew his Qi, and the powerful atmosphere that had distorted the air dissipated, as if nothing had happened.

"Son, I don't want to drag you into this. Even knowing your identity as the Black Cat Boy, I only intend to take your Black Cat Spirit as the Black Demon Butterfly..."

But now other people have entered.

A terrifyingly powerful Easterner took your black cat and Manare's spirits... but he has now returned them to Manare.

After the Cardinal was defeated, Jacob used the corrupted butterfly to corrupt a gaunt man who was working late into the night, causing him to run quickly to Notre Dame. Through the shared perspective of the butterfly mask, Jacob saw Manali in her "transformed state" and noticed that she was running towards his manor.

therefore.

Before Ejun arrived in the basement, Jabeur was creating a corrupted butterfly in order to find a physically strong man whose heart was filled with negative emotions.

The strength of the person corrupted by the Black Butterfly is directly proportional to the corrupted person's physical qualities, bodily functions, and negative emotions.

Physical fitness and bodily functions are the basic conditions for strength, while negative emotions are the key to whether one can be completely corrupted by the Blackened Butterfly.

of course.

The mental strength of the person who has been corrupted cannot be stronger than that of Jabeur; otherwise, there is a chance that the corrupted person will forcibly break free from control, and the person may even suffer a mental backlash.

“Eijun, my son.”

“Manali is on her way to our manor now, perhaps to return the black cat to you, or perhaps that Easterner wants to use this opportunity to find me.”

"Anyway, go find Manali and try to borrow all the fairies!"

"This is our only chance to save Emily!"

When Ejun returned to Jaberley's room in the elevator, his eyes were empty.

"Eijun, are you alright?"

Manali pushed open the door, saw Ejun, breathed a sigh of relief, and rushed over to give Ejun a big hug.

The warm hug brought Ai Jun back to his senses, his eyes brightened, and he forced a smile, saying, "Of course it's nothing. But what about you? Why did you come to my house?"

"Let's not talk about this..."

Manali felt a little embarrassed, suspecting that Jiang Liu was joking with her—even a tiger wouldn't eat its cubs! The Black Demon Butterfly would never harm his son!

only--

"Is your father not home tonight?"

"Not here."

Ejun lied, then perked up and said to Manali, "I didn't hear the doorbell. How did you get in? Climb over the wall? You couldn't have jumped in without an elf."

That was me in the past!
