"I see. She came to New Tokyo because it was convenient for treatment."

Zhao Yang suddenly realized.

———It turns out that nothing is accidental.

Come to think of it, Yasha's parents were often not at home.

But he always thought they were just busy with work.

Both of Yasha's parents are doctors, so it is reasonable for them to be busy with work, and Zhao Yang never doubted anything.

But now it seems that they might have gone to the Garden of Time and Space.

However, it is also because they are so busy that Yasha and Neo often come to Zhao Yang's house, and he helps take care of them, which makes their relationship so good.

"My son and the others... well, before we talk about that, let's deal with Neo's matter first."

Albert groped tremblingly for the bedside table next to him.

He opened the second drawer, took out an antique box, and took out a glowing red flower from it.

“This is the last one… Yasha, you… forget it, Zhao Yang, come and help.

Put this flower in Neo's mouth and see if you can attract the spirit back."

The old man handed the flowers to Zhao Yang.

"Ok."

Zhao Yang took it carefully, gently opened Neo's little mouth, and put the delicate flower into her mouth.

Albert looked at Neo solemnly.

Time passed slowly and nothing changed.

The Neo on the ground, whom he called a spirit body, was still unconscious and had no intention of going back.

"Ahem... As expected, ahem, a flower is useless, ahem!"

The old man was emotionally unstable and coughed repeatedly.

"Grandpa, what happened to Neo?"

Yasha's mind was in a mess and she could no longer comprehend what was happening.

"..."

Zhao Yang also frowned.

After taking a few breaths, Grandpa Yasha said angrily:

“It’s all your parents’ fault. I’ve warned them time and again not to underestimate the secret realm and not to mess around!

But they just wouldn't listen, and as a result Neo got involved! Cough cough cough cough!"

226 Relics and Spirit

"Dad, Dad and Mom?"

Yasha had a blank look in her eyes. She didn't have a deep impression of them because they rarely came home.

"Speak slowly."

Zhao Yang gave some advice.

“…It’s useless. I’m too deeply poisoned. Even if I change my body, I’ve already reached my limit.

My time of death has come."

The old man paused for a moment and revealed this fact.

He looked at Zhao Yang and coughed, “Even if you didn’t come today, cough, I would have notified you to come over and entrusted Yasha and Neo to your care.

But now I can only ask you to take care of Yasha, Neo is afraid..."

Yasha was completely confused: "What do you mean?"

Although Zhao Yang had many questions, he still said solemnly: "I will definitely take good care of them, just leave it to me."

Albert coughed twice and nodded: "I believe you can do it."

He paused and said, "Then let me tell you about the past..."

He began to recall.

Albert's son was named Eddie.

He and his wife are both doctors, but they also have great talents as extraordinary people.

They all awakened their healing magic, and practiced it to C-level shortly after graduating from college.

These extraordinary people with healing abilities and special professions are very popular, and official organizations and firms in various countries invite them to join.

Both Eddy and his wife are adventurous and like new things.

When they were young, they joined many expedition teams, and occasionally went with their friend Yulian Xiang to explore the demon world together.

Grandpa Yasha coughed and said:

“When the two of them were exploring the demon world, they encountered many dangers, but no matter how much I persuaded them, they would not stop.

It was only after Asha was finally born that they were able to settle down in New Tokyo for a while.

But the good times didn't last long... An accidental transaction allowed them to obtain a book that had been taken out of a secret place.

They deciphered the contents of the book and learned that near the secret realm where the book was located, there might be another secret realm that contained a lot of knowledge.

They couldn't hold back and decided to take one last risk. I tried to stop them again and again, but they refused to listen and organized a team to set off..."

When the old man said this, he stopped and coughed for a long time.

After he finished coughing, he continued:

“…something went wrong on this expedition.

They first went to the secret place where the book was located to look for clues. It was the remains of an herb garden full of medicinal herbs.

They explored deep into the ruins.

But not long after they started exploring, they discovered that the people around them mysteriously disappeared one after another and they couldn't find them.

In desperation, my unfilial son fled with his wife in a hurry and finally returned to New Tokyo.

They thought it was okay...

But as soon as they returned to New Tokyo, Yasha's mother felt unwell, and after a checkup, they found that she was pregnant before entering the secret realm..."

Zhao Yang said: "That child must be Neo."

Yasha hugged Neo and asked stutteringly: "So, is this the reason why Neo became like this?"

“That’s right. But they didn’t know this at the time. They just thought they had escaped from danger.

After this incident, Eddie and his friends decided not to go out on adventures anymore and to concentrate on working and raising their children in New Tokyo.

In fact, Neo's birth went smoothly... at least until the full moon."

Albert's voice became weaker and weaker:

“One day after Neo’s full moon, we discovered that when she fell asleep, a spirit body like the one now would appear next to her physical body.

After investigating the causes one by one, we set our sights on the remains of their last experiences."

As Grandpa Yasha spoke, he took out an old and torn book from the bedside table. Most of the words on the book were incomplete, and Zhao Yang didn't recognize the only complete words.

“Eddie and his team worked hard to collect information about the ruins, and eventually, we got this fragment.

After reluctantly translating, we learned the truth..."

He said with a bitter expression:

“According to the book, the world to which the ruins belonged left behind some buildings when it was destroyed.

There are two buildings with similar functions, one related to biology and the other related to knowledge.

What Eddie wanted to find was a secret realm related to knowledge, but by accident, he came into contact with secret ruins related to biology.

Although I don’t know why, the ruins related to living things will absorb the living things and preserve them.”

"……save?"

Zhao Yang felt that the focus would be on these two words.

Grandpa Yasha nodded:

"Yes, if what the incomplete version said is true, those missing people were teleported to that ruin and preserved.

That might be a relic that preserves biological samples...

Let’s get back to Neo.

We have a guess.

She must have been targeted by the relics when she was still in her mother's womb.

But she hadn't been born yet, so she was just marked and not immediately teleported to the secret realm."

He continued to cough:

“Eddie and the others left the secret realm and returned to Earth in time, and the separation of the worlds blocked the power of the ruins.

Therefore, Neo was not teleported away immediately after she was born, but her spirit and body were separated. "

Zhao Yang asked suspiciously: "Why do you say it is a spiritual body?"

"This is related to Dr. Hibiki's Project F research."

Grandpa Yasha replied first.

Neither he nor Zhao Yang responded to Yasha's expression of "What is Plan F?"

Albert said, "Ahem, since you know about cloning technology, you should also know that only extraordinary people can withstand the backlash of switching bodies, right?"

“I know, but I don’t know why.”

"The principle is nothing serious. It's just that creating clones requires a lot of magic power. Ordinary people will die from poisoning if they transfer their bodies."

"I see."

Zhao Yang thought to himself, this is a very simple and direct reason.

But he immediately realized something was wrong.

Neo is not a supernatural being. How could an ordinary person like her change her body?

“That’s what’s special about Neo.

In Project F led by Dr. Hibiki, there is a part that studies the human soul, so he understands the soul. He concluded that Neo's condition is not the separation of soul and body, but another phenomenon.

With the help of the equipment in the Space-Time Garden, they were able to study Neo.

Eventually they discovered that her body was dominated by spiritual power, so they called it a spiritual body."

He changed the subject and talked about another matter:

"For ordinary extraordinary people to change their bodies, they need to transfer their memories simultaneously, which is a very complicated process.

But the structure of Neo's spirit body is very peculiar, it contains memories, so it is very easy to transfer the body. The structure of the spirit body protects her soul and consciousness, so that she will not be eroded by magic."

Grandpa Yasha said: "Her existence has played a great role in the reference of Plan F, and has also improved the technology of switching bodies."

227 Three years? That's enough

Albert coughed again.

He took a few breaths and continued:

“After discovering that Neo could easily transfer her body, Eddie came up with a plan and put it into practice.

He cloned a new body in the Space-Time Garden for Neo to use, and then used puppet soldiers to send her original body into the ruins, hoping to escape.

This method was effective. After Neo's body disappeared in the ruins, her spirit never left her body again.

We thought we had successfully resolved the problem, but a few years later, Neo's mental separation phenomenon occurred again.
