Chapter 139 - Golden Bead
An inconspicuous golden bead fell from the tooth, which had just been crushed by Xia Fei, bouncing a few times before rolling toward a corner.
Xia Fei grabbed the golden bead to inspect it.
This bead was similar in size to a ball bearing on a bicycle. It was shiny and golden, though it was incredibly light, not feeling dense and heavy like metal should, almost suggesting that it was anything but metal.
“That’s weird; there’s a tiny bead inside the tooth.” Phantom scratched his head, obviously confused.
Xia Fei also found it weird. Normally, false teeth were made using whole pieces of ceramic. Hiding a bead inside the tooth was indeed a good way to conceal it.
Xia Fei sighed as he looked around. He had no idea why the confinement system had triggered itself, and now, he was trapped inside a cell surrounded by blue laser walls.
Xia Fei put away the golden bead in his spatial ring. This was not the time to investigate what it was, the most important thing was to figure out how to escape this prison.
Phantom could finally not take it any longer when Xia Fei poured a carton of milk on it; with a sigh, he returned to his den and let Xia Fei do whatever he wanted.
Xia Fei did not seem to care at all. It was his top priority to find out the bead’s secret. Who knew how it was activated? He was not going to give up a single opportunity no matter how small it seemed.
The cell was slowly littered with cigarette butts. Xia Fei now had bloodshot eyes as he entered the fourth day of his time on this planet. Having not rested even for a single moment, he was now feeling fatigued.
He lay down on the cold flatbed, slowly closing his eyes for a respite. A warrior’s mental toughness greatly surpassed those of ordinary people, and Xia Fei would be full of energy after a short sleep.
Xia Fei always had good quality sleep and would enter deep slumber as soon as he closed his eyes.
Sleeping was also a skill. Any outstanding warriors not only needed to learn how to fight and hang on but also needed to master how to rest. True warriors could immediately fall asleep even under their enemies’ intensive fire without being affected by their surroundings.
Just as Xia Fei entered deep sleep, something weird happened.
An undetectable spiritual consciousness slowly exuded from the golden bead in his hand. It followed up Xia Fei’s arm straight into his mind.
Although Xia Fei was asleep, this did not mean that he had lost the ability to defend himself. His brain was asleep, but his consciousness still permeated all over him, carefully guarding him, detecting any tiny change that might be happening around him. If anything happened, his consciousness would quickly send a command to Xia Fei’s brain, waking him up.
The spiritual consciousness from the golden bead was just like a thief trying to break into somebody’s house, being all sneaky to avoid Xia Fei’s layers of defense and reach its goal.
It should be said that the tiny consciousness was incredibly skilled. It cleverly avoided the layers of defense Xia Fei had laid down. Although it was not quick, it was incredibly effective, going fore and aft inching ever closer to his brain.
Finally, the tiny consciousness reached his mind, and Xia Fei still did not realize that this oddity had successfully infiltrated his brain as he slept soundly.
The consciousness from the golden bead was cleverly moving, more cautious than it was before. What was even more surprising was that the consciousness was heading toward Xia Fei’s seventh brain region.
The second brain region existed on the left half of the human brain, as large as the tip of a needle. It was such a small part of the brain but provided humans with the most complicated and inexplicable abilities.
The consciousness from the bead quietly hid, peeping at Xia Fei’s seventh brain region.
After a few minutes, the consciousness bared its fangs as it charged toward Xia Fei’s seventh brain region.
There was no room for Xia Fei to react when it was this close.
*Splash!*
Like throwing a stone into the ocean, the weird spiritual energy rushed and disappeared into Xia Fei’s seventh brain region, the golden bead establishing a connection to that part of his mind.
Xia Fei’s eyes, now brimming with energy, suddenly flew open, and at the same time, a sense of anxiety gripped him.
