398: Chapter 67 After-effects of Transformation_1 398: Chapter 67 After-effects of Transformation_1 “So, please calm down now and sort through your mories again…
I believe you will surely co up with sothing different,”
At so point, Xiao Xiao produced a pocket watch and held it in his hand, swinging it back and forth in front of Zheng Qing, as if he were a hypnotist, mumbling:
“Deep breath…
Slowly exhale…
Relax…inner piece…”
“Dismiss those morable images.”
“Search carefully in the images where you think the behavior is normal…
Observe your actions as a cat again, but from a human perspective.”
“This is a very important step in re-establishing your identity and adjusting your self-awareness.”
Zheng Qing initially found Xiao Xiao’s antics sowhat comical.
But gradually, his eyelids beca heavy, his breathing began to slow following the Doctor’s guide, and his mind beca more open.
Every action he took when he turned into a cat flickered before his eyes like a carousel.
The first look at the black cat in the mirror, the first ti sliding out of the dormitory along the cliff, the first ti climbing a tall tree to chase a squirrel, the warm bench in the sunlight, and that fragrant soft embrace.
Amid these impressive images were nurous tiny, fragnted mories– all of which were hidden deep in the sea of mories, like phosphorus shrimp on the sea floor, elusive.
But with Zheng Qing’s subconscious capture, the phosphorus shrimp group seed to have encountered a predatory blue whale, scattering in panic.
Those fragnted mories lit up one by one in his mind, like the first flickering lamps in the dark night.
Zheng Qing recalled the mories he had subconsciously ignored, his face contorted as if struggling with constipation.
Fighting with puppies!
Bullying mice!
Licking paws!
Grooming fur!
If the first two things could still be sowhat masked by phrases like ‘kid-like innocence’ or ‘child-like enthusiasm’, the last two matters had already crossed the line for the young wizard.
“Ugh…” he leaped up from his broad recliner, ran out of the room, and dashed into the bathroom, throwing up violently.
This action also seed a bit beyond Doctor Xiao’s expectation.
When the young scholarship student ca out, his face pale and leaning against the wall, Xiao Xiao cautiously inquired, “It looks like you’ve rembered sothing?”
“Ugh…” Zheng Qing turned and ran back into the bathroom again.
…
…
It wasn’t until it was completely dark outside that the young scholarship student finally quieted down a bit.
But he still held a toothbrush in his mouth, his face numb, brushing intermittently, completely ignoring the dried toothpaste foam at the corner of his mouth.
“When you were a cat, you were a cat; now that you’ve changed back, you’re a human!
Don’t confuse the two,” Xiao Xiao, based on the young wizard’s reactions and feline behaviors, figured out what had happened.
He couldn’t help but earnestly advise, “Always look on the bright side…
If even turning into a cat is this unbearable for you, then those predecessor wizards who turned into dung beetles, should they commit suicide!”
Dung beetles, also known as scarab beetles, from the Scarabaeidae family…
The mont this term floated through Zheng Qing’s mind, a burning sensation rose in his throat, and with a retching sound, he dashed into the bathroom again.
“Shut up…
Don’t speak…”
When the young scholarship student once again slamd his hands on the desk, he weakly warned Doctor Xiao, who was not far away, his face pale.
Xiao Xiao shrugged his shoulders, raised his notebook, and read aloud a poem:
“If life deceives you…”
“If life has deceived you, don’t despair, don’t be in a hurry…
Restraint is needed in gloomy days!”
“Trust , happy days will co!”
“I am very calm right now.” The tone of the young scholarship student was faint, but his gaze was like a sharp knife, constantly piercing the doctor’s body, left and right.
Xiao Xiao got a little bit nervous under his stare, finally raising his hand to indicate reconciliation.
“Don’t bla for this.” Doctor Xiao put away his notebook and shrugged, “I just made you recall what happened…
You need to bravely face reality.”
“Humph.” Zheng Qing let out a cold laugh.
“Alright, alright…
I’ll be honest with you, Professor Yi asked to do this.” Xiao Xiao ended up reluctantly betraying his boss, “He called into his office yesterday and assigned this task…
He even rewarded with a credit.”
“Why…” Zheng Qing adjusted his sitting position.
Confusion painted on his face as he asked, “Is it just to annoy for a bit?”
“Annoy you?!” Xiao Xiao widened his eyes, “You’re just a freshman…
Even if you received a level three rlin dal before…
Which professor would go out of his way to annoy you!”
A blush slowly spread across Zheng Qing’s pale cheeks.
Fortunately, the doctor did not continue to mock him, but explained patiently, “Transformation is a very complex magical project, involving a series of high-risk operations.”
“It’s not as simple as drinking a potion before bed, sleeping, and waking up transford…
If it were, this magic would not be included in the list of advanced magics by the Wizard Alliance.”
“It’s only in the first university, with a guardian array, that you can sleep peacefully after drinking the potion.
You don’t need to worry about demon invasions, or evil spirits wreaking havoc.
You also won’t need to worry about soone taking advantage of your transformation to cage and sell you.”
“Of course, even so, you still need to watch out for aftereffects of the transformation.”
Understanding the implication of these words, Zheng Qing couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat.
“Aftereffects?” His voice was a bit dry.
“It’s not a big trouble.” Noticing Zheng Qing’s unease, Xiao Xiao reassured him, “It’s just the influence that the transford creature has on its self-consciousness…
Under ndel’s Law, you won’t lose your self-consciousness, but it will be slightly affected.
Your preferences, lifestyle habits etc, may deviate slightly from before.”
“The mory you just lost is the sa.”
“Obviously, your subconscious doesn’t want to face this…
So you buried these mory fragnts deep in your mory.”
“This is not good, this is bad.”
“According to Professor Yi’s explanation, if you avoid facing yourself for a long ti, those hidden mory fragnts may condense and give birth—under the shadow of your subconscious—to an entirely new soul projection…
When that happens, you will be truly schizophrenic.”
Zheng Qing was dumbfounded.
The toothbrush in his mouth was about to fall into his collar and he didn’t even notice.
“If you think your mouth is already clean, then get dressed quickly.
We need to go to the Club Union to submit relevant work reports.” Xiao Xiao eyed the pale faced scholarship student, and grumbled.
“eting…” Zheng Qing mumbled, and for so reason, he had an image of a large group of cats squatting behind a conference table in his mind.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his throat, he vigorously rubbed his cold face, “As I recall, we were supposed to submit the work report yesterday…why go now?
Did I rember the ti wrong?
Also, why should I go with you?
According to Knight Group’s regulations, all these things are your responsibilities.”
“No, you didn’t rember the ti wrong.
I was dragged to the office by Professor Yi yesterday, so I missed the report submission ti…The office asked to submit it today and stay overnight.” Doctor Xiao lead Zheng Qing out of the dormitory as he unhesitatingly replied, “As for you…
It’s ten o’clock at night now, you haven’t forgotten that you need to patrol, have you?”
“Ah!” Zheng Qing was struck with realization.
The temporary cat life during the day had him reeling with a sense of ti and space confusion, and he almost forgot this important matter.
Just before leaving, he rembered sothing, turned around and rushed back to the dormitory.
“I still have to talk about the tiline with Lin Guo.” Zheng Qing fished out a stack of materials from the drawer of his study table, shaking his head at the curious doctor: “…I consulted several professors on Lin Guo’s tiline issue previously, and the professors said it’s very difficult to completely eradicate such deep-seated lesions, so they asked to chat with Lin Guo and see what he thinks.”
“On a different note, the other two guys in the dormitory are missing again.” Xiao Xiao forcefully closed the dormitory door and complained, “Dylan sneaking around at night is understandable…but where did Barry go?
He hasn’t been seen since morning…”
