CHAPTER 955: CHAPTER 952: TURTLE BREATH NEEDLE

"Brother, what should we do now?" Zi Yan calmed down and asked.

"It seems the light orb can only absorb vitality near the Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass. As long as you don’t get close to the pot of Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass in the bedroom, you won’t be in danger," Lin Tian advised.

"It’s not up to me whether I get close or not. Even if I’m not in danger now, what if it controls me to run out on the street and strip? I’d rather die than let that happen," Zi Yan said with frustration.

Lin Tian chuckled to himself and said, "No need to go out to the street; it can happen here, hehe."

"Dream on! If you dare to even look, I’ll have Meijia knock you out!" Zi Yan threatened.

"Don’t worry, the light orb just has a little awareness, only the instinct to survive. It can’t understand complex things, let alone do it," Lin Tian stopped teasing her and reassured.

"That’s more like it. By the way, what did you mean by Yin Yang Life Spirit Grass just now?" Zi Yan asked curiously, recalling his previous words.

Lin Tian didn’t hide it and told Zi Yan about someone using witchcraft to cultivate the Yin Yang Life Fruit and explained how Zhao Ya’s vitality was absorbed.

Zi Yan seemed to be in thought and then said, "No wonder I couldn’t figure it out. It’s because there’s a witch behind this. This witch is truly cruel, treating human life as a trifle."

Lin Tian sighed lightly and said, "I once met an Onmyoji from Japan, who was the same kind of person. To such people, the pursuit of power is eternal, and human lives are less than worthless."

"Enough about them. Let me help you figure out how to extract the light orb," Lin Tian ended the topic and started examining Zi Yan’s body for the light orb while Kikuchi Mika watched quietly from the side.

Through his observation, Lin Tian found that the light orb occupied Zi Yan’s head, affecting her brain, making her unable to control her actions.

How could the light orb penetrate solid objects but enter Zi Yan’s head? It was like being parasitized by aliens. Lin Tian’s mind flashed with a question: why did it only go through one of Zi Yan’s facial features, specifically the nostril, like it was parasitizing her?

Where is Zi Yan different from the wall? This would seem like a silly question at first, but Lin Tian asked himself, pondering the fundamental difference: a wall is inanimate, while Zi Yan is a living being.

The light orb must be able to parasitize in a living organism. All seven orifices of the human head are connected to the brain, especially the nose. The light orb must have entered through the nose, parasitizing her brain or temporarily hiding there.

"Hehe, Senior Sister, I’ve got a way to extract the light orb," Lin Tian suddenly said with a smile.

"Really? What’s the method?" Zi Yan asked with delight, for being controlled is unpleasant.

Lin Tian gave a mysterious smile and said, "I can’t tell you the specifics, but you’ll find out soon."

"Then hurry up, I don’t want to be controlled by this damn light orb anymore," Zi Yan said urgently.

The light orb wasn’t controlling Zi Yan for the moment, but she sat rigidly on the sofa, her posture unnatural. While she still could feel things, akin to Lin Tian being controlled by the Demon Blade Muramasa, it was hardly comfortable.

Lin Tian adjusted Zi Yan slightly to make her sit more comfortably, then he untied the golden thread from his wrist.

"Are you going to use the Nine Needle Technique? But can acupuncture affect it?" Zi Yan asked in confusion.

Lin Tian smiled confidently and said, "The Nine Needle Technique isn’t for the light orb; it’s for you."

"For me?" Zi Yan looked even more puzzled.

Lin Tian held the golden thread, his hand moving in front of Zi Yan, creating a blur. Seeing Lin Tian’s starting pose, Zi Yan’s pupils instantly widened.

Then she blurted out, "Turtle Breath Needle, Brother, you actually mastered the Turtle Breath Needle in the Nine Needle Technique!"

"Senior Sister’s eyesight isn’t bad; you can tell I’m using the Turtle Breath Needle," Lin Tian laughed, his hands still moving.

"Why are you using the Turtle Breath Needle?" Zi Yan asked again.

"According to the Nine Needle Technique, the Turtle Breath Needle can put a person into a pseudo-death state, even expert physicians can’t detect it, falsely thinking it’s a dead body. Senior Sister, based on my analysis, not only can they not find a pulse but modern medical instruments might also fail to distinguish between real and pseudo-death," Lin Tian explained.

"You want me to go into a pseudo-death state?" Zi Yan asked in surprise.

Lin Tian nodded and said, "Exactly. The Turtle Breath Needle can put someone into pseudo-death by temporarily suppressing their vitality through stimulating acupoints, only protecting the heart and brain, putting them in a death state, but of course, just pseudo-death."

"Once you enter the pseudo-death state, your vitality will be temporarily suppressed and hidden, even your heartbeat will cease, and the light orb will think you’re dead. It will immediately come out of your brain, and I can capture it then," Lin Tian explained.

"I trust you, Brother, since you can master the advanced Turtle Breath Needle, I have no more questions, but won’t telling this plan make the light orb aware?" Zi Yan agreed but asked with some doubt.

"I told you, it only has a little awareness, completely unable to understand complex things," Lin Tian assured.

Having said that, the starting pose for the Turtle Breath Needle was ready, and Lin Tian expertly inserted the golden thread into several crucial acupoints on Zi Yan’s head, the insertion almost simultaneous, given Lin Tian’s super-fast hand speed, the gap between two needles was less than a millisecond.

The Nine Needle Technique records that because the Turtle Breath Needle requires extremely fast hands, it can’t be completed by one person, needing cooperation of at least two, but Lin Tian managed it alone, relying on his extraordinary hand speed to complete the entire Turtle Breath Needle technique.

The moment the final move was completed, Zi Yan closed her eyes, and her heart stopped beating.

"Meijia, the Turtle Breath Needle can’t last too long, or it will have side effects on Zi Yan and cause harm. When you see the light orb heading towards you, hit it with the sofa pillow, hard, understand?" Lin Tian instructed while closely monitoring Zi Yan’s reaction.

Kikuchi Mika obediently grabbed a pillow but nervously asked, "Brother Lin, what if I can’t hit it and it escapes?"

"Don’t worry, that’s just a precaution; I’m the main line of defense against it," Lin Tian comforted with a smile.

Lin Tian’s reasoning wasn’t unfounded. As a zombie, the light orb wouldn’t like to come near him; it’d definitely fly towards Kikuchi Mika. Lin Tian warned her to stay alert, to avoid solving Zi Yan’s problem only for it to become hers.

Just as they finished speaking, red light began emanating from Zi Yan’s mouth and nose.
