Chapter 1521 - Migo

The autumn wind brushed gently,
Golden maple leaves drifted from the branches in the courtyard, lightly dotting the chessboard on the stone table.
An Qingyu held a black piece, frowning as he looked at the intersecting black and white pieces on the board. Beads of sweat slid down his temples, as if he was deep in thought.
Jiang Er floated on the other side of the stone table, looking at An Qingyu's expression, she said with心疼, "Qingyu... why don't you rest for a while?"
"It's fine." An Qingyu shook his head, hesitated with the piece in mid-air for half a minute before slowly placing it somewhere on the board.
Jiang Er sighed, a white piece automatically floating out of the piece container, landing on a spot adjacent to the black piece.
An Qingyu fell into contemplation once more.

Just then, the courtyard door was pushed open, and Lin Qiye and Li Yifei walked in. Upon spotting An Qingyu playing against Jiang Er beneath the tree, they both paused.
Lin Qiye's brow furrowed immediately. He strode forward, "You haven't even rested for a few days... why are you at it again?"
"It's just playing Go. The strain on my brain isn't actually that severe." A faint smile crossed An Qingyu's lips. "Did you know, Qiy e? I've found the pattern..."
"What pattern?"
"It's not that I can't use Forbidden Ruins. Rather, after using them, my brain can't compute the immense load that Forbidden Ruins bring... To completely cure it, I can't think about reaching the goal in one leap. Instead, I need to start training from the fundamental computational logic, bit by bit."
An Qingyu pointed at the board before him. "These past few days I've been doing brain rehabilitation. Go is the best method I could think of—its floor and ceiling are both very high. I can start adapting from the most basic games, and eventually there will be the day when I make a full recovery.
An hour ago, I could barely play twenty-five moves with Jiang Er. Now I can play thirty-eight moves with her... I can feel that the trauma to my soul is gradually adapting to the load of mental computation."

Hearing this, Lin Qiye looked at the board before him in surprise. "Really?"
"It's true." Jiang Er nodded slightly. "Though this process... is very painful."

Lin Qiye had always believed that An Qingyu's aftereffects were irreversible. Neither the Heavenly Lord nor Doctor Li could do anything about it... But why was An Qingyu now saying he could feel the soul trauma gradually repairing itself?
If that were true, then as long as they gave him time, he could recover to his peak and use 【Unique Answer】!
"Regardless, protecting your body is the top priority. If you're tired, rest well." Lin Qiye solemnly reminded him.
"By the way, your medicine for today hasn't been taken yet... I'll go prepare it for you first." Jiang Er seemed to remember something. She hastily floated up from her seat and passed through the wall into the house.

"Qiy e, stay and play a few more rounds with me."
"...Alright."
Reluctantly, Lin Qiye took the seat where Jiang Er had been sitting, held the white pieces, and continued the game with An Qingyu.

One could see that Jiang Er was playing at the most elementary Go level when facing An Qingyu. For Jiang Er, who had connected to the entire human internet, she could upgrade her chess skills to world-class AI level at any moment, but to accommodate An Qingyu's condition, she was now only using the skill level of a primary school student.
Lin Qiye also tried his best to imitate Jiang Er's playing style, placing pieces slowly.

"Qingyu."
"Mm?"
"This time with Jiang Er... it really hasn't been easy." Lin Qiye looked up at him. "Do you have any plans?"
"...Plans?"
"If you two don't get married, it'll be hard to wrap things up."

An Qingyu's hand holding the piece stopped in mid-air. His pale cheeks flushed a faint red. He said helplessly, "Not everyone in this world is like you, Lin Qiye... You and Jialan haven't even officially confirmed your relationship, and you're already talking about marriage... My face isn't that thick.
I haven't completed what I promised her. Right now I'm in this state... the future is uncertain, I have the heart but not the strength. Where's the face to propose to her?"

"Wouldn't being more direct about feelings be better?" Lin Qiye countered. "You, on the other hand, overthink too much. You must think three steps ahead for everything, plan the whole game, allow not a single flaw... That确实厉害 on the battlefield, but in relationships, that's being indecisive!"

An Qingyu was stunned, then smiled. "I never thought I'd be lectured about relationships by you..."
"I'm speaking the truth." Lin Qiye placed a piece, saying seriously, "The feelings Jiang Er has for you—we all see them clearly. Such a good girl is really rare... We're a special squad, not carefree ordinary people. You want to wait until everything is settled before making more plans—when will that day come?
You'll never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first."

An Qingyu stared at the board before him, falling into silence.

"Don't focus all your attention on one thing all the time... Look more at the people around you." Lin Qiye placed a piece, speaking earnestly.

"The medicine is here!"

Wearing a white dress, Jiang Er swiftly floated out from the house. A ceramic bowl floated before her palm, the spoon automatically stirring the medicinal soup inside, offering it to An Qingyu.
An Qingyu took the medicine bowl, took a sip. It wasn't scalding hot as he had imagined, but a comfortable warmth—it must have been left to cool for a while.

"It's not hot, right?" Jiang Er blinked her eyes.

An Qingyu quietly gazed at her. Only after a long while did he smile faintly, "Mm, not hot."

Lin Qiye looked at the two people before him, moved away from his seat on his own initiative, and walked toward the house.

Just then, his phone rang.

"Hello?"

"It's me, Chen Han." On the other end of the phone, Chen Han's voice was somewhat grave. "Qiy e, you'd better come over... Regarding the monster from that day, headquarters' report is out."

Hearing this sentence, Lin Qiye's gaze slightly hardened. "Alright, I'm on my way."

...

Shangjing City, 006 Squad Station.

"Look at this." Chen Han stood behind his office desk, took out a stack of papers from the drawer, and handed them to Lin Qiye.

This was a stack of copies of some ancient scroll, with only some crooked text and some lines and patterns of unclear meaning on them. Lin Qiye flipped through several pages, confusion appearing in his eyes.

"What is this?"

"The original of this rubbing comes from the secret archives of the Oath Society. This is an ancient scroll they found years ago in a Cthulhu ruin. Since headquarters couldn't find any leads on that monster, they sent someone to contact the Oath Society, and this was dug up."

"Oath Society?"

Lin Qiye's mind instantly recalled the fourth floor of the archive collection hall he had visited with Jinian inside 【Utopia】... That place stored items related to the Cthulhu Faction. Without surprise, the original should be among those glass display cases.

When Lin Qiye flipped to the last page, in the center of the rubbing was carved an oddly shaped insect. Upon close inspection, it was six or seven percent similar to the pink fleshy maggot worm they had seen that day.

"According to the deciphering analysis of Oath Society scholars, the monster we encountered that day... is called 'Migo.'"

After endless unconsciousness, Shi Yu abruptly sat up from the bed. He wanted to read the latest chapter content, so please download the star reading app, no ads, free reading of the latest chapter content. The website no longer updates the latest chapter content, already updated the latest chapter content on the star reading app.

He gasped for fresh air, his chest heaving.
Confusion, puzzlement, various emotions rushed to his heart.

Where is this?
Then, Shi Yu unconsciously observed his surroundings, then became even more confused.
A single room dormitory?
Even if he had been successfully rescued, he should be in a hospital ward now.
And his own body... why is there not a single scratch.

With doubts, Shi Yu's gaze quickly swept across the room, finally stopping on a mirror by the bed.
The mirror reflected his current appearance—about seventeen or eighteen years old, handsome features.
But the problem is, this isn't him! Download the star reading app, read the latest chapter content without ads for free

The previous him was a twenty-something man with extraordinary aura and handsome bearing, who had been working for some time.
But now, this face looked like it was only a high school student's age...
This change made Shi Yu freeze for a long time.

Don't tell him the surgery was successful...
The body, the appearance both changed. This wasn't a matter of surgery or not, but rather immortal technique.
He had completely turned into another person!
Could it be... that he transmigrated?

Except for that mirror placed in an obviously unfavorable feng shui position by the bed, Shi Yu also discovered three books beside it.
Shi Yu picked one up, and the title instantly made him silent.

"New Breeder's Essential Beast-Raising Manual"
"Post-Delivery Care of Pet Beasts"
"Guide to Evaluating Different Species Beast Eared Girls"

Shi Yu: ???

The first two book titles were still normal. What was wrong with the last one?
"Cough."

Shi Yu's gaze sternly focused, and he stretched out his hand, but his arm quickly stiffened.

Just as he wanted to flip open the third book to see what this actually was, his brain suddenly stung with pain, and a large amount of memories surged forth like a tide.

Ice Plain City.
