Chapter 376 -298: True・Five Stars (Asking for subscriptions, monthly passes, recommendations)
Xiang Er was remarkably efficient, breaking the windbreaker-clad man’s limbs before finding some nylon rope in the house and tying him up tightly.
She also tied up his unconscious henchman.
However, this henchman seemed to be seriously injured, barely even breathing.
Yan Junze speculated that Xiang Er’s kick must have been much harder than the one delivered to the man in the windbreaker; it might have damaged the guy’s internal organs.
“Are you alright?” Yan Junze asked Zhang Xiaomo.
Zhang Xiaomo pulled down her shoulder clothing a bit to reveal skin that had turned bruise-black, painful to the touch.
...
She shook her head, “My bones are intact, I should be fine after some rest.”
Yan Junze said, “The support you requested should arrive soon. Xiang Er can’t make contact with them for now, so she and I will leave first. You rest on the couch for a bit.”
He paused, his gaze moving away from the black metal ball, and said, “Everything here, including that metal ball and the helmet, is a considerable fortune for the current Great Capital’s Exorcist organization. It will allow the organization’s research institutions to make good use of it.”
After speaking, he glanced at Zhang Di, who was still unconscious.
And Zhao Qi, with the helmet on, sat on the ground like a complete fool, unmoving and oblivious to what was going on around him.
“Remember to go to the hospital for a check-up after you leave, especially the injured parts of your body, don’t be careless,” Zhang Xiaomo said softly.
Yan Junze nodded and left first, assisted by Xiang Er.

After descending the stairs, his legs suddenly began to numb, prompting him to look down. There was no sign of his feet turning ethereal, but the numbness felt exactly like that in his hands.
“Can’t walk anymore,” Yan Junze shook his head, offering no explanation.
Xiang Er thought he had injured his foot and promptly carried him on her back, moving briskly.
Resting on Xiang Er’s back, Yan Junze felt an icy chill against his chest as if he was holding a block of ice.
He could also smell a faint scent of medicine, but after advice from Zhang Xiaomo and Huahua, Xiang Er had learned how to use perfume. The fresh fragrance emanating from her was light, distinct and did not mix with the medicinal scent to create an unpleasant odor.
After walking for a while, the ride Yan Junze had ordered arrived, and the two got into the vehicle. At that moment, several vans zoomed past, heading towards the old building.
Yan Junze was familiar with these vans; they were the specialized vehicles of Tianmeng’s Exorcist squads and must be the support that had arrived.
But if Xiang Er hadn’t arrived in time to rescue them, those vans would now only be collecting their corpses.
Yan Junze and Xiang Er did not go straight home. After Zhang Xiaomo’s reminder, Xiang Er insisted that Yan Junze get a medical examination first.
The two went to the nearest hospital, where an examination revealed that aside from some bruises, his internal organs were unharmed.
Following the doctor’s advice, Yan Junze stayed in the hospital overnight for observation and left the next day at noon, once certain everything was fine.
Xiang Er stayed by his side the whole time, and during this period, Yan Junze occasionally checked on the recovery of his Different Dimension Energy.
After the ordeal with the spirit event, the Spacetime Atlas’s energy continued to diminish, yet the recovery rate remained unchanged. For Yan Junze, he needed a lot of energy to search for Space-Time Rifts.
But the current rate of recovery was clearly insufficient.
Now, not only were his hands numbing, but his legs had started as well. He did not know how long it would be before the main trunk of his body would also succumb to numbness or even disappear entirely.
All of this constantly reminded him that he must expedite using the Great Rewind, to return to the previous “Tricky Silk” mission and face that Boss who could control humans with Tricky Silk.
After returning to school, Yan Junze focused on attending classes on time and recuperating.
To accelerate the recovery of energy in the Spacetime Atlas, he even extracted the Different Dimension Energy absorbed by the Black Spirit Mallet into the Atlas, and he didn’t spare the energy stored inside the badges given by the Exorcist squads.
But for him now, the rate of energy recovery was still slow.
With less than a month left in the semester, Yan Junze was anxious, but one cannot rush to eat hot tofu; with insufficient energy and no leads on the Space-Time Rift, haste was of no use.
In the following days, he did not use Different Dimension Energy even once, instead quietly resting in his dormitory for a few days and returning to normal routine, shuttling back and forth between the school and Xiang Er’s rental place daily.
The weather turned much cooler, and to avoid raising suspicion, Yan Junze asked Huahua to buy some thick clothes for Xiang Er online.
It must be said that Huahua had good taste. Plus, with Xiang Er’s shapely figure, she could pull off any style, making anything she wore look good.
Money was not an issue for Yan Junze at the moment. He planned to personally hand the substantial reward he had received after completing the task at Wang Family Bay to his parents on his next vacation.
During the time he was resting, Zhang Xiaomo was also busy. Due to work requirements, she took off only a week and was then summoned back by the squad leader, Huo Zhisen.
Yan Junze and she had a few phone calls where she mentioned that the black metal ball and helmet had been sent to the headquarters of the Exorcist squad for research and analysis. It seems that theirs was not the only black metal ball the headquarters had obtained.
However, it required cross-referencing data from multiple metal balls, so this acquisition was still a significant one.
