Chapter 1302 - 1268: Dongfang Jing Returns?!
"Knock knock knock~"
Suddenly, a hurried knocking startled Zhang Xinying from her sleep.
The instant Zhang Xinying opened her eyes, a flash of cold light passed by.
However, the cold light quickly disappeared, and her eyes returned to normal.
Zhang Xinying casually asked:
"Who is it?"
Yet, in fact, Zhang Xinying knew who was outside the moment she woke up.
The next moment, Yu Na’s voice came from outside the door:
"It’s me, Yu Na."
At this moment, Shangguan Yue, who was sleeping next to Zhang Xinying, sat up sleepily:
"Is it dawn already?"
Zhang Xinying didn’t respond to Shangguan Yue but instead got up to open the door:
"Wait for me."
As the door opened, Yu Na anxiously said from outside:
"Sister Jing is back."
A surprised shout came from Shangguan Yue inside the room:
"Sister Jing is back?!"
Since Dongfang Jing suddenly left last time, there had been no news.
In this group, if Lin Yi was the backbone,
then Dongfang Jing was the sail guiding the ship on the ocean, even in the absence of a backbone.
But after Dongfang Jing disappeared, Lin Yi was frequently absent.
As a result, everyone had been feeling disoriented for a long time.
They could only keep upgrading as Lin Yi requested.
This sudden return of Dongfang Jing was an enormous surprise for Zhang Xinying and the others.
But Zhang Xinying didn’t feel excitement upon hearing the news.
Because upon opening the door, she noticed something off in Yu Na’s expression and said:
"Did something happen to her?"
Indeed, as Zhang Xinying had guessed, Yu Na nodded:
"Yes."
"She’s still in a coma."
"Alright, wait for me."
Zhang Xinying immediately turned back into the room to change out of her pajamas.
Meanwhile, Yu Na stared at Zhang Xinying’s back, with a vague, odd feeling in her mind.
She couldn’t pinpoint where this feeling came from.
It might be related to Yu Na’s in-game profession (Necromancer),
which made her sensitive to souls.
She could clearly sense the strength of one’s soul aura.
Yu Na first discovered this ability when she sensed Lin Yi’s extraordinarily powerful soul force.
Compared to Lin Yi’s soul aura, ordinary people’s souls were insignificant.
Yu Na only realized then.
Their group’s soul auras were many times stronger than ordinary people’s.
But comparatively among themselves, the difference wasn’t large, except for Lin Yi.
However, starting yesterday,
Yu Na sensed Zhang Xinying’s soul aura suddenly increased dozens of times.
If she described Zhang Xinying’s previous soul aura as a soybean, now it’s a large honeydew melon.
Yu Na didn’t understand why this happened.
Nor what caused such a huge change in Zhang Xinying.
Yet, through observation these days, Yu Na didn’t see any obvious change in Zhang Xinying.
Because of this, Yu Na didn’t speak of it.
Originally, Yu Na wanted to inform Lin Yi.
But she hadn’t seen him these days, missing the chance to talk.
While Yu Na was lost in thought at the door, Zhang Xinying’s face appeared before her:
"What are you thinking about?"
Yu Na was startled by the sudden sight of Zhang Xinying.
But she quickly regained herself, hurriedly saying:
"Nothing."
Shangguan Yue inside the room sensed something off:
"Wait for me."
"I’ll be ready in a moment."
Shangguan Yue quickly dressed.
The three of them went to Dongfang Jing’s room in another villa.
Upon arrival, they found Guo Shaojie and others standing in the hallway with worried faces.
Red Eyes Wang Sijie immediately said upon seeing Zhang Xinying:
"The wind lady is here."
Seeing everyone’s state, Zhang Xinying’s heart sank.
Without saying much, Zhang Xinying headed straight for Dongfang Jing’s room.
As she opened the door, Jiang Jiaying and Silent Ouyang Jing were already by Dongfang Jing’s bedside.
Seeing Zhang Xinying arrive, Jiang Jiaying quickly came up, saying:
"Sister Ying, you’re here."
"Yes."
Zhang Xinying quickly stepped to Dongfang Jing’s bedside, looking at Dongfang Jing, who had fallen into a coma, asking:
"What happened?"
Jiang Jiaying repeated the scene of Dongfang Jing’s return.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinying frowned deeply:
"How did this happen?"
Zhan Chen suddenly spoke from the side:
"Little Yu (Silent Ouyang Jing) just examined her."
"Didn’t find any injuries, nor signs of poisoning on Sister Jing."
"Sister Jing seems to have fallen into a coma due to some shock."
"Wind lady, you came after we tried everything to wake her up."
After Zhan Chen spoke, Zhang Xinying seemed to fall into deep thought.
Dongfang Jing was, beside Lin Yi, the most enigmatic existence among them.
Who did this to her?
What happened during her absence?
Right now, the key is how to wake her.
If she wakes, everything will become clearer.
Shangguan Yue said:
"Going to the hospital won’t help in this situation."
Zhang Xinying felt the group’s gaze and realized only Lin Yi could handle such a situation.
But surprisingly, Zhang Xinying walked to the bedside, picked up Dongfang Jing’s hand, appearing to check her pulse?
Everyone was stunned by this scene.
Heaven-Gifted Ouyang Hao whispered to Guo Shaojie:
"When did our wind lady learn this trick?"
Guo Shaojie rolled his eyes, saying:
"How should I know? Ask someone else."
Ouyang Hao shrugged indifferently.
A moment later, Zhang Xinying suddenly released Dongfang Jing’s hand and said:
"You all go out for a moment; I might have a solution."
The group looked at Zhang Xinying in shock.
They originally wanted Zhang Xinying to call Lin Yi to solve this.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xinying was about to handle it herself.
What solution could she have?
In the game, Zhang Xinying was the Battle Zone’s top Divine Shepherd, but this was reality.
Though confused, the group said nothing.
As everyone was leaving, little Wang Zixin suddenly blocked the door innocently, looking up at Zhang Xinying, asking:
"Sister Ying, can I stay with you too?"
