Before Xia Hua finished asking, Zhou Ye's answer came out impatiently.
"Sister Xia Hua, I've thought about it," Zhou Ye forced out a smile and said lightly, as if he was afraid that Xia Hua would regret it, "I'll help you wake up your life bug."
Zhou Ye's expression didn't look like he was ready to wake up at all, but instead looked like a child looking forward to a spring outing.
Even Xia Hua is a little confused. Does Zhou Ye really understand what it means to wake up the life bug?
"Normally, my life bug is in my body. As long as I need it, it can appear at any time."
At the beginning, he seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep."
Zhou Ye nodded patiently, like a well-behaved little baby.
Xia Hua looked at Zhou Ye's appearance, swallowed, and continued, "In the past... this kind of thing has happened before, and last time, a friend presented me with a container and awakened the life bug...
"
After they finished speaking, there was a long silence between the two.
Xia Hua looked at Zhou Ye seriously, and Zhou Ye looked at Xia Hua calmly.
"Presenting the container..." After a while, Zhou Ye repeated, "That container refers to..."
The shadows in Xia Hua's eyes flickered.
A simple and direct sentence.
"The container is your body."

"Since this hospital is related to the Nine Sects..." Luo Jiutian said thoughtfully, "If we keep searching, we might be able to find many clues here."
With that said, Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan started rummaging through the filing cabinets.
The Taoist priest did not participate.
Luo Jiutian was flipping through the pages, and out of the corner of his eye he noticed that the Taoist priest was squatting beside the desk, observing the ground.
"Taoist Priest," Luo Jiutian held the document in his hand and turned his head curiously and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Here, there is a footprint." The Taoist priest raised his head and pointed at the ground.
"Whose footprints are these?" Luo Jiutian said and walked over, "There... there are so many footprints on the ground, which one are you referring to?"
"Here," the Taoist priest drew a closed shape among the complicated footprints, "look."
Li Muyuan also came over, and the two of them stuck their heads out from two directions and looked together.
"Oh, oh, I can see it," Li Muyuan nodded, "It's a complete footprint... But what's wrong with this footprint?"
"Don't you think this footprint is a bit small?" the Taoist priest frowned, "especially when compared with the footprints next to it, including the three of us, the size of this footprint is obviously smaller than the three of us."
"It doesn't look like the footprints of an adult man," Luo Jiutian understood what the Taoist priest meant, "either a woman or a child."
"And this footprint seems to be clearer than the other footprints," Li Muyuan also said, "The process of leaving the footprints should be very vigorous."
"Leave a footprint with force?..." Luo Jiutian began to imagine with difficulty, "How to do this..."
"Actually..." The Taoist priest hesitated for a long time and finally said, "I think these footprints are somewhat familiar."
They both looked at him.
"familiar?"
"Maybe I'm overthinking it..." The Taoist priest tilted his head and said hesitantly, "I have an inexplicable feeling that these footprints might have been left by Xiaolan."
"Xiaolan?" Luo Jiutian's eyes widened, "How could Xiaolan...you mean Xiaolan has been here too?"
The Taoist priest raised his chin with his hand and pondered, "Do you think this is possible?"
"Then Xiaolan left this footprint with all her strength just to let us recognize her?" Luo Jiutian scratched his head and asked, "Why didn't she leave some clearer clues?"
"These footprints are not necessarily left for us," Li Muyuan said. "Even if Miss Xiaolan had really been here, she probably wouldn't have imagined that we would come here."
"If this were not the case, how could Xiaolan leave such heavy footprints if she weighed so little?" Luo Jiutian said, "Unless she jumped hard on the spot a few times."
"jump……"
The Taoist priest muttered this word silently, blinked his eyes, and then slowly raised his head.
On the ceiling directly above him, there was a square vent as big as a palm.
Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan also raised their heads, and the three of them stared at the vent for a long time.
"No, Taoist Priest, you don't think Xiaolan jumped in here, do you?" Luo Jiutian shaped the shape of the vent with his hands, "I know Xiaolan is very petite, but she is a human being after all.
If it’s not a mouse, how could it jump in from here?”
"Of course it doesn't work here," the Taoist priest lowered his head, looking at the two of them with eyes full of energy, "But have you forgotten? Xiaolan, like Xiaoyin, can tear apart space."
The two of them stood there for a while and reacted with their mouths.
"If it were Xiaolan, she could have landed here from mid-air," the Taoist priest pointed to the footprints on the ground, "She traveled through space and came here from somewhere else."
"What is she doing here?" Li Muyuan asked.
"Come to us?" After Luo Jiutian said this, even he didn't believe it himself, "Hey...it shouldn't be possible. She doesn't know we are here..."
"Maybe Xiaolan, like us, entered this world by mistake," the Taoist priest said. "In this case, what she wants to go to is the dean's office in reality."
"Xiaolan didn't come back to the bridge!" Luo Jiutian's focus went astray, "Then are the others coming too? We are saved!"
"When they come back and fail to find us, they will definitely launch an investigation," Li Muyuan said. "It seems that this dean's office is the result of their investigation."
When he thought about the arrival of reinforcements, Luo Jiutian's fighting spirit changed completely. He straightened his back, as if Xiaolan was already carrying the gun and standing behind him to protect him.
"Then we have to work hard," Luo Jiutian happily ran back to the filing cabinet, "continue to look for clues, we can't let them down."
"There is another question," the Taoist priest said. "If they really come, then...where have they gone now?"
Luo Jiutian's movements stopped.
"They... left this room?" Li Muyuan said.
"Oh, have they already found clues?" Luo Jiutian's fighting spirit appeared and disappeared quickly. "Forget it, let's stop looking for clues and go directly to them."
"I don't think so." The Taoist priest held the desk with one hand and tapped the tabletop with his fingertips, making a regular noise. "Although this place is messy, there are not many traces of rummaging."
Luo Jiutian and Li Muyuan looked at him with confusion on their faces.
"Then they are..."
"I'm a little worried that they escaped from here because they were in danger..."
