God's Descent in the Magical City

Chapter 17: Exploring the Mysteries, Facing Perils

At Renxin Hospital.

Over the past few days, Fangfang has been balancing work and visiting Alai whenever she has free time. She constantly reminisces about the jokes they shared as children playing house, hoping to make him smile. Alai responds with a polite smile, no longer the flirtatious, teasing person he once was.

Fangfang has tried everything to cheer him up, but he remains distant, seemingly preoccupied. She finds it strange how he suddenly seems so detached and indifferent. Could he have been kicked in the head by a donkey? Has he been through some kind of trauma? It's baffling.

One day.

Fangfang brought a bowl of pork rib soup, smiling as she watched Alai eat it with gusto. Seeing that her grandfather had left and no one else was around, she put on a stern face and said, "Alai, why are you acting so cold towards me, as if nothing ever started between us? Did I say something wrong? Did my mother say something to you that hurt your pride?"

Alai responded nonchalantly, "No, nothing at all. I'm just homesick and want to leave the hospital."

Fangfang, sensing he was lying, blushed and pressed herself against Alai's chest, saying, "Monk, do you think I'm being too forward?"

Alai immediately backed away.

Fangfang continued, "Come closer, I just want to say one thing. If you don't want me, I'll leave. But if you truly like me, for Grandpa Lei's sake, we should work together."

Alai took a deep breath, nodded, and started contemplating his plans.

One afternoon.

Feeling uneasy, Alai remembered the author of the article—Dr. Wang Zhi—and quietly sought out his office, gently knocking on the door.

When Dr. Wang saw it was Alai, he quickly put down his materials and asked what was wrong.

Alai waved a medical journal in front of Dr. Wang, magically pulling a fresh flower from the pages and presenting it with a smile. He then asked Dr. Wang about some unclear points in the article.

Dr. Wang, pleased with his academic authority, answered all of Alai's questions and then curiously asked about Alai's so-called "Mind Palm."

Alai, embarrassed, avoided revealing the truth about his background, simply stating that he enjoyed exercising.

Dr. Wang smiled slightly and said, "Amateurs look at the spectacle; professionals look at the technique. I analyzed your entire fight. Of course, some aspects are hard to explain, balancing between science and superstition, so I titled the article 'Extraordinary Phenomena' to encourage more research in this area."

"Dr. Wang, how can I retain such extraordinary abilities permanently?"

"External forces often have unpredictable outcomes. You were lucky this time, perhaps aided by fortune. In theory, martial arts practice can eventually lead to the release of strong bioelectric energy if one's skills reach their peak."

Dr. Wang, wanting some fresh air, walked out of the office with Alai, discussing as they went.

According to the "Principle of Bioelectric Medicine," the energy converted by the "Human Bioelectric Energy Converter" does exist.

Dr. Wang analyzed: first, the "circuit" needs to be clear, and second, the "electrical energy" must be sufficient. If the energy is insufficient, the current is weak, and the voltage is low. Everyone carries bioelectricity, but in most people, it's very faint.
