PART 2

Finding this photo was only possible due to his memory of the man’s appearance. This photo had only just been hung up.

Finding clues was very difficult.

Seeing this, Lou Ting suppressed several questions. If Ji Xing knew anything, he wouldn’t have deliberately concealed it. But now, having only seen the photo and said nothing, it meant Ji Xing didn’t know anything either.

Although Lou Ting felt a little regret and an urgent desire to know who this person was, he didn’t want to make things difficult for Ji Xing, so he said, “If only I could recover my memories.”

Even the original owner’s lost memories, just a little, a general range, would help him guess what happened.

Instead of being completely clueless and relying solely on Ji Xing’s help.

Ji Xing was very observant and understood Lou Ting’s thoughts. He patted him on the shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t worry. The longer you’re with He Yunzhou, the more stable your spiritual energy will become. If it returns to normal levels, even if it isn’t completely healed, you’ll be able to remember things from before.”

Ji Xing’s guess wasn’t entirely unfounded.

“Okay.” Lou Ting touched his phone through his pocket, not hurrying to check it.

Just as they were speaking, He Yunzhou’s doctor came over. “Your Highness, there’s a problem with the examination, and I would like this gentleman to cooperate with further testing.”

“What problem?” Ji Xing said, “I’ve asked Doctor Tian to come over soon.”

“This is the situation. During the examination just now, the Duke’s spiritual energy was normal, but as the examination progressed, his spiritual energy began to decline little by little. It’s like it was a complete circle at the beginning, and as time passed, the edges of the circle began to show dents and deterioration, gradually becoming riddled with holes.”

The doctor said, “I understand that the Duke had a temporary mark with Mr. Lou, so I suspect…”

Lou Ting raised his eyebrows. “Spiritual energy complementarity?”

He touched the bite mark on his neck. The mark was still there, but it didn’t hurt anymore.

Ji Xing said, “Wait for Doctor Tian…”

“I’ll go in and take a look.” Lou Ting said, “If He Yunzhou and I both have this kind of spiritual energy, and the temporary mark is still there, my spiritual energy shouldn’t have decreased.”

Lou Ting felt more energetic after the temporary mark.

“He Yunzhou has a problem with his spiritual energy; he doesn’t have pheromones. Your temporary mark was just…” a bite, it doesn’t count as a mark.

Before Ji Xing could finish, he smelled a faint floral scent mixed with alcohol.

“…You?”

Lou Ting nodded.

Though it was unbelievable.

The temporary marking was indeed completed.

Ji Xing raised his eyebrows, seemingly surprised by this turn of events.

However, since this was the case, Ji Xing didn’t stop him anymore, saying, “Go in and take a look.”

When Lou Ting entered, He Yunzhou was lying flat on the examination table, with several different colored wires attached to his head.

It looked rather strange.

Lou Ting found it odd. He asked, “Is this a new medical method?”

Ji Xing shook his head. “Do you remember the clothes he was wearing in the photo you just saw?”

Lou Ting guessed, “White…?”

A robe-like garment?

Lou Ting couldn’t remember the details.

Besides, he was mainly looking at the face; he hadn’t paid attention to the clothes.

Ji Xing said, “There was a three-centimeter tag hanging in front of him. The words were blurry because of the resolution, but it was barely legible: ‘Research Institute.’”

“He’s a staff member here?”

“This place didn’t originally have a research institute; it was built later. I suspect that the research institute where he worked was the predecessor of the current institute.” Ji Xing said no more.

Lou Ting narrowed his eyes. What…did that mean?

Before Lou Ting could figure it out, the doctor prepared the testing equipment and said, “Come over here.”

Lou Ting nodded. As he walked over, he kept thinking about what that research institute was.

Many things here didn’t seem to have much to do with medicine; they looked more like experimental equipment.

He Yunzhou lay quietly, as if he were used to the existence of this equipment.

Lou Ting walked over and lay down on the bed beside him.

He Yunzhou reached out to support him, saying, “Tell me if you feel uncomfortable. The examination can be stopped at any time.”

Lou Ting nodded, “Okay.”

Although He Yunzhou didn’t say it explicitly, judging from Ji Xing’s several attempts to stop the examination and his insistence on having Doctor Tian come and treat him, this examination wasn’t going to be easy.

Ji Xing stood by, watching Lou Ting’s condition.

If He Yunzhou didn’t have things attached to his head, he would probably be standing next to him like Ji Xing.

Lou Ting didn’t know what this project was. He was initially a little afraid of the unknown, but seeing the worried expressions of these two, he wasn’t scared at all; instead, he found it a little funny.

The doctor said, “Okay, the results are being calculated, and the equipment can be removed.”

It had only been less than five minutes.

Ji Xing immediately removed the equipment.

It hadn’t even started, and it was already over?

Lou Ting blinked. That’s it?

This was worth all that anxiety?

Seeing that he hadn’t gotten down, Ji Xing said, “Come down and wait for the data analysis.”

After Lou Ting came down, he saw He Yunzhou lie back down and asked, “Why is he so slow?”

According to the time, He Yunzhou should have come down even earlier than him.

But he had already come down, and He Yunzhou was still up there.

“The gentleman’s spiritual energy is unstable; it’s different at every moment. Staying up there is to capture the changes at every moment and completely record the entire process, so that the data can be calculated later.”

The range of calculations is too broad to explain in detail.

Lou Ting nodded.

The doctor said, “Mr. Lou’s spiritual energy is also normal now, but it’s only normal on the outside. If we still use the circle as an analogy, the outer circle is smooth, but the inside is full of holes.”

“It’s the exact opposite of the gentleman’s condition.” The doctor showed He Yunzhou’s previous spiritual energy image. “Look, the gentleman’s spiritual energy used to be uneven on the outside and smooth on the inside. But just now, it has become the same as Mr. Lou’s. According to the changes over time, the gentleman’s spiritual energy is gradually returning to its previous state.”

“Based on the current situation, I can preliminarily conclude that the spiritual energies of the two gentlemen are compatible.”

“Compatible?” Ji Xing frowned. He could understand the two words, but when combined with spiritual energy, it became difficult to understand. Spiritual energy colliding can only result in two completely unrelated parallel lines; how can they be compatible?

Even fully bonded AOs can’t achieve spiritual energy fusion.

This is simply…

“Complementary fusion?” Lou Ting thought, learning a new term today.

Lou Ting wasn’t very interested in this and asked, “So what’s the deal with He Yunzhou’s pheromones?”

The doctor didn’t quite understand this either. He flipped through his files and said, “The records show that the gentleman does not have pheromones.”

But without pheromones, it’s impossible to have any kind of marking, under any circumstances.

Neither temporary nor permanent marking is possible.

Just as the doctor initially thought, their so-called marking was just a bite.

But…

It wasn’t just a bite!

It really was a mark.

The doctor was tearing his hair out.

What’s going on here?

When did this medical miracle happen?

Why wasn’t anyone informed?!

“For now, I can’t give any definitive answers.” The doctor felt his job might be at risk.

The few people looked at each other, their eyes finally falling on the doctor.

The doctor: …

Though expressionless, he was panicking inside.

I really don’t know ah ah ah!

After so many years, there’s been no progress in the treatment, and He Yunzhou wasn’t in a hurry, but he was anxious about something else. “Can I achieve a complete marking?”

The doctor scratched his head. Although the current data showed that it’s impossible, a temporary marking was possible. What’s the difference between a temporary and complete marking?

The doctor gritted his teeth and said, “Yes!”

He Yunzhou looked at Lou Ting and said solemnly, “Okay.”
