"......"
Ah Qing, wearing a hospital gown, looked at Ansheng with a vacant and bewildered expression, but made no additional movements, just glanced at the threshold.
While remaining cautious of Master Fortune Fox, Ah Qing raised her hand to open the microwave, took out a freshly heated boxed meal, and began eating with a spoon.
"What happened here?" Ansheng took off the hat from his head, looked at Jin Wanlin hidden behind the nurse's station with a strange expression, and asked, "It's been over an hour since Ah Qing got pricked by the Spirit Particle Potion. What's her situation now...."
From Ah Qing's expression and behavior, Ansheng could already determine that Ah Qing seemed to be sleepwalking?
"Fort... Master Fortune Fox?"
Seeing the unfamiliar child at the door speak, Jin Wanlin suddenly stood up from behind the nurse's station, but her movement caught Ah Qing's attention. Jin Wanlin's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately shrank her head back.
"Don't pay too much attention to my changes. Today, the Mid-Autumn Festival moon is especially round, even Fortune Foxes need to worship the moon, so my changes are quite normal...."
Ansheng had no intention of explaining his own changes; instead, he was more concerned about what was going on with Ah Qing.
"At the moment, we don't know what happened." Jin Wanlin glanced at Ah Qing and explained to Master Fortune Fox:
"Sending her to the hospital was just a perfunctory measure. After checking the blood routine, the doctor followed the procedure and admitted Ah Qing for overnight monitoring of her heart rate, suggesting she could be discharged tomorrow."
"But...."
"After Ah Qing's family and parents left, she said she felt a bit tired and wanted to sleep. Half an hour after falling asleep, she woke up, flew out of the ward, kicked the wall, crossed a hundred-meter corridor, and arrived at the hall, then grabbed Uncle Jinlong and started hitting him."
In Jin Wanlin's eyes, Ah Qing was extremely peculiar and abnormal after waking up.
It wasn't the level of strength that was bizarre, but the dissonance in Ah Qing's behavior and actions.
Other than attending a martial arts cram course briefly before the college entrance exam, Ah Qing had no exposure to combat knowledge.
However, when she grabbed Uncle Jinlong and slammed him into the wall, Jin Wanlin clearly noticed that Ah Qing wasn't using Fortune Fox's brute strength but was applying techniques combined with Fortune Fox's brute force to crash into Uncle Jinlong, making his eyes pop.
Doctors and nurses hanging on the sign weren't there voluntarily, but were thrown up by Ah Qing.
With a light swing of Ah Qing's arm, the doctors and nurses inside the department were tossed by her one by one, dexterously and lightly hanging on the signs in the hall.
After being hit twice with a stick, Jin Wanlin dared not go out.
Anything in Ah Qing's hand turns into a highly aggressive weapon in an instant.
A common broomstick would only break when hitting Jin Wanlin, not harming her in the slightest.
However, when the broomstick was in Ah Qing's hand, as it swung and didn't hit Jin Wanlin, it bounced back and hit Jin Wanlin's neck using the long stick's elasticity.
Just one hit, and Jin Wanlin passed out for a while.
She had some basic combat training, especially on neck areas, with systematic special training to strengthen the resistance of the muscle groups to prevent her neck from being twisted.
"Ah Qing's current condition... is impossible to determine. We have never encountered anything like this. It might be that the Spirit Particle Potion catalyzed, affecting Ah Qing, turning some latent genes in her body into dominant ones."
Jin Wanlin, as if writing a report, detailed and completely recounted what happened in the hospital, and at the end expressed her basic speculation about the matter.
The Spirit Particle Potion is an extract and before it was put into use within the Security Bureau, it underwent more than thirty thousand rounds of various tests and inspections, and even had a spoonful of dung water poured on it, then decayed and poured onto plants.
Afterward, the plants grew very lush.
The plant used its roots to roll the dung spoon and put it on the researcher's head.
The strange talks caused by the Spirit Particle Potion could be discussed for three days and nights without repetition.
But among all the possibilities, there was no instance like Ah Qing, who, after being injected with the potion, directly transformed from an ordinary girl into a top comprehensive fighting master.
"So...."
Ansheng paused for a moment after hearing this, and said, "You mean to wait for the effectiveness of the Spirit Particle Potion to wear off?"
"Yes, her situation is unique, and we advise against further stimulation," Jin Wanlin suggested to Master Fortune Fox.
Spirit Beasts and their owners are mutual guardians.
Given Ah Qing's current unusual state, Jin Wanlin naturally needed to consult her guardian for opinions.
"Is that so?"
Ansheng thought for a moment, looked at the odd Ah Qing, who was chewing with puffed cheeks, and waved his little hand.
"You're a fox, you can come in..." The strange Ah Qing stopped eating for a moment upon seeing the fox ears on Master Fortune Fox's head and spoke to him.
Ah Qing's speech was muffled, much like a person who had just woken up.
"Oh.... she can recognize me even while sleepwalking? No, I should say her accuracy is even higher."
Seeing Ah Qing raise her hand and beckon to him, Ansheng was taken aback and commented wryly.
Ansheng went to Ah Qing, sat on the chair beside her with a look of helplessness, and said, "So..."
"Ah Qing, what's going on now?"
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, it seemed like Ah Qing heard the helplessness in Master Fortune Fox's tone. She thought for a moment, then took out the chicken leg from her meal and handed it to Ansheng, who had a pair of fox ears.
Though she was somewhat dazed, she vaguely sensed a familiar scent from this person in front of her.
"Who knows what happened, oh my! Your guardian just jumped up and hammered my head!"
Uncle Jinlong managed to shake off the dizziness in his mind after a while. Seeing Master Fortune Fox sitting in the hall, he was ready to take strides back to Wanlin to seek comfort...
Indeed.
The entire Fortune Fox family, from male to female, is gifted with strength, and when it comes to Spirit Beasts, they simply thrash them around.
"Jin Long! Run!"
Jin Wanlin, upon seeing Jin Long walking back, was shocked and yelled.
Brother! They said the fox could enter the room, but you, with those scales and armor, are you a Dunjia Fox?
"Hmm?"
Just as Jin Long's paw was about to cross the door boundary of the special care ward area, Ah Qing raised her head, did a kip-up, which scared Uncle Jinlong into trembling.
"Ah Qing...."
Seeing this, Ansheng also sat up and looked seriously at Ah Qing, who was already standing.
"Hmm?"
Ah Qing responded in confusion.
"It's nothing serious. Originally, I just wanted to pretend we met coincidentally to wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."
"However..... it seems that's not happening this year." Ansheng sighed, stepped forward, and gave Ah Qing a hug:
"Even though you're sleepwalking, I still have to say it."
"Ah Qing, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival——"
"Mua～" The little fox leapt up, quickly transforming from a human form to a six-tailed fox, then regressed to a regular fox form, giving Ah Qing's cheek a kiss.
"Eep eep eep——"
Ah Qing instinctively dropped the meal in her hand to protect the little fox that landed, with a slight change in her expression.
"Hmm...."
Ah Qing seemed to be pondering something and naturally reached up to the small fox's belly, parting the white long fur.
"Wait.... "
"What are you looking for? I'm congratulating you, and you turn around and unbutton my double-breasted coat, is that appropriate?"
