Chapter 21 ：I'm awake?

I was staring at the darkness in front of me, my ears echoing with the sound of one crash after another, my heart filled with complex emotions, not knowing whether I was happy or scared.

Just now, in the Ox-Headed God's hall, when the Ox-Headed God sent out purple spiritual magic, I barely had time to think, and the only reaction I could make was to "forcefully go offline".

After a player is forced offline, their body stays in the game for five minutes. If my enemy was an ordinary monster, of course I wouldn't do that, because five minutes would be enough time for my opponent to defeat me easily. But when the opponent was spirit magic and would likely affect my nervous system, going offline was the only option I had to protect my body. If I hadn't been unable to move my hands, I would have removed my virtual helmet the moment I went offline.

However, to my surprise, after retreating into black space, the purple ball of light came right after me. Although it seemed unable to pass through the small holes on the black space, it kept attacking the black space. If he really was able to break through this space, I don't know what would become of me. Perhaps, the Ox-Headed God would seal me up like Shirk did, and I might just end up staying in a different room. But maybe I'll be free as a result?

The attack lasted for a while and then stopped. There were some soft sounds from outside, followed by a violent explosion. Calm returned to my surroundings, but I could still feel a familiar will locking onto me, daring me to relax.

I don't know how long it took before I was convinced that the will had left. I took a deep breath, still unable to calm down in my mind, only knowing that I was just on the verge of extreme danger.

I didn't spend too much time analyzing what I had just seen. The Sarks and Lyon were still in the Great Hall and in great danger. I must not leave my friends behind.

Perhaps the Bull Head God would focus his attention on Lyon and the others when he returned. I can take this opportunity to suddenly appear and perhaps succeed in my sneak attack. Even if I failed, the big deal was to go offline once again. Thus, I logged back into the game.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that I was lying on the ground, my body a little sore from the fall. I hurriedly looked around and realized that the Sarks and Lyon and the others had all fallen unconscious from dislocation. Surprisingly, the will of the bull-headed Great God was gone.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I quickly picked up the magic crystal on the ground and quickly inserted it into the gaping hole of the crystal that sealed the Bullhead God's body. Accompanied by a crisp "ding", the system prompted, "You have successfully restored the 'Seal of the Bull-headed God', gaining 500 reputation!"

Immediately afterward, a white light flashed, and the system prompted, "Your spiritual power has risen by 10, and you have obtained the 'Seal of the Wise'." "The other players participating in this quest, each of them has their spiritual power rise by 5, and they gain prestige 100."

Letting out a long breath, it took me a long time to confirm that this was all true. With a relieved spirit, I sat down on the ground, closed my eyes, and used my mind's eye to find the "Mark of the Wise" on my forehead. This mark increased my spiritual power by 5 points, my enlightenment by 2 points, my creativity by 1 point, and my resistance to spiritual magic by 10%. With my current spiritual power, I'm afraid I'm no weaker than any mage or priest of the same level. And with Gnosis at full value and Creativity even exceeding the maximum, I wonder what effect it will have. Spiritual Magic Resistance was even more pleasing to me, and now when I faced spiritual magic, my heart would be much more solid. However, Spiritual Magic Resistance was a hidden attribute, I didn't know what my own resistance was yet.

After my fatigue level recovered, I searched around the great hall and didn't find any treasure chests or secret rooms or anything like that. It seemed like treasures could only be found on the Ox Head Great God. I had no choice but to pick up some of the weapons left behind by the Sarks. However, it seemed that when they left, they took all the good equipment with them, and I only found a few dozen pieces of iron grade equipment that were still usable.

My mind raced, "Since the Bull Head God has been sealed, are the treasures inside that door on the right also out of his control? Perhaps, there is no longer his will in those treasures ..."

"The reason why Ahan was controlled by the Bull Head God was because he had a weak will, whereas I, obviously, am stronger than the others. The Bull Head God's 'Will of Sorrow' didn't even manage to control me, so even if the treasures have his residual magic, I'm not afraid, am I ..."

"In those treasures, if they really carry the will of the Demon God, won't other people accidentally enter and be controlled to release the Demon God again? It's better for me to eliminate this threat ..."

"If I can't raise 70 gold coins in three days, my territory will go down the drain, and all my hard work for so many days will come to nothing. The Ox God Great God's treasure, since it's used as bait, it should be quite valuable ..."

Finally convinced myself, I walked out of the hall and pushed open the door of "wealth".

Behind the door was a curved maze, but it wasn't hard for me. I'm a seasoned player, and it took me less than half an hour to make my way through this small labyrinth, marking my way through.

What came into view was a not-so-big warehouse-like room. There was no dazzling beadwork, but I couldn't help but drool. The entire room, except for a set of clothes made of some unknown material on the front, was a dozen or so bookshelves, on which all the books were placed. On the floor, on the other hand, there were all gold coins!

Using Detection plus Intuition to look at that set of clothing, it was actually a gold level "full-time suit"!

My eyes are red, these things are just prepared for me. Luckily I came here, otherwise I would have missed it.

I rushed up with great strides, completely ignoring the possible dangers, and grabbed at the costume.

At that very moment, a violent vibration suddenly occurred before my eyes. After the vibration, everything disappeared and I fell back into the black space in my brain.

What happened? I didn't know what caused me to quit the game. But why were there noisy human voices in my ears?

"Nurse, get another brain spectrum to try on him. And then give him a neural reflex test."

Listening to the cluttered voices, I was stunned and couldn't believe my ears. Could it be that I had actually come back to life? I couldn't be dreaming, could I? No, this must be in a game.

I looked around for the small hole on the black space, but I couldn't find it. I couldn't help but panic a little, could it be that I could no longer enter the game? I soon reacted, it seemed that my virtual helmet had been removed, and I was afraid that the original small hole was caused by the virtual helmet.

I finally confirmed that I was hearing voices in reality. I had finally returned to human society!

I pricked up my ears and excitedly distinguished various long-lost sounds. In addition to the human voices around me, there were also the sounds of disorganized footsteps, the sounds of moving things around, breathing sounds, and even a few chirps of small birds. It was rather muffled, but it sounded to me like it was coming from the best stereo.

If I could control my tear ducts, I would have shed a tear by now. The feeling was incredible, I had finally regained the same function, albeit only hearing, but it proved that my full recovery had become possible. I remembered reading the news in the past that when a vegetative person didn't wake up for six months, the hope of recovery was basically gone. And it was a miracle that I had the possibility of coming back to life twenty years after the fact!

I fantasized wildly about finally waking up. What am I going to do when I wake up? Rush out to a big dinner? Go out on the street and look at pretty girls for a month? Or go to my few friends and surprise them? No, what surprise? I'm afraid I'll scare them to death, haha! By the way, if I come back to life, the TV stations and newspapers will be the first to run to interview me, right? I'll ignore them unless they give me a million dollars ...

Just as I was immersed in my fantasy, a voice came to my ears, "What's wrong, all the physiological data is still the same as before. But just now, his brainwave mapping clearly showed a violent fluctuation, just like an explosion." Another voice asked, "Could there be a problem with the equipment?" "Most likely, after all, this is twenty years old equipment." "Then Director, isn't it better to replace this new one for him?" "This, forget it, leave it for future patients. This Chen Jun is no longer likely to have a miracle, and this equipment is just a decoration, there's no need to waste it on him."

After being busy for a while, the previous voice said, "It seems that the equipment is indeed malfunctioning, that's it, nurse, you guys restore everything to its original state, let's go."

I went from heaven to hell in an instant, but not for long. I quickly calmed down. It seemed that the black space had completely blocked the signals from my brainwaves. The fluctuation just now was probably caused by the spirit magic of the Ox-Headed Great God hitting the black space and triggering an explosion. It was only for a moment, but at least it was discovered by the hospital. I believe the hospital will pay more attention to my situation in the future. Moreover, my sense of hearing has been restored, so it seems that I really need to thank this "Ox-Headed Great God".

Anyway, things have gotten off to a good start. It will get better and better from here. It seems that "Fantastic Journey" has the potential to restore my nerves, just as I expected.

At this point, one of the nurses let out an ouch, "This gaming equipment of his is so complicated, I don't know how to install it." Another nurse thought for a moment, "Let's ask Lisa, the new intern, to help. Her family is rich, maybe the gaming equipment she's using is also of this grade."

Not long after, along with the sound of approaching high heels hitting the ground, an elegant and gentle female voice rang in my ears, "Really, I can't imagine that such a patient is still using the highest grade equipment, the same as my own set ah."
