Chapter 021 In the palm of someone's hand
…
The darkness wrapping her consciousness is a bit annoying for Sung Jisoo. She was actually annoyed at herself for developing a dangerous attitude while she was in another world. At that time in the other world, she did not feel any strong feelings towards her surroundings and is always neutral towards things that came to her life.
So whenever someone attacks her with a sword, she would usually not mind it and even let it hit her body. As a result, her opponent's blade would suffer a backlash and would render their hands incapacitated because of the energy barrier protecting her body.
And because of this, she sometimes wanted to feel the feeling of getting stabbed or get wounded.
She was too engrossed in wanting to get such a feeling that it became a habit of her to not dodge and let a blade hit her once or twice. But who would have known that she would still carry the same habit until now? It was too late for her to remember that her body has actually turned weak.
But since it has already happened, she did not want to linger on such a topic.
She looks at the void before her and noticed her demi-god spark.
When she saw the glowing power within it, she knew that her demi-god spark actually did not lose its power. Instead, there is a thin golden light casing it. The golden light is preventing her from using the full potential of her spark.
"Is… is this the power of a Deity… the God realm?" she muttered while looking at the golden glow enveloping her demi-god spark.
No matter how strong I was in my previous world, it seems that it was not enough to fight against a true god.
She has learned that immortals and cultivators are false gods until they were able to reach the God realm which would grant them unimaginable power and indestructible body.
Once the God realm is reached, she knew that she would not be able to stay in that world and would instead begin to roam the universe and create her own world. That is the process in which the universe existed.
Then suddenly, a voice enters her mind…
"Worlds are created by the Gods then followed by life. Then as life grew more powerful, worthy creations are chosen before the world is destroyed and renewed. As new Gods are created, this is followed by the expansion of the known universe into the void. Then that cycle continues in an unending and infinite progression which is the true purpose of life."
Sung Jisoo frowns as she looks at the void around her while her vision began to be filled with endless images of worlds.
"Young demi-god… Are you worthy of becoming a Goddess?" the voice asked.
But the tone is amiable as if a calm father talking to his daughter.
Sung Jisoo did not reply and just kept her silence while thinking to herself.
She lifted her head then looks at the void.
"You know that I am not from this world… My path is different from your children… So why say these things to me?" Sung Jisoo looks at the void and she did not even bother showing a hint of contempt on her pretty face.
"Hmm… We shall see… I hope that you can still say such a thing in the future…" the voice slowly faded into the void.
"Wait… What do you mean?... Hello! Are you still there?!" Sung Jisoo called out while feeling a hint of panic in her heart.
She did not want to stay in this void where she felt hopeless.
Her eyes tilted to the side where her demi-god spark is floating.
She did not know what to do now if only that voice could have told her how to get out of this place. She suddenly wanted to curse herself for being too proud at that time and did not ask that voice how to get out of this place.
Suddenly, she noticed some traces of Reiki entering the spark making it glow. When the Reiki enters the spark, she could see the golden glow flickering.
Sung Jisoo rubbed her small chin, and then as if finding an answer to her questions, she showed a crafty grin on her beautiful face.
"Is this a trial or something? Humph… No need to ask then…" she thought.
…
In a white room, the strong stench of disinfectant odor wafted in the air where a beautiful young woman calmly lies on the patient's bed. The people in the emergency department would steal glances at her, every now and then, showing admiration in their eyes with a hint of fondness.
The woman is not the only one attracting the attention of everyone in the department but also another one who is holding the beautiful patient's hand with deep concern in her eyes.
"She's really beautiful… It was as if I'm looking at a fairy or something…" a patient on the side said.
"Yeah, the both of them are absolute beauties… But I like the unconscious one…"
"Umm… She looks like a living sculpture…"
"I wish, they could stay in here for a while… Hehe…"
Some even took pictures secretly, but Anne Jing did not have any thoughts of reprimanding them as her mind is focused on the unconscious Sung Jisoo.
It has been a few hours since the doctors operated on her stab wound. She was told that Sung Jisoo would wake up soon, but until now, she is still unconscious.
Suddenly, a group of police officers barges inside the emergency department which startled everyone inside.
…
Meanwhile, inside the police station, in the police chief's room
"I told you… This is not something that those bastards could just blame on others… I have gotten my hands on a piece of evidence that will point out that this case is kidnapping. Now, tell them that I, John Ma will not bow on their whim…" a fat-looking middle-aged man shouted as he hangs up the phone.
"How dare those people to try to dip their hands in my jurisdiction… Did they think that they are all that because they have connections? Well… I, John Ma, also have my own connections! Humph!" he harrumphs in anger as he went back to his seat.
He then looks at the video recording that they discovered inside the factory. Luckily for him, he sent one of his men to the area. If not, then this piece of evidence would have already disappeared.
He sits on his computer table and looks at the image.
"What a powerful woman…" he muttered as he showed a faint smile on his face.
He then showed interest as he continues playing the scene on the screen.
When he hit play, he saw a young woman whom he had known to be called Sung Jisoo, taking down one by one several men surrounding her.
The conversation in the video is very clear, and this is the reason why he did not lower his head even with the pressure from other authorities calling him for a while now.
He is also a father and has a daughter. What would happen if these maniacs did this to his daughter? And for this reason, he wanted to see how this case would unfold till the end.
He dialed a number and waited for the other end of the line to pick up.
"Hello?... Hey, senior brother… How have you been?" he suddenly showed a big smile when someone answered.
"That's good… Umm… Senior… I… I think I found someone who should be just like us… a true martial artist."
"No… This one is authentic. She is nothing like those pretentious fools… Plus, I think she is using spirit Qi…" he showed a smile after saying that.
He knew that his senior brother would become interested upon hearing such a word.
And true to his conjecture, the man on the other end of the line suddenly became a bit excited.
"I will send you the video… But she is in trouble right now… should we help?" he asked and waited for a while.
"Yes… yes… I understand." John Ma showed a complicated expression on his face after ending the call.
But he then smiles after analyzing what his senior brother has said.
"Observing her, for the time being, is correct… but I can't let this junior sister suffer…" he then looks at the night sky outside his office window.
At the same time in the hospital, Sung Jisoo was now taken to a private ward. Anne Jing called her mother to calm her down.
"Mom, you should stay at home and keep the doors locked… I and Jisoo will be fine. I don't want you to not get involved in this trouble… and Jisoo is already fine, so don't worry too much…" she then ended the call after that and looks at Jisoo who is still lying unconscious on the side.
Ugh…
Sung Jisoo slowly opens her eyes and what greeted her is the worried expression of Anne Jing.
"Jisoo! Jisoo, how are you feeling?" she asked with a worried tone.
Sung Jisoo did not answer but instead winks her eyes then signaled for Anne Jing to keep quiet.
Right at that moment, Anne Jing froze as she immediately thought that something is wrong.
"Do not make them know that I am already awake…" Sung Jisoo said in a low tone.
"What… What are you planning?" Anne Jing asked with a worried tone.
"To cover our bases…" Sung Jisoo replied with a crafty smile on her face.
The two then discussed what they should do in low voices.
…
The next day, Anne Jing left the hospital and went home.
Meanwhile, Sung Jisoo began to heal her wound using her Reiki. While inside the void, she discovered that she is actually receiving Reiki from the hospital. One source is from the doctors who are checking her and some from the nurses.
It was positive Reiki which seems to be from their admiration directed towards her.
Then the other one is from Anne Jing's necklace which she secretly absorbed.
And so, with an abundant Reiki in her body, she began to heal her wounds until even the scar has already about to disappear.
"I think those people behind those two young masters would retaliate soon…" Sung Jisoo thought for a while as she slowly opens her eyes.
She directed her gaze at her left hand which is wearing a handcuff. Sung Jisoo could not help but frown upon seeing this.
"Hmm… I knew that I did not kill anyone. Why should they still put this on my hand?…" she thought.
When she regained her consciousness a while ago, she has already noticed some abnormalities in the room.
Outside there are two police officers standing on guard.
She did not know whether those people are here to prevent her from getting hurt or from escaping.
Although she did not know and was a bit confused, Sung Jisoo could not help but show a faint smile on her face.
"Do these people think that I am a pushover?" she thought as she closes her eyes once again and began to concentrate.
