Chapter 104: Chapter 48: Entering the Ark

Li Yelai was sent back to his family apartment by Cheese when it had already turned dark.

As soon as he got out of the car, Li Yelai opened the trunk and took out the Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet he had long been anticipating.

This special equipment came from No.1 Border City.

Because it required the dispatch of official Spiritual Ability Users for the transportation task.

Thus, the transportation fee alone cost ten Merit Points.

The Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet looked more like a finely crafted multi-functional tactical helmet.

As soon as Li Yelai picked up the helmet, he felt the Spiritual Barrier on his body dissipate somewhat, and his Spiritual Energy was suppressed.

If he activated the Face at this moment, the consumption of Spiritual Energy would likely be even greater.

"Is this... the effect of Anti-Spiritual Power?" Li Yelai was somewhat surprised but more filled with anticipation.

"Yes, although it’s rare, occasionally humans are born with Anti-Spiritual effects. Because of their innate Anti-Spiritual Effect, they can’t use their own Spiritual Energy normally, but they are enough to cause headaches for various Spiritual Ability Users. They are known as Anti-Spiritual Ability Users," Cheese explained. "Through studying them, Giant City developed this type of equipment with Anti-Spiritual Effect. Some Spiritual Ability Users choose to carry this equipment to enhance their defenses."

"If you put on this Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet, then my suggestions and hypnotic effects will be greatly reduced. They might even be ignored. Those attacks using Spiritual Energy against you will also be weakened," Cheese explained. "Similarly, your own Spiritual Energy will be suppressed. Your Spiritual Barrier weakened, and ability usage will cost significantly more."

Li Yelai nodded and carried the helmet, taking the elevator with Cheese.

Cheese looked at Li Yelai pressing the floor button and couldn’t help saying, "It seems, you’re bringing a girl home late at night."

Li Yelai nodded.

Cheese started pointing and asked, "Tell me, am I the first girl to come to your house?"

"Uh, no. When I was moving, Doll came to help; she should be considered the first guest. You were preparing for a breakthrough at that time, so I didn’t disturb you," Li Yelai honestly replied.

"Tch!" Cheese raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "This is the time when I should complain ’But I was actually the first!’"

Li Yelai was somewhat immune to Cheese’s banter.

Ignoring Cheese’s banter, he led her to the front of his home and asked her to wait outside the door.

"I hope your sister won’t be afraid of me when she puts on the helmet," Cheese said softly.

Li Yelai nodded slightly and then entered the door.

He found Li Yunyan still drawing and handed the helmet to her.

Li Yunyan, initially confused, quickly took over the helmet.

As soon as Li Yunyan put on the Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet, she felt the oppressive feeling around her lessen significantly.

She couldn’t help but feel surprised and hopeful.

"How do you feel?" Li Yelai asked.

"I feel... much better... I want to go out and have a look," Li Yunyan looked around, her voice filled with excitement.

She had been waiting for too long, she could finally be unafraid of others.

She wanted to leave the room, escape this nightmarish world, and return to the normal world.

"Hold on, let me introduce you first to my senior," Li Yelai blocked Li Yunyan and slowly opened the door, revealing Cheese hidden outside.

From Li Yunyan’s point of view, she saw a short-haired girl with a gentle appearance.

Her already delicate features became more charming outlined by her almond eyes.

Cheese was somewhat nervous, she intended to say some playful words like ’little sister-in-law’ but was too nervous to speak and just smiled at Li Yunyan.

Fearing that she would trigger the curse.

Li Yunyan was silent as she looked at Cheese for a few seconds before exclaiming with joy.

"She is... your beautiful senior? And she’s a busty girl! Great, great! I want to see a chaotic scene! I want to see blood flows like a river!"

She babbled excitedly, overjoyed that she had finally escaped the terrifying curse.

This made both Li Yelai and Cheese happy as well. However, just as Cheese wanted to step closer and join in Li Yunyan’s wild talk,

Li Yunyan suddenly stiffened. In her eyes, the beautiful short-haired girl, as she made her move, had countless tentacles and limbs spreading from her body, and her originally delicate face also instantly twisted into a sinister and cold expression.

This made Li Yunyan’s joyous expression stiffen, and her face turned pale in an instant, with cold sweat pouring down.

Cheese, quickly noticing the abnormality, pulled back her foot and swiftly retreated, leaving Li Yunyan’s field of view.

Li Yelai also immediately stood in front of Li Yunyan, blocking her vision, fearing that she would be frightened by other creatures outside.

Li Yelai pulled the stiff Li Yunyan back into her bedroom.

After a long while, Li Yunyan finally spoke faintly, "Why did this happen? I clearly saw her already! I really did..."

Her words were filled with despair and helplessness.

She had clearly seen hope, but in the next second, hope turned into a thick wall of despair, shattering all her flukes.

Li Yelai also felt disheartened but still tried to cheer her up, "At least, at first, you could see her. We can slowly find a pattern, don’t be afraid...."

"Okay..." Li Yunyan shook her head slightly, "Please invite your senior in to sit."

...

After several experiments between Li Yunyan and Cheese, the three of them eventually concluded.

The Anti-Spiritual Ability Helmet indeed had an effect, but it was minor.

The helmet indeed enabled Li Yunyan to partially rid her vision of creatures from the curse’s influence, at least for a short period.
