Chapter 790: Chapter 790: Ning Fan’s Obsession_1

"Time to eat."

A Dragon Group member wearing a hat walked into the room holding food, where Ning Fan was held captive.

Behind him, several fully armed Dragon Group members followed, vigilantly surveying the room.

They had already marked Ning Fan as a top-level alert target, with no less than four members supervising the daily meal delivery.

If Ning Fan made any sudden moves, the entire room would be sealed instantaneously, and the remaining members would not hesitate to open fire.

Even if it meant sacrificing the other Dragon Group members, they would absolutely not let Ning Fan escape.

The member carrying the meal slowly walked to the outside of the room, set down the food, paused briefly, then turned and left.

Throughout the process, Ning Fan made no movements, simply sitting still, seemingly having fallen asleep.

It was only after everyone had left that Ning Fan’s eyes snapped open, a sharp glint crossing his gaze.

He stepped forward, picked up the plate, and ate in mouthfuls.

In the surveillance camera’s feed, Ning Fan displayed nothing out of the ordinary.

However, in a spot that the camera couldn’t reach, underneath the plate, his fingers found a small device.

Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged as he grasped it, subtly sliding it into his sleeve, and continued to eat.

"Is this kid really that powerful?"

"Definitely. Otherwise, would we have so many people just to bring him food?"

"The other criminals at most have two people delivering their meals, but here it’s a squad of six. The treatment is clearly different!"

Someone waved to the member who delivered the meal, "Buddy, we rarely see you. Are you new here?"

The Dragon Group member, with his head down, waved and replied, "Yeah, just joined. I’ve got work to do now."

Without waiting for anyone else to hold her back, she quickly walked to the corner, took off her hat, revealing her beautiful, delicate face.

It was Mu Wanqing!

She glanced back at the room, her eyebrows knitting together with worry in her eyes.

The device she had hidden under the food plate was a disabler she had prepared by herself.

But since she couldn’t get her hands on the traction device, she had to dismantle the controller by hand.

"Ning Fan, this is all I can do to help you..."

...

Inside the room, Ning Fan finished his meal and lay straight on the ground, seemingly falling asleep immediately.

But on his unseen back, his hands grabbed the traction device and placed it against his spine.

Inside the disabler was a note with instructions on how to use the apparatus.

It was only now that Ning Fan understood why no matter how he activated his cultivation technique, he couldn’t control his spiritual power.

The controller was installed directly on his spine, and the wires extending from it clung to his insides like a spider.

No matter how he tried to bypass it, as soon as he used spiritual power, he would touch this spider.

"Without the traction device, I can’t remove this spider in the normal way, which leaves me no choice but to forcibly peel it off!"

Ning Fan shut his eyes, recalling the steps written on the note, and began to operate the disabler.

Clang!

With a light sound, a sharp blade emerged from the disabler.

Ning Fan took a deep breath and slowly pressed the blade into his body at his vertebral spine.

Thud!

Deprived of spiritual power protection, Ning Fan’s body was powerful, but not yet extraordinary.

At least, under his deliberate control, a normal blade could penetrate his flesh.

The blade sliced through the layers of flesh and meridians until it reached the spine.

"Hiss!"

Despite being mentally prepared, the sudden chill still made Ning Fan involuntarily gasp.

He felt like he could hear the blade grating against his spine, a sensation so unnerving that he felt every hair on his body stand on end.

Blood kept oozing from the wound, quickly staining the ground beneath him red.

In this way, Ning Fan slowly outlined the shape of the controller in his mind.

It was indeed a spider-like apparatus clinging stubbornly to his spine.

To remove it, he could only peel away the outstretched branches, one by one.

"Ugh..."

Even with his strong willpower, Ning Fan couldn’t help groaning in pain during the removal.

Large beads of cold sweat slid from his forehead.

Yet, he continued to bite down hard, peeling off the branches bit by bit from his body.

Fueling his determination to continue was his obsession with Xu Yourong.

"Yourong... wait for me, I will definitely come to find you!"

Thinking of Xu Yourong’s indifferent expression when she left, Ning Fan’s heart ached.

What was lost was not just Xu Yourong’s memory, but the experiences he and Xu Yourong had shared together.

Those were memories the two of them shared, and he would never let them just vanish like that!

As his blood continued to spread beneath him, the anomaly in the room was noticed by those monitoring the surveillance.

"What’s going on?"

"Damn it, the target is bleeding profusely, suspected to have a sudden injury!"

"How is that possible? We’ve already provided him with emergency treatment, this shouldn’t be happening!"

"Stop blabbing and hurry to save him! This is a key target! If he dies, we’ll all be in big trouble!"

Dragon Group members immediately took a team of medical personnel and rushed towards the place where Ning Fan was being held.
