"Ling Wuji, the consultant of Fei Shiyuan, is said to be an expert in viruses. However, he has never done any research related to viruses since he was hired, nor has he produced any results. On the contrary, he has used the title of consultant to stir up trouble in the mysterious side," Tsurugi Ya also walked out of the darkness at this time. As mentioned earlier, in Sakuragi Shu's impression, this is a person who is very good at pretending. He is wearing a black combat uniform like a cloak, and his tall figure and handsome face are also very suitable for pretending. Coupled with his deliberately maintained calm, arrogant and unhurried tone, it will give people a sense of oppression from a superior position. "But I didn't expect that you would actually study the Apocalypse Virus, and you can investigate to this extent."
"What's going on, Ya? What did he mean when he said that only I can bear the Void Genome? Is it true that Yui Inori is a clone of her real name? In other words, did Yui Inori deliberately come to my side and give me the Void Genome? Is all this something you use to control me? Answer me, Ya!"
Instead, Sakuramitsu Shu excitedly shouted at Tsuchiya Gaya.
"In this world, the weak can only be used as pawns by the strong. This is the truth I realized after the 'Lost Christmas' incident. Your Excellency, in your opinion, what is a truly strong person? He clearly already has that kind of ability, so can he be considered a strong person now?"
Tsuchiya Gaya did not directly answer Sakuman Shu's question, but pointed at him and asked Ling Wu Ji.
"Ah, it seems that answering this kind of question directly would be more hurtful to one's self-esteem, right?" Ling Wuji shook his head, but his implication was obviously that the answer was no. Then he added, "But is it really okay? It seems that from a standpoint, I am your enemy, right?"
"You said you wanted to help Ji become the savior, so from this standpoint, we can be friends. As for the subsequent political struggle, it depends on whether you think we can replace Fei Shiyuan."
"If your revolution is just to replace them, then that's all," Ling Wuji glanced at Yan Shenya and said, "Besides, you are too selfish."

"No, he did it for us..."
The girl sitting in the wheelchair suddenly loudly refuted Ling Wu Ji's evaluation of Tsuchiya.
"No, I admit this evaluation. However, selfishness and revolution are not contradictory, right?" Tsuchiya Ya stretched out his hand to stop Shinomiya Ayase from speaking, and instead started a discussion with Ling Wuji.
"I'm not saying that you can't have selfish motives when making revolution, but I'm saying that selfish motives can't override public motives. You look like the kind of person who will use selfish motives to override public motives at certain times," Ling Wuji shook his head. "Indeed, in your opinion, maybe you made yourself pay the price for your selfish motives, but knowing that it was not in line with public motives, you still did it for your own selfish motives. Is that what a revolutionary leader should do?"
Tsugami Ya shook his head: "No."
"But you're not going to change, are you?"
Tsurugi Ya nodded.
Ling Wuji said indifferently: "Whatever, my goal is to completely solve the Apocalypse virus. If you are lucky, the foundation of your revolution may disappear. By then, even the revolutionary program will change. It won't matter if the leader is changed..."
"But the funeral home is Ya..."
When the wheelchair girl heard Ling Wuji say that, she immediately shouted at him, but Yang Shenya stopped her from continuing, and then said calmly: "Then please do as you please, sir. I will inform others of your visit."
He turned and left.
The girl in the wheelchair stared at Ling Wuji with hostility and turned the wheel of the wheelchair by hand, but accidentally bumped into something and fell off the wheelchair. Ying Manji immediately ran over and wanted to help her up, but she refused and said, "The wheelchair is part of my personality. I have decided not to use help from others. But it doesn't look good if I get up by myself, so can you please go back first?"
Sakuraman Shu had no choice but to turn around.
Seeing Ling Wuji still standing there absentmindedly, he didn't want to embarrass Shinomiya Ayase and wanted to say something to pull him away, but he heard Ling Wuji say, "You said that the wheelchair is part of your personality. Is it because of your perverted self-esteem, or do you really think that the wheelchair is an indispensable part of your body?"
"Student Ling..."
Sakuraman Shu immediately wanted to hold him back.
But Shinomiya Ayase immediately replied: "This has nothing to do with you!"
"But what if I tell you that I have a way to get you back on your feet?"
Although Ling Wu Ji's words were still in that casual tone, they sounded deafening to the ears of the other two people present, and they were stunned for a moment.
Sakuraman Ji immediately wanted to grab Ling Wuzhi, but the young man did not give him the chance. The whole person was like an elusive breeze, and Sakuraman Ji inevitably missed and almost hit the wall.
Shinomiya Ayase's expression changed several times, but she finally said angrily: "I don't want your charity!"
"Oh, it really is due to that perverted self-esteem."
Ling Wu Ji said thoughtfully.
"Student Ling..."
Sakuramitsu Shu could only speak weakly on the side.
"Well, Savior-san, lead the way. Let's find a place where we can talk."
"Well, please don't call me that. Just call me Shu," Sakuraman Shu said carefully while examining the boy's face, "Also, can Ling really heal her leg?"
"Student Ji, when I went to your house to investigate, a female classmate named Xiaojo Matsuri was worried about you. She insisted that you were innocent and asked me to clear your name as soon as possible."
"That... has nothing to do with now..."
Sakuraman Shu's voice became lower and lower.
"It really has nothing to do with the present," Ling Wuji said, "but it has nothing to do with whether I can heal her leg or not, right?"
"How can it not be related..."
"Why would it matter? With her abnormal self-esteem, wouldn't she not accept charity from others? You're not trying to say that she or you can make some kind of exchange with me? But I have no desires right now. Even if I want to solve the problem of the Apocalypse virus, it's only out of my sense of responsibility as a consultant to the Non-Time Academy. Also, Ji, if you think you can use your identity as a savior to force me to heal her leg, then I have to think carefully about whether you are worthy of being helped."
"But..." Sakuramitsu's voice became louder and louder, "Ayase is in trouble now!"
"That's enough! Sakura Manji! You should just take care of yourself first!"
"But……"
Sakuraman Ji wanted to say something else, but Shinomiya Ayase firmly crawled towards the wheelchair. Sakuraman Ji couldn't bear to see her in such a state, and his eyes were unclear about where to look. But Ling Wuji still said absentmindedly: "Classmate Ji, Tsuchiya Ya just asked me if someone like you can be considered a strong person. I think you must know the answer yourself, so I don't need to say more. But now I also want to ask you, is someone like her considered a strong person?"
"Well, Ayase is both strong and reliable, and she can also pilot an End Rave, so I guess... I guess so."
"But being able to drive an End Rave is at most an ability. In terms of ability, with your right hand, you can easily destroy a few End Raves. And you yourself have some character strengths, such as gentleness, but why do I still feel that you are not a strong person?" Ling Wu Ji said.
Sakuraman Shu suddenly became speechless and was too ashamed to utter a word.
"Since you are so boastful, then why don't you tell me what a strong person is? Is it someone like you who can look down on others from a high position?"
Shinomiya Ayase finally climbed onto the wheelchair. Seeing the two boys still standing there talking, she couldn't help but sneer at them.
"Strong or weak is just other people's evaluation. I am not interested in other people's evaluation. For me, what is important is whether I can achieve my goal." Ling Wuji took the initiative to pat Ying Manji's shoulder and said, "Yes, it is also very important to know your own purpose. If you want to know your purpose, you must first know your heart. For example, is it because of her physical defects that she does not want to receive sympathy from others and thus develops a perverted self-esteem, or is it because she has had that perverted self-esteem for a long time?"
Although Sakuraman Shu felt that it was too rude to explore other people's psychology in front of the person, he still couldn't help asking: "Is there any difference between the two?"
"Although in terms of behavior, there is no difference between the two. They both want to prove that they can do better than others even without legs. However, if it is the former, she should not resist being able to stand up. After all, that is the root of her problem. So I guess she should be the latter?"
"No, it's the former."
The wheelchair girl suddenly said calmly.

"It's amazing how self-aware you are."
"But your purpose is actually to stimulate me and make me accept your treatment, right?"
At this time, Shinomiya Ayase became even calmer and said.
"Well..."
"I don't know what you want to do, and I can't give you much money. I can only say that if you need it in the future, I will spare no effort to help you. How about that?"
Ling Wuji sighed: "Forget it. Anyway, helping you with your treatment doesn't have much practical significance other than satisfying my curiosity."
"Curiosity?" Sakuraman Ji immediately asked.
"Student Ji, you have never extracted her void, right?"
Ying Manshu immediately shook his head.
"So you don't know what her void is?"
"Do you have the ability to see other people's emptiness like Ya?"
Ling Wuji nodded without commenting: "Her void is a mechanical exoskeleton prosthesis. Perhaps you have all heard of a theory that the void can reflect a person's mind, and is the object of a person's desire, fear, and worry. Her limbs are disabled, so she longs to get something so that she can use it to travel freely anywhere in this world. I am just curious, if she is cured, will the object of her desire change, that's all."
"If that's the case, then what is your void?"
When Shinomiya Ayase heard him say this, she immediately asked again.
"Not to mention that the person who can extract the void must be infected or a carrier of the Apocalypse virus. Even if I am, he can't extract it."
Ling Wuji just shook his head.
"why?"
"Because my soul is substantially different from that of ordinary people. Although soul materialization is a high-end field in the mysterious world, who can control this ability? Extracting the void can be regarded as a confrontation between two souls. If the person whose void is extracted is just an ordinary person, he or she will certainly not be able to resist the extraction of a chosen person like Ji. But if it is a person on the mysterious side, it is hard to say. Fortunately, Ji has never been active in the mysterious world, otherwise it would not be my turn to study it."
"Soul materialization?"
At this time, Shinomiya Ayase also pushed her wheelchair and caught up with the two boys, and also interjected.
Ling Wuji considered his words and said, "Since you have accepted the existence of the void, then you should acknowledge the existence of the soul, right? But the soul is originally a very fragile thing. It must be placed in the body and must absorb nutrients from the material world through related biological activities such as eating to continue to exist. Soul materialization refers to turning the soul into a state where it can survive directly in the material world without being placed in the body. In China, this form is called Yang Shen. In this way, the purpose of eternal life can be achieved. In the mystical side, this process is called the third method, and those who can do it are called magicians, or real people."
"But……"
Sakuramitsu Shu stretched out his right hand and examined it carefully for a moment in the dim moonlight shining through the glass in the aisle, but he still couldn't imagine what the extraction of the void had to do with the so-called third method.
"Of course, what you, or the Apocalypse Virus, can do is only incomplete materialization of the soul."
"Incomplete soul materialization?"
"Perhaps the Eve chosen by the Origin Stone, your sister Sakura Mana, can completely materialize her soul, but the void you extracted is just a dead object. If you remove your brain and soak it in formalin to make a specimen, it will remain unchanged forever even after you die. Do you think you can treat that brain as another you?"
Ying Manshu shook his head.
"Similarly, even if the void is part of the soul, you can materialize it, but it can't be regarded as another self. At most, it is just a projection of the desires, fears, and worries of the human heart, just like the words written by a writer. You can certainly use them to peek into what kind of person the owner or writer is," Ling Wuji said faintly, "but it is only a part of the self, just like the part of the elephant that the blind men touched in the story of the blind men and the elephant that they thought was the elephant."
“Whether you want to save the world or complete the true materialization of your soul, you need to find the Origin Stone.”
Sakuramanji was silent for a moment, clenched and released his right hand repeatedly, and finally asked: "Then, what do you need me to do?"
"Good question," Ling Wuji said, "First of all, we must make it clear that the formation of the void is definitely related to the Apocalypse virus. In other words, no matter what, the Apocalypse virus must have played a very important role in the formation of the void. So, we must first test whether you have the ability to extract the Apocalypse virus as well."
"But if he can really do that, his infection might worsen..."
Shinomiya Ayase, who was sitting in a wheelchair, said.
"Since I can even cure your legs, there is no reason why I can't cure the Apocalypse Virus. I just want to find a way to solve all problems once and for all."
Ling Wuji just spoke absentmindedly.
Sakuraman Shu also nodded.
Then he added uncertainly: "But my right hand probably can't do it..."
"Student Ji, have you ever extracted your own void?"
Sakuramitsu Shu shook his head, and then added: "After the void is extracted from a person, he will be in a coma, and he must look into the other person's eyes to extract the void, so actually I don't know what my void is. Maybe Ya can see it. Speaking of which, it seems that Ling can also see it..."
"It's the right hand."
Ling Wuji didn't keep anyone in suspense and just spoke.
