Zhang Zhiwen was silent for a moment. Then, he lifted his head and looked at the policewoman. “I don’t know either.”

The policewoman frowned and asked, “Are you sure?”

Wei Huo reminded him in his mind, “You can say that you vaguely feel like someone saved you. That’s what the female driver next door said.”

Zhang Zhiwen immediately said, “I have a feeling that someone saved me, but I don’t know who it was.”

The policewoman was confused. Clearly, she had heard two similar statements.

She asked, “Do you remember anything about that person?”

Wei Huo advised him in his mind, “Just say that you think it was a man and that he was very strong. If you say the same thing as the female driver next door, she won’t suspect you.”

Zhang Zhiwen said, “It should have been a man. He was very strong, but I don’t remember anything else.”

The policewoman nodded. Her attitude had improved a lot. Perhaps she was used to interrogating prisoners, which was why she had that expression. However, after the interrogation, her expression softened a lot. She said, “You should recuperate for the time being. We will inform you if anything happens. My surname is Yang. You can call me Officer Yang. We might meet again in the future.”

After saying that, Officer Yang walked out of the ward. Seven to eight minutes later, Zhang Zhiwen’s parents walked into the ward with tears in their eyes.

Wei Huo did not stay in the ward any longer. He left the ward with the policewoman and saw her find the attending doctor.

“Doctor, how are their injuries?”

The attending doctor shook his head. “I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. The girl is fine, but the boy is really weird. He clearly bled very much, but there are no injuries on his body. His organs are also intact, and there are no fractures. His various body vitals are normal. Even the blood concentration in his body is the same as a normal person’s.”

The female police officer asked, “Is the blood on his body his?”

The attending doctor said, “I’m not sure about that. However, I’ve taken a sample. You can ask your forensic doctor to verify it. We’ll charge a fee for the DNA test.”

The policewoman frowned. She knew that this was a rule. It was already very kind of the other party to take a sample for her. She nodded and said, “I understand. Thank you, doctor.”

After saying that, the policewoman left the hospital. Wei Huo watched her leave and thought to himself, This blood sample seems a little troublesome. However, I can’t influence the blood. At most, I can only alter the policewoman’s memories and thoughts.

Wei Huo’s mental strength spread out and changed the policewoman’s memory. However, this was just a hypnosis cue. It only made her feel that this was normal. There was nothing weird about it. It made her not feel suspicious.

Wei Huo then returned to the ward. Zhang Zhiwen was about to get out of bed. The hospital said that his body was fine, so he could be discharged. At most, he had suffered quite a shock.

Due to various reasons, the doctor had not told the truth to the patients and their relatives. There was something fishy about this matter, and he could not explain it clearly. Therefore, the best solution was not to explain it. No problems meant no problems. There was no need to say too much. He could just be discharged. If there were any problems, he could be admitted for observation.

Zhang Zhiwen was discharged from the hospital just like that. He did not see the female driver who had bumped into him. However, the female driver’s condition was a little worse than his. She might be hospitalized for some time.

It was Saturday, and it was the Qingming Festival holiday. That was why he went home. He would have to return to school on Sunday. However, he could take a leave of absence because of the car accident. Zhang Zhiwen did indeed plan to take a leave of absence. He needed some time to sort out his current situation, but a sudden piece of good news disrupted his plan.

His medium-length novel ‘The Old People Born In the 90s’ had finally caught the eye of a publishing house in C City. The other party planned to discuss the transfer of the copyright with him, so he had no choice but to leave for C City ahead of time. He also went to school in C City, so Zhang Zhiwen would not take a leave after all. He planned to return to school early and discuss the publishing matter with the publisher.

Wei Huo said, “Congratulations on surviving this calamity. Your luck has turned.”

Zhang Zhiwen was confused. “Is that true?”

Wei Huo did not answer. He was currently researching something.

Although Wei Huo’s spirit could not affect inanimate objects, it could affect living bodies. When Zhang Zhiwen had contact with others, Wei Huo’s mental strength would extend. Once the person attached to his mental strength came into contact with someone, Wei Huo’s mental strength would spread again.

Under the circumstances, Wei Huo’s mental strength would spread across the world sooner or later. Then, everyone around the world would be his eyes and ears, and they would all be under his control.

However, Wei Huo did not plan on doing that. He was not interested in such behavior, but he was curious about the world.

Our world is a fantasy world. What about this world?

That was indeed something worth investigating. However, Wei Huo had to figure out what the fantasy world in Zhang Zhiwen’s mind was like. At the same time, he wanted to know if everyone had a fantasy world in their minds or if only the creator of the story had one.

Establishing contact with the book’s author was good news. Through the author, Wei Huo could extend his spirit and find other authors to study their brains and imagination.

However, as Wei Huo was deep in thought, Zhang Zhiwen suddenly said, “I realized something, Wei Huo. If you can change my metabolism, accelerate the rapid secretion of my body, and even change my body temperature, can you change my genes?”

Wei Huo replied, “Of course.”

He understood what Zhang Zhiwen wanted to do. He wanted to become Superboy. Indeed, Wei Huo could help him change his genes, make him smarter and stronger, and give him a longer lifespan. However, this was only a physical change. This change would at most give him a lifespan of 100 to 200 years and a physique two to three times stronger than an ordinary person’s.

Wei Huo did not think that this would change anything.

However, Zhang Zhiwen did not agree. He only insisted on writing to obtain strong powers in reality or offload his emotions through writing. Besides, he did not know when he had become greedier for fame and wealth. He had even forgotten his original intention. However, a rare opportunity was right in front of him.

At that moment, a piece of news appeared on Zhang Zhiwen’s phone. It was a news article about C City. The title was: “There was a man-eating incident in C City. The tragic state of the dead gave countless people the creeps!”

At that moment, Wei Huo said, “I don’t know anything about biological genes in this world. If you want to obtain the genes of a certain creature, you have to eat it raw. For example, if you want to obtain the genes of a fish, you have to eat a live fish raw. If you want to obtain the genes of a bear, you have to eat a portion of raw bear meat.”

Zhang Zhiwen had already read the news about eating humans, but Wei Huo’s words made him feel disgusted.

Wei Huo smiled and said, “Of course, you should learn some biology. Find a biological gene bank built by the government. That way, you won’t have to eat other animals raw.”
