The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 139.3

Note: This is part 2 of chapter 139 according to raws!!

“Although he mobilized special people to round up and collect the mysterious items, it was unfortunate that his efforts were not enough and he died tragically.” Pei Yuan added.

“Although the plan was not completely executed, mysterious items in the entire world stopped functioning after his death and there was peace for almost fifty years.  Only a few mysterious items remained active and humans gained the upper hand. My ancestor left behind a daughter who gave birth to twelve children and the Pei family gradually expanded. Unfortunately, mysterious items started showing signs of revival with the passage of time. I’m the only one left in my generation, so the main Pei family have no one left to continue the legacy. The heir will probably come from a side branch of the Pei family…”

Pei Yuan then made a slight pause.

Ji Mingxia looked at him suspiciously and Pei Yuan continued in a low voice: “You also know that person, it’s Ke Chengxuan.”

Ke Chengxuan?

The last time Ji Mingxia saw Ke Chengxuan was at the basketball court, after which Ke Chengxuan disappeared and Ji Mingxia never saw him again.

If it was before, Ji Mingxia would have cared a little about the original Ji Mingxia’s official partner, but after meeting him, it was better to only know him as some famous star.

When he came out of the hotel, Yu Ning was suddenly in pain and Ji Mingxia’s whole heart and soul were on Yu Ning, he forgot about Ke Chengxuan and never expected to hear his name from Pei Yuan’s mouth.

In the novel, Pei Yuan and Yu Ning were a pair, and the original Ji Mingxia and Ke Chengxuan were a pair.

Ji Mingxia  thought that the original Ji Mingxia was just an ordinary love mentor, but it turned out that all the named characters were in a vicious circle that they could not escape from.

He remembered what Ke Chengxuan had said, that he was born with precognitive abilities, and asked, “So that’s why your family has special abilities?”

“Yes.” Pei Yuan said, “My ancestor is the strongest existence among the recorded people with special abilities, followed by his daughter, who is my great great grandmother. The bloodline gradually thinned out as generations passed and the Pei family’s ability also gradually degraded. By the time I was born, the Pei family was no longer powerful and they suffered the backlash of mysterious items. In the end, I was the only one left. Although my abilities are among the best in the country, the difference is like heaven and earth when compared to my ancestors’ clouds.”

The destruction of the Pei family, and Pei Yuan’s early childhood were clearly recorded in the novel and Ji Mingxia remembered all the contents.

What he didn’t expect was that behind all of this was the secret of transmigration.

A chill inexplicably rose in Ji Mingxia’s heart, and his sense of awe for this world deepened.

Although it was a world within a book, this world seemed to have self-awareness, whether it was the mysterious items or for sudden intruders like Ji Mingxia, it kept making invisible corrections.

During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the mysterious items rioted. Pei Yuan’s ancestor appeared and organized capable people to fight against the mysterious items. However, such an unbelievable being, failed in his efforts and died tragically.

After his death, mysterious items remained dormant for decades. As the world became more and more chaotic in recent years, Ji Mingxia was ushered in.

Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia lowered his head and looked at his body.

Pei Yuan said, “The Pei family is in decline, without the ability to completely conquer the mysterious items, the country can only put its hopes on the Institute, hoping to recreate another Pei family ancestor.”

Ji Mingxia immediately raised his head and said in a cold voice, “So you took Yu Ning and made experiments on him?”

At the mention of this matter, a nameless anger was ignited in Ji Mingxia’s heart and even looked at Pei Yuan with hostility.

Pei Yuan became wary when he saw Ji Mingxia’s cold and stern expression, even the bronze bell around his waist trembled even more, looking like it might even break at any minute.

Perhaps Ji Mingxia didn’t even realise that he was no longer an ordinary person now.

Just his anger made Pei Yuan’s heart a little chilled.

This was someone who could make mysterious items all over the world submissive. From a certain perspective, Ji Mingxia was like a large mysterious item.

A copper coin or a hairpin could trigger a terrifying supernatural event, let alone a living human being.

Although Pei Yuan was frightened, he was a determined man after all. He eventually met the pressure of Ji Mingxia’s gaze and replied, “Yu Ning, himself, is a product of an experiment.”

Seeing Ji Mingxia’s turn gloomy, Pei Yuan hurriedly continued, “You have already met the Ding couple, can’t you guess what they are doing?”

Ji Mingxia was stunned, “What do you mean?”

“Mysterious items are a danger to the entire world, and although they didn’t affect ordinary people for the time being, more and more mysterious items are getting activated and the world will be destroyed sooner or later. The Institute was set up by the state, and there are many other private institutions aside from it that do it for profit, or to save themselves, or to save the world.” Pei Yuan said, “It is not only the Institute that does experiments, like the Ding family, there are many people who experiment on themselves, or even their own children.”

Ji Mingxia instantly recalled what the Ding couple said when they came to ask Yu Ning to save Ding Jialin.

They said that Ding Jialin was more talented than Yu Ning, and that they had put decades of effort into Ding Jialin so they couldn’t let him die like that.

They also said that the burden on Ding Jialin’s shoulders was heavier than anyone could imagine.

So, was this what they actually meant?

They gave birth to two children with special physiques, the gifted one was kept around and nurtured, while the slightly less gifted one was left outside and secretly observed.

So, over the years, Ding Jialin deliberately gave ordinary people mysterious items, then recycled them, all this was just to exercise his abilities.

Once he succeeded in his experiment, he would be able to save the world.

With that kind of thinking, the Ding family did so many evil deeds without the slightest guilt.

For as far as they were concerned, they were just sacrificing a small group of people to redeem many more.

It turned out that this was the truth of it all.

Seeing Ji Mingxia fall into thought, Pei Yuan slowly said, “The more frequent the mysterious items riot, the more danger the world is in and it is also the more people like Yu Ning will exist. He is not the first experimental subject nor will he be the last.”

Ji Mingxia only felt a stabbing pain in his heart: “What can I do?”

Pei Yuan had waited for a long time before finally hearing the words he wanted from Ji Mingxia.

And the whole process was far smoother than he had imagined.

However, he did not have the excitement and joy he had imagined when he reached his goal.

Pei Yuan said, “Absorb all the mysterious items into your body, and use it to imprison them forever.”

Ordinary people would die upon touching mysterious items.

An able person like Pei Yuan could only take in around ten of them at most.

Yu Ning, as someone born to take in mysterious items, started mutating after absorbing a few dozen pieces so far, and would die at any minute.

Ji Mingxia, on the other hand, had to absorb at least hundreds of thousands of pieces.

One hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Pei family formulated this plan.

Everything went well smoothly at first but when the number passed one hundred thousand, he started feeling endless pain.

By the mid stages, the ancestor of the Pei family was rolling on the ground in pain and wailing in agony.

Millions of mysterious items surrounded him and whether unconscious or awake, the Pei family ancestor tried his best to absorb them. He had reached to the tune of over 800,000 pieces when he eventually died of pain.

After his death, his body exploded and the mysterious items that were originally absorbed into his body flew out and were scattered all over the place.

Fortunately, those mysterious items had basically fallen into a deep sleep, and even if they were obtained by someone with a special physique, it would be difficult to re-invigorate and to reawaken them.

This was the fundamental reason why the world had been peaceful over the years.

However, the ancestor of the Pei family did not take in all the mysterious items after all, and mysterious items often devoured each other.

In the process, the originally dormant mysterious items gradually awakened, and together with the original remnants, the mysterious items around the world started causing supernatural incidents.

When Ji Mingxia came to this world, it was as if the world had pressed the fast-forward button, and the number of supernatural incidents that occurred in just six months was far greater than ever before.

It could be said that if Ji Mingxia did not agree to take in the mysterious items, then the country would find a way to eradicate him.

After all, his existence was already a huge threat.

After informing Ji Mingxia of the method, he observed Ji Mingxia’s reaction.

To his surprise, Ji Mingxia was extremely calm.

“Okay.” Ji Mingxia said, then he turned around and left.

With his own experience and what was in the novel, he knew there were no loopholes in Pei Yuan’s words.

What mattered most was Yu Ning’s safety and what would happen to him over time.

Now that the truth was spread out before his eyes, only he had the power to change everything.

Based on the experience of Pei Yuan’s ancestor, he would be able to make the world a better place whether he succeeded or not.

So there was no reason for him to refuse.

Pei Yuan watched him walk away and could not help but shout, “Mingxia!”

Ji Mingxia turned and looked back at him.

Pei Yuan said, “On behalf of everyone, I thank you.”

Ji Mingxia looked at him calmly, then turned around and walked away without saying anything.

As Ji Mingxia walked away, Pei Yuan took out his mobile phone and called the headquarters.

“Ji Mingxia is the source of all this, he promised to implement the ancestor’s plan, the exact time of implementation is three days later.”

By the time he finished his call, Ji Mingxia’s figure had already disappeared into the dense forest, while the bronze bell at his waist gradually calmed down and stopped making sounds.

Pei Yuan looked at the direction where Ji Mingxia had disappeared and slowly withdrew his gaze.

One hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Pei family formulated this plan, but unfortunately, it did not succeed.

Today, he delivered this plan to a freshman.

He was not yet twenty years old, with a young and tender face, much younger than the Pei family ancestor’s at the time ……

——————-

Yu Ning was still unconscious by the time Ji Mingxia returned to his side.

Yu Ning looked hideous and terrifying after the mutation, his body was full of dense wounds and ordinary people could have nightmares just by looking at it.

Ji Mingxia sat down beside Yu Ning, he stretched out his hand, his fingers gently stroking over Yu Ning’s skin.

In the past, Yu Ning would have woken up long ago, but at this moment, he was still lying unconscious, completely devoid of his former vitality.

Pei Yuan said that there were dozens of mysterious items in Yu Ning’s body, their rampaging was directly causing him to become like this.

Although Pei Yuan’s ancestor and Ji Mingxia were of the same kind, Pei Yuan was not. He only had a little understanding on the matter of absorbing the mysterious items, so Ji Mingxia needed to figure it out on his own.

Ji Mingxia’s fingers rested on Yu Ning’s body, and he closed his eyes, carefully feeling and searching for the mysterious items.

In the darkness, countless stars fell into Ji Mingxia’s hand and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ji Mingxia froze and snapped his eyes open. He then saw a mysterious item in the shape of a button fly out of Yu Ning’s body and into his palm, and instantly fusing with him.

“It’s that simple!” Ji Mingxia said in shock.

He absorbed a mysterious item just like that and didn’t even feel anything. It was like a piece of fluff had fallen onto his hands, and if not for his eyes, he wouldn’t have noticed it.

He trembled slightly when he recalled the scene of the stars falling when he closed his eyes earlier.

The scene was very familiar, he had seen it sometime back.

If he remembered correctly, it was at Grandma Ji’s house when he and Yu Ning slept apart for the first time. He dreamt of a sky full of stars converging towards him.

But just as the stars were about to reach him, Yu Ning woke him up.

At that time, he did not think much about it, but looking back now…… did Yu Ning already know his identity at that time?

And the second time he saw the stars was just a few days ago.

He had just started dreaming, but before the stars could fall, Yu Ning at his side had a seizure and became how he was now.

Ji Mingxia had been unable to figure out what triggered Yu Ning’s mutation, and he never thought that the result would be like this!

Ji Mingxia suppressed the emotions in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and then directly placed his palm on Yu Ning’s body.

With the first experience, the second attempt went very smoothly.

Ji Mingxia could clearly sense that there were dozens of light spots in Yu Ning’s body.

When Ji Mingxia’s hand went over them, those dozens of light spots rushed towards Ji Mingxia almost impatiently.

Previously, Ji Mingxia had not understood why these mysterious items would actively approach him and submit themselves to him, but he now figured it out.

Perhaps like him, these mysterious items came from another world.

They moved from one space to another, engulfed in the energy from another world. This energy collided with this world’s space, eventually forming a special magnetic field.

Just a button or ring could have such tremendous energy, not to mention a large living person like him.

Because mysterious items had the tendency to devour each other, they were unconsciously drawn to Ji Mingxia as soon as he appeared.

It wasn’t that they liked Ji Mingxia, but they instinctively approached him and wanted to devour him.

Just like a small fish taking the initiative to approach a whale and eventually becoming the whale’s meal.  At this moment, Ji Mingxia was like a whale that could devour dozens of small fish the size of rice grains. They weren’t enough to even stuff his teeth, so he didn’t even feel it when he absorbed them.
