The Heartthrob Protagonist Just Wants To Monopolize Me Chapter 140.1

A strong yet gentle power surged in, awakening the spirit in the bronze mirror – Tong Jing.

She was like a seed, taken out of the dusty abyss and placed in the moist and nourishing earth. Endless energy entered her body, and when it reached a certain critical point, she broke out and was reborn.

It was at this time that a voice descended, as if from heaven.

“Erase all his memories of the mysterious object.”

Like a ray of light piercing through the grey dome of the sky, Tong Jing instinctively accepted the light’s guidance and used her ability to erase a person’s memories.

This person’s energy was so mixed and violent that it would have been extremely difficult to erase his memory, and had it been left to Tong Jing alone, it would have taken a lot of effort and would have ended up in failure.

But this beam of light, like a divine guide, enabled Tong Jing to complete her task quickly.

As the light disappeared, Tong Jing fell into a deep sleep again, but this time, instead of sleeping in the abyss, she floated in the endless energy and only opened her eyes lazily when she had drunk her fill.

The sunlight outside the window shone in through the window pane, Tong Jing blinked and organized her memory.

Was she …… in the middle of a hospital?

A chill swept through her body and Tong Jing instinctively looked for the source, and then saw her biggest enemy in this life – Yu Ning. He was currently sitting on a chair and looking at her coldly.

A while back, when Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia went to the Quanzhuang Hotel to look for Li Yuozi who was holding the blood-red ring, they fell in Tong Jing’s schemes.

While Tong Jing had the absolute advantage, Yu Ning managed to defeat her and killed her in one fell swoop.

She was the mirror’s consciousness/spirit after the bronze mirror’s evolution. With the mirror spirit erased, the mirror became an ordinary mysterious item and became Yu Ning’s possession until a gentle power was injected into the mirror, accidentally reviving Tong Jing.

As soon as she saw Yu Ning, the horrific memories of being killed came flooding back into her mind, and Tong Jing was both terrified and angry. She stared at Yu Ning warily and was wondering how to take revenge when she heard Yu Ning say, “Are you a ghost?”

A ghost?

Who? Her?

On realizing that Yu Ning was referring to her, Tong Jing became furious: “You know that I am the most precious and unique growth type Mirror Spirit in the world, with unparalleled intelligence and upgrade space that can’t be compared with ordinary mysterious items. How can you insult me by calling me a ghost! Yu Ning, you killed me once and that’s enough, haven’t you heard that a man can be killed but not humiliated, don’t go too far!”

Tong Jing yelled in anger, and as she yelled, she took the opportunity to take two steps back, increasing the distance between her and Yu Ning.

She had no idea how long she had slept ever since Yu Ning killed her, nor did she know what had happened in the outside world.

She had died once and had barely survived, so she had to cherish this little life.

‘Other mysterious items would have foolishly rushed forward but not me, I am so far-sighted and really wise.’

Tong Jing thought to herself in her mind, and looked up to find Yu Ning still sitting in the same place, quietly watching her every move.

There seemed to be something wrong with Yu Ning at this moment, but Tong Jing could not figure out what it was.

Yu Ning seemed to digest the vast amount of information contained in Tong Jing’s words and slowly said, “It is better to kill all the suspicious and dangerous elements lurking around, than let them slip through the net.”

He spoke slowly, and his gaze was so deep that it sent chills down Tong Jing’s spine.

Tong Jing sensed Yu Ning’s killing intent and trembled all overand although she tried her best to conceal it, her voice still trembled a little: “What do you mean, you monster, psychopath, murderer! It’s obviously you who forcibly tried to erase me and take away the bronze mirror for your use, and now you’re actually slapping me back. I’m telling you, I’m an intelligent creature, I’ve already applied for an ID card, I have human rights too!”

Yu Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, “It looks like you didn’t learn your lesson as you backtracked and erased my memories.”

Tong Jing was stunned at his words, so the person whose memories she wiped when she woke up from her sleep was Yu Ning.

No wonder the process was so complicated, if it wasn’t for someone helping her, she would definitely have failed.

Thinking of this, Tong Jing was suddenly not afraid and looked at Yu Ning with a sneer. “That’s right, I accepted the order to do it. Blame it on you for offending the big man, he is so powerful that all people in the world combined are no match for him. He woke me up and then guided me to strike at you, erasing part of your memory. It is true that I cannot defeat you, but you have offended such a terrifying figure, and sooner or later you will fall to a fate worse than mine!”

When Tong Jing finished speaking, he originally thought that Yu Ning would be afraid and panicked, yet to her surprise, Yu Ning calmed down instead.

He murmured, “Sure enough, I’ve lost parts of my memory, I’ve forgotten someone, someone who is very important to me ……”

Thinking of this, Yu Ning pressed his hand to his chest, feeling his heart ache slightly.

Even though he couldn’t think of anyone, his body had instinctively reacted.

He was in pain.

He was desperately missing that person.

Tong Jing was dumbfounded at Yu Ning’s words and reacted a moment later. Yu Ning had tricked her!

Yu Ning called her a ghost and she hurriedly identified herself.

Yu Ning had called her a suspicious and dangerous element, and she hastily retorted;

Yu Ning deduced that he had lost a part of his memory based on her words. She did not know that Yu Ning was probing and foolishly confessed their past, confirming Yu Ning’s suspicions ……

Now Yu Ning knew what he should know.

He also knew what he shouldn’t know!

Tong Jing suddenly regretted opening her mouth. Humans were really the most cunning creatures, especially this monster called Yu Ning, his conscience was even worse!

Last time, Yu Ning tricked her and she died in vain. She got to live again by chance but in less than five minutes, she lost to Yu Ning again.

She was obviously smart but she was still no match for Yu Ning.

Tong Jing grew timid and the idea of retreating sprang to mind.

She couldn’t fight Yu Ning, there was no need to stay here. The world was so big, she hadn’t lived long enough!

Tong Jing was just about to turn around and flee when Yu Ning suddenly picked up the bronze mirror and consciously manipulated it.

A cold and eerie energy slowly seeped into the bronze mirror, and when Tong Jing, who was the vessel spirit, felt this energy, she hurriedly shouted, “What are you doing?!”

“Taking back my memories.” Yu Ning said.

Yu Ning had taken possession of the bronze mirror and then it had been manipulated by an unknown boss. Tong Jing thought that the power left behind by that boss would be able to fend off Yu Ning for her, but unexpectedly, that power didn’t launch an attack when Yu Ning touched it but actually fused with him!

Tong Jing: ‘?? What’s this situation, boss? I thought you had a grudge against Yu Ning and deliberately erased his memories, but why did you give the power to Yu Ning, making this monster even more powerful?’

Without the defence of the big boss’s power, Yu Ning manipulated the bronze mirror like an adult playing with a child’s toy, easily taking hold of Tong Jing’s life in his hands.

Tong Jing felt death looming over her once again. She had learned her lesson this time and without waiting for Yu Ning to strike, Tong Jing hurriedly said, “I’ll do it! I’ll give you back your memories, no need to bother yourself!”

“I don’t trust you.” Yu Ning completely ignored Tong Jing’s plea for mercy.

He had clearly lost any memories of mysterious items, but upon taking control of the bronze mirror again, it was as if he had never forgotten anything, and he quickly pulled up fragments of his memories.

Scenes from the past kept flashing in his mind and it was only after a long time that Yu Ning slowly opened his eyes.

As Tong Jing was the mirror spirit, she naturally saw Yu Ning’s memories as well.

Tong Jing’s jaw dropped in surprise on finding out that the big boss who had awakened her was actually Ji Mingxia.

‘It was actually him, how could……’

Tong Jing naturally remembered Ji Mingxia vividly. She deliberately trapped Ji Mingxia in order to break Yu Ning’s psychological defenses, and then made an illusion of Ji Mingxia dying.

Yu Ning was indeed agitated, way over the top actually.

After her defeat, Tong Jing told Yu Ning that Ji Mingxia was safe and sound, and begged Yu Ning for mercy, hoping that he would let her go, only for Yu Ning not only not to be moved in the slightest, but he even killed her on the spot without mercy.

And the reason was— even if Ji Mingxia was killed in an illusion, it wouldn’t do!

As she died, Tong Jing regretted it so much. She would have killed Ji Mingxia if she had known and died with him. Why should she let him off the hook and let the pair of dogs leave her territory safely?

But looking back now, Tong Jing suddenly realized that it wasn’t that she had let Ji Mingxia off the hook, but that her subconscious had sensed that Ji Mingxia was a more dangerous being than Yu Ning, so she avoided him and went to deal with the monster Yu Ning rather than wake up the “sleeping” Ji Mingxia.

At this thought, Tong Jing was suddenly scared and a little bit curious.

Ji Mingxia had manipulated her and erased all of Yu Ning’s memories of him and mysterious items.

So where was Ji Mingxia now?

Could it be that he had turned into a big shot and then dumped Yu Ning?

Tong Jing thought maliciously and grew happier on seeing Yu Ning distraught after recovering his memories.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a knock, and several medical staff making rounds pushed the door open and walked in.

“Good morning, Yu Ning. How are you feeling today?”

Yu Ning looked at them without speaking and the medical staff did not care and continued, “Your body is recovering well, but the after-effects caused by the car accident are still there. It is normal to experience hallucinations, as well as memory loss. In this case, we still recommend that you continue your treatment in the hospital, this is the director of psychiatry at our hospital, you can have a chat, you might get something out of it…”

The medical staff said, flanking a middle-aged doctor as he walked up.

Tong Jing was a mirror spirit that had just awakened and could not be seen by anyone except Yu Ning.

She looked at the medical staff with pity when she heard them say words like “car accident” and “director of psychiatry” to Yu Ning.

This group of people were taking Yu Ning for a fool.

Ji Mingxia had only let her do something to Yu Ning’s memories, everyone else’s memories were still there, and everyone knew how Yu Ning had lost his memories. It was fine if they didn’t tell him the truth, but this subtext meant that Yu Ning had a mental illness!

At this moment, this psychiatric director came to talk to Yu Ning, not for the purpose of treatment, but to convince Yu Ning that he was ill and to brainwash him.

It would have been fine if Yu Ning was still in a state of amnesia, but he had completely recovered his memory.

According to how narrow-minded this monster was, he would probably start a killing spree at any moment.

Thinking of this, Tong Jing found a corner to huddle in, ready to watch the show. But to her surprise, she saw Yu Ning cooperating and walking up to the director, and the two of them exchanged words like a normal doctor and patient.

The devil that was sinister and morose in front of her was now very well-behaved. He followed the doctor’s advice obediently, and even got up to personally send the medical staff off.

Tong Jing stared at Yu Ning with wide, incredulous eyes. But when the ward door closed and Yu Ning turned his head to look at her, he had returned to his grim and cold self.

Tong Jing: “……”

She wanted to curse.

However, she was facing Yu Ning, who could take her little life at any time, and had also once killed her. She immediately made herself humble even though she was cursing him in her heart.

Yu Ning picked up the bronze mirror and examined it, and Tong Jing got a vague sense of foreboding. She endured for a while but still could not help but say, “What are you looking at?”

“Mingxia didn’t know that you were an evolved mysterious item.” Yu Ning said.

Ji Mingxia’s ear canal had become inflamed when they were at Quanzhuang hotel, which must have been a sign of awakening at the time, but because he had just awakened and his senses were not yet sharp, he did not notice Tong Jing’s true nature.

Yu Ning went on a killing spree behind Ji Mingxia’s back and killed Tong Jing on the spot. He did not inform Ji Mingxia of this afterwards, only saying that the bronze mirror was an ordinary mysterious item.

The mirror spirit had died and the bronze mirror had degenerated, so Ji Mingxia did not have any suspicions.

It was not until Ji Mingxia was dying that he took the initiative to use the bronze mirror in order to make Yu Ning forget about him.

A large amount of energy poured in and revived Tong Jing, the mirror spirit.

Ji Mingxia wanted Yu Ning to forget everything and start a new life, yet in the end, he left Yu Ning with a hope.

The hope of finding Ji Mingxia.

“You have the ability to evolve, and when an ability is cultivated to its peak, it will mutate. The mysterious items in this world have all crossed over to another world, so the peak of your evolution must also be opening space and travelling to another world.” Yu Ning said, looking at Tong Jing.

It was as if there were flames burning in the depths of his dark eyes.

Tong Jing was frightened by the obsession in Yu Ning’s eyes and stammered, “Opening space and travelling to another world …… that’s too hard for me ……”

Upon seeing Yu Ning develop a gloomy look expression, Tong Jing hastily added: “Besides, the evolution of mysterious items relies on devouring each other’s energy to evolve, and now that Ji Mingxia has taken all the mysterious items in the entire world, I am the only one left. Even if I wanted to help you, I still have no power to do so.”

“Mysterious items were taken away, but the people are all still there.” Yu Ning said.

“People?” Tong Jing froze.

Yu Ning said, “Everyone who harnessed mysterious items is at risk of being contaminated, because part of the energy inside their bodies gets replaced with that of mysterious items. I can use the energy left inside these people’s bodies.”

Tong Jing was rendered speechless.

Can that work?

Well, when you think about it, it seems feasible…

It would be a waste to leave this energy in their bodies. If she was to absorb the energy, it could indeed promote her growth.

Tong Jing had always wanted to evolve but she was not happy about evolving just to serve Yu Ning.
