Transmigrating over ten thousand years late, I was forced to become a mighty presence

Chapter 54: Cognitive Impairment-!

imagine this, opening your door in the middle of the night to be met face-to- face with a giant blobfish, its monstrous mouth constantly dripping with slime, and a pair of dead fish eyes staring directly at you. Anyone would find such a scene hair-raising.

Bai Xue, who had initially rush to the doorway at the promise of dinner, was so terrified by the sudden appearance of the blobfish that she puffed up all her fur and curled into a furball, trembling in the corner of the room.

The Maine Coon glared at the blobfish, growling lowly.

If it were not for Shen Yuan’s lack of reaction, it would have lunged at this blobfish – who had dared to scare its master – and shredded it to pieces long ago.

However, Shen Yuan was completely oblivious to all of this. He pointed at the

dish in the blobfish’s hand and said,

“Boss, your drool is about to land in the dish.

“Huh?”

The eerily weird ambiance was suddenly broken by the blobfish’s startled cry. It hurriedly set the dish on a nearby counter, constantly wiping the slime that dripped from its mouth.

“I’m so sorry, really sorry.”

The blobfish bowed repeatedly to Shen Yuan and explained,

“Recently, I’ve been involuntarily drooling every night. I went on QianDu (a search engine) to check, and it says that I have Down syndrome.

I tried asking about it on forums, but everyone said this condition didn’t need to be treated. Many influencers also had similar symptoms, and they suggested that I should pay attention to my diet and watch fewer short videos.

I followed their advice recently, but there hasn’t been any improvement. I still

drool unconsciously at night.”

Shen Yuan was silent before asking the boss,

“Boss, do you feel your head getting heavy at night, and your vision getting

poorer?”

The blobfish’s eyes lit up. It exclaimed in surprise,

“Miracle doctor! How did you figure it out?”

As it spoke, the blobfish turned its face to the side, looking at Shen Yuan with just one of its eyes. Its face was filled with anticipation.

“Every night, I feel like my head is heavy and I have difficulty walking. Moreover, my vision gets blurry. I feel slightly better only when I tilt my head to get a side view.

Since you understand my symptoms so well, do you have any cure?”

Shen Yuan’s mouth twitched a little.

Of course, anyone would feel heavy going around with such a large fish head at night.

And the eyes of a fish are on the sides, providing a completely different field of view than humans. So, turning your head to see with one eye would indeed feel much more comfortable.

Of course, Shen Yuan could never tell this to the blobfish boss.

Initially, he wanted to refuse flat out, but seeing the boss’s hopeful expression,

Shen Yuan just agreed,

“You are just overworked. Focus on rehydration and take more cold baths. Remember to sleep early at night, and you’ll see a lot of improvement.

As for your eyes, it’s a condition called dead fish eyes, similar to night blindness. Just replenish your vitamins and you’ll get used to it.”

Upon hearing that, the blobfish boss stretched out both its hands excitedly, willing to shake Shen Yuan’s hands as a gesture of gratitude.

But Shen Yuan tactfully stepped back, avoiding its slime-coated hands.

Realizing this, the boss immediately put on an elegant yet awkward smile and apologized again,

“My bad, my bad!”

“Thanks for the medical advice, sir. I’ll waive off your accommodation and

meal charges for today.”

“Please have your meal first, I’m going downstairs to try out your methods.” After saying this, the giant blobfish excitedly ran down from the second floor. Watching the retreating figure of the blobfish boss, Shen Yuan closed the room door and didn’t touch the meal the boss had brought.

Even though the boss’s attitude and state seemed unusually normal, no one could guarantee if it was all merely a pretense.

The Maine Coon, having observed all this, couldn’t contain its curiosity any

longer. It asked Shen Yuan,

“It looks like you were not surprised by the boss’s transformation. Could it be that you already knew about his condition?”

Shen Yuan nonchalantly shook his head and said,

“I simply made a guess. Anything could happen within Yunmeng Village due to

the high concentration of Spirit Energy.”

“We had just arrived at this guesthouse this evening, and the boss already seemed unusually sleepy. His daily routine is very abnormal.

When he saw you for the first time, he was scared. Now, you are just a normal cat due to your demon technique transformation. An adult need not be so fearful.

It is highly probable that he saw your true form at some instant, or maybe he has an instinctual fear of cats.

Based on the legends about Yunmeng Village, it wasn’t hard to make an

educated guess.”

The Maine Coon nodded as if it understood half of what Shen Yuan said, and

then proceeded to say,

“I didn’t expect the monsters in the Yunmeng Village legends to not be outsiders, but the local villagers themselves.”

“Monsters?”

A hint of a smile played on Shen Yuan’s lips as he asked,

“Did you sense any demon aura on the blobfish boss?

The Maine Coon was taken aback, its eyes widening in shock.

“He doesn’t have a demon aura!”

“How can that be? He is capable of converting himself from a human to a monster shape, but he doesn’t have a hint of demon aura. That is completely abnormal.”

Shen Yuan looked at the streets of the village outside, saying in a meaningful

tone,

“Because he isn’t a monster, how could he possess demon aura?”

“Not… a monster?” The Maine Coon found its world view clashing with the scene in front of its eyes.

“Haven’t you noticed? He can maintain his consciousness at night, even surf the internet for his symptoms. Yet he’s oblivious about his transformation into a blobfish, which is completely abnormal.

The corridor on the second floor had mirrors. Normally, if he had passed by a mirror, he would have seen his transformed self. But he didn’t have any reaction.”

“Not long ago, the boss had received some local fishermen who came back from fishing In the process of receiving dinner ingredients, he didn’t mention any changes in the fishermen or hear about any fear from the fishermen regarding his change.

This indicates that becoming a fish isn’t an isolated incident in Yunmeng Village. All the villagers are suffering from a cognitive impairment, where they don’t think they’re fish.”

At this point, Shen Yuan couldn’t help but chuckle.

“No demon aura, yet having the body of a fish, even the cognition becomes blurred. This Yunmeng Village is more extraordinary than I thought.’ Shen Yuan was not fearful at all. The strange occurrence in Yunmeng Village at present was not as potentially dangerous as the Ghost Market which they had just experienced.

The blobfish boss outside seemed creepy, but essentially was just an ordinary person.

On the contrary, the more unusual Yunmeng Village was, the more likely Shen Yuan could find the secret hidden behind Yunmeng Village, thereby completing the hidden Achievement.

With these thoughts, Shen Yuan went out the room and headed downstairs. The blobfish boss wasn’t in the hall – probably trying out the so-called “cure”. Shen Yuan directly strode out of Yunmeng Quaint Abode.

Maine Coon, who comforted Bai Xue who was scared by the blobfish, followed Shen Yuan’s behind and asked,

“Sir, where are we headed?”

Walking on a quiet street, Shen Yuan’s gaze was already locked onto a large building in the east of Yunmeng Village.

“Of course, we are going to see the renowned Dragon Sovereign Temple.”
