On the very morning that Qin Tan was preparing to infiltrate the underground laboratory, Gan Pengpeng appeared again as the messenger.

"The leader of Tianchi said he would host a welcome banquet for you, and coincidentally, the Grand Leader has also returned."

"Please don't refuse!"

Gan Pengpeng put his arm around Xi Yang's neck: "Why are you always so timid? Wait for your big brother to take you to see the world."

With an older brother now added to his list, Xi Yang could only nod through his tears.

Out of kindness from the base, they couldn't refuse and ultimately attended in full regalia.

Qin Tan, dressed in a black dress, was like a rose in the dark night—beautiful yet thorny.

The banquet was held in the reception hall of the government center, where the marble floor was smooth and shiny.

Some people danced to the music.

The aroma of the food tantalized the taste buds, and the hospitality at this banquet was quite generous.

Qin Tan also met the chief.

Surprisingly, the leader appeared to be a rather frail woman, less than 1.5 meters tall, dressed in a princess dress, and looked like an adult loli.

Her smile was sweet, with an innocent purity that made it impossible for anyone to harbor any ill will towards her.

There's even a hint of protectiveness.

Qin Tan noticed the admiration and pity in the eyes of the men looking at each other.

There is a kind of courage that would lead them to rush forward and protect each other should anything happen.

Yu Chenxi, that's her name.

And she possesses a beauty that matches her name.

Qin Tan leaned against the wall, looking at the men surrounding Yu Chenxi with a lazy gaze, seemingly lost in thought.

Over a casual glance, Qin Tan noticed that the other person was observing her.

She raised her glass and smiled at the other person, and then saw the doll-like figure lift her skirt and walk up to her.

"You must be Qin Tan, right? It's a pleasure to meet you."

"I hope we can become friends."

Qin Tan had met many enthusiastic people, but it was truly rare to find someone who wanted to be friends with her on the first meeting.

Qin Tan shook hands with the other party.

Her fingers touched the other person's palm; the soft, tender touch could only be described as delicate and boneless.

She was like the most exquisite creation of God, with no part of her being an exception.

A faint fragrance lingered in the air, and Qin Tan, smelling this natural body scent, said softly, "I am also very happy to meet Chief Yu."

Upon hearing this, Qin Tan raised her eyebrows slightly.

If I heard correctly, her voice was much softer, as if she was afraid of startling the other person.

A fragile doll.

Qin Tan added a qualifier to the other person's description.

"Chief Yu, over here, over here..."

Someone called out from afar, and Yu Chenxi smiled apologetically at Qin Tan before walking over.

It seemed like she came here just to say hello to Qin Tan.

Qin Tan swirled the liquid in the glass, her eyes thoughtful.

"Did you notice?"

Beside Qin Tan, Fan Zhi, dressed in a suit, spoke in a low voice, his eyes filled with a subtle sense of apprehension as he looked at Yu Chenxi.

His ability, Sunfire, grants him extremely high resistance to various bizarre conditions.

Once triggered, one will be fully awakened.

Just now, when Yu Chenxi passed by him, the Sunfire danced wildly, a state of frenzy rarely seen.

Even with such strong reminders from Riyan, he couldn't muster any wariness towards Yu Chenxi.

This alone is enough to prove Yu Chenxi's special and dangerous nature.

"It should be mental ability."

Qin Tan responded by covering her parted lips with her wine glass.

This ability can influence how those around Yu Chenxi perceive her, and that perception is benevolent, even protective.

Moreover, this ability is not limited to either men or women.

It was supposed to be a banquet for Qin Tan and others, but from the moment Yu Chenxi first met her, she became the sole protagonist.

She doesn't seem to care about this kind of attention.

As Fan thought, this feeling of being unable to control one's emotions is indeed dangerous.

What Qin Tan was worried about was that the other party was not actively releasing their ability; this ability was more like a passive "charm" that would have an effect as long as there was contact.

Qin Tan doesn't yet know whether this effect can be eliminated.

It's only natural that someone with such abilities would sit in the top position.

Natural charisma, a natural leader.

When do we take action?

Fan Zhi dared not look at Yu Chenxi anymore; his gaze fell on Qin Tan's cheek.

Looking at Qin Tan's face, which seemed calm and composed at all times, Fan Zhi unexpectedly regained his self-control.

"Now."

Qin Tan moved the wine cup toward the direction of Tianchi.

Old Ge was talking to the other person beside him. Tianchi listened intently and didn't notice his surroundings.

It was Elder Ge who took the initiative to help them attract Tianchi's attention today.

Following Elder Ge, there were Xia Shuang and others.

They will ensure that for a long time, Tianchi will be unable to notice Qin Tan's existence.

Here, the atmosphere is bustling with activity, filled with singing and dancing.

Furthermore, Yu Chenxi is attracting everyone's attention, which is a rare opportunity.

She gestured to Fan Zhi and walked out of the banquet hall without alerting anyone.

The two still had a faint smell of alcohol on them.

Qin Tan, wearing high heels, walked without making a sound.

"Where is the princess?"

Fan Zhi asked curiously. Normally, the princess and Qin Tan were inseparable.

"She's there."

A faint golden light flickered in Qin Tan's eyes.

The princess and she were in a state of resonance, and it always was.

Having understood, Fan Zhi didn't ask any more questions.

The guards on this floor were very lax, and after bypassing them, they came to a space filled with miscellaneous items.

Inside was an iron cabinet containing cleaning tools.

After removing the contents, Qin Tan tapped the metal sheet, and the sound changed, revealing that the back was hollow.

Uncovering the opening, a secret passage appeared before the two.

This was also thanks to Mr. Ge's help.

His ability allows him to alter the very nature of matter; cement and metal are essentially the same to him.

To avoid being discovered, the place will be restored to its original state after they enter the passage.

"Hello, hello, hello, can you hear me?"

Xi Yang's voice echoed in Qin Tan's mind, as did Fan Zhi's.

Xi Yang is using his brain network to contact the two of them. As long as they can maintain communication, they can make adjustments based on the situation described above.

"able."

Qin Tan responded in her mind.

This form of brainwave communication is normally prohibited.

No superhuman would casually allow the abilities of another superhuman to invade their body, let alone their most important brain.

"Okay, everything is fine here, you can proceed with your plans without worry."

"That plan that they didn't tell me about."

Xi Yang couldn't help but make a comment.

Using him like a public phone without telling him the truth—isn't that just using him as a tool?

They don't include him in their games.

"Isn't this because I'm worried about your safety?" Fan Zhi kindly explained, but Xi Yang chuckled a few times, not believing a single word.
