Seeing that her boss didn't look too good, Wang Lulu wisely didn't ask any more questions until the boss left, at which point she mumbled something.

"Hmph, that's fine, I'll just go home and play Fantasy New World."

The cameraman was the most frustrated. He had just packed his gear and driven out when he was told he didn't need to go anymore. He had to carry everything out piece by piece and then drive the car back.

There's no need to go to the TV station, but some departments are rushing to the hospital as fast as they can.

Li Liwen led his men to the First People's Hospital of Qiantang.

As the leader of the fifth special operations team, he had been away from headquarters for several months. He Zhongze was in charge of things in Kyoto. Fortunately, transportation and communication were convenient and advanced, so it was easy to contact each other.

In particular, the use of virtual reality technology by Lingxing Games has enabled people to communicate virtually even when they are thousands of miles apart.

As a key national high-tech company, it has designed private meeting and training spaces specifically for government agencies and the military.

If the fifth special operations team needs to hold a meeting, even if not all members are present, they can all wear gaming helmets and sit together at the conference table in virtual space.

This time too.

A group of people were having a virtual meeting to summarize their work over the past period and to assign teams to patrol various parts of the country.

As a result, the helmet alerted him to a real-world emergency, forcing Li Liwen to log off immediately, which led him to learn about the situation at the First People's Hospital.

In the car, Li Liwen, sitting in the passenger seat, smoked a cigarette and watched the scenery rushing past.

The hospital has confirmed that the medical supplies are of good quality and there is no possibility that there are flammable materials present, so the problem must lie with the baby.

Driven by selfish considerations of national interest, Li Liwen did not consult Hong Quan this time, but instead led his men to the hospital to "protect" the baby.

If he truly is a legendary "psychic" awakener, then he's hit the jackpot.

According to the information currently available, it has become very difficult for humans to produce psionic awakeners since the last major devastation. Most of them are concentrated among the descendants of the major supernatural forces. If a few occasionally appear outside, they will be found and nurtured by these forces.

Li Liwen could understand this. It's better to clench your fists and put your strength into them. Moreover, without "formal education," a single "superman" who is out in the world can easily lose control of his mindset.

If one is not good, one will turn bad and use one's abilities to do whatever one wants.

Reality isn't like movies or comics. It's impossible for ordinary people to gain power and then always think about upholding justice. When you find that you can easily knock someone away with a flick of your wrist, will you still respect those "weak" people after a while?

This ability is especially evident in children who lack basic social awareness.

Thinking back to my childhood in the countryside, I would want to kill any snake I saw, pour urine into any ant nest I saw, and kill or catch any frogs to play with. I didn't care about compassion or anything like that.

While his thoughts were still wandering, the car was already close to the hospital, and Li Liwen snapped back to reality and got ready.

"Organize your equipment, but don't put on your heat-resistant gloves yet."

The car stopped at the entrance of the inpatient department.

"Jin Yefeng went to the hospital's archives and laboratory. I need to know whether that baby is human or not."

"yes!"

"Sun Cheng, take some men and keep watch. Plainclothes officers will assist you in a bit. Report any suspicious individuals at the entrance to the inpatient department immediately, and try to keep watch as much as possible."

"yes!"

"Wang Peng and I went to the baby incubator."

"action!"

...

Because the baby's clothes were charred twice within the next hour and a half, the baby has now been placed in an incubator completely naked.

When Li Liwen arrived, the baby's father, Mao Runbing, along with Liu Feng, a member of the Fifth Special Operations Team who had arrived earlier, and a doctor surnamed Zhao, were chatting outside the sterile incubator.

Upon meeting the team leader, Liu Feng stood up, introduced himself, and then gave a brief report on the situation.

After being disinfected in the sterilization room and changing into white coats, Li Liwen and the others went into the incubation room together and saw the "fire child".

The baby was curled up in the incubator, with two pieces of non-flammable insulation material underneath, and was sleeping peacefully.

"How is the child's health?"

"Everything was normal, even stronger and healthier than other babies, but the cause of the fire is unknown."

"Won't he burn himself?"

"No, it wasn't really burning, because the cotton cloth was just charred, it didn't catch fire."

Li Liwen is currently struggling with a small problem.

How can we determine whether this child has awakened "spiritual abilities"? We can't very well ask Hong Quan for help, can we? If they want to raise this child, should we give him or not?

For now, we can only use the old-fashioned method and wait for it to "spontaneously combust".

I put a few small pieces of cloth, about the size of a fingernail, inside the incubator so that it would extinguish itself immediately if it caught fire.

Such a small baby drinks very little milk each time, and consequently gets hungry very quickly.

This insulated room was specially set aside, and there was only one insulated box inside. Before the group had even waited an hour, the child started crying and fussing, clearly hungry.

The doctor next to him quickly prepared the appropriate amount of formula and wanted to feed it to the baby, but Li Liwen stopped him.

"Wait a minute."

The child's father wanted to speak but then remembered what they had talked about earlier, so he could only wait patiently.

The baby in the incubator, deprived of milk, has escalated from babbling to wailing.

Why isn't it burning yet? As Li Liwen was pondering this question, he saw the few pieces of cloth underneath begin to turn black at a visible speed.

A burnt cotton smell wafted out, and within seconds, all the scraps of cloth were "burned" to ashes.

Li Liwen put on heat-resistant gloves and reached in to take out a few pieces of ash for a closer look.

"Let's breastfeed."

The doctor quickly put the prepared small bottle into the child's mouth.

On the other side, Jin Yefeng had already reached a conclusion: the baby was undoubtedly human and was a direct blood relative of Sun Xiaoya and Mao Runbing.

After appealing to their emotions and reasoning with them, the fifth-category special agents obtained permission from the baby's parents to "help" them observe the baby and seek "treatment" methods.

The child was then sent to a private hospital where his parents could call at any time to inquire about his condition or visit him regularly.

They requested confidentiality from all parties, citing the need to prevent any impact on the child's future.

Wu You was unaware of the "fire child" incident, but he kept a close eye on Li Liwen and the others. By the time Li Liwen arrived at the hospital and learned about it, Wu You was already aware of it as well.

The appearance of the "fire child" was not too unexpected, but it was just unexpected that it would happen so soon.

Similarly, if other animals in the world were to be able to utilize "evolutionary energy," the first example should be the Qiantang River, which has the highest energy concentration.

This was only discovered because it was related to fire. If it were water, it would probably be mistaken for bedwetting. Some people might have weak abilities that are not yet apparent.

I don't know if other animals would have this problem.

Interestingly, perhaps because the "evolutionary energy" originated from an ancient tree, the "fire child" always seemed to have a friendly attitude towards Wu You's mental attacks.
