From the perspective of the submissive (Shou): Xiao Shengyun is an office worker, and also an ordinary non-human. As for how he was raised as a human, you'll have to ask his unreliable parents....
Chapter 64
Although Qin Nian was looking for Si Shi, Xiao Shengyun did not allow them to meet.
These words are only Qin Nian's side of the story, and Qin Nian's and Si Shi's positions are still unclear.
The polluters have also formed many organizations on their own. Even if Qin Nian doesn't help the hotel's owner, he is very likely to join other organizations instead of completely siding with the Action Department.
As long as this person is not found, Qin Nian can be used by him temporarily.
Although Xiao Shengyun did not fully understand humans, he knew very well that the most powerful thing about this species was not its strength, but its intelligence.
Qin Nian's mental state is currently very poor, like an unstable bomb. In the next two days, he needs to use this bomb to find as much information as possible, and even better, destroy the people behind the Hope Hotel.
“Go back and rest first. If I manage to get back alive, I will do everything I can,” Xiao Shengyun said. He had now mastered the skill of making grand promises without any formal instruction.
Qin Nian nodded. Having lost his past memories, now recalling them again was like a person trapped in a jar suddenly returning to the world of the living.
He no longer had anyone he knew around him, and now he only wanted to die together with the culprit who caused all this. The so-called "finding someone" deal was just his last wish.
Once you die, you lose everything. If Xiao Shengyun can remember this promise, then this will be the last trace he leaves in the world.
Xiao Shengyun returned to his room. Perhaps because of the many things that had happened recently, there was hardly anyone to be seen inside the brightly lit hotel.
He now needs to find the people who overlap between the two lists.
The hotel has a lot of space. In the past few days, Huang Yu and Chen Buyan have used their free time to draw a rough layout of the hotel. The hotel's information center and monitoring room are located somewhere on the first floor.
The place was still brightly lit, with many workers hunched over their computers, searching for information on suspicious guests.
Not good.
It seems that not only did I think of this, but the hotel management also did.
The black tentacles moved swiftly along the corridor, finding the monitoring room, equipment room, power supply room...
The soft tentacles turned into a puddle of liquid and squeezed in through the door crack, sticking to the metal box and slowly climbing up to the main switch.
Snap.
The entire building went dark instantly.
"The power is out!"
"Is there a problem with the power supply?"
"What's wrong?"
The employees' words contained no worry, only excitement. Who would want to work overtime until the early hours of the morning? Let alone a power outage, they'd rather the power supply room explode.
"Everyone calm down, I'll go see what happened."
The manager went to the power supply room, cursing inwardly at the person who had damaged the power supply system the previous two times, perhaps because it hadn't been properly repaired last time.
He was relieved once he entered the room; it turned out that only the main switch had been turned off.
He casually turned on the switch and returned to the information room: "Everyone, keep working, it's just that the switch is malfunctioning."
The previously joyful atmosphere fell silent again.
The little tentacles quietly crawled to the switch, and once again, click.
The room went dark again.
"What's going on?" The manager stormed into the power supply room, only to find the switch off again!
He looked around; the room was empty.
Suddenly, the light turned on again with a "snap".
strangeness.
It's possible that the power supply system isn't working properly, or there's a loose connection somewhere in the circuit.
He waved his hand, telling the employees to go back and rest.
Three minutes later, the information room was empty.
After everyone had left, and after waiting in the shadows for another half hour, Xiao Shengyun crawled out from the shadows.
He patted his small tentacles; they were quite useful compared to the fishman's fins.
The information department's system has browsing history records, so there's no need for him to search again; he can easily retrieve the names of the two people.
8th Floor Banquet Hall:
Meng Yangzhou: Mayor of Mengchuan City.
Yin Fu: Member of the Chu Sheng Society.
Yuan Zhiwen: Member of the Xizhou District "Island Nation".
Ji Lan: General Manager of Chuanling Group.
...
Rooftop bathhouse:
Cui Biqin: Deputy Manager of Yuanwang Group.
Xuchang: Leader of the "furnace".
Lin Ruo: Member of the Linze City Operations Division.
...
These people have detailed information following their names. They include members of agencies under the Bureau of Supernatural Abilities, senior executives of large corporations, and personnel from various municipal government departments.
Xiao Shengyun tried to type out his name, but the information that followed gave him a shock.
Members of the True Knowledge Society.
No, when did he go to the enemy's territory?
Furthermore, there is a detailed document at the end, such as having participated in the xx incident and presided over the xx experiment. But let alone conducting experiments, he doesn't even understand the most basic biochemical knowledge.
This information is like writing a college professor's resume for a high school student.
This is utterly absurd!
The situation was urgent, so he quickly searched the two lists for people who overlapped. The number was less than he had expected; only fifteen people were present at both assassination attempts.
Just as Xiao Shengyun was about to check his file again, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside.
He hurriedly deleted all the records and then disappeared into the darkness.
When all the guards arrived, all they saw was a computer with the lights on.
...
The list has been found, but it would be difficult to find all fifteen people within two days.
In particular, the other party's talent could not be displayed at all in the hotel.
Xiao Shengyun and his two companions investigated for two days and only managed to rule out a few people. Huang Yu was even slapped for being suspected of stealing his female companion.
"We can't find anything. We can't just rely on covert surveillance to find the person controlling the pollutants. And shouldn't we be looking for the hotel's boss? Is our search going in the wrong direction?" Huang Yu covered the slap mark on his face. He was just a pure virgin who had just come of age. This was his first time being suspected of being a mistress, which was a novel experience.
“The main problem is that we have no direction. If we could find it, we would have done so already. This hotel is probably just temporarily rented, and there are no clues at all.” Xiao Shengyun also lay on the bed.
"Don't we have any more clues about that Awakened One whose talent is Fusion?" Chen Buyan said.
"No, it's possible that his memories of being in the organization were too painful, so he selectively blocked out a lot of information. However, he mentioned undergoing several fusion surgeries within the organization, so if we can find someone with organs containing contaminated materials, perhaps—"
Xiao Shengyun stopped abruptly because he suddenly thought of Lin Mo. Lin Mo's mycelium-like body was not an awakened talent, nor did it seem like pollution. So could it be a fusion?
Currently, the official definition of these things is very vague. Apart from those with a pollution value below 300 who also have special talents and are defined as Awakeners, everyone else is defined as Polluters.
However, contamination could be caused by source infection, organ transplantation of contaminated tissues, or even other reasons...
If he were to make a bold guess, then the organization behind Lin Mo might be the same as Qin Nian's.
Then what about Shen Yao? Which force took her away?
After seeing the list, Xiao Shengyun realized that there were many gaps in the information of the Operations Department. In recent years, the Operations Department has focused most of its attention on pollutants, but in the dark, the power of the polluters has continued to grow and has long been deeply rooted.
What are Qin Nian's feelings for the person in his memory?
In the brief moment of breaking the seal, Xiao Shengyun's emotions connected with Qin Nian's.
What kind of feeling was it, deeper than friendship, heavier than love, almost like faith?
Qin Qian's first half of life was like that of a stray dog, picked up by his owner and taken home. When his owner was angry, he would kick him a couple of times, and when he was in a good mood, he would give him a bone.
He thought all relationships were like this, bound by reins.
But that person's appearance told him that he could stand up and look others in the eye.
You don't need to wag your tail and beg for mercy.
There's no need to crawl on the ground.
Even when imprisoned, one can forge a new path.
"I have embraced the summer dawn."
A large amount of medicine was injected into the skin.
"At the front of the palace, nothing was moving, and the flowing water had stopped."
The body is invaded by pollution.
"The forest path still bears the shadows of the fields."
The screams of the caged man echoed in my ears.
"I went outside and awakened the moist, vibrant atmosphere..."
This poem, which he had never understood before, now hung high in his dreams, and everything around him became blurred, except for its radiant beauty.
