Something's not right.

Something's definitely not right.

Although Shen Qin didn't seem to have any problems, Xu Shi still subconsciously became a little suspicious of her refusal to go to the infirmary.

Because it doesn't make sense.

You can interpret this as the "Forsaken" distrusting the City of Nightsin, especially since she feels she is under the command of her brother's enemy, making her even more cautious.

However, it's obvious that she doesn't know that she knows her true identity, so there's really no need to resist on such a trivial matter.

As a leader herself, she naturally understood that in such situations, even if medication could solve the problem, going to the infirmary would be harmless. It was only basic courtesy to refuse the kindness of one's superior.

Moreover, it's just treating a simple skin injury; it's not like being tied up for sex slavery, so there's no danger.

In particular, he would never take this opportunity to do anything to her; there was no need for it, and it wasn't the right time.

On the contrary, while I was helping her up, I took the opportunity to plant the seed of evil thoughts in her with "entropy of evil thoughts"... Little sister seems to think too badly of herself, right?

so.

"Give me her medical report from City Hall."

Something unusual must be going on, he immediately instructed Su Lin.

The report arrived in his hands quickly, but after examining it carefully, he couldn't find anything amiss.

Aside from her name being fake, everything else was genuine. Her information was meticulously recorded—her physical condition was slightly below normal, but she had no other obvious illnesses… Including her abilities, which had been tested with a sundial before, and no flaws could be found.

"Did you notice anything amiss when you interviewed her earlier?"

Xu put down the report and asked Su Lin to confirm again.

"No."

Su Lin thought about it carefully for a moment, and then answered decisively.

The truth is, if Shen Qin really had anything unusual, it would be impossible to hide it from her eyes, or rather, from the eyes of the six major conglomerates. At the time, it wasn't just Director Su who was present; Ye Shanshan, Ning Wei, and others were also there, including the remaining three conglomerates and the city hall... Seven pairs of eyes were watching her. What could she possibly do?

Xu Shi neither confirmed nor denied it, but he found the matter increasingly strange.

You can participate in the city hall's physical examination without any burden, but you make excuses when you go to the clinic?

He pondered the differences between the two carefully, and after a long time, he finally came up with a possibility.

The only difference... is that she was injured this time?

"Contact the infirmary and ask about Shen Qin's condition."

Realizing this, he frowned and pondered.

"yes."

Su Lin responded and immediately inquired over there.

The answer was that Shen Qin's injury was not serious, and since she had taken medicine herself, she didn't need any complicated treatment. She just received some simple bandaging and left.

"Just bandaging?"

Xu Shi tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "Are the 'Forsaken's' healing potions really that effective?"

"Does young master see any problem?"

Su Lin was a little puzzled. "I've looked into that drug before. It's quite common among the 'Forgotten Ones.' I even talked about it with Secretary Ye when I went to the city hall earlier."

"Prism has conducted a detailed analysis and concluded that while its effect is not as good as their nanomedical spray, it won't be too bad either."

The fact is that in this day and age, simple skin injuries are really nothing. "Prism" has a nano-medical spray, and other small companies also have similar products. Whether applied externally or taken internally, the healing efficiency is very high, and it may even leave no scars.

Given the living conditions of the "Forgotten Ones," it's not surprising that they could develop something like this.

only.

"Team Leader Xia's injuries haven't healed yet."

Xu Shi said softly, "And she used a medical spray... Don't you think Shen Qin's recovery speed is a bit too fast?"

After he said that, Su Lin also realized that something was wrong.

It's called a flesh wound, but you have to see who caused it. The wounds left by the battle between two A-level "Ascensioners" will always take some time to heal.

Not to mention that even nanomedical sprays cannot restore the body to its original state the moment they are sprayed; medical technology has not yet reached that level.

In contrast, the problem is not right.

Xia Wuyou's physical condition was better than Shen Qin's, and her treatment methods were also more advanced, so her wounds healed more slowly than Shen Qin's.

It just doesn't make sense no matter how I look at it.

This was by no means due to "Blood Release". Xu Shi vaguely remembered that Shen Qin's superpower did not include "recovery speed". On the contrary, after the power surge ended, her three dimensions dropped instantly, and she could only enter a weaker state.

Even if that were the case, she wouldn't have needed to deliberately refuse before.

so.

There are only two possibilities.

"Or perhaps the healing potion Shen Qin possesses is more effective than the one the 'Forgotten Ones' provided for our research, even surpassing the level of 'Prism'."

Su Lin analyzed for Xu Shi, "But that seems unrealistic; it's more like..."

"Her power-up ability isn't limited to 'Blood Release' alone."

Xu Shi continued her sentence.

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them exchanged a glance.

"...Dual abilities?"

Su Lin's eyes were full of surprise, "That can't be... How can one person have two different upgrade abilities?"

"It's hard to say."

Xu Shi said seriously, "But judging from the current situation, this possibility is very high."

It is a general consensus since the emergence of the "Rust Fog" that every "Ascended One" has only one ability.

Many so-called "multi-ability users" are just minor variations that may occur when developing their abilities. For example, Xu Shi's "victim's will implantation" came about in this way, but in essence, it is the same lineage as "entropy of evil thoughts" and can only be considered a derivative.

Most people will not experience this situation at all; their abilities will only be further enhanced as their level increases. For example, when Director Su first awakened her superpower, her "teleportation" range was only twenty meters. It was only through continuous training that it grew to the current fifty meters.

However, Shen Qin's situation is clearly different. All signs indicate that she seems to have a special ability such as "accelerated self-healing," but this is fundamentally different from "blood burning liberation" and could not possibly be something derived from it.

In other words, she really does possess more than one superpower.

"hiss……"

Xu Shi let out a sigh of relief, and a moment later revealed a strange smile.

"This is really something... they always manage to come up with something new!"
