Lin Xi finally arrived at her room. The ventilation here was quite good, and it was even more comfortable than the environment in the military area.

"It's quite late today, you should get some rest. If you need anything, the room at the end of the corridor is mine, but don't knock after 11 o'clock."

Brother Zhang has a very regular schedule; unless there are special circumstances, he should be asleep before 11 p.m.

Lin Xi also expressed her understanding, since she herself doesn't have the habit of staying up late.

After Brother Zhang left, Lin Xi heard a strange noise.

On the other side of the wall, it seemed as if someone was rhythmically banging on something.

Knock knock knock!

Knock knock knock!

She pressed her ear to listen further and seemed to hear a painful sobbing sound.

The walls are well soundproofed; if I didn't have exceptional hearing, I probably wouldn't have heard the sound at all.

A faint question arose in my mind: Who lives next door?

Why did Lin Xi sense that he seemed to be in pain?

That night, Lin Xi suffered from insomnia for the first time because of this incident. She checked the time; it was 10:30.

She threw off the covers, put on her shoes, and knocked on the door of the next room.

Is anyone there?

After waiting for a while, no one responded.

Lin Xi knocked again.

It became much quieter inside.

Could something unexpected have happened?

Lin Xi stood there for a while longer, and only went back after confirming that there was no more movement inside.

Could it be that you were injured during a mission and are in so much pain that you can't sleep?

That shouldn't be the case.

She remembered that before she came here, Xie Erge told her that she wouldn't need to do any dangerous missions with Zaiyin.

I slept until eight o'clock the next day when Brother Zhang came to knock on the door, "Third brother, are you up yet?"

Lin Xi opened the door unhurriedly, "Brother Zhang."

Brother Zhang merely frowned at her disheveled appearance without offering any further judgment.

He glanced at the neighbor next door. "What were you doing standing at the door next door last night?"

Lin Xi turned around and noticed that several surveillance cameras had been installed in the corridor, all seemingly pointed at this door.

In an instant, Lin Xi realized that the problem was not simple.

After thinking about it, she decided to answer truthfully, "When I was getting ready to sleep last night, I thought I heard the person next door was in a lot of pain. I couldn't sleep, so I wanted to see if they could help."

help?

Brother Zhang looked incredulous. "Keeping your mouth shut is already helping. Alright, get ready and go upstairs."

Lin Xi closed the door again.

Brother Zhang stood at the door, took a few steps toward the next room, and looked around at the room Lin Xi had mentioned.

Unfortunately, the door was tightly closed, and he couldn't see anything.

Yin had just finished breakfast and sat on the sofa, his fingers interlaced, his expression calm. "Really? He's quite stubborn. He's been hypnotized for a year, and his self-awareness hasn't been erased yet."

Brother Zhang asked, "Sir, should we bring in those psychic ability users again for further hypnosis?"

"Okay, go and bring those people back." Yin nodded.

After Lin Xi finished packing, she did not go upstairs, but was led directly out the door.

Behind the small villa is a huge open-air space.

The people Yin brought back are basically all training here.

However, there were only a few people actually training; most were just idling around, as if they were just playing.

Lin Xi's gaze swept back and forth between these people.

Who lives next door to her?

However, the people here did not seem to be injured; they were all full of energy.

Suddenly, she felt a few gentle taps on her shoulder from behind.

Lin Xi instantly became like a frightened bird, instinctively wanting to punch him a few times.

The person behind her reacted quickly, immediately turning their head and reaching out to block her fist.

"Wait a minute, the master said that a new young lady is looking for me, is that you?" the man said immediately.

I was afraid she would come at me with a relentless barrage of punches.

Fighting is fine, but fighting like this makes him seem dishonest and that he can only win by sneak attacks.

Lin Xi paused, "I'm looking for you? You're really shameless, I don't even know you?"

"Huh?" The man stroked his chin. "Did I get the wrong person? But I know everyone else here, you're the only new face..."

Wait a moment.

Lin Xi suddenly looked up.

He tentatively asked, "Were you previously in the military region?"

"Yes," the man nodded, "Yi Song."

"The first group to enter the military region?"

"yes."

Lin Xi's eyes lit up. "Hello, my name is Lao San."

"Didn't you say you wanted to spar with me?"

"Was your batch super amazing?" Lin Xi was acting like a complete fangirl.

This was something Yi Song couldn't do.

To be honest, he hasn't met many girls, and he didn't know how to handle this situation for a while.

Should we be a little more humble?

"I'm...I'm alright."

"I've heard so many legends about you guys in the military region!"

"A lot?" Yi Song asked, puzzled.

Logically speaking, their group of members should be the ones the military region least wants to mention.

How could there be so many rumors?

Lin Xi lowered her voice, "It was all told to me privately by a few people who knew about it. I didn't tell anyone else!"

She blinked, a sly look on her face.

Yi Song nodded, but his expression remained inscrutable.

He lowered his voice, covering his mouth with one hand, "If you really want to hear it, I'll tell you privately later."

"I want to hear it now."

Yi Song was taken aback. "Didn't we agree to fight? Are we still going to fight?"

"We're both here, we're not going to run away! When can't we fight?" Lin Xi clicked her tongue, mimicking the gossipy tone of her aunts and uncles.

Yi Song stared in disbelief, then nodded subconsciously.

"Brother, let's go talk over there, a little further away!" Lin Xi pointed to the open space over there.

That area is barren, with no one to admire the scenery or train, making it an excellent place for casual conversation.

Seeing this, Yi Song could only nod.

"I heard them say that they thought all the people from the military region had gone missing!"

"Missing? Is that what's being said outside?"

"Yes, didn't you know?"

Yi Song recalled what had happened before and couldn't help but feel sad. "No wonder, after that incident, no one went back."

He looked at Lin Xi and said, "Third brother, they didn't actually disappear, they died."

Lin Xi swallowed hard, trying to hide her emotions. "Dead? Why?"

"Because some people wanted to escape, the military region launched a purge operation."

"How could the military region discover such a secretive escape?" Lin Xi asked with an air of complete outsider curiosity.

Yi Song's expression was not good, as if someone had touched a sore spot.

Lin Xi sensed something was wrong.

What else could it be? Someone must have snitched on us!

However, now is not the time to pursue this matter; she will have plenty of opportunities to take revenge in the future.

She smiled and continued, "Alright, alright, let's not talk about that today. Tell me about the experts inside! There's one whose surname is... Lin."

Yi Song's expression changed again, "Lin? Lin Wang?"

"Yes, yes, yes! That seems to be the name!"
