Chapter 039 Happy Orphanage (Two in One)

Ji Weihang's code name is "Happiness 'A765'".

From the code names, we can see that the "identities" of the fifty players are clearly divided into five different camps - "Happiness", "Talent", "Competition", "Beasts" and "Birds".

The meanings of "beasts" and "birds" are obviously related to "human beings" and "superhuman beings". Leaving aside the unclear deeper meaning, Ji Weihang does have a clue about "happiness".

Obviously, this is related to the Happy Orphanage where Xing Le was born.

There is a lot of news about the Happy Orphanage on the Internet - "the most 'powerful' welfare institution in history", "a 'children's playground' spread all over the continent", "the only remaining conscience of the rich", etc. These compliments fill the Internet and almost make people feel fake.

In general, the Happy Orphanage was established under the leadership of the Werner Group in Zhongzhou, and all major groups participated in the donation. It is a private welfare home located throughout the continent. The supporting welfare institution is a private school, the Elite Academy.

"Happiness" and "Talent".

Ji Weihang doesn't think this is a coincidence.

As for the remaining "competitions", there are no clues for the time being.

If both the Happy Orphanage and the Academy of Talents are related to the player's "identity", then they are definitely not simple welfare institutions and will not be friendly to her. If she wants to go there to gather information, she cannot go there casually and directly.

Yes, she was going to follow the news and see.

On the one hand, she didn't know whether it was a bird or an animal, a superhuman or a human, and she had no particular preference. She had to understand it before she could choose a camp. On the other hand, in this process, she would definitely meet more players and get more information. Gui Yan might be among them.

The chat history between "Xing Le" and "Xing's mother" in the mobile phone ended the day before yesterday. Xing's mother asked "her" when she would go back to see her younger sister and brother, and "she" replied "in two days."

In two days, isn't today a good day? Judging from the chat records, Xing Le often goes back to the orphanage, so if she asks to go back now, it shouldn't arouse suspicion.

After making up his mind, Ji Weihang said, "I'm going to go back to the orphanage."

As soon as she spoke, Meng Yan, who had been playing with his phone and listening to the TV as background music, immediately looked up. Without saying anything else, he stood up and said, "Then I'll go. Anyway, you don't seem to be fine." After a pause, he asked, "Are you really fine?"

What could happen to "her"? After thinking for a while, Ji Weihang replied, "Nothing."

After Meng Yan left, Wei Hang separated a part of his spiritual consciousness to follow her. Since he didn't know what methods Meng Yan, as the "nightmare messenger", had, that small group of spiritual consciousness just followed Meng Yan cautiously at a distance.

Meng Yan took the elevator to the underground parking lot, got in his own car, and drove out. His consciousness attached itself to the passenger seat.

Through his spiritual sense, Wei Hang could see that it was a yellow car.

The bright colors don’t seem to match Meng Yan’s tone at first glance, but after looking at it for a while, they subtly fit in.

Next, Ji Weihang shifted most of his energy to the Happy Orphanage he was about to visit. His consciousness would naturally pay attention to Meng Yan's situation. "Dividing the mind" is a method that is initially mastered in the Out-of-Body Stage, and the consciousness has some independent awareness.

Happy Orphanage is where Xing Le grew up. Judging from the chat records, Xing Le goes there often. Therefore, there must be many people there who are familiar to her, and she must try her best not to let anyone know about her identity.

The first is Xing Wangli, the "Xing mother" who raised Xing Le. If their relationship is really as close as it seems, then she must be the one who can easily discover the difference between herself and Xing Le.

Wei Hang had already checked the information, understood the intruder's intentions, and came up with corresponding measures.

[Intruder: An alien will or soul that can invade human thoughts. During the "intrusion", the intruder completely controls the "body", and the original will or soul is like sleeping, unable to perceive the outside world. After the intruder leaves, the original will or soul will take control again, and will have no memory of what happened during this period. ]

There is no information on the Internet about how the Super Management Bureau detects intruders, but the reason most people report it is that they notice that their "relatives and friends" are behaving abnormally from some small details.

Regarding this, Ji Weihang has means that can help himself.

As long as she obtains the memories of her "relatives and friends", she will naturally know what image "Xing Le" has in their eyes.

It was just better to avoid superhumans, as she didn't know their methods and they would be easily discovered. This was why she didn't use this method on Meng Yan.

Hopefully there aren't too many parahumans in the orphanage.

She carried her backpack, took her cell phone and went out.

Possessing the memory of a delusional girl, she has adapted well to this world with a similar background.

She checked the navigation and found that there were two Happy Orphanages in the city, one in the south and one in the north. According to information on the Internet, Xing Le was born in the one in the south.

She was located in a busy area in the city center, a little far from the orphanage in the southern suburbs of the city.

"Xing Le" was not short of money, so she simply chose to take a taxi, which took about thirty minutes.

After getting in the car, the driver was a middle-aged woman. After confirming that she was an ordinary person, Wei Hang "shared" her memory and gained some common sense of this world.

Along the way, Weihang took advantage of the intervals between traffic lights to pick a few men and women of different ages to read and memorize. In this way, he had almost acquired the common sense he should know.

Generally speaking, it is not recommended to read the memories of different people multiple times in such a short period of time. However, Wei Hang is skilled in this and has enough "brain power" to process the huge amount of memory, so he was not shocked into an unconscious "idiot".

Combining these memories, the History of Parahumans at home, and the parahuman materials, she understood the background of this game.

Transhumans officially entered the world's historical stage eight years ago.

The first superhuman "Feather Girl" to appear before humans, she has pure white feathers, a light body, indestructible skin and super recovery ability. She awakened her abilities when she was having a difficult childbirth, or in other words, it was at that time that her abilities burst out. Legend has it that she briefly entered a state of death, and after "awakening", pure white feathers filled the entire ward.

Her child was called "a treasure born in a miracle" and received widespread attention. However, treasures are always coveted. Afterwards, a battle broke out over her and her child, involving long-hidden superhumans, newly born superhumans, organizations that coveted superhumans, and people and organizations that were jealous of superhuman abilities. The battle ended with the death of Yu-nome and her child.

After that, the first superhuman organization, the "League of Justice and Peace", was established in Bridge Country, and the first superhuman law, the "Uniform Code", was promulgated.

Although such a tragedy occurred, the world did not calm down afterwards, but fell into deeper chaos.

Superhumans appear everywhere, some on the technological side, some on the magical side, and some even claim to be the descendants of gods. Some of them enforce the law violently and fight evil with evil; some raise the banner of a sect, claiming that the world is about to sink in the end of the world and only a small number of chosen people can survive; some simply want to create chaos, or simply want to save others and themselves...

Based on the different concepts of different superhumans, two camps of "superheroes" and "super villains" were differentiated.

...Thinking of this, Ji Weihang couldn't help but stop and think about a question - why are they called "heroes"? Obviously, there are both male and female superhumans, and there are both male and female people who do good things, so why are they called "heroes" and "heroines"? Instead of "heroines" and "heroines"? If it corresponds to "super villains", why not "super decent people"?

After a few seconds of brief thought, she put the question aside.

Six years ago, a major incident caused by a super villain caused several continents of Blue Star to merge and form the current United Continent. The original hundreds of countries also collided and merged, and became the various autonomous states of the five continents of "East, West, South, North and Center". The federal government composed of leaders of several major countries of the "United Nations" jointly governs the continent.

Five years ago, the Helenna people intended to capture Blue Star as a colony to resist the enemy star. For the first time, the superhumans of Blue Star united to defend and attack. Hundreds of starships were shot down, like thousands of meteors. Hundreds of superhumans died in the battle, hundreds of thousands of humans died, and the blood dyed the blue sea red. In the end, Helenna retreated and Blue Star won a tragic victory.

Three years ago, the enemy army from Helenna arrived and tried to capture Blue Star as a prelude to the attack on Helenna, but was also repelled.

So far, there have been no more alien attacks, and the conflicts within the Blue Planet seem to have been alleviated through many times of fighting side by side.

However, since the frequent occurrence of superhuman conflicts some time ago, the previous remarks have reappeared, public opinion is confused, and the atmosphere is solemn. Perceptive people have already smelled the obvious smell of gunpowder and conspiracy that are gradually fermenting.

With aliens as an external enemy, there shouldn't be too much dispute within the Blue Planet. Ji Weihang thought that a smart leader would suppress such public opinion, but he didn't know why it developed like this.

The arrival of players will obviously become the fuse that intensifies and detonates conflicts.

It seems that the player’s choice is not just as simple as choosing a camp.

Just as she was lost in thought, they arrived at the Happy Orphanage.

The three-story building, which is the same as in the photo, seems to have been renovated, changing from gray and white to red and white, and the overall color has been brightened a lot.

The tall courtyard gate was closed and the security room was empty.

As she rang the doorbell, her spiritual consciousness had already floated in and cleared the way.

Perhaps because the sun was shining brightly, the yard was empty.

Entering the three-story building with a plaque that reads "Happy Orphanage", she can immediately see the "Outstanding Employee Display Board" and "Outstanding Children Display Board" on the left wall, among which is "Xing Le"; there is a set of tables and chairs under the display board, which should be a setting similar to that of a front desk, but at this moment, like the security room, there is no one there; turning the left, there are several offices, but since there is no one there, she did not take a closer look.

Follow the spiral staircase on the right side of the hall to the second floor, where there are three large rooms.

In the first room, there are bookshelves, desks and various learning tools. Quiet children are doing their own activities, reading, drawing or writing.

The second room was filled with various toys and play facilities, and the more lively children were running around happily, playing and screaming.

In the third room, the children were wearing some kind of instrument on their heads and doing exercises. There was a serious teacher on the stage.

"Hello?" At this time, a female voice appeared in the player next to the doorbell.

Ji Weihang came back to his senses and said, "It's me, Xing Le."

The gate opened automatically.

She strode in, her consciousness continuing to wander around the orphanage.

"Why are you here suddenly?" A middle-aged woman hurried down from the third floor and "brushed past" the spiritual consciousness that was going upstairs.

The spiritual consciousness looked at her back and met a face similar to the one in the photo. This was Xing's mother, Xing Wangli.

The tone didn't seem as intimate as expected. Fortunately, she was an ordinary person.

Wei Hang stepped into the main gate and his spiritual consciousness reached the third floor.

The third floor consists of the dean's office, teachers' offices, and storage rooms.

The divine sense went around the two offices, but found nothing, and saw no one. The storage room was full of miscellaneous items.

"LeLe!" Xing Wangli called out her name happily before they had even walked down the stairs. When the two of them got closer, he pulled her aside and asked with surprise and worry, "Why did you come here so suddenly? Didn't you rest at home?" He grabbed her and looked around, at her hands and legs, and asked repeatedly, "Are you hurt?"

Injured? Something she didn't know. Thinking of Xing Wangli and Meng Yan's similar behavior, Ji Weihang replied, "It's okay."

"I was really scared." Xing Wangli held her and sighed, "You don't know how scared I was when I heard that you were at the scene of the conflict last night. I was really afraid that if I wasn't careful you would... Oh..." In the end, he didn't say the unlucky word. Xing Wangli held her and asked her to promise, "Promise me, don't do this again next time."

Ji Weihang absorbed the information calmly and patted the other person's hand soothingly, "Got it."

As she moved, she slapped the talisman onto Xing Wangli's hand.

She had already confirmed that Xing Wangli was not a superhuman, and that he did not have the strange feeling that Meng Yan had, so she used a talisman to quietly read the other person's memory.

It turned out that last night, two superhumans had a conflict in the south of the city, and Xing Le was watching the fight at close range for some reason. The Happy Orphanage is in the south of the city, and someone saw Xing Le while observing the scene with a telescope and told Xing Wangli. Xing Wangli called Xing Le to say hello.

——This is also why this incident is not recorded in the chat history, because they communicated via phone call.

After Xing Wangli finished her rambling, Ji Weihang also finished looking through the key points of her memory. Having already learned the truth about their relationship, she said, "I'm going to go see the kids."

"Okay." Xing Wangli nodded, turned around and walked upstairs.

They went up the stairs to the third floor, entered a storage room filled with miscellaneous items, and took the hidden elevator to the hidden facility underground.

Ji Weihang used his memory and "expertly" picked up the transparent mask at the door and put it on his face.

After entering the next door, medicine sprayed out, "disinfection and sterilization."

The apparent reason is that the children raised here are very precious and fragile, but in reality it is to avoid any surveillance measures that may follow.

Wei Hang clearly felt that the spiritual consciousness following her became weak. But she did not hastily withdraw it, lest this weakness spread to the whole body, and only let it attach to Xing Wangli's watch.

The underground facility is an icy silver-white in color, and the ground and corridors are so shiny that they can reflect people's figures and faces.

Walking through the long corridor, there is a huge space of hundreds of square meters. Transparent glass divides this huge space into different small rooms. There is at least one adult in each space, and there are dozens of small spaces here.

There are many more adults here than on the ground.

Across this huge space, there is a silver corridor similar to this one, leading to another Happy Orphanage.

Children aged about one or two received different "education" in different small rooms, such as being held in arms to draw blood, being taught to read and speak, or staring at an object to "exert force". Some of them had spiritual power fluctuations, while others did not.

Obviously, compared to the three-story building above, this huge space is the real "Happy Orphanage".

Although her attention was wandering, her steps were still very determined to move in one direction. Noticing this, Xing Wangli, who was half a step behind her because he was talking to someone else, felt relieved and followed her, saying:

"Three have been eliminated during this period and have been sent to you as usual." The tone was no longer friendly, but instead had a hint of humility and caution in reporting to a leader, but at the same time, this humble attitude was not made too obvious.

Ji Weihang said "hmm" indifferently.

This is the true way Xing Le and Xing Wangli get along with each other.

When they reached their destination, they both stopped at the same time.

This is a space with many incubators, and dozens of babies are lying in the incubators. Some of them are test-tube babies, some are abandoned babies, and some are foreign babies of unknown origin. There are girls and boys, but most of them are girls.

——Superpowers can be inherited. If you control the mother, you control a genetic line.

Looking at the children's peaceful and sweet sleeping faces, Ji Weihang's thoughts were flying.

The Happy Orphanage is selecting and training children with superhuman potential. Although Dean Xing does not know what the children will do specifically when they grow up, he has some guesses - assassinating enemies, stealing intelligence, these things that were originally done by agents are naturally extremely suitable for superhumans to do.

As a precocious child, Xing Le discovered very early that the orphanage had other intentions for them. Five years ago, Xing Le contacted the "upper class" at some point and made a bet - if she could become the champion of the "Genius Children Competition", she could use her intelligence and the 500 million prize money in exchange for limited freedom.

In the end, she succeeded.

After Xing Le left the orphanage, Xing Wangli didn't know what she was doing outside, but she would occasionally come back to see the children. Although the "superiors" required Xing Wangli to obey her, she never made any extra requests.

But as she grew older and became more powerful, Xing Wangli no longer simply regarded her as a child.

In Xing Wangli's memory, the deepest memory of Xing Le was the confident smile and the disdainful look in his eyes when he won the championship five years ago.

Later, she walked along the long silver-white corridor, the bag in her hand dripping with bright red blood. The smell of blood, damp water vapor and rich floral fragrance mixed together and hit her in the face, just like those eyes like black holes, which were unforgettable and strongly filled every sense.

At that time, she threw the bag on the ground in front of Xing Wangli and said coldly, "Hand it over." Then she walked back along the winding water marks behind her, getting farther and farther away.

Xing Le obviously has a very mysterious hidden identity, but the current information is not enough to solve this mystery.

Retracting his absent-minded gaze from the babies, Ji Weihang looked at Xing Wangli and asked, "Has there been any news of the intruders?"

Xing Wangli replied: "Yes, the news from Xizhou has been synchronized to other places." Then he sent the information to Xing Le's account.

The person in the information is exactly the intruder who was caught in Xizhou as mentioned in the previous news.

[Appendix 3: In-depth analysis of the number 50]

[Appendix 4: …]

There was too much information, so I just glanced at it hastily. Ji Weihang discovered that this male player not only revealed his identity and mission, but also revealed a lot of information about the Jijiang Continent...Except for the existence of the game, which could not be revealed, he said everything else that could be said.

Is it because he couldn't bear the punishment, or is it Xizhou's supernatural power?

He frowned inwardly but didn't show it on his face. He put away his phone coldly and turned away.

Xing Wangli didn't care about her rudeness and followed her back the same way.

After getting out of the elevator, the two returned to their previous way of getting along, and they were so close that they were more like mother and daughter than mother and daughter.

After leaving the orphanage, Ji Weihang did not take a taxi away, but walked slowly along the road in one direction. According to Xing Wangli's memory, there was a Talent Academy nearby.

This is also the school where Xing Le studied.

When she arrived at the school gate, it was not yet time to finish school. It was a little after five in the afternoon and there was still some time before school was over. She was not in a hurry. She walked around the convenience store across the street from the school gate, bought an ice cream, and ate it while sitting on a bench by the roadside. However, her consciousness drifted into the Elite Academy.

The strength of consciousness in the out-of-body stage is extremely high. Photographic memory and reading ten lines at a glance are basic operations. With the spread of consciousness, she memorized the architectural layout of the Elite College and the faces of all the teachers and students in her mind in just a moment.

There are no hidden facilities under the Elite Academy. However, among the teachers and students, there are some with spiritual power fluctuations, and they must be superhumans.

"Ding-ling-ling." The school bell rang.

Students filed out, forming a huge stream at the gate, flowing out of the school gate and flowing to various places. When passing by her, they all cast curious eyes on her - a strong sister who is nearly 1.9 meters tall and has scars on her body is not common in this world.

After all the students had left, she entered the Elite College from a remote corner and walked through the school in stealth. When she passed a corner of the teaching building, she heard someone whispering, so she listened in:

"Teacher Fan, do you think there are a few intruders in the school?"
