Chapter 114 Chapter 114

Xia Meng consciously directed the clues to the Bai Ye Organization.

Wang Xiangyi was shocked for a while, feeling that this matter could be a big deal or a small one, and must be treated with caution.

He considered and said, "If Bai Ye's target has truly turned to China, then this matter is no longer within our control. We must inform Zhou Qi. Not only the Beijing Tower, but all the Black Towers in China must take action simultaneously."

Now that we have a direction, there is no need for Xia Meng to say more about how to conduct the subsequent investigation and arrangements.

Wang Xiangyi's current status does not allow him to participate in the investigation, so he plans to go directly to Zhou Qi to discuss it.

Xia Meng nodded.

If what happened in Bai Ye is true, then they must do it as quickly as possible.

It’s best not to waste even a minute.

After seeing Wang Xiangyi off, Xia Meng looked at Luo Xunfei's room for a long time, and finally got up and went back to her room.

Li Zhou was still asleep, his brows were furrowed, his face was covered in cold sweat, and his palms were cold.

He seemed to be haunted by a nightmare as well and could not be woken up no matter how much we called him.

So Xia Meng went to knock on Luo Xunfei's door.

When Luo Xunfei came out, his face was still a little pale.

When he heard that Li Zhou was not awake, he was stunned.

Xia Meng looked at him questioningly: "Could your retrospective work on him too?"

Luo Xunfei shook his head hesitantly: "Probably not..."

Backtrack can only be used on one person at a time, and the cooldown period is quite long.

He was sure that he had only used it on Xia Meng at that time, so there should be no possibility of misoperation.

Xia Meng: "Then why isn't he waking up?"

The two stood by the bed, looking at Li Zhou's flushed face.

Li Zhou was not sleeping soundly, his eyeballs kept moving under his eyelids.

This is a sign of vagus nerve activity, indicating that he is likely dreaming.

Xia Meng was worried: "Why don't we send him to the hospital?"

Luo Xunfei pondered for a moment, then suddenly reached out to touch Li Zhou's wrist, but Xia Meng cautiously blocked his move: "What are you going to do?"

Luo Xunfei explained in a gentle voice, "I'll use my mental power to probe and see if there are any traces of my retrospection in his body."

Xia Meng didn't let go.

She was a little hesitant. If the matching rate between the two of them was not high enough, Luo Xunfei would rashly use his mental power to probe into Li Zhou, which would cause certain harm to him.

Luo Xunfei saw her thoughts and said firmly: "It's okay, the match rate between him and me is more than 50%, which is enough."

Hearing this, Xia Meng looked at him intently.

After making sure that he was not lying, she slowly let go of his hand.

Luo Xunfei bent down slightly and placed three fingers on Li Zhou's wrist as if taking his pulse.

The guides use different gestures when guiding.

Some guides like to shake hands, some prefer a more intimate way of communication, and some like him who don’t like too much physical contact and are happy with just a touch of fingers.

However, just as his mental power was released, Luo Xunfei withdrew his hand the next second as if he had been electrocuted.

Xia Meng looked up nervously and found that Luo Xunfei's face was also full of surprise.

Xia Meng: "What's wrong?"

Luo Xunfei: "...My mental power can't get in."

There is a protective wall on the spiritual sea of ​​​​the sentinel, which is the spiritual barrier.

However, it is rare that the mental force cannot even get close.

Xia Meng: "Can you confirm that it's related to your flashback?"

Luo Xunfei shook his head: "I can't sense it."

After thinking for a while, he asked her again: "What about you? Can your mental power go in?"

Xia Meng also shook her head.

It had been like this since last night, and she couldn't help him.

Nor can I enter his mental picture.

Although she was not like Luo Xunfei who could not even get in, she was also trapped outside the mental barrier and had no way to do anything.

Luo Xunfei stood up straight, sighed softly, and said, "Let's observe him first. In his condition, if we rush him to the hospital, if Herman's people find him, the situation will be out of control."

What Luo Xunfei said makes sense.

Xia Meng temporarily let down her guard, stood up and said, "Then let's observe first. If it doesn't work, I'll find someone I trust."

Luo Xunfei went out.

Xia Meng stayed.

She sat on the edge of the bed and gently reached out to hold his hand.

Mental power flowed through her palm to him.

As expected, her mental power still could not enter his mental picture.

The transparent and invisible spiritual barrier was like a natural moat, ruthlessly locking her out.

Xia Meng could only pour her mental power towards the barrier bit by bit.

Like drizzle.

Even though I knew it wouldn't work, I still tried to wrap the entire barrier in the rain, trying to soak it.

I don’t know how long it took, until Xia Meng felt that he had almost used up all his mental strength, then he stopped.

She rubbed her stiff back and glanced at her phone. Two or three hours had passed.

During this period, only Zhou Qifa sent her a message, asking her if she had any other details to add about what Wang Xiangyi had said.

Xia Mengxin said that she had said everything she could say, and it would be inappropriate to say more.

As for how big a stir Bai Ye will cause in the country, sorry, she has only watched half of the documentary and has not finished watching the subsequent plot.

Instead of asking her, you might as well ask Luo Xunfei.

Unfortunately, Luo Xunfei couldn't say it.

She knew that the man had a secret in his heart.

And it's a huge secret.

It's probably a secret so huge that it would cause a huge uproar once it was revealed.

Xia Meng rubbed her face.

never mind.

What is certain at the moment is that Luo Xunfei has no ill will towards her and has no intention of hurting her.

As for his secret... She thought that as long as she continued to look back at those memories, there should be an answer.

Thinking of this, she couldn't wait to lie down on the other side of the bed.

Trying to fall back asleep and finish watching the rest of the story as soon as possible.

The result was like a person who could not fall asleep again after a good sleep. She wanted to actively return to the world of retrospection, but she could not find the way and could not go back.

She tried several sleeping positions and several methods, such as counting sheep and dumplings... She tried everything, but still no effect.

After trying for a long time, I could only lie on the bed and stare at the ceiling.

Xia Meng: “…………”

When she didn't want to watch, he forced her to watch endlessly.

Now when I want to watch it, I can’t.

Luo Xunfei is probably really poisonous.

As a last resort, Xia Meng had to get up again and go out.

Fortunately, Zhou Qi and Wang Xiangyi gradually sent back some news.

Some strange phenomena have been discovered recently in the Black Tower in the west.

The Western Tarim Basin is in charge of the western region, including Yunnan, Qinghai, Tibet and other provinces with long borders.

"In the past one or two months, there have been signs of the circulation of small white pills in several cities in Yunnan near the border. Because the samples seized contained very low levels of small white pills, they did not attract much attention. This time we specially sent people to conduct targeted investigations and found some details that had been glossed over in those reports," said Wang Xiangyi.

"Also, Zhou Qi has already left for the Western Tower. He just left half an hour ago. He plans to personally monitor the situation there. It would be great if he could follow those clues to find the source."

Xia Meng was still very confident in Zhou Qi's work.

In addition, in her recalled memories, she saw that he was the guardian who took care of Li Zhou as he grew up, and she couldn't help but have an additional layer of trust in him.

As for Wang Xiangyi, he was not idle either.

He used all his connections in the medical field to secretly investigate the laboratory.

Whether it is Zhou Qi's side or Wang Xiangyi's side, it takes time.

Xia Meng is a person who can't sit still.

She also wanted to do something within her ability.

Luo Xunfei.

After much thought, she still wanted to make a breakthrough from him.

And... she really had lost her patience with Luo Xunfei's half-say-half-and-half attitude.

She stood up and left the room again.

Luo Xunfei was leaning against the window with a cup of tea, looking at the scenery. He turned around and asked, "What's going on?"

Xia Meng shrugged calmly, "It's still the same, but the temperature has dropped a little."

"That's a good thing." Luo Xunfei smiled and watched her slowly walk over and sit on the sofa a few steps away from him. He realized something and asked, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Xia Meng leaned back naturally and said, "Since I have nothing to do, why don't we chat?"

Luo Xunfei raised his eyebrows.

He laughed: "Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you into talking while we're chatting?"

Xia Meng also laughed: "I think you are afraid of being tricked by me? After all, you are the one hiding the secret now."

The two of them smiled at each other, each with their own thoughts.

Xia Meng changed into a posture more like a casual chat between friends, crossed her legs, propped her chin on one hand, and said casually: "Let's just chat casually, okay?"

Luo Xunfei readily agreed: "What do you want to talk about?"

His expression was relaxed.

But Xia Meng could see that there was still a hint of wariness in his eyes.

She smiled and suddenly said, "I've just awakened. Before awakening, I knew very little about the Sentinel World. How about taking this opportunity to tell me about it?"

Luo Xunfei was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that she would choose such a topic.

He: “What aspect?”

Xia Meng rubbed her chin, as if venting a worry. "Hmm... superpowers, huh? I've read some information about them, all sorts of them. But I've never heard of anything as amazing as your ability to recall past memories. Did you know you had this ability the moment you awakened? Or did you develop it later? I haven't had any superpowers since my awakening. I've read all the relevant instructions, and they basically say it depends on one's personality and experience, and that it only appears when opportunities arise. But I haven't got a clue right now. Of course, I've heard that there are some training courses on the market that claim to be able to cultivate superpowers in a targeted manner, but they're said to be not very formal. Superpowers cultivated this way are usually very unstable and can easily backfire on the person..."

The little mouth said a lot.

Luo Xunfei was a little dazed after hearing this - is this person really here for consultation?

...Since she asked the question so sincerely, it would be a bit rude of him not to answer her questions seriously.

He tried to explain it to her by combining various big data and theoretical knowledge.

Xia Meng listened carefully, then said, "Oh... I think I understand. Do you have any more practical experience?"

Luo Xunfei had no doubts and directly cited several actual cases from various angles.

Until one moment, when he realized that the topic had been brought back to his past several times, intentionally or unintentionally, Luo Xunfei stopped vigilantly.

He looked at Xia Meng and smiled: "You want to get some information from me?"

Backtracking is an extremely rare top-level ability.

It is even kept in the archives inside the Black Tower and is not open to the public.

Even the identity of Sentry, who possesses the ability to look back in time, is top secret.

"It's not a trap." Xia Meng raised her eyes and smiled sweetly at him.

"It's just that I'm a polite person and I like to reciprocate."

Luo Xunfei was slightly stunned.

What kind of exchanges are there?

The next second, he saw Xia Meng suddenly raise her hand and wave at him. The moment her mental power surged from her fingertips, a thick fog rushed towards him.

Luo Xunfei took a deep breath at the extremely familiar breath.

Is it backtracking?!

She can actually go back in time!?

Oh no! I was careless!
