Chapter 176 Ancient Map
In the evening, Su Jinhui returned home tired. Before she had a good rest, she saw Yan Li'an appear in front of her in a military uniform with a serious expression.
She rarely saw Yan Li'an facing her with this expression at home, and she couldn't help but feel curious.
"Have you encountered anything strange in the past few days?"
Su Jinhui didn't quite understand why he suddenly asked this, but she seemed to have encountered many accidents recently, but most of them did not endanger her life, so she didn't take it too seriously, mainly because the space did not issue any reminder to Su Jinhui.
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Seeing that she seemed to be clueless, Yan Li'an said to her, "Recently, the people I sent to protect you have noticed that someone seems to be frequently causing accidents for you. However, their concealment methods are very impressive, and I can't find their whereabouts at the moment."
"That's why I came to ask if you encountered anything wrong."
After hearing what he said, Su Jinhui also perked up. "I haven't felt anything wrong recently, but it does seem a little strange when you say that. Could it be that those enemy spies haven't given up yet?"
"Since they suspect you have spatial abilities, they definitely won't give up. I'm just worried about what new methods they've used. This time, even the military couldn't detect it, so you should be even more careful."
"Starting tomorrow, I will send more professional people to protect you, and your security level will be fully upgraded. After all, whether you are my wife or even in the heart of the leader, you are a very important person. I certainly cannot let you come to any harm."
She stood up and held Yan Li'an's hand. "Your words make me feel more at ease than anything else."
"You don't have to worry too much about me. I have special abilities and I won't let myself suffer any loss."
Having said that, Yan Li'an's eyes were always fixed on him.
After taking a shower and eating, she began to look at the ancient book and suddenly made a new discovery.
There is a fragmentary record above that mentions a sentence.
"The power of the spiritual spring is taken from the people and used for the people. If you hoard too much, you will suffer backlash!"
This passage is a bit like the saying that water can carry a boat but can also capsize it.
She couldn't help but ponder, and considering the endings of past guardians, a bold idea suddenly came to her mind. Could it be that these so-called guardians may have suffered a decline in their abilities or loss of life due to their excessive reliance on space, thus proving that statement?
If you think too much, you will suffer the consequences!
Su Jinhui couldn't help but shudder. If this was really the case, then she should pay more attention and not rely on this spatial ability every time she developed a new drug.
Sometimes biting the golden finger may not be a good thing. In the following time, Su Jinhui adjusted the frequency of use and increased investment in public welfare medical care to balance cause and effect.
On the other hand, Yan Li'an led a team to raid an overseas medical research institute based on the clues provided by Su Jinhui and seized a large amount of research data about Linquan.
These materials also confirm that the ancient family has mastered some of the characteristics of space and even tried to replicate them artificially.
This strange thing also made Yan Li'an feel very scared, because this phenomenon was beyond the control of human beings, just like gods were an existence that humans could not resist.
What Yan Li'an was most worried about was Su Jinhui. Thinking of her special abilities, he was a little worried about future changes.
"Reporting to the team leader, we found this map while searching the Medical Research Institute. It looks a bit strange, a bit like feudal superstition."
Xiao Gao brought the map to Yan Li'an. He took it and took a look at it but didn't quite understand it because the sections of this map didn't match the current sections.
To be precise, it is an ancient map, which should have been from the time when the monarchy ruled China, but it had not undergone modern reforms and wars, so the map plates at that time were slightly different from now. Despite this, Yan Li'an still discovered that this map was a map of China from a hundred years ago.
At the top of the map, there are seven places each with a red circle drawn on it. What do these places mean?
Yan Li'an did not report this map to his superiors first, but took it back privately to study with Su Jinhui. Su Jinhui squinted her eyes as she looked at the map. She took out her ancient books and carefully looked through all the information she had.
"Did you see anything? This map is quite old. It must be quite old. It's also made of kraft paper."
Su Jinhui answered while looking up the information, "This map was probably copied by someone in modern times. If it was an older map, it wouldn't be preserved so clearly, so this map must have been redrawn by someone later."
“But the location should be about the same.”
Combining some of the information from the Medical Research Institute, I feel that the circled location on the map looks a bit like the place where the spiritual spring is passed down.
"Look at these places. There are seven in total."
"My thinking is this: First of all, the reason these enemy agents and overseas medical organizations are going to such great lengths to investigate these special abilities is simply because they want to possess and control them."
"And you also mentioned during your investigation that they attempted to artificially replicate these abilities, so I'm guessing these places might be the result of their previous investigations. These places might be related to these special abilities."
"Furthermore, the plates on this map are quite different from modern ones, indicating that this special ability existed even before the monarchy was abolished. These people have been studying this for hundreds of years."
As Yan Li'an listened to Su Jinhui's analysis, his scalp tingled more and more. "Do you think something this magical could really happen in this world? It's getting more and more absurd. Isn't it said that this is a materialist world?"
She looked at Yan Li'an's tense expression and couldn't help but sneer. Then she reached out and patted Yan Li'an's shoulder, asking him to relax. "Don't think too much. I also want to figure out what's going on."
"Because I do own this space, I used it to develop so many special medicines. But I must state first that I do know how to use this space, it just makes it more convenient for me."
"I don't want to believe such a mysterious thing exists in the world, but it happened just like that. Otherwise, why would these people go to so much trouble to investigate it?"
"And I discovered that this space might be hiding a bigger secret. This matter concerns me personally, so I must investigate it thoroughly."
Su Jinhui's face was serious, and Yan Li'an also started to get nervous after hearing what she said.
