Chapter 106 A little plot + forum
After a quick knock, the door of the ward was opened.
The visitor frowned and looked around at the first moment, but his sight was completely blocked by the figure standing at the door after he opened the door.
"Hmm? Commander Xiaozhe, why are you here?"
The woman with an algae green ponytail asked with a raised eyebrow. She looked in good condition, with beads of sweat from the recent arrest still hanging on her forehead. Her neat uniform was a little messy.
The curve of the corners of his mouth disappeared after seeing the expression of his superior. Worry appeared on Lu Qingyuan's face and he glanced directly behind the other person.
"Why is he looking like that? Did the undercover agent fail to catch him? This is also my fault. I made a wrong judgment. I didn't expect him to be so slow. I accidentally gave him time to escape. But...eh?"
Her eyes fell on the familiar figure behind her. The man she had been chasing had his hands and legs locked by several security guards and was curled up on the floor. He seemed to have been staring at her from the beginning, his eyes were bloodshot due to intense emotions and were trembling wildly, as if he was talking to her. But his mouth had been covered tightly with a rag, and he could not say anything except for a slight struggle.
The sight of it desperately wriggling on the ground looked very funny.
"He's been caught!" Feeling that the man was a little weird, Lu Qingyuan frowned and looked away. She then smiled brightly and patted her superior's shoulder. "Why do you have such a sad face? Hurry up and take this guy away so that the higher-ups can have a look!
The commander hadn't said a word since the beginning.
Even though the extremely powerful fist hit his shoulder, he ignored it and just ignored Lu Qingyuan and glanced inside the ward again.
There were no signs of a fight, as if from beginning to end only Lu Qingyuan had accidentally walked in, and then pushed the door open as if nothing had happened.
So he withdrew his gaze and turned to meet Lu Qingyuan's confused eyes.
"It's nothing, I'm just suspicious. I'm worried that there are other undercover agents hiding something. The officer sighed at the other party. Obviously, with the thick dark circles under his eyes, his silence just now was mistaken for the unconscious dullness after fatigue. "Ms. Lu is not hurt, right? Thanks to your delay, we have enough time to provide support. ”
"Ugh." For some reason, Lu Qingyuan shuddered. Under the officer's concerned gaze, she waved her hands with a strange look, "No... I'm fine, I'm fine, but I don't know why, but I get goose bumps when I hear the name 'Miss Lu'. Please be sure to call me by my name."
"By the way, the young boy inside..." She pointed hesitantly at the bed, "He has a good relationship with the superpower team I'm in charge of. Although I understand your reasons for keeping it secret, those three children are trustworthy, right?"
Lu Qingyuan didn't forget the undercover agent's deliberate wandering around this area. Although she accidentally arrived at the ward before the undercover agent, the position in which the other party was pressed to the ground clearly proved that her inference was correct!
The undercover has been dealt with, now it’s time to deal with the young man inside. Lu Qingyuan had heard about the energy-affinity body before, but at the moment she couldn't think of any more special reason that would make the undercover agent so obsessed with it. Either way, this will arouse the suspicion of the government, and the teenager inside will probably have to be relocated.
After all, she had been leading the three-person team for several months. It would have been too much to hide it from them. She knew that the three of them came to the ward to punch in every day.
"It doesn't matter. You can tell them in person, just don't let anyone else hear it."
The commander said this with his arms folded, and from his expression of despair, it could be seen that he had guessed what kind of storm was about to come. Who would have thought that just after finishing the activity, a bunch of new tasks appeared. Eight hours of sleep is too luxurious for a corporate slave.
"Of course, I will try my best to stop those people... Alas, there are too many things to do, I have to go first. Miss Lu... Qingyuan, there are still a few hours before the end of the event, you can go and have a good look around."
“Although only a quarter of an hour had passed, after revisiting the game, I might have a completely different experience than before.”
The officer, who was born to work hard, smiled and waved to Lu Qingyuan. After a brief farewell, he left with the man on the ground and a series of employees on standby.
Lu Qingyuan smiled back and waved her arms vigorously. She ignored the undercover man's gaze on her, and naturally did not notice the man's devastated expression as if the world had collapsed when he was dragged away powerlessly.
She just stretched lazily, then stood there thinking for a moment, took out the phone from her pocket and dialed a familiar number.

The forum has fallen into a state of extreme laziness.
Following the prompt "This update has come to the end", every reader smoothly entered the forum page. The first thing they saw was a series of notes such as "Daytime Backlash" and "Daytime Blood". The focus of contemporary young people is obvious at this moment, directly suppressing the "undercover" and "identity" notes that should have been the most important in the plot.
There is no need to elaborate on the ghost howling and sniffling in the post. In order to ensure the stability of the plot, let us move directly to the serious speculation post to witness the new conjecture of the forum boss.
「OP: Oh haha everyone (kneel)」
The way the poster greeted others this time was also very special.
“Original poster: It’s peak time now, and I just finished watching the update. Logically, there should be a lot of people watching, but based on the ending of this update, I think it might be quieter this time. It’s okay, it’s okay, kids, go to the next room and cry your eyes out before coming back. Your tears and saliva shouldn’t be here with me (pray)”
「3L: Hehe.」
「4L: Hehe」
「5L: Hehe」
"OP: Hehe. Anyway, let's get straight to the point. I'm sure you've calmed down and remembered the plot of this update, right? It doesn't matter if you can't remember. I'll mark them - "Lu Qingyuan undercover", "the incident two years ago", "Daytime identity". Let's connect them one by one."
"15L: I am Sister Qingyuan's cook. I died not long ago."
"16L: Don't die, you're not dead yet."
"OP: Yeah, after all, the difference between this person before and after is earth-shattering, so it's understandable that I can't accept it. Who would have known that a kind and good senior who appeared in the early stage would be a cultist without humanity (purely voluntary)? From this point of view, the various hardships suffered by the protagonist group in the early stage may have come from her. But fortunately, she is now a real good senior (a bit of hell)"
"OP: I'm afraid you've forgotten, so I'll repeat it again. The incident two years ago didn't take up too much of the plot in the comics, but it was a very important event. It was the first appearance of the Dark Nest, the first large-scale cooperation of the positive side, and also the turning point when the camps in the comics were completely divided into black and white."
"Author: In the memories of the commander and the protagonists, plus the fragments of Lu Qingyuan's memories in the new chapter, we can piece together the incident. At that time, the cult was still in a period of confusion, and had no idea how annoying they were. And everyone had the most sincere respect for the leader."
"OP: In Lu Qingyuan's memory, the base of the Dark Nest at that time had no special features. It was like a makeshift nest, mostly filled with laboratories. The facilities and instruments were similar to those of the government, but obviously more backward. The most important of them were the "researchers", who were also the key to the growth of the Dark Nest. Those inhumane parasites and deformed cultists must have come from them."
"34L: ...You're just researching disgusting things. If Brother Zhu was a test subject... I... (gritting my teeth)"
"35L: Calm down. Didn't Lu Qingyuan analyze it? The probability that Bai Zhou is the experimental subject is very low (shock)"
"36L: But Brother Zhou doesn't need to lie about this. If he's not an experimental subject, then is he a cultist? With these three identities, there's no need to even think about being a researcher. He will come into contact with Lu Qingyuan!"
…
"OP: But I think Bai Zhou is most likely the experimental subject."
“45L: Huh???”
“46L: No, why? Isn’t that even more sharp? No matter what comic it is, this is an untouchable sharp spot (horrified)”
"47L: That's right... If Zhou Ge was a test subject, he wouldn't be able to remain unknown with his psychic abilities."
"OP: But what if he is a superpower who evaded government searches at the beginning of the apocalypse, built up his power without anyone knowing, and cleared several high-level copies on his own to obtain countless superpower items?"
「50L: Oh, that’s true (agree)」
“51L: …That doesn’t seem impossible.”
"52L: ...When it comes to Long Aotian, who can compare to our brother Bai Zhou! This is the ceiling of combat power!"
…
“OP: But I don’t think all his achievements were accomplished by him alone.”
“64L:?”
"65L:? If you drag your words again, I'll punch you."
"66L: My fists are itching, I think I want to beat someone up."
「Owner: I’m sorry」
"OP: Hatred, deep hatred for the Dark Nest, can actually be answered here. I don't think Bai Zhou would lie. Although he likes to mix truth and lies, he has never cheated in terms of the rules of the game. And there is no need to lie to a body that is destined to lose its mind. Didn't a previous popular Bai Zhou inference post also choose between "betrayer" and "experimental subject"? "
"OP: In Lu Qingyuan's memory, there are still some test subjects that have not been tested yet and are locked in cages. The test subjects there have been hiding their faces and their appearances cannot be seen clearly. It is normal that she cannot recognize them. This is also the only possible identity."
"OP: I'm not smart enough, so I don't know how Bai Zhou managed to sneak into the Dark Nest without being seen by everyone, and how he hid his special abilities from the crowd. Maybe he used his immature psychic system to control others, or maybe he just endured violence in a corner where no one noticed. But the only way a smart boy could enter the Dark Nest was because there was someone he cared about inside - his friend who was kidnapped by the Dark Nest."
"125L: ...But the documents about the crackdown only show the few esper survivors, and they can all be found in the relevant guilds. The others have died on the operating table. He didn't save his friend."
"Author: Yes, he failed. All he could do was to escape from the Dark Nest during the siege, and he disappeared for the next two years. He did not suffer the pain and suffering of the experimental subjects, but he experienced a farewell that was almost the same, from his good friend."
"OP: So, he would use cruel and terrible behavior that was completely different from his usual behavior to deal with Lu Qingyuan. He did not choose to use his supernatural power when she was mentally weak. Instead, after she calmed down, he shattered all her fantasies and tore up all her cards, making her watch helplessly as her mind was invaded and brainwashed under the extreme energy crushing, becoming the kind of person she despised the most. He was far from being as calm as he seemed on the surface. He had always been full of hatred."
"OP: He was willing to pay a heavy price, bear strong side effects, and let the blood flow down his nose. When he stared at the red sting on his fingertips, did he think of his companions who had suffered on the operating table? Was he feeling a little happy about his revenge, or was he sad because he was powerless to turn things around? The emotion that emerged in his eyes at that time was his true vulnerability."
"OP: This is the life that Bai Zhou experienced two years ago. It was an episode that was neither too long nor too short, but it became a thorn in his heart, causing constant pain from then on, accompanying him for the rest of his life."

“520L: …Dead hand, why don’t you just stay next door and lick the face posts and go crazy?! Why do you want me to see this post now? It’s night time now. My eyes will swell up. (This person was stabbed to death)”
