Breakthrough (VI)
"What's going on?" Li Ming's fingertips, still slightly burning, pressed against the cold armrest. The tiny patch of skin felt two completely different sensations. The glass window in front of him made a piercing, squeezing and rubbing sound, as if it could not bear the weight.
The announcement from inside the building was: "The base has activated a Yellow Level Response. All personnel in Area G are requested to leave the premises immediately."
Shi Youchen's heart sank. Area G seemed to be the location of the Ability Observation Room. The shaking of the Information Building had subsided a bit, and he immediately let go and pulled up the base map. Sure enough, he saw the mark for the Ability Observation Room in the center of Area G.
"What's wrong?" Li Ming asked, seeing his face darkening. Shi Youchen's breathing became heavier. "I have something important to do, so I have to leave first. We'll talk another day." He looked up anxiously at the still chaotic scene outside the window. He placed Mollier's only relic in Li Ming's hands, "Take good care of it," and then sprinted towards the exit.
Li Ming didn't understand why, but he couldn't speak any more. He could only stand there and watch the man leave. When Shi Youchen's figure disappeared around the corner, his eyes fell on the small box in his hand, and he murmured, "Of course."
The ground outside was covered in gravel and sand, shaken out from who knows where. Shi Youchen ran all the way to the supernatural observation room, nearly falling to the ground once or twice due to the sudden tremors.
By the time he reached the bottom of the supervision building, his heart rate was noticeably elevated. He didn't seem to intend to stop for a rest if he hadn't been stopped. "Hey, what are you doing?" the blonde woman reached out and grabbed his arm, asking in a rather unfriendly tone.
Shi Youchen only focused on the building and tried to break free from her hand. After two unsuccessful attempts, he turned around and said, "Please let go. My friend is inside."
The blonde woman, somehow still wearing sunglasses in broad daylight, twisted her wrist and pulled Shi Youchen toward her. "Didn't you hear the notice? You can't go in there." She still had no intention of letting go.
Shi Youchen felt a little angry. He struggled hard to shake off the woman's hand. His shoulder was a little sore from the excessive force. Then he turned around and walked towards the door.
"Hey!" The woman was getting anxious. She stretched out her long legs to block Shi Youchen and took off her sunglasses that were as big as half her face. "Stop."
Shi Youchen thought he saw the sea, a blue, pure, boundless sea.
"Huh?" The blonde woman was slightly surprised. "Who are you? What level of psychic are you?"
"Shi Youchen, level 4."
Shi Youchen answered.
Mai Er looked at the person standing there suspiciously, her blue irises flashing in bursts. "You said your friend is in there. What's your friend's name?"
Just now, she had evacuated everyone in the supervision building according to the order, and she was guarding the gate to prevent anyone from breaking in. But according to reason, the base had already issued a notice, so no one should really break in at this time.
Mai Er pinned her sunglasses to her collar and carefully observed the man who looked unhealthy but was actually quite good-looking. Then she heard him say, "Ying Yungui."
"Huh?" She suddenly stopped in her tracks and hurried back to Shi Youchen, staring at him and asking, "What's your relationship with him?"
"teammate."
Mai Er was now filled with confusion. How could Ying Yungui actually find a Level 4 teammate? She never doubted the authenticity of the information she had obtained under hypnosis, and this time was no exception. Therefore, in her opinion, Shi Youchen was absolutely impossible to lie.
"That's strange, you..." Mai'er was about to ask something else when she heard a strange "cracking" sound above her head. She looked up with a bad premonition - there were patches of snowflake-like patterns on the window glass surface of the entire building.
It's about to break.
As she realized this, countless shards of glass shattered and poured down. Mai Er only had time to pull Shi Youchen, who was standing there in a daze, to protect his head, and then waited patiently for the pain to come.
"I hope the healing person hasn't gone far." She thought to herself.
The pain didn't reach her. Mai'er instinctively closed her eyes, then felt her arms loosen and her arms felt empty. "Hmm?" She opened her eyes a little and glanced around, seeing a pair of white indoor shoes in front of her, specially designed for observation room testing.
"What? Why don't you go in? Are you waiting to be stabbed?" Ying Yungui's somewhat hoarse voice came from above. Mai Er opened his eyes completely, and when he looked up and saw a man in white, he thought of something. He put on his sunglasses again with a quick movement, and smoothed his messy hair as if nothing had happened.
But unfortunately, the glimmer that happened to light up in her eyes was caught by Ying Yungui, so he asked, "Did you hypnotize him?"
Ying Yungui's expression was normal, very normal, even so normal it didn't seem like him. Mai Er spat inwardly and said, "The base had already announced that no one was allowed inside. He rushed in without saying a word, and I was trying to stop him." As he spoke, he glanced at the hand on Ying Yungui's shoulder that was holding the man back.
Damn, it turns out this guy is having a one-sided love affair.
Mai'er was thinking about the relationship between the two people in a thousand ways, and then she thought of a classic category from her rich experience in reading love stories - I want to be your partner but you only treat me as a teammate.
For a moment, she looked at Ying Yungui with eyes full of sympathy and pity.
Ying Yungui certainly didn't know about Mai Er's complex and intense mental activity, but honestly, even if he did, he wouldn't have the energy or the energy to "correct" it. He could feel that Shi Youchen's clothes were not thick, and with a little pressure, he could even feel the shape of his bones.
"Let's go in first." He made the decision immediately, even though it went against the association's orders.
They found a warm room nearby and went in. Ying Yungui helped Shi Youchen sit down, looked around, then walked to the long table, took a new cup and poured half a cup of hot water into it. He then walked back to Shi Youchen who was sitting there, squatted down, and placed the warm cup of water in his palms.
"How long will it take for him to wake up?" Ying Yungui's tone seemed a little urgent, but it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.
Mai Er put away his expression of watching the show and said, "I'm not sure. His willpower is particularly strong. The energy I input will only reach a deeper spiritual space, and it will take him much longer to fully wake up than others."
Ying Yungui stood up straight, and the black and purple hair that had grown to his neck fell in front of his eyebrows as he lowered his head.
It's not like Mai Er had never seen such a cold look in his eyes before, but in the past, he only showed it to his enemies. This was the first time Ying Yungui looked at her like this. She felt the blood flow in her body suddenly slow down.
"Send him to the office of the Deputy Minister of Information and watch over him until he wakes up." Even though Ying Yungui was extremely reluctant, he knew that he could only temporarily entrust Shi Youchen to Mai Er. "I need to be away for a few days."
Mai Er: "Okay, but where are you going? Your current condition..." The fact that Ying Yungui was brought back to the association base and directly entered the superpower observation room had already spread among several families, but no one knew his specific condition.
"My limiter has been destroyed. I need to go to headquarters." Ying Yungui raised his hand to check the time. "My dad has sent someone to pick me up. They will be here soon."
Mai Er understood. Energy limiters were not uncommon auxiliary tools. Some, like Li Ming and Mollier, were prepared before birth, while others, like Ying Yungui, were custom-made after birth. Generally speaking, they were designed to make the body more adaptable to the flow and integration of energy, even though they did affect energy growth and, in some sense, hindered the "promotion" of supernatural power levels.
However, there will still be many families that use their next generation of psychics. Their fundamental purpose is to cooperate and assist the Global Psychic Management Association in its research on psychics themselves.
Ying Yungui's limiter was specially made by the association's headquarters. Now that it was destroyed, it was only natural for him to go to the headquarters again.
But Mai Er felt there was something more crucial. "I'm leaving now. Remember, you must see him wake up." Ying Yungui seemed to sense something, and the exclusive bracelet he had received on his wrist lit up with a green communication light.
...
Ying Yungui left, and only Mai Er and Shi Youchen were left sitting in the room. A few minutes later, the usually quick-witted and decisive director of the interrogation department finally reacted. He ran to the empty window and shouted outside: "What will happen to the interrogation progress here after you leave?! Have you reported it to the higher-ups?!" As expected, no one responded to her.
Ying Yungui had already boarded the special plane from the association's headquarters, turned off all communication tools, and quietly sank into the soft seat with his eyes closed.
If you ignore the silver-clad men surrounding him, he really looks like he is about to embark on a pleasant and comfortable journey.
Mai Er simply learned that the limiter was destroyed, but was unable to personally experience the pressure Ying Yungui was under.
During these days in the superpower observation room, the energy in his body not only did not calm down, but became more surging and difficult to control. Until a certain moment today, Ying Yungui suddenly felt as if all the meridians and joints in his body were opened, and his body and mind experienced an unprecedented sense of levitation and relaxation. However, he did not expect that it was this moment of relaxation that caused the base space to vibrate and almost hurt Shi Youchen and Mai Er.
Ying Yungui closed his eyes and frowned under the gazes of several people around him, and reached out to cover his eyebrows and eyes.
If, if Shi Youchen and Mai Er were really seriously injured because of him today, Ying Yungui didn't know what he would do in this situation.
Ying Yungui went to the District 1 Association headquarters under supervision. Shi Youchen was taken to Lin Zhouze's office by Mai Er to wait for him to wake up. On the other side, Li Ming rushed to City A, the Lu family.
"Uncle Lu." The short, silver-white-haired young man stood up in a fluster after the study door opened from the outside and greeted the newcomer. Lu Ming waved and smiled, motioning for him to sit down. He said leisurely, "Why did you think of coming to my place today? Come sit down and try the new tea."
The old butler followed Lu Ming into the study and quietly made tea for the two of them.
Li Ming glanced at the third person, his face somewhat embarrassed: "Uncle Lu, I have something I would like to ask you for help." Seeing his expression, Lu Ming gently said to the old housekeeper: "You go ahead and do your work, we will do it ourselves."
In the rather quaint and somewhat solemn study, two men, one black and one white, sat facing each other. The white-haired man was the younger one. Lu Ming appeared very considerate. He waited until the heavy door of the study was closed before asking, "What's wrong? Are you in trouble?"
Li Ming swallowed his saliva and spoke cautiously, "Uncle Lu, I'd like to ask for your help. I'd like to report something to the association's higher-ups in your name."
"City A... No, it's possible that high-ranking political and economic officials in more places have been infiltrated by the Security Bureau."
"Morril's death was not an accident. He was infected with a toxin during his mission in City A."
