Chapter 82 You don’t want me to tell Ji An’s secret! About…
Instead of receiving the courtesy that Philemon and the others had imagined, they were pushed into the interrogation room as soon as they landed.
Charles had been waiting in the interrogation room. He had his back to Philemon and the others, and only turned around after Philemon and the others came in.
Charles had one eye blinded by a superpower in the base before, but it was healed later. But for some reason, Philemon still felt a chill when he saw Charles's healed eye, as if he had fallen from a very warm place into an ice cellar in an instant.
"Commander Charles, I, we are back." For some reason, Philemon, who had always believed that he was a hero of the country before landing on the land of Country M, lost that confidence after landing on the land of Country M.
Now meeting Charles' eyes, Philemon even began to doubt whether he had done something to offend Country M at the Jing City base, or sold out Country M's secret intelligence.
"We have successfully completed the mission and are back." Philemon said, "Before we left, we have completed all the tasks you assigned to us. The space storage item was invented by a researcher named Ji An, and the nutrient supplement was most likely invented by Han Yaokun."
Charles' eyes were as cold as a venomous snake, staring at Philemon grimly, "Is this what you want to tell me?"
Philemon became even more panicked. He always felt that if she said one wrong word, she would be buried here, but Philemon had no way to solve this dilemma.
She didn't know how to get out of this situation, so she could only talk about the sacrifices of these people, trying to use this to awaken a little compassion in Charles.
"We had a very hard time when we arrived at the Jingshi base. Gu Jinsheng asked us to heal the psychics in the Jingshi base day and night.
In the end, we knew that if we continued to heal, our superpowers would be over-exhausted and would eventually be wasted.
But even so, Gu Jinsheng still forced us to receive treatment. Even when our powers were wasted due to excessive consumption, he still hired people to examine us, as if we would cheat..."
"Don't you have anything else to say to me? All this useless nonsense!" Suddenly, Charles became furious without any warning, like a bull that suddenly goes crazy seeing a red cloth. The blue veins on his forehead were throbbing, visibly jumping up and down.
Philemon was startled, and felt aggrieved. These people had gone there voluntarily before, and none of them had been forced to go because the base had leverage over them.
It was obvious that Charles treated them with great courtesy at that time, and kept praising them as national heroes who sacrificed for the country, and said that Country M and its people would always remember them.
How come now that they have finally managed to survive and come back, everything has changed, as if they are no longer heroes of Country M, but sinners who are lingering on!
One of Philemon's companions could not stand the disparity and was dissatisfied with Charles' attitude, so he said, "Commander-in-chief, we have done our best to complete the tasks you assigned to us.
To be honest, when I left and set foot on the land of Jingshi Base that day, I never thought that one day I would be able to come back alive.
We are lucky to be able to come back alive this time.
Shouldn’t the base be happy for us and proud of us...Ah!!!"
Philemon only felt a gust of strong wind blowing past, making the right half of her face hurt like a knife. Her teammate was knocked away by a supernatural power and hit the wall hard. After a scream, she fell heavily to the ground and was silent.
Philemon reached out his hand and touched the right half of his face. He felt it was wet. He raised it to his face and saw blood on his fingers.
Philemon's eyes were filled with fear.
Charles' assistant shouted in panic: "NO, Commander-in-Chief, you can't use your superpowers. Your eyes can't bear the intensity of your superpowers. It's bleeding again."
Charles said angrily, "You useless idiot, how many eyes have you had? Isn't there one that has fully awakened?"
The assistant wanted to say that even if they cloned dozens of Charles' clones, Charles would use his superpowers every few days, causing the new eyes to be unable to withstand the power and become scrapped!
In this situation, even if there are dozens of clones, they are not enough. Even if the clones that are finally cloned awaken the same superpowers as Charles himself, Charles will not give the clones time to upgrade their levels and will take the clones' eyes.
How can the replacement eyes in this situation withstand Charles' superpowers? He is a full-level superpower user!
Charles said irritably: "Tell the institute that I will go over to replace my eyes later."
The assistant shuddered and swallowed fearfully, "Commander-in-chief, all the eyes in this batch of clones have been used up. If you want to get a new eye, you'll have to wait for the next batch of clones!"
"Waste, all of you waste!" Charles used his special power, and the assistant, Philemon and others were all knocked away. Philemon felt a fishy and sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood with pieces of internal organs was spat out.
Charles was like a raging mad bull, waving his supernatural powers wildly, destroying the entire interrogation room before he stopped panting.
At this moment, one of Charles' eyes was bleeding profusely, and his face was covered with blood. Charles didn't care at all and didn't even wipe it off. His face covered with blood looked like a devil that had just crawled out of hell.
Charles took a long time to calm down and calm down his sudden anger. He looked down at Philemon and said coldly, "To be honest, Philemon, I am very disappointed with you and your group. I never thought that you could come back alive."
These words made Philemon's heart, which had originally held a glimmer of hope, sink to the bottom. Philemon asked in panic: "Commander-in-Chief Charles, isn't it a good thing that we are back alive?"
"It is indeed a good thing that you are back." Charles changed the subject, "But you should know in your heart what you betrayed to get the chance to come back. After you came back, instead of kneeling down and kowtowed to the entire M country to admit your mistakes, you also tried to deceive me and pretend to be a hero?"
"We didn't?" Philemon didn't know what went wrong. This shouldn't be the case. Heroes who sacrificed their lives for their country shouldn't be treated like this. "Commander-in-Chief Charles, is there any misunderstanding here?"
Charles sneered, "Misunderstanding, not at all, I think you won't cry until you see the coffin.
Tell me, what's going on with the treatment cabin at the Jing City base?"
Philemon and the team members looked at each other, totally unaware of what the treatment cabin Charles was talking about. Philemon said, "Gu Jinsheng doesn't allow us to contact outsiders. Even when we eat or go to the toilet, there are people watching us. What we have to do every day is to treat the injured psychics in the Jing City base. We are not allowed to sleep until we complete the task. So we don't know what a treatment cabin is."
"Quibbling." Charles waved his hand, and someone played the replay of the live broadcast from the Beijing base that had been recorded earlier to Philemon and the others.
After Philemon and the others finished reading, all the hair on their bodies stood up. Charles sneered and asked, "What else do you have to say? If you hadn't revealed the secret of cloning, how could those stupid Xia people have thought of it! It was you who leaked the top secret of the M country - cloning cure, which gave you the opportunity to survive in the Jing City base!"
"We are not, we didn't, we didn't say anything." Philemon said, "There is a very handsome man in their Jing City base. He used to be a psychic, but later his powers were abolished. He is so smart that he is almost a demon. He guessed everything himself."
Philemon had only heard of Ji An's name but didn't know him.
"Philimon, listen to what you said. Don't you think it's ridiculous? An ordinary person without psychic abilities is trash. How can he be so smart as to be a monster? Do you think I'm a fool?"
Philemon suddenly felt so powerless. At this moment, she suddenly realized that even if she had a hundred mouths, she couldn't explain it clearly; even if she had ten thousand reasons, she couldn't explain it clearly.
Charles said: "I don't need your sophistry, I just want the truth of the matter."
As Charles finished speaking, a dozen full-level psychics pushed the door open and walked in. These people were Philemon's former colleagues, and they had worked together before.
Philemon realized something, and she shook her head in horror, "No, Commander Charles, you can't do this to us! We are heroes, not prisoners!"
Philemon looked at his former friend and colleague, "Dela, you won't do this to me."
Della said coldly: "Those who sell out state secrets and betray their country are not worthy of being called by my name!"
"No need to waste time talking to her, just get started, she is already a waste and can't resist you."
"Okay." Della agreed immediately.
“NO, NO, Della, you can’t do this to me…” Philemon shook his head, tears streaming down his face.
"Phélimon, I can!" After saying that, Della released her mental power to invade Philemon's brain. Philemon wanted to resist, but she was just an ordinary person without any special powers and could not resist at all.
A psychic with full-level abilities no longer needs to rely on mind control. Instead, they can directly invade the invader's mind to look through the invader's brain memory and see what they want to see.
Especially now that Philemon has lost his superpowers, he is just an ordinary person and has no resistance in front of Della. Della's mental invasion of her is as easy as flipping through a book in her hand, and she can easily open all of Philemon's memories, including many memories that Philemon himself may have forgotten in the corner. As long as Della wants, she can easily see them.
As Della looked deeper into Philemon's memories, the pain on Philemon's face became more intense, and soon he was sweating profusely.
Della finally finished checking all of Philemon's memories, including the privacy that Philemon tried hard to hide. All of them were easily checked by Della, and then Della broke free from Philemon's memory. Philemon lay softly on the ground, in a dazed state, neither asleep nor dreaming.
"How's it going?" Charles asked.
Della shook her head. "There is no useful information. Philemon and the others have been forced by Gu Jinsheng to heal the psychics in their base these days. Some of them even lost their powers due to excessive consumption. They have never had any contact with the outside world, and have not heard any useful information."
"Bullshit!" Charles cursed, "What about the cloning treatment? Did they leak it?"
"No. It was a very handsome oriental man who guessed it." By flipping through Philemon's memory, Della could clearly see everything that happened in Philemon's memory, just like watching a movie. "The man himself said that he was once a psychic, but later his powers were wasted because of fighting. He is very smart, almost a demon, and he guessed everything."
Charles not only did not feel guilty for wrongly accusing Philemon and others, but he felt that Philemon and others were extremely incompetent, "a bunch of idiots who couldn't even keep a secret and didn't even know they were being tricked.
If they had used a little more brains, how could the Xia people know about cloning, and how could that damn deputy commander heal his broken leg!
He must have used cloning technology to create a clone, and then cut off the usable calf to replace it with his own. That must be it!"
Della comforted him, “It takes time for clones to grow, and the deputy commander of the Jing City base replaced the broken leg of a clone so quickly, he must have used special means.
The induction of healing abilities is not feasible at all, and it is very easy to cause genetic diseases or the collapse of abilities. They have not conducted in-depth research on these, and have not conducted clinical trials, so they must not know.
They only heard about cloning and naively thought that cloning could solve everything.
Stealing other people's things will definitely have a price to pay. Let's wait and see. The deputy commander of the Jingshi base will definitely get his comeuppance."
Charles said: "The Xia people are just a bunch of thieves. They stole our technology. I will never let them off!"
Della thought for a moment and said, "That person must have been an outstanding psychic. That's why he still possesses such extraordinary wisdom even after his powers were abolished. I suspect he is most likely a researcher who makes a living with his mental abilities. Maybe the nutritional supplements have something to do with him!"
Charles showed Della a photo, "A beautiful Oriental. Is this the person you saw in Philemon's memory?"
"Yes." Della was very sure. Della remembered this face very clearly, because even from the perspective of Western aesthetics, this face was very beautiful.
Although he does not conform to the aesthetic of oriental "beauty" that Europeans have always promoted, with squinty eyes and a flat nose.
But don’t the M people themselves know that that kind of appearance is not good-looking?
They know this, otherwise why are all the stars in their own country beauties with big eyes, double eyelids, deep and three-dimensional features, but when it comes to Oriental people, the aesthetic taste suddenly changes.
They just want to tame Orientals in this way, which is also a disguised humiliation.
"This person is called Ji An. He was informed by a researcher named Zhao Zhen from the Jing City base that we had contacted before. He said that this person is the inventor of space storage tools and nutrients."
Della gasped.
Charles said: "Our spies in the Jing City base wanted to contact him to ask about cloning, but they lost contact. Zhao Zhen couldn't be contacted either. I think he must have been exposed."
"Gu Jinsheng is very alert. In fact, we are very lucky to have obtained information about the creator of the nutrient."
"Really?" Charles showed a strange and perverted smile, "I have another good news. Maybe you will think that is a more fortunate thing?"
Della asked, "What?"
Charles said: "Zhao Zhen gave us news that Ji An was the partner of the commander-in-chief of the Third Base before coming to the Jing City Base. He was not so brilliant at that time. He only started to shine after escaping from the Third Base.
It is said that the reason why Ji An and the commander-in-chief of the Third Base fell out was because of a storage space necklace. It was this necklace that gave Ji An the direction for his research and allowed him to decipher the secret of the space storage item. "
"We are very lucky to have invited another person besides Ji An and the commander of the third base, who was also raised by Ji An himself but eventually became his enemy!" Charles clapped his hands, "Now let's invite this beautiful lady in!"
The person who came in was Tang Tang. She looked very embarrassed now, and was completely different from the glamorous woman in the Beijing base. She looked more than 20 years older, and people who didn't know her couldn't recognize that she was the arrogant girl in the third base.
Tang Tang's blindfold was taken off, and the rag in her mouth was removed. Before she could see the surrounding environment clearly, she said, "My brother is the partner of Gu Jinsheng, the commander of the Jingshi base. I am his sister who was raised by him. If you dare to touch me, I will let my brother talk to the commander-in-chief of the Jingshi base to cut off your nutritional supplements."
Charles was laughed at by Tang Tang's stupidity, "She's just a fool, forget it, don't worry about her, just get started."
"Yes." Della released her mental power to Tang Tang after receiving the order. Tang Tang was just an ordinary person, she couldn't see the mental power of the superpowers at all. Therefore, she was easily invaded by Della's mind without knowing what was going on.
Tang Tang is easier to invade than Philemon, a man whose superpowers have just been abolished. Her spiritual world is as barren as the wilderness. Della has never invaded such an easy brain.
Della thought she could easily find what she wanted in Tang Tang's brain, but in the end, Della encountered a powerful mental suggestion.
Della didn't dare to force her way in. She was afraid that if she did, she would trigger the mechanism of the person who planted the mental suggestion and cause Tang Tang to self-destruct. Not only would Tang Tang die, but Della would not be able to see anything and would most likely be affected. At the very least, her supernatural powers would be destroyed, and at worst, she would self-destruct.
Della's face was gloomy, and she withdrew from Tang Tang's memory. "She was planted with mental suggestion by someone. The mental power of the person who planted the mental suggestion is very strong. I dare not force my way in. If I force my way in, it may cause her to explode.
Not only will we not be able to see the hidden secrets, but Tang Tang and I may also be severely damaged by the mental power of the person who planted the mental suggestion, turning us into idiots, or even detonating the crystal core of the superpower."
Charles said to the other psychics in the room, "You all go and try it."
"Okay." All the psychics in the room took turns to look at it, and all gave the same answer as Della.
"Before Ji An's powers were wasted, he was just a low-level third-level psychic. If the psychic hint was planted by him, you, a bunch of full-level psychics, are helpless against the spirit planted by a low-level psychic. Are you all a bunch of trash?" Charlie roared angrily, "Waste, all of you, a bunch of trash, good-for-nothings!"
Della looked embarrassed. She explained, "Before, there was a big guy in Jing City Base who shot our level 6 psychic into an idiot with three arrows. I suspect they have special means to cultivate the mental strength of psychic psychics. So although Ji An's psychic ability level is low, his mental strength is very strong!"
"Don't make excuses for your incompetence. Don't I have a way to improve your abilities? Otherwise, do you think you can reach the maximum level so quickly without a constant supply of crystal cores?"
Della's face turned red after being scolded. She said to Charles, "Commander, please give us some time. We will definitely be able to find a way to crack Tang Tang's mental suggestion."
Charles said angrily: "Why don't you go and think about it? Take this stupid woman and go and think about it now!"
After everyone in the room left, Charles anxiously said to the people around him: "Bring me an eye patch, I need to contact Gu Jinsheng right now!"
"yes."
Gu Jinsheng had a rare chance to spend time with Ji An today. After dinner, the two of them were lying on the sofa and chatting when Charles called.
"It's Charles." Gu Jinsheng said.
"Why would he call you for no reason?" Ji An said, "The HSD commander-in-chief seems to have mania. He becomes like a mad cow after just three sentences!
Perhaps his maximum level superpower was achieved by absorbing the crystal cores of superpower users, and mania was just a sequelae.
He's not calling you to question you about those psychics in Philemon, right?
When he sent the people here, he should have understood that we would not let them go easily. We only destroyed their abilities and spared their lives. This is what the people of the Jing City base did in the spirit of humanitarianism. "
"You'll know once you pick up the phone." Gu Jinsheng answered the video call.
Charles, who has always paid special attention to his image, wore an eye patch for the first time today, covering half of his face.
Looking at the black eye patch, Gu Jinsheng was in a good mood. "Commander-in-Chief Charles, are your eyes injured? If your country doesn't have a cure, you are welcome to come to our country for treatment. The treatment cabin is a good choice. You can try it!"
Charles gnashed his teeth and said, "You Xia country are despicable thieves, and you Jingshi base are also despicable thieves! You stole our cloning technology and used it as your own new research project. I wonder how your people would react when they know that their commander-in-chief is a thief!"
"They'll probably think you're a lunatic!" Ji An didn't break into the video call, but deliberately said, "How could you think our treatment cabin is a plagiarism of your cloning treatment?
Don't you know how harmful your cloning therapy is?
Being unable to withstand the body's superpowers is a minor matter, but in serious cases it may lead to the collapse of superpowers, or a genetic disease?
Our treatment cabin won’t do that. It is a pure medical treatment method that does not require any supernatural powers, so there are no side effects. "
"This is impossible! How can such a thing exist in the world? Even if it does exist, it is impossible for your country to have developed it first. It should have been developed by our country first!" Charles asked again: "Who is the person next to you? The one who is talking, is it Ji An?"
Gu Jinsheng, who had been in a careless state, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Ji An's name from Charles.
Charles laughed, "It seems that I guessed it right. If your treatment cabin is real, that's great. I want its core technology now. Wait, there is also the core technology of nutrients and space storage props."
Gu Jinsheng sneered, "Charles, are you still dreaming?"
Charles was very proud and glanced at Gu Jinsheng with his one eye. "You don't want me to tell Ji An's secret? About his space necklace?"
