Chapter 276, Strength Overwhelms
After confirming the next plan with Pei Qing, Si Xu went downstairs to find his little girl.
Walking to the end of the corridor, he saw a little girl sitting upright in a chair and drinking tea quietly in the glass house in the garden.
Huo Zhigui was talking to Huo Lingyin, both of them were smiling, and the silent Jiang Ran looked a little out of place.
Si Xu knocked lightly on the glass door three times.
The little girl turned her head to look at him.
Her empty eyes suddenly lit up. She put down the cup and ran to his side in two steps. She naturally took his hand and said softly, like a spoiled child, "You're here, Si Xu."
He gently scratched the tip of her nose: "Let's go."
"good."
She responded obediently, turned around and said goodbye to Huo Zhijue politely.
"Are you leaving soon?" Huo Zhiju's gaze shifted from him to the little girl. Her fingers intertwined unnaturally as she asked tentatively, "How about staying for dinner?"
The girl politely declined: "We have to visit a friend, so we won't bother you any further."
She treated the man politely and seemed to really respect her, so he nodded as a greeting to the man.
As he left with his little girl, he could feel the woman's eyes fixed on him until they left the garden.
…
Knowing that Si Xu was going to look for Chu Yuan next, Pei Xiao told them Chu Yuan's current whereabouts in advance.
The two of them strolled around the Dongchao base casually, and it was already late when they arrived at the community where Chu Yuan's apartment was located.
They were attacked at a corner of the road.
Those people came prepared, but they didn't know Si Xu's strength, so before they had the chance to display their strength, they were pinned to the ground by Si Xu and unable to move.
Jiang Ran circled around those people: "One, two, three, four... eight people, and they are all fourth-level psychics."
In the last year of the world, although a group of fifth-level psychics emerged in various bases, fourth-level psychics were still the main combat force.
Eight fourth-level psychics were sent out at once, with complementary abilities and tacit cooperation. It was obvious that they were going to kill the two of them.
Jiang Ran smacked his lips. "Si Xu, what powerful figure have you offended?"
"have no idea."
The good mood of shopping with his girlfriend was ruined. Si Xu deliberately increased the strength when using his supernatural power. Several of the weaker ones were squeezed by the constantly shrinking space and coughed up blood.
But none of them begged for mercy, and all eight of them gritted their teeth and endured it.
"It seems they are not afraid of death." Jiang Ran touched his chin and suggested, "Si Xu, why don't you break each of their hands and feet? That way, they won't be able to use their superpowers to harm others."
The girl spoke of the cruelest flower in the most innocent tone, and her confused look made it difficult to tell whether she was joking or serious.
Si Xu thought for a moment: "Well, that's a good idea."
Among the eight people with special abilities, there was a child who had just turned sixteen. When he heard this, he couldn't help but change his expression.
When the person who arranged for them to come here said that one of them was a space-based mutant with no combat ability, and the other was an ordinary person, so he applied to come here.
So, why is the combat effectiveness of this space-based psychic so high?
He had only just turned sixteen... Broken arms and legs? Even if he was a person with special abilities, losing both arms and legs would make him no different from a cripple. Would the boss be willing to support such a useless person?
Won't.
He would become an abandoned pawn, tossed aside at will, and return to the days when he was at the mercy of others.
He doesn't want this.
The young man looked at the captain beside him for help, but saw that the other party also had a face full of fear and helplessness, which shattered the last bit of hope in his heart.
"I'll help you pick one." The girl didn't want to let them go just like that. She continued to circle around them, "I'll see which one is the ugliest, and you can pinch that one."
Si Xu had no objection: "You choose."
They knew that the girl was probably just trying to scare them, but in the face of absolute power, no matter who the girl's eyes fell on, that person couldn't help but tremble.
"It's too dim here, I can't see their appearance clearly." Jiang Ran muttered, "Forget it, I won't be picky anymore. You can kill them all. Anyway, no matter how much I pick, the result will be the same in the end."
Si Xu hummed.
“Crack.”
There was a soft sound in the air, and someone couldn't help but howl.
"Hey, what's your name?" Jiang Ran squatted down and patted the man's face, laughing, "You were scared like this with just a noise. How dare you come and attack us?"
The man was slapped twice and subconsciously stopped howling: his hands are still there, his feet are still there... and the one who just made the sound was...
He looked around and didn't see anyone injured.
"Don't look, Si Xu hasn't made a move yet." Jiang Ran picked up a small wooden stick and poked the boy's face. "If you don't want to be twisted, then tell us who arranged for you to come here?"
"I..." The boy's voice was still shaking when he started, "I...I can't say it."
He lowered his head, pressed his forehead against the concrete floor, and stopped looking at Jiang Ran.
I said, going back would mean death.
Jiang Ran sighed: "Since you guys won't tell me, I'll just guess."
As soon as she said this, Si Xu knew that she had already made up her mind - she was just enjoying the pleasure of forcing the enemy into a dead end step by step.
"It's actually pretty easy to guess—this is our first time at the Dongchao base, and we just arrived today. We've only offended one person. When the Shi family sent you here, they didn't tell you that the person they wanted you to deal with was the head of the Xiling base's superpower team?"
Anyone who can become the chief of the base's superpower team is naturally not an ordinary superpower person.
The boy, whose mind was a little confused by fear, widened his eyes and blurted out, "Nonsense! The boss told us he's a space-based psychic!"
"What's wrong with the Space Department? They've been beaten to the ground, and you still look down on them?" Jiang Ran laughed at him, "So, Shi Yuji really arranged for you to come here? Haha."
She was a little suspicious of Pei Qing at first, but seeing the reactions of these people, she knew it must be the Shi family.
"Look, I've guessed it all. Just give me the correct answer."
Never having encountered such an interrogation before, the group looked at each other and no one spoke for a while.
"Silence is acquiescence." Jiang Ran waved his hand. "I'll let you go back and tell Mr. Shi, who arranged for you to come here, that in the face of absolute strength, conspiracies and tricks are useless. We're busy today, so we'll go back to him for advice in a couple of days."
Not expecting the two men to let them go so easily, the group silently got up.
"Thank you both for showing mercy." The team leader hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his gratitude.
"You're welcome." Jiang Ran responded magnanimously, "Let me tell you, your boss is unreliable. Instead of following a boss like that and waiting for death, Xiling Base welcomes you to come and realize your ambitions at any time."
The psychic who escaped death: "..."
…
In the Pei family study, Pei Qing casually slammed the documents Secretary Jin handed over on the table and sneered: "I've been too indulgent towards them lately."
The two men's actions became more and more out of control. They even arranged people to attack Si Xu in the Dongchao base without telling him.
Idiots! They haven't heard of Professor Si from Xiling Base, so why don't they go and ask around?
idiot!
