Chapter 19 Acids Are Not All the Same
One of them openly expressed their jealousy, while the other subtly did so, both eyeing Qi An with predatory intent.
Logically speaking, Qi An should not answer the question "Who is this person?"
According to confidentiality regulations, she cannot disclose any explicit or implicit information about Tan Fu to outsiders.
Therefore, she shouldn't have said that these were gifts bought for other people.
But Qi An spoke up, and facing the acidic water that had already soaked up to her chest, she raised her hand and said:
I bought it for a girl.
She only has one birthday a year, so she really needs these things.
I have 200 contribution points left in my card, I'll treat you all to dinner!
"You should reply to the alliance's message first." Lin Jiaran turned slightly and snorted.
Qi An was slightly taken aback: "The Alliance is looking for me? What's up?"
"The practical test of the 'White Tower' project is scheduled for tomorrow, and the Alliance is naturally asking you to confirm your participation," Lin Jiaran said.
As she was speaking, Qi An received a text message on her phone, which was indeed a notification for the practical test.
It happens to be tomorrow, April 10th.
......
Yao Du'an drew a small wavy line on the electronic calendar for the date April 10th.
This is the day of action, but before it begins, he must prune away the unwanted obstacles.
This "detail" is undoubtedly Qi An, a person with the supernatural ability of "fell insect perception" who survived several major battles.
So the fallen insects in the 43rd mountain were discovered, and a squad under their division was to launch an ambush.
This battle has an intelligence advantage and is less dangerous, but it involves a significant number of troops, which is just the right time to complete a practical test of the Purification Alliance's "White Tower" plan.
Didn't this unexpected branch naturally extend outwards?
Yao Du'an had someone call the Purification Alliance headquarters, urging them to provide a list of participating purifiers as soon as possible.
......
At the junction of the stairs between the second and third floors of the Alliance headquarters, Xu Hui was standing.
She rubbed her fingertips against the uneven surfaces of the wooden railings, hesitating whether to go upstairs to Wei Maochun's office.
She's been very busy these past few days.
Because of Qiu Ting's lack of cooperation, she had to contact the Central Plains No. 3 Purification Alliance herself.
Of course, she couldn't call their official number directly, but things were easier than she thought.
Now that Starlink has opened up its traffic, many websites have emerged from the public, including academic websites, various professional forums, and cross-base trading platforms.
Xu Hui found a purifier from the Central Plains Base No. 3 on a website called "White Tribe".
This person works at the base's military hospital and has the ID "Fuzi who survived a great calamity".
Perhaps because she was a survivor of the great disaster at the Central Plains Base No. 3, she spoke of Qi Anlai with boundless admiration.
However, because she admired Qi An so much, she knew his resume like the back of her hand, which led Xu Hui to discover a blind spot:
The man said that Qi An had come to the Central Plains Base No. 3 four years ago and worked as a regular purifier for three years, always maintaining an enhancement value of only 7 as an intermediate purifier.
However, Xu Hui had someone check Qi An's electronic file, which clearly stated that she had already been promoted from 7 to 8 four years ago, and only from 8 to 9 last year!
Xu Huixiang inquired about "Fuzi" and also found a purification specialist from the Central Plains Base No. 3 on the website to verify their statements, further solidifying this blind spot.
Either Qi An's records are fake, or her abilities are fake!
Of course, she had witnessed Qi An's strength firsthand, so the records must be fabricated.
One possibility is that when Qi An entered the Central Plains Base No. 3, his enhancement value was 8, but for some reason it was disguised as 7.
Another possibility is that Qi An's enhancement level rose two levels in just one year, which was too alarming, so the file was changed.
Xu Hui was unsure which of the two speculations was stranger.
I can't think of a reason for the first one, but the second one is really weird and scary!
She wanted to add "Fuzi's" Red Conch account and encouraged her to contact the director of their base alliance branch.
Even ordinary purification practitioners don't have the authority to access other people's files; only very senior purification practitioners or directors do.
There might be something wrong with the directors of the Central Plains Base No. 3.
But "Fu Zi" refused, saying that no matter what, Qi An was her goddess, and that it was a fact that Qi An saved the base.
She wouldn't dig up the goddess's dark history; that's called backstabbing!
These words made Xu Hui feel a little uncomfortable, but she couldn't dig any further.
Because all the other Central Plains Purifiers she found rejected her.
Some people said they couldn't remember, but the testing equipment at the base wasn't very accurate at the time, so some people simply refused to participate.
One of them, who was initially very eager to investigate the matter, suddenly stopped responding. The change in attitude was so drastic, as if her account had been hacked!
This made Xu Hui feel even more uneasy.
In any case, there's something fishy about Qi An's file.
Xu Hui knew that Old Wei had arrived at headquarters that morning and was now in his office. All she had to do was go upstairs and knock on the door to expose the matter.
With Mr. Wei's connections, the truth or falsehood can be easily verified with a simple investigation.
If it's true that Qi An's file was falsified, even if it's just for minor reasons, it still leaves a stain on her record at headquarters. If it's something serious...
Xu Hui couldn't imagine what could be so serious, but she had a strong intuition that "this is no small matter."
As she was thinking, her fingertip was suddenly pricked by a protruding splinter.
Xu Hui withdrew her hand and gently rubbed it, only to feel that the entanglement in her heart was brought even closer to her.
Her dilemma was that she had to go and complain in person.
All Qiu Ting knows is work and meditation, training her mental strength through work and meditation! She's like a rock in a latrine!
Xu Hui only managed to sort out the information close to noon. If it had been a little earlier, she could have told Yang Ying.
Yang Ying was able to go directly to Old Wei's house to complain!
Xu Hui was not familiar with the other purification masters from other places, and they were not familiar with the Alliance headquarters either.
She had to go by herself.
Even if the source of the information is reasonable, she will inevitably leave a bad impression on Old Wei that she was "scheming".
Xu Hui rubbed her fingertips harder and harder, and the bitter resentment in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
She took a deep breath and went upstairs.
As she expected, Old Wei was very surprised to hear the news.
But to her surprise, Old Wei's surprise was not strong, as if he had already noticed some of Qi An's abnormality.
Xu Hui was unsure whether to be happy or apprehensive, and then something even more unexpected happened.
She received a cryptic look from Old Wei, responded, and went out. There she saw Qi An striding over from the other end of the corridor.
Xu Hui instinctively hid in the darkness, but Qi An still saw her, nodded to her, and then knocked on the door of Old Wei's office.
Xu Hui didn't leave. She waited outside for a while and vaguely heard Qi An say, "I probably won't be able to go to the practical test tomorrow."
Xu Hui's eyes widened slightly.
What the hell? She knew that an ambiguous, unverified guess couldn't stop Qi An from participating in tomorrow's test; she was just setting the stage.
But Qi An himself didn't want to go?
Did she even realize what kind of opportunity this was?!
A surge of joy welled up in Xu Hui's heart, and she almost leaned against the door!
But then the secretary opened the door: "Dr. Xu, why are you still here?"
Xu Hui almost missed her target and quickly took a step back: "I...I dropped something and picked it up."
"If you find it, just leave. Many things here with Elder Wei involve secrets."
"If you accidentally overhear that, you might be in trouble," the secretary said.
Xu Hui smiled and went downstairs under the secretary's wary gaze.
When Wei Chunmao heard Qi An's words, her brows furrowed much more deeply than when she heard the news about Xu Hui. She asked, "Why?"
"The comrades from 'Xinglei' just came over and said that he was making a huge fuss about me."
She's become a bit dependent on me. Tomorrow is her birthday, and I promised to spend time with her. If I disappear for even a day, I'm afraid... Qi An frowned as well.
Wei Maochun's expression was displeased: "Live-fire testing is about assessing fighter jets. We finally encountered a suitable battle, and now it's being ruined by a child's tantrum."
She immediately called 'Star Base's' office.
However, the underground central layer of Star Fortress was indeed very noisy.
Tan Fu woke up in the morning and was already unhappy when she didn't see Qi An. She was working in the morning, at a critical moment in tracking the pollution points, when she suddenly started to lash out.
All the clones suddenly retracted, and she snatched the crown-like device off her head. The little girl kicked away the soft chair and screamed angrily:
"Where is Qi An? I need to see her! Now! Right now!"
