Chapter 9 Temporary Mission
Qiu Ting's scream was caused by her own excessively high level of contamination.
After a harsh and angry accusation, a sliver of clarity returned to her mind, and she immediately shut her mouth, biting her tongue hard until it bled.
There is no danger, because the other second batch of purifiers outside are also very strong, and any one of them can help her suppress the pollution.
But Qiu Ting refused any help and took two small red pills by herself, meditating alone.
She was quick to suppress her own pollution levels through meditation; in just 15 minutes, when she opened her eyes again, her pupils were already converging.
When Qiu Ting finished her meditation and walked out of the purification room, the other three were already in the small hall.
This concludes the first round of testing.
The performance of the first four purification engineers was actually quite amazing, which surprised Chen Huaizhi, who was monitoring the situation. He felt that the project was promising and the peak of his career was just around the corner!
The second batch of purifiers were also really caught up in it, and they all persevered with all their might.
The shortest time was one of the three 9s, from the Central Plains Base No. 1.
The second to last place is quite surprising; it's Xu Hui.
Of course, the most surprising result was Qi An, who took first place with a slight lead of 20 seconds.
The blue-clad purifier held this group in high esteem and said with a smile, "You purifiers have worked hard. Go back and get some rest. Tomorrow, the Alliance will treat you all to a meal at the best restaurant in the base."
It was indeed very hard work. They finished cleaning up all the wounded patients in the hospital in one afternoon, which saved a lot of work for the regular cleaning staff.
Everyone meditated in the round hall for a while to completely suppress their pollution levels before dispersing.
As dusk approached, most of the out-of-town purification practitioners returned to their lodgings to rest, but the two local purification practitioners didn't forget to lead the way, taking everyone back to the mental hospital.
The setting sun was about to be pierced by the mountain peak, and the surrounding sky gradually darkened.
Xu Hui glanced at Qiu Ting, who also had a somber face, and sighed, "That Dr. Qi is really something, he actually managed to beat you in purification endurance!"
Qiu Ting pursed her lips and remained silent, her expression darkening further.
Xu Hui added, "Her enhancement value is only 9, isn't that a bit unreasonable? Does she... know anyone?"
She used to be from the Central Plains Base No. 3. Didn't you get to know a few people from there when you were on a mission before?
Why don't we ask her about it?
The pale blue light of the sky reflected in Xu Hui's raised eyes, brightening her worries and darkening her expectations.
But Qiu Ting tilted her head and said, "9 wins and 10 losses isn't entirely unreasonable. Wang Yihan from the Southwest Base No. 2 lasted longer than you."
Xu Hui choked, her face turning red in an instant!
“Wang Yihan has been in the military for a long time, and Qi An has participated in many major battles. The purification environment on the battlefield is harsh. They have been trained in such environments for a long time, so it is not impossible for them to be able to defeat conventional purification in a way that is a dimensional reduction,” Qiu Ting said. Her voice was not relaxed, and there was also frustration in it.
The top floor of the "White Tower," the commander among the Purifiers, the strongest Purifier on the continent... who wouldn't want to be that?
Because she was so eager to become a doctor, she got anxious in the cleanroom and embarrassed herself for no reason!
"Losing is losing. There's still another round of practical testing. I'm going back to training." Qiu Ting turned at the intersection and walked straight away.
Xu Hui exclaimed "Hey!" but failed to stop the person.
As dusk deepened, the light blue turned into a dark blue. Xu Hui stood there, her eyes growing increasingly dark, and she opened her mouth, uttering something unintelligible.
......
Qi An and his companion on the other side seemed quite at ease.
"At least you stopped immediately when Qiu Ting couldn't hold on any longer."
"You and I were only two or three minutes apart, right? That difference can be explained by battlefield experience, evolutionary potential, and the like," Lin Jiaran said.
They were among the first to be purified, and the purification room was so well soundproofed that she felt she couldn't ask Qi An for more. So, they temporarily reconciled on this matter.
She was full of energy. After resting for an hour, she dragged Qi An out to wander around the streets and alleys, looking for delicious food.
When these two girls play together, their happiness is pure and simple. Their laughter is like wind chimes swaying in the spring breeze, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, spreading all the way from one end of the street to the other.
At the end of the street was a cluster of residential buildings of varying heights, densely packed and mixed together. Qi An looked up and saw an antique-style shop downstairs.
“This Shore... Residence, what a poetic name,” she remarked.
Lin Jiaran also looked up and complained, "It's still early before curfew, and this shop doesn't even have a light bulb at the entrance. It's so dark!"
"It's a restaurant. Shall we have dinner here?" Qi An asked.
“…Okay.” Lin Jiaran thought the shop was a bit dark and didn’t really like it, but since Qi An liked it, she liked it too, and stepped in first.
Qi An was about to take a step, but before he could enter the door, he received a message on his phone.
[Dr. Qi, this is the Purification Alliance headquarters. Please come to the headquarters building before 8 PM tonight.]
Qi An frowned and first glanced at the source of the information.
It was the official channel that sent her the task notification number.
Qi An pulled Lin Jiaran back: "Did you receive the mission text message?"
Lin Jiaran was also taken aback, and took out her phone. "No, I don't have it."
Qi An's doubts deepened. He stood on the street corner and sent a message to Lan Xingxing:
[The Purification Alliance contacted me in the middle of the night, do you know why?]
Qi An waited for 10 minutes but received no reply.
The night breeze was slightly cool, and Lin Jiaran, as if feeling a bit cold, hugged Qi An's arm.
"Could it be that your performance during the day was too outstanding, and you've aroused suspicion?"
He said this with a hint of anger, "I told you we should keep a low profile!"
Qi An's suspicions churned for a few minutes, but he remained calm and composed.
She sent a message to Qin Tianshuo about it, and then discussed with Lin Jiaran about canceling the dinner plans.
Lin Jiaran had no choice but to agree; it was already 7 o'clock.
The two bought some ready-made steamed buns and pickles, ate them, and hurriedly returned to their apartment.
Qin Tianshuo had just returned to his dorm after shopping and was about to call You Zi when he received Qi An's message. He jumped up immediately.
Accompanied by Lin Jiaran, Qi An went downstairs, walked a few steps, and entered the gate of the mental hospital.
There were people waiting at the door; they were one of the purification masters who had received Qi An that day.
Qi An entered the clean white building again.
I only had a quick glance in the morning and didn't get a chance to go upstairs. This time, the purifier who received her led her straight to the top floor and into Wei Maochun's office.
The old lady's silver hair shone brightly under the light, and her eyes were also very bright as she carefully examined Qi An.
As Qi An approached, she smiled and said, "My surname is Wei. I'm retired, but I occasionally come back to take charge of things."
Qi An immediately recognized that this person's face resembled that of a young man in a photograph outside, and hurriedly shook hands with him in a solemn and polite manner.
She tried to hide her nervousness, but in front of the old man, it seemed like nothing more than a veil trying to conceal it.
Wei Maochun smiled and waved his hand: "Sit down, relax. It was my fault for calling people back to work so late at night."
But the matter was rather urgent.
Qi An was slightly taken aback. An urgent matter? An urgent, unexpected matter?
"Those who have been purified by you today all say that your purification is like a mental massage, which is enjoyable."
I've looked at your file, and it says that in addition to sensing fallen insects, you also have the ability to soothe the mind.
Dual superpowers are rare indeed; your generation truly has a wealth of talent!
Wei Maochun sat up straighter: "The next round of testing is just a few days away, so I have a new task for you."
The mission is to purify a person.
