Chapter 20 Humans are really interesting
Tan Fu suddenly lost his temper, startling the temporary purifier on duty, as well as the guards outside.
The guards rushed in, and the purifier explained, "Dr. Qi has gone out on business," while hurriedly approaching her.
Tan Fu grabbed the "flower crown" and held it up, shrieking, "You're lying to me! Has she left? Is she never coming back?!"
"Don't come any closer! If you get any closer, I'll smash it!"
The purifier froze instantly; that neural access device was far too precious.
The guards didn't dare to approach rashly, and tried to explain and dissuade them, but to no avail.
Lan Jiarou rushed over, and Tan Shou arrived a little later.
Tan Shou was furious: "We've already located the last redirect node for that batch of data, and we'll be able to find the other party's domain name soon. What's gotten into you all of a sudden?!"
Tan Fu's gaze lingered on his face for a second, and that moment of penetrating coldness was not the look of a child at all.
Her voice had changed, and she screamed shrilly, "You've lied to me! I want Qi An back!"
If she doesn't come back, I'll... I'll...
Tan Fu pulled out an electric wire and made a gesture as if to put it in his mouth.
"Call Qi An back! Immediately! Right now!" Lan Jiarou's voice was also shrill.
The hall suddenly went dark as someone turned off the lights.
Tan Fu was stunned for a moment. Song Fanyu silently swept by like the wind, picked her up, and threw away the "flower crown" and the wire.
Meanwhile, someone from the logistics department called Qi An, and a guard rushed out to find Qi An himself.
Qi An strode into Wei Maochun's office. Wei Maochun called Lan Jiarou, but only received the following response:
"We're in a real emergency here, let's bring Dr. Qi back."
Wei Maochun was not about to let them go easily. Both sides were filled with anger, and the conversation almost turned into an argument.
Both sides had missions, and both were of a high level, resulting in a stalemate. In the end, the decision had to be made by Qi An.
One of them was on the scene, his gaze intense, while the other was on the phone, his expression somber. Both were watching Qi An intently.
Qi An leaned back involuntarily, inexplicably recalling the scene of her being on the street earlier.
Upon receiving the text message, Qi An immediately sent a message to "Little Monster Alliance Unit 3".
The reply came back: "Damn it, I knew it! They all want to take you away from me!"
Ugh! There are so many things to keep an eye on these past few days. I didn't even notice that jerk who kept asking about your past enhancement values until it was too late!
A long string of messy graffiti flooded the screen, instantly creating a sense of irritation.
But the graffiti was quickly deleted, and a message appeared in the chat box:
Wait for me a moment.
There was no follow-up to that sentence. Qi An turned off his phone, thinking about that "bitch who inquired about her past enhancement values."
Back at the old base, for three whole years, the name tag she wore around her neck clearly stated that her mental enhancement value was 7.
If her enhancement value doesn't increase, it's hard to explain her battle record; once it does increase, this bug will definitely occur.
Before coming to Base 1 in the North, Teacher Tang had mentioned this over the phone.
However, the memory that came to Qi An's mind was not because of the enhancement value, but because when she was waiting for news, she felt that she would definitely not be able to eat, so she might as well use the remaining money to buy gifts.
As soon as she mentioned it, Yang Yuning and Lin Jiaran both stared at her.
"Who are you buying it for?" the two asked in unison.
This feeling of being constantly on edge is exactly what I'm experiencing right now... but the pressure is much greater now!
Qi An suppressed his chaotic thoughts, a troubled expression appearing on his face. After a long while, he finally said:
“I think I’ll go to ‘Star Fortress’ instead, I’m just worried something might happen to the little girl.”
"Okay, Dr. Qi, come back as soon as possible..." the voice on the other end of the phone said immediately.
Wei Maochun pressed the button on the phone and hung up immediately.
She sat back in her office chair, her anger gradually subsiding, and said in a somewhat cold voice:
"I saw you were quite enthusiastic before, how come you're making a mistake now? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you miss it, you miss it!"
Qi Anxin thought to himself that some major battles concerning the safety of the base would truly be missed if missed.
But is it certain that there's only one chance for a real-world test?
Whether she can participate in the practical test depends on whether her strength is outstanding enough that someone would spare no expense to give her a test alone!
Wei Maochun was seriously considering whether to find another opportunity, or after this test, to find a way to hold a separate event for Qi An.
In the "White Tower" plan, the ideal candidate for the top position is not someone who can overpower all others, but someone with a strong and unbreakable foundation!
Behind every great power lies an oddity, but sometimes that oddity is simply an inexplicable kind of power...
How bizarre is it? How powerful is it?
Wei Maochun was not a timid person. In the sudden and drastic changes of her later life, she had already seen all the impermanence and extraordinary things and people.
After hearing Xu Hui's "casual" report, she became even more eager to find out the limits of Qi An's abilities!
Now... Wei Maochun waved his hand dismissively, "Let's go, let's go, don't regret it!"
The threat of "Don't regret it" was somewhat weak, and the old man, with his eyes closed, was already plotting a way to make amends.
Qi An quickly thanked them and said goodbye, then turned and left.
Once she leaves, it's confirmed that she won't be on the list of purifiers participating in tomorrow's battle.
The secretary sent the compiled list to the First Division, and Yao Du'an saw it immediately.
He frowned and immediately sent and collected information through multiple channels.
By the afternoon, he realized that it was that little girl who had gone crazy and dragged Qi An back.
On the one hand, they colluded with them to plan actions, and on the other hand, they kept a dangerous person who could sense pollution by their side.
"She did ask beforehand whether the fallen insects sent by the pioneers could mimic human forms. She asked the day before yesterday," Boss Jin said.
They whispered among themselves in that small, open shrine, amidst the sounds of bells and the smoke.
Tan Fu and the information team of the Fallen Insects already had a stable communication channel.
Tan Fu did ask about this the day before yesterday. She said she had someone she really liked and wanted to drag that person down with her to hell.
Can the companions you sent mimic human form? If not, you can ask the doctor for a drug that can put someone into a deep sleep.
She's so powerful, she might just become an Ash Priestess!
"You guys are probably craving her too, aren't you?" the girl said.
Of course, they would like to gain an extra sum of money.
However, Yao Du'an was very cautious. He still felt that Qi An's existence was dangerous and that this dangerous factor should be eliminated.
"Have the doctor give her the medicine," Yao Du'an said in a deep voice.
Underground at Xinglei, a doctor was examining Tan Fu's injuries.
The little girl was raised too delicately; even without sharp weapons, she managed to inflict bruises all over herself after struggling.
Doctors are essential.
The doctor is getting on in years and is about to retire because he has been diagnosed with ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and there are not enough medical resources available, causing his condition to progress extremely rapidly.
In the end times, he had no relatives, no other concerns or reliance on his heart, only work, and he existed in a daze, relying solely on this value that society needed.
Now that this chaotic existence was about to end, he felt lost and wandered into the small shrine in a daze.
"This shore is full of suffering. If you can be liberated sooner, it is as if you have reached the Pure Land on the other shore sooner."
You are much luckier than those who still have to struggle in this world.
"If you have people in need around you, why not advise them to let go?" said a lay Buddhist who was burning incense for the gods.
During a routine check-up, the doctor quietly asked the little girl, "Isn't mutation a way to find relief?"
"If you mutate and survive, you will gain freedom and power."
"If you could mutate and survive, and instead be able to venture into the vast world outside, would you be willing to mutate?"
It was this doctor who first asked Tan Fu these questions.
Under strict supervision, and given the girl's elusive and extremely perceptive nature, attempting to crack her communication protocol and make direct contact with her would be extremely dangerous.
The fallen insects may be traced in reverse, thus exposing their own information nest.
However, the Fallen Insects never expected that there would be a cult among humans that worshipped a black god.
By sheer chance, a reconnaissance squad encountered a powerful white priest.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, they are nothing more than meat on the White Priest's chopping board.
However, when the White Priest approached a certain piece of "meat," the trembling was a mixture of fear and immense excitement!
He trembled with excitement and lay prostrate on the ground.
He was still fighting against the pollution, but this fight was only so that he could catch a few more glimpses of that powerful creature.
With his lowly human eyes!
How much he revered and longed for it!
This White Priest is among the strongest of all White Priests. Like the Ash Priest, it can restrain its corrupted aura and approach a human.
It approached with great interest, and with its tentacles lifted the excited man's chin, revealing a small black statue hanging from the man's neck.
That's really interesting!
Humans are really interesting!
After countless clashes, the Fallen Insects' information team is beginning to suspect that the Guardian Starlink is not AI, as it exhibits obvious human-like characteristics.
Thus, the first thing the Black God Cult among humans conspired with, along with the divine messengers and those "pioneers" from the other world, was to "save" Tan Fu.
The initial temptation was carried out by the doctor who had converted to the religious order.
The little girl was extremely surprised when he first asked her.
But nothing happened to the doctor afterwards, and no one investigated him.
The second question was even more direct, and the little girl on the hospital bed stared blankly, a tear rolling down her cheek.
She nodded gently.
Then online communication began, and the young girl actively cooperated, establishing a solid communication channel.
The arrow is already on the bowstring.
The small shrine that the cult had made public remained peaceful and serene, while in the basement of the hidden shrine, "This Shore Abode," a small hall was crowded with people.
They were all dressed in black, and in the dim candlelight, they looked like ghosts.
Each of these people could have a tragic backstory if you picked them out.
No matter how strong the instinct for survival may be, the urge to self-destruct is always a constant companion.
The white priest in the shrine stood with his head down, listening to the various complicated arrangements and plans, but he seemed a little distracted and then smiled.
Ah, humans are so interesting!
The thick fog of the night gradually dissipated, and the dawn of April 10th broke.
Tan Fu climbed out of the soft, cloud-like bed, and the words "Happy Birthday!" instantly filled the entire crystal house.
