Chapter 546 Rogue
Someone signaled the psychic to take action, making Ji Changqing unable to resist so that he could be taken back.
However, the psychic was hesitant and kept shaking his head in refusal. He was filled with resistance, believing that such coercive measures should not be used against him.
Seeing this, the leader turned and began to persuade Ji Changqing.
Half an hour later, Ji Changqing's mood gradually calmed down. When others tried to approach him, he did not show any aggression, but remained on guard. He frowned slightly and held the person in his arms tightly.
Finally, under the half-guidance and half-hostage of the vines, Ji Changqing was surrounded by the crowd and walked down the stairs, holding He Rui and boarding a bus that had been waiting for a long time.
Inside the car, he placed He Rui on his lap, still holding her tightly. Leaders and military personnel had deliberately chosen seats next to each other, patiently asking about their well-being. Ji Changqing's attitude was cold, and he might not respond to even one of his ten questions, but compared to the previous tense situation, at least they were able to communicate.
The accompanying doctor and healing user offered to examine their injuries. Ji Changqing immediately buried He Rui's head deeper into his arms, using body language to clearly refuse any contact, his possessiveness striking.
He Ruize was like a big puppet throughout the whole process, allowing him to manipulate him.
"Does your friend really not need treatment?" The healing ability user pressed on, "If he's sick, we can..."
Before he finished speaking, Ji Changqing had already guarded the person more closely with vigilance, and his whole body exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers".
Everyone looked at each other and had to give up.
After the convoy entered the shelter, they were taken directly to a single-family villa in the inner area. It was fully equipped, and people were constantly bringing in drinking water and supplies, quickly filling up several cubic meters. In this era of scarcity, the high level of treatment offered by the shelter was astonishing.
Residents of the inner district who were passing by saw the excitement and initially cast envious and jealous glances, but when they recognized the outstanding face in the center of the crowd, they instantly became fanatically excited.
The crowd began to stir, all trying to get to the front.
They would always remember that fateful night. When the beast tide struck, those ferocious mutant beasts that had fought humans vanished without a trace in an instant.
Even more miraculous was that after a burst of music, all injuries, whether minor or serious, were miraculously healed. The wounded, lying on the ground near death, vaguely saw two dark spots in the sky that looked like human figures.
Afterwards, the rumor of "God's descent" spread in the shelter, and people believed that it was God's mercy on the world.
But officials quickly clarified the truth: a hero had responded to the shelter's call for help, specifically to assist those in danger. Legends about this mysterious and powerful figure spread, until one day, a voice echoed in everyone's minds, revealing that the hero had lost his power and was facing harsh treatment from the shelter...
Seeing the legendary figure in person, everyone was excited. People whispered and speculated whether his abilities had been restored or whether he was being persecuted.
Seeing this, the shelter leader quickly directed two police officers to maintain order. He tentatively suggested, "How about assigning a few more psychic bodyguards? We're worried about your safety, too."
"No need." Ji Changqing frowned and refused.
"Then arrange at least one person?" the leader insisted. "The public is too enthusiastic, and I'm afraid something might happen..."
"I'm tired and want to rest." Ji Changqing lowered his eyes and began to drive people away.
Everyone tactfully stopped talking.
Before leaving, the leader was still worried and added in a low voice, "If you need anything, please feel free to contact the police outside. The institute is also ready. If you wish, we can fully assist you in recovering your abilities."
After saying this, he took one last look at the silent Ji Changqing, gently closed the door, and left the second floor of the small house with the others.
He Rui held on for a long time, pretending to be unconscious for dozens of minutes with his brain empty and drowsy, and then he "slowly woke up".
The whole process was a torture for him.
If he were alone, he might be able to remain calm and perfectly control all the subtle expressions when pretending to be asleep.
But with Brother Ji right beside him, the sense of security made him want to laugh all the time. It was especially unbearable when Brother Ji was showing off his acting skills.
He almost couldn't hold it in when the other party yelled "Give it back!!!"
In order to suppress his laughter and avoid being discovered, he could only bury his face deep in the other person's arms.
As soon as he "woke up", He Rui immediately opened the mental defense shield, tightly wrapping the entire second floor of the building.
The principle of this defense is simple—it simply creates an independent spiritual space, driving out all external spiritual forces. It's like adding an invisible barrier to a house, blocking prying eyes and keeping out any spiritual tentacles that try to approach.
However, He Rui could clearly sense that there were at least a dozen spiritual powers outside that were sneakily trying to touch and approach his spiritual power, and seemed to want to get in.
As soon as his protective shield was formed, he rudely pushed aside all the peeping mental powers.
The abilities of Evolvers are varied and almost no two are exactly alike. Even within the same spiritual system, each person's abilities are slightly different.
According to Ji Changqing, even those with so-called "clairvoyance" abilities essentially achieved remote viewing through the extension of their mental power. Therefore, He Rui's mental defense was also effective against this kind of prying.
Of course, his defense is not indestructible - if he encounters a powerful spiritual evolver who forcibly breaks through, he may not be able to hold on completely.
But He Rui had already prepared for a counterattack.
Once someone dares to attack, he can follow the opponent's mental power, use the BGM to accurately locate the opponent, and give the opponent a magic sound that pierces his ears.
After all, if the other party attacked first, he would have the right to fight back.
Although these prying mental forces did not show any obvious malice at the moment, they were as annoying as a group of buzzing flies.
They neither left nor attacked, but just clung to his mental defenses, like a group of idlers eavesdropping at other people's doorsteps with their meals in hand.
He Rui couldn't stand it any longer, so he simply extended a few mental tentacles from his defenses and threw powerful blows at those prying mental forces one by one.
It is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
This trick really worked, and several sensible mental forces immediately retreated in shame.
But there are always a few shameless guys. Since mental power cannot communicate directly, He Rui can only continue to use this primitive way of "communication".
He continued to slap with his mental power for more than ten rounds, and finally drove away six more stubborn elements.
The remaining few were completely unmoved, and no matter how He Rui humiliated them, they remained motionless. Each of them received no less than thirty slaps, yet they still stood there stubbornly, neither angry nor aggressive, like a group of shameless psychic hooligans.
He Rui struggled for a long time before finally giving up. Faced with this scoundrel who didn't fight back or talk back, he really had no other choice but to roll his eyes.
