The future is promising. The future is promising.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Tu Ran changed into a neutral-style outfit, put a baseball cap, mask, and sunglasses into her backpack, and especially took the "perfect body" inner elixir and went out.

After taking the suspended tram and getting off in the town next to the black market, Tu Ran chose a secluded alley, put on a baseball cap, mask, and sunglasses, and then put on a coat of a different color over his clothes before walking towards the small clinic designated by Xie Xu.

As I stepped into the clinic, the pungent smell of cheap disinfectant still hit my nose.

The young man named Xiaojiu was still sitting in front of the computer desk, fiddling with something.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside, he didn't even raise his head, and continued with the same rhetoric: "Several illnesses, big or small, all cost 10,000 federal coins. There is no guarantee that the treatment will be successful. If you want to be treated, pay a deposit of 9,000 federal coins first. If you don't want to be treated, leave immediately."

"It's me." Tu Ran said lightly.

Xiao Jiu immediately looked up, recognized the outfit at a glance, and hurried over to greet him, "It's you, long time no see."

Tu Ran smiled and said, "Long time no see."

"Brother Xie is already downstairs, you can go ahead."

"Yeah." Tu Ran walked alone to the narrow compartment at the back and pressed the mechanism on the beautiful woman's lips. A secret passage slowly appeared in front of her.

She clapped her hands, and the not-so-sensitive voice-controlled light lit up.

Tu Ran walked down the stairs slowly.

The lights in the training ground below were on today. Unlike what people thought were the many men of Xie Xu surrounding here, today Xie Xu was the only one in the entire underground space.

He was sitting at a table in a transparent glass room above the space, flipping through a thick book of bound materials.

Hearing Tu Ran's footsteps, he raised his head and waved at her.

Motioned for her to go up.

Tu Ran walked towards the stairs leading to the transparent glass house.

The stairs are also transparent.

Stepping on it is like stepping on nothingness.

Even when he entered the glass house, Xie Xu was still looking at his subordinates' information.

Tu Ran took a glance but couldn't see the words clearly.

She looked around. This glass room was much more spacious than she had imagined. Two people standing here did not feel crowded at all. The view was wide and they could overlook the entire underground space.

Seeing her coming up, Xie Xu closed the documents in his hand and put them aside.

He raised his head slightly, and looked at her with his dark blue eyes, "What is it?"

Tu Ran was not in a hurry to hand over the inner elixir to him, but asked, "Why does the federal government suddenly want to use a memory reader?"

Xie Xu crossed his slender hands and said in a light voice, "It's just as you thought."

Inner elixir?

"How did they find out?" Tu Ran stared at Xie Xu.

"On the third day after the large alien capture device in Regaken State was built, the troops stationed there captured a frog alien. This frog alien had evolved to a high level of intelligence. After being sent to the research institute, its calls were analyzed and deciphered, and it was found that it was begging for mercy from humans. It said that it was willing to reveal a secret within the threshold in order to gain its own safety."

Xie Xu paused, raised his eyebrows and looked at Tu Ran, "You should know what the secret is, right?"

Tu Ran didn't comment. Xie Xu didn't expect her to speak, so he continued, "That frog species said that some species with extremely high talents within the threshold can evolve an ability that transcends nature and the entire species, which is what we call superpowers."

"Those alien species with superpowers condense this power into something called 'Inner Pill' and store it in their bodies."

Xie Xu sneered, "Inner elixir? Something that appeared in martial arts stories from ancient times actually appeared in the real world."

For the second world with highly developed technology, such magical things are indeed difficult to understand.

When Tu Ran first learned that she could gain superpowers by eating the inner elixir, she was also surprised, but then she thought, she could travel to another world, so superpowers were nothing new, so she quickly accepted this fact.

If there are countless worlds in the universe, then each world may be different.

Tu Ran always believed that her hometown was the first world. Compared with the federal government, the technology was not very advanced, but the living standards of ordinary people were very high, nature had not suffered irreversible damage, and there was a place for species other than humans to live.

The federal government is in the second world, high technology, low-end life.

The threshold is the third world, which is like the prehistoric era, with giant beasts running rampant and possessing supernatural powers that cannot be explained by technology.

She has seen three different worlds, so how can she be sure that there are only these three worlds in the universe?

The more he knew, the more Tu Ran believed that there would be countless life forms and countless worlds in the universe.

Each world has its own special features, and there are also things that other worlds cannot understand.

Inner elixir is the special feature of the world within the threshold.

"When did you know about this thing called inner elixir?" Xie Xu suddenly turned the topic to Tu Ran.

"Hmm..." Tu Ran pursed her lips lightly, "I knew it a long time ago."

"It was on the farm in Regaken State? Did the hook snake tell you?"

Tu Ran thought to herself that this guy’s guess was pretty accurate.

"……Um."

"So your sudden recovery of memory was due to that inner pill?"

Tu Ran closed her mouth and looked at Xie Xu warily. If she continued talking, Xie Xu would probably drain her of all her wealth.

But Xie Xu had already guessed it all. "So you now have a superpower that is related to memory, restoring memory? Or reading memory?"

Xie Xu stared at Tu Ran's eyes, not missing any of her subtle expressions.

He had been trying to trick her from the beginning! Tu Ran shifted her gaze and looked elsewhere, avoiding his probing eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Researcher Xie is really smart."

Xie Xu ignored her sarcasm and looked at her profile. "Tu Ran, you have a lot of inner pills in your body now, right?"

"What? Do you want to rob?" Tu Ran turned her head.

Should she kill him first? But if she killed him, it would be difficult to find someone else to help her pass the memory reader, and she would still be wanted by the federal government.

Or maybe she brainwashed him with the "Realm of Illusion"?

This is a good idea. After all, he is just an ordinary person now. No matter how powerful or vigilant he is, she guarantees that she can do it without anyone noticing.

Tu Ran gave herself a thumbs up in her heart. Smart! Just do it! When she finished today's topic and turned her back to him when she left, she would take that opportunity to plant a hallucinogenic mushroom, so that he would unconditionally believe in her, help her, and not do anything that would harm her.

As luck would have it, the room was made of glass, which did not prevent the hallucinogenic mushrooms from taking effect.
