However, looking at the faces of Marshal Lin and Lieutenant General Lin who were looking at him eagerly, Tang Tang opened his mouth, but found that he could not say anything for a moment, and he did not know what words or expressions to use to respond to such a fact.
After all, in their previous life, the two siblings had depended on each other for survival, and there had been no characters like parents. The same was true after they came to this world. From the time Tang Tang began to remember things, there were no characters like parents in his memory, and his only relative was his elder brother.
So, just as elder brother Tang Sheng said, Marshal Lin and Lieutenant General Lin may be their biological relatives, but... they have grown up now and it is long past the time when they need a father and mother. The appearance of a figure like "father" in front of them now does not seem to mean much to them.
Thinking of this, Tang Tang's gaze fell on his elder brother and paused, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he shifted his gaze back to Lin Shoucheng and Lin Jiancheng, and shook his head slightly and said:
"I'm sorry, my opinion is the same as yours. I also don't think I have any intention of returning to the Lin family, even though biologically, I am really your daughter."
"Why? Is it because you hate me? Do you hate me for losing you and your mother? Do you hate me for adopting Lin Ke as your adopted daughter? It is because of Lin Ke that you two siblings are living such a miserable life..."
In fact, after Tang Sheng rejected him, Lin Shoucheng was already on the verge of self-blame and regret. He wanted to do his best to make up to Tang Sheng, but Tang Sheng was unmoved. Apart from actively cooperating with the treatment center's requirements and appearing here with him, there was no other communication between them.
Even after the final results of the paternity gene test came out, Tang Sheng's face was extremely calm, without any extra expression. After seeing the result of "it is indeed a parent-child relationship", Tang Sheng didn't say anything, just nodded to indicate that he understood. The whole process seemed to be the opposite of Lin Shoucheng's reaction, which was also the reason why Lin Shoucheng became more and more anxious.
In this way, the unconscious Tang Tang became another life-saving straw for Lin Shoucheng. He thought he could get a different answer from Tang Tang that would give him hope.
Unexpectedly, he heard such words from Tang Tang. At this moment, Lin Shoucheng felt even more uncomfortable, and his emotions became more intense. He couldn't help but raise his voice a little excitedly and a little loudly, and spoke in such a hoarse voice.
But Lin Shoucheng had just said half of his words when he heard Marshal Lin Jiancheng's sudden loud shout from behind him. He subconsciously turned his head and saw Marshal Lin, who was frowning and scolding him seriously.
"Lieutenant General Lin, you passed."
It was this sentence that shook Lin Shoucheng's spirit violently. He came to his senses in an instant and realized what he had done just now. He actually spoke to Tang Tang and Tang Sheng in that tone. But he was too scared. He was too scared that in the next moment he would go back to the moment twenty years ago when he saw the explosion of Xinghang with his own eyes and lost the most important person again.
Suddenly, the expression on Lin Shoucheng's face became flustered. He opened his mouth to apologize and wanted to continue saying something, but before he could say anything else, he was interrupted by Tang Tang.
Tang Tang smiled gently and shook his head.
"Although Lin Ke has caused us a lot of trouble, you guys have misunderstood one thing. I think my brother and I feel the same way. At least I don't hate you anymore. It's just that we've lived as war orphans for nearly twenty years, becoming Tang Tang and Tang Sheng. We don't feel the need to change our identities right now, and we're living a good life now. Perhaps one day in the future, we'll be willing to accept that we still have a father and a grandfather, but we won't return to the Lin family just because of some boring blood relationship."
Tang Tang was very calm when he said this, and his thoughts were even very clear. The moment Tang Tang finished speaking, Marshal Lin Jiancheng instantly understood something, and changed his usual serious and rigid image, and just laughed out loud for a while, which made Lin Shoucheng a little dazed. On the contrary, Marshal Huo next to him couldn't help but look at Tang Tang twice more after hearing this, and felt that this Tang Tang was even more interesting.
After Marshal Lin had laughed enough, he smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying "not bad, not bad, really not bad" several times before speaking:
"Yes, very interesting. It seems that my future life as Lin Jiancheng will not be boring. Little girl, what do you think 'Grandpa' would be like? I will study and learn from you according to the standards you mentioned."
It must be said that Marshal Lin's words really shocked everyone present. Before everyone could sigh and react, a guy who was afraid of the world was causing trouble.
Marshal Lin had just finished speaking when Marshal Huo interrupted and said jokingly:
"I'll also study and research. If I'm good at it, I can take the lead and let the little girl come to my Huo family directly. This will save me the trouble of going to the Lin family to pick her up later. I also have my eyes on the girl 'Tang Tang', and 'Tang Sheng' is also a good one. It would be great if we could all bring them to my Huo family..."
Thus, the tension in the ward, which had just subsided not long ago, was about to ignite again. In the end, Huo Yan couldn't stand it anymore, and sternly called out "Father" again. He then asked Luo Yang to ignore those annoying guys and see if he could check Tang Tang's physical condition first.
"Yes, in fact, in the past few days, our team of senior therapists has reviewed a lot of information and worked overtime to conduct multiple tests on Tang Tang and several other people's blood samples. It can be said that we have basically reached a conclusion. What remains is Tang Tang's cooperation with us in the instrument testing. Tang Tang, do you feel well? Can you cooperate with us in a series of tests? The test items are not too many, but it may be a bit time-consuming. What do you think?"
Upon hearing the words "test items," everyone in the ward subconsciously shifted their gazes. They all seemed extremely concerned about the situation regarding Tang Tang's pheromones, especially Tang Sheng. At this moment, his expression was more nervous than anyone else's. Seeing that Tang Tang didn't respond immediately, he subconsciously spoke nervously:
"Tang Tang, it's okay if you don't want to be tested. Just keep it as it is. There's no problem. I can support you like before."
However, Tang Tang shook his head and said softly, "No, brother, I know you are worried about me, but I want to know my situation more. Commander Luo, I am fine. I am in good health now. When do we start the test?"
"We can do it right now. Our team of therapists has made all the necessary preparations outside and are just waiting for your approval."
When it comes to professional issues, Luo Yang is much more cautious. After confirming again and again that Tang Tang has no objection and agrees to the test, he notified them to make arrangements. After a while, Tang Tang was brought to a very familiar instrument.
This is a very common pheromone level detection instrument. It has appeared many times in the original owner's memory in the past. If the instrument detects a linear fluctuation in the pheromone level, the instrument inside will show a change in the value. If there is no numerical response, it is judged to be Beta.
In the past, when Tang Tang took the test with this instrument, the displayed value was always "0". If Tang Tang had not experienced changes in the Omega value when he was young, his initial gender would probably have been Beta, not Omega.
However, the result of this test was the same as many previous tests. The value still showed "0". However, when a drop of blood sample was injected from Luo Yang's side, the value of the instrument changed and showed Alpha.
"Sure enough, just as we speculated before, the instrument is not broken. Tang Tang, can you smell other people's pheromones now? Try to carefully release a little pheromone and test it again."
"Yeah, I can definitely smell the others."
And it was very clear and sharp. This was the feeling Tang Tang had been having since he came back. According to common sense, such a performance could not be Beta, but the instrument still showed the value as "0".
At that moment, Tang Tang released some pheromones for testing as Luo Yang said.
And this time, everyone finally saw an extremely shocking data display result.
The moment Tang Tang conducted the test again, the detection instrument in front of him suddenly reached its peak, and then suddenly disconnected, showing a value of "0" again.
The final situation was the same as the results of countless subsequent tests, but everyone clearly saw the strange "surge" result before. This was a test value higher than Huo Yan's. Even Huo Yan's value was only infinitely close to the peak, and it was not like Tang Tang, which suddenly soared to the peak and then had a malfunction similar to the daily limit.
But now, everyone knows that this situation cannot be a malfunction, but it is very likely that the results calculated by Lin Shoucheng and everyone before are true. Tang Tang’s pheromone level has far exceeded the detection range of the instrument, which is why such a strange and puzzling situation has occurred.
"Sure enough, it's basically the same as I imagined. Don't worry, I've already asked Marshal Huo for an instrument with a wider detection range. However, this instrument was developed on the spur of the moment, and its reference is the pheromone level range, which is several times that of several marshals. Therefore, the data detection of the new instrument is not very stable yet. To ensure the accuracy of the test data is relatively high, before and after your pheromone level test, we will first test several people with high pheromone levels for calibration..."
Do those with high pheromone levels refer to top Alphas and top Omegas? So, why are so many handsome men showing up today?
"That's right, Marshal Huo, Marshal Lin and the others are here to help with the calibration." Seeing the confusion on Tang Tang's face, Luo Yang's answer was straightforward. He nodded and acknowledged the reason why everyone showed up here in such a neat row today. In other words, during the few days when Tang Tang was unconscious, everyone had already discussed taking time out to help with the calibration.
Of course, Marshal Huo and the others were not really that idle. They just came to help with the calibration. Mainly, they were really curious about Tang Tang's pheromone level. After receiving the situation report from the detention room, they couldn't help but express their surprise at Tang Tang's special situation.
Especially the fact that Tang Tang was able to bring out-of-control Omegas under his protection. If we could figure this out, maybe it could help many Omegas, such as those who were under control in the past.
In addition, they were really curious about what level of Omega was able to attract SSS-level Huo Yan.
So, after discussing it, everyone decided to put aside the recent huge workload and go over to take a look at the situation. This is why it was such a coincidence that everyone came here together.
Because in recent times, these guys are almost all working in the same place, and they see each other every day. It is very convenient for them to come together after receiving the message.
Of course, no one explained this in detail. They simply told the reason why they were here, and then they quickly conducted some data testing on the new instrument. The participants were basically the top Alphas including Huo Yan, Marshal Huo, and Marshal Lin, as well as Luo Dongyang and several other top Omegas who were entrusted with the task. They all underwent certain data testing to facilitate calibration.
The new instrument does have many unstable factors. We tested it about seven or eight times. It was only in the last three times that the data stabilized and there was not much difference in the changes. This means that the instrument can finally be used.
Of course, after Tang Tang finishes the test, in order to avoid big mistakes, everyone will test it a few more times to see if there are any big differences from the previous test values.
However, although everyone had anticipated that Tang Tang's data might be very high, when Tang Tang conducted a new round of tests and the specific pheromone level values appeared for the first time, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The reason was not anything else, but simply because Tang Tang's pheromone level was not just higher than Huo Yan's, it was even higher than Alphas like Marshal Huo's, almost twice as high!
Seeing this, everyone thought the new instrument was malfunctioning and rushed to test it several times, but the values they detected remained stable, with little fluctuation, including Tang Tang's. Her terrifying level, which crushed everyone else, also barely changed, tending to be stable. In other words, Tang Tang's pheromone levels really had reached such a terrifying level!
"So this is what that person from before meant when he said he'd surpassed SSS rank and crossed a certain threshold...?"
At this moment, a marshal couldn't help but mutter something, which immediately shocked everyone. Indeed, such abnormal numerical values showed that it was probably not just SSS level, but SSSS level?
"However, I have a question. According to previous records, Tang Tang's mental strength level is only SS level. So the corresponding pheromone level is basically SS or SSS level. It's unlikely that his pheromone level is this high, right?"
The question was asked by a therapist standing next to Luo Yang. He was frantically flipping through the data records while saying this. At this moment, the person who answered him was not someone else, but Tang Tang herself. She said with some hesitation:
"That... although I'm not entirely sure, I have a vague feeling that after I woke up, my mental strength level seemed to have increased. My five senses are several times more sensitive than before..."
"Wait, Tang Tang, what do you mean by this... Are you saying that your mental power level has grown, or that your pheromone level has grown during this period of time...? Quick, someone bring the mental power level detector over here so Tang Tang can check his mental power level again..."
As soon as these words were spoken, the treatment center was in a state of chaos again. The therapists ran around nervously. Soon, the results of Tang Tang's mental power level test came out.
Sure enough, just as Tang Tang herself felt, her mental power level changed from SS level to SSS level, and it was a relatively high SSS level. It is not difficult to infer that if Tang Tang's pheromone level can continue to grow or become stable, her mental power level may even break through the SSS level like her pheromone level.
This is still a shocking discovery.
However, although Tang Tang's pheromone level is high at present, it seems to be not very stable. Perhaps it is affected by the previous inducing agent, which has somewhat destroyed the balance. So now Tang Tang has become quite sensitive and can't control his pheromones.
"I can't really control my pheromones? What do you mean? Are you saying I can smell a lot of complex pheromones now? I'm smelling too many pheromones at once, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. I want to be like before where I couldn't smell anything, but I've tried for a long time and I just can't do it."
"This is indeed one of the characteristics of being unable to control pheromones. Normally, whether Alpha or Omega, as long as they can control it normally, they can isolate the scent within a certain range. For example, they will only smell a faint scent within five meters around themselves, and will not smell anything further away. But this is not the point. The point is that unstable pheromones will make it impossible to control the release of pheromones, which will have a huge impact on public security. I'm afraid it's more serious than what you have seen before. Remember, Luo Qingmei is only an A-level Alpha."
Speaking of this, Luo Yang's expression became very serious, and Tang Tang instantly understood the seriousness of "pheromone instability". It was said that Huo Yan had the same situation in the past, and had to use a strong suppression needle to control it.
But after calculations over the past few days, it was discovered that there is currently no inhibitory injection suitable for Tang Tang.
Therefore, after Luo Yang and his team of senior therapists analyzed countless plans, the final plan suggested that Tang Tang should stay in the treatment hospital of the Federal Center for a period of time. It would not be too late to leave the Federal Center after they developed a suppression needle suitable for Tang Tang.
At the same time, Luo Yang suggested that Huo Yan and Tang Sheng also stay for the time being to help Tang Tang practice controlling pheromones.
One of them is related to Tang Tang by blood and is not easily affected, while the other is someone who can successfully stabilize Tang Tang's pheromone levels. With these two people around, it is almost like double insurance.
Tang Tang didn't have much objection to this. She just wanted to be able to control her pheromones as soon as possible, so that she could return to normal life sooner.
After being away from the A5 star zone for so long, she really missed her home there.
After the situation was almost confirmed, everyone chatted with Tang Tang for a while before gradually leaving.
Even though Lin Shoucheng was still reluctant to leave, Marshal Lin finally took Lin Shoucheng away and said that in order not to affect Tang Tang's physical recovery, he would not disturb her in the near future, nor would he let Lin Shoucheng come to disturb her. Everything would be done after she fully recovered and was discharged safely from the hospital.
But after that, he would occasionally use the light brain to contact Tang Tang. Tang Tang naturally had no objection to this, and soon he and Marshal Lin exchanged friend contact numbers.
As for Zhang Shang, Luo Qingmei and Luo Dongyang, after discussing with Tang Tang, they finally decided to go back to the A5 secondary star zone first and no longer stay in the Federal Center.
One reason is that everyone has a vague feeling that the Federal Center seems to be not very safe recently. It is not just because of this friction, but also because of the friction with the Empire.
After all, Luo Qingmei had worked in a military area and had a keener sense of smell. She obviously sensed something unusual from this friction.
Even Senior Wen Changping decided to send Wen Xiaole back to the A5 star zone first, but he himself planned to stay in the Federal Center to handle things. The thought of it made him feel uneasy. In this case, their stay in the Federal Center might be a bit of a burden.
Secondly, there is the game, and Uncle Wang's plan to build a restaurant in the A5 star zone and other matters, which require people to be around, so Zhang Shang, Luo Qingmei and Luo Dongyang plan to go back to help. Among them, Luo Qingmei has the harder job, and she even has to take over Tang Tang's job.
Tang Tang thought about it and felt that what Zhang Shang and Luo Qingmei said made sense, so she asked them to go back first. After all, she would go back with them after her health improved, and so would her brother.
So, not long after, everyone left, and only Tang Sheng and Huo Yan were left at the scene. Tang Sheng had moved to the treatment center early in the morning to stay temporarily so that he could take care of Tang Tang, so he didn't have to leave.
Huo Yan wanted to move to the treatment center temporarily like Tang Sheng did, but his identity was not suitable, so he had to give up. After agreeing on a meeting time with Tang Tang tomorrow morning, Huo Yan left, looking back every few steps.
However, not long after Huo Yan left Tang Tang's ward, he was stopped by someone, and this person was none other than Luo Yang.
But at this moment, Luo Yang's expression was extremely serious, and something was very wrong.
Huo Yan was familiar with this kind of expression. Basically, only some very difficult and serious things would make Luo Yang show such an expression.
Moreover, Luo Yang's action of asking him to pass by now clearly showed that he had something important to say to him alone, and it was not convenient for others to know.
Seeing this, Huo Yan didn't think much about it and quickly followed Luo Yang.
But what he heard next made Huo Yan's face change.
The next moment, Luo Yang brought Huo Yan into his studio, handed him a freshly prepared data sheet, and said in a hoarse voice:
"I wonder if you're confused as to why Tang Tang, whose SSSS rank is matched with your SSS rank? The moment Tang Tang's stats came out, I thought of this question and made some impromptu calculations. If I'm not mistaken, your pheromones might not have been highly compatible with Tang Tang's before, but more like... Tang Tang just happened to need your pheromones, because at the time in the detention room, your pheromones were the only ones with the highest rank..."
"Also, I just simulated some data based on the situation in the detention room at that time, and found that... Tang Tang, or rather Tang Tang's pheromones, were intentionally trying to attract you to 'mark' her. However, even if the 'marking' was successful at that time, it is very likely that it would not have been a successful 'marking'."
"What do you mean by that...?"
"That's just what I mean on the surface. Tang Tang... will most likely not be 'marked' unless a similarly 'SSSS-level' Alpha appears. And you, Huo Yan, are only an SSS-level Alpha. Although you have great talent, your almost stagnant growth curve in recent years clearly tells me that your level has reached this point. You will never be able to surpass your current level and become an SSSS-level Alpha."
"Give up, Old Huo. The facts have proven that you two are not suitable. If Tang Tang likes you, that's fine, but she doesn't. This will probably just be torture for you. More importantly, if your pheromones become dependent on Tang Tang, it will be difficult to break away from them. Do you understand?! I will explain your situation to Marshal Huo later..."
