Chapter 104 Official Speculations



After more than 20 hours of flight, Lin Yan finally returned to the embrace of her motherland. At the Imperial Capital Airport, as soon as the two got off the plane, they were invited into the car by the uniformed law enforcement team and rushed all the way to the official headquarters.

Although she had been mentally prepared, the tense atmosphere still made Lin Xi a little restless. She didn't dare to talk much to Chen Chu on the way and arrived at the headquarters in silence.

As soon as the car arrived, someone was waiting at the door. As soon as the two got out of the car, they were led inside.

Are the people at the headquarters so indifferent? They didn't even say what they were doing, but just led everyone inside.

Lin Xi followed behind, mumbling inwardly. Halfway through, someone suddenly stretched out his hand to block her way.

"What's wrong?" Lin Xi was stunned for a moment and asked.

Chen Chu heard her voice and turned around to look over.

"Director Guan wants to see Chen Chu, and the person who wants to see you is in another conference room." The law enforcement officer who stopped her was a female psychic who was about twenty years old. She spoke politely but her face showed no expression.

Lin Xi looked at Chen Chu subconsciously.

Chen Chu nodded at her.

"Okay." Lin Yan had no choice but to follow the female law enforcement team member to another meeting room.

The office building of Shuoda University was so quiet that it was almost eerie. Apart from the sound of their footsteps, there was no other sound. Apart from the law enforcement officers who led the way, Lin Xi didn't even see any other psychics.

While they were thinking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the conference room. The law enforcement team member who led the way stepped forward and opened the door of the conference room, motioning Lin Yan to go in: "Go in."

Lin Yu walked in nervously. As soon as she entered the room, she saw that there were already people waiting inside. At one end of the long conference table, three superpowers were sitting, two men and one woman, and their eyes were fixed on her.

"Lin Xi, right? Please take a seat." The female psychic sitting in the middle nodded slightly at Lin Xi, motioning her to sit down.

Lin Xi uttered an "oh" and sat at the other end of the conference table unconsciously.

This scene, why does it seem familiar? It's very similar to the scene in the city criminal police interrogation room last time.

"Don't be nervous, it's just routine. I have some questions for you." The female psychic who spoke earlier smiled gently at Lin Yan, "Let me introduce myself first. My name is Ling Congtong, and I'm the leader of the Suzaku Team of the Imperial Capital Psychic Action Group."

Suzaku Team? Lin Xian had read the information on the official website. This team leader Ling Congtong was an S-level fire-type esper and the only female team leader among the four major esper teams in the imperial capital.

She had always thought that people who had awakened fire abilities tended to have bad tempers, but this team leader seemed quite gentle and had a pleasant voice.

"Hello, my name is Lin Yan, and I'm the accountant of Group 6 in Jin City." Lin Yan unconsciously relaxed at the other party's gentle tone.

"Accountant?" Ling Congtong was slightly stunned.

"Yeah." Lin nodded.

Seeing Lin Xi's serious expression, Ling Congtong subconsciously flipped through the information in front of her. It was the information about Lin Xi that she had collected.

"If I remember correctly, your space ability has reached S-level." How could an S-level psychic be an accountant in the department?

"That's actually not my special ability, it's one of my props." Lin Xian said.

Ling Congtong was not too surprised by Lin's answer. Before they talked to Lin, they had already investigated and found that Lin's ability was very special. Her space ability came from a wig, and this form of existence was indeed more like a prop. She not only had this prop, but also a wooden fish that could fight against the necromancer, and a prop that could summon the Calabash Doll. It is said that the Calabash Doll summoned was still a 2D version. These are just what appeared on the surface, and she may have more props.

Ling Congtong continued to ask: "The data submitted by Jinshi Group 6 shows that your superpower is only F-level and only space-related. But according to our understanding, your superpower, or prop, seems to include more than just space-related superpowers."

This is to understand her supernatural properties.

"When we return home, we will go to the headquarters first. The people at the headquarters will definitely ask you some questions, mainly about what happened after we brought the map into the Miao village. I have basically told them everything about it, so just tell them the truth when the time comes. Don't panic. Also, you stopped the mass sacrifice ceremony at the concert before, and the special nature of your ability must have attracted the attention of the headquarters. They will also ask about this. If you don't want to reveal too much, it's best to think of the answer in advance."

The seniors guessed it all.

After the plane took off, Chen Chu anticipated that they would be invited to have tea by the headquarters after returning home, so he gave them many instructions in advance. At that moment, Lin Yan responded calmly: "My ability is to exchange props."

"Your ability is to exchange items?" Ling Congtong's face flashed with surprise, and asked, "Then why does your information say that you have a space ability?"

"Because at that time I also felt that my ability was space ability." Lin explained, "I suddenly awakened to the ability. At that time, I didn't know anything. I only had a space-related prop on me, so I naturally felt that I had space ability."

Ling Congtong asked patiently: "So what exactly is your ability like?"

Lin Xi hesitated and didn't say anything, as if she was worried about something.

Ling Congtong seemed to know what she was thinking about, and said gently: "You don't need to tell me the specific properties of your props, just tell me how you redeemed the props."

Lin Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's an energy stone. If you absorb a certain amount of energy stones, you can exchange them for items."

This was the first time Ling Congtong had heard of this kind of power, and she immediately became more curious: "How many energy stones can be exchanged? Are the items exchanged random or can I choose them?"

Lin: “I don’t know.”

Ling Congtong frowned.

Lin: "I really don't know. My ability is very tricky. Sometimes I can draw an item after absorbing a dozen energy stones, but sometimes I may not be able to draw even after absorbing hundreds of them."

Ling Congtong: "Draw?"

Lin nodded: "Yes, that's why I don't know what props are. Every time I redeem props, it's done by lottery, and nine out of ten times I don't win. The props I draw also depend on fate, and their effects are average."

Ling Congtong smiled: "But your wig and wooden fish are both of very high quality."

Lin: "What's the point of being so high? There's nothing you can do in a fight! And it's very expensive."

Ling Congtong looked at Lin Xi's angry expression and was a little surprised. These were two S-level props that many people had never seen.

Lin Yan simply took out Zhenzi's long hair from her inventory and spread her snow-white hair on the conference table: "Look, I've only used it three times, and it's already broken. It will take 20,000 energy stones to repair it."

"Twenty thousand energy stones?" Even Ling Congtong was shocked when he heard this number. Twenty thousand energy stones were enough to turn an F-level psychic into an A-level one. This item was too expensive.

Lin Yan nodded, and then looked at Ling Congtong with hope, "Team Leader Ling, this prop of mine was damaged when I was transporting the map. I think the headquarters will reimburse me for it."

Ling Congtong: "Besides taking people through space, does your tool have any other functions?"

Lin Xi shook her head: "No, my props have very simple functions. The space props can only be used for space travel."

Ling Congtong: "Then the cost-effectiveness of your repair is not high."

Lin An got anxious when she heard this: "But I damaged the props when I was delivering the map to the secondary space. Senior Chen Chu said that the headquarters will definitely reimburse me."

Ling Congtong smiled awkwardly: "You are right. You have made a great contribution in transferring the geocentric map to this dimension. You will not be held responsible for the loss. The energy stones will definitely be reimbursed."

Lin was immediately happy: "That's good."

Ling glanced at the subordinate sitting on his left. The subordinate was wearing thick glasses that blocked the green light in his eyes. He held a pen in his right hand and quickly wrote two words on the notebook in front of him: The truth.

Ling Congtong understood, looked at Lin Yan and continued to ask: "I also want to know about the transfer of the map. Why didn't you go to the designated location arranged by the headquarters in advance, but went to the border instead?"

Lin Xi said a little embarrassedly: "I didn't get the location right when I positioned it."

Ling Congtong frowned. Such an important matter could still be a mistake. He must be lying. She couldn't help but look at the subordinate on her left. The subordinate quickly wrote down two words: the truth.

It's actually true?

It can only be said that Lin's luck is really good. Even if the positioning is deviated, it still appears within the coverage of the sub-space. No, it should be China's luck that is good. It was protected by the Chinese destiny that a disaster was avoided. Ling Congtong only thought that if Lin's positioning was a little more deviated and out of the coverage of the Miao Village, the current international situation would be complicated.

Ling Congtong collected his thoughts and continued to ask, "What happened after entering the Miao village?"

"A lot of things happened. Let me tell you, there..." Lin Nan immediately described in vivid detail what happened in the Miao village, using an exaggerated tone to highlight the difficulty of their journey and the life-threatening disasters they had endured, trying to make the people opposite her feel that the 20,000 energy stones were worth the money.

At the same time, in another meeting room on the third floor, the Director of the Secret Service, Guan Zeyang, and some official leaders were there.

"Tell us what happened in the Miao village again. We need more information." Guan Zeyang said.

Chen Chu was mentally prepared and immediately repeated what happened in the Miao village.

Several people in the conference room frowned after hearing this. It was exactly the same information as what was said on the phone last time, without any further details.

"The high priest can travel through the chaotic flow of space. Does Miao Geyun have this ability as well?" Someone worriedly said, "Although the Miao village is closed now, other sub-spaces are still open. If she really wants to come to Earth, she can change to another sub-space. As long as she finds an alien with special abilities, she can get out."

"I had a guess a long time ago that the high-level spirits in the subspace all have self-awareness. After so many years, is it possible that someone has come out?" A gray-haired old man suddenly spoke up.

"Mr. Hua, do you have any basis?" Guan Zeyang looked at the director of the institute.

"No, it's just a reasonable inference. Just like whether aliens exist or not, no one can be sure, but people still believe that aliens may exist on Earth, not to mention the subspace that does exist." said Mr. Hua.

"Whether there are spirits from other dimensions on Earth is not the most important thing. The most important thing is their purpose in coming to Earth." The leader of the Xuanwu Team said, "If they just want to leave the dead world and live in a new world, then that's understandable. But the fear is that they have other purposes."

"What's the purpose?" Guan Zeyang asked.

"I don't know." The leader of the Xuanwu team shook his head.

"I do have a guess." Mr. Hua spoke again.

Everyone looked over.

"If we are spirits in the subspace, and we finally came out of the subspace and started a new life on Earth, then what reason would make us do something that is detrimental to the Earth?" asked Mr. Hua.

Everyone pondered for a moment, and after a moment their faces all changed: "Invasion!"

"Yes, I had this guess a long time ago, but I never dared to say it." Hua Lao sighed, "Why did the subspace appear? Why did it devour the mutants? Why is the way to open the exit the energy stone?"

"Because the subspace is absorbing the energy of the earth." Tang Tianyuan said.

This was the conclusion reached by the Subspace Research Institute a long time ago.

"Why does the subspace absorb energy?" Mr. Hua continued to ask.

"Resurrection?!" Everyone's face turned pale.

"And those spirits." Hua Lao asked, "Why are there so many spirits in a dead and disintegrating world? Why don't such spirits appear after people die on Earth? And why are every copy in the sub-space cyclical and unchanging?"

"Because they are not completely dead?" Guan Zeyang followed Mr. Hua's words and said a conclusion that he himself could not believe.

"Yes." Mr. Hua said with great certainty, "Not only those high-level spirits are not dead, but the entire world is not dead. I have always felt that the subspace is shrouded by a powerful force of rules. This force of rules allows the people in that world to survive as spirits in the hope that they can be resurrected one day."

"The reason why the copies are cyclical is because the force of rules has fixed that time and space. In that time and space, spirits can only repeat the life during that period. The reason why they cannot continue to retain their memories may be because the energy of the world is insufficient. This also indirectly verifies that the connection between the subspace and the earth is to absorb the energy of the earth."

The leader of the Xuanwu team asked, "If your guess is true, how will the sub-space invade the earth? Will it suck the energy of the earth to revive their world? If so, then we don't have to worry at all. At the current speed, they may not be able to suck all the energy in thousands of years. If we had that much time, we would have already thought of a way to destroy the sub-space."

After hearing the analysis from the leader of the Xuanwu Group, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Indeed, although many psychics die in the sub-space every year, they also bring a lot of energy stones out of the sub-space. If you really compare the energy loss, the difference is not that big.

"Have you forgotten?" Old Hua sighed again.

"Forgot what?" Everyone looked at Mr. Hua, but Mr. Hua looked at Chen Chu who was standing aside and listening to their analysis in silence.

Chen Chu's heart moved slightly and he had some guesses.

"Disaster props." Hua Lao said, "It takes thousands of years to build human civilization, but it only takes a huge disaster to destroy it. A map, a plague, or maybe something else. What if these high-level spirits come to Earth with disaster props? What if their purpose is to use these disaster props to absorb the energy of the Earth and feed back to the subspace?"

One earthquake means tens of millions of lives.

Chen Chu was shocked and turned sideways, meeting Tang Tianyuan's gaze that was fixed on him.
