Gu Zhilin had already come up with a solution: "I will perform divination in front of everyone."
Lu Jin'an and Zhu Jiangshuai both frowned.
"You mean you're going to reveal your abilities? Do you know that's a very dangerous thing?" Lu Jin'an disagreed.
“Lu Jin’an is right. If your ability is made public, Gu Zhilin, once the Martians find out, you will definitely be on their assassination list. Even without the Martians, the greed of Earthlings will keep you in constant danger.” Zhu Jiangshuai frowned.
He knew all too well that once Gu Zhilin's abilities became known to the world, he would face even greater challenges.
Even when she learned of his abilities, her first reaction was to take advantage of them.
Not to mention others, who wouldn't cherish talent like I do.
Gu Zhilin had come up with a solution: "Just increase the cost of divination for external parties."
"What's the meaning?"
"What divination cost?"
Lu Jin'an and General Zhu asked the question almost simultaneously.
Gu Zhilin smiled and said, "If someone wants me to do divination, what do they need to give in return? For example, mental strength."
"You mean, increase the cost for those who want fortune telling, and make them bear the risk?" Lu Jin'an asked.
Gu Zhilin nodded: "You are General Lu, the hope of the new generation of Earth, yet you were so seriously injured during the mission. If the reason is that you used your mental power to find me before the mission and exchanged for the mission divination opportunity, wouldn't that... make sense?"
Lu Jin'an and General Zhu fell silent.
Gu Zhilin continued, "Then I'll say that if you want me to do divination, you can, but you'll need to give up a certain amount of your mental energy. Wouldn't that reduce the number of people asking me to do divination?"
Lu Jin'an still frowned: "It's hard to guarantee that no one will want to take a gamble."
"This is also easy to solve, because the cost of divination is too high, so the military does not allow divination to be done casually."
After Gu Zhilin finished speaking, he looked at the general Zhu in the holographic projection.
General Zhu paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "At least within the Earth Alliance Army, I can guarantee the implementation of this decree."
Then the two of them looked at Lu Jin'an together.
Since the generals all thought it was feasible, Lu Jin'an had no other choice but to agree.
However, he said to General Zhu, "I hope you can guarantee Gu Zhilin's safety while he is in the army."
Zhu Jiangshuai scoffed at this: "Can't you protect your own partner?"
"I need you to help me withstand the pressure from above."
Seeing the two protecting him, Gu Zhilin was both pleased and helpless: "Don't worry, I'm not helpless. I have the ability to protect myself."
“I know, but… we always need to make sure you’re safe.” Lu Jin’an turned to look at Gu Zhilin.
He always knew this person was capable of protecting himself, but he still couldn't keep him in constant danger.
“Then I have another question: can you really take away a person’s mental energy?” he asked.
Gu Zhilin was stunned. He had never tried taking away a person's spiritual power before.
However... there are indeed corresponding techniques that can counter the opponent.
He frowned and thought for a moment: "It should be possible, but not by taking away their mental energy, just by restraining it."
"It's like having the ability to counter your opponent in a martial arts match. If you seriously injure your opponent, it can indeed have the effect of taking away their mental energy."
Then, still somewhat uneasy, he asked, "Will anyone be able to verify my divination abilities?"
Regarding this issue, General Zhu didn't seem to care: "Don't worry, I'll arrange it."
"But won't the people you arrange be able to convince everyone?"
To everyone's surprise, General Zhu scoffed, "We'll be convinced. Whoever has the biggest objection will be the one to verify it."
"You'll know whether something is true or false once you experience it yourself."
Gu Zhilin thought this was a solution, but he forgot that this was the military, where officers had absolute authority.
"Alright, since it's decided this way, I'll go prepare to gather all the soldiers. You all get ready too."
Zhu Jiangshuai hung up the communication immediately, seemingly never having considered the possibility that Gu Zhilin might fail.
"You've just started your heat cycle, is it alright to have a divination done right away?" Lu Jin'an looked at Gu Zhilin with some concern.
"It's alright, divination doesn't actually consume much energy," Gu Zhilin said with a smile. "As for suppressing the opponent, as long as I'm within my Bagua Formation, I'm invincible."
He smiled confidently.
Of course, Lu Jin'an never doubted Gu Zhilin's abilities.
So he told Gu Zhilin to prepare well, while he stayed by his side, ostensibly to protect him. But really, he only felt at ease when Gu Zhilin was safe and sound by his side.
He also needs to deal with some issues, such as why his report was leaked.
Was Shang Shixu's report leaked voluntarily, or was it leaked by the same person or group of people who leaked it?
These all need to be thoroughly investigated.
He handled things using his AI while waiting for Gu Zhilin to prepare.
Suddenly, Gu Zhilin asked, "How is Jiang Jiyang? Has he been discharged from the hospital? I haven't given him the amulet I prepared for him yet."
Hearing that this person still had the mind to care about others, Lu Jin'an was a little annoyed: "He's fine, you don't need to worry about him."
"That won't do. If I run into him today, I'll give him the amulet again."
Lu Jin'an felt increasingly uneasy, but she couldn't show it.
He could only say, "I don't know if he'll show up today. Give it to me and I'll give it to him for you."
Gu Zhilin didn't think much of it and handed him the amulet, saying, "This one is Jiang Jiyang's, and this one is Zeng Yan's."
"I don't have their birth dates and times; it would be better if I did. But this is enough for one use."
Lu Jin'an put away the amulet, feeling a pang of sadness.
But the thought that his amulet wasn't a disposable item, and that it was even better, made him feel a little more at ease.
After all, only Gu Zhilin possessed the amulet that had been personally blessed by him.
By the time Gu Zhilin had finished his preparations, Lu Jin'an had also received the news.
Just then, General Zhu also notified everyone of the assembly.
The meeting place is the square.
After all, only the square could accommodate all the military personnel.
After getting ready, the two headed to the square together. Before leaving, Lu Jin'an didn't forget to send messages to Jiang Jiyang and Zeng Yan.
Tell the two not to go to the scene.
Gu Zhilin was completely unaware of this, and calmly and confidently followed Lu Jin'an to the square.
When they arrived, the general was already seated above them, giving a speech.
“There have been a lot of rumors circulating in the military region recently. I don’t know where these rumors came from, but… I will find out.”
"As for the issue of the mole that you are concerned about, this was originally not your concern, but a concern of someone from the military headquarters."
"What is your duty? It is to train well and protect the Earth."
