Feng Qi seemed used to this kind of situation, and slightly turned his gaze to Jiang Zheyu: "Let's go, to the next one."
Jiang Zheyu stood still, neither replying nor moving, her lips slightly pursed into a straight line.
"System, is my mental power different from that of the females here?" Jiang Zheyu asked the system in her mind. Although she asked this question, she had already guessed that her mental power was different from that of the females here. In the original owner's memories, it was clear that purifying the beast transformation value required complete trust between the two, and that the male beastman's mental power was stronger than that of the female, which could force the female to undergo mental purification.
However, she did not need Su Yan's trust at all, and she did not feel forced at all during the purification process. She purified herself entirely based on her own will.
“That’s right, host,” the system replied. “You can enter the orcs’ mental realm without their trust. Also, your mental power is different; you can not only purify your beastification value but also heal severely damaged mental bodies.”
After explaining, the system kindly reminded you: "Although you can freely enter the orcs' mental domain, you must do so on the premise that they will not attack you. Otherwise, if the mental entity discovers the intruder, it may attack you and cause damage to your own mental body."
Therefore, she can treat the orcs whose mental energy has been damaged.
But if she does that, the empire will definitely notice her, and now that she has purified Su Yan, the empire has probably already taken notice of her.
If it's just a matter of having a high level of mental strength, that's fine. But if it also involves healing spiritual beings, it might not only attract the attention of the Empire, but also other illegal elements.
Specialty means high value, and high value means being snapped up.
The female protagonist only managed to develop a reagent that could purify the beast-like value, and it was immediately snapped up.
Various forces began vying for the female lead, and then the leaders of each force gradually fell in love with her after they had taken her.
Jiang Zheyu thought of those lunatics and decided that she should just keep a low profile and be an ordinary female.
If she were to reveal her ability to heal mentally unstable individuals, the Empire would certainly protect her well. However, she would also have to shoulder more responsibility and worry about being scrambled for by madmen from various powerful factions.
Therefore, she needs to conceal her true abilities and continuously improve her mental strength to reach the top level of S+++, becoming the strongest person in terms of mental strength. This way, she will have the ability to protect herself and the leverage to negotiate.
"You want to go in and take a look? Then let's go in and take a look." Su Yan saw the girl's long silence and absent-mindedness, so he reached out and held the girl's slightly cold hand.
“Yes, I came here to visit someone.” Feng Qi crossed his arms over his chest. “If you’re worried, you can come in and see.”
They all assumed the girl was feeling guilty, which was why she remained silent for so long.
Jiang Zheyu gave a faint, bitter smile and slowly shook her head: "No need. It won't do any good for me to go in. It might just trigger his memories and make him even more miserable."
She turned around and said softly, "Let's go to the next one."
Su Yan sensed that the girl was in a bad mood, so he stepped forward and took her hand. His large hand seemed to give her strength. Jiang Zheyu noticed this and turned to give Su Yan a slight smile.
"The past is the past, just focus on the present." Su Yan gently squeezed Jiang Zheyu's small hand.
Jiang Zheyu nodded slightly: "Mm."
Feng Qi walked up to her, but didn't say anything.
Around 9 p.m., they had visited and apologized to all fourteen families, and now only one family remained.
The attitudes of the dozen or so families Jiang Zheyu visited were similar to those of the first family: they only accepted compensation, not apologies. And because she was not the main culprit who harmed their families, although they disliked Jiang Zheyu, they did not rush over to kill her.
However, the situation of these families is not good. The orcs who survived Bai Ruo's torment either suffered lifelong disabilities, severe mental damage, or both. They could only be cared for by others for the rest of their lives, lying in bed and suffering from mental damage.
Those who didn't survive were left with only elderly people and children, barely surviving on the Star Citizens' relief funds.
The long-term compensation provided by Jiang Zheyu can improve the lives of the elderly and allow those children to return to school.
These are just the reports, but Bai Ruo has certainly tortured and killed more than just these dozen or so male beastmen and harmed more than just these dozen or so families. However, only these dozen or so people accepted Jiang Zheyu's long-term compensation because they were struggling to survive.
"Let's go, this is the last one." Feng Qi flipped through the data on his personal terminal.
The three arrived in front of a dilapidated apartment building.
Jiang Zheyu also discovered that these people all lived in the outer city.
Unlike the bustling and dazzling inner city of the capital city, the outer city's buildings are crowded and oppressive.
The door to this dilapidated little apartment is only wide enough for one person plus half a person to pass through, so you need to swipe a card to get in.
The three people stood outside the apartment building but couldn't get in because they didn't have cards.
"I'll test the apartment landlord's personal terminal." Feng Qi took the terminal and started operating it.
The computer quickly lit up.
Feng Qi simply said, "Come and lie down in one of the four apartment buildings."
The landlord quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes!"
Soon, an old orc landlord came over with a large bunch of keys and asked with concern, "Captain Qi, I don't have any bad guys hiding here, why are you patrolling here? Could it be that there's a big worm in my little place?"
"Stop talking nonsense, this isn't a patrol." Feng Qi glanced at the old orc casually. "Which room is Yin Feng's family staying in? Take us there."
The old orc paused slightly upon hearing the name Ying Feng, then seemed to instantly understand: "So Captain Qi is supervising the females to carry out the punishments?"
"Hmm." Feng Qi simply nodded slightly.
The old orc saw Jiang Zheyu, but for a moment he didn't dare to confirm if it was the same Jiang Zheyu.
"Commander Su, what brings you here?" The old orc was somewhat surprised to see Su Yan.
“I came here with my female master,” Su Yan explained succinctly.
The old orc was even more shocked when he saw Jiang Zheyu and then Su Yan.
Commander Su's mistress is actually Jiang Zheyu, that vicious woman?!
He didn't dare ask any more questions. Instead, he opened the small door to the apartment and led the people over. "Yin Feng only has his two younger brothers left here. They're living in the stairwell now. It's not that I want to mistreat them, it's just that they can't afford to pay. I can't do a losing business, so I'm letting them live in the stairwell for only fifty star coins a month."
The old orc led the group to the stairwell on the first floor. There was a small door that was only waist-high, and one had to bend over to get in.
