Chapter 236 The Beginning and the End
The simple word "difficult" made Lan Guoqiang and the other two feel embarrassed.
The atmosphere in the room was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Chen Chuntao sat on the chair, her eyes full of worry and self-blame, her voice trembling slightly: "Can we only watch her leave?"
She recalled what had just happened, her heart full of confusion and uneasiness, and began to wonder if their actions had led to Bai Yiting's current situation.
If they didn't take action, could she survive for long?
"Mom, don't think too much." Lan Yuncheng saw that his mother's expression was getting worse, so he hurried over, gently put his arm around her shoulders, and comforted her in a soft voice, "Even without us, Bai Yiting would not survive this year."
Bai Yiting's body had collapsed a long time ago and she couldn't last long.
This is why Mr. Bai easily fell into such a simple trap.
They were not clear about the relationship between the two at first, and even suspected that they were a couple, but they did not expect that they were "father and daughter".
Chen Chuntao wiped away the tears that kept welling up from the corners of her eyes. She had been feeling sentimental lately, as if there was an inexplicable emotion surging deep in her heart that made her unable to calm down.
She sighed softly and her eyes fell on Bai Yiting beside her.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Lige, who had kept his eyes closed, finally slowly opened his eyes. She looked a little tired, but her eyes were still firm.
She uttered three words slowly and clearly: "It's over."
Standing up and looking at Bai Yiting who was still sleeping, Lu Lige said with a hint of helplessness, "She doesn't want to get up."
"You mean, she knows that it was an illusion?" Lan Yuncheng walked over. Bai Yiting's brain waves were still as calm as water, without any signs of fluctuation.
Lu Lige nodded, his voice low and slow: "After Cheng Bai died, she found out, but I don't know why she continued instead of breaking through the illusion."
She pursed her lips slightly, as if recalling what had just happened. "Actually, I could have ended it a long time ago, but I still weaved a beautiful dream for her." She didn't know if what she did was right, but she didn't want to let the poor girl leave with regrets.
Chen Chuntao walked forward and gently patted Lu Lige's shoulder, her eyes full of understanding and comfort: "Let's go, the rest will be up to others."
She knew that Lu Lige was just doing what he thought was right, and there was nothing wrong with that.
What they need to do now is to hand things over to more professional people.
Lan Guoqiang stood aside, holding tightly in his hand a ball of white light emitting a soft glow. This is Mr. Bai's emotion and he doesn't know how to deal with it.
If released, it will return to its original body and bring the information here to that person; but if it is destroyed, it means that Mr. Bai's emotions really cannot go back.
His eyes were full of confusion and helplessness, as if he was holding a heavy decision in his hands.
They were silent for a while, and then slowly came to a spacious meeting room.
The lighting in the conference room was soft, but the atmosphere was still depressing. As usual, they sat in their seats one by one, their eyes met, but they didn't know how to deal with this difficult problem next.
Wei Zhentian came out from the projector and looked at the people in the conference room who were in a daze.
"Why are you so upset?"
Lan Yuncheng expressed his uneasiness, "Because our family has provoked a ninth-level expert from the enemy country, we..."
"Oh no, I thought it was some big deal." Wei Zhentian lay on his side in the air nonchalantly, reaching out to the projector, and a bag of data potato chips appeared in his hand.
When the others heard the senior's indifferent tone, they thought he had some solution and waited attentively for his explanation.
"This ninth level, chew chew chew. If I really want to attack you, chew chew chew, I can do it without anyone noticing." Wei Zhentian said while eating snacks, "Don't think too much. Anyway, this war will start sooner or later. You don't have to worry about delaying us, and don't worry about you being sent over by others."
"Many people are eager to use this excuse to fight the orcs."
Wei Zhentian ignored the disbelieving expressions of the others and hooked his finger. The ball of white light that was originally in Lan Guoqiang's hand appeared in his hand.
"Senior?" Lan Guoqiang's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little worried that his senior would do something wrong.
"Why do you still keep this?" Wei Zhentian really disliked the orcs' special abilities. He was cheated in the first place because he didn't check it out at that moment.
"Ah, I don't know how to deal with it." For Lan Guoqiang, this trace of emotion is the soul, and he can't destroy it.
"Then leave it here with me." Wei Zhentian rolled the light ball around until it became a ball the size of a little finger.
Then he swallowed it in full view of everyone.
Lan Guoqiang was stunned. "Swallowed it!"
Lan Yuncheng's eyes almost popped out.
"What are you doing?" Wei Zhentian had just used multiple layers of energy to surround the ball of light and placed it in an extremely closed place (actually his garbage dump). When he turned around, he saw the strange looks of the others.
"Senior, you, you ate that ball of light?" Lan Guoqiang stuttered a little. He really didn't expect the senior to do this. It would be better for him to take it home and give it to his daughter.
Wei Zhentian rolled his eyes and said, "I'm not that hungry. I just put him in a safe place."
"Okay, let's start talking about the conclusion of this operation." Liu Delai, director of the Special Department, broke up the strange atmosphere at the scene and brought the topic back to the meeting.
He cleared his throat and said seriously: "We can't keep dwelling on this. We need to sum up our experience and lessons now."
As the person in charge of the operation, Lan Yuncheng stood up and began to report the results.
His voice was deep and powerful: "On November 28, we started the first step of the plan. At that time, the starship was in a space jump state. In order to ensure the smooth progress of the plan, we put sleeping gas in Cheng Bai and Bai Yiting's room, and used Lu Lige's illusion ability to create an illusion. At the same time, we also put drugs in their drinking water..."
He paused and continued, "With the efforts of many parties, we finally succeeded in knocking out the two people. Of course, the most important person, Lan Ximeng, was also knocked unconscious and brought here at the same time."
"With the help of Lu Lige's special ability, I, Lan Guoqiang, Chen Chuntao, Yanwu, Jiang Han, Lu Lige, Feng Wanqing and others used other people's identities and formed a team with Cheng Bai, Bai Yiting and Lan Ximeng in the illusion."
"During this period, Cheng Bai had doubts many times, and Lu Lige, who was pretending to be Li Lu, had to increase the use of his supernatural powers." He said here and glanced at Lu Lige.
Lu Lige smiled slightly and nodded.
"In the end, they managed to deceive people without causing any trouble."
Lan Yuncheng continued to explain what happened in the illusion. When he mentioned that Lan Ximeng was poisoned and fell into a coma, he twitched his mouth and said, "Lan Ximeng left the illusion after being poisoned and returned to school to complete the assessment task." She was just a little noisy.
"After being poisoned, Lan Ximeng was replaced by a character in the illusion."
"Although Cheng Bai fled as soon as he found out something was wrong, we still got a lot of information from Bai Yiting who stayed behind."
