While having breakfast, Chen Cheng solemnly told the girls what happened last night, asking them to be careful, and then distributed Ye Xi's feathers one by one.
Looking at the feathers in their hands, the girls looked at each other, then turned to look at Ye Xi, who was wearing a hat and looking nonchalant on the sofa, with a flicker of gratitude in their eyes.
"Xiaodie, Xiaoxin, I'm going to call your homeroom teacher and ask you not to go to school for the next two days."
Shen Die and Xiang Xin nodded in unison.
Although the college entrance examination is approaching, the two girls are not too panicked. After all, they have Ye Xi at home to help with their homework.
Rather, it was better to be at home, because the two girls felt that Ye Xi’s teaching was much better than the teachers at school…
Afterwards, the cat cafe resumed business as usual, and everyone still greeted the new day with hopeful smiles, without becoming worried about this incident.
Not long after today's business started, Lu Mingjing, looking tired, pushed the door open and walked into the cat cafe. He greeted Chen Cheng and said, "Senior Chen Cheng, good morning."
"Thank you for your hard work." Looking at Lu Mingjing's purple eye bags, Chen Cheng sighed: "Would you like something to drink?"
"A cup of special coffee, thank you."
"You're still drinking coffee like this?"
"After all, I still have things to do tonight." Lu Mingjing yawned as he said that.
Originally, Lu Mingjing had planned to take a rest after completing the development of cancer drugs, but suddenly he heard about what happened in Mio City. Despite his colleagues' dissuasion, he ran over to join the action.
Lu Mingjing can be seen in almost all tasks, big and small. In addition, Lu Mingjing has considerable ability in the field of drug research, so even in the laboratory, Lu Mingjing's shadow can often be seen.
The Institute of Basic Sciences of Biology still values Lu Mingjing very much and is also interested in promoting Lu Mingjing. Now Lu Mingjing is already a D-level special investigator.
All in all, it has been less than a year since Lu Mingjing joined the Institute of Basic Sciences of Biotechnology as a special investigator.
After being tempered by tasks of all sizes, Lu Mingjing has obviously become much more mature in this year.
And there is a faint trend of evolving into Shao Silin...
She ground a cup of coffee for Lu Mingjing and pushed it in front of him: "Thank you for your help with this matter."
"It's my job."
Lu Mingjing took the coffee, blew away the cool air, took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "I've heard that Senior Shen Cheng's coffee tastes very good. Now it seems that this is true."
Shen Cheng smiled faintly: "By the way, what is the situation of those criminals who were caught now?"
Hearing this, Lu Mingjing fell silent while holding his coffee.
Shen Cheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Their abilities...disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Lu Mingjing nodded: "We explored their memories and found that their abilities... were not innate, but were given to them by others."
"Bestowed by someone... In other words, all their abilities came from one person?" Shen Cheng's heart trembled.
It’s like if you hold Ye Xi’s feather, you can use Ye Xi’s abilities.
If that's the case... wouldn't that mean there will be a second "abandoned person"?
"Yes, their supernatural powers were all granted by that leader. They don't require any medium, just contact. However, that leader is very mysterious and always wears a pitch-black cloak. In their memories, they can't see the leader's face at all."
Shen Cheng's expression immediately became heavy.
Doesn't this mean that the mysterious leader can create shadow-type mutants endlessly?
However, in this case, the possibility of the other party retaliating against him is not too high.
After all, with such ability, as long as he is not threatened, he will not be able to hurt the foundation at all. He only needs to create another batch of shadow-type mutants. There is no need to fight to the death over these trivial matters.
The focus now should be on this terrifying leader who has evolved from a mobile bomb to a mobile nuclear bomb.
"But Senior Chen Cheng, you don't have to worry too much. I think the reason why the leader took back those people's abilities was, on the one hand, to prevent those abilities from being used by the Institute of Biological Sciences, and on the other hand, that ability would most likely affect the leader, either making him pay a price, or there is a certain limit to who can be given the ability."
Before he knew it, Lu Mingjing had finished the coffee in his hand.
At the same time, Lu Mingjing’s phone rang. He took out his phone, took a look, and said to Shen Cheng, “Senior Shen Cheng, I have to get busy.”
"Well, you should be more careful. He is very likely to have thermal weapons of mass destruction."
"Don't worry, it's hard for hot weapons to hurt me." Lu Mingjing smiled and patted his chest, saying confidently.
After watching Lu Mingjing leave the cat cafe, Chen Cheng was about to look away when he suddenly saw a burly figure sitting opposite him.
"Boss Shen, are you in trouble?" Xiang Long asked in his hoarse and deep voice.
Chen Cheng originally didn't intend to tell Xiang Long about these things, but when he thought that Xiang Long's daughter Xiang Xin might also be implicated because of him, he still said: "When I was on a mission yesterday, I encountered a very troublesome enemy. He ran away, which was a headache."
“What kind of person is he?” Xiang Long’s eyes immediately became sharp when he heard that Shen Cheng was really in trouble.
"I... don't know. He was always wearing a black cloak, so I couldn't see his face clearly."
"So, does he have any characteristics or anything like that?"
Hearing this, Shen Cheng frowned slightly and thought: "The behavior...maybe a little sneaky? Almost like a pyramid scheme leader."
After all, with such capabilities, he would definitely want to rebuild his own organization, and kidnapping would be inevitable at that time.
"I understand." Xiang Long nodded, took out his cell phone, and without avoiding Shen Cheng, dialed a number in front of Shen Cheng.
Seeing this, Chen Cheng vaguely guessed that Xiang Long might be looking for help from his former friends in the underworld.
This is actually quite reasonable. After all, if the leader wants to rebuild the organization, he must choose from this type of people first.
But… as a national special investigator, he had to ask these people for help, and Shen Cheng always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The call was quickly connected, and Xiang Long put the phone to his ear, which made Shen Cheng feel helpless.
Unexpectedly, the first words Xiang Long said were: "Hey, Aunt Li, are you okay?"
Chen Cheng: “?”
"Hey, Xiaolong! When will you come to see me? I'm in good health now and chatting with some sisters downstairs!"
"Ah, I'll definitely come see you when I have time, but this time I want to ask you a favor..."
After dialing Aunt Li, Xiang Long called Aunt Wang, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhao... and several other numbers.
An invisible surveillance network appeared in every corner of Mio City and spread out in all directions, soon covering Mio City.
