Chapter 258 Ping-Pong, Let's Fight First
It would take at least five hours to take Yin Wanying back and forth. Xiao Tang's condition was very stable, as stable as a sculpture. Qiao Lan did not disturb the experimenters' work and stayed inside for a while before coming out.
First, send Chief Wei Jianshe off. The old man had other work to do, and he had come here specifically to take time out of his busy schedule for the spy and Qiao Lan, so he had to hurry back. Qiao Lan said goodbye to the old man and went back to the lounge, where the spy the old man had given her was still tied up.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether he is tied up or not. The assistant experimenter's ability level is not high, and he can't withstand the mental torture. He was exhausted a long time ago and collapsed on the ground, unable to even lift his eyelids.
When he saw Qiao Lan walking up to him, he just stared at her blankly, with no light in his small eyes behind the thick lenses.
"Space type." Qiao Lan walked around him twice. "That's great. I'm also a Space type. Absorbing the crystal cores of similar awakened ones has a greater effect than absorbing other crystal cores, and my abilities improve faster. Do you have any last words? If not, I'll take action."
Wei Jianshe gave the spy to her, meaning she could do whatever she wanted with him. The spy's memory had been dug out, and there was nothing left to confess. According to the rules, he should be executed, and giving him to Qiao Lan was a favor from the old man.
Qiao Lan took out a knife from his pocket and pointed it at the spy's head.
The gleaming tip of the knife was right before his eyes. The spy's dull eyes twitched slightly, subconsciously revealing fear. He didn't want to die, but he also knew that he was doomed if he were to end up like this. His eyes slowly flickered, then returned to a dead look.
A tear fell from the corner of my eye.
"Any regrets?" Qiao Lan instantly understood his fleeting look and stopped the knife. "Tell me, what are your regrets? Maybe I can help you. Your spatial ability is quite outstanding, and I'm quite impressed."
The spy looked at her in confusion.
Qiao Lan raised his eyebrows and smiled threateningly: "Become my little brother and do things for me, and I will spare your life. Otherwise..."
She played with the knife.
The spy sat up suddenly, "You really won't kill me?!"
He fell down again with a bang. His current physical strength could not support the violent movement.
"Whether to kill or not depends on your performance. You have someone you care about, right? Just say it out loud, my patience is limited." Qiao Lan urged.
"I miss my sister and nephew... If you don't kill me, can you save them and their son as well..."
The spy held the low-level crystal core that Qiao Lan threw to him, recovered some strength, and made a request.
Qiao Lan smiled.
Good, as long as there is something to control him.
In the previous confrontation, she felt that this person's space capacity was not large, not as good as her subspace, but there was vitality in his space, which meant that living things could be contained in it.
Later interrogation records also showed that this was indeed the case. Saint Yes was attracted by his spatial ability and his experience in scientific research before the apocalypse, so he did everything he could to insert him into the official laboratory as a spy.
For the past two or three months, he'd been secretly copying experimental samples and then, unnoticed, using spatial power to conceal them. He'd take them on his days off and deliver them to his contact in Saint Yes. He'd done this three times, sending out five highly classified samples, a death sentence. This time, Qiao Lan had caught him stealing Xiao Tang's experimental reagents and data. If Qiao Lan hadn't been there, there'd be no chance of him being exposed; the spatial secrecy was incredibly high.
Qiao Lant wanted to beat him to death for daring to steal Xiao Tang's drug trial data.
Ping pong, she thought so and played it.
The spy, who had serious internal injuries, suffered even more external injuries. He lay on the ground, breathing more in than out, and was dying.
But Qiao Lan didn't kill him, because her space refused to allow life to enter, and she was a little covetous of this person's living space.
The talk of digging for crystal cores was pure bluffing. Qiao Lan had no shortage of crystal cores. If she could subdue him, keeping him by her side would be like having an extra living sub-dimensional space, a supplement to her own.
But he is an enemy spy and cannot be easily kept by my side. Unless I can control him.
The interrogation records clearly stated that his sister and her son were controlled by Saint Yes, which was why he was working for them. The mother and son were living in a secret Saint Yes settlement outside Beijing. During the interrogation, officials dispatched troops to siege the settlement. But that was to destroy the enemy, not to save his relatives.
Qiao Lan invited Xiao Liu in and communicated with him in front of the spy, "...If his relative is lucky enough and is still alive, can you hand him over to me?"
Xiao Liu agreed, glanced at the spy who was covered in bruises, and thought to himself that it was a good fight. He immediately went out to contact the relevant people.
This is a small matter. If the relatives of the spies can still survive after the encirclement and suppression, they will also be captured in the future and will be sent to the construction site to do hard labor. They are insignificant people, so Qiao Lan can certainly give them to her if she wants them.
In less than an hour, Xiao Liu delivered the latest news.
The small settlement was wiped out, and the authorities reaped a significant reward. The mother and son had also been found, safe and sound, and were being guarded, ready to be handed over to Qiao Lan at any time.
The spy experimenter cried with joy.
Qiao Lan said, "From now on, they will be my hostages."
"Okay, as long as you treat them well and don't hit or scold them, I will definitely work hard for you."
"I don't have much work for you to do right now. Let me take a look at your space."
Qiao Lan and the space awakener named Qian Huijia stayed in the lounge, discussing their space abilities with each other.
The opponent suffered severe mental damage and external injuries from being beaten, so Qiao Lan asked him to take the crystal core to quickly restore his energy.
Having been severely damaged by Qiao Lan's spatial perception before, Qian Huijia, knowing her strength, didn't dare to overdo it and instead quietly displayed his damaged space. On the lounge table was a small, mutated succulent plant that could sway and dance, quite adorable. After Qian Huijia used the crystal core Qiao Lan had given him to restore some energy, he quickly followed instructions, expanding and contracting it several times.
Qiao Lan closed his eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations in the space gap and the direction of energy every time it was expanded and contracted.
When Qiao Lan was too tired to collect the money when she got home, she opened her eyes and showed a look of joy.
Her understanding of space has become deeper!
The invisible and intangible portable space became clearer in her consciousness, and she could even see the space where the money returned home!
Even he himself can't see it, he can only connect with it in his consciousness.
There were very few people with spatial abilities; Qiao Lan had only met a few in her entire life. Furthermore, each one was unique. For example, the twins under Captain Xiao's command manipulated spatial orientation, a very different skill from hoarding space. However, Qian Huijia's abilities were very similar to Qiao Lan's, providing Qiao Lan with a great opportunity to learn and research.
"Come, let me try to see if our spaces can be connected."
Qiao Lan told the other person to lie down quietly and not move.
