Just as Xia Yixin was about to test him again, a deep voice echoed in her mind, "You don't need to test me anymore. Even if you know the truth, you have no evidence. I know everything he did when he controlled me. He destroyed all the evidence before he left. They won't believe it."
The other party softened their stance much faster than she had anticipated.
Xia Yixin smiled slightly. "Uncle Chen, what if I said I could create enough evidence? Fifth-tier mental abilities are far stronger than you think." She paused, staring intently at him, and asked, "In exchange, Uncle Chen, I want to ask why you used mental power to test me. Have you seen any other mental power users in this underground prison?"
Chen Jiancheng was persuaded. Before the apocalypse, he was a staunch materialist, but on the day of the apocalypse, he suddenly felt as if his soul had been ripped away. He saw his body being taken over by another person, and he could only watch as that person did crazy things without being able to stop him. Later, when he discovered that his wife was the same, he panicked.
He fought with all his might to stop the person who had taken over his body from shooting at Chen Zhe and the others. Ironically, the soul that had taken over his body left when he was captured.
He left behind a mess and countless charges.
Chen Jiancheng considered telling the truth, but in fact, he knew that no one would believe him.
Even now, Xia Yixin's suggestion has tempted him.
Outside the interrogation room, no one could hear their conversation in their minds, but they could see that Chen Jiancheng's tense expression gradually relaxed.
Finally, he uttered his first words.
“There was indeed a woman who came to the underground. About three days ago, she taught me how to use mental power. I didn’t mean to interfere with her mental power before. I thought you were her because your mental power fluctuations were too similar.”
Compared to the astonishment of the people outside, Xia Yixin felt as if she had grasped a clue in a tangled mess.
at the same time.
Because the interrogation was secret and the outside world was unaware of it, the banquet gradually dispersed as curfew approached.
Lu Yan came out of the communications room. Chen Zhe had previously given orders to fully trust the two people at the Dawn Base, so while Lu Yan was communicating with the equipment, the original staff members inside the room were waiting outside.
Lu Yan's face was dark and gloomy, so they didn't dare to say much. After exchanging greetings, they went inside.
The black jade ring could clearly sense Xia Yixin's location, in the very center of Zone 1. The tense atmosphere there also made Lu Yan sense that something was wrong.
He also passed through the "fast passage" between the rooftops.
The snow is falling heavily.
The large snowflakes and the biting cold wind calmed him down.
Lu Yan believed that the story Mark told him at the Dawn Base was false.
In his recovered memories, there were no memories of Xia Yixin before he came to this continent, which was abnormal. He was sure that he had not missed anything, so the story that everyone in the Dawn Base knew was false.
But his feelings for her were real.
So, is it that his memory is faulty, or is she hiding something? And why would he have fabricated such a false story with her in the past?
The more Lu Yan thought about it, the more agitated he became.
He walked all the way to the building, where he was stopped by the guards.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I cannot let you in without our city lord's order. Please wait a moment while I go in and report," the guard said respectfully, before quickly going inside to report.
The other dozens of guards at the entrance instinctively raised their guns, watching him with a mixture of curiosity and vigilance. None of the people at P Base had witnessed his and Xia Yixin's strength, but they'd heard they were both rare Tier 5 experts…
Just then, Lu Yan suddenly looked up. A red dot flashed briefly in the dark clouds above the sky before disappearing again, but Lu Yan keenly sensed a threat above him.
He remembered the machine core that Haina had given him before, and an ominous premonition washed over him.
Just then, a gust of wind blew away the dark clouds, and the red dots reappeared. This time, the guards also noticed something was wrong.
"Damn, what's that thing?"
Lu Yan jumped onto the roof ridge, and as the first crow swooped down from the sky, his golden longsword swiftly sliced the giant crow, which was more than half a person tall, in two.
"Fire! It's a flock of zombie birds!"
Who would have thought that, in the midst of a blizzard, a flock of zombie birds would follow the monsoon all the way to the P base and silently descend upon them.
Gunshots shattered the silence of the night.
On the other side.
Just before Lu Yan arrived at the door, Chen Jiancheng had already told Xia Yixin what he knew in the interrogation room.
Three days ago, someone did indeed come up from deep underground and enter the underground prison.
"underground?"
“Yes, I was shocked too. She came out from deep inside the air-raid shelter. But she was always wearing a snow mask, so I couldn’t see her face. She seemed to know us very well. She immediately told me our identities and the story of how we were wronged three years ago. She even taught me how to control my mental power.”
Chen Jiancheng paused for a moment, then continued.
"Her only request was to use her mental power to explore the period in my memory when I was controlled by someone. For me, it was no loss. She left after she explored it." Chen Jiancheng said that when his consciousness was controlled by that outsider, he felt that it was no longer him.
Mental power detection is a type of ability among psychic ability users, which can only be used by fifth-level ability users. It is roughly achieved by influencing the other person's mental power to see certain memory fragments. Like mental power sealing, it is also a very powerful ability.
Xia Yixin is now certain that the person is the one she fought once before. She is actually a woman. What does she want to do?
"Uncle Chen, when was the last time you saw her?" she asked.
"She left the air-raid shelter just three hours before you arrived."
Upon hearing Chen Jiancheng's reply, Xia Yixin immediately stood up and said urgently, "Uncle Chen, I have urgent business to attend to right now. I swear, I will definitely come back to help you prove your innocence."
If she chases after them now, she might still find some clues in three hours!
Chen Jiancheng wasn't in a hurry. He was a shrewd man, and he could tell from Old Master Chen's attitude towards Xia Yixin that she was no ordinary person.
They walked out of the interrogation room.
Xia Yixin gave a brief explanation of her guess, which immediately attracted the attention of the two people outside.
“I’ll have all the guards come down and search together,” Chen Zhe suggested.
Xia Yixin shook her head decisively. "I can find it myself faster. You guys stay upstairs in case anything changes."
