Chapter 233
Shen Yijing did not remain silent about this unconventional inquiry.
He was taller than Pei Ya, who was already "half a head taller" than the white-haired girl. When Shen Yijing stood in front of Jiang Yunu, he was even taller than her and could easily see the top of Jiang Yunu's head.
He stood under a meticulously trimmed landscape tree in the leisure park, his brows slightly lowered, his gaze fixed on Jiang Yunu's face. He said, "I heard this from the commissioner sent by the Snow Wolf Association to the Second District to investigate the student alienation incident."
Jiang Yunu wasn't surprised that Captain Shen had such a well-informed source of information, but hearing the source of the information still made her sigh: "In just a few words, the superiority of family background is vividly demonstrated."
Jiang Yunu's comments may be a bit vicious and harsh.
Shen Yijing frowned obviously.
"I don't have a sense of superiority because of my family background." Captain Shen corrected this view, his expression serious.
"Or maybe you just think you don't have any." Jiang Yunu shrugged slightly. She didn't want to continue to tangle with Shen Yijing on this issue, so she quickly brought the topic back to the right track. "You asked me if there were any differences in the two alienation processes I witnessed. I can tell you with certainty that the answer is 'yes'."
The topic returned to the main topic, and Captain Shen, who was about to argue for himself, shut up.
He listened intently.
"The last time I witnessed the transformation, it was even slower than this time." Jiang Yunu still clearly remembered everything she saw on the battle stage. She also remembered the feeling of watching Miss Nagu gradually become inhuman before her. "From the subtle feeling of disharmony, to the increasing disharmony, to the obvious signs of transformation, this process probably lasted at least half a match, based on the duration of a doubles match in the Challenge Cup intramural competition."
In fact, Jiang Yunu's feeling of disharmony started even earlier. Almost as soon as she and Lynette Nagu stepped onto the fighting stage from opposite ends, she felt that something was amiss with Miss Nagu that day.
But this was more of an intuition than the abnormality that had materialized in Miss Nagu at that time.
Therefore, Jiang Yunu did not mention this earlier time point.
"Halftime 'Challenge Cup' intramural doubles match..." Shen Yijing softly repeated the key information, seeming to be lost in thought.
He looked at Jiang Yunu with a polite question: "Is the match time calculated based on the official maximum single-game time stipulated by the school?"
Jiang Yunu: "..."
The white-haired girl asked, "Could it be calculated based on 'the time it takes Captain Shen to quickly eliminate his opponent in a single match'?"
Shen Yijing always felt that he was vulnerable to Jiang Yunuo's attack. Jiang Yunuo's attitude towards him did not seem as friendly as the other party's attitude towards the captains of other schools, such as Captain Luo Mufei.
But there was definitely something wrong with him. If this was the price of communicating with her, he felt that he was willing to endure the occasional attacks.
“I understand.” Shen Yijing said briefly.
In his mind, he quickly compared the "longest game time officially stipulated by the school" with the time it took for Alexander of his own school team to become alienated.
“It took about three minutes from the time Alexander spoke to me to the time he showed his alienated characteristics.” Shen Yijing’s tone was solemn.
Under the landscape tree, he and Jiang Yunu were both silent for a while.
After a moment, Jiang Yunu said, "Is it related to the strength level of the 'special substance' they came into contact with, or is it related to the depth of their own energy core?"
Shen Yijing paused.
"Why do you think in these two directions?" Shen Yijing asked softly.
"Intuition." Jiang Yunu raised her gaze, staring intently at Captain Shen's face. "It could also be a little bit of experience from a couple of encounters with mutants."
There was no doubt that Duma's Alexander was far more powerful than Lynetnagu. Their combat skills and psychic abilities were on a completely different level. Alexander's energy core was undoubtedly deeper, storing more energy, while Lynetnagu's was much weaker.
"It's just a guess," Jiang Yunu said. "The stronger the psychic, the more intense the 'special substance'. This will catalyze a faster alienation reaction and produce a more thorough alienation effect."
Shen Yijing didn't say anything, his eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't break his eye contact with Jiang Yunu.
Jiang Yunu looked at him and said, "You seem to know a little more about this matter. You know 'more' than any other student in the entire league camp."
Shen Yijing neither admitted nor denied it.
"I told you my observation experience." The white-haired girl walked closer to him. "What about you? Do you have any secrets to share with me? Or--"
Jiang Yunu also lowered her voice and asked softly, "--You need to go back to the apartment building and make a remote call to the parents first to find out?"
Whether Captain Shen actually made the call or not would only be known when the two met next time.
But after Jiang Yunu finished her conversation with Shen Yijing in the garden, she returned to her apartment on the floor of Golden Uriel and received an inter-district call from the Seventh District.
This time, it was not Xie Shi who called her, but Zhou Jinxue.
Zhou Jinxue didn't send a request for a pure voice call, but directly initiated a video call.
Jiang Yunu had just walked out of the elevator of Building B of the apartment building. When he saw the video application from his senior schoolmate, he immediately turned around and headed towards the floor-to-ceiling window in the public area of the floor.
It was lunchtime and most of the team members were resting in their rooms.
"Senior!" Jiang Yunu greeted her warmly as soon as the video signal came in, even though Zhou Jinxue from the distant seventh district was still a white and black mosaic in the video window.
And "Mosaic" also heard the familiar greeting and swayed gently.
"Xiao Jiang." As Zhou Jinxue's voice came out along the communication signal, the picture was downloaded in an instant, and Zhou Jinxue's image became clear.
——Zhou Jinxue has lost a lot of weight.
If Jiang Yunu's previous impression of her was of a girl as tall and handsome as a pine or cypress, now Zhou Jinxue looked like a slender poplar that had survived a harsh winter. Not quite tall enough, battered by the wind and frost, yet still possessing a stubborn resilience.
Zhou Jinxue finished calling Jiang Yunu's nickname, and then said only three words: "Thank you."
Jiang Yunu saw that Zhou Jinxue's eyes were red.
"Don't cry, Senior Sister. Don't cry." Jiang Yunu immediately became flustered. "Did the things I asked someone to send over earlier work? Did they work?"
"Senior, when you cry, it makes me feel like I can go to the Trial Tower and kill two more rounds in one night."
