Chapter 240
Unleash potential and achieve breakthrough levels.
If developing a perfect drug with no side effects is a false proposition that can never be achieved, and generations of people have invested manpower, financial resources and energy into it, but it is like throwing a stone into a deep pool, which cannot cause too many ripples. What can be produced with all the effort is still something that is highly destructive to the energy core, then why not change the idea?
For example, instead of pursuing the creation of a so-called "mild evolution potion" and giving up on allowing everyone to adapt painlessly, they instead focus on developing medicinal properties, and then - to find high-quality bodies that can perfectly match this potion.
There are so many people with special abilities in this world, and the three major associations are never short of geniuses.
In addition to the recognized strong ones, there are so many honorary graduates sent to the three major superpower associations every year, all of whom are human rookies.
There is always someone who can survive the most intense effects of drugs, withstand the most brutal grabbing of the energy core, and bear the surging superpowers of dozens of times the intensity of the energy circuit.
If there is just one person who can withstand all of this, they will be the perfect carrier of the new potion, enabling supreme potential stimulation and evolution!
He will be the direction of human progress in the future and the light of breakthrough of human potential!
Since ancient times, "youth" has been synonymous with high metabolism and high self-repair ability.
Jiang Yunu hung up the phone with Su Xiuchun. She glanced out the window at the league camp, which was still quiet for the time being, and felt that a storm was about to come.
Or perhaps thunderclouds had already been hovering overhead, and the changes on the field were like two muffled thunderclaps that sounded early on.
Before ending the secret communication, Su Xiuchun got a new clue from the white-haired girl.
Jiang Yunu said to the other party: "There may have been underground research organizations operating near the dilapidated streets of Chat City."
Su Xiuchun's reaction clearly showed that he had taken note of the matter and was taking it to heart.
For the next two days, the league camp was quiet, and there was no new contact from Shen Yijing.
Jiang Yunu called Aunt Daisy who was far away in Chat City. She originally wanted to remind Aunt Daisy and tell her that maybe someone might be active near the dilapidated street in the near future, but the other party was most likely sent by Coach Su, so she told Aunt Daisy not to worry and just live a normal life.
Unexpectedly, Qiao Daisi told Jiang Yunu first: "The atmosphere seems a bit strange recently. The entry and exit inspections in the entire Seventh District have become stricter. Even Qiao Yisen was tested twice at the monitoring gate when he came back from school. I don't know what they are checking for."
The red-haired woman's tone held a hint of doubt, but it didn't sound like a complaint.
Of course, Jiang Yunu would not tell his aunt about all the troubles and add to his family's worries.
Even what happened to Zhou Jinxue's family was a secret unknown to ordinary residents of the Seventh District like Aunt Daisy.
Jiang Yunu shared a surprised expression. "So strict? Maybe there's some new policy or regulation recently that's tightened border security? Is it making things a bit inconvenient at home?"
"It does make the process of getting home a little more complicated," Aunt Daisy admitted, but she remained noncommittal. She sighed, "I just hope nothing serious happens. Usually, when travel regulations in a city suddenly become stricter, it means something major might be happening, unbeknownst to the public."
"..." Jiang Yunu did not respond immediately, because his aunt made judgments based on her experience, and her judgments were almost accurate to the truth.
Not wanting to worry her family, the little girl changed the subject: "Has this ever happened before? Aunt Daisy, you don't sound too surprised."
Jiang Yunu's tone was even brisk.
Qiao Daisi obviously hesitated for a moment, as if considering whether she should say this to Jiang Yunu.
But Jiang Yunu had already been promoted to an advanced school for special abilities and could represent the school in the advanced league. He was no longer the little kid she had just picked up from the dilapidated street, so she quickly made up her mind.
Qiao Daisi told Jiang Yunu: "Yes, it happened before."
Jiang Yunu subconsciously felt that she couldn't miss this clue, and her tone became more curious: "Oh?"
"It's all old news in Shat City." The red-haired woman on the other end of the line shook her head, her tone a little distant. "You still remember our city's child curfew, right? It was introduced before Joyson was born. It was suddenly announced one day and required to be applied citywide immediately."
The child curfew that severely restricted Jiang Yunu's movements and almost left him with nowhere to stay when he first arrived in the human city was actually once an "airborne soldier."
Jiang Yunu knew that any airborne regulations and instructions would inevitably be accompanied by corresponding events.
The children's curfew that Shatt City has strictly followed until now was once a sudden change, which means...
"I was still very young at that time, and many children were lost in Chat City." Qiao Daisi continued quietly, and her words coincided with the guess that emerged in Jiang Yunu's mind.
——Because children are being lost at large, control over children’s activities has been tightened.
"Have those children been found?" Jiang Yunu asked softly, but he already had the answer in his mind before asking.
And as expected, Jodie said, "No."
Aunt Daisy sighed again on the other end of the line. "This wave of children disappearing inexplicably continued for quite a while, and the ban on children's activities was revised again and again. Only after the 'disappearance wave' passed did the controls loosen up a bit, and then things gradually turned into what you and Joyson experienced."
This is the complete origin of the children's curfew in Shutter City.
Jiang Yunu never thought that the regulations that made her feel "stuck" at the time, in some way, also pointed to the underground research that Su Xiuchun had told her about not long ago.
Yes, how could an organization that has been going on for a long time and a banned experiment dubbed as "evolutionary breakthrough" and "light of humanity" not collect all kinds of experimental subjects?
Children, especially those from remote star regions, who have been moved from the upper three regions to the back regions, are probably just a group of living consumables in the eyes of those who have both financial power and wealth.
Jiang Yunu was silent for a moment on the communication side.
The big pit and the corpse of the white-haired child whom she treated as a "companion doll" came to her mind again.
Have you ever lived like me?
Or, among all the corpses, am I the only one who was "resurrected" by chance?
"Small crossbow?"
Joe Daisy's voice rang out.
Aunt Daisy was still calling her by the nickname that was basically only hers. Jiang Yunu came back to her senses and noticed that Aunt Daisy was looking at her with a bit of worry. She immediately cheered up and showed her energy, saying, "It's okay, I just got distracted for a moment and thought about something."
Then Jiang Yunu told Aunt Daisy the original purpose of his call and told her that there might be strangers moving around the dilapidated street recently.
Jodie didn't ask the stranger what he was doing on the dilapidated street.
She is a woman with great wisdom in life, and she also knows that one of the signs that a child is growing up is that he or she has secrets that are inconvenient to tell adults.
President Shen of the Snow Wolf Psychic Association was not familiar with Su Xiuchun of the Spirit Deer Psychic Association in the past.
The two occasionally meet at work, but their work content has basically no overlap, not to mention that they belong to different associations. The three major associations have a "cooperative competition" relationship.
They were distant colleagues who knew each other's names but had never developed a close relationship.
Even the way President Shen learned of Su Xiuchun's name was a bit peculiar. He didn't know about this slightly younger junior because of her strong abilities and high-level supernatural talent. Instead, Su Xiuchun's name was spread based on the combination of "extremely strong abilities" and "having administered a powerful drug to the newcomer of the Ye Li family."
Su Xiuchun didn't have a particularly strong impression of President Shen. The closest she'd ever come to this senior was when President Shen, representing the Snow Wolf Psychic Association, held a "recruitment meeting" for her class of college graduates. President Shen had taken that talent recruitment event very seriously, personally appearing and delivering a fifteen-minute speech, hoping to attract more high-quality newcomers to the Snow Wolf organization, or at least become interns.
Su Xiuchun initially chose Linglu, and she politely declined President Shen's offer - then Ye Li followed suit and firmly rejected President Shen's offer.
The two sides rarely had any contact since then.
However, the two parties, who have rarely had any contact for many years, are busy with the same information.
Su Xiuchun took Jiang Yunu's words very seriously. She had witnessed the girl's sharpness in the junior league and trusted her intuition. She quickly dug deeper based on the information provided by Jiang Yunu.
On the other hand, although President Shen had some doubts about the "source of information", he knew that his son was not a person who would speak nonsense. The first lesson he needed to learn to be a good elder was to take seriously what his children told him carefully.
The rest period between each team match in the senior league ranges from 3 to 7 days.
This round of rest was a bit strange.
In the league camp, all the school players have been resting for the sixth day, but have not received any notification.
No one notified everyone to go to the assembly center, no one asked everyone to draw lots to select the next round of competition, and no one sent a mass notification to tell the contestants whether the next round of competition would be postponed.
"It's so weird." Romfei's captain took the initiative to come and talk to Sorok in the public living room of the Golden Ule school team.
He frowned, and the gloomy temperament around him became a little stronger.
"What's going on with this competition? Normally, we need 30 hours' notice to prepare for the rally, and another 24 hours to prepare for the stage after the draw," Captain Romfei said. "But tomorrow will be the seventh day of rest, and we haven't even received the draw today. So, won't we have the next round of the team competition?"
"I also sent an email to the tournament committee," Sorok said, his face full of doubts. "But 20 hours later, the email shows as read, but I haven't received a reply."
There are usually not many adults in this camp. The main people are students from various schools, a few teachers accompanying the team, and medical staff stationed in the camp from the medical department.
The student players haven't spent as much time with adults recently as they have with local artificial intelligence.
Similar questions arise in various school teams.
The captain of Michelle Academy tried to talk to the captains of Di Yao and Duma about this anomaly, but Duma and Di Yao seemed to have a private encrypted channel and would not talk to Michelle. Captain Michelle had to turn to another school in the same building.
When President Shen's investigation made some progress, this man, who was known for his steadiness, changed his expression the moment he saw the report.
He opened the terminal as quickly as possible, called up Shen Yijing's private communication code, and dialed the contact signal -
The signal cannot be connected.
