Chapter 196: 53 people remain
The big boss left the meeting room temporarily.
"Everyone present here has displayed special abilities since childhood, so you were recruited into the Special Management Bureau. I know that some of you were mistaken for wizards or magicians when you were young, and some thought you were monsters. Some were very fortunate, with abilities inherited from your families and receiving a relatively systematic education. However, you are different from Taoist priests, spirit mediums, or those who practice other cultivation methods. Director Jin has also wanted to find out what the differences are between you and those who cultivate later in life."
Gu Ji looked at these people and waved again.
The halo emanated from her palm, dispersed, and landed in front of each team member, turning into a very cute, transparent ball like a marble.
"What is this..." Many people in the audience were curious, but did not dare to touch it.
Bai Yanshuang tried to use her ability to explore what was inside the transparent glass ball, but the next second, the glass ball in her hand actually emitted a light yellow halo.
She was so scared that she threw the glass bead in her hand away, but the halo in the glass bead became brighter and brighter, mixed with a few strands of blue.
Everyone became more vigilant.
"You have special abilities because you have meridians in your body that can be cultivated. To put it simply, they are spiritual roots. But they are not the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth as described in novels. Everyone has five elements in their body, and these five elements can also derive many other elements. For example, Team member Bai Yanshuang, your innate ability is to absorb and control memories. Memories exist in the brain and are as indispensable as water. Therefore, you can actually control water."
Bai Yanshuang was stunned.
The light in the conference room became soft at this moment.
Gu Ji poured a glass of water and placed it in front of Bai Yanshuang. "Focus all your attention on this glass of water and explore its memory."
"How can water have memories? Water is not a person, nor is it a living thing."
Gu Ji stretched out her hand, and the water slowly rose from the cup, flowing around her fingers and changing into various shapes.
She said, "Why can I?"
Someone nearby said unhappily, "Why are you pretending? You're so awesome."
"I don't deny that I'm powerful, but I can control many living things at the same time."
She raised her hand, and the person who had just spoken flew into the air.
"Dead."
The podium was instantly lifted up and spun in mid-air.
"Or half-dead." Gu Ji looked around, "There's no half-dead person here to demonstrate to me."
She looked at Bai Yanshuang and suddenly grabbed Bai Yanshuang's hand.
The moment the power entered Bai Yanshuang's spiritual platform, she felt that her spiritual platform became clear instantly.
In the past, Bai Yanshuang had heard people from Sanqing Temple talk about guarding the Lingtai, but she never understood where the Lingtai was. In the end, she could only blame it on the fact that their talents and cultivation methods were different from those of the Taoists, so they could not communicate with each other.
Taoists practice through merit and opportunity. Some cannot make a breakthrough in their entire lives and can only act as swindlers. There are very few who are truly capable. Most Taoists can only practice to strengthen their bodies.
Their training methods were also very random, and even Bai Yanshuang still didn't know how her abilities became stronger.
It seems to be related to mental strength.
After all, controlling memory requires a lot of mental strength.
At this moment, Gu Ji looked at her with great admiration, as if he were someone who could peek into her memory: "The method of cultivation is mental power."
Bai Yanshuang's scalp tingled. "Can you see what I'm thinking?"
"No, but your expression is easy to guess." Gu Ji said.
Bai Yanshuang then realized that she had completely forgotten to control her facial expression.
She controlled her expression and asked, "So how do I cultivate my spiritual power?"
Who doesn’t want to become stronger?
Bai Yanshuang felt that she had reached a bottleneck, but she could not find a way to break through.
Gu Ji walked back to the podium, supporting himself with his hands.
In a trance, Bai Yanshuang suddenly remembered the girl who had just been rescued from Xialu Village a year ago, with an ignorant and somewhat soft look in her eyes.
In such a short period of time, she has grown so amazingly, so amazing that it makes people jealous, but it is impossible to really feel jealous when looking into her sincere eyes.
I would just be attracted and stare at her without blinking.
"From today on, I will stay here and help you improve your abilities, but I can see that some of you are very dissatisfied with me, or are unhappy with me. I don't care why you are unhappy with me. If you don't want to stay with me and feel that you don't need to rely on me, I will not persuade you. You can leave now.
I have agreed with Director Jin that you do not need to participate in this operation, and you do not have to leave the team."
"Really?" someone asked.
Everyone looked over immediately.
He was a man who looked to be in his fifties, and he was even wearing a delivery helmet.
He smiled a little embarrassedly. "I was just recruited. I have a very good nose and can track scents, so the takeaways I deliver won't be stolen. If they are stolen, I can always return them to the customers accurately! It's not that I don't want to participate. I have a daughter who will go to college this year. Girls in college are at the age when they love beauty. I want to earn more money for her."
"Doesn't the bureau give money?"
"Yes, but my wife is sick with leukemia, so I'm just trying to make a little extra money. When I don't have any tasks, I go out to deliver food. But I've been busy lately, and I'm a little short of time."
He looked a little embarrassed and a little cramped.
In such a big scene, he tried to cover his delivery clothes, but he couldn't.
Gu Ji nodded: "Okay, you can go."
"real?"
"Really? Isn't your takeout about to expire?"
The man scratched his head, and after getting Gu Ji's confirmation again, he rushed out of the meeting room.
Gu Ji wrote down the man's information and whispered to Director Jin, "Didn't the bureau provide protection and financial support to his family?"
Director Jin was also a bit embarrassed. "The bureau doesn't have much money. Most of it goes to maintenance. When we carry out missions, there is often property damage. The higher-ups have warned us repeatedly. Besides, he just joined not long ago and we've been very busy recently. We haven't had time to register his family information yet."
Gu Ji sighed, "Then give me his card number and I'll support him."
"Master Gu, this is not good."
"Why not? Money doesn't mean much to me, and I'm not short of money."
"..."嘤嘤嘤, what an arrogant sentence that makes people envious, jealous and hateful.
Then, a few more people stood up and left.
Gu Ji didn't ask the reasons, even though she could see that some of them were simply afraid.
But people will be afraid.
Rather than forcing those who are afraid to go to the battlefield, it is better to keep them. Otherwise, those who are not mentally strong enough will easily have their souls and memories corrupted if they go to the battlefield.
It was just beyond Gu Ji's expectation.
Many of them who looked unhappy with themselves did not leave.
There are a total of sixty-seven people in Team 8.
Only fourteen left.
Fifty-three remained.
