Chapter 65 Mental Power Harvesting 6
Chapter Sixty-Five
"What's going on? Why is the jammer malfunctioning?" The woman with the high ponytail asked, her voice trembling.
They all looked at Lin Xia, but seeing her pale face, their doubts subsided. No one would want to suffer for no reason.
"Luckily, the ability shield wasn't turned off." The young man gasped for breath, slumped on the sofa, his voice trembling slightly.
"We need to get back as soon as possible. I definitely can't take it again," the boy said, his hands trembling.
The short-haired girl covered her face and didn't say anything.
Lin Xia lowered her head, her mind churning with turmoil. This shattered her understanding; was the growth of her mental power real? Would she be taken back or retained if she left the game?
What do the stone tablets and insects in my dream mean?
She has countless questions now, but no one can answer them for her.
Thinking of the fluctuations in her mind during the dream, Lin Xia controlled her mental power to examine it inch by inch. There was nothing wrong with her mental power; that pure mental power seemed to have perfectly merged with her mental power.
Lin Xia smiled wryly. Anyway, it wasn't something she cultivated herself. Whether it was added by the system or obtained in a dream, it didn't seem to matter. But thinking about the origin of the spiritual power in the dream made her feel uncomfortable.
She recalled that in her dream, when her mental strength doubled, she broke through the first layer of the dream and saw the insect that plunged everyone into nightmares.
That place was beyond her control, meaning she had no way to kill the insect there, or even if she could, she wouldn't have the ability to resist it. What kind of being could gather the spiritual power of everyone on the entire planet?
Before Lin Xia could come up with an answer, the young man suddenly stood up: "Let's go!"
The girl with the high ponytail pulled Lin Xia to her feet and asked, "Brother Lai, what happened?"
"Someone's coming this way!" The young man grabbed the small pyramid and ran out the door.
After the group got into the car, Lin Xia didn't see anyone come over.
"How did we alert them?" The short-haired girl's face was pale, and her voice was somewhat panicked.
"Who are they?" Lin Xia frowned.
"They're a special team from Iris City that captures people with psychic abilities; they're all superhumans." The woman with the high ponytail was also a little pale. "Are they really after us?"
"Yes, that's what he said." The young man drove very fast.
Why are they targeting people with psychic abilities?
The boy in the front row gave Lin Xia a strange look: "Where did you come from? How come you don't know anything? People with mental abilities are being invited or captured by all sides. The City of Superpowered Individuals is the most friendly place for people with mental abilities."
“The arrests in other cities are all imitating the City of Superpowers. They think we are going to do experiments, so they follow suit, wanting to exchange benefits with the City of Superpowers or to take them back for their own experiments.”
"Isn't it said online that people with mental abilities are rare and useless?"
The short-haired girl glanced at her and replied, "That was in the past. Although there were few people with mental abilities, now that research has made new breakthroughs, people with mental abilities have become the object of competition among all parties."
"You're a psychic, aren't you?" the young man said in a deep voice, not as a question.
Lin Xia didn't speak. She knew she had been exposed, and it was likely related to her dream.
Sure enough, the young man continued, "Although we don't have a way to break through the nightmare, we can already monitor the dream. You used your mental power in the dream, and it was detected by the people of Iris City."
Lin Xia silently removed the shackles from their hands and feet, and the four men showed expressions of surprise and delight.
She probed the shackles with her mental energy, and the moment her mental energy made contact, the shackles clicked open and flew into her hand.
"A psychic?!" the girl with the high ponytail exclaimed. The boy in front of her rolled his eyes at her: "You're only just realizing that?"
"Now, I will ask questions, and you will answer them."
The short-haired girl looked at her with sparkling eyes: "Ask away."
"Where are you taking me?"
"It truly is a city of superpowered individuals," the short-haired girl said sincerely.
"Why did you bring me along the night before last?"
The group hesitated for a moment, then the short-haired girl said, "We're afraid you'll ruin things..."
"Something bad happened?" Lin Xia looked at her: "You left so late at night. If you don't care about me, I can't do anything to you even if I get up."
The short-haired girl frowned: "I just think it's dangerous for you to be there alone, and you're quite good at fighting. The city of superhumans is still short of people."
"Is that so? Are there very few people with mental abilities?"
The girl with the high ponytail had bright eyes: "Very few, almost all of them are in the City of Superpowered Individuals. They are our hope for breaking through the nightmare."
What are they doing there?
“We’re not entirely sure about that either, but all psychics are protected from the nightmares.” The short-haired girl looked at her as if she were a treasure: “My name is Qiao Qiao. Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you. We’ll escort you to the City of Psychics.”
“That’s right, you don’t need to be so wary of us. The protection of those with mental abilities is the top priority for the people with superpowers in the City of Superpowers,” the boy sitting in front said excitedly.
"You don't need to doubt it. We can get a lot of rewards for escorting you back safely, which doesn't conflict with your interests." The woman with the high ponytail lowered her guard.
“They’re right. You don’t need to worry about being experimented on. Our City of Superpowers will only help them improve their mental strength as quickly as possible,” the young man finally spoke.
"Is there a way to improve mental strength?" Lin Xia asked in surprise.
"That's right, enhancing mental strength, gathering the mental strength of all those with mental strength, breaking through the nightmare blockade, and finding the culprit—this is the best solution we've found in the last 30 years," the young man said confidently.
Lin Xia lowered her eyes in deep thought. The direction was correct, but the result might not be as satisfactory as expected.
“You don’t need to worry. Iris City is the closest city to the City of Superpowered Individuals. We have people stationed here, and they have already gone to negotiate,” the young man said.
Lin Xia didn't say anything more. She was indeed very interested in ways to improve mental strength, but she didn't have high hopes. Surely a person with mental strength couldn't suddenly comprehend a technique and be able to cultivate mental strength?
“You don’t need to think too much. It’s best for you to come with us now. Your mental power appeared in the dream and has been recorded. The next time you use your mental power, it will be detected. The City of Superpowered Individuals is the safest place for you.” The young man glanced at Lin Xia in the rearview mirror.
Lin Xia remained noncommittal. In this place where technology was so far ahead of Earth, she couldn't deny what they said, but she knew that nowhere was safe for her, so going to the City of Superpowered Individuals wouldn't hurt.
It's the seventh day now. It would be best to find a way to cultivate spiritual power. If not, we can only try to find a solution in our dreams.
Although she experienced three post-apocalyptic worlds, her mental strength was always with her when facing crises, making great contributions. In nightmares and life-or-death situations, using her mental strength was almost instinctive.
Although no evidence was found, the threads that appeared at the end of the dream about the giant worm connected everyone, including her, and there must be something in their minds that was influenced by that worm.
