Chapter 74 Compliance Interrogation

‘Should I remind Ling Tong?’

Just as Wang Jixuan was about to use his spiritual sense to transmit his voice, Ling Tong’s clear and gentle voice came from ahead.

“Violator of psychic powers has been marked.”

Ling Tong raised her right hand and made a gesture:

“Researcher Qin Qin, in light of your previous illegal and irregular conduct, the D5 Comprehensive Theater Command has now officially issued an arrest warrant for you. Please cooperate.”

Two military psionicists approached.

Qin Qin still had a smile on her face.

The old man, addressed as ‘Uncle Feng,’ narrowed his eyes and let out a cold snort.

An invisible shock rippled out from between the old man’s eyebrows, sweeping indiscriminately in front of him!

The two psionicists trembled a few times and were about to crouch down with their heads in their hands, but before they could even begin to crouch, a transparent light shield appeared around Ling Tong, and she had already rushed out!

The robotic arm pushes forward and extends horizontally; the Destruction Cannon is activated!

An invisible wall seemed to appear in front of Uncle Feng, and an invisible hammer slammed down on Ling Tong’s head!

Sudden.

A buzzing sound came from behind Ling Tong. Two military personnel deftly tore off their military jackets, revealing crimson and dark blue painted mechanical arms and combat suits. The barrels of four destruction cannons were aimed at Uncle Feng’s head.

Uncle Feng made a split-second decision, leaping and rolling to the left!

He should be a psychic, but his physical abilities are much stronger than those of an ordinary D-level body-enhancing psychic. His dodging posture and rolling speed were… quite pathetic.

Ling Tong rushed to Qin Qin without any hindrance, grabbed Qin Qin by the neck and threw her to the ground, stepped on her back, and aimed the destruction cannon of the left mechanical arm at Uncle Feng’s head.

“I don’t want to start a war between the Psionic City and the D5 War Zone because of a researcher.”

Ling Tong said softly:

“But if you directly reach into the D5 war zone, I will immediately eliminate the dangerous elements who have secretly infiltrated the fortress.”

“Now, get out.”

Uncle Feng slowly got up.

At this moment, the four C-level psionicists in the laboratory, along with Uncle Feng’s subordinates, all stared at Ling Tong with a somewhat bewildered expression.

Uncle Feng sneered, slowly turned around, and said with narrowed eyes:

“Very good, the D5 war zone lives up to its reputation. That devilish commander-in-chief has trained a bunch of little devils.”

The robotic arm emitted a synthesized electronic voice: “Destruction Cannon Level 2 Preparation.”

“Let’s go!”

Uncle Feng glanced at Qin Qin and led his men toward the door.

Qin Qin was about to call out when Ling Tong stomped her foot slightly, and she immediately lost her voice, coughing incessantly.

Uncle Feng led his men out, and the two combat girls smiled, raised their palms towards Uncle Feng, and considerately ‘escorted’ Uncle Feng and these psionicists away.

Wang Jixuan felt a sharp gaze.

Uncle Feng seemed to be threatening him, pointing to the front of Master Wang’s helmet.

Master Wang did not react at all.

【Just a somewhat troublesome demonic cultivator.】

The two humanoid mechs escorted Uncle Feng and the others to the elevator entrance. As the elevator ascended, Wang Jixuan continued to eavesdrop using his spiritual sense.

The discussion among these psionicists was also quite interesting.

“Uncle Feng, are we just going to put up with this?”

“There are three half-human mechs here. Unless there are three of me here.”

“Uncle Feng, what do we do now? Are we really going to go back like this?”

“This place has just been attacked by a horde of Blade Beasts… Immediately send a message to headquarters and have them announce that they are sending reinforcements to Fortress 76 in the Middle Basin. We are the reinforcements sent here to provide support.”

“Uncle Feng, you’re so wise!”

“Uncle Feng is wise!”

“Hmph, that Ling Tong, she’ll get what’s coming to her sooner or later!”

Upon hearing this, Master Wang suddenly remembered something.

The fierce battle at dawn did not involve these guys hiding here.

The Taoist priest mentally raised the threat level of these five psychics.

【Just an evil demonic cultivator who is of no use to human society.】

‘Find an opportunity to snipe him.’

…

The two humanoid mechs who came to help out didn’t enter the lab; they stood at the entrance chatting.

This was clearly a couple, both older than Ling Tong. The mechanical girl had long, wine-red hair and was 40% complete in her modification. The mechanical base was even more ruthless, with its modification nearly 60% complete, leaving only its head and torso intact.

Correspondingly, this mechanical-based older brother’s combat power is a notch above that of Ling Tong.

The two of them originally came to provide support, but they hadn’t found a suitable opportunity to enter yesterday before the blade beasts had already retreated. Now, however, they’ve come in handy.

As for what happened inside the lab… that’s none of their business.

They wouldn’t steal Xiao Lingtong’s achievements.

Qin Qin was handcuffed, carried by Zheng Shiduo, and taken to a corner of the Psionic House laboratory.

The boy lay quietly inside the crystal nutrient tank, his body covered with sensors.

Zheng Shiduo sighed, “Alas, this little fellow is so pitiful.”

Ling Tong turned her head and said, “Please invite Mr. Black Storm in for a moment.”

“They’re here.”

Wang Jixuan strolled in, hands behind his back, as if taking a walk after a meal.

As they passed the laboratory entrance, the mechanical engineer suddenly attacked, slapping Wang Jixuan on the back.

Wang Jixuan swayed, dodging the other party’s greeting, and then turned around to extend his right hand, giving the other party’s mechanical arm a light handshake.

“Hello.”

“Haha, I mean no harm! Hello, my codename is Deep Sea, and this is my wife, codename Red Serpent. Let’s have a couple of drinks together later!”

“Okay,” Wang Jixuan nodded with a smile and turned to enter the laboratory.

His spiritual senses could detect the hushed conversation between the two cyborgs.

“That was a quick reaction.”

“His energy level was only E, but he still managed to take down a mid-level Triceratops.”

—At this moment, Wang Jixuan did not activate his Qi Sea.

“Honey, that was a team effort, not a one-man show. It was mainly because Captain Zheng’s taunting skills were too good.”

“I’m warning you! Stay away from Zheng Shiduo! He’s a monster!”

Wang Jixuan withdrew his spiritual sense and glanced at Qin Qin, who was being carried by Zheng Shiduo. The latter’s face was ashen, completely devoid of her previous high spirits.

Ling Tong said, “This boy is Meng Caiyuan, and he is still unconscious.”

“Hmm,” Wang Jixuan raised his hand and placed it on the crystal nutrient tank, carefully sensing it.

A B-rank psionicist who is gradually collapsing.

One common characteristic of psychics is that their bodies can adapt to psychic energy; in Meng Caiyuan’s body, there is a psychic energy damaging his internal organs.

Wang Jixuan immediately recognized what that spiritual energy was.

Blade Beast Remnant Soul!

It can be seen as the resentment of the remnant soul of the Blade Beast!

This condition is not difficult to treat. Simply purify the resentment and place a demon-suppressing talisman on the boy’s forehead to greatly alleviate his pain. There is no need to do this… Inject a large amount of medicine to keep him in a deep sleep.

Master Wang gestured to Ling Tong and led her aside.

The two leaned so close they were almost shoulder to shoulder. Just as Ling Tong was about to speak, a voice entered her ear.

Spiritual communication.

“His spiritual energy exceeds that of eight Zheng Shiduo, but is lower than that of Uncle Feng from before.”

“He should only have three months left to live, after which he will die from organ failure, with his brain and other internal organs failing simultaneously.”

Ling Tong asked softly, “Is he able to wake up now?”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“It should be possible. You can try to get Qin Qin to cooperate first. If she doesn’t want to cooperate, I have other methods.”

Wang Jixuan simply transmitted his voice:

“However, I must make it clear to you that although I can save this person, whether or not I do so is up to my own judgment… Is he really that valuable?”

“He can influence the Blade Beast horde.”

Ling Tong simply said:

“Moreover, I just tested it, and because it was a failed product, it didn’t have a self-destruct chip installed in its brain.”

“The only thing that is uncertain now is whether he can communicate with that young queen beetle.”

Wang Jixuan pondered for a moment: “I will try my best not to make a move.”

Ling Tong turned to look at Qin Qin, who was covered in dust and dirt: “Wake him up.”

Qin Qin shrugged and curled her lip: “This is a precious asset of our Thirteenth Institute. If you touch it without authorization, you are declaring war on our Thirteenth Institute.”

Ling Tong glanced at Zheng Shiduo: “Captain Zheng.”

“Yes, Major! Give the order!”

“Interrogation procedures must not involve personal insults or sexual abuse.”

“clear!”

Zheng Shiduo smiled with narrowed eyes, slapped Qin Qin on the neck with a chop, grabbed her and rushed to a corner, calling over three female team members who clearly hated the researchers from the Thirteenth Institute.

Ling Tong and Wang Jixuan turned their backs.

As long as she doesn’t see it, there’s no need to include it in the daily observation report.

“That Uncle Feng is going to cause a lot of trouble.”

Ling Tong said softly:

“B-level psionicists can usually contact the higher-ups of the Thirteen Institutes, which is not easy to deal with.”

Wang Jixuan asked in bewilderment, “How come the Thirteen Institutes are so powerful? Can they achieve such a high status just by relying on their psychic technology?”

“Of course not. Behind the 13th Institute is a large group of multinational capital from the golden age… Those biological experiments were originally funded by these multinational capitals, who directly conducted human experiments.”

“【The Thirteenth Biological Research Institute】 is a sanctuary created by the remnants of the big capital and big families of the Golden Age. 【The City of Psionic Energy】 is the ideal country they created. 【Psionic Energy Users】 are tools for them to maintain their own interests.”

“Later, because psionicists played an important role in the war, these forces held human society by the throat, forcing human society to acknowledge psionicists.”

Ling Tong provides a detailed explanation:

“Now is the era of fortresses. There is not much communication between fortresses or between war zones. Most of the communication is about the allocation of supplies.”

“The essence of a war zone is a military-political complex in a local area.”

“The Thirteen Institutes set up psionic homes in each fortress in an attempt to influence the entire human society.”

“The hegemony of the psionic capital has now fallen into the hands of the top psionicists. They have inherited the legacy of those multinational corporations, as well as the will of those vampires.”

“Space fortresses represent a different development path; they will resort to last resorts when necessary to preserve the flame of civilization for humankind.”

Wang Jixuan asked, “So now, on a global scale, who has the advantage, humans or bladed beasts?”

“It must be the Blade Beast, with an absolute advantage.”

Lingtong said:

“Blade Beasts have many characteristics that we cannot understand.”

“More than eighty years ago, when Blade Beasts occupied 60 percent of the surface world, the activity of the main Blade Beast groups suddenly dropped significantly. They hid in the strata and suddenly stopped moving. Now, the active Blade Beast groups are only a small number of peripheral groups and newly bred groups.”

“And in the ocean?” Wang Jixuan asked.

“Blade Beasts can continuously evolve. They don’t like the ocean, but in order to attack the floating fortresses we originally set up in the ocean, they evolved into marine variants.”

Ling Tong crossed her arms and said with great interest:

“According to the investigation, Blade Beasts can absorb the genes of some organisms. They have individuals specifically designed for evolution and mutation. They produce different mutants by laying a large number of eggs, then kill the unfavorable mutants and leave the favorable mutants.”

“This iteration speed is often very fast.”

“Therefore, many mutated psionicists, or balanced psionicists, can bring out many animalistic traits.”

Wang Jixuan: ……

He also thought that the mutated psionicist had been corrupted by demonic energy and had become half-demon.

Yes, believe in science.

From behind came Qin Qin’s muffled pleas for mercy:

“You guys… at least scare me a little first… scare me a little and I’ll say… no need to hit… don’t hit me anymore…”

Ling Tong asked softly, “Are you feeling better now?”

“Huh? I’m not angry with her.”

“Because she’s a woman with a great figure? She clearly offended you before.”

“I just think these kinds of people are a bit noisy,” Wang Jixuan shrugged. “Compared to that, I’m more bothered by them causing trouble behind our backs while we’re fighting the enemy on the front lines.”

Ling Tong nodded and turned around.

The three female psychics immediately jumped away from Qin Qin and stood aside with their hands behind their backs.

Compliance, elegance, restraint, and rationality.

Zheng Shiduo dragged Qin Qin, whose head had turned into a pig’s head, over and thoughtfully helped her straighten her clothes so that she wouldn’t be barely clothed.

“Researcher, how did you manage to fall and get like this?”

Qin Qin closed her eyes, not daring to refute, and asked in a trembling voice, “What…what do you want? I can give you anything, but this experimental sample is very precious…he’s almost dead…he himself had no concept of the Thirteenth Institute or the military…he was born in the lab, he’s a clone…please, can I finish writing that paper…?”

Wang Jixuan raised an eyebrow: “Make her hand over that research paper and erase the author’s name.”

Qin Qin strained to open her swollen eyes, gritting her teeth as she prepared to fight.

…

The information about Meng Caiyuan quickly fell into the hands of Ling Tong and Wang Jixuan.

Wang Jixuan flipped through a few pages, just about to use the nutrient tank to wake Meng Caiyuan for interrogation, when his spiritual senses twitched slightly.

A pair of eyes were watching him.

Meng Caiyuan was still unconscious, but there was a faint shadow above his forehead.

Soul?

“Ling Tong, go outside for a moment and turn off all the cameras here.”
