Chapter 47 Going to the Upper City! [Please collect and read! ]
Two invisible forces intersected.
Wang Jixuan felt dizzy and suddenly extremely sleepy.
"Humph!"
Zheng Shiduo groaned and staggered backwards.
Lingtong, who had been observing silently, suddenly took action!
She grabbed Wang Jixuan with her right arm and pulled him back, then punched out with her left arm. The fist left her arm with a tail of flame and hit Zheng Shiduo's neck at a high speed.
Zheng Shiduo knelt down, holding his neck.
"Ahem! Ahem... Shit... We are all acquaintances... Is it necessary to be so ruthless... I am using a sleeping aid..."
Zheng Shiduo's face turned purple.
The fist had opened its fingers, and electric currents were bursting out from the fingertips, causing Zheng Shiduo to faint, trembling all over. His hair was standing on end and his face was black, but he was obviously not in danger of death.
Wang Jixuan felt like he fell into a warm embrace.
Although the heated mechanical arm was still hard, the rest of her body seemed to be... similar to that of a normal woman...
A golden light appeared in front of Wang Jixuan's eyes. He silently chanted the spell and comprehended the truth. The feeling of sleepiness quickly subsided.
Was it Zheng Shiduo who performed the magic just now?
He felt his eyelids getting heavy and he was getting sleepy. He heard the calls of Zhou Zhengde and others.
"What happened! Mu Liang is injured!"
"Team Leader Mu!"
"It turns out that none of the psychics can be trusted!"
Ling Tong said: "Team Leader Mu is fine... Zheng Shiduo released a mild mental interference. He has been trying to stop my investigation in order to protect his friend Professor Zhuang, so I deliberately exposed a flaw to lure him into taking action."
As she spoke, Lingtong tied her long hair into a high ponytail and removed the transparent patch stuck in her hair.
She exerted a little force with her left robotic arm and lifted Wang Jixuan up, and then pulled up the metal box beside her with her right robotic arm.
Ling Tong ordered softly:
"I have already dispatched the armored vehicles of the purge troops. Please tie up Zheng Shiduo. We may be able to get some testimony from him that is unfavorable to Professor Zhuang."
Zhou Zhengde looked at Wang Jixuan on Lingtong's robotic arm.
He actually wanted to carry his comrades on his back.
However, seeing Lingtong's effortless look, Zhou Zhengde didn't know what to say and turned to deal with Zheng Shiduo.
It’s not that Zhou Yanei was scared;
It's just a little necessary respect for the battle girl.
……
This was the first time Wang Jixuan felt so safe since coming into this world.
He took the opportunity to take a short nap, about ten minutes, and then he felt himself being gently placed on the hard seat of a car, and the car started slowly.
About two minutes later, the sound of conversation between several people was heard.
At this time, Wang Jixuan was actually no longer feeling sleepy.
Zheng Shiduo coughed a few times and cursed:
"Ling Tong! Do you really want to kill me? I just wanted to let you sleep!"
"That's the only reason you can still speak so freely here."
Ling Tong didn't know why, her voice was always very soft, she said:
"I have reported your violation to the command center. You will be interrogated when you return."
"Let them interrogate me as they please! At worst, they can just put me in solitary confinement! I'll just treat it as a vacation!"
Zhou Zhengde sighed: "Can you answer a few questions for me, Captain Zheng?"
"No! Only dogs will cooperate with you!"
Zheng Shiduo became a bachelor.
Zhou Zhengde said sincerely: "Then I will send a message to my elders at home and tell them that you want to use mental shock to turn me into an idiot."
Zheng Shiduo: "Can you ask the previous question again?
"Can you answer a few questions for me?"
"Of course, I am happy to share the secrets of psychics with everyone."
Zheng Shiduo cast a coquettish glance at Zhou Yanei.
Zhou Zhengde frowned and asked, "What exactly is the material? Just a simple human individual?"
Zheng Shiduo sighed:
“Not just anyone can become a material, there are three important factors here.
“The three indexes are: mental activity index, resistance to darkness index, and the more metaphysical individual will.
“Only human individuals that meet the baseline for all three indexes can be called material.
"The materials will be sent to the psychic's house in each fortress. There is a set of equipment inside. If you go in and out, there is a 20% chance of survival, and an 80% chance of death. There are various ways to die.
“Fifteen percent of those who survived were able to master psychic powers.
"That is to say, out of a hundred materials, three to four psychics can be born under ideal conditions. Among these three or four psychics, many are E-level psychics or even psychics with no combat power.
"In order to create a C-level psychic, an average of 500 materials must be sacrificed."
Zhou Zhengde was silent.
Wang Jixuan secretly shook his head in his heart.
The Thirteenth Institute is indeed a cult, or even worse than the Demon Cult.
Even if the Demon Cult forged blood demon soldiers, the losses would not be so high.
Zheng Shiduo sighed: "My situation is quite special. I was a glorious warrior at first. I was seriously injured and dying, and then I received a spiritual energy infusion. Then, I took off!"
He continued to mutter:
"Basically, the psychics that the military can directly command have had experiences similar to mine.
“But there are some complex systems involved.
“Distorted, redundant, and inefficient.”
Zhou Zhengde said: "I have previously investigated that every psychic is subject to the person in charge of the station, and the person in charge must be an ordinary human. Why is this?"
“Yes, we call it a direct controlled person.
"I have two direct control persons, besides the command center in the war zone, there is Professor Zhuang."
Zheng Shiduo shrugged slightly:
“The system run by the Thirteenth Institute is very complicated and deliberately secretive, with many scandals.
"At the fortress level, the head of the Thirteenth Station was dominating the fortress with the forty low-level psychics under his control.
"But at the war zone and integrated war zone level, the psychic leaders become loyal dogs ordered around by the military, with their balls tightly held.
“It’s a weird ecosystem, isn’t it?
"The reason is simple. The root cause is that too many people control the lives of psychics."
Zhou Zhengde asked: "Why does each fortress have to have forty psychics?"
Ling Tong explained quickly: "Forty psychics are standard equipment for the fortress. Their role is to prevent the Mimic Blade Beasts from entering the fortress and causing trouble. They do have some meaning."
Wang Jixuan, who was pretending to be asleep, thought for a moment.
Mimic Blade Beast... a transformed monster?
Aren’t the monsters that can transform into human form all old monsters that are at least comparable to the Golden Core stage?
How can a low-level psychic who can't even use his energy properly fight against the Mimic Blade Beast?
Is the Mimic Blade Beast not very strong? Or is it different from the monster beast he understood?
Taoist Wang thought hard.
Zheng Shiduo complained:
"Okay, I'll give you some general knowledge, I hope this can win you a little favor." The following information is deliberately hidden and cannot be seen unless you reach a certain position.
"It all started with the riot in the Psychic City more than sixty years ago.
"Several SS-level psykers in the Psionic City attempted to establish a psionic government for all of humanity and to integrate all resources to help themselves gain greater power. In order to achieve their ambitions, they launched an unknown human civil war - the Psionic City Rebellion."
Wang Jixuan: ...
Ah this!
The people here are almost exterminated by the Blade Beasts, and they still have the mood to seize power internally?
Zheng Shiduo spoke quickly and emotionally:
“These SS-level psykers failed.
“But their power was too great, and no one knew what exactly happened, so the military finally chose to negotiate with them.
"I speculate that it is because many psychics chose to stand with the United Defense Force. Under the pressure of the United Defense Force and the three major space fortresses, these SS-level psychics had to bow their heads. Then they were imprisoned in the center of the Psychic City, the Thirteenth Old Headquarters Building.
"I also heard that they live with a nuclear bomb with the largest yield in human history. If they leave that building, boom! They and the Psychic City will be blown up.
"The psychic system was modified by the military at this time, and the first distortion occurred.
"Through negotiation, it was stipulated that the command of the Psychic Organization must be performed by ordinary human researchers, or war zone commanders and fortress governors themselves.
"When every psychic is born, a self-destruct chip will be placed in their neck. This chip will send signals to several servers at regular intervals.
“After decades of open and covert fighting between the military and the Thirteenth Institute, the situation has become extremely complicated and the distortion has continued to worsen.
"The old men and women in the military who suppressed the rebellion in the Psychic City are almost all dead, but those few SS-level psychics are still alive and kicking. They are constantly trying to regain control of all psychics.
"Kong Nu is just one of their small soldiers."
Zhou Zhengde frowned and said, "My grandfather is still very healthy! He was also the suppressor back then!"
"The guy who transformed himself into a machine doesn't count! He can't be copied!"
Zheng Shiduo sighed and continued to complain:
"Since the permission for infusion at the fortress station has been opened, the person in charge of the first level of the fortress can directly send the materials and the newly trained psychics to the Psychic City at the headquarters.
“Like this Kong Nu.
"Kong Nu's direct supervisor is Professor Zhuang. His daily job is to check on the people in charge of each fortress and coordinate with the war zone to dispatch psychics.
“In fact, there are only a few hundred psychics that Professor Zhuang can directly command, and they are all psychics on the front lines. Professor Zhuang works diligently beside your grandfather, and he really has nothing to do with Kong Nu’s affairs.
“The lives of these psychics in Fortress No. 76 are controlled by the three-level control system, namely: the direct controller Kong Nu, the superior controller Professor Zhuang, and the highest controller Psychic City.
"But Professor Zhuang is on the front line. How can he care about things here?"
Everyone was thinking about it.
Zheng Shiduo's voice was extremely sincere:
“Master Zhou, if possible, I hope you can explain to the commander-in-chief on behalf of Professor Zhuang.
"Lao Zhuang is not only my supervisor, but also my life mentor. He is really innocent. He spends most of his time researching how to optimize the infusion and reduce the number of dead materials. Lao Zhuang is not the same kind of person as Kong Nu, who is trying his best to squeeze into the Psychic City.
"Lao Zhuang is an anti-spiritual state faction, that is, a faction that opposes psychics establishing a state power. He is also a master in the field of psychic infusion."
Zhou Zhengde shrugged: "I will continue to investigate these."
Wang Jixuan opened his eyes, calmly moved his head away from Lingtong's mechanical arm shoulder, and sat up straight.
Zheng Shiduo looked like he had seen a ghost.
"You are an E-class psychic, why do you wake up now? My sleep spell doesn't work?"
"I'm not a psychic," Wang Jixuan stared at Zheng Shiduo's chest, "Captain Zhou, can you show me his pendant?"
Zhou Zhengde pulled off Zheng Shiduo's pendant and handed it to Wang Jixuan.
Wang Jixuan held it in his hand, and his spiritual sense jumped slightly.
This thing is similar to a spirit stone, but much simpler than a monster's core. The purity of its spiritual power is between that of a spirit stone and a monster's core. The metal on the outside has the effect of suppressing fluctuations in spiritual power.
The point is, it can definitely be used to set up an array!
"What are you doing! This is a souvenir of life!"
Zheng Shiduo glared and was about to stand up.
Lingtong, who had been pointing the palm of his right mechanical arm towards Zheng Shiduo, frowned slightly and raised his arm.
Zheng Shiduo immediately sat there obediently, saying aggrievedly:
"Be careful not to break it. It's my good luck charm."
"I'm just a little curious," Wang Jixuan asked with a smile, "What is this?"
"The crystal of the blade beast is also called a crystal core."
Ling Tong said softly:
“The rule on the front line is that you can get the crystal core of the first blade beast you kill. This is the lowest level blade beast crystal core.
“The other crystal cores will be collected and managed by the military and provided to the Thirteenth Institute.
“This is also an important way for the military to influence the Thirteenth Institute.”
Zheng Shiduo muttered in a low voice: "Guess what kind of energy the psychics are infused with? Hehehehe."
Wang Jixuan threw the thing to Zheng Shiduo calmly.
It doesn't have much spiritual power left.
Wang Jixuan asked: "Is this just the crystal core of an ordinary blade beast?"
"Yes," Ling Tong observed Wang Jixuan's eyes, "Are you interested in this?"
“I just think it’s quite memorable.”
Wang Jixuan narrowed his eyes and smiled:
"Where are we going now?"
"Evidence collection, three locations."
Ling Tong briefly explained:
"In the data submitted by the purge team, the command center discovered three locations where the Black Fire Gang had committed serious illegal activities. They were the cloning laboratory, the Saber Beast organ culture room, and... the human and Saber Beast gene fusion experiment site."
Zheng Shiduo was stunned: "Blade, blade beast organ cultivation?"
"Yes."
Ling Tong said calmly:
“The paper published by Professor Zhuang twelve years ago is the only relevant theoretical literature.
"In addition, early investigators also noticed that in the Wanlijin Gang area bordering the Black Fire Gang's territory, there is a large amount of formula soil made from the blood and flesh of blade beasts. There is a batch of this soil every year. The source of the blood and flesh of blade beasts is unknown, and it is suspected to be the defective products of the blade beast organ cultivation experiment.
“That’s my real mission number two.”
She added:
"Just one Kong Nu is not worth spending so much energy on."
Zheng Shiduo was confused: "No, my old man is really Kong Nu's superior? Ah this! That's not what the old man told me."
Wang Jixuan asked: "Major Lingtong, can I go to the upper city to keep an eye on Kong Nu?"
"why?"
"Make sure Kong Nu is eliminated to avoid future troubles."
Ling Tong asked: "Do you distrust the military, or do you think the military's anti-aircraft missiles can't shoot down a plane that has already been locked?"
Wang Jixuan was silent for a few seconds, then said calmly: "I just can't believe in human nature."
Ling Tong thought for a moment, and made a decision. He turned to look at Zhou Zhengde:
"Can Captain Zhou's investigation be followed up? I must prioritize my mission at the command center. Team Leader Mu is only an E-class psychic, so I need you to accompany him to the upper city."
"Okay! I'll go up with Mu Liang! I'm most familiar with the upper city! That's my territory!"
Zhou Zhengde took a deep breath:
"We have such a great tacit understanding that as long as we work together, the sum of our parts is definitely greater than the sum of our parts!
"Hahahaha! Maybe we can get rid of Kong Nu directly!"
Wang Jixuan: ...
He actually wanted to act alone, he said.
