âZone... Zone Leader, you are looking for me?â
He didnât make any mistakes... it must be Curly Hair.
âThat cryo-chamber...â
âI donât know. Zone Leader, I donât know anything about that cryo-chamber. He was the one that wanted to take it back.â Little Zhu betrayed Curly Hair instantly.
How does that phrase go... I will not die alone?
Whatever. I will not take the blame for this.
âWhere is he?â
Little Zhu scratched his head. âIn the laboratory. If he doesnât come out, we canât go in.â
Curly Hair had been in the laboratory for a few days. The person that was brought back looked much better now, but he still didnât speak a single word.
He just sat in the room quietly all day. All he did was look into the distance in a daze and sleep.
However, based on the observations, this personâs psychological power was increasing at an exponential rate.
At first, his psychological power was just at level B. After a few days, it was at level A+.
Even Little Zhu said that he had never seen anything like this.
The psychological power of a living thing should be stagnant. Unless they made some breakthroughs, psychological power would remain the same.
No one was able to increase their psychological power so rapidly.
âThis person has great experimental value.â Little Zhu placed his hand on his chin and asked with a serious face, âZone Leader, can I take him back?â
Ming Shu smiled. âIn your dreams.â
âOh man.â Little Zhu leaned on the glass and looked at the person inside. I wanted to research him.
Why did Curly Hair give him to the zone leader!
They brought him back together!
Even if it was a corpse, they still brought him back together!
It was a one-way glass wall. They could see what was happening inside but the person inside would not be able to see them. However, when Little Zhu leaned on the glass and looked at the person greedily, the person inside turned his head and looked at Little Zhu too.
His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the glass and see the people outside.
There was a slight tinge of red in his eyes. It was beautiful but emotionless. It was a little eerie.
âBrr...â Little Zhu suddenly took a step back. He rubbed the goosebumps on his arms.
This person is weird.
Ming Shu opened the door and walked in. The glass outside turned black so that no one could look in.
Ming Shu dragged a chair over and sat opposite him. âWhat is your name?â
No reaction.
Ming Shu asked again, âWhere are you from?â
No reaction again.
Ming Shu asked a series of questions but the person just kept quiet.
Just as Ming Shu thought that he was mute, he suddenly raised his head. âNow, what year?â
His voice was a little hoarse as he hadnât spoken in a long time.
âYear 4723. I thought that you were mute.â
â4... 723...â the man muttered. Then, he became quiet again.
âZone Leader, come out quickly,â Shan Yin said. âHis psychological power is exploding. It passed level S and is still going up.â
Ming Shu looked at the man. He was calm.
âZone Leader!â Shan Yin became anxious. He broke open the door and pulled Ming Shu away.
The data-reading instrument outside was jumping around in a frenzy. It would suddenly leap high and then suddenly drop low again. However, the person inside was composed.
âHe will explode if this goes on.â Little Zhu looked at the screen. âSo unfortunate.â
Once Little Zhu finished his sentence, the data on the screen calmed down. The psychological power wavered between level SS and level S for some time. It stabilized at level S for a while before going back to level A+.
It never moved after that.
âWhat monster is this...â Little Zhu raised his head and saw the man standing in front of the glass. He yelped in shock and swept the items on the table onto the floor.
When did he come over?
Why is he looking at me?
Little Zhu was full of questions.
The person was too weird. For her safety, Shan Yin prohibited Ming Shu from interacting with him again. She could only look at him from outside.
However, besides this incident, he was always calm. He could even answer some simple questions now.
But, he never mentioned his name and background.
â
âZone Leader.â
Curly Hair walked into the room with a nutrient stick in hand. His hair was a mess and there were eye bags under his eyes. He looked extremely tired.
âYou got dried out by someone?â Little Zhu was surprised.
âGo to hell,â Curly Hair scolded. âWhat are you all looking at?â
He looked over at the glass. The person inside had lowered his head.
âWhat happened to him?â
âThis person is a monster. You know that...â Little Zhu told Curly Hair what happened these past few days. âWho do you think he is?â
Curly Hair sucked his nutrient stick. âIf I am not wrong, I can tell you all where he came from.â
Everyone looked at Curly Hair.
âYou know? Who is he? We asked him but he didnât tell us.â Little Zhu was curious.
Curly Hair threw away the finished nutrient stick. He ran his hand through his hair and pulled it back. âJi Nian, the lost young master of the Ji family.â
âJi... Ji family?â Little Zhuâs tone was weird.
The Ji family.
Ji Nian.
Something in Ming Shuâs memory started floating up.
No wonder she found this person familiar.
During a certain period of time, the Hostâs father was in a bad situation so the Host was sent to Hua Xia so that she could be safe. However, something happened during the journey.
She got lost and was adopted into the Ji family.
The person that took her back to the Ji family was Ji Nian.
However, the bright and optimistic Ji Nian in the Hostâs memory was totally different from the weird Ji Nian now.
The Host stayed there for only half a year. After that, her father settled the trouble and took her back.
The Host remembered Ji Nian clearly but as time passed, the memory became vague.
Little Zhu asked, âWhy was he inside the cryo-chamber for 50 years?â
Curly Hair replied, âThe Ji family was a notable family in Hua Xia. After that, the first young lady of the Qiong Si family from Sky Snake Starzone married into the Ji family and the Ji family was famous for a period of time. Ji Nian is the son of the first young lady of the Qiong Si family. When he was tested for his psychological power, it was level SS. However, rumors say that it was higher than level SS, but there was no evidence to prove it.â
This young master of the Ji family was treated well ever since he was born. He was the most outstanding young master of the Ji family.
However, he was an eyesore to some people.
He experienced many assassination attempts ever since he was young.
One day, this young master disappeared and there was no sign of him at all, dead or alive.
His parents died when they tried to find him.
As for why he was in the cryo-chamber, no outsiders would know.
âThis was a huge issue that time. I remember that the old zone leader helped to look for him too.â Cryochamber sighed. âIf the cryo-chamber was not one of the Ji familyâs classic cryo-chambers, I would not have guessed all this.
The Ji familyâs mecha and cryo-chamber were the best in Hua Xia. The entire starzone used them.
However, this prestige was long gone.
