Chapter 189 : Chapter 189
Chapter 189
[Huh? This looks like an interrogation room? (Maomao shocked)]
[Why are they locking up the protagonist group, sob sob? The thing with my Xue already stabbed me once, are you trying to stab me again here? (Smiling while vomiting blood)]
[It probably isn't to abuse the protagonist group. You can tell from Meng Woyi's attitude, but I don't know why they're locked up.]
[Wait, since we're at the B City SAIDB, does that mean I can see Yu Muyang now! (Husky's smile)]
[Then can my super cute Yiyi-baby also make an appearance? (Cupping face)]
[Since two members of a squad have been mentioned, then I'll take the tsundere Meng Xizhou that no one has mentioned~ (Delighted)]
In the manga, the door to a room was opened.
The camera's perspective was facing the door. Meng Woyi appeared outside, holding a glass of watermelon juice with floating ice cubes, a straw stuck in the rim.
He took a sip of the watermelon juice and said, "Little Bao, you should be awake, right? When I used my special ability on you, I controlled it specifically. It should be about time."
In the next panel, the camera turned to the person he called "Little Bao."
Ling Feng raised his head, his deep azure eyes looking at him. His fair face was a little flushed, "I've told you not to call me that."
"Yo, why are you getting shy all of a sudden?" Meng Woyi leaned against the doorframe, looking a bit carefree, "That's your nickname, what's there to be shy about? So many big brothers and sisters in the SAIDB call you that..."
Next was a close-up of Ling Feng's expression. He was glaring at Meng Woyi.
Meng Woyi immediately compromised, making a surrender gesture with one hand, "Alright, alright, is it okay to call you Little Feng?"
Ling Feng didn't say anything, which was considered a tacit agreement.
[Maomao Ling Feng's nickname is actually Little Bao? It's a bit cute hahaha!]
[Meng Woyi knows Ling Feng's nickname, which means they've known each other for many years, right? Or at least they have a relationship where they know each other's "dark history." They must be very close. (Propping chin on hands)]
[He even went easy on Maomao Ling Feng when using his special ability, and now he's come to find him. He must be revealing something first, right?]
[Wait, what is Meng Woyi drinking! That color... isn't that iced watermelon juice! The smell of my daughter's lure-pheromone!]
[Haha, for every glass of iced watermelon juice Meng Woyi drinks, an innocent Xiao Xi is killed. (Doge emoji)]
Meng Woyi didn't enter the room either, just stood at the doorway and said, "You know what's going on, right?"
"I roughly know," Ling Feng said, "It's because of Yuan Lan's special ability, right?"
Meng Woyi nodded and continued, "You know, the information you reported said that his special ability can control others. According to regulations, all SAIDB members, after fighting with a special ability user with this kind of ability, must be brought back to headquarters for a willpower test to prevent being controlled by the enemy without knowing it and becoming a mole planted by the enemy here."
Ling Feng said calmly, "Yes, I know."
Behind every seemingly impersonal regulation, there was a bloody lesson.
Meng Woyi took another sip of iced watermelon juice, the mouth under his sunglasses carrying a curve, "The higher-ups want to test you first. In five minutes, someone will inquire you about the events at Dream Game City, then take you for a willpower test. After you pass, the Old General wants to see you."
"What?" In the next panel, Ling Feng's eyes widened, as if he was very surprised, "Grandpa is here?!"
Meng Woyi's attitude became much more serious, even a little earnest, "Not long after you reported that emergency situation, the old man came here in a hurry. He's been waiting for you for a long time."
Ling Feng's expression was a mixture of self-blame and annoyance, as if he was blaming himself for making his grandfather worry.
[Holy crap, the amount of information in this conversation is explosive! (Holding a bowl, stunned)]
[Previously, a prophet on the forum said that Ling Feng's family has an official background. Now it's finally confirmed! He's the Old General's grandson!]
[This "Old General" and "old man" way of addressing him makes me feel like he should be very old...]
[He is very old! Have you forgotten the old man in the army green pants from before? He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, right? (Pondering)]
[His current age must be older than in Maomao Ling Feng's memory.]
[Sigh, he rushed over as soon as he saw the emergency situation. He must love our Maomao Ling Feng very much! (Holding heart) I just wonder if the old man has rested. How long has he been waiting?]
[Does anyone want to discuss that regulation?]
[What's there to discuss about the regulation? They must have suffered from something like this before, so that's why this regulation exists.]
[(Obediently) I suddenly forgive the SAIDB. Since everyone has gone through this, then... Brother Hao, here's a one-day interrogation room experience ticket for you.]
[But there's no need to cuff them, right?]
[If you don't cuff them, who knows what you'll do? If you're really being controlled, who knows how much information a mole could transmit.]
At this moment, the sound of "dada" came from the corridor again.
Meng Woyi turned his head to look at the corridor and smiled, "Yo, you're here early?"
In the next panel, a beautiful long-haired woman appeared outside the door. Her fiery red, medium-length hair fell to her chest, the ends naturally curly, like flowing flames. Her eyes were a slightly lighter brown than usual, looking like melted honey. She was wearing the SAIDB's black and gold-trimmed uniform, with a black pencil skirt on her lower body and red high heels on her feet.
"Hi, Little Bao~" The woman first greeted Ling Feng with a smile, looking very happy, "Long time no see!"
A blush appeared on Ling Feng's face, his expression a little annoyed and embarrassed, "I told you not to call me that."
[Hahaha, another one, the plum blossoms bloomed twice!]
[It's clear that Ling Feng is very familiar with everyone at the B City SAIDB headquarters. Then why was he transferred to Y City?]
[A bold guess, could it be that he couldn't stand everyone knowing his dark history (referring to his nickname), so he ran away from home (?) hahaha!]
[Hahahaha, the guess in front is hilarious, I think it's possible. (Doge emoji)]
[Pretty big sister, let me get close to you! (Shy)]
[This big sister is wearing a pencil skirt, my god! The civilian post in the SAIDB has silver trim, she has gold trim, which means she's a combat personnel. Why is she still wearing a pencil skirt? (Maomao shocked)]
[Maybe pretty big sister's special ability doesn't require her to fight in person. Looking at her red hair, I'm guessing an elemental type fire special ability!]
The woman's honey-like brown eyes curved into an arc, "Calling you Little Feng is fine, but I feel like Little Bao is cuter."
Ling Feng fell silent, perhaps feeling that he couldn't win an argument with her.
Meng Woyi poked the woman's shoulder, "Lin Lexia, I'm a big living person standing next to you. Didn't you notice me?"
"We've been on the same team for so many years, I'm tired of looking at you. Besides, do you lack this bit of attention from me?" Lin Lexia rolled her eyes with personality and answered Meng Woyi's previous question, "Anyway, I'm free now, so I came early."
Meng Woyi asked, "Where's Jing Liang?"
Lin Lexia said, "I don't know. I sent him a message saying I was coming first, then I just left."
Just as the two finished speaking, the manga gave a panel of the corridor. A small black dot could be seen at the end of the corridor, apparently at a great distance.
In the next panel, this black dot was much closer. It turned out to be a man carrying two laptop bags.
Meng Woyi smiled and said, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."
"Lele, you didn't even take your laptop!" After the man ran closer, he raised the laptop bag in his hand with a helpless expression.
This man had gentle, creamy apricot-colored hair and warm, light brown eyes. His features were delicate and kind, and he had a refined and gentle temperament.
Outside the manga, Bai Xuechao, who was reading, paused. He zoomed in on the man's image and studied it carefully for a few seconds.
"Xiao 6, don't you think—" Bai Xuechao said slowly, while Xiao 6's program was tense, "—that he looks a bit like Jing Han?"
Xiao 6 wiped away non-existent cyber sweat and stammered, "Ah, it seems, um... a little bit."
Upon hearing this, Bai Xuechao smiled silently, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.
Xiao 6's attitude had already given the answer.
If he wasn't mistaken, Jing Liang was related to Jing Han by blood and was a mole planted by the Apocalypse Society in the SAIDB.
Since Y City had a Qiao Wenjie, it wasn't strange for B City to have a Jing Liang. When it came to the center of power, it had to be B City where the headquarters was located. There was no reason to only plant a mole in Y City.
He continued reading the manga.
Lin Lexia touched her hair, "Oh, I was just thinking I forgot something."
Jing Liang then said to Meng Woyi, "Woyi, you're back?"
"Ang," Meng Woyi replied casually.
Jing Liang said to Ling Feng, who was sitting in the room, "Little Feng, it's been a while since I've seen you. Are you transferring back this time?"
"No, I already have very good teammates," Ling Feng's eyes revealed a hint of gentleness, "I have no intention of breaking up with them yet."
[Ahhh, Maomao Ling Feng's words moved me so much, sob sob! The protagonist trio is the most perfect! (Scattering flowers)]
[If my daughter and Brother Hao were here, Maomao would definitely not be able to say such things. He's shy. (bushi)]
[This guy named Jing Liang seems to be on good terms with everyone.]
[Hahaha, finally someone who doesn't call Ling Feng "Little Bao." (Laughing to tears)]
[Looking at the dialogue, Meng Woyi and Lin Lexia are definitely teammates. I suspect Jing Liang is also on their team.]
[This creamy apricot color is so gentle, a little warmer than white. I want to dye my hair that color too!]
Lin Lexia clapped her hands, "Alright, we're about to start the inquiry. Will a certain unrelated personnel please leave—"
Meng Woyi smiled, "Are you calling me out?"
Lin Lexia glared at him, "Who else? Also, are those new sunglasses you bought? You look like you're playing the erhu under a bridge."
Meng Woyi argued, "They say this is called retro!"
[Hahaha, I'm going to die laughing. Pretty big sister's words really have that vibe.]
[Retro small round frame sunglasses, you deserve them!]
[Sister Lele, you don't understand. This is a fashion item! Many manga characters have them! (Fainting from laughter)]
The manga used a gradient-colored panel as a transition.
Next was a scene of Ling Feng being sent by Lin Lexia and Jing Liang for a willpower test, followed by two panels of him undergoing the test. The content of the panels was him sitting and answering questions with a pen, and a special ability user seemingly using a special ability on him, with him frowning slightly.
Below this was a scene of Ling Feng walking alone in a corridor. It seemed he had passed the test and was allowed to be free again.
Ling Feng pushed open a lounge at the end of the corridor.
On the sofa in the lounge sat an old man in army green clothes. His hair was graying, and his face was full of wrinkles, looking to be at least ninety years old, but his eyes were bright and piercing.
At this time, the old man was reading a printed document. The manga gave a panel of the content of the document, which was exactly what Ling Feng had said about what happened in Dream Game City.
