Chapter 622: Getting Involved

“Sir Godfather.”

In the early morning of the fourth day, Chen Chen was awakened by Little X again. When he opened his eyes, he saw Little X’s somewhat serious expression.

“Something new happened yesterday...”

Little X said in a low voice, “There are more dead people in Detroit. The number of dead is over a hundred. These people died in the same way as before. All of them were emptied of their blood and internal organs.”

Chen Chen’s heart sank when he heard this. Sure enough, the situation he least wanted to see had occurred. He asked at once, “Then, what about the headquarters in Northern America? Didn’t they send the psionic boy there?”

“He has been transferred. I haven’t found the specific location yet. The only news I know is that, given that this boy is too dangerous, Northern America has anesthetized him fully to suppress his dreaming ability.”

“If he has been transferred but there are still deaths in Detroit, then the situation needs more consideration...”

Chen Chen stood up and paced a few rounds, muttering in a low voice.

“The strangest thing is that the psionic boy isn’t on our list of L compound injections at all.”

Little X followed up by saying, “There are only two possibilities for this situation. Either he has been injected with L compound by chance or he’s the offspring of a psionicist. But I’ve checked his parents’ background and they aren’t psionicists. Does that mean it’s the first possibility?”

“No, maybe there’s a third possibility.”

Chen Chen interrupted Little X. “That is... He naturally awakened his psionic powers.”

Little X was stunned. She did not understand why Chen Chen would think in this manner.

“Remember the psionicist that I found who was born in the Ares Science City on Mars before?”

Chen Chen said, “When the baby was born, I sensed the presence of the subspace. At that time, I had an intuition. Perhaps the mysterious power of psionic energy is related to the subspace...

“And now that I think about it, the baby’s birth time was the moment when we sent the Blacklight colonial spacecraft into the subspace for a long voyage. Perhaps it was at that moment when we opened Pandora’s box. The power of the subspace became formally linked to human beings then...”

Hearing Chen Chen’s words, Little X’s heart shuddered. For some reason, through Chen Chen’s words, she detected a faint smell of blood and fire.

Just when the two of them fell into silence, Little X suddenly received a communication request. She looked at it and then said, “01 is contacting you. Will you accept?”

Chen Chen thought for a while and nodded immediately. “Connect me to 01.”

With that, Chen Chen’s bedroom flickered and gained the appearance of a conference room. 01 was sitting upright at the table.

Although it was just a figure and Chen Chen could not see the other person’s expression, from 01’s physical posture, Chen Chen immediately saw how the situation was like for 01.

“05...”

Seeing Chen Chen appear, 01 instantly spoke but when the words came to his lips, he could not speak them.

“I know why you came to me.”

At this time, it was Chen Chen’s turn to be sitting calmly at the table and lightly tapping the tabletop. “Did something in the Northern American headquarters of the foundation?”

“You knew about that already?”

01 stood up abruptly.

“I didn’t need to know it. It’s simple enough to deduce through simple reasoning.”

Chen Chen said placidly, “The first incident of the psionic boy was three days ago. At that time, only two people died, his mother and her lover. The second incident happened in the welfare home two days ago. Over a hundred innocent people died in the welfare home.

“Just the day before yesterday, it was the third incident. Because the place where George was detained was near task force five in the foundation headquarters, it was found that task force five was completely wiped out the next day, and dozens of researchers were also killed...

“Then yesterday, you transferred George, thinking you could remove the danger, but I just received news this morning that over a hundred people died again in Detroit overnight. So, it was easy to harbor a guess regarding the consequences.”

After a pause, Chen Chen judged. “If I’m not wrong, since there are still people dead in Detroit, then the Northern American headquarters of the foundation should’ve even more people who died.”

Hearing Chen Chen’s judgment, 01 had to be silent.

After a long time, he nodded. “You’ve guessed it. Last night, at the Northern American headquarters, except for a few psionicists who survived, all the others are dead... Including our task force three.”

Chen Chen narrowed his eyes at once when he heard this. Although he expected that the loss in Northern America should be pretty serious, he did not expect it to be so serious. After all, task force three was a task force composed entirely of psionicists. If the reality anchor did not come into play, they were several times stronger than task force five.

“So, I’ve come to you this time because I want to borrow a reality anchor.”

01 continued to speak, his voice rather heavy and hoarse. Obviously, because of his status, he had rarely asked for help in such a humble voice. “We must seal the power of the psionic boy, otherwise, the situation is likely to get worse and worse.”

“I remember that wasn’t what you said yesterday.”

Chen Chen flashed a kind smile upon hearing this.

“I hope you can think of the greater good, 05.”

01 continued, in a sincere voice. “If there’s a need for an exchange, we can work with you to study the powers of the psionic boy.”

Chen Chen was tempted after hearing this. Indeed, there were many bizarre powers among the psionicists. Some were useful, some were useless, and the useful ones were just like the subspace navigator, which could even influence the historical progress of human civilization. The psionic boy had another sort of ability.

“In that case, it’s a deal.”

Chen Chen replied, “But there’s one point that I need to negotiate with you. The reality anchor is extremely precious. Therefore, I will not give it to you directly, but it will be carried by the personnel I’ve employed. At the same time, these personnel will not follow your orders and we’ll act of our own volition during the entire process.”

“No problem.”

01 secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “As long as the public order on our side isn’t disrupted, it’s fine. When will those task force members arrive? I’ll send someone to meet them.”

“No, we’ll go to Northern America and we won’t use the conventional way.”

Chen Chen waved his hand and then ended the communication.

“Sir Godfather, are we going to help them?”

Little X was a little unhappy and said, “When there are benefits, they monopolize them, but when they encounter danger, they want our people to bear the brunt. How can there be such a one-sided arrangement in the world?”

“For the time being, we’re still allies who share both victories and losses. Naturally, we must help when we need to help.”

Chen Chen smiled. “Otherwise, if the situation in Northern America gets out of control, we’ll even suffer losses.”

As he spoke, he looked at the report sent by Little X again, and after reading it, he immediately thought about it. “My guess is the same as in this report. I also guessed that the dream of the psionic boy seems to be more than just a murderous ability and that it may be able to linger in reality for a long time. Not only that, but also the bigger question now is... Did those monsters come from the dreams of the psionic boy?”

“Didn’t they?” Little X was a little puzzled. The answer seemed obvious all this while, so she did not understand why Chen Chen asked this.

“Then, how do you explain the sulfur smell that only exists in the subspace?”

Chen Chen glanced at Little X. “This is a presence that only exists in subspace. The last time I sensed this energy was when I was in Ares Science City. So, from where did this psionic boy bring in the subspace energy?”

Little X shook her head naively. Of course, she did not know either.

“Perhaps that’s the case. I have a bold conjecture...”

Chen Chen’s expression suddenly flashed, and he thought of a possibility.

...

In a large industrial park in the suburbs of Washington, five tall stern-faced workers walked out from the place.

These people are wearing dirty work clothes, but under the work clothes, black tight clothing could be faintly seen, and each of them was carrying a thick package.

This was a task force team affiliated with Blacklight Biotechnology.

“How fast...”

A teenager who seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old whistled in admiration, then looked at a tall figure ahead and laughed. “Boss, this kind of teleportation is amazing. In the blink of an eye, we’ve crossed tens of thousands of kilometers. How great it would be to travel this way.”

“Walter, stay vigilant and don’t forget that we’re on a mission.”

The tall figure turned his head and stared at the young man, a little displeased, and then walked out toward the gate.

When they walked out of the industrial park, there was already a temporary car waiting in front of the gate. After everyone got in the car, the car drove toward the foundation headquarters.

Through the journey, they changed their cars twice, and changed into casual outfits, before they swaggered in front of the gate of the farm.

As everyone stopped, several guards dressed as farmers came up to them. The leader of the team took out his ID. “Team eight of task force one, I’m the leader, Alex.”

“You guys are quick.”

The farmer shot them an astonishing look. Just a second ago he had received an order that someone would be coming by today or tomorrow, and they had shown up.

He took the other party’s ID, then walked into the phone booth next to him, scanned it with a laser before he walked out and nodded. “Let them go in.”

Then, the other farmers welcomed the five people into the farm.

When the elevator doors opened, the five people’s expressions changed. Their psionic powers noticed a strong sulfur stench at almost the same moment the elevator door opened. Although it was the first time they smelled it, this energy seemed to harbor intense misfortune and malice. All five of them were somewhat disoriented.

“Welcome, soldiers of the task force.”

A pale man in a great white coat greeted them with an unpleasant smile on his face. “Everyone, I’m the temporary person in charge here. If you have any questions, you can ask me and I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“You say ‘temporary’, is that because you’ve just escaped from the hospital?”

The youth could not help but tease.

The team leader glared at the boy again and then stretched out his hand and shook the other man’s hand. “I’m Alex. What’s the situation with you guys now?”

“As you see...”

The pale-faced man smiled bitterly. He pointed to the corpses being transported by the side of the road. “Most of the people in the headquarters suffered from the incident last night. We now need the equipment you’ve brought to solve the problem, otherwise, we’ll completely abandon this place.”

“Who is the enemy?”

Alex could not help asking, “Is it safe here during the day?”

“We don’t know who the enemy is...”

The man shook his head. “It’s currently known that the surveillance cameras and human eyes cannot see the creatures, which seem to be invisible and formless. Even a fully sealed prison cannot stop their movements. However, as stated in the information, it’s safe here during the day. All the deaths had happened in the evening, late night or early morning.”

“That’s good.”

Everyone with Alex relaxed slightly. “Then, lead us to the central location of the headquarters. We’ll activate the reality anchor, but we have a prerequisite requirement, that is, no one besides us is allowed within ten meters of the reality anchor.”

“We understand that.”

The other party nodded and said gratefully, “Do you need lunch before you start?”

“No, let’s start now.”

Alex waved his hand. “We’re only responsible for guarding the device. After it’s been turned on, your people will have to deal with the suppressed enemy.”

The two sides talked briefly and then Alex and his party were taken to the center of the headquarters. Seeing this, the five immediately unpacked the packages they had carried and took out pieces of equipment that had been disassembled into parts.

“Click... Snap...”

“Clack, clack, clack...”

The movements of the five people were well-practiced. It took just a few minutes before a reality anchor, half a meter thick and as tall as a person, was fully installed. In the next second, Alex lifted the instrument that weighed half a ton and stabbed it firmly into the ground!

“Hum!”

An invisible wave swept outward, instantly penetrated the wall, and enveloped the entire base!

This was a small reality anchor.

According to the specifications, reality anchors could be divided into four types: “mini reality anchor”, “small reality anchor”, as well as medium and large ones. The radius that they covered ranged from five kilometers to fifty kilometers. This small model now could blanket all psionic activities within a radius of ten kilometers, with an area of three hundred square kilometers.

Moreover, even in Blacklight Biotechnology, reality anchors were also very rare. The most precious part of which was the zircon permeated with element 126. These zircons needed to be artificially synthesized and element 126 could even be named the world’s most precious material. One gram of element 126 could cost as much as tens of billions of USD in terms of manpower and material resources. Furthermore, one gram of element 126 could only create one medium reality anchor.

As for the giant reality anchor that Chen Chen first acquired, at least tens of grams of element 126 was needed.

At this time, as the fluctuations dispersed, all the psionicists located in the headquarters felt an inexplicable sense of stagnation. Even so, the pungent sulfur presence was also instantly dispelled!

“It works!”

As he sensed that the sulfur stench had dissipated, the person in charge was overjoyed at once.
