Chapter Eighty-Eight: Zefiru
Ji You's heart suddenly burst out, and his pupils shrank.
He finally got in touch, and the voice was the sound of the spirit he saw with the silver flames.
And the wings ......
This scene, of course, can't escape Chongming's insight.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh...... It's nothing. β
On the way back, Ji You was in a daze, obviously thinking about something.
Because before coming out, Chongming suddenly said that after dinner in the evening, let him go to the office and tell him all the scenes he saw when he explored his consciousness.
Of course, the original words are the colonel's usual cold style-
"7 p.m., to the office."
Ji You sighed, I don't know why, he didn't want to tell anyone about the picture he saw, even if it was Chongming.
ββ¦β¦β
No, wait......
Why did he use the word "even"?
He paused suddenly, stunned by his own thoughts. When...... He actually put that bastard colonel on the ...... Placed in a very important position?
"Hey, poor little man," Yu Xiao patted him on the shoulder, expressing sympathy. "Don't worry, I think back then, I was also a newcomer, and I was pulled by the captain to talk alone, huh...... It's scary to think about. It's okay. β
Ji You came back to his senses and heard such a sentence: "......"
What about the logic?! Are you comforting him or scaring him?! But more importantly-
"You're short! Your whole family is short!! Ji You said wildly.

In the conference room of the alliance, a group of high-ranking officials sat at a round table, listening to the commander's questioning.
"Ladies and gentlemen, an emergency that has never occurred in EA's hundreds of years of history has happened today."
Even though he was on such an occasion and said such serious words, Commander Xiao Yun was still in a relaxed state with his back to the back. It is conceivable that Major Qiu Yiya is following whose characteristics.
He glanced around the crowd and focused his gaze on the center of the round table, where a video replay of the "earthquake" that had occurred at the EA base and nearby area half an hour earlier was on the screen.
"For 17 minutes, except for Colonel Shigeaki, no officer or researcher was able to take effective measures on their own initiative. Whether it is solved or not, I would like to ask you a question-"
Commander Xiao Yun smiled and said, "If the place where this emergency happened is not the EA Alliance, but other populous cities, then what can you all do?" β
"How many ordinary civilians can you save in a limited amount of time?"
"Except, of course, ordering Colonel Shigeaki to do this. Don't tell me, all of you who are doing it, you are ready to retire and go home, do the things that call the shots, and then retire. β
ββ¦β¦β
For a while, no one in the conference room dared to make a sound, but there was a sense of embarrassment and dissatisfaction in their expressions.
Among them, a man in a military uniform and white gloves stared at the central light screen the whole time, as if there was something on it that attracted him.
This person was none other than the director of the Fourth Research Institute, R. Ellen Zefiru.
Finally, he turned his head to Commander Xiao Yun, who had also been looking at him for a long time, and a cold smile appeared on the director's handsome face.
"What does the Commander seem to want to ask me?"
Xiao Yun also smiled and asked him, "Isn't it Director Zefeilu who wants to ask me?" β
"Yes." Zefiru affirmed. "After all, I've just come back from Italy, and I don't know much about somethingβ"
"The new addition to the Special Operations Department, it seems special? It is said that Colonel Shigeaki found a breakthrough because of his 'consciousness connection' at that time, right? β
"You're as well-informed as ever, the advisor told you." Commander Xiao Yun said without changing his face.
The consultant refers to Gu Danqing.
"After all, it is Mr. Gu at the senior level, if you don't understand, you still have to learn more from him."
Zefiru's purple eyes were cold from the inside out.
"Then you might as well ask Chongming, I'm also waiting for his reply. But...... All of you here, please submit to me a review report of more than 1,000 words tomorrow. β
Commander Xiao Yun raised his eyebrows and ordered politely.

When it was time to eat in the evening, Ji You didn't eat a few bites.
There was one thing he still didn't worry about, why was he the only one who could hear the voice of that huge animal spirit? Since it can cause the entire base to shake, it is impossible for no one of the Adepts not to be aware of it.
Like that bastard Chongming, isn't he just as easy to see spirits? He couldn't have felt nothing when the spirits that were walking around him went berserk.
Ji You said goodbye to Yu Xiao and walked back to his newly assigned room from the cafeteria.
But before he could reach the door, he saw a figure in a white coat at the front of the corridor, standing there talking to someone.
Huh? Gu Yisheng? How did he get here??
Oh yes, he's also a member of a team of nine, and counting himself, it's a total of 10 now.
He saw that Gu Yisheng was about to leave after talking to others, so he hurriedly ran up and stopped him:
"Big Brother Scientist!"
This salutation, the power is comparable to tens of thousands of new instruments placed in front of Gu Yisheng for him to study, and Gu Yisheng turned his head "swish"!
"Oh roar, I knew it was you! Brave boy! What's wrong? β
Ji You grinned heartily, "I just wanted to find you, big brother scientist, I want to ask, do you have a way to call up the virtual actual combat video of that day?" β
ββ¦β¦ Video? Would you like to see it? Yes, it's okay, it's not difficult to do such a small thing, I'll send it to you when I get back. How? Just came here and worked so hard? β
Ji You raised his hand and grabbed his hair, knowing that Gu Yisheng had misunderstood, thinking that he needed a video and really wanted to train more.
"Aha...... Uh, anyway...... I felt that it was always a good idea to look at the experience gained, but I was so frightened that I didn't even notice how the virtual spirits were attacking. β
- Actually, because there was a sound in the video, it was not easy to encounter that strange little silver flame, but with the video of that day, maybe he could know where the cry of the big animal spirit at that time probably came from.
Gu Yisheng didn't think much else, and when he heard Ji You say this, his affirmation of him became even more profound.
"Okay, it's good to take a look, and I'll send you a copy of Colonel Chongming's ability training before. The training room's system is based on the combination of data from the world's ability to participate in actual combat scenarios. It's important to you, to the Special Operations Department, and to the entire community of Anomalous people. β
Ji You was stunned for a few seconds by the sense of responsibility that couldn't be concealed in his words.
"Ah, good, good. I'll do my best. β
He replied like this, and the faint confusion in his heart disappeared, why did Gu Yisheng say it so ......
At that time, he had just joined EA, and he didn't understand the real meaning behind these words.
Before leaving, Gu Yisheng turned around and asked casually:
"By the way, where I implanted that chip in you later, there was no other stress reaction, right?"
Ji You blinked, looked at his arm, and suddenly realized: "Haha, no, it's okay, I didn't feel it at all." β
"That's good, some people have a sensitive body defense system, and the chip actually has an allergic reaction when it goes in...... What a ......."
"Mmmm, don't worry, big brother scientist, I'm fine."
Gu Yisheng waved his hand and went back to his dear research room, ready to hug the machine.
