Chapter 244 Shi Min, Let Me Lean On

It was almost fifteen minutes before Lu Yanxu and Pei Zhiyi came out of the bathroom.

The starship's hatches were of exceptionally high quality; once the hatches were closed, you couldn't hear a sound even if you put your ear right up to them.

Moreover, it was impossible for Xiao Chi and the others to listen in.

The three of them waited absentmindedly outside. The moment the door opened, their eyes were immediately drawn to it.

They had both cleaned themselves thoroughly, and neither of them had any lingering smell.

Judging from her complexion, Pei Zhiyi was in slightly better condition than before.

Lu Yanxu followed behind her. Although his clothes had some wrinkles, they were all within the normal range.

Gu Enling felt as if her eyes were scanning back and forth between the two people like a scanner.

After staring at it for a few moments, I realized that what I was doing was a bit pointless.

"Then we'll head back first." Seeing that there was no need to cover for them anymore, Gu Enling looked at Shi Min, who said in a deep voice.

They've been here for almost half an hour.

Pei Zhiyi saw the group out of the room, then took a shower before going to bed.

There is still a tough battle ahead.

*
Some military and government personnel stayed behind to handle the aftermath, while others returned to the main planet with Pei Zhiyi and the others on a warship.

After the warship landed, dozens of people were already standing below them waiting for them.

Pei Zhiyi was surrounded by Shi Min and the other three in the center, with Director Qin and Teacher Jiang standing in front of her.

On the way back, they had already explained to her the possible procedures after landing.

Once you step out of the cabin, you can see the people standing below.

The whole process was actually similar to when they came back from planet B36 last time.

However, this time there was an additional physical examination.

Each person was assigned to a small room, but Pei Zhiyi felt that the rooms this time seemed to be much larger than the last one.

After sitting on the chair for a while, several Alphas, Omegas, and Betas came in.

There were five people. Two Alphas sat at the back, an Omega and a Beta sat at the tables on either side, and the head seat was reserved for the Alpha.

As soon as they sat down, the Alpha spoke up: "Pei Zhiyi, could you describe your mental strength in more detail?"

Pei Zhiyi nodded calmly: "I discovered I had mental powers when school started last September."

That day was the day she first met Shi Min; she remembered it very clearly.

Since she had decided to be honest, Pei Zhiyi didn't hide anything and told everyone how she discovered she could use mental power, how several people discovered her, and how she went to planet B36 with them.

Unbeknownst to her, during her time on the starship, government officials had meticulously investigated her entire life.

Everything is normal at each stage.

The only abnormal thing is that her mental strength surged after she lost her memory.

What was originally classified as a typical accidental mining disaster has been thoroughly investigated several times, for fear that there might be some human experimentation involved.

Thankfully, it turned out to be a false alarm.

It was just an ordinary mine collapse, resulting in only the deaths of Pei Zhiyi's parents, and there were no other minerals in the cave.

They have verified each sample and confirmed that the previous judgment was correct.

Now, listening to Pei Zhiyi explain the whole process again, every single detail matches what she said.

"The second surge in my mental strength occurred on planet B36, when I regained some of my memories."

After listening to Pei Zhiyi's account, the Alpha sitting in the main seat asked a question.

Why did you keep it a secret during the joint entrance exam?

Pei Zhiyi said, "I'm not sure who I can trust."

This even includes school teachers.

She'd seen plenty of ridiculous things happen on campuses on Earth; not everyone is good, and of course, not everyone is bad. She couldn't possibly make a judgment in such a short time.

It's all about treating people with kindness; the reason she dares to trust Director Qin and the others now is because she has learned this from experience.

"Was it Shi Min and the others who taught you how to use mechs and mental powers?" the Alpha asked again.

Pei Zhiyi nodded: "Yes."

Having asked everything he could, the Alpha turned his gaze to the Omega.

Compared to the Alpha's cold and hard attitude, this female Omega was clearly more gentle: "Won't your mental sea become chaotic when using Alpha's mental power?"

"Can I have your hand?"

Pei Zhiyi reached out her hand.

This is the first time she's being probed by another Omega.

She tried using her mental power, and a pen that was clearly perceptible to anyone could be placed on the table, but she couldn't pick it up no matter what she did.

The Omega stared at her intently, then slowly withdrew his hand: "I can't detect anything in your spiritual sea."

This is normal, because it's impossible for one Omega to comfort another Omega.

But Pei Zhiyi isn't a normal Omega; she can use Alpha's mental power, yet we still can't detect her, which seems rather mysterious.

It defies all common sense.

But the spiritual energy was indeed coming from her direction.

Without a doubt, Pei Zhiyi was not lying.

All day long, Pei Zhiyi tirelessly did similar things.

Constant questioning and constant mental tests.

But no matter how many people come, the final result is the same, unchanged from the first time.

Pei Zhiyi's blood sample was no different from the one before she lost her memory.

Only her mental energy mutated; her physical body remained unchanged.

Even the issue of pheromones shows a complete fluctuation line on the daily medical examination forms, suddenly dropping to 0, and then slowly recovering from 0.

Pei Zhiyi submitted her complete private medical records.

Still nothing.

Pei Zhiyi was not allowed to leave until it was completely dark.

The people from the Mental Strength Research Department escorted Pei Zhiyi to the door, where they saw several tall, young Alphas already standing in front of the hovercar.

Seeing the commotion at the gate out of the corner of their eye, the previously silent group of people immediately strode over.

"If there is any further need, we hope Pei Zhiyi can cooperate with us as much as possible," the staff member from the Mental Strength Research Department said routinely.

They were polite, and Pei Zhiyi was polite in return: "Of course."

After the people from the Department of Mental Strength Research left, Director Qin came over and said, "Let's go back to school."

After this incident, it won't be so easy to get people from them again next time.

Pei Zhiyi readily accepted good advice.

Once in the car, Pei Zhiyi sat to the side, with Shi Min beside her. He felt a weight on his shoulder and glanced to the side to see Pei Zhiyi leaning on his arm with her eyes closed.

Her fingers gripped his sleeve.

"Are you feeling unwell?" We've already given her a heads-up, so it's unlikely we'd do anything excessive to examine her.

Shi Min noticed her slightly dry lips and took a bottle of water: "Drink some water."

Pei Zhiyi didn't open her eyes and continued to lean against him, but her hand accurately took the water he handed her: "No, I'm just a little tired, Shi Min."

"Let me lean on you for a bit." After a whole day of questioning and experiments, all the staff forgot that she hadn't drunk any water.

Only they would pay attention to this detail.
