As someone in sequence 001, I also want to give up today.

He took a deep breath and asked in standard Mandarin, "You can speak Chinese?"

Aynur was also stunned.

"You can speak Chinese?"

"Nonsense, I am Chinese."

Aynur fell silent.

Looking at Li Xian's face, she suddenly realized something.

Why did this person speak English just now?

She asked, "Then why were you speaking English just now?"

Li Xian coughed lightly.

"I thought you were a foreigner because you look like one."

Aynur: "..."

She looked down at herself.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, high nose bridge, and fair skin.

Okay, it does look like it.

She glanced at Li Xian again.

Average looks, average height, average clothes, average posture.

A typical face on Huaxia Road.

She sighed.

"My name is Ayinur, and I'm from northern Xinjiang," she formally introduced herself. "I came to Jiangcheng a few days ago to investigate the spatial chaos."

Li Xian nodded.

"My name is Li Xian," he introduced himself, "from Jiangcheng."

Aynur looked him up and down.

"Are you from the Supernatural Abilities Bureau?"

"Hmm," Li Xian said, "Quickly respond to the situation."

Aynur's expression changed.

Quick-response team?

What are you doing here?

"A raging giant bear just escaped from the Misty Forest," Li Xian replied. "I'll investigate."

She paused for a few seconds, then said, "That bear... I let it out."

Li Xian raised an eyebrow.

"Did you put it there?"

"I didn't mean to," Aynur explained.

"I found it when I came in, and I wanted to tame it as a mount. But it was too alert and got scared, running away right through the crack I came from."

Li Xian looked at her without saying a word.

Aynur continued, "I tried to chase it, but it was too fast, I couldn't catch it. And that crack..."

She paused.

"The crack was unstable, and I was afraid that if I chased after it, I wouldn't be able to come back, so I didn't go out."

Li Xian nodded.

"So you let it out and then left it alone."

Ayinur's face looked rather grim.

"I told you, it wasn't intentional."

Li Xian didn't reply.

He just looked at her, his expression indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Aynur felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

She bit her lip and then said, "I apologize. It was my mistake. Luckily you stopped it from entering the city."

Li Xian nodded.

"Um."

Aynur waited for a while, but received no further news.

She was a little surprised.

This person... just accepted it like that?

Not pursuing the matter? Not getting angry? Not demanding compensation?

Looking at Li Xian's calm face, she suddenly felt that she couldn't see through him.

"Aren't you angry?" she asked.

Li Xian thought for a moment.

"Of course I'm angry, but what can I do to you now? Arrest you?"

Aynur was stunned for a moment.

Li Xian continued, "However, once you get out, they will definitely hold you accountable; you'll inevitably face a military court."

Ayinur remained silent for a few seconds.

Then she nodded.

"you're right."

She paused, then said, "No matter what, it was my mistake first. Thank you for stopping the bear."

Li Xian waved his hand.

"Alright, enough with the formalities." He glanced into the depths of the forest. "You said you were investigating spatial chaos?"

Aynur nodded.

"Yes. I was sent by General Administration."

Li Xian raised an eyebrow.

"The General Administration?"

"I'm from the General Administration's Field Operations Section," Aynur said, "specifically responsible for investigating anomalous energy events."

Li Xian looked at her.

This identity sounds quite legitimate.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

Something's not right.

I can't explain it.

"So how's your investigation going?" he asked.

Ayinur shook her head.

"We haven't found the exact source yet," she said. "The energy field here in Linhai is too chaotic, making it difficult to pinpoint the source."

Li Xian nodded.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need my help?"

Aynur was stunned for a moment.

"you?"

"Yes," Li Xian said, "I happen to be free."

Aynur looked at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

It happened so fast that it was almost imperceptible.

But Li Xian saw it.

He remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he became more wary.

"Okay," Aynur said. "You can come along if you want to help."

She turned around and continued walking deeper into the forest.

Li Xian followed behind.

After walking for a while, Ayinur suddenly asked, "What is your special ability?"

Li Xian thought for a moment.

"Psychic power."

"Telekinesis?" Aynur glanced back at him. "Just telekinesis?"

"Hmm," Li Xian said, "A fairly strong psychic ability."

Aynur didn't ask any more questions.

She knew the other person was definitely not telling the truth.

The invisibility he achieved at the beginning couldn't have been done with ordinary telekinesis.

However, the fact that the opponent could easily subdue the raging giant bear suggests that their strength is probably no less than hers.

She must ensure the mission goes perfectly, so she can't afford to break off relations now.

The two continued walking forward.

Deep in the forest, the fog grew thicker and thicker.

Occasionally, the roars of beasts could be heard from afar.

But those sounds were all very far away.

Ayinur walked very slowly, taking each step carefully.

She held the palm-sized instrument in her hand, glancing down at the screen every now and then.

Li Xian followed behind her, appearing relaxed, but in reality, he was secretly observing her.

This person...

What exactly are they looking for?

As he was thinking, he suddenly sensed something.

Something is approaching from the bushes on the left.

He glanced at it but didn't move.

The next second, a dark figure darted out of the bushes and pounced straight at Ayinur!

Ayinur reacted quickly, instantly dodging to the side.

The dark figure missed its target, landed, turned around, and revealed its true form.

It is a wolf.

It was a size larger than an ordinary wolf, with gray fur all over its body and eyes that gleamed with a ghostly green light.

Class C alien beast, Gray Shadow Wolf.

Ayinur gripped the knife at her waist, stared at the wolf, and moved slowly.

The wolf stared at her, letting out a low growl, and scratching at the ground with its front paws.

Suddenly, it pounced again!

Aynur did not dodge this time.

She rushed forward, and just as the wolf pounced, she ducked to avoid its claws, while her knife flashed coldly.

"laugh--"

He slashed the wolf in the side.

The wolf let out a miserable howl, staggered a couple of steps after landing, and then turned and ran.

Aynur did not pursue.

She sheathed her knife and turned to look at Li Xian.

"Why aren't you making a move?"

Li Xian leaned against a tree and said lazily, "You can handle this by yourself."

Ayinur stared at him for three seconds.

She took a deep breath, trying to keep her expression calm.

"Let's go," she said. "Let's keep going."

Li Xian nodded and followed.

The two continued their journey through the forest.

We walked for another hour or so.

The sky grew darker and darker.

Ayinur suddenly stopped and pointed to a mountain wall in front of her.

There's a cave over there.

Li Xian looked in the direction she was pointing.

There is indeed a cave entrance on the mountainside.

It's not big; just big enough for one person to bend down and go in.

"Shall we go take a look?" he asked.

Aynur nodded.

"Hmm. I can sense energy fluctuations inside."

Li Xian looked at her and remained silent for a second.

Then he nodded.

"OK."

The two walked to the entrance of the cave.

Ayinur went in first.

Li Xian followed behind.

The cave is very deep.

After walking several dozen meters further in, the passageway began to slope downwards.

It got darker and darker until it was completely dark.

Ayinur took a glow stick out of her pocket and lit it.

The faint green light barely illuminated an area of ​​a few meters around it.

The cave walls were covered with moss, damp and emitting a faint musty smell.

After walking for a few more minutes, the passage suddenly opened up.

They arrived at a naturally formed stone chamber.

The stone chamber is about the size of a room, with a pool of water in the center.

The water in the pool was pitch black, and its depth was impossible to discern.

Ayinur held up a glow stick and looked around the stone chamber.

Li Xian stood at the entrance, without moving.

He watched Ayinur's retreating figure and suddenly said something.

"Who exactly are you?"

Aynur paused for a moment.

She turned around and looked at Li Xian, a hint of confusion on her face.

"What do you mean?"

Li Xian looked at her, his expression remaining calm.

"You said you were sent by the General Administration."

"Um."

"But the people at headquarters won't let a Class B alien beast go out and leave it alone."

Ayinur's expression changed for a moment.

But she quickly recovered and said, "I told you, I didn't mean to—"

"And another thing," Li Xian interrupted her, "you said you were investigating spatial chaos."

Ayinur looked at him without saying a word.

Li Xian continued, "But the space here in Lin Hai is very stable. You're not investigating spatial chaos at all."

Ayinur remained silent for three seconds.

Then she laughed.

That smile was completely different from before.

The smiles I gave earlier, though perfunctory, were at least normal.

The laughter now...

It was cold and damp.

Surprising.

It sends chills down your spine.

"You're smarter than I thought," she said.

Li Xian didn't speak.

Aynur took a step back.

Her hand rested on the stone wall beside her.

Then--

"boom!"

The entire stone chamber shook.

Suddenly, the ground beneath Li Xian's feet cracked open, and a blinding light shot out from the crack, enveloping him entirely.

The light seemed to have a tangible quality, instantly solidifying into a pillar of light that trapped him inside.

Li Xian looked down.

The inner wall of the pillar of light was covered with densely packed runes.

The runes were spinning rapidly, releasing a powerful suppressive force.

It seems they are trying to suppress his mental power?

Li Xian found it amusing and suppressed his mental energy.

He wanted to see what this person was up to.
