"We need to clear out the supernatural powers that have appeared in history from the ancient books and turn them into an ancient experimental research project."
— — A scientist wrote in "Conducting Basic Research on the Human Body".
In the 1980s, there was a craze for psychic power research across the world.
This was not a coincidence; something had happened at the time. However, by the time of Tong Ye, the craze had not only subsided, but the field had also become a taboo, a cancer that needed to be cleaned up. Therefore, when Elder Tong mentioned those 'random thoughts', it only served to further accentuate his madness and insanity.
"Are there curses in this world?" Tong Ye looked at the three silent team members with a smile. "I know there are, and so do you. We've all been through it."
Indeed, Gu Jun knew there were. He had seen curses before, and he had even touched the edge of casting one …
He had even blown up a piece of parchment with a curse on it.
But what had Tong Ye experienced? What about Wu Shiyu? What about Xiao Xu, a 10-year-old who was good at math?
"Let me first talk about the theory of psychic powers that was popular when I was young," Tong Ye said as he wrote five rows of English and Chinese words on the whiteboard.
"Extrasensory Perception (ESP)
"Psychokinesis (PK)
"Brain Remote Sensing (Telepathy)
"Precognition (Precognition)
"Superhuman Intelligence (Talent)
"At the time, the trend was very exaggerated, and it messed up the people. In the end, most of the experiments were stopped, and only the scientific research department continued with a few experiments. But it was useless. They had the wrong direction from the beginning. Regardless of whether these things existed or not, you had to find suitable people to conduct the experiments on. Normal people, Qigong masters, and the like were useless. Only people like you would be able to do it. "
Tong Ye turned to look at the three, and the greed in his eyes returned. "Wu Shiyu, your talent is ESP; Xiao Xu, your talent is superhuman intelligence; Gu Jun, you might have a little of everything.
"If you want to learn spells, you can't do without your talents. My mission, Old Tong, is to find a way for you to learn how to stimulate, control, and use your innate talents! "
With a few clicks, Elder Tong scribbled a few more words on the whiteboard. 'Activate, control, use.'
Of course, Gu Jun was moved. Tong Ye's words gave him exactly what he wanted …
He blew up the spell paper to destroy the channel and the Malformed Banyan Disease. It was not that he did not want to study spells. Foreign spells and other spells were fine, but if only the enemy had this kind of power, then it would be too scary.
Furthermore, he had other needs. Aside from the mysterious system, he lacked control over the ability to trigger illusions — this could also be considered a form of ESP.
He did not know how to control and use the will and power of the Son of Steel and the Son of Misfortune in his body. Last time, he had almost suffered a cardiac arrest …
"Tong Ye, what's the training method?" Gu Jun asked.
"The training method is inseparable from all kinds of challenges and breakthroughs." Tong Ye appeared to be sincere and reliable. "I need you to be as honest with me as possible so that I can come up with a better plan."
"Tong Ye, I have a question." Wu Shiyu raised his hand carelessly. "Will you confess all your secrets to us?"
"Hmm." Even for someone as knowledgeable as Tong Ye, he was startled by the question. "Not for now, but I can tell you my favorite number for the next round of the lottery."
"Then it will be hard for me to confess …" Wu Shiyu grumbled. His listless face seemed to be saying, 'Like hell I'll believe you. You old man, you are so evil.'
Gu Jun shrugged silently. He did not say anything, but it was clear that he would not tell the truth either.
If this was a big show, then it would be too simple to reveal the dagger at the end of the map.
But if not, then … what kind of strange team was this? The leader had his secrets, and so did every member.
"Fine, in any case, I'll give you something. Let me know if there's anything you think is effective." Tong Ye shook his head and sighed. "How ungrateful of you. I was the one who rescued you from the Correctional Department. But you're a bunch of tough bones, I know that already. "
Tong Ye smiled and looked at the three of them. "That is why our team's registered name is — The Problematic Team!"
"This team name … is hard to describe." Wu Shiyu grumbled softly.
The Problematic Team? If anything, Gu Jun thought it suited this team very well …
"Gu Jun, you'll be the leader. Wu Shiyu, Xiao Xu, the two of you will be the vice leaders." Tong Ye announced the appointment, and his expression turned serious. "I'm not joking. During this special training, all of you will learn how to be a leader. Currently, there are only three of you in this team, but there will be more in the future. You might even be transferred to other teams to provide support, so study hard and have confidence in yourself."
Gu Jun was not a person without confidence, but he was indeed surprised that he had been assigned the role of leader so quickly.
"The official training starts tomorrow." Tong Ye, however, was very serious and full of confidence. "In the coming month, you will have a very difficult time. Now, make the best use of your time. I promise you that it will be as difficult as having nightmares at night. "
"Alright, that's enough. Since you refuse to tell me your secrets, I'll go do something else."
After saying that, Tong Ye grabbed the bottle and walked out. His steps seemed to be wobbly. He walked out of the activity room and left the door open.
"Oh, then, leader?" Wu Shiyu called after Gu Jun.
The term of address was so unfamiliar that Gu Jun took a while to process it. "What is it?"
"Dismissed?"
"… Yes."
Immediately, the three of them left the activity room, and a staff led them to the dormitory.
However, Gu Jun was still in quarantine, so he went to a remote building far away from the main body of the base and stayed in another isolation room.
Thankfully, the isolation room was spacious and bright enough. It had a living room, a bedroom, and a separate bathroom. Most importantly, it had Wi-Fi.
After almost half a month, he finally reconnected to the network.
Gu Jun took off the protective suit and paced in the living room. He first opened WeChat and Phecda's private messaging apps. There were a lot of unread messages: Lee Yuerui's unchanging image, Cai Zixuan and Wang Ruoxiang's greetings … Almost every day or every two days, they would ask him if he was there, how he was doing, and if he could talk.
His heart warmed. He had been briefed on the level of confidentiality.
He clicked on his phone to reply to them one by one. "I'm still alive, I'm fine, I'm currently participating in a special training."
It was dinner time, so many exclamation marks popped up. They were not on duty, right? This was a good sign. It meant that there were not that many patients in the Medical Department, so they were not that busy. After chatting with the group, Gu Jun laughed many times, and his mood improved.
Now that the Afterlife Cult had been defeated, perhaps there would be a period of peace and quiet for him.
During this one month of special training, he would set a goal for himself. No matter what Tong Ye was up to, he would make use of the opportunity to improve himself!
Since he was already the leader of the Problematic Team, he would do his best to be the leader.
