An email, like a splash of water thrown into a lake, completely shattered the peace of the Earth Federation.
Early in the morning, when Chen Chen was having breakfast with Little X's help, this email was delivered to his table.
"Special task force five annihilated."
The title of the email was a shocking line of blood-red text. When Chen Chen saw this line of text, he could not help raising his eyebrows.
"Suspected to be an Alpha-level psionicist?"
When he saw the content, Chen Chen wore a pensive expression. "A nine-year-old child? George? "
"The other party is suspected to have the ability to transform dreams into reality. This was inferred by a psionicist detective."
Little X said, "At present, he can't control his psionic powers. Every time he falls asleep, he'll have nightmares. When he dreams, a monster similar to an octopus will appear in the dream and devour the internal organs of nearby people."
Chen Chen did not speak but continued to read silently. The email included all the causes and consequences of this case and at the same time, there was also the video information left behind. However, when he saw a paragraph, Chen Chen's expression suddenly became solemn.
"That psionicist detective smelled sulfur twice?"
Chen Chen turned to look at Little X. "Do you know what this aura represents?"
"The subspace?"
Little X said, "You mean, this matter may be related to the subspace?"
"That's possible."
Chen Chen nodded and said solemnly, "I have a guess, perhaps psionic power itself is inextricably linked to the subspace."
Little X was shocked when she heard this. She immediately understood why Chen Chen had such an idea.
Chen Chen had entered the subspace before, but only psionic energy could be used in the subspace. Field energy could not be used at all.
At the same time, only the power of psionic energy could initially pry into the truth of the subspace. To go further, he would need the power of a navigator transformed from psionic energy.
Moreover, after the trajectory of the flesh and blood of the Consciousness Stealer was investigated, it was found that it first appeared in the orbital area near Uranus as if it had appeared out of thin air. That was one of the Mandeville Points, the easiest way to enter and exit the subspace...
If there were only one or two of these clues, it might be considered a coincidence. But now that three clues pointed to the subspace, it was a little intriguing.
In conclusion, the subspace, a mysterious space that humans had never set foot in before, might really be inextricably linked to spiritual energy.
"Of course, all of this is still just my guess."
Chen Chen said in a low voice, "Maybe my guess is wrong, but in any case, bring George here first. I want to see him in person."
"I'm afraid it will be very difficult."
Little X was distressed. "01 has ordered the boy to be detained. After all, the incident happened in his territory and he's the first person to receive the news. In my opinion, it seems that he's ready to develop this boy's power for his own use."
"Oh?"
Chen Chen frowned at this.
"You're not the only one who's been alerted by this matter. The other four have also been alerted. After all, the Blacklight Foundation has been established for so long and has never suffered such a huge loss. Naturally, 01 must take this seriously."
Little X explained.
The total annihilation of an entire task force was comparable to the loss of an army. After all, the task force was carefully selected by the four continents and could be described as the elite of the elite. Each of them was an ultimate all-rounder who could attack head-on, assassinate and invade, investigate and solve cases, proficient in electronic warfare and multiple languages. Coupled with the time and money spent on them, it was indeed comparable to an army.
And it was these thousands of people selected from tens of millions of soldiers around the world, but one-fifth of them were lost overnight. It could not help but be shocking.
Hearing Little X's explanation, Chen Chen stood up without thinking, turned around, and walked toward the conference room. At the same time, he said, "X, connect me directly to 01, I want to talk to him alone."
Soon, Chen Chen came to the holographic conference room where the Lilith Conference was held and waited silently.
In less than ten minutes, the seat opposite Chen Chen in the conference room flashed out of thin air and an indistinct black figure appeared in the seat.
"05, why are you contacting me?"
01 sat calmly in his seat, tapping the table with one hand and asked.
"Give George to me."
Chen Chen did not beat around the bush. He put his hands on the table and went straight to the point. "This boy may be a huge threat. You don't have the experience to deal with him."
"I don't have the experience, but I can accumulate it."
01 chuckled softly, lying back in his seat, and said indifferently, "On the other hand, didn't you say that you wouldn't easily attend the Lilith Conference in the future? Why can't you sit still now when you hear about our Northern American Continent? "
"I don't want George because of his psionic potential."
Chen Chen's frown deepened. "To tell you the truth, this George may have something to do with the subspace. Among our five major forces, only our Blacklight Biotechnology has come into contact with the subspace. It's a different world full of madness and destruction. If you insist on studying George alone, I'm afraid the entire human race will fall into disaster because of you!"
"Oh?"
Hearing Chen Chen's warning, 01 hesitated slightly. "Is the subspace really that terrifying?"
"Terror is only secondary, the key is the continuation of human civilization."
Chen Chen said sternly, "01, you can make a request. If this request isn't too much, I can use it to exchange for this boy with you."
Hearing the determination in Chen Chen's words, 01 could not help falling silent.
Chen Chen did not urge him but waited in place, staring at the other party. He knew that 01 was discussing with his think tank at this time.
After about ten minutes, 01 spoke again, but this sentence made Chen Chen's expression completely gloomy. "05, although your conditions are somewhat attractive, they're far inferior to George, a natural Alpha-level psionicist."
01 continued. "So, I can only refuse your request. We won't exchange with you, give up."
Hearing the other party's answer, Chen Chen suddenly took a deep breath. He silently glanced at the shadow in front of him and just said lightly, "You'll regret this." With that, he directly turned off the communication.
The ignorant are fearless!
Chen Chen snorted coldly. He understood that the other party's choice was not wrong because there were ten task forces in the Blacklight Foundation, three of which obeyed the orders of Northern America and four of which obeyed Chen Chen's orders. Among these four teams, two were psionicist task forces.
In addition, the only three Alpha-level psionicists in the world also obeyed Chen Chen's orders. Whether it was the strength of the foundation or its internal influence, Chen Chen would crush the other four continents.
The four continents were naturally unwilling. Now that a nature-defying psionicist like George had appeared, this was a good opportunity to enhance their influence and occupy the right to speak. Of course, Northern America was unwilling to give up.
"So what should we do now?"
Little X could not help asking, "In fact, if we use the black slate, we can easily get that boy."
"There's no need for that for the time being."
Chen Chen shook his head and thought. "The black slate has the ability to temporarily control human behavior, but once it's used and I cancel the control, the other party will wake up and it'll be more difficult to explain at that time... What's more, all this is still speculation after all. Since the other party is unwilling to hand over the person, then let's wait and see."
As he said this, Chen Chen added again, "If there's an uncontrollable situation, I'll take action myself."
Little X agreed and silently savored Chen Chen's decision, but did not persuade him otherwise.
Because in her opinion, no matter how dangerous the child named George was, he was just a psionicist. For Chen Chen, psionicists were the same as ordinary people and they were all existences that did not pose any threat.
...
Police Detective Sean was seconded by the Blacklight Foundation.
Before he could say anything, he was taken to the airport by several people, and then he took a private plane that had been prepared and flew to the location of the Blacklight Foundation's Northern American headquarters.
This was a little-known small town under the jurisdiction of Washington. It seemed to be a poor and remote place, but no one knew that this was the Northern American headquarters of the Blacklight Foundation, the most mysterious organization in the Earth Federation.
From the outside, this headquarters was just an ordinary large farm. When Sean came to the only house in the farm, he looked around and saw that the room was extremely simple and the most eye-catching thing was the dining table placed in the center of the room.
"Are we going to have a farmhouse here first?"
Sean whistled and then sat down at the table naturally.
But in the next second, Sean suddenly felt a faint vibration coming from the ground. He looked at the expressionless task force members on the side and quickly stood up. Then he only saw the table in front of him suddenly split in the middle, revealing a deep gap below. Then, the gap continued to open and a platform rose from it, revealing itself in front of Sean.
The task force captain on the side made an inviting gesture and took the lead to lead everyone to stand on the platform. Seeing this, Sean followed up.
When he stood firmly on the platform, the platform began to descend slowly.
After descending about forty or fifty meters, the original sunlight was completely replaced by incandescent lights. Then an alloy door slowly opened, revealing a vast hall inside.
"This is the headquarters of the Blacklight Foundation in Northern America."
The task force captain took the lead to walk out of the door and began to lead Sean toward the depths of the headquarters. Along the way, the people here were in a hurry, with faint uneasiness on their faces.
After walking for about twenty minutes, Sean arrived at his current destination. This was a dormitory similar to a military camp, but at this time, several nearby dormitories were on guard and surrounded by armed personnel dressed as task forces.
"Mr. Sean."
At this moment, several researchers came up. They first greeted the task force captain in front of them, then looked at Sean. "I heard that you have the ability to turn back time. This is a power we need very much now. I believe you have received the loan letter and understand the situation here, so I won't say anything unnecessary."
With that said, the researcher took the lead and walked in. When Sean followed, he found that the barracks dormitory was in a mess. At the same time, there were human outlines drawn with white and red brushes on the ground and on the bed.
Sean was no stranger to this kind of human outline. This was a scene that would only appear after a death case had occurred.
"This is Barrack 1, where task force five lives."
The researcher explained, "Just last night, task force five died collectively, including the captain and two deputy captains. At the same time, some of the researchers at the headquarters also died. The total number of casualties is as high as one hundred and fifty-three people."
"Did you find anything?"
Sean looked around and asked at the same time, "Besides the clues of internal organs and blood being emptied, what other clues are there?"
"Hibernation and range."
Before the researcher had time to speak, the captain of task force three interjected. "We found that the deceased were all people who had entered a state of hibernation. Not only that, but the location where the deceased slept was less than a hundred meters away from the imprisoned George, only a few rooms away."
"What about the surveillance?"
Sean turned his head to look at the monitor above his head. "Did this thing capture anything? For example, something like an octopus monster. "
"No, it didn't," the researcher replied.
"The surveillance didn't capture anything, but we found a sign that the deceased didn't seem to die at the same time. Instead, they died one after another in their sleep. The order was from near to far. The closer they were to where George was imprisoned, the earlier they died, and vice versa."
"Sure enough..."
Sean's heart sank and he stated again, "I can be sure that this phenomenon is caused by nothing else but the monster in his dream running out after the boy entered a state of hibernation. It is now known that this kind of monster cannot be captured by surveillance, but this is normal. After all, those monsters are not real. They are just the manifestation of the boy's psionic powers."
"We have some guesses about what you said, but the problem now is not that."
The researcher shook his head. "The problem now is that the surveillance in the room where Psionicist George is imprisoned suddenly failed after four o 'clock in the morning. At the same time, the lights in his room also failed."
"This is also a normal phenomenon. The power of some psionicists can indeed interfere with electrical equipment."
Xiao En replied.
"So we hope that you can enter the room where George is and retrace what happened at that time."
The researcher continued, "We have read your statement. You have investigated the situation at that time twice before. The first time, you were unconscious. The second time, you were successful and you saw an octopus-like monster. So we hope that you can continue to perfect the information this time."
"Yes, I can try."
Sean nodded. He knew that he was not in a position to refuse.
So, Sean was taken to the room where George was imprisoned yesterday. At this time, George had been moved elsewhere, and Sean did not see George's figure.
With the activation of the psionic power, Sean suddenly saw the scene that happened yesterday again. At about four o 'clock in the morning, George, who was originally in a state of deep sleep, was once again filled with a trace of yellow mist. At the same time, in the mist, there were four octopus-like monsters wandering out...
"Four?"
Sean's pupils shrank. He even discovered that these four octopus monsters looked different from the ones he saw yesterday.
"Could it be... The monsters in this child's dream can exist in reality for a long time, and every time he dreams, new monsters are constantly being produced?"
Suddenly, a frightening guess emerged in Sean's heart.
