Anhai Mental Sanatorium was currently at its most leisurely time of the day.
Ward rounds, dressing changes, diagnosis and treatment had all been carried out. The patients and elderly who had been recuperating here walked out of their rooms one after another. They took a walk outside and breathed in the fresh air.
It would be even more perfect if the thick clouds in the sky could be wiped away at this time, allowing the occasional sunlight to pass through to be less stingy.
Recently, Luo Yuandao's physical condition had been maintained quite well. As the weather warmed up, he had already resumed outdoor activities under the close care of the special nurse. Moreover, with Xiu Shenyu's company, his smile had become much more cheerful.
Today was no exception.
This kept Doctor Zhang Yuliang, Octopus, in a good mood. He had been paying attention to the situation through the monitor.
He brewed a cup of coffee for himself and offered a toast to the brain cells that had been sacrificed because of last night's all-nighter.
How about I go out for a stroll too?
Just as he was thinking, the HexaEar in his ear vibrated slightly. It projected a message through his retina.
The sender of the message was the Psychic Wave Network maintenance team of the Xia City branch. Ouyang Chen signed and stamped it. It was a warning directed at the core members of the Xia City branch and the elite operations team.
"Currently, the abyssal region of the Psychic Wave Network corresponds to the level of the abyssal region. A continuous and irregular force has appeared. The fluctuating range is between 0.003 DG and 12.5 DG. The source of the force has yet to be discovered."
"To ensure the safety of the branch members and the city's ability users, the interference ports of the Psychic Wave Network will be temporarily shut down. The fortress of the Ring of Blood and Will in the abyssal region... It is recommended that before the alarm is lifted, all activities that may touch upon the abyssal region and even the depths of the spiritual sea are suspended."
"To all personnel who have received this notice, please immediately enter level one standby mode and activate your coordinates. If you feel any physical or mental discomfort, please immediately contact the branch laboratory. "
What did this mean?
Octopus was also psychic, but he was a bit confused when he saw this notice. He didn't understand half of it.
He quickly logged into the main page and forums of the Psychic Wave Network, but he saw that it was still calm and tranquil. There was only a maintenance and temporary shutdown notice that was lightly worded and did not involve the abyssal region's movements.
He rummaged through several work channels and chat groups of the Xia City branch. Probably because the core information was limited, there weren't many people in the know. No effective discussion was formed. Most of the people in the know were as confused as he was.
A call came in while he was confused. It was Bamboo Pole.
When the call connected, the person on the other side asked, "Are you alright?"
Octopus knew that Bamboo Pole wasn't just asking about him, so he wasn't in a hurry to answer. Instead, he carefully observed the surveillance footage before saying,
"Everything is normal … What's going on?"
"I'm not sure yet. I'm at the Shangding Building right now. The president is leading the investigation."
The octopus asked again, "The force exceeded 10 standard units. Is there an Extraordinary attacking us?"
"There's no conclusion at the moment, at least not yet, but we've basically ruled out the malfunction of the sensor equipment. That's because basically, the mental side of [B] class and above will show varying degrees of reaction. "
Bamboo Pole was also a Grade B Psychic, which meant that he had also felt it. "Other than that, Elder You, Mr. Bai, and Gao Tianshi, the three psychics had the strongest reaction. Of course, there's also President Ouyang …"
At this point, Bamboo Pole seemed to be talking to someone. After about half a minute, he spoke again.
"Now, we have a preliminary estimate. It might be an unknown powerhouse, definitely at the Extraordinary level. It might be a famous expert, or it might be a mutant species from the wilderness that is currently extending its consciousness into this place."
The octopus subconsciously responded, "A war?"
"Right now, it's just tossing and turning on the mental plane, but it's always searching for an entry point to the material plane. It's tried many times, but it's not satisfied. It seems to be an obsessive-compulsive disorder … This is what the president said."
The octopus chuckled twice, "I wonder who it is?"
"At the very least, President Ouyang feels that it's unfamiliar. There's no corresponding data in the database. From the looks of it, it's more likely that it's an unknown mutant species. It might even be classified as a Darksider species. "
"Like the Human-Faced Arachnid?"
"Don't jinx it!" Bamboo Pole still had lingering fears from the chaos of Xia City back then, "An Extraordinary level Darksider species …"
"I didn't say it. You said it! “
The two habitually bickered for a bit, but Bamboo Pole quickly returned to the main topic, "In short, be careful in everything. Tonight is extremely sensitive. It wouldn't be strange for anything to happen. I don't need to emphasize this.
"In a moment, Mr. Bai will go over there. If there's anything, you guys can discuss it. Keep in touch and report in time.
"In addition, President Ouyang suggests that no matter who it is, reduce outdoor activities. He feels that the cloud layer above his head is quite awkward. "
"F * ck me?!"
The octopus jumped in fright. He raised his head to look at the monitor screen. Luo Yuandao and Xiu Shenyu were currently slowly moving about on a soft and flat grassland. Luo Yuandao, who was practically a bag of bones, made a rare large movement. He stretched his body …
During this movement, his head, which was tilted upwards, became fixed. He still had his hands on his waist, but he no longer swung his neck. Instead, he stared blankly at the thick layer of clouds in the sky.
It was approximately 10: 30 in the morning right now. Although there were thick clouds in the sky that blocked most of the sun's rays, it was still cloudy and not overcast.
The sun's rays dazzled the edges of the cloud layer with layers of gold. A normal person would not be able to stare directly at the sky for too long before they would tear up from the stimulation of the sunlight. Looking at the sky for too long was definitely not a good thing.
Luo Yuandao was even worse than a normal person.
"There's something going on over at the old man's side. I'll go take a look!"
Octopus didn't have time to say anything more to Bamboo Pole. He rushed out the door in two or three steps and ran towards the grassland.
Fortunately, he had made arrangements beforehand. He had Special Nurse Hong, who took care of Luo Yuandao, come to the area in front of his office whenever he accompanied the old man out for a stroll.
They were so close that if anything happened, she would be there in a matter of minutes.
When Octopus rushed to Luo Yuandao's side, the latter was still maintaining his posture of looking straight at the sky …
Alright, the old man's eyes were closed.
It was probably because of this situation that Xiu Shenyu, who was already by Luo Yuandao's side, frowned but did not try to dissuade him. Or perhaps he did dissuade him, but it had no effect at all.
However, what did that extremely focused and serious look mean?
Unexpectedly, when Octopus jogged over, Luo Yuandao suddenly said, "Zhongheng, you've come at the right time … It's been a long time since I've had such a neat and tidy impression."
"Quack?"
Octopus was stunned. He subconsciously looked at Xiu Shenyu. The latter did not say anything and only shook his head slightly.
On the other side, Luo Yuandao continued, "Qingwen's train of thought is clearer than ours. I've also benefited greatly from her adjustment this time …"
Later on, Luo Yuandao said some unclear words, involving some unfamiliar names, professional terms, and so on. In the end, he said,
"I'll do my best to use Qingwen's method to repeat it once. You remember it too … Let's first study it and see if we can piece together an outline, to piece together the appearance of a 'deity'."
