Back in the mansion, Melissa was still on the first floor looking at her phone, and there were only two or three team members left. The rest had gone outside to watch the show.
"There are two groups of Darksiders fighting outside, and the teaching assistants have taken over to mediate. The rest of the team liked to watch the show, so they went out. "Melissa stood up and explained as she saw Lin Sheng return.
"It's okay. From now on, the team can be dismissed, and everyone can return to school to claim the reward for completing the mission. "Lin Sheng nodded.
"So fast?" Melissa was surprised.
"We should have done the handover earlier, but the teaching assistants and their team were a little late, or else we would have arrived at school by now." Lin Sheng said casually as he went up the stairs. "Let's go pack up, see you later."
"Okay, see you later." Melissa nodded. There were not many cars in town anyway, and it was more likely that they would go back in one car.
She did not waste any more time, and quickly sent a group message to everyone on her phone before getting up to pack up.
The rest of the team members looked at each other before they got up and went back to their rooms.
Lin Sheng went back to his room, and stuffed everything that needed to be packed into his suitcase before he took off his clothes and went for a hot shower.
Just as he put on his clean clothes, there was a soft knock on the door.
"Come in." Lin Sheng said calmly. His five senses were extremely sharp. Naturally, he had already recognized who the person was before the person knocked on the door.
* Click. *
The door slowly opened. Melissa bit her lips, her gaze fluctuating as she walked in slowly.
"Captain …"
"What's up? Are you done packing? "Lin Sheng asked with a smile.
"Yup … I'm done, and there's nothing to take." Melissa nodded.
"Did you buy any souvenirs for your family?" Lin Sheng asked casually.
Melissa shook her head. "There's nothing we need at home, and we've bought everything we need."
"Then let's go. The bus can go anytime, it's just that it's been waiting for us. If we leave now, we can still make it for dinner in the afternoon. I can't wait to eat the school cafeteria's chicken mushroom stew. "
"That's a simple wish." Melissa could not help but smile. "Captain, with your current status and income, do you still like to eat in the school cafeteria?"
"What kind of status? All of that was meaningless. Humans were born to live happily. It doesn't matter if it's food from the cafeteria or not. As long as I like it, I don't need to care about anything else, "Lin Sheng said casually.
After Melissa laughed, she wanted to say something but stopped. But she was interrupted by Lin Sheng lifting his suitcase.
"Let's go out together."
She had no choice but to drag her suitcase along. The two of them went downstairs. There were already a few team members who had finished packing up.
Lin Sheng called them out together. The bus that they had contacted over the phone had already been driven over by the driver.
The group got back into the car. One by one, they threw their luggage onto the rack.
Lin Sheng sat in the last seat, exhaled softly, and leaned back in his chair to rest.
Melissa sat on the other empty seat to his left. There was a walkway between them.
Lin Sheng did not mind Melissa's strange look, and just started trying to fuse Saint Power and Crag Dragon blood in his body.
The theory of Energy Fusion Point was a strange theory that was upheld by the destroyed research institute.
This theory meant that not all energy could find a fusion point.
In theory, it was true that all energy could fuse with other energy, but the problem was what kind of conditions needed to be met, and that was unknown.
Most energy required extremely harsh fusion conditions.
And the amazing thing about this research institute was that they had researched a type of energy fusion point, and it could be successfully executed.
That was Shadow Energy.
The person in charge of the research institute personally presided over the fusion of Shadow Energy with dark energy, and they successfully created the Shade, a monster that most Darksiders could not detect.
This had also violated the taboo of the major cults.
And so, they were destroyed.
Lin Sheng did not follow the fusion method of the Shade, but found another way himself, and tried to fuse Saint Power and Crag Dragon blood. The possibility was still very high. Just that some advanced equipment was needed.
The bus swayed as it traveled quickly on the steep and winding mountain road.
There were not even ten people in the bus.
Melissa sat by Lin Sheng's side, looking up and then down.
She had been struggling for a long time, and the words that she wanted to say were stuck because of her personality.
* Bam! *
Suddenly, the entire bus shook, and everything shook violently as the bus drove into a shallow pit.
"Ouch!" A student who was a little closer screamed as he held the back of his head.
Clearly, he had been hit on the head by the shaking just now.
This was the consequence of not training his dark energy into an instinct. Once they were ambushed, these newbies were not much stronger than the average person.
Before the student could figure out what had just happened, and why he was hit in the head, the bus continued to move forward.
Melissa looked at the time.
They were about to reach the city, and if they could not confirm anything after this trip, then there would not be many chances to get close to Lin Sheng in the future. After all, no matter what, Lin Sheng was the strongest genius of the best workshop.
She did not know what Lin Sheng meant when he said that he had given her a new path.
But since he was a genius disciple of the Soul Fortress workshop, and also the main person in charge of this mission.
Then Lin Sheng's words were definitely more credible than those of ordinary students.
Melissa looked at Lin Sheng, who had his eyes closed and his head lowered, and finally made up her mind.
Instead of living a mediocre life, it was better to take a gamble and see what better choice Captain Lin Sheng could give her.
Choice was always a two-way street.
If she did not like the direction Captain Lin Sheng gave her, she could ignore it and continue on the old path.
That's what Melissa thought, and that's what she did.
The bus was stuck again, and many things in the bus flew into the air and scattered on the ground.
Melissa took the opportunity to reach out, and gently approached Lin Sheng, and was about to wake him up.
But before she could do anything, she saw Lin Sheng's eyes, which had been closed all this while, suddenly opened. In those pale golden eyes, there was a calm and gentle look.
"Have you decided?" His gaze fell on Melissa. "Once it starts, there is no turning back."
Melissa took a deep breath and nodded.
"I have decided!" She whispered.
Lin Sheng smiled.
What he had left for Melissa was not a simple test of the heart.
Melissa had the rare potential of an evil soul, and her strength was not in cultivating dark powers, nor in training her body.
But when she was in a state of tension, danger, excitement, and guilt, the more guilt she felt, the more powerful her potential would be.
This was the evil soul, and this was what made Melissa a real psychopath. In theory, the stronger her guilt, the stronger her potential.
But Lin Sheng had never seen such a scene before.
As for the so-called sense of guilt, in today's words, it was described as a sense of guilt. And in ancient times, this behavior was called repentance.
A day of repentance, enlightenment, and enlightenment.
It was probably referring to people with potential like Melissa.
