Chapter 227 - Battle Royale: Survival of the Jedi (XVII)

There was silence in the Emergency Response Department.

They had expected the team to fail, but they didn’t expect an unexpected upset.

It was not Chi Jiangyu, but a group of 20 or so psychics who had long been crouching around the B3 area.

Most of them had arrived last night, and because they had the same goal in mind, they had formed a small, impromptu alliance to try to join Chi Jiangyu at first light, and if they didn’t, they would join forces and kill the whole group to try to survive.

As a result, they collided with an official combat team while they were on the outer perimeter.

The Provisional Alliance of Exalts had been following the public opinion in the pop-up section, and was discussing whether the officials were really trying to kill Chi Jiangyu and whether Chi Jiangyu really had a way to get out of this mess.

…… takes the squad, and with Chi Jiangyu, isn’t that the best pitch?

The fighting squad had come here with the intention of losing the war, and had no intention of killing the Alliance when they met.

Only when it became clear that they were actually planning to kill themselves did the team realise that something was wrong and retreat in a panic.

The Alliance had the advantage of numbers, but most of them had not been in combat and had no idea how to use their powers.

However, a flurry of skills had the effect of killing the teacher.

In the melee, three squad aliens were seriously injured, one was captured and one died.

The Emergency Response Department watched the entire battle from the sidelines.

One more thing to worry them.

A member of the ministry said carefully, “Look, Minister, Chi Jiangyu, this kind of call is too dangerous …… for the alienists just to show him good faith ……”

”What’s the point of a rallying cry? He’ll be in the lab when he comes out of this game, who else can he call on?”

That said, the Minister still felt a chill run down his back.

He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his bare forehead, “Be glad. This polymath was discovered in our game. If he had appeared in society …… think of the consequences.”

I don’t know which one of them squeaked out, “Can our collars …… trap him.”

The minister raised his voice, “Don’t be alarmist, where is the alien that the collar can’t trap?!”

Everyone was silent.

However, no one can give a clear explanation for the unknown term “multi-powered”.

Who can know his limits?

Who can tell what level of psychic ability he will reach after killing all the other psychics?

He was aware of Battle Royale before he entered the game.

So, he entered for the sole purpose of improving his abilities?

Would such a shifter, when he comes out, really serve the government willingly?

As soon as everyone woke up from the frenzy of discovering the new species of “polymorph”, questions arose.

Now that Chi Jiangyu’s identity as a multi-powered person was clear, it seemed the safest way to kill the others immediately and stop the match to save both Chi Jiangyu and Bai Anyi.

But is there any guarantee that what they receive in their hands will be a treasure.

I’m afraid it’s a hot potato, or even a bomb that will explode at some point.

Is the supposed research value of the “multi-powered” really worth the risk they are taking?

Now, the minister wouldn’t dare to trespass.

Even if he wanted to make a big profit, he would not dare to take on the series of problems that might follow.

The approval from above on this matter has not yet come, but hopefully they will give a more appropriate way of handling it.

……

In-game, area B3.

Chi Xiaochi took a brief inventory of the 20-odd extra people and said, “Well, this is really a company reunion.”

The new shifters all wanted to talk to Chi Jiangyu, so a representative was elected to ask him what his escape plan was.

Unfortunately, before he could say a word, Chi Jiangyu, who was chopping vegetables on a chopping board, disliked him.

”The people are not all here yet.” Chi Jiangyu said, “I don’t want to repeat my plan over and over again, and I don’t think you want it to be known to those outside who shouldn’t know. Sit down and wait for the meal to be cooked.”

Chi Jiangyu’s words were both hard and soft, so the psychics could not say anything, but retreated unhappily and looked for other ways to inquire.

Dan Shuang was the last to join the team, so naturally he couldn’t ask anything.

Zhao Rou’s perceived real leader was Bai Anyi, who remained silent and silent in the face of some sideways questioning, just to be discreet.

As for Wei Shiliu, there is no such concept as ‘quiet’.

He leaned over the stove and tossed the dice with his hand, which dripped and flew for a while before landing back in his palm.

According to Wei Shiliu, as long as he does not concentrate on trying to spin the dice, the dice are just ordinary dice and do not waste the daily ability quota.

He asked blearily, “Chi, what are you going to use to get us out of here?”

Lou Ying added a handful of firewood and said, “I’ll tell you when it’s time.”

”Don’t come to that.” Wei Shiliu was really curious, “I’d really like to know.”

Lou Ying looked at him and repeated, “In time.”

Wei Shiliu rubbed his nose, feeling bored, so he tossed the dice again and turned to chat with the new shifters.

Lou Ying shrugs helplessly.

Given his character, if he really knew anything that worked, he would have spread the word, at least so that everyone could have peace of mind.

But until now, he wasn’t quite sure what Chi Xiaochi had to offer to get everyone out.

Could there really be such an ideal solution?

At that thought, he couldn’t help but look over at Chi Xiaochi, only to meet his gaze as it swept towards him.

Lou Ying looked at him, the corners of her mouth lifting slightly as she lifted her hand and tapped her brow, reminding him of the kiss last night.

To his surprise, Chi Xiaochi did not duck this time.

He blushed slightly, raised his chin, lifted the tip of his index finger and touched his lips lightly and provocatively.

By the time Lou Ying understood what he was saying, the data was in disarray for a moment.

With a smile in his eyes, he held one hand to his chest and gave a slight bow in his direction.

…… is willing to serve and will try next time.

After a long-distance exchange with Chi Xiaochi, Lou Ying returned her attention to the newcomers, counting them off one by one, trying to work out how much rice she should put down.

Maybe someone will come later, should have cooked more rice ……

As she thought about it, Lou Ying’s eyes fell on a certain point in the crowd and her mind wandered.

He had discovered something not so strange.

But it only happened for a split second, and Lou Ying even wondered if he was mistaken and wanted to confirm it, but the man never did the same thing again.

Lou Ying touched her temple with one hand and tried to get through to Chi Xiaochi, but in her glance, she saw Chi Xiaochi mumbling something, probably talking to “Bai Anyi”, and gave up.

…… Let’s observe a bit more and tell Xiaochi when we have conclusive evidence.

Now, no one pays any attention to Bai Anyi anymore.

Outside of the game, Bai Anyi, like Dan Shuang, is judged to be a C-ranked telekinetic, which is neither high nor low, stuck right in the middle, not even as high as Wei Shiliu’s B-rank.

Only Zhao Rou knows that Bai Anyi is Chi Jiangyu’s cousin, and if she doesn’t tell him, no one else will know, let alone bother him.

So he had a good deal of time to spare, reclining comfortably in the Xiaochi pond, peeling lozenges and eating them.

Lou Ying had guessed correctly that he was indeed talking to ” Bai Anyi” at this time.

When ” Bai Anyi” saw that he had not spoken for a long time, he initiated a conversation with him, “What are you thinking about now?”

Chi Xiaochi replied, “‘Catfish’ why there are four.”

” Bai Anyi”: “They all died according to your plan, why are you still thinking about such a boring question.”

Chi Xiaochi’s thoughts jumped around, “How did you die?”

” Bai Anyi”: “Hmm?”

Chi Xiaochi is looking through Bai Anyi’s memories, pausing at the scene where he finds ” Bai Anyi’s” corpse.

He looked at the image of “Bai Anyi’s” death and perfected his question, “Under what circumstances would a shifter be able to kill you?”

The ” Bai Anyi ” was also really a strong man, and not only did he not change his face at the words, but also thought seriously about this question, which was closely related to his own life and death: “Maybe one, the other party is Bai Anyi.”

”You mean the other side has ‘mimicry’ or something like that?”

”It means no.”” Bai Anyi” said, “I am a part of him, I know all about him. You think someone could impersonate him and fool me?”

Chi Xiaochi : “So, maybe two?”

”Maybe two, the other guy has overwhelming psychic powers that can inflict irreversible injuries on me in an instant.”

Chi Xiaochi quickly dismissed this possibility: “Your corpse is intact, with few wounds other than the fatal wound through the heart from the back. If he possessed the ability to kill you in one hit ……”

”Wait. …… mortal wound in my back?”

Chi Xiaochi affirmed, “The back.”

” Bai Anyi”: “That would be very strange indeed. I’m usually very careful behind me and don’t put my back out easily. Besides, there are little white boys in the woods, so I’d definitely be extra careful.”

Chi Xiaochi stopped talking and looked away from Lou Ying’s back, wondering what he was thinking.

” Bai Anyi” follows Chi Xiaochi’s every move, curious to the core.

This was the first human being he had ever met who could be described as “complex”.

” Bai Anyi” admits to having developed an interest in him as a researcher.

At present, he intends to study the question of why Chi Xiaochi lies.

Chi Xiaochi claims that his plan is absolutely fine, that it will get everyone out, that it will keep Bai Anyi safe, and that it will get Chi Jiangyu the attention of the research institute as a “multi-powered person”.

This well-spoken attitude was indeed so infectious that even “Bai Anyi” was convinced by him for a while.

But when you think about it, the plan is clearly flawed.

What happens to Chi Xiaochi if the agency decides that Chi Jiangyu, a “polymath” who knows too many secrets, is a threat and just gets rid of him?

People generally have only two options for the overly powerful, either to draw close to them or to destroy them completely.

Would Chi Xiaochi be the one who couldn’t think of that?

But “Bai Anyi” did not ask any more questions.

As a researcher, he wanted to try and reach a conclusion on his own.

So, having pooled all kinds of information, ” Bai Anyi ” began to silently deduce a possibility in his head.

However, as he pushed through each possibility on paper, ” Bai Anyi ” actually had the first illusion of a chill running down his spine.

I don’t think …… does?

If, indeed, all this is the result of his planning, then he may have really been wrong about Chi Xiaochi.

– he was not at all a smarty-pants, nor was he blindly confident, nor was he a love brain who took Bai Anyi’s life to escort Chi Jiangyu’s safety.

He is a shrewd, cold and lonely monster.

Chi Xiaochi doesn’t care what “Bai Anyi” is thinking.

He buried a pile of tender green rhizome shells in the soil and patted the dust off his body, just as he saw Dan Shuang just returning with the firewood he had collected, and immediately greeted him with a voice: “That that …… muscle is weak.”

Dan Shuang : “…… My name is Dan Shuang.”

Chi Xiaochi : “My brother asked me to let you know, get the real names and powers of all the current alters, he’s useful.”

……

And just as a group of people were going about their business, each in their own way, the Emergency Response Department finally received an instructional order from above.

”After the study and discussion of the organisation and the expert group, the following dispositions have been reached.”

”Live streaming and games will continue as usual without further interruptions or disruptions of any kind.”

” Chi Jiangyu was judged to be a class 4S hazard with no research value.”

”If he is besieged and dies while absorbing the alien, the last three winners will be competed to stay and work at the institution, following the usual practice.”

”If he succeeds in absorbing all the Alter Ego, after the normal interruption of the broadcast and settlement of the bet, he does not transmit Chi Jiangyu’s conscious body and pushes his body in the dormant chamber into the incinerator for physical destruction.”

The Minister breathed a long sigh of relief on receiving this notification.

Fortunately.

Chi Jiangyu’s death was of no concern to him as long as he got his share of the betting money.

The secretary took the circulars that were to be distributed to the various offices, skimmed through them and found a slight loophole: “Minister, there’s no mention of Bai Anyi in this report.”

The Minister had almost forgotten about this person if he hadn’t mentioned it.

” Bai Anyi? Well, what happened to him?”

”Minister, as you can see, Chi Jiangyu is so keen to protect Bai Anyi, so it’s clear that the two of them have a strong bond. Even if Chi Jiangyu really has the ability to kill other psychics, he will still leave Bai Anyi behind in the end. When the time comes, if we have to teleport, will Bai Anyi be kept or not?”

The minister had a vague suspicion of what was going on, “What do you want to say, just say it.”

The secretary gripped the edge of the A4 paper of the notice tightly: “I mean, it’s obvious up there that they’re not going to bail Chi Jiangyu out now, but Bai Anyi is Chi Jiangyu’s brother and the two of them are related, so ……”

The Minister understood, “You mean Bai Anyi might also have the potential of a polymath?”

The secretary was all smiles: “…… Yeah. And he’s still a single psychic with very weak powers. Even if we can’t study Chi Jiangyu, it’s not bad to use him for research. Even if he may not have the gene for multiple psychic abilities in his body, a C-rank psychic like him can still be a ‘spotter’ in the squad. Wouldn’t it be too bad if he died along with Chi Jiangyu?”

The two men were talking animatedly when a phone call came in.

The minister picked it up, looked solemn, nodded his head twice in response to a certain sir, and listened quietly to the command.

After a few seconds, his scowl became subtle.

After answering “yes”, he put the receiver aside, took the newly sent notice from his secretary and shoved it into the paper shredder.

The secretary was surprised: “You’re ……”

The Minister sighed: “The research group at the top did not agree to the destruction of Chi Jiangyu and protested fiercely. After the Organization Division gave its decision, the head of the research group took the liberty of reflecting the situation to a higher level. A call came in from the Ministry of Science and Technology and their opinion was that the destruction of Chi Jiangyu should be put on hold.”

”So now ……”

The minister scratched his scalp and dusted off the scraps of paper he had gotten on his hands, “When the king of hell fights, the kids suffer. You and I are not the ones who can make decisions, let’s wait until the higher-ups have broken this matter down before we act.”
