Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 451 - 446: Ye Jianxiu Is Also a Bold Man
Ji Ning doesn’t think Number 51 has the courage to erase his brain memory.
So from the moment he went crazy, someone has been controlling him from the shadows.
That person is also a high-level Spiritual Ability User, and their ability is somewhat special.
They can use a certain medium to remotely control others.
Just like operating the small trinket of the B-Class Detective.
Ji Ning got on the ambulance, raised her hand to input some Healing Ability into the man on the bed, calming the still rampant ability within his body.
The detective who brought her here asked softly, "Leader Ji, is there still hope for him?"
"Sending him to the research institute should be timely."
She doesn’t save just anyone, especially this guy; she certainly won’t save him.
The detective was stunned and didn’t dare to ask Ji Ning to take action, quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the research institute.
The sudden chaos in the square dispelled the desire of Anhe Middle School’s teachers and students to continue touring Beijing.
After cooperating with the police and Security Bureau to complete the records, they had the driver take them to a hotel.
Originally, Principal Zhang wanted to return directly to the training camp, but the guide said, "With such a big event happening, the roads in Beijing will definitely be blocked, and the direction out of the city will be extremely congested. It’s better to find a hotel and rest for a night."
So, under the enthusiastic invitation of Bai Xiaotang’s brother, Mr. Bai Yusen, Principal Zhang took the students to a five-star hotel.
This hotel has an excellent environment, not only with natural hot springs but also a children’s zoo.
It houses many animals with gentle temperaments.
They can enjoy breakfast while watching the animals not far away and can even hand-feed the little animals.
It’s very suitable for family stays, and their arrival wasn’t abrupt.
The incident at the square caused them to miss lunch, fortunately, the hotel’s restaurant is open 24 hours.
They asked the waiter to order some food and then found the table closest to the zoo to sit down.
Everyone was very tired, but mostly frustrated.
A few members of the Ai Ning Team brushed through news on Star Entertainment, keeping up with the updates.
Currently, the top few hotspots pinned are:
#Beijing Hua Continent Female War God Statue Destroyed#
#Fanatic Claimed We’ve Been Deceived#
#Thunder Ability User Destroyed Hua Continent’s Spiritual Symbol#
#Commander is Not Dead#
...
It can be seen that someone is deliberately suppressing the "Commander is Not Dead" hotspot.
But the public opinion has fermented too quickly, still making this topic tens of thousands in heat.
Lin Yuanyang opened the Smart Brain, constantly tapping the keyboard, attempting to block the words "Commander is Not Dead" with technical means.
But the Smart Brain program rejected his request.
He could only bypass the Smart Brain’s supervision, using the most traditional techniques to delete posts, report the hotspot terms.
But the effect was minimal.
Fuming, Lin Yuanyang "snap" shut the Smart Brain.
Beside him, Bai Xiaotang was confused, asking, "Xiao Yang, what’s wrong with you?"
Lin Yuanyang’s face was flushed with anger; he pursed his lips in silence.
Bai Xiaotang wanted to ask more but was stopped by Sister You.
Everyone was somewhat silent, eating much less than before.
In a rush to fill half-full, they disbanded and returned to their rooms.
Bai Xiaotang and You Le stayed in one room.
Entering the room, You Le asked her, "Tangtang, did you hear what that madman said?"
"Mm."
Bai Xiaotang, lying on the bed, turned to look at her, her face very downcast.
"Do you believe in what he said?"
"I don’t know, but just feel so uneasy."
You Le was silent for a moment, her eyes carrying a trace of hesitation, "I don’t know why, but I always feel Sister Ning is related to that Female General."
Bai Xiaotang, hearing this, immediately sat up from the bed with a serious expression, "Sister You..."
You Le looked straight into her eyes, "Ever since the last 120th-anniversary celebration when I saw those three chiefs, I made some guesses. Their attitude towards Sister Ning was not ordinary, not like an attitude towards a subordinate or junior. Today, hearing that madman say we’ve all been deceived, the Commander isn’t dead. If the Female General hadn’t died, wouldn’t she have left any descendants after all these years?"
Bai Xiaotang’s eyes showed some struggle yet shook her head, "Sister Ning said she’s not a descendant of the idol."
"You asked her?"
Bai Xiaotang bit her lip, unsure whether to disclose Ji Ning’s secret.
"Mm, after all, Sister Ning’s name is the same as the idol, so I asked."
You Le furrowed her brows, "Not a descendant? That’s too strange."
Suddenly, You Le thought of a possibility, eyes instantly widening, gazing at Bai Xiaotang.
"Could it be her?"
Bai Xiaotang was also a bit dumbfounded, her face showing shock.
You Le thought more and more that it was, "Therefore her strength is unpredictable, and the three chiefs show her respect..."
"No, I mean! How do I explain this?" Bai Xiaotang flushed red, "They are related, but not as much as your idea. Sister Ning is, at most, the idol’s inheritor; they have nominally become mentor and disciple."
You Le was shocked.

Meanwhile.
Ji Ning found a button made of the same material as the small trinket on Number 51, and followed the ambulance to the research institute.
Ye Xingming saw her follow and was somewhat surprised.
Ji Ning didn’t mince words, "Give me a lab; I need to research something."
Ye Xingming asked about the specifics of her research.
Ji Ning handed the small trinket to him, "This thing can store traces of Spiritual Ability. I need to analyze its composition."
Ye Xingming also grew interested upon hearing, directly leading her to his S-Class lab.
That lab was the area Ji Ning hadn’t entered last time.
It was equipped with devices to suppress spiritual power.
As soon as Ji Ning entered, she felt the energy around her being heavily suppressed.
Ye Xingming explained a sentence, "Inside here has things to suppress spiritual power, preventing Spiritual Ability Users from spying; stay relaxed, try not to release spiritual power."
"What things?" Ji Ning’s heart was wary.
Ye Xingming pointed to the glass covers in the wall grooves on both sides.
Inside was an ordinary woody plant.
"This is a special mutated plant found deep inside the Pollution Zone by ancestors; it has a suppressive effect on spiritual power."
Ji Ning leaned closer, smelling a familiar scent, same as the black box left by the three juniors.
She thought of a possibility, a trace of anger rising in her heart. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
"Ye Jianxiu was indeed a bold person."
Even when told not to go, he went there.
Ye Xingming paused, showing a trace of a smile on his face.
The ancestor was indeed legendary, leaving many unsolved mysteries awaiting their generation to research.
Ye Xingming’s lab equipment was extremely complete, all the latest high-tech for research.
Allowing researchers to study hundreds of different types of substances.
He briefly introduced how to use the main instruments in the lab, then let Ji Ning take out the items.
With Ye Xingming’s assistance, the two dismantled the small trinket and button into eight pieces.
Using various methods, they obtained a detailed material analysis report.
Ye Xingming’s expression turned grim, pointing at one of the values, "This substance, I can guarantee it’s not from our planet."
"Outer space?" Ji Ning asked.
Ye Xingming nodded, face serious, "Before the chaotic era, Hua Continent’s technology had reached the level of space exploration, it was said they were planning to establish a research base on the far side of the moon. This substance very likely was brought back from the moon before the chaotic era."
