The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Jiang Chuan has a good memory, but of course, finding a way doesn't require much memorization for him. With his perception range expanded, everything within a radius of twenty meters can be clearly presented in his mind.

He was heading towards the elevator he had taken there. There were still five minutes until the delivery time. According to Jiang Chuan's calculations, the delivery personnel would arrive just as he reached the elevator.

Although entering and exiting would certainly require a strict review process, Jiang Chuan had already figured out how to leave this underground research institute quietly.

Based on my current level of mental strength, managing two delivery personnel shouldn't be a problem.

As long as you don't get seen by the other party, it's not difficult. After your mental strength has been greatly improved, it's easy to infect two ordinary people with your mental power.

The journey went smoothly, and at around four in the morning, the entire base seemed quiet. Although many staff members were busy in the deeper areas, Jiang Chuan's area was not the core, and he was not actually being "guarded," so no one noticed what he was thinking about.

He quickly arrived at the corner of the straight corridor where the elevator was located.

Next, all we have to do is wait for the two deliverymen to come out of the elevator.

Jiang Chuan shrunk his perception field into a line, preparing to wait for the elevator doors to open so he could blend in.

"call……"

He took a deep breath.

It even felt a bit exciting.

Although Jiang Chuan believed that leaving this place wouldn't be too difficult, he also knew that he only had one chance.

If he were discovered, and Xu Shan knew that he wanted to sneak out, then the control would definitely be strengthened, and his range of activities would be more strictly restricted.

In that case, such a golden opportunity would never again appear in this heavily guarded base.

To be honest, getting out of here would be extremely difficult. If Jiang Chuan hadn't been "trusted," this operation would have been virtually impossible. Furthermore, his eagerness to leave the base and return to the surface was making his heart race.

Hold your breath and clear your mind of all distractions.

Because the elevator sign had already displayed a "↓" mark.

Ding!
The elevator whirred in the quiet corridor at night.

Jiang Chuan's mental energy had already penetrated into the elevator car, and the huge cargo boxes and the staff following on both sides of the boxes were completely exposed to Jiang Chuan's perception.

So... the next step is the infiltration of mental energy.

To be honest, this was Jiang Chuan's first time attempting mental infiltration. Although they were two ordinary people, Jiang Chuan was still extremely vigilant, wanting to ensure nothing unusual happened. It wasn't about possession; it was likely just about blocking some visual signals, which shouldn't be too difficult for Jiang Chuan. Combined with his current strength, the final success rate would be… 100%!
The elevator doors opened to the left and right. But Jiang Chuan's mental energy had already begun to invade the elevator before the doors even opened.

The immense spiritual energy enveloped the brains of the two staff members, preparing to launch an attack and penetrate their visual centers at the same time.

Jiang Chuan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then suddenly poured his mental energy into the visual centers of the two staff members!

This spiritual invasion only takes a moment, and they will be robbed of one of their five senses—visual ability—without even realizing it!
However, just as that spiritual energy pierced their mental sea like an extremely fine steel needle... Jiang Chuan, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened them in astonishment.

He was leaning against the wall, his eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

The elevator doors were now fully open, and inside the spacious elevator car, two staff members responsible for transporting supplies were solemnly guarding the corridor in front of them.

"Intrusion!?"

"Be careful... He's a master of mental attacks! At least at the fourth-tier level!"

Should we sound the alarm?

"To confirm again, it seems the enemy has already infiltrated the base... Theoretically, what we should do now is evacuate..."

That's what they say, but this guy had already quietly placed his hand on the alarm button.

Jiang Chuan's face was extremely pale. He never expected that these two unassuming deliverymen were actually... two Class B?
It's at least at the level of Grade B, and it's not impossible that it could even be Grade A4.

Originally intended to deal with mental strength at the level of ordinary people, it was, for a master of the highest level, merely a tickle-like "early warning".

"It's just transporting supplies, why would you use B-level equipment?"

"Fuck!"

In fact, for the Yanjiao Mecha Research Base, using two B-rank soldiers to escort supplies is not a luxurious practice.

After all, this is currently the only channel of communication between the base and the outside world. In order to ensure the safety of all personnel at the base, the use of personnel in this regard should naturally prioritize stability.

However, Jiang Chuan had only been observing and had not thought of this point.

As for the present moment, he didn't have time to think about so many things.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan doesn't have much time left to think.

The other party is about to issue a warning to the base and headquarters. I believe that the moment the warning is issued, all the defense personnel from headquarters, the Yanjing agency and the base will rush here... and my escape plan will be ruined in an instant. Most importantly, that deep-seated obsession will be completely cut off!

Jiang Chuan cannot allow himself to fail.

The other party is about to press the alarm button... Jiang Chuan must make a judgment immediately.

The spatial ability was activated in an instant, subtly extending the distance between the finger and the button.

In that instant, his mind raced with thoughts.

Could he defeat two masters with at least the strength of the Otsu-gami level in an instant?

No, doing that would obviously land me in jail.

Even if I could defeat my opponents in an instant, I wouldn't have much time to escape, let alone defeat them simultaneously.

"How to do?"

"what to do!?"

My heart was pounding, and my finger was about to press down.

At least……

Let's stop them from sounding the alarm first.

When Jiang Chuan thought of this, he gritted his teeth and stepped out from behind the corner, revealing himself to the two staff members.

"!"

The two staff members immediately drew their weapons, which were two long knives.

Just by looking at them, Jiang Chuan could tell that these were two very formidable opponents.

His mere stance already subtly exuded a certain "power".

Clearly, the selection of these escorts wasn't random. While their individual abilities might not be exceptional, their combined strength made them a formidable opponent. Jiang Chuan even suddenly recalled the two skilled gunmen he'd encountered on Airport Road. If they were still alive, perhaps the Song City organization's personnel could have made it to the finals of the fourth stage of training?

The thumb ultimately did not press down.

On one hand, Jiang Chuan extended the path of his thumb as he pressed down; on the other hand, the other party also recognized the young man in front of him.

The man standing to the right of the huge cargo container relaxed his attack stance slightly and unexpectedly spoke:
"Jiangchuan?"

Jiang Chuan was already a well-known "action star" at headquarters, and given that he had slain a dragon over Yanjing two weeks prior, he was now...

Jiang Chuan's mind was in turmoil, but he smiled and nodded.

However, the man on the left, who was clearly more cautious, maintained his peak posture, as if his strike could come at any moment.

What are you doing here at this hour?

coming.

In any case, his attempt to invade with his mental energy had failed, and it was obvious that the other party had already noticed.

Then this question from the other party is bound to occur.

Whether he can leave this underground research institute depends on whether he can gain the trust of the people he meets in the next conversation.

But what can I do here at this time?

Jiang Chuan's mind worked extremely fast, and he quickly came up with an idea.

Perhaps I could say... that I was instructed by Xu Shan to conduct some crisis drills?
However, he soon overturned this line of thinking himself.

Such a lie is easily exposed, and Xu Shan should still be awake; a single contact would shatter her lie.

But other explanations couldn't reasonably account for why he would attack the two escorts. Time was ticking away, and Jiang Chuan knew he couldn't show any panic. If the other side realized he was in a bad state, they would probably immediately press the alarm.

The silence cannot continue.

Even though Jiang Chuan hadn't figured out how to answer, he had to speak up.

"I'm just taking a walk."

The man with the knife on the left: "..."

"At this time... just taking a casual stroll?"

Jiang Chuan nodded: "I've been under a lot of pressure lately. I can't sleep at night, and the room is too small, so I'm just wandering around."

As he spoke, Jiang Chuan was also thinking rapidly, following the line of thought he had just mentioned.

Feeling stressed? Having trouble sleeping?

This is possible.

However, the man with the knife on the left did not lower his guard. He continued to ask, "Was it you who just carried out the mental invasion?"

Jiang Chuan nodded reluctantly.

The other person gripped the knife tighter, and the scabbard trembled.

"why?"

Jiang Chuan's expression remained calm, but his mind was in turmoil. What he was about to say would undoubtedly become the key point.

If I say something wrong, not only will I not be able to leave, but my house arrest may turn into imprisonment.

There are two prerequisites: the influence cannot be expanded, and the ability to go out must be ensured.

However, it would be too easy for the other party to verify the truthfulness of their statement...

The silence couldn't last. In a flash, a bitter smile appeared on Jiang Chuan's lips.

"I'm sorry, I don't want to lay a hand on you... You know I have no hostility towards you."

That's true; the knife-wielding man on the left, who had remained vigilant the whole time, finally relaxed a little.

Jiang Chuan's dragon-slaying in Yanjing was witnessed by all the awakened ones, and he was also the youngest and shortest-trained Class 3 in the organization. With such a status, dealing with two Class 2 superiors should not be a problem.

But he still said, "I must report this matter regardless."

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth inwardly, but he still waved his hand and tried to say, "No, no, no."

"If Brother Xu finds out about this, he'll scold me again."

"Why don't you two just turn a blind eye?"

The other party frowned: "You still haven't explained why you attacked us."

Jiang Chuan's heart was pounding. He was suppressing his nervousness, and his brain was working at a speed far exceeding that when he was dealing with Li Guo'er.

And this problem is indeed quite fatal.

But Jiang Chuan had already sorted out his thoughts.

He began by saying, "Didn't I already say that?"

“I’ve been under a lot of pressure lately… I just saw you guys coming down and it suddenly reminded me of this, so I thought I’d take this opportunity to get some fresh air.”

"..."

"Ok."

"Actually, I just wanted to sneak out, so I..."

"You'd better not tell Supervisor Xu."

"He has already rejected my idea of ​​going out today..."

Jiang Chuan almost told the truth, but he didn't reveal any real motive.

This can also evoke some empathy, as the airtight environment of the underground base can indeed accumulate psychological pressure.

Jiang Chuan had done everything he could, but... the other party was indeed a professional.

Although Jiang Chuan said he hoped he wouldn't report it to his superiors, he still raised his communication device and applied to contact his supervisor, Xu Shan.

Jiang Chuan could understand this caution.

Soon, the two of them got in touch with Xu Shan and confirmed what Jiang Chuan had said.

"call."

This time, the man with the knife finally lowered his guard.

"Young man Jiang Chuan, you really scared me to death."

"..."

Jiang Chuan is thinking of other ways to leave this place.

When the escorting personnel were questioning Xu Shan, they didn't mention the attack; they only confirmed the truthfulness of what Jiang Chuan said.

Jiang Chuan has managed to resolve some of the troubles, at least preventing his current problems from escalating.

However, if they let it go tonight, it will only become more difficult to get out later. After all, Xu Shan already knows that they are trying to leave.

Just as Jiang Chuan was pondering this, the man with the knife continued:
"Let's forget about this, but you need to get out of here..."

"Since Supervisor Xu doesn't allow you to go out, we can't disobey orders."

"We still need to deliver the supplies to the logistics department..."

"As you please."

Jiang Chuan gritted his teeth: "Can't we just turn a blind eye? I'll be back soon after I go."

The man shook his head: "Let's not make things difficult for the two of us."

However, at that moment, another voice suddenly appeared behind Jiang Chuan:
"I also want to go out for some fresh air."

Jiang Chuan was startled by the sudden, slow, deliberate voice. He turned around abruptly and found that it was... He Teng, the chess fanatic.

He Teng stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Jiang Chuan, saying, "What if I were included?"

"Let's go out together."

The man with the knife was taken aback: "Mr. He!?"

"If it were you..."

He hesitated for a moment: "I will inform Supervisor Xu..."

He Teng said, "Okay."

He continued walking forward, turning his head to look at the dumbfounded Jiang Chuan:
"You want to go out, don't you?"

"Come on, I'll take you out."

Jiang Chuan nodded in surprise and followed.

But his heart was in turmoil.

Who exactly is this guy?!
……

at the same time.

Directly above the research base below, at the main entrance of the military camp that serves as cover.

A soldier on duty spotted a solitary figure slowly emerging from the darkness. (End of Chapter)
