670 The Hidden Story (1/2)
He did not dare use Synchronous Playback.
After all, he was being carried on a shoulder. Once he tries to his energy, he might be detected by someone with a unique ability which would get him into trouble. He is here to investigate for clues, not deliver himself to death's door.
Su Hao lost track of time while they walked and carried him.
Thud!
Su Hao was thrown onto a bed, then these men left. A few moments later, a loud sound echoed.
Boom!
That was the sound of a metal gate closing.
They left?
Su Hao began to make a move.
Swish!
As Synchronous Playback was activated, the surrounding scene appeared in his view once more. After ensuring those men had left, Su Hao opened his eyes. However, even when he was psychologically prepared, Su Hao was still shocked by what he saw.
It was a huge, spacious room.
Just like a hospital, countless white beds were lying around, and each bed had a person lying on them unconscious. Everyone's wrist has a bracelet and an infusion bottle to deliver nutrient fluid.
Su Hao's scalp experienced some tingling.
It's strange when one person is involved, but when hundreds of people are in such a state, it's too terrifying! Exactly which force is it that has such a big and daring ambition?
”Damn it!”
”Backtrack!”
Su Hao instantly skipped into the timeline six years ago.
The scene when Zhang Yating was still in a coma was actually the same as the current one. At that time, the security in this room wasn't as strict as now, but the scene of everyone being connected to the nutrient fluid was the same.
”Great!”
Su Hao took a deep breath.
Now that he had arrived at the right place, he could now track down the roots. He knew that it was now the time to unveil what happened six years ago.
”Time accelerate!”
”Backtrack!”
Boom!
The scene in the model world changed again.
To render the past, the condition was to be at the spot he wished to know more about. After all, Su Hao wasn't one with a time talent. To reveal the past, he had to physically be at the location, which is the very reason he sneaked in here. When the time was accelerated, it was as if Su Hao toggled the fast forward button.
What happened six years ago was quickly shown in front of his eyes.
Zhang Yating, Ping Yang, and many others were locked up here. Su Hao even guessed that there must be more than one of these rooms here.
One month—
Everyone was thrown into this room.
They were all transfused with this nutrient fluid for a full month. When they regained their consciousness, they realized that there was an additional bracelet on their wrist.
It's only use was to seal one's energy!
This bracelet has the ability to seal every method of using origin energy, turning an esper into an ordinary human being. There is only one place that produces this item. It's none other than the Federation itself! Based on the regulation, this bracelet will never ever be abused by any unofficial forces.
”Is the Federation a part of this?”
This thought appeared in Su Hao's mind, but he quickly discarded it.
If the Federation is really involved in this, they won't be this silly that when a problem arose, they would actually send people to investigate it.
”Who could it be if it's not the Federation?”
Su Hao just silently observed the scene because, at that time, Zhang Yating regained her consciousness.
”Who are you?” Zhang Yating woke up. There weren't any signs of fear. Instead, she asked a man in black. Her strong aura even forced the man to take a step back.
”Huh... so fierce.” The man in black laughed, ”Without any energy, you're still this prideful?”
Zhang Yating glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, ”So it's this. Then, I am now imprisoned by you guys? I am a disciple of the Zhang family's head. Aren't you all afraid of the Zhang family's revenge?”
”Zhang family?” The man in black was stunned for a bit. Then, it was as if he had heard something funny, he pointed at Zhang Yating, ”If you're a disciple of the Zhang family's head, then I am his son. You are so funny.”
Su Hao locked his brows slightly.
What kind of reaction is this coming from this man in black...
The ones caught here are all geniuses from all kinds of families from small to big.
What's so funny if Zhang Yating is from the Zhang family?
”What do you mean by that?”
Zhang Yating's brows wrinkled for a bit. These people didn't capture her because of her identity? After sacrificing two domain espers before successfully capturing her, they actually didn't know her identity?
”You don't have to know.” The man in black smiled as he looked at Zhang Yating's well-developed body with a perverted gaze, ”Hmm, indeed you're able to bring one excitement but what a pity...”
The man in black looked at the hanging bottle next to them in regret.
”Come here, change a new one for her.”
After that, another man in black arrived, replacing the infusion bottle with a new one and sneered, ”After the fluid transfusion is finished, do move around for better digestion. However, if you have any other ideas... Hehe, what the base is never lacking is the means to deal with all of you that you will prefer to die than be alive.”
Base!
