Chapter 279 - Capability Test (2/2)

“There is always a remnant chaos of consciousness remaining in every plane where there was life. One day, that mess would become one with the plane.”

“Become one? You mean they would reincarnate as well?”

“Yes.” Shen Jing nodded. “Managers are different. We necessarily exist on a higher level than the planes.”

“Then can we go back to that plane?”

“Before I clarify the situation, you can’t!” Shen Jing’s voice lowered. “But we will settle this score. As for Little Ying…” She turned around to address the woman who was chewing on an apple beside her. “What’s wrong with you?”

“Ah?” Shen Ying paused and tilted her head. “What… What’s wrong?”

“From the moment I returned, you’ve been eating? You’ve already made six trips to the fridge. Have you not eaten today?”

“But I’m hungry!” Shen Ying felt wronged.

“Big Sister Shen Jing, she’s always been this way. In the past, Chef would cook a lot more,” Lonemoon added instinctively.

Shen Jing scanned him from head to toe. “Who told you that she’s always been this way?”

“Ah?” Lonemoon hesitated.

As if thinking of something, his eyes suddenly widened.

Was she not?!

Shen Jing’s expression darkened as she stood up. “Both of you, come in with me!”

Once she said that, she turned around and went back into the room.

Lonemoon and Shen Ying exchanged glanced and followed her into the room. That was when Lonemoon saw what it was like inside. It was a plane white space that was frighteningly huge. He could not see the end of the room. It looked way more spacious than an average flat was supposed to look.

Inside, apart from a pillar that was as tall as his waist, there was nothing else.

Shen Jing walked next to the pillar, reached out and let her hand hover over it for a second. The room suddenly lit up. All around, countless screens appeared, displaying complicated patterns and diagrams which Lonemoon did not understand. He suddenly felt like he was in the future.

“Both of you, stand over there.” Shen Jing pointed over to her right., where two red spots shone onto the ground. “I want to test your data.”

The two of them walked over as instructed.

Shen Jing tapped on one of the screens, causing a bunch of data to appear around each of them. There were more than a hundred pages of data surrounding each of them, but Lonemoon understood none of it. Faintly, he could see that the letters “SSS” were written on the last page.

He instinctively turned to look at Shen Ying’s. Her data was all warped. A bit further down, all Lonemoon saw was a mess of numbers. At the end was written in red – “Numbers messed up!”

“What’s the matter?” Lonemoon looked confused. His heart fell subconsciously. Even the blind would be able to see that there was a problem with Shen Ying. Moreover, it was probably the reason why she felt like eating so much all the time.

“Unable to test?” Shen Jing whispered. Her voice was giving Lonemoon the chills. Very quickly, she manipulated the data around Shen Ying. Yet, it remained a mess of numbers. The red warning at the bottom did not disappear.

Shen Jing’s expression got darker and darker. A moment later, she seemed to realise something. She turned to tap on the screen beside her. Suddenly, a transparent stage appeared in front of Shen Ying’s face. On it was a round piece of equipment.

“I can’t scan it. Try using this.” Shen Ying pointed to the ball.

“Body-Scanner?” Shen Ying hesitated. She immediately recognised the equipment and picked it up. “Big Sister, haven’t I always been a 3S body type?”

“Hold it!” Shen Jing did not answer Shen Ying.

“Oh.” Shen Ying trembled and immediately took hold of the ball, tightening her grip on it instinctively.

There was a crack. The precise equipment suddenly broke into a thousand pieces. Faintly, they could see flashes of electric current between her hands.

Shen Ying: “…”

Lonemoon: “…”

She wouldn’t be killed, right?
