Chapter 39 Chapter 39 (2/2)

Ji Yushi, “……..”

Li Chun rubbed the back of his head, “That, we only just returned so it might be too early talking about this.”

Ji Yushi didn’t seem to be in good condition.

Even though it has been proven that he wasn’t a weakling, the fragile scene of him unable to unscrew a bottle cap was still deeply imprinted in their hearts. After Li Chun talked for a while, he soon left the ward to give Ji Yushi time to rest.

But soon after Li Chun left, the others arrived one after another.

The twins, Zhou Mingxuan and Duan Wen all dropped by. Because it was too rowdy, they were all ushered back to their rooms by the nurse after a while. In general, they all had one thought: They hoped that Ji Yushi could stay.

Ji Yushi felt a little helpless, but he was also a little shaken.

Having experienced such a dangerous and terrifying mission and having experienced such a cruel case of time and space hijacking, it was normal for it to leave behind a psychological shadow. Not to mention those with poor psychological endurance, even normal people would feel a resistance to getting back into the capsules for another transition.

But the Tianqiong Seventh Squad was different.

Of course, they had just returned to reality and it was impossible for them to have another mission so soon, but they were already thinking about their next mission.

With this kind of psychological endurance, they would most certainly pass the assessment with ease.

Unafraid and unable to die; the resilience of the seventh squad was awe-inspiring.

After the teammates left, an expert arrived as scheduled and performed a three-hour psychological assessment for Ji Yushi.

Before it ended, the expert asked three questions.

“Ji Yushi, during the transition error, did your trust in Tianqiong and the command centre waver at all?”

Ji Yushi said, “No.”

The expert asked, “Why?”

Ji Yushi, “Because if you described it as a ‘dimension’, I think that the ‘Tianqiong with self-awareness’ comes from a dimension that far surpasses ours, so this was just an accident that no one could predict. On the other hand, I also believed that Tianqiong and the command centre would be able to find us. All that we had to worry about was how long we would have to wait.”

The expert then asked, “And after the transition went wrong, did you ever think about using the opportunity to transition to another era?”

After asking this question, the pale-skinned expert pushed up his glasses and looked earnestly at Ji Yushi.

Ji Yushi lowered his eye. There was a small polygraph attached to his wrist detecting his pulse.

He spoke again with no change to his voice, “No, I have never had that thought because I know the organisation keeps its promises and will give me that opportunity sooner or later.”

The polygraph showed a green light.

The expert packed up the equipment and soon left the room.

At nine o’clock in the morning of the next day, all the reports for the seventh squad were sent out.

Everyone had passed. They could now leave.

After returning home, each person wrote a detailed report. In addition to that, the branch also granted them a three-month long vacation for them to recuperate. Once they return to Tianqiong, they are to have another psychological assessment.

Duan Wen brought back everyone’s personal belongings and gave Ji Yushi his clothes, phone etc

After Ji Yushi got dressed and opened the door of his ward, he was met with Song Qinglan leaning against the wall outside his door, “Advisor Ji.”

A familiar low voice.

It was like the first time it reached Ji Yushi’s ears through the public channel, catching him off guard.

Even his heart raced a little.

The man’s tall figure combined with his pair of long and straight legs gave him a strong presence. Even with him leaning back slightly, it gave Ji Yushi a small urge to retreat —- After not seeing him for a few days and with the addition of his final interaction being with the child version of the other party, the current adult version of Song Qinglan felt a little unfamiliar.

Song Qinglan seemed to have been bored waiting for him. As soon as Ji Yushi came out, he said, “You’re always so slow.”

This scene seemed familiar.

Ji Yushi remembered that when they were taking turns showering after returning from the rainforest, Song Qinglan had also waited for him outside.

Ji Yushi’s expression remained unchanged. His beautiful eyes looked at Song Qinglan, “Cap Song, are you here again to throw me an olive branch?”

“That’s not it.” Song Qinglan answered casually, “It’s no use rushing. Even if I throw a branch, Advisor Ji may not catch it anyway.”

He stood up from the wall and then curled his lips, “I actually woke up the earliest and wanted to see you before the others to leave myself with a good impression. Unfortunately, luck wasn’t on my side and I was hit with a bunch of procedures. The people above really don’t want to give me a break.”

Song Qinglan was the captain. His circumstances were naturally different from theirs.

That was why Ji Yushi never asked when everyone apart from Song Qinglan visited him. He knew that he wouldn’t be able to get away so easily.

Ji Yushi said, “Then when I return, I will write more words of praise for you in my mission report.”

“No need to wait for the mission report.” Song Qinglan said in a relaxed tone, “Chief Qi wants to invite us to eat so you can just say something nice then.”

Chief….Qi?

Ji Yushi frowned, “How many chiefs are there in the Jiang City branch?”

Song Qinglan said, “Only one. Why?”

The look in Ji Yushi’s eyes changed, “Then what about Chief Wang?”
