Chapter 122: Examination (2/2)
”Hmm, I’m quite new here!”
”I see!” Doctor Lu realized his situation and explained, ”To leave the Orbits, you’ll need starships, but all the starships are controlled by the mentalist sanctuary. For those who wish to leave the Orbits, the sanctuary had set the rule that, if one can pass five of their tests, they will issue their starship to send the successful person away from the Orbits and back to the Five Galaxies.”
”Right!” Ye Chong began to understand, and asked, ”What do they test you on?”
”Anything you’re good at. But not many passed the tests, only a few are able to every year. Well, at least I’ve never seen any of them!”
”I see, if that’s the case, then farewell!” Ye Chong turned to leave.
”Oh, farewell!” Doctor Lu paused for a moment before replying in kind. Looking at Ye Chong’s lonely, receding figure, Doctor Lu was once again reminded of his merciless nature, and shuddered as cold sweat rolled down his back. Seeing Ye Chong’s figure becoming smaller and smaller, unlikely to return, Docor Lu couldn't help but exhale in relief, rejoicing in the fact that he had not offended the murderer.
”Mu, do you think the doctor’s right?” Ye Chong asked.
”I have very little information in this respect and cannot determine that. However, he was not lying, that’s for sure!” Mu replied.
”Not lying?” Ye Chong grew curious. ”How’d you know he’s not?”
”Based on Shang’s curated information in psychology, if a person is lying, there will be obvious changes in the person’s pulse rate, rate of blood flow and brain wave intensity. He was normal in these respects just now. That is the basis of my deduction that he was not lying!” Mu explained at his own steady pace.
”Is that a reliable way?” Ye Chong was skeptical.
”Only if Shang’s curated information is accurate!” Mu continued further, ”Of course, with some training, these signs can be minimized, but they cannot be entirely eliminated. This is widely agreed upon in the field of psychology, I believe it’s highly reliable.”
”Hmm, if that’s the case, then this way of deduction is quite useful!” Ye Chong seemed to be absorbed in thought, before smiling and say, ”I didn’t think Shang would collect some information, it’s really unexpected!”
”That last comment of yours, Shang has a few words to say about them, wanna hear it?” It seemed that Mu was very interested in what Shang had to say under his hood, and had turned to a more human-like way of speaking.
The thought of Shang’s incessant blabbering brought an instant headache to Ye Chong. He immediately protested for mercy, ”Please no! There’s a high chance that he’ll trigger another episode, I am not blacking out here!”
”Ye, you forgot to pay for the doctor’s services!” Mu prompted Ye Chong.
”Er, payment, that’s a big problem! You got any suggestions?”
”None!” Mu replied in his clear-cut manner.
”Oh well!” Ye Chong shrugged carelessly, and walked on without turning back. On Blue ocean, life was peaceful, and Ye Chong had tried desperately to fit in with the normal way of life. However, a series of battles had ensued, and Ye Chong realized that power was the most important factor for survival. The so-called societal norms were useless to him. On the Orbits, life was a mess of struggles, and people fought to survive. It was as if he was back on the trash planet. However, his opponents were no longer mutants, but humans just like him.
The so-called social norms never did have a deep hold on Ye Chong, and now, they were carelessly cast away.
Ye Chong deployed Yu Di and slipped into the pilot’s cabin. Since the door was too small, Ye Chong exited through the wide opening in the wall that he created earlier.
Just as he was on the other side of the wall, something caught him off guard!
Suddenly, his vision was filled with numerous bright spots, and Ye Chong, unable to react in time, could only see white everywhere, blinded by the light!
Not good!
Pow! A loud bang, and Ye Chong felt like he was flying through the clouds!
The sensation was familiar to him - Yu Di was hit, and was now flying off due to the attack!
”I am being ambushed!” Ye Chong finally realised!
