Chapter 155 Prelude

"There's a problem. Something must have happened that we haven't seen."

Ye Qingwan watched the car carrying Molos drive away and muttered something to herself.

She then reached out and opened her terminal, entered a long password, and obtained access to all the surveillance footage in the entire area.

Because many of the surveillance cameras in this area were destroyed during their fight, finding them was somewhat difficult. Fortunately, Ye Qingwan spotted Lin Xiyue in a relatively secluded, still intact camera lens.

She zoomed in on the video, adjusted it to be clear, and then began to watch it.

She saw Lin Xiyue being placed outside the light barrier by Moros, who gave her a few instructions before turning around and walking inside.

Because they were far apart, the surveillance camera couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging from their actions, they were probably talking about waiting for him to come out or something like that.

Then you can see Lin Xiyue nervously staring at Moros outside the light shield.

Her beautiful face was filled with tension, and her eyes were fixed on the scene of fierce battle that was taking place inside through the transparent light barrier.

Sometimes she would furrow her brow slightly, her face full of anxiety, worrying about Meros who was fighting inside; other times she would be so excited by the brilliant moments when Meros struck the monster that she would exclaim out, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists, completely immersed in this thrilling battle.

It's easy to see from her expression and reaction that her heart is completely captivated by the man named Meros inside, and every attack or defense he makes causes huge emotional fluctuations in her.

"It doesn't seem like anything special from this perspective?"

Louis, who was standing nearby, also came over to look at the video, but didn't find anything strange about it.

"Keep looking."

Ye Qingwan told Louis to calm down and continued playing the surveillance footage.

The video continues, and we can see Lin Xiyue looking at something in front of her with great surprise, then reaching out her finger as if she wanted to touch it.

Then, she seemed to hear a sound and turned her head in surprise to look at the light barrier, which was the place where Meros had entered.

Ye Qingwan glanced at the time in the lower left corner of the monitor and guessed that Moros had already dealt with the large monster and was calling her.

Then, Ye Qingwan and Louis saw a huge light suddenly burst forth in front of Lin Xiyue. After the light dissipated, Lin Xiyue had already collapsed to the ground, and only a few seconds had passed.

The next second, Meros appeared in the frame.

He looked extremely anxious on camera, and his actions and demeanor made Ye Qingwan, who was watching through the screen, feel that Lin Xiyue in his arms was in a very bad condition.

Then, he stood up with Lin Xiyue in his arms, looking furious, and quickly walked out of the frame.

The video ended there, and what appeared in Lin Xiyue's and the others' view afterward were the staff members killing the various small monsters that had split off.

Ye Qingwan knew clearly that the change occurred around the time of that burst of light. So she rewound the video, focusing on the area around Lin Xiyue's hands.

Finally, after being magnified dozens of times and repaired by AI, Ye Qingwan could see clearly the thing between Lin Xiyue's fingers.

It was a small sphere emitting a pale green light. After hundreds of repairs, a ferocious smiling face could be clearly seen on the sphere. That smiling face was the same as the monster that Meros had killed.

Ye Qingwan grinned maliciously as she watched the small sphere formed by the monster, and charged towards Lin Xiyue's fingertips. Lin Xiyue was then enveloped in a white light, and when she emerged, she collapsed to the ground.

"It seems that Sister Xiyue got into trouble because of this."

Louis looked at the scene and murmured to himself.

"let's go."

Ye Qingwan immediately pulled Louis and started walking outside.

"Hey hey hey?! Where are we going?! You have such strength?! I, hey, slow down, slow down."

Louis was being dragged along. As a grown man, he was being pulled along by Ye Qingwan, his feet almost leaving the ground. However, because he was a little taller than Ye Qingwan, his feet kept bobbing up and down on the ground, dragging along, and he kept crying out in pain.

“We need to find Meros. We’ve discovered a problem and we have to get to him right away. Otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll destroy the entire city.”

As Ye Qingwan spoke, she threw Louis into the flying car and then sat in the driver's seat herself.

"Sit tight."

Ye Qingwan said something to Louis and then activated the manual driving mode.

"Huh? What?! -- Oh my god -- you -- piloted -- a -- mecha --?! Ahhhhhh!"

Louis was initially a little confused, but after Ye Qingwan started, his voice was instantly drawn out.

Because he hadn't had time to fasten his seatbelt, he was pressed firmly into his seat by the recoil of the car starting up quickly.

After he finally managed to fasten his seatbelt, the car had already stopped.

"Come out, we've arrived."

Ye Qingwan went to the back door of the car and spoke to Louis inside.

"Well……"

“ou——”

Louis stumbled open the car door, half-knelt on the ground, and spat out a rainbow.

"Tsk, it's really useless."

Ye Qingwan rolled her eyes at Louis, somewhat disgusted, but she still waited until Louis finished vomiting before walking towards the psychic energy center.

"Wait for me!"

Louis hurriedly chased after him.

The two of them arrived at the entrance of the psionic center, but were forced to stop.

Because everyone who had stayed behind had gathered in front of the main gate. Upon seeing Ye Qingwan return, they hurriedly huddled around her, chattering excitedly, their faces filled with anxiety.

"Stop, stop, stop! Call the highest-ranking officer left behind to speak to me. I can't hear anything you're saying."

Ye Qingwan was so annoyed by the noise that she hurriedly told everyone to quiet down.

"Uh, sir, I'm the highest-ranking officer left behind. I..."

The woman who was pushed out was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her thirties, but she seemed a little nervous and her eyes were full of panic.

"It's okay, just say it."

Ye Qingwan glanced at it and found that she didn't recognize it. She knew that the person must be a low-level manager, and probably belonged to the later stage, which was why she was so panicked.

"I'm in charge of logistics. After you went on your mission, we were organizing the documents as usual. Then suddenly, in an instant, everyone was thrown out. Apart from some scratches, no one was hurt, and then we couldn't get back in."

"Because those who stayed behind were all from the later stages, we didn't know what had happened. We also couldn't contact you, and we couldn't leave here. Then, Captain Ye, you came back."
