Completely Fine

This Wallfacers named Zhou Haiyang is certainly efficient! He doesn't show any politeness whatsoever.

Li Yao was taken aback by the atmosphere and subconsciously followed. Big Sis Feng Li laughed beside him, "I didn't realize you were so easygoing."

Before Li Yao could reply,

Feng Li sighed, "Zhou Haiyang is unmarried and has no children, only a nephew whom he treats like his own son. His nephew is among those involved in this case."

Li Yao pursed his lips and asked, "What about his family?"

Big Sis Feng Li: "The Drug Enforcement Police has been killed in action."

Li Yao: "..."

Big Sis Feng Li spoke casually, but Li Yao's steps suddenly became heavier.

He let out a sigh of relief and said, "Let's go see him first."

Big Sis Feng Li: "Okay."

This hidden base in the mountain is quite large and contains a lot of equipment.

Li Yao knew of equipment such as radar and monitoring satellites, and there seemed to be some research equipment deeper inside the base.

Once they reached the depths, Zhou Haiyang was already waiting in front of an elevator.

The elevator doors opened, and Zhou Haiyang was blocking them from closing.

Li Yao and the others quickly followed inside. Once inside, Zhou Haiyang took off the black gloves he was wearing and pressed the B5 button with his thumb. With a slight feeling of weightlessness, Li Yao and the others quickly arrived at the B5 Level.

As the elevator doors opened

The view of B5 Level came into view.

Unlike the bright and clean environment above, B5 Level seemed somewhat dark, and even the Sunlight Lamp installed below looked rather dim.

Zhou Haiyang took the lead and walked out first.

Li Yao followed behind him and saw that the rooms here were all separate and isolated.

The room was small, only about five or six square meters, and contained basic necessities. The room was sealed off on five sides, except for one side which was made of special tempered glass. Through the glass, one could see that individuals were being held captive inside... or non-human beings.

Zhou Haiyang, who was walking in front, said, "This is one of the prisons in Su Province. It holds humans or aliens who attempt to invade the country."

Li Yao nodded. Along the way, he saw that the people imprisoned here included white people, black people, and even the sinister-looking Japanese from the islands—after all, only they would shave their heads bald except for the sides! Li Yao was utterly speechless at this hairstyle...

Of course, there are exceptions.

Compared to humans, those other species are in a much worse situation; they all carry special seals and shackles to varying degrees.

only,

Putting those involved in the case in jail... isn't that going a bit too far?

While Li Yao was lost in thought, Zhou Haiyang stopped in front of a prison. "We've arrived. There are 26 infected Wallfacers under the jurisdiction of Haizhou, including 10 guards and 16 wandering knights. The remaining Wallfacers involved in the case are missing, and it is estimated that they have probably already sacrificed themselves."

Zhou Haiyang reported the data like a machine.

His tone was firm and devoid of any personal emotion.

But the more this was the case, the heavier Li Yao felt these cold, hard numbers became.

Big Sis Feng Li quickly handed a folder to Li Yao: "All the information on the surviving infected Wallfacers is here."

When Li Yao opened the folder, he saw that the Wallfacers at the top was named "Zhou Lei".

The photo in the document bears some resemblance to Zhou Haiyang.

He glanced at Big Sis Feng Li.

Big Sis Feng Li gave him a barely perceptible nod.

So it turns out that the usually carefree Big Sis Feng Li has such a thoughtful and meticulous side. He thought that Big Sis Feng Li would only ever hold a two-meter-long Pudao and stick it on people's foreheads to reason with them...

Li Yao turned his attention back to the documents and began to look through them.

The information shown in the document is similar to what Big Sis Feng Li had said before, except for many more details.

For example, the specific time of the abnormal attack, its duration, and subtle changes during the attack.

After reading through the documents, Li Yao pulled out the top document and closed the folder. "Mr. Zhou, please let me take a look at this man. I need to observe him closely."

Zhou Haiyang's thin, resolute face twitched, and after a pause, he turned to look at Li Yao: "Thank you."

Even the thank you was so stiff.

Li Yao smiled but said nothing.

At this moment, Li Yao even felt as if he had been assimilated by the way things were done within the system.

Everything was understood without words! They saw through it all but didn't say a word! Such a tacit Ya Pi! Zhou Haiyang took another step, circled around for a while, and then led Li Yao and the others to the cell where Zhou Lei was located.

Standing in front of the transparent glass of the cell, Zhou Haiyang operated the button panel outside the cell and said, "Zhou Lei, experts have been dispatched from above to help you. Please cooperate with the experts for examination."

Zhou Lei also noticed Li Yao and the others, and his voice came through the speaker. "I will."

After giving the instructions, Zhou Haiyang took a folding chair from a short distance away and placed it for Li Yao and the others. "You can begin now."

Li Yao didn't sit down or rush to ask questions. Instead, he leaned forward and observed carefully.

Zhou Lei's prison was different from that of the intruders, whose prisons were much more rudimentary, with some of their daily necessities embedded in the walls.

This place not only has soft chairs, tables, and beds, but also a television embedded in the wall.

Seeing Li Yao looking at those,

Zhou Haiyang explained, "All the prisons here take safety into consideration. Although the facilities here for the infected are more elaborate, none of the items inside contain metal. Even the television is embedded in the wall and is isolated by special building materials. If necessary, this place can be completely locked."

He thought Li Yao was inspecting detention measures and explained to avoid being misunderstood by Li Yao.

Li Yao waved his hand. "It's alright."

He focused his attention on Zhou Lei again. He was now wearing a pure white outfit that resembled a hospital gown, and his face looked much paler and more haggard than in the document he had just seen.

Seeing Li Yao looking at him, Zhou Lei took a deep breath and bravely looked back at Li Yao.

Li Yao saw fear, frustration, and—hope—in his eyes!

He laughed and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine."

After saying that,

Li Yao reached out and pressed his hand on the transparent glass. He tried to construct a spell model, but the spell effect was blocked.

The prison here uses special technology that can block the infiltration of psionic energy to a certain extent.

Casting spells through them will still have an effect, but it will be weakened.

Li Yao thought for a moment, then dismissed everyone. "Give me some space."

Once everyone had made way, Li Yao reached into his pocket and pulled out a bottle of prepared Magic Potion and a mithril pen. He began to draw and engrave Magic Array Inscriptions. One after another, profound and obscure magic runes emerged from Li Yao's pen. Soon, a strange array diagram with Seven-Pointed Star engraved inside a concentric circle appeared. The array diagram was covered with a large number of magic runes both inside and outside.

When the drawing is finished,

Li Yao then took out the corresponding magic stones from his pocket and filled them at the key points.

When Big Sis Feng Li and the others saw the huge array diagram with a diameter of more than three meters, they were a little stunned— Big Sis Feng Li knew about Li Yao teaching "Universal Runes".

The people at the Spiritual Research Academy are now spending all their time researching what effects different combinations of runes can produce!

That enthusiasm was even more fervent than when scientists went crazy searching for different elements after Mendeleev discovered the Periodic Table.

Who would have thought! Li Yao's side was able to pull off such a grand display of rune application?

Big Sis Feng Li immediately looked at Zhou Haiyang: "Keep it to yourself!"

Zhou Haiyang nodded solemnly, then looked at Zhou Lei: "Did you hear that?"

Zhou Lei nodded, looking completely bewildered...

What are all these?

However, there are many mysterious and amazing things in the Esper World.

Anyway, if you encounter something like this, just keep it to yourself.

Big Sis Feng Li her arms and sneered, "Not bad, little brother, you've even researched this much without saying a word?"

Or are they keeping it hidden and refusing to show it?

Li Yao snapped his fingers, and the array diagram on the ground immediately burst into flames, centered on the magic stone in the core area. An inexplicable aura spread out from it, enveloping even the prison where Zhou Lei was located.

Once the array on the ground has burned away, nothing will be left.

To the naked eye, it appears as if nothing has happened.

However, if one were to extend their mental senses, they would discover that the entire prison where Zhou Lei was located was surrounded by a psionic field with an extremely complex structure.

Big Sis Feng Li asked curiously, "What's this for?"

Li Yao replied, "It's just a barrier. Mr. Zhou, please remove the psionic shielding field covering the prison. With this barrier in place, there shouldn't be any problems."

Zhou Haiyang glanced at the cell, then at the invisible psionic field, and took out his walkie-talkie, speaking, "Command room, this is Zhou Haiyang, requesting the disarming of G Area Cell 63. Command code is..."

"... Instruction code confirmed, shielding field removed."

As a reply came through the walkie-talkie, the psionic shielding field that had enveloped Zhou Lei's cell instantly disappeared.

Looks like the Wallfacers's technique is pretty good!

Now Li Yao's spiritual perception and magical effects can directly reach Zhou Lei, while the problems on Zhou Lei's body will be blocked by the solutions Li Yao has cast, preventing them from affecting the outside world.

The reason he disregarded Big Sis Feng Li and the others was partly because Li Yao had already taught them the basic techniques of Universal Runes.

Then, they used some more complex and rounded methods to cover up the past.

On the other hand, the barrier contained multiple types of protective spells and general amplification spells. It was a type of spell that required practical application. Not only did it need array patterns to assist it, but it also required connecting the Magic Spirit Pool within the body to construct a spell model for activation. So even if they forcibly memorized it, it would be useless.

This is just like the techniques of a martial arts master...

What's the point of you just copying their gestures?

Without learning the mental techniques, how can you regulate your internal energy? Be careful not to suffer from qi deviation and demonic possession!

To achieve the level of skill Ouyang Feng possessed, even the most basic skills would be too lenient!

Li Yao cast several Divination Faction spells on himself.

Such as:

Arcane Eye, Secret Peering Demon Eye, Identification Analysis Technique, and so on.

Once these spells were applied to him, the world in Li Yao's eyes instantly became a dazzling spectacle! Faint, almost imperceptible psionic elements floated in the air, drifting gently with the winds within the mountain base. He saw different sealing auras enveloping the various cells on floor B5, and under his enhanced psionic vision, these auras emitted different types and colors of spiritual light.

If you stare at it for a long time,

The Demon Eye, enhanced by the analytical technique, even began to analyze the composition of those spiritual lights... A massive amount of information flooded into Li Yao's brain like a waterfall! Seeing Li Yao in Big Sis Feng Li called out, "Hey, what are you standing there for?"

Li Yao subconsciously looked towards Big Sis Feng Li...

That one look was terrible!

Under the multiple enhancements of his magical eyes, Li Yao saw the clothes on the people he saw fade rapidly, and a large amount of different information flooded into Li Yao's mind!

For example, what material are the clothes worn by Big Sis Feng Li made of?

Are there any special treatments? What are the properties of the specially treated materials, and what are their approximate performance characteristics?

Of course, none of that matters! The important thing is... why the hell did the clothes fade?!

Although Big Sis Feng Li's figure isn't as explosive as Chen Xi's, nor as perfect as Maeve's... her long legs and the excessively revealing... well, that's still pretty explosive! And!

She actually didn't wear the ominous sign! Unbelievable!

Li Yao immediately looked up at the sky... He felt a burning sensation in his nose! Big Sis Feng Li sensed something was wrong and was about to come over to check on him, after all, the twenty-odd people downstairs were counting on Li Yao...

How could Li Yao dare let her come over! He had been cultivating his character for so long that he had never even tasted the joys of human harmony. Hearing the commotion, he quickly turned his face away and waved his hand, saying, "Don't come any closer! Stay away from me, you hear me! Come any closer!"

Are you asking me to gouge my own eyes out or something?!

Big Sis Feng Li: "..."

What's going on? Why does it suddenly seem to dislike me?

Li Yao called out, "You, and all of you, get behind me and don't let me see you!"

Neither the man nor the woman looks good... The woman is pleasing to the eye but immoral, and the man... is an eyesore!

As for Zhou Lei...

Go ahead and watch!

Just pretend you're a doctor—there are male doctors in gynecology too!

The doctor said it well: In a doctor's eyes, there are only patients, not men and women! Yes! Boss Li is now Doctor Li!

Li Yao frantically worked on his own strategy. After Big Sis Feng Li and the others stood behind him, he looked at Zhou Lei. Gradually, everything about Zhou Lei faded away rapidly. Eventually, even his skin, flesh, bones, and blood vessels became clearly visible in Li Yao's vision.

Those structural elements are merely diluted, not eliminated.

They formed a complex yet crystal-clear three-dimensional image based on their different aura colors! Li Yao could even see several hidden injuries on Zhou Lei's body, which parts of his muscles were particularly strong, and the calluses on his bones that had already healed.

Zhou Lei is not old.

But judging from his condition, he still has "numerous medals" and is a very experienced veteran.

This is the first time Li Yao has used Magic Array Inscriptions to assist a fully activated Divination Faction —and it seems to be working quite well!

What I saw and heard was hundreds of times stronger than an MRI scan! After all,

No matter how advanced nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is, it cannot observe the flow of various energies within a living organism, let alone the Mind Body, spiritual body, or even the Spirit Body.

In Li Yao's eyes, the aura color representing spiritual power was like a flame dancing in Zhou Lei's mind, and that spiritual power outlined a blurry human figure along the nervous system that covered the whole body.

Among them, the Astral Body is like a purple veil adorned with starlight, enveloping the Spirit Body and connecting to the infinite void.

The Mind Body resides within the brain of the Spirit Body, and is one and the same as the Spirit Body in two aspects.

The physical structure outside of the Trisolarans is the human life form! After careful observation and comparison, Li Yao discovered that Zhou Lei was perfectly healthy!

No problem at all! First update, a 4K long chapter... The wind is quite cool tonight, I hope everyone enjoys reading.
