Shen Xiaobai finally understood the Divine Strategy Institute's intentions!
The Divine Strategy Institute had recruited him and Yang Yao as new spirit guards for two main reasons.
On one hand, there were still hidden dangers within them. Keeping them in the military would make supervision easier, while allowing further confirmation of how greatly the illegal organization's experiments had affected them and whether they still remained loyal to the Southern Abyss Realm.
On the other hand, the decision-makers in the Divine Strategy Institute responsible for this matter did not wish to cut off their futures. Yet they could not risk sending them back to Xuanji Academy, so they simply gave them another path to advancement. Even if they had lost their student status and could no longer enter higher academies for further study like ordinary students, they could still earn promotions through war as spirit guards!
Though this was somewhat less than satisfactory for him and Yang Yao, they could barely accept it.
However, for Lin Ruixue and the others, they might not be so "fortunate"!
Shen Xiaobai did not know much about the other peers who had undergone the illegal organization's various experiments, but Lin Ruixue's mental state was extremely poor, and her brain had most likely suffered irreversible damage.
Even if treatment restored her to normal, the Divine Strategy Institute likely would not send her back to Xuanji Academy. After all, no one dared pound their chest and guarantee that her thoughts and will had not been twisted and remolded, or that she would not become a destabilizing factor in the Southern Abyss Realm after returning to normal life.
Therefore, Lin Ruixue would most likely be unable to live like an ordinary person. Forget completing her previous studies—she might even be imprisoned by institutions such as the Divine Strategy
