In bed.
"This? This is my cheat system?"
Looking at the light blue virtual panel that appeared before his eyes, Wang Zhong's expression froze. Immediately, his face broke into an unconcealable look of wild joy!
A cheat system!
One life-or-death crisis, exchanged for a cheat system!
How could Wang Zhong not feel excited and happy about such a fortunate event?
"Calm down! I need to be calm!"
Wang Zhong chanted silently in his heart a few times, then gritted his teeth and burrowed back into the covers.
After all, Wang Zhong hadn't forgotten his current environment and situation. The destruction of the museum would surely alert those [Psionic Plainclothes Officers], and they might even be staking out his hospital room…
Furthermore, Wang Zhong knew that these two [Primary Medical Monitoring Bracelets] on his wrists, besides their healing capabilities, also had the ability to monitor (eavesdrop on) patients.
An hour later.
Wang Zhong had been awake for an hour, but to his surprise, the door to his room couldn't be opened, and the doctors and nurses hadn't come to check on him. Even the [Psionic Plainclothes Officers] he had imagined hadn't appeared.
"What? What's going on?"
This strange situation immediately put Wang Zhong on alert. He had been hospitalized before, but he had never experienced a situation where a patient woke up from unconsciousness and no doctors or nurses came to see them.
Unless… some force was making these doctors and nurses abandon their professional ethics…
Psionic Plainclothes Officers!
Or perhaps those Psionic Warriors who were after the treasure?
[No, I need to find a way to know where I am!]
Sensing that something was wrong, Wang Zhong didn't show any abnormality on his face. Instead, he pulled the covers up and pretended to be asleep.
However, after Wang Zhong closed his eyes, his mind moved, and the light blue virtual panel appeared in his sea of consciousness. Finally, his gaze fell upon one of the [Cleric Abilities].
[Mechanical Communication LV1]!
At this moment, Wang Zhong could only place his hope in this [Cleric Ability · Mechanical Communication LV1].
"I hope the power of [Mechanical Communication LV1] is truly as I imagine…"
With this thought flashing through his mind, Wang Zhong focused all his attention on the light blue virtual panel!
[Mechanical Communication, Activate]!
"Rumble!"
As Wang Zhong used his mental power to choose to activate this [Cleric Ability · Mechanical Communication LV1], the attribute bar for [Mechanical Communication LV1] on the panel flickered, and a deep, light blue glow suddenly bloomed.
At the same time, Wang Zhong's head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy object. With a 'buzz,' a heavy roaring sound echoed throughout his consciousness.
Suddenly, Wang Zhong, who had been lying down, trembled violently. Immediately, a faint, ethereal blue glow flashed across his brow and then disappeared.
In an instant, Wang Zhong's mental power seemed to undergo a transformation. All of his mental power was amplified more than tenfold, causing it to uncontrollably spread outwards.
"Buzz buzz!"
A faint, ethereal blue mental wave, invisible to the naked eye, emanated from Wang Zhong's brow, spreading out in dense ripples towards the surroundings of the hospital room.
The monitoring computer in the room, the primary treatment equipment, the television, and even any electrical buttons on the walls of the room…
All these mechanical objects were enveloped by the mental waves released from Wang Zhong. In almost an instant, faint ethereal blue glows flashed on these mechanical creations.
In just a moment, all of Wang Zhong's consciousness enveloped the entire hospital room.
The functions, abilities, and even the "emotions" of all the mechanical creations within the room were clearly displayed in Wang Zhong's mind.
It was as clear as looking at the lines on one's palm.
"This? Is this the power of [Cleric Ability · Mechanical Communication LV1]?"
"It's truly magical!"
At this moment, a deep sense of shock surged through Wang Zhong's mind.
However, before Wang Zhong could fully process this surprise, a flood of chaotic information appeared in his mind the next second. He instinctively began to organize this chaotic information, and finally, he found what he was looking for!
A listening device!
A listening device implanted in the wound on his forehead!
And as Wang Zhong focused his attention on this listening device, two pieces of information appeared in his mind.
[Rattlesnake Eavesdropper, a primary mechanical device, capable of distinguishing various chaotic sounds and recording up to a week's worth of audio files.]
[Rattlesnake Eavesdropper, capable of eavesdropping on any information from the implantee, and conversely, eavesdropping on any information from the terminal.]
Under the covers.
"Counter-eavesdropping?"
"If that's the case, perhaps I can also obtain information!"
Thinking this, Wang Zhong poured most of his mental energy into the [Rattlesnake Eavesdropper] embedded in the wound on his forehead. Instantly, a cacophony of noise filled his ears.
[Detected the physical condition of Bait Number Two [Wang Zhong]; he is not asleep but hiding under the covers...]
[Detected the surveillance footage of Bait Number One [Chen Shui]; she is smashing the equipment in the hospital room, seemingly trying to escape.]
"Sir, how should we deal with Bait Number One?"
The first thing that reached Wang Zhong's ears was a male voice laced with curiosity.
Immediately after, a cold and refined male voice picked up the conversation: "Since this Bait Number One intends to leave, then let her go. We'll see if this Bait Number One is in league with those [Museum Thieves]."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zhong's pupils constricted sharply. Listening to this exchange, a terrible thought flashed through his mind instantly!
Bait!
Could it be? He and the other colleague were the bait to lure out those so-called [Treasure Thieves]?
But why were those people so certain that he and his colleague were bait?
Thinking this, Wang Zhong calmed himself, listening intently to the conversation of the mysterious individuals.
"Sir, Bait Number One has escaped the hospital room we specially prepared."
"Sir, Bait Number One has returned home. Furthermore, she is currently on the phone with the head of museum security. Their conversation is being synchronized..."
"Sir, we've detected the content of Bait Number One's conversation with the security chief. They have admitted to colluding with outsiders to steal several [Psionic Stones] from the museum... Should we proceed with the arrest?"
"Sir, Bait Number One has been killed by the security chief. Her vital signs have disappeared. Huh? That chief actually took advantage of the heat..."
"Sir, we have already issued the wanted notice for this criminal. So, how should we handle Bait Number Two? According to the testimonies of those two criminals and our investigation, this Bait Number Two should be an unknowing party."
