Chapter 28: Can’t Think of a Question

“Today’s difficulty is nothing like yesterday’s, you know. Prepare yourself!”

Zhang Heng was still wearing that same long robe, seated at the control console.

However, his face was a bit pale, and when he walked just now, he seemed a bit weak.

But these were not the points of Su Xuan’s focus.

Right now, his eyes were only on this Suppressor that was torturing him to the point of ecstasy and death.

Without another word, he put on the suit filled with data cables and leaped inside.

Zhang Heng gave a signal from below, and Su Xuan gestured back that he was ready.

“Bzzzz~”

The mechanical sound gradually rose as the walls slowly closed in on Su Xuan.

Zhang Heng looked at Su Xuan’s condition and once again pushed the pressure adjustment lever upwards.

Su Xuan’s progress had truly astonished him.

To be able to withstand Level 3 pressure in just one afternoon… he remembered that in their generation, the most monstrous genius had only managed to barely approach Level 2 pressure after a half-day of training.

‘He truly is Lieutenant General Su’s younger brother. They really are blood brothers. But why is Lieutenant General Su’s younger brother so beautiful? Could it be that Su Chen changed his gender in the archives to protect him? That doesn’t seem right either, it wouldn’t be that effective. I never thought that the brother of the man known as the cold God of the army would be so lovely…’

Sitting below, Zhang Heng kept a close eye on Su Xuan’s every move and the various data on the control console while his mind wandered.

The mechanical grooves madly extracted energons from the Energy Stone, creating energy pressure that crazily squeezed Su Xuan’s body, inside and out.

Every inch of his skin was intimately touched.

His tender white skin revealed a faint pink hue, and his long eyelashes glistened with moisture.

No one who saw this stunning beauty would ever imagine he was a boy, yet he was.

The energons in his body surged.

Information from the energon decomposition gathered in streams, finally converging in his brain, giving Su Xuan a subjective sensation.

Although he still couldn’t control the energons, he could clearly feel that sensation.

It was completely different from the feeling of driving energon decomposition through circulatory pathways before.

His entire body was now operating ceaselessly.

Seeing the numbers on the control console stabilize, Zhang Heng immediately knew that this guy, Su Xuan, could handle it again.
‘He can take more again, what a true monster…’

Zhang Heng pursed his lips.

‘If only I had this kind of talent back in the day.’

But thoughts were just thoughts.

Didn’t a guy with this kind of talent still have to listen to his orders?

Didn’t he still have to be trained by him?

Zhang Heng had once believed he wasn’t a lecherous person.

However, the reason he had given Su Xuan a chance the day before yesterday was largely due to his looks.

Rather than sitting bored in a classroom, why not watch a beauty to relax his mood?

In the past two days, Zhang Heng didn’t know how many times he had to suppress his urges, how much water he had to drink.
In the end, he relied on his tenacious willpower to resist his desires.

No matter what, this was his student.
Regardless of whether he was male or female, this kind of forbidden love was not something Zhang Heng could accept, and besides, he had a family.

Sensing the pressure in the chamber rise again, Su Xuan clenched his teeth tightly.
Every increase in pressure was a good opportunity to temper himself.

His heart beat wildly, his breathing quickened, and his blood circulated rapidly.
The excess heat produced by the decomposition made Su Xuan look even pinker, even more alluring.

The energons surged even more crazily as he sensed for that line of Controlling Energons, that transparent line.

Only when the pressure became greater could that line be pressed into showing a trace, allowing him to grasp the principles of Controlling Energons.

And so, step by step, the pressure was increased.

Two Energy Stones were quickly depleted, with the vast majority of the consumed energons being converted into energy to power the machine.

“This is really burning money!”

After saying this, Zhang Heng took out two more Energy Stones from his pocket.
Looking at these two stones, he sighed and replaced them.

Retired soldiers weren’t exactly overflowing with resources.

Ten-plus Energy Stones in five days was his limit.

However, there was no point in keeping these Energy Stones.

Retired soldiers could hardly return to the battlefield, so it was better to let the younger generation use them.

“What’s with Gao Chong today? He’s so fierce, like he’s on drugs or something.”

A middle-aged man with salt-and-pepper hair looked at Gao Chong gritting his teeth and holding on inside the Suppressor, finding it somewhat incredible.

He knew that in the past, although Gao Chong could withstand a certain amount of pressure, once he exceeded that limit, he would be unable to hold on and would pass out directly.

But now, the pressure had long since broken his limit, and he was still holding on.
It was truly unbelievable.

“You are mine… You are mine!”

Perhaps the pressure was too great, or perhaps his brain was protecting him, but Gao Chong seemed to be hallucinating.

He saw that peerless beauty, her graceful body wrapping around him, her long, slender, snow-white, manga-like legs stepping on him.

The source of all the pressure had transformed into something she created.

“Come… a little more intensely.”

Gao Chong revealed a dazed expression, actually withstanding the unbearable force.

And the middle-aged man at the control console saw his foolish look.

If not for the data display showing everything was normal, he would have really thought the kid had been broken.

“This is Su Xuan’s information. His family lives at Green Mountain Community, Building C, Unit 1, Apartment 505. He’s a third-year student at No. 5 High School, but recently he’s been training at the Jincheng Training Ground, so we just need to set up an ambush on the road between Jincheng and here.”

An ordinary-looking man whispered to several people next to him.

A companion asked, “Mhm, when do we make our move?”

The ordinary-looking man was silent for a long moment before uttering two words.

His companions looked at each other and nodded.

“All the clues are gone. The recent string of disappearances is just too strange. The victims are all youths between fifteen and eighteen, or in other words, high school students. They all disappeared at night, and the last place they were seen was mostly at school. High school students, mind you, not elementary or kindergarten kids. At this stage, they have a certain capacity for independent thought.”

“I don’t think this case can be an ordinary missing persons case. It’s very likely related to a heretical cult.”

“After the disappearance of the Black Energon Stone, a large number of high school students have gone missing. What for? It’s obvious, everyone. You all still remember what happened in Qingcheng, right?”

“…”

The conference room fell deathly silent.
Even though they had prepared for the worst, even though they had already considered that possibility, when someone actually said it out loud, the feeling was chilling.

The crowd was silent.

The director of the Investigation Bureau looked at everyone with a grave expression and said, “This time, the lives of a million people in White City are at stake. Everyone, as members of the Investigation Bureau, we must step up…”
