Chapter 729 Shi Sijin's Doubts
Shi Sijin couldn't find Jiang Ci last night, and she didn't see him the next day either. She also couldn't contact him through the terminal.
At this point, he realized that something was wrong.
When they noticed that familiar faces like Luo Ziyu were absent during morning training and breakfast, while the other teams that did appear were all training extra hard.
Most importantly, after half of the robots in the cafeteria that made food were gone, he immediately realized something.
That is... Jiang Ci led a group of teams away from the base!
"Where did your boss go?" Shi Sijin blocked Zhuo Juntao, who was about to turn away when he saw him.
"Commander Shi." Zhuo Juntao, who had failed to escape, suddenly broke into a perfect smile on his previously stiff face and said, "Our boss has gone on a mission."
Usually, once this is said, fellow soldiers know that the topic should end.
Normally, Shi Sijin would indeed keep quiet and not ask.
However, at this moment, he did not believe for a second that Jiang Ci's departure was due to receiving a mission from above.
"Do you think I would believe that?" Shi Sijin's gaze suddenly turned cold.
His undisguised scrutinizing gaze locked onto Zhuo Juntao's eyes, and his psychic abilities began to stir.
"..." Feeling the oppressive feeling rushing towards him, Zhuo Juntao's perfect smile seemed to freeze, without the slightest fluctuation.
But the deep regret in his eyes kept churning.
I should have clung to the boss's leg last night and insisted on taking him with me. Then I wouldn't have to face Shi Sijin today.
He really didn't want to face the 2S-level mental pressure head-on!
After a moment of silence, Zhuo Juntao, seeing that Shi Sijin was on the verge of exploding, had no choice but to speak up: "Commander Shi, the boss said he can't tell you, so please don't make things difficult for me."
Shi Sijin looked at Zhuo Juntao with a dangerous glint in her eyes, as if she was wondering whether to use her psychic abilities to control him and ask him what she wanted to know.
"Commander Shi." Zhuo Juntao saw what he was about to do, his perfect smile instantly shattered, and he exclaimed in surprise.
He then said in a somewhat flustered manner, "You can't use your powers to control me. I'll tell the boss."
Shi Sijin didn't take it seriously. Let Jiang Ci tell him if he wants. Does he really think she's afraid of him?
I still need to settle accounts with him.
They dared to conceal what we found out before, and even left the base without a word last night. Humph, this won't be so easy to get away with!
"I'll also tell my sister-in-law," Zhuo Juntao quickly added, seeing that he hadn't given up on using his psychic abilities to control himself and tell the truth.
Shi Sijin's expression immediately froze, and she gave him a meaningful look.
It was only then that he realized that, apart from Zhuo Juntao being unusually calm, the rest of the Second Legion, who had been filled with sadness yesterday, were now training with increasing focus, as if the sorrow had vanished from them.
They all believed that Bai Mianmian would come back.
Seeing that he had a chance, Zhuo Juntao immediately added, "If my sister-in-law knew that you forced yourself on me, she would definitely be unhappy."
Upon hearing this, Shi Sijin, who had been hesitating about whether to use mind control on him, turned pale instantly and looked at him with disgust in her eyes.
Who tried to force themselves on him?!
Does he even know how to speak?!
"Shut up." Shi Sijin immediately stopped him when she saw that he was about to say something.
Zhuo Juntao immediately shut his mouth, looking at him with an innocent expression.
"Get lost!" Shi Sijin said irritably. However, after saying this, he immediately turned around and left, his steps so fast it was as if someone was chasing him.
"..." Zhuo Juntao watched him leave, unsure whether to be happy or speechless.
Didn't he tell me to get lost? How come he left even more decisively than I did?
However, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person walk away without looking back.
"Phew~ That scared me to death, thank goodness..." Zhuo Juntao suddenly stopped talking, looked around to make sure no one was there, and then turned and walked in another direction.
However, he did not notice that Shi Sijin was standing less than two meters away from him, watching him leave.
Shi Sijin was not invisible; rather, Zhuo Juntao was unable to "see" him at a conscious level.
This is one of Shi Sijin's psychokinetic manipulation abilities.
Shi Sijin still remembers the regulation that psychic abilities must not control active-duty military personnel without concrete evidence of criminal activity, and she is willing to abide by it.
So, the pose I struck was just to distract Zhuo Juntao so that I could use my mental abilities to interfere with him during that brief moment of eye contact.
His inability to see at this moment is the result of interference.
In fact, Zhuo Juntao was aware of the regulation that restricted people with psychic abilities, but he knew even better that if Shi Sijin wanted to, the regulation would be meaningless to him.
Otherwise, Shi Sijin's current military rank would not be lieutenant general.
After Zhuo Juntao had walked a distance, Shi Sijin immediately followed.
Zhuo Juntao, who was walking ahead, walked forward cautiously for a while. After confirming that there was nothing unusual, he immediately quickened his pace.
Shi Sijin followed him around for a while before finally seeing him stop in front of a door.
"Verification successful!" The defense system's intelligent voice sounded, and the tightly closed door in front of Zhuo Juntao opened.
Upon seeing this, Shi Sijin immediately dodged, her body almost touching Zhuo Juntao's back, and they passed through the gate one after the other.
The defense system instantly read Shi Sijin's identity information and, upon discovering that she was a person with the necessary permissions, did not sound an alarm.
"!" Zhuo Juntao, who had just stepped into the room, immediately sensed something was wrong. His expression changed drastically, and he launched a superpower attack while simultaneously flying away to the side.
Thick smoke instantly spread outwards from him, and Shi Sijin, who was closest to him, was immediately touched by the smoke.
At the same time, Zhuo Juntao also pinpointed the "enemy's" location, just as he was about to use the thick smoke to entangle the man.
"Lieutenant Zhuo, it's me." Shi Sijin didn't resist; he immediately called out, simultaneously dispelling the interference of his mental powers on Zhuo Juntao.
Seeing the "enemy" who had emerged from the smoke suddenly transform into Shi Sijin's appearance, Zhuo Juntao paused in his manipulation of his supernatural abilities, then looked at him with a speechless expression, "..."
"What are you doing here?" Shi Sijin asked preemptively.
"..." Zhuo Juntao was speechless for a moment.
That's the question he should be asking!
Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Juntao said nothing and continued walking inside.
"?" Shi Sijin was puzzled. What did he mean by that?
Following Zhuo Juntao ahead, Shi Sijin soon saw a group of people locked in a cell. Judging from their clothes, they were all from the Second Legion.
"Brother Tao." The people in the cell stood up in unison when they saw Zhuo Juntao, and each of their faces was filled with varying degrees of anxiety.
Shi Sijin was very confused by this scene, and her gaze couldn't help but sweep back and forth between Zhuo Juntao and those people's faces.
