Shen Wei's encampment 11:AM

"You all did a stellar job at disguising yourselves. I'm grateful to you for coming upside to help me." Shen Wei was with his guards in his tent.

Tori spoke up "Hei Pao Shi, of course we want to protect you. But, please, I beg thee, do not ride off without telling us. We should have been with you. Please don't go alone anywhere. It causes us to worry and fret until you come back. Please tell us where you are at all times and you must take one of us with you. I beg thee. And... I want a hand phone to communicate with Major General's officers and coordinate our efforts. May I get one?"

"Who wants to have a handphone?" Wei asked, genuinely curious.

"I do," they all said.

Shen Wei considered it a fine idea, as long as they don't want him to have one. He would break it anyway.

"Okay, I can ask Lin Jing and Chu at SID to help you with them." The guards were too disciplined to say anything but as soon as Shen Wei left, they started whispering and giggling. Of course he had super hearing and heard them even a long way from them. He smiled.

Since he lived at the camp now, he found that Yunlan had installed a landline phone in his new tent, with the phone cable running across the compound from the outer wall. He'd ordered it when Shen Wei moved in, but the fire in his small hut ruined it. The new tent and landline had been installed when he was in the hospital.


He returned to his tent and sat down. Later he met with Tori, Hong Chen, Zhu Ting and Zheng Yi Cheng. There was tea and they ate almond cookies from Yunlan that were in the center of the table where they sat.

"We need to capture Yezun without hurting my twin inside

"We need to capture Yezun without hurting my twin inside. As we saw, he is more powerful than I and has much more power to kill. His followers, however, do not protect him, as you protect me. They are mindless minions brainwashed by him to take over the Haixing and Yashou people.

"You and I can use our powers to capture him. Perhaps we can plan a way to catch him using your talents. How about this? Tori could give visions to Yezun to confuse him, or scare him. Hong Chen, you and I may be able to hold him with our webs. Zhu Ting, maybe you can put him to sleep, Zheng Yi Cheng and I could give memories of Yezun and my past to reach my Twin, or Jin Dong could make me invisible while I pull out the ghost."

A fluffy black cat rubbed against Wei's legs as the guards left. When they were gone he said, "Yunlan isn't so conflicted about your relationship. He doesn't seem to be angry, just confused. He even thought about your secret, and didn't think it was so bad. He is ready to forgive you.

"He wants to look at the pictures again and I think you should let him. Maybe they will lead to some memory of something, although he has no memories left of you. I've heard that some people have leakage through the water of forgetfulness. Master always needs information to analyze a problem and make a decision. You could also show him your memory or a vision, those are your learned abilities, yes?" Da Qing added a condition.
