Aliens on Earth [Interstellar]

Chapter 125: Sands Mercenary Corps 05

As soon as Tang En finished speaking, Resende, who was sitting on the opposite sofa, suddenly became dangerous in his eyes.

　　A male who comes to visit his female partner specially, as a male, will feel uncomfortable in most cases. Most males will have a strong possessive desire for their females, and Rezende is no exception, or it should be said that it is even worse . But putting aside the narrow-mindedness caused by possessiveness, Tang En's request to see Ji Lin was full of suspicion.

　　Tang En and Ji Lin didn't know each other, and it was impossible for them to meet each other. Such a special visit seemed very abrupt. Moreover, the Jinsha mercenary group's task target is him, not Ji Lin. Visiting him is a normal procedure, but Tang En put aside him and asked to see Ji Lin. If there is no special reason behind this, Leisende will never believable.

　　[I need a reason. ]

　　[Give me a reason, so you let me see your partner? 】 Tang En met Leisende's unfriendly gaze, and leaned forward slightly.

　　[I want to hear the reason first. ]

　　[It means that I gave you a reason, but you may not let me see your partner. 】 Tang En narrowed his eyes slightly.

　　Resende didn't answer, an obvious acquiescence.

　　【Wouldn't it be a good deal for me? ]

　　[I'm not negotiating a deal with you. ]

　　[I can see that you are unilaterally setting a high-difficulty game level, but——] Dunn raised his head and looked behind Resende, in the direction of the small living room door, 【I think I probably don't need to participate in the game anymore , Young Marshal, your partner seems to have come out by himself. 】

　　Resende was taken aback for a moment, and turned his attention to the outside of the small living room. Sure enough, he heard Ji Lin's footsteps coming from the stairs. He was all focused on Tang En just now, and he didn't hear the slight footsteps immediately. This time is Ji Lin's nap time. According to the usual practice, there is still a little time before he wakes up. Lei Sende originally planned to ask why Tang En came to Ji Lin before Ji Lin woke up, but I don't want Ji Lin to wake up early today.

　　The small living room is on the left side of the stairs, very close to the stairs. Resende just stood up from the sofa and walked to the door. Before he had time to reach out to open the door, the door was led to the small living room by La Macao, opened first.

　　The Lamacao who helped Jilin find Leisende successfully rubbed against Jilin's calf to claim credit. Ji Lin praised them a few words, looked up at Resende, and was about to ask him what he was doing in the small living room, when he found that there were other people in there, besides the familiar Baiwei and Aris, there was also a strange The silver-haired young man looked at the Lama grass at Ji Lin's feet with great interest.

　　"Are there any guests?" Just as Ji Lin finished asking, Tang En had already shifted his gaze from La Macao to Ji Lin, and met Ji Lin who was looking at him curiously.

　　Tang En smiled slightly at Ji Lin, got up and walked towards Ji Lin. With Leisende around, Tang En couldn't get close, so he stood three steps away from Ji Lin, bowed slightly to Ji Lin, [I am Tang En, the head of the Jinsha Mercenary Corps, nice to meet you, beautiful female. 】

　　Ji Lin was chilled by Tang En's compliment, whether it was "beautiful" or "female", they all stepped on his thunder point. But the other party didn't have any malice, just a compliment. Ji Lin didn't like to lose his temper with these two awkward words. However, it was rare for Ji Lin to stabilize his expression, but La Macao exposed him. Feeling Ji Lin's emotions, Lamacao surrounded Tang En unpretentiously, as if the enemy would attack if there was any change.

　　Resende, who had always been at odds with Ji Lin's Lama grass, gave them approving looks for the first time.

　　[A group of little guys are so cute. ] Tang En looked down at the Lama grass that surrounded him, and praised in a sincere tone.

　　The six Lama grasses shook their leaves and straightened their main stems—they would not be bought by mere compliments!

　　Ji Lin hurriedly recalled Lama Cao, looked at Tang En with some embarrassment, 【I am Ji Lin, Leisende's partner, nice to meet you. That... I'll make tea for you...]

　　[Thank you, but don't bother, I'm actually here on a special trip to visit you, and I'd like to ask you for a little favor. 】Compared to Leisende, Tang En is very polite to Ji Lin, and his attitude can be said to be gentle and friendly.

　　【What exactly do you want to do? ] Lei Sende blocked Ji Lin behind him, and looked at Tang En with great displeasure.

　　[Don't be so nervous, I just want to ask Ji Lin to test the strength of his mental strength. 】Twain took out a cuboid about the size of a recording pen from his pocket. It has a dark gray metal surface and a small eye like a lens hole on the front. It is a portable mental power measuring instrument.

　　[What are you doing to measure Ji Lin's mental strength? 】 Resende frowned.

　　Ji Lin's mental strength, if there is an instrument, Leisende probably let Ji Lin test it long ago. This plays a very important role in rationally allocating mental power to use Lama grass, and establishing a spiritual connection with how many Lama grass plants. For Ji Lin, it is mainly the former. Ji Lin, who owns six first-generation Lama grasses, no longer needs to establish a spiritual connection with other Lama grasses. But Tang En came to Ji Lin for a test, and without knowing the reason, Leisende would not agree easily.

　　Tang En: [I just want to confirm one thing. If it is consistent with my conjecture, I might be able to tell you why Ji Lin came to Earth, and - what happened to his powerful spiritual power. 】

　　Resende hesitated, he didn't care about Ji Lin's background, but he was always worried about Ji Lin's mental strength. Moreover, Tang En seemed to know some answers that the instruments could not give.

　　[Yes, I will test. ] Ji Lin glanced at Leisende, then readily agreed, and reached out to take the measuring instrument that Tang En handed over.

　　【Ji Lin! 】Resende grabs Ji Lin's wrist holding the measuring instrument.

　　【Aren't you always worried about my mental strength? There is nothing wrong with checking. And I don't think Tang En should have any malicious intentions...] Ji Lin glanced at Tang En, although he looked back at Resende seriously, 【Your father entrusted him with the matter of finding you, which also shows that your father treats Tang En trust, so I don't think he'll do anything bad. ]

　　Tang En: [Ji Lin still thinks clearly, we haven't received the final payment for this mission yet! It is impossible to do things that are not conducive to the task object. ]

　　Resende: [The reason for the final payment can make you look a little more credible. 】

　　Tang En: [Marshal will be sad when he hears this. 】

　　Resende and Tang En returned to the sofa and sat down. Ji Lin took a measuring instrument and sat down beside Resende.

　　【You just take this instrument and inject spiritual power into it. ] Tang En said to Ji Lin who was fiddling with the instrument.

　　[Inject mental power into it? How to do this? ] Ji Lin is at a loss.

　　[Use imagination to let consciousness enter inside. ] Aris explained aloud that as a female, he is no stranger to the use of measuring instruments.

　　Ji Lin held the instrument and did as Aris asked.

　　Soon, the small lens-like hole at one end of the instrument lit up, and a data projection appeared in the sky. Next to the data page was a scale line. With the injection of Ji Lin's spiritual power, the red mark on the scale continued to rise, and at the same time The voice segment announcement will sound.

　　[Level E...Level D...Level A...Level S...beyond the numerical range and cannot be measured. 】

　　The red dot disappears at the top of the scale line, and then the scale line also fades away, and under the projection of a piece of data, there is an additional explanation.

　　[Sure enough...] Tang En stared at the data on the holographic projection, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

　　[Now can you say your reason? ] After Ji Lin returned the instrument to Tang En and the data projection disappeared, Lei Sende urged.

　　[For Ji Lin, I think this is probably not a pleasant content...] Tang En looked at Ji Lin.

　　[It's okay, just tell me. 】It's all here, if you avoid it, you will probably think wildly because of curiosity, so it's better to just listen here.

　　Lei Sende glanced at Ji Lin, but did not object to his decision, just took Ji Lin's hand and squeezed it slightly.

　　[From the projection data just now, I think you can also see that Ji Lin's mental strength is not innately possessed, right? Marshal Resende. 】

　　Resende nodded.

　　[About 30 years ago, that guy named Noput secretly launched an experiment to enhance the spiritual power of females. They selected female cubs with high mental strength as experimental subjects, obtained them by stealing and abducting, and conducted closed experiments on a remote planet called Canter in the Mandel star field to forcibly develop the brain power of female cubs. ]

　　[You want to say that Ji Lin is one of those female cubs who are experimental subjects? 】Resende said, 【I have heard of this incident, but the investigation results of the year were that the building complex used as the experimental base on the planet Kanter had a fusion explosion, and the original building complex turned into a deep pit. Everyone was killed, including Nopt. If Ji Lin was one of those experimental subjects, it would be impossible for him to survive...]

　　[What if the space distortion occurred first before the explosion? Then through the distorted space, you came to the earth, just like what you encountered...] Tang En stared at Resende and said slowly.

　　Lei Sende was startled, and then fell silent. In his heart, he didn't want Ji Lin to experience such a thing.

　　[In fact, there is an old technician in our regiment, and it is because of him that this mission was able to find the earth. It's a pity that when he was young, he hadn't worked out how to detect the direction of space traces from high latitudes. However, this is enough to prove that a space warping explosion occurred on the planet Kantor. 】

         Twain paused for a moment, then continued, 【That experiment can basically be said to be a death-defying experiment. What Nopt wants is not to increase the female mental power according to the limit, but also to increase the mental power level, not from E to D. level, and directly broke through the highest S, allowing females to successfully establish a spiritual connection with the second-generation Lama grass, and many female cubs died as a result. However, according to my investigation, after the explosion on Cantor planet, there were such rumors that the experiment was successful. 】

　　[The credibility of the rumors is not high, but with Ji Lin's current situation, it is basically certain that the rumors are mostly true. So who is rumored to have released it? In that kind of closed experimental base, in order to prevent news from leaking, only the core researchers can directly contact the experimental body, which shows that some core researchers survived, and it is likely to be Nopt. After all, he was the core figure in that experiment and was the most closely protected. ] Tang En said, 【I once received a commission to find and kill Nopt. It is just a waste of time to find someone who is not likely to be alive, but since it has been proved that Nopt may still be alive, it seems that I still have a chance to get that expensive commission. 】
