Chapter 811: Chapter 39: Night of the Storm’s Roar
“You can detoxify?!”
Lin Lin’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He instinctively wanted to question further… Then he suddenly rembered the consensus they had just reached, and his expression beca strange and subtle.
This was like digging a pit and then jumping into it himself.
“Alright, I won’t ask why.” Lin Lin took a deep breath, then seriously asked, “What I want to ask is, what do you need to prepare for your detoxification thod, and when can we start the earliest?”
“It can start at any ti.”
Gu Shen said, “My ability can remove ‘Spiritual Poison,’ but it requires contact one by one.”
“Your ability can remove Spiritual Poison, so… there’s not a single infected person in the second team,” Lin Lin whispered in realization, “Then let’s start now, there’s no ti to waste.”
“I need a secretive environnt,” Gu Shen said, “Before the defense battle at the Umbrella Line ends, I don’t want this matter to attract too much attention…”
“… Understood.”
Lin Lin understood Gu Shen’s aning.
He rubbed his forehead and spoke slowly, “Then how about arranging it in my attic? I will assign a reliable ‘Spiritual Transcendent’ to conduct hypnosis before entering the attic. You can perform ‘spiritual therapy,’ and I will help shield you from unnecessary troubles.”
“Alright.”
Gu Shen thought for a couple of seconds and nodded in agreent.
This conversation went exceptionally smoothly.
“You trust so much?” Lin Lin raised his eyebrows, looking at Gu Shen’s departing back, and asked, “The matters of ‘files’ and ‘detoxification’… are not small issues.”
Gu Shen chuckled.
He pointed to his forehead and said softly, “In a certain sense, I’m like you… When making major decisions, I trust my intuition more. My intuition tells that I can trust you.”
The study room returned to silence.
Lin Lin suddenly sighed lightly.
Since the outbreak of Spiritual Poison at Gu Castle, his schedule was filled densely, and many people overlooked one thing… The Fortress Guardian of this fortress was also a victim of “Spiritual Poison.”
Detoxification, how easy is it to talk about?
He locked himself in the study, handing over the command to Zhong Yuan… because he was worried he couldn’t overco this difficult hurdle with his willpower.
Now finally pulled through.
The poisons were cleared with spiritual power, but his mind was still exhausted, and Lin Lin could no longer rember how long it had been since he last rested… He sighed deeply, rubbing his forehead hard.
Hope the battle at the giant wall is not so urgent, at least can hold for a mont, allowing him to catch his breath a bit.
A night…
No, even having two hours would be good.
…
…
A mont later, Lin Lin regrouped, silently gazing at the unfinished fortress docunt on the table.
Aside from the storm encountered at the giant wall.
There is another matter, very important.
That is this docunt, which records every discovery of the maze tasks at Gu Castle Fortress, as well as the planning progress.
As the Fortress Guardian, Lin Lin personally writes the task files each ti.
This ti’s file includes questions raised by influential figures in Central City, who hope the military at Gu Castle Fortress can ascertain the true reason this team can achieve such an incredible escape…
This file will have so impact on Gu Castle Fortress’s future “discourse power.”
North Continent’s higher-ups aren’t fools either.
They also identified the “key figure” in this mission, Gu Shen.
In East Continent, Gu Shen’s na is already quite influential.
But in North Continent…
The rugged n of North Continent don’t care about what happened in East Continent, nor are they interested in what the young “hero” of East Continent looks like; few have heard of Gu Shen’s na, nor does he receive much attention.
Lin Lin leaned back in his chair, squinting his eyes, quietly reminiscing about the task filled with fog, contemplating how to pen the false docunt to be submitted to Central City.
Gu Shen…
This is an unusual fellow.
Clearly, he is a practitioner of “low-profileism,” a recluse who enjoys peace in the darkness more than being revered.
It can be seen from the outpost mission…
The second team could return safely, having countless connections with Gu Shen, and the team provided complete information about the maze exploration, but once leaving the maze, they knew nothing about the storm encounter.
The team most likely underwent “hypnosis.”
Only… the team leader is Yuan Yuan, a Fourth-order Transcendent; even if not Spiritual, his spiritual power reached the basic level of the fourth order.
Hypnotizing the entire team is simply impossible.
Lin Lin could see that Gu Shen’s “spiritual power” was strong, but still only at the third level, seventh tier, worlds apart from fourth order.
Hypnotizing Yuan Yuan, Gu Shen couldn’t achieve, unless…
Yuan Yuan gave up spiritual resistance?
As soon as this thought arose, Lin Lin suddenly understood the most illogical issue on the returning path of this team: if the whole team let go of spiritual resistance, willingly being “hypnotized,” then everything could be explained… forgetting the details of the return path was rely the “hypnotist” performing mory cleansing on the team.
This explanation is very reasonable, but it fails to address the subsequent question.
Even with group hypnosis, how did the team’s speed increase afterwards, and how did they resist the storm?
After pondering for a mont, Lin Lin wrote on the dossier.
