The Imposters (Chapter 193)
Recently, They have been frequently venturing into the wilderness to complete missions, and it's been a long time since they lived in the safe zone. Suddenly hearing that organizations like Black Spring were carrying out terrorist attacks again, Ye Sheng was a bit stunned.
It feels like the matter of transformation potions was already a thing of the past.
She didn't expect it to still be ongoing.
Specifically, the transformation potions researched by the base have an extremely high fatality rate, but the side effects are minimal.
The bloodthirsty side effect only occurs after using the highest-grade transformation potions.
Those who use lower-grade potions and are lucky enough to awaken abilities don't experience this.
However, the transformation potions of organizations like the Black Spring Freemasonry turn people into strange half-beast creatures like cats and dogs.
They have already deviated from the human species.
While Ye Sheng was pondering these thoughts, the inspectors sent by the base acted swiftly, quickly inspecting most of the area, all with green lights. Not only did several teams breathe a sigh of relief, but so did the inspection office.
After all, they are just ordinary people. If they really encountered a Imposter, death would be inevitable.
Now, in the safe zone, those who use transformation potions from other organizations are called Imposters... Transformation potions also evolve over time, just like the Black Spring organization's potions, which have made new breakthroughs.
They can restore test subjects who have surpassed human limits to their original form.
Although the duration is short, it can still deceive others and allow them to sneak in and prey on humans.
This is why specific instruments are necessary for inspection!
However, just as both sides were feeling relieved, the detection instrument suddenly emitted a sharp alarm when it scanned Gu Luoyu, quickly turning from green to red.
This sudden change immediately put the inspectors on high alert. Their faces showed fear, their steps retreated repeatedly, and their bodies began to tremble.
They obviously didn't expect to actually encounter a Imposter.
Seeing this, Ye Sheng, standing beside Gu Luoyu, was helpless, wondering if the ability to devour the hearts of polluted creatures had triggered the alarm.
Gu Luoyu had always been by her side; there was no way she could have been impersonated.
The people from the convoy who had followed Gu Luoyu back had the same thought... Ahem, when they went deep into the wilderness before, they thought Gu Luoyu had angered the captain of the Esper Squad 1, leading to a fight.
In the end, it was just a test of skills.
Later, she even went out with Captain Han Lingyue to deal with polluted creatures...
Such a powerful Esper, and now they're saying she's a Imposter who used a transformation potion? What a joke!
Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it!
The initially panicked inspectors, upon seeing the indifferent expressions of others, quickly realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked others if they knew who Gu Luoyu was.
At the same time, they didn't forget to report through the communicator, asking the base to send specialized personnel.
Upon hearing that Gu Luoyu was an Esper and seeing the relevant documents she presented from the commission hall, the inspectors were also puzzled. The detection instrument had tested Espers before.
But nothing like today's situation had ever happened!
However, despite knowing Gu Luoyu's identity was special, for the safety of the base, they still detained her for a detailed inspection.
Others who passed the inspection could leave directly.
As her partner, Ye Sheng naturally stayed. She told Mo Lin and the others to return to the safe zone first, as there was no need to stay here... After everyone left, the two people and a Swan still sitting in the car continued to wait, with Gu Luoyu showing impatience towards the others.
“Xiao Sheng, they're so annoying!”
“It's fine, we're just going home to rest once we return to the safe zone, nothing much to do... The base being so thorough with inspections actually makes me feel safer. I don't want to encounter man-eating creatures on the street at any time.”
Ye Sheng comforted Gu Luoyu.
Her thoughts were indeed as she said; the base's safety measures would make living there more comfortable.
Otherwise, why wouldn't she just find a place to build a house in the wilderness?
She just didn't know how the base would treat Gu Luoyu!
What if they conducted various experiments... Thinking of this, Ye Sheng quickly grasped Gu Luoyu's hand and said solemnly, “Gu Luoyu, maybe we should just run away!”
The base has a history.
They like to capture people for experiments!
The thought of Gu Luoyu being targeted by the base immediately made Ye Sheng feel uneasy. She would rather live in the wilderness than let anything happen to Gu Luoyu!
As if knowing what Ye Sheng was thinking, Gu Luoyu soothingly patted her back with her other hand and explained, “It's fine, they can't do anything to me.”
Psychic abilities aren't just for show.
After her psychic power was polluted and turned black, she just gained a devouring ability and a significant boost in psychic power. It doesn't mean she can't use other psychic abilities.
With a little setup, they could pass safely.
In fact, it was just as Gu Luoyu said. When the base sent an Esper to handle the situation, upon encountering Gu Luoyu's psychic power, they were immediately hypnotized. They wrote something in their notebook and quickly let the two enter the safe zone.
When the open-top four-wheeled vehicle drove into the base, Ye Sheng was still a bit dazed.
Was it really that easy to resolve?
She had already imagined the two of them being wanted by the base, reenacting a classic fugitive scenario.
After coming to her senses, Ye Sheng was envious and secretly asked, “Ah Yu, I've already awakened my psychic power. Can you teach me how to use psychic abilities?”
In theory, having psychic power means you can use abilities... Although Ye Sheng's only skill, 'Space Bullet,' was obtained through a draw, it didn't restrict her from gaining others through different methods.
For example, having Gu Luoyu, an Esper, teach her might allow her to gain multiple skills!
Just thinking about it made her feel excited.
However, before Ye Sheng could continue dreaming, Gu Luoyu, who was driving on the street, glanced at her with a complex expression and said, “Probably not. After my investigation, you don't have a sea of consciousness.”
“???”
Every person who awakens as an Esper develops a special sea of consciousness within their body.
But the psychic power Ye Sheng awakened through the draw was strange.
When Gu Luoyu used her psychic ability to investigate, she couldn't find the source of Ye Sheng's psychic power.
It seemed to appear out of thin air.
Therefore, without a sea of consciousness, Ye Sheng couldn't use psychic abilities.
Hearing this bad news, Ye Sheng immediately pouted in frustration, thinking that the draw system was really a scam.
It seemed that in the future, she could only rely on draws to gain other skills.
However, if she faced setbacks in one area, she would make up for it in another.
Seeing that they were almost home, Ye Sheng, who was frustrated by not being able to take shortcuts, soon became excited again, thinking about the items she had previously drawn and starting to feel restless.
