From cannon fodder to sweeping across thousands of stars.

Chapter 784 Gummy Bears
The black hovercraft carrying Pru sped through the night, its outline blurred into a shadow under the evening lights.

Inside the car, two armed men stared at their 'package' seriously. Pru lay quietly on the seat, eyes closed, breathing evenly, it seemed that the anesthetic was taking effect.

"The target is safe and heading to the first transfer point."

The man in the passenger seat glanced back in the rearview mirror and reported in a low voice, then cut off the communication.

The hovercraft drove into an abandoned warehouse area and stopped in front of a gray building. Two armed men quickly got out of the car. One stood guard while the other carefully carried Pru out of the car.

"Change the car and set off within ten minutes." The leading man gave the order.

At this temporary point, they transfer Pru ​​to another camouflaged vehicle and continue on their way.

On the way, Pru's eyelids trembled slightly, but no one noticed this detail. When everyone thought she was unconscious due to the effect of the anesthetic, the little girl was taking the opportunity to observe and collect information.

After another transfer, the vehicle finally arrived at its final destination, a hidden residence in the suburbs of Vlagon IV Satellite City.

Although this place looks ordinary on the outside, it is actually a safe house of the special forces of the Renaissance Alliance. The walls have been specially treated to block most scanning signals.

The most important thing is that this place is very close to a nearby base of the Renaissance Alliance Army, and the regular army can provide timely support at critical moments.

Four armed men led Pru into the house, and one of them gently shook her shoulder: "Little girl, I know you are about to wake up."

Seeing that Pru didn't react but closed her eyes tightly, the man smiled and then picked her up, walked through several security doors, and came to a simply decorated room.

The room looked more like a guest room than a prison cell—there was a single bed, a chair, a small table, and even a window, albeit covered in tempered glass and metal bars.

"Put her on the bed," the captain instructed, "and remember to lock the door."

After Pru ​​was settled, a team member came in with a tray with a bottle of water, a simple meal, and a few chocolate chip cookies.

"Captain, are you sure you want to do this?" The team member put the tray on the table and asked in a low voice, "This is not in line with standard procedures."

"She's just a child, and she's pretending to be asleep."

The captain shook his head, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes: "Besides, we only need her father's cooperation, there is no need to abuse a little girl."

They exit the room and lock the door, and Pru remains asleep until the footsteps have completely faded.

In the monitoring room, two team members took turns staring at the monitor, and everything in the room was under their surveillance.

"This child slept for a really long time. Is the dosage not too excessive?" muttered a team member.

"Don't worry, it's a standard dose, and I'm totally pretending now. I actually woke up when I got off the bus just now~" another person replied, "For a 14-year-old girl, the effect should last about 4 hours. If you calculate the time, she woke up around this time."

"This child is quite alert."

"After all, she is the child of the person in charge of the other party's office in the Vlagang Galaxy. It is normal for her to be a little different from ordinary little girls."

Another half hour passed before Pru finally 'woke up'.

She first moved her fingers slightly, then slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times to adjust to the light.

Then she sat up suddenly, looking around panickily, fear and confusion appearing on her face.

Everything was so natural, without any trace of acting, just like a little girl who was more alert and precocious than her peers in an unfamiliar situation.

"Where is this?" she whispered to herself, her voice trembling.

Pru climbs out of bed and stumbles to the door, where she pushes and pulls on the handle, then finds it locked and knocks with just the right amount of force—eager without sounding too forceful.

“Is there anyone here? Please let me out!” she cried, her voice filled with fear. “My dad will give you money! Please!”

In the monitoring room, the two team members looked at each other.

"Looks like I can't keep pretending to sleep~" one person commented, "Do you think Videl will cooperate?"

"I guess no father would tolerate his daughter being kidnapped," another person replied.

Pru continues her performance, and when no one responds, she retreats back to the bed and curls up into a ball, beginning to sob quietly.

Tears slid down her cheeks and she kept wiping her wet eyes with her sleeves. Her performance was almost perfect - the slightly trembling shoulders, the intermittent sobs, and the deep sense of helplessness all revealed the reaction of a frightened little girl.

It has to be said that the 'psychic agent' training that Amber had received and the part about disguise performance in the 'Imperial Navy Spy' training summarized by Isabel still came in handy at this moment.

"I want to go home." Pru sobbed, looking up at the surveillance camera from time to time, her eyes full of pleading.

She remained in this state for about twenty minutes, then seemed tired of crying and began to look around the room with an uneasy look.

She saw the food and water on the table, hesitated for a moment, then walked over and drank a few sips of water, but did not touch the food.

"Maybe drugged," she said to herself, a reasonable guess that anyone in her situation would have.

Pru's behavior did indeed put the people in the monitoring room off guard. She looked like an ordinary, frightened 14-year-old girl, which was exactly what they expected.

"Poor kid, her alertness and precocity have frightened her even more," a team member shook his head and sighed, "but a mission is a mission."

Pru returned to the bed and continued to sob quietly but the intervals between sobs gradually lengthened, as if she gradually accepted the reality. She looked at the door and the camera vigilantly from time to time, showing just the right amount of fear and helplessness.

After a while, Pru lay back on the bed and seemed to be asleep, but in fact she had activated her 'psychic vision' and began to confirm the situation around her.

Developed by Ion Stormrage and Amber, the 'psychic vision' taught to these children can not only detect vital signs, but also detect circuits and energy flows.

This improved psionic skill also allows Pru to 'see' the circuits outside the room, the structures inside the walls, and even sense the presence of nearby guards.

Most importantly, she confirmed that there were no special devices targeting psychics in the room except for surveillance cameras.

Apparently, her true identity had not occurred to the kidnappers at all.

This is not surprising for the current revival alliance.

The Renaissance Alliance does not know much about psychics, and its research in this area is not as in-depth as that of the Federation and the Star Dragon Empire. After basically controlling the entire Federation, the work of those psychic research institutions has basically come to a standstill.

Obviously, due to information gap, Franklin and others have not yet realized that there is already a Level 7 Psychic in the human world, or the ignorance and arrogance of natural people make them not think that Psychics can control the human world. After all, in their view, no matter how powerful Psychics are, their proportion in human society is almost negligible.
"call"

After confirming that the power guarding her was very weak, Pru exhaled imperceptibly, with a slight curve at the corner of her mouth.

This little girl has always been full of strong subjective initiative. The moment she was kidnapped, she realized that perhaps relying on this "adventure" of hers, she could allow her adoptive father, the office, even the entire Atlas Group and that adult to take the initiative in the future.

For her first 'actual combat mission', the little girl gave herself some more time to prepare. After lying down for more than ten minutes, she slowly sat up and gently moved her wrists and ankles.

She speculated that her adoptive father should have received the kidnapping information and the security team must have already started taking action. It was time to take the next step.

Pru stood up suddenly, no longer concealing her movements, and walked towards the door under the increasingly surprised gazes of the two people in the monitoring room.

She raised her hand and sent out a psychic wave to figure out the mechanical structure of the door lock. It was just an ordinary electronic lock, which was not an obstacle for Pru.

At this moment, the two team members in the monitoring room had not yet realized what was happening. Although the images in the monitoring looked a bit weird, one of the team members still forced a smile and said, "Look, the little girl wants to go out, but unfortunately the door is made of titanium alloy, even for adults..."

The next second, his smile froze.

Pru placed her hand gently on the door lock. She did not use violence, but used delicate psychic control to directly interfere with the mechanical structure inside the lock core.

With a click, the door opened.

"What the hell?!"

The team members in the monitoring room stood up suddenly, staring at the screen in disbelief. One of them who reacted immediately grabbed the communicator: "Pay attention to the door! The cell door lock is broken! I repeat, the cell door lock is broken!"

But only harsh noise came from the communicator.

The pink bear hairpin on Pru's head was flickering slightly, interfering with the wireless communication equipment in the entire building. This seemingly decorative object was actually a specially made portable jammer, one of the gifts she received when she graduated from the "Psychic Training Class".

The little girl walked out of the room with a smile, her steps as light as if she was strolling on campus. Although the two armed guards in the corridor did not hear their companions' warnings, they had already noticed something unusual. They subconsciously raised their weapons and pointed them at the little girl.

"Stop! Don't move!" a guard shouted, with a hint of hesitation in his voice.

Pru ignored him and continued walking forward, still maintaining her innocent smile. The little girl's innocence was perfectly displayed under the influence of psychic power.

The guards looked at each other in bewilderment. They had been trained to know how to deal with armed enemies, but they had never been taught how to deal with a little girl who was walking towards them with a smile. This was illogical and even a little weird, and it made them subconsciously take a step back.

"I say again, stop!" The guard's tone was already filled with a hint of uneasiness, "Otherwise we will have to take action!"

Pru finally stopped and tilted her head to look at them, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

"Uncles, I want to know where this place is. Can you call my adoptive father? He must be very worried."

The sweet child's voice suddenly seemed extremely strange. The guards' expressions changed completely. They realized that the ghost-like situation before them was far more complicated than they had imagined.

But before they could react, Prue had already gently waved her hand, and an invisible psychic force instantly pushed the two people against the wall with just the right force - enough to temporarily incapacitate them, but not enough to cause serious damage.

Pru came to the fallen guard, calmly found his personal terminal, then lowered her head and concentrated on operating it.

After the footage of her knocking down the two men in an instant was transmitted back to the monitoring room, alarms immediately sounded throughout the building. Even if the Renaissance Alliance was slow to react in this regard, they would have discovered that Pru was a psychic.

This also made the remaining armed personnel no longer dare to underestimate the enemy. They formed a tactical formation and advanced into the corridor with heavy weapons.

"Remember, don't even think about making contact with her! And don't treat her as an ordinary girl! If she shows any abnormal behavior, suppress her with fire!"

The captain gave nervous orders on the makeshift laser communication channel. They originally thought it was just a simple mission to kidnap a child, but who knew they would suddenly have to deal with an unknown psychic.

"Captain, should we use lethal force directly?" a team member asked.

Hearing his question, the captain hesitated for a moment and then responded in the affirmative.

"Use intelligent non-lethal ammunition in the first round to try to capture. If that fails, use lethal force directly!"

"Yes, sir!"

When the team of armed men carefully walked around the corner, they saw Pru standing in the middle of the corridor, looking at them with her hands behind her back.

Cute children's clothing with "Gummy Bears" printed on it, and the innocent smile of a 14-year-old girl
There were also two armed guards lying unconscious on the ground.

This scene seemed weird no matter how you looked at it, and many team members even felt a little scared at this moment.

"Uncles~maybe aunts too?"

Pru suddenly spoke, her voice soft but surprisingly clear.

"I just want to know the exact location of this place, and then contact my adoptive father, Mr. Videl. If you can do me this favor, I promise not to bother you again."

The armed men with weapons in hand stopped and for a moment they didn't even know how to answer. The girl's attitude was too abnormal, as if she was the one in control of the situation.

After a moment, the captain, who was trying to regain the initiative, shouted: "Put down your weapons and surrender immediately! Otherwise we will take coercive measures!"

"Captain, she doesn't seem to have any weapon." A team member reminded in a low voice.

"Put your hands on your head and squat down! Surrender immediately! Otherwise we will take coercive measures!" The captain, whose facial expression changed several times, shouted again.

Pru sighed, as if she was helpless with the stubbornness of the adults. She gently raised her hand, and the lights in the entire corridor suddenly flickered, and then went out one by one, leaving only the emergency lights casting a faint red light.

When the environment fell into darkness, the night vision equipment on the armed personnel's tactical visor was automatically activated immediately, but when everyone could see the corridor again, they found that the girl had disappeared.

Then there was a series of tinkling sounds coming from far away, and the armed man at the front of the team felt as if his toes touched something.

He looked down subconsciously and saw that the two flash grenades were slowly stopping shaking.

"Fuck! Flashbang!"

"boom!"
