Chapter 66 Demon
After going to the bathroom, I came back to my phone and it was still vibrating in the dark. The "ding ding dong dong" notification sound never stopped for a second. It was so late at night that I thought it was haunted.

Ji Minghuan scratched his ears helplessly, ignoring the series of information bombardment from Su Zimai.

His fingertips extended from the restraints, and he fished out the phone beside his pillow. He swiped the screen a few times and turned on the Do Not Disturb mode. If it were Lan Arc, he might have blocked her directly; but this was his sister, and he didn't know what she would do when she got angry, so he really couldn't afford to offend her.

He lay on the bed speechlessly, not knowing why his sister suddenly went crazy.

Normally, Su Zimai would either remain silent or disappear for a month or two as if he were dead; but at this moment, it was as if his brain was stamped with the idea that "family members should love each other", and he was afraid of not being annoyed to death, as if he had developed bipolar disorder overnight.

Ji Minghuan closed his eyelids and turned his consciousness into Xia Pingzhou's body.

At this moment, the second machine "Xia Ping Zhou" also lay down in a hotel near Shiba Park in Minato Ward.

He remembered that he had just sold the event card "Twins on the Stage" to the system in exchange for a skill point.

So he called up Xia Pingzhou's character skill tree and took a look at the three skill branches.

[Branch 1 (Group): Recruiting Soldiers (Learned) → Soldier Training (Requires 1 Skill Point) → Unknown...]

[Branch 2 (Brave): Chess Evolution (Condition: This skill can only be learned after spending a total of 3 skill points in other branches) (Learning this skill requires 1 skill point) → Unknown → Unknown...]

[Branch Three (Soul): Demon Hunter (requires 1 skill point to learn) → Unknown → Unknown...]

The skills in the second branch need to meet certain conditions before they can be learned. If you can learn them, it is definitely the first choice, but I haven't unlocked the permissions yet;

The skills of the third branch are a bit useless. They are just disposable demon chess pieces that don't seem to be very useful. Besides, I may not have time to defeat the demons next time.

Therefore, if you want to improve your combat power, it is safest to focus on the first branch in a short period of time. Thinking of this, Ji Minghuan raised his hand and long pressed the skill text of "Soldier Training".

The text turned from dark to light, emitting a black and white light, lighting up his pupils.

[Consume 1 skill point to successfully learn the "Soldier Training" skill from the "Group" branch (which equips your soldiers with shields and enables the "Shield Grid" command during battle).]

[Tip: The next skill of the branch "Group" has been opened for learning.]

Ji Minghuan really wanted to test the soldiers right in the hotel, but the Black Iron Soldiers were heavy, not as slender as the Queen, and could even be described as clumsy. Calling them out would likely cause a commotion, so it would be better to test them in actual combat in a couple of days.

He closed the series of panels hanging before his eyes and zoomed the options bar into gear. He thought, "Dad's official rating is 'Near Disaster Grade'... I remember the stats measured with the restraints were A++ Strength, A Speed, and A Spirit."

"My best friend is a member of the Royal Court Team. That title sounds like the strongest team among the Stranger, but his attributes are similar to my father's. If this is 'quasi-disaster-level' data, then the 'disaster-level' above that is even more exaggerated. Every attribute is close to S-level, or even above S-level."

"So, putting aside for the moment the four strongest exorcists in China, namely the Lake Hunters, Rainbow Wing is indeed the most powerful organization in the world known to the public. After all, this organization has a total of 12 Calamity-level experts."

"Each of my character's mechas has its own skill tree system, and the skill mechanism can make up for the difference in stats... But even so, it would take at least one or two months to raise each mecha to disaster level."

"Hey... If I hadn't been given the ability inhibitor, wouldn't it be easy to create a character with initial stats of a natural disaster? But this is why I was given the inhibitor. How could they let me do that?"

Ji Minghuan put his arms behind his head and stared at the ceiling in a daze.

"My instructor seems to have said that he wants me to interact with the other children in the laboratory in the next two days... Putting aside whether it's true or not, what kind of monsters are the other children imprisoned in the laboratory? I wonder if this shabby place will become the final boss's concentration camp later."

Thinking of this, he slowly closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep amid the gentle hum of the air conditioner.

"Restricted psychic, number 1002 - 'Ji Minghuan', the instructor is visiting, quickly prepare for interrogation." Another similar voice woke him from the darkness.

Ji Minghuan opened his eyes and slowly turned his head to look. He saw a figure in a white coat walking in through the open metal door. He asked his instructor, "Didn't you say you'd let me meet the other children? Why don't I see anyone?" "They're still getting ready," the instructor said as he walked in.

Ji Minghuan straightened up from the bed, rubbing his dizzy head as he sarcastically said, "We do need to be prepared... The children you've locked up here are definitely not simple people. If we accidentally let them out, there will probably be fewer countries on Earth."

The instructor sat down at the table, put down the thermos, put his fingers together, and said with a smile, "To put it mildly, it's not just a few countries that will disappear, maybe half of humanity will disappear."

"You're quite honest." Ji Minghuan raised an eyebrow and continued, "Actually, I'm a little curious... Since you said Kong Youling is also a psychic, then what level does her psychic ability belong to in your system?"

The instructor replied, "She is the most promising psychic we know of. If she develops normally, she will at least be a quasi-catastrophic-level figure."

"What is the quasi-disaster level?"

Ji Minghuan asked knowingly, got off the bed and sat on the chair opposite his tutor.

The instructor patiently explained, "Below 'Restricted' is 'Catastrophe', below 'Catastrophe' is 'Quasi-Catastrophe', and below that are 'Dragon', 'Kui', 'Quasi-Catastrophe', and 'Harmless'. This is the rating sequence established by the United Nations."

"Are you from the United Nations?"

"No... there's no need to guess. If the time is right, we'll tell you who we are."

Ji Minghuan didn't take it seriously. He understood why his mentor had concealed the organization's name from him. He was a user with the ability to influence reality. If he ever broke free from his limitations, he might be able to completely erase the entire organization from history. It was even possible that before his mentor and the others realized what was happening, they would vanish completely from the world, like a name secretly erased from the history books.

In fact, he had already figured out the other party's background through his own investigation - "Salvation Society", which was most likely the name of the organization to which the laboratory belonged.

The instructor smiled and said, "Normally, we wouldn't accept a child like Kong Youling. But her ability set is very rare, making her a special case here."

"There's another reason... You want to use her to control me, so she becomes a 'special case'." Ji Minghuan said while tapping the table with his fingers casually.

"Rather than control, it's more about protection. The outside world is too dangerous for you. Not only that, your own power is also dangerous. If a child is left with too much power, it will easily lead to self-destruction. Therefore, we will protect you and guide you. This is what adults should do."

"Yes, yes, you're right." Ji Minghuan was too lazy to argue with him. "What about the other children here?"

"The children who are accepted here at least have the potential to grow into 'Natural Disaster Grade' in the future."

"So I am the most powerful one here?" Ji Minghuan asked, his tone like a child seeking recognition.

"Of course you are."

"Oh..." Ji Minghuan looked up at his instructor and took the opportunity to ask a series of questions: "Then why am I numbered as Restricted Psychic 1002? Who is numbered 1001? Are there other Restricted Psychics imprisoned in the laboratory? How many Restricted Psychics like me have appeared in the world?"

"Two in total." The instructor took a sip of tea. "The last restricted-level psychic was a hundred years ago, and he also sought our help at that time."

"Then your organization really has a long and rich history." Ji Minghuan knew that further questioning would be fruitless, so he changed the subject: "Tomorrow... which child here do you plan to let me meet?"

"The first child we intend to have you in contact with is called 'Firio'. He is very special... he possesses a physique that is 'half demon, half human'."

Ji Minghuan was stunned: "Half demon, half human?"

"That's right, a child born from the union of a human and a demon," the instructor said slowly. "It's called a 'demon' for short."
