Delta: Who are you saying has suffered a loss of strength?
Chapter 404 Physical Examination
Phoenix Cry Club Medical Research Center.
The walls on both sides of the underground corridor are light gray, with an observation window every few meters, behind which is a testing room lit by soft white light.
Each room contains different types of medical equipment and testing instruments.
Xiaobai lay on a medical bed in one of the testing rooms, wearing a light blue hospital gown.
Her sleeves were rolled up to her forearms, revealing several thin cables attached to her arms, the other ends of which were connected to several instruments at the head of the bed.
Her silver hair was neatly piled up, and as the hospital bed swayed slightly, Xiaobai was slowly placed into a large medical instrument.
Outside the glass observation window, several people in white coats were standing.
The leader was Director Zhou, a man in his forties with some gray hair but neatly combed, and a pair of bright, piercing eyes.
He was holding a tablet computer, and the data on the screen was synchronized with the instruments on the other side of the observation window.
His gaze shifted back and forth between the tablet and the observation window, his expression somewhat serious.
A younger doctor was standing next to him, also looking at his notepad, occasionally exchanging a few words with Director Zhou in a low voice.
The door to the observation room was pushed open from the outside at that moment, immediately attracting the attention of the people inside.
Director Zhou looked up from the tablet screen and immediately took two steps forward to greet the person who came in.
Two men entered, one after the other. The one in front was Liu Yan, the chairman of Fengming Club.
Following behind him was Xiaobai's father, Mai Qiyao.
As soon as they entered the observation room, their eyes fell on the light blue figure behind the observation window.
When Director Zhou walked up to the two men, he gave a slight bow. "Chairman Liu, Chairman Mai, you've arrived."
Liu Yan nodded. "Director Zhou, how is the situation?" As he spoke, he glanced at the observation window, but quickly looked away.
Director Zhou stepped aside to allow the two leaders a clearer view of the testing room. "The initial testing is complete; only this last step remains."
After saying this, he quickly glanced at Mai Qiyao standing next to Liu Yan, then looked back at Liu Yan and lowered his voice, "It closely matches the cases of other patients."
Upon hearing this answer, Liu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He glanced at Mai Qiyao, who stood there without reacting, his gaze still fixed on the observation window.
Liu Yan looked away and asked again, "What level is Xiao Bai at now?"
Director Zhou's voice became more cautious, "Judging from the various indicators, it's almost in the late stage."
He didn't add anything after he finished speaking, as if giving the two leaders time to process the information.
The room was quiet for a few seconds, the low hum of the instruments filling the silence.
Liu Yan stood there in silence for a while, then turned to face Mai Qiyao.
"Qiyao, listen to my advice, don't let Xiaobai go to dangerous areas again. There's still a chance to salvage the situation." He reached out and gently patted Mai Qiyao's arm.
Mai Qiyao frowned as he stared at the silver-white head being slowly ejected from the instrument through the observation window, remaining silent for a long while.
As the last examination was completed, Xiaobai slowly sat up from the hospital bed, looking as if she had only had a routine CT scan.
"Given her condition, how many more times is she likely to lose control?" Mai Qiyao suddenly asked.
Director Zhou was visibly taken aback, and his gaze instinctively turned to Liu Yan for help.
Liu Yan blinked heavily as if to nod in agreement, and then Director Zhou slowly spoke, "Chairman Mai, this varies from person to person, and I cannot make a conclusion."
"But based on the experimental samples collected so far, there may only be two or three more experiments left."
When he finished saying the last number, it seemed as if he himself felt that the answer was too heavy. His lips moved as if he wanted to add some words of comfort, but in the end he didn't say them.
Drop, drop, drop...
Several electronic beeps sounded from inside the testing room, and the indicator light at the door changed from flashing to solid, indicating that the testing process had ended.
The door to the testing room slowly opened, and Xiaobai walked out of the room, still in her hospital gown.
She walked up to Liu Yan and Mai Qiyao. "Dad, Uncle Liu, you're here? Why did you come all the way here yourself?"
Liu Yan's face had already relaxed when Xiao Bai came out. He looked at Xiao Bai with a smile, "Your dad and I just finished our business, so we came to see you. How are you? Is anything bothering you?"
Xiao Bai shook her head. "No, I'm perfectly fine."
After a moment of silence, Mai Qiyao said, "Xiao Bai, the training program at the United Nations is about to begin. You should go there and train hard from now on."
"As for your 78 Club, you can delegate other matters to your subordinates. You'll be the chairman of a top club just like us from now on, so you need to delegate authority and stop trying to do everything yourself."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai curled his lips slightly and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Then I'll have to ask Uncle Liu to stop making things difficult for me in the future."
Liu Yan was taken aback for a moment by Xiao Bai's retort, then burst into laughter, "You kid, your mouth is just as sharp as your dad's!"
After laughing a few times, his expression turned serious. "What happened today was indeed my fault. It was completely unexpected. If I hadn't received your call, I wouldn't have believed that something like this could happen at my club."
He paused for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I will severely punish those agents who deliberately caused trouble."
He spoke his last sentence with a slightly heavier voice, and his gaze shifted from Xiao Bai to Mai Qiyao, as if giving Mai Qiyao a definite explanation.
He wasn't just saying that to novices.
Not only did those operators from the Phoenix Cry Club act without authorization, causing the mission to fail, but they also tried to frame the 78 Club in a subsequent meeting. Ultimately, these issues stem from problems with the management of the Phoenix Cry Club.
And this time, Xiaobai once again failed to evacuate.
If the agents sent by the Wind Cry Club hadn't acted against the plan and acted on their own, this wouldn't have happened, and Xiaobai wouldn't have failed to evacuate again.
That might prevent her "post-resurrection sequelae" from developing to a late stage.
