Fu Qi ran away due to the pressure.

In Ye Yao's view, it was a complete rout.

Unfortunately, the call came way too late.

Otherwise, Ye Yao could have continued to persecute him to see if he could get any attribute points.

The result was very disappointing.

The uncle didn't actually gain any attribute points; he just provided some entertainment value.

I feel she's not as good as my aunt.

outside world.

Fu Qi's figure had already appeared in the air.

He stood alongside a man who had been hovering in the air.

That phone call was made by Lou Wei.

Fu Qi regained his calm expression, as if his earlier emotional turmoil had been entirely fabricated.

"Since you called, I can help you with the pressure next time."

To say such shameful things in a calm tone.

If people unaware of the truth knew that the head of the countermeasures bureau was under such pressure, they would be quite shocked.

Fu Qi, of course, also had to save face.

There's no way I could embarrass myself in front of my brothers.

Lou Wei's response to this was simply four words.

"I don't need it."

His tone and attitude seemed to imply that if he had been in the other person's shoes, he wouldn't have been in such a sorry state.

Fu Qi's lips twitched slightly.

A long-dormant desire to challenge Lou Wei rekindled within him.

If, he meant if.

If we disregard martial ethics, could we kill Lou Wei before he even starts?

It seems like it's been a long time since the two of them sparred.

The last time they fought was before they were promoted to S-rank.

Having not displayed his formidable strength for so long, could it be that Lou Wei has already mistaken him for a mere district head?

You'd better not need it.

Fu Qi could only swallow his anger, his tone filled with gritted teeth.

This guy really put on a show for Lou Wei.

Once his mental strength breaks through 10,000 and he learns the Celestial Form, he will reclaim the title of "strongest" sooner or later. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

This is not impossible.

At least recently, Fu Qi could sense that his long-stagnant mental energy was slowly creeping upwards.

Perhaps I will be able to break the 10,000 limit in my lifetime.

Lou Wei is not the only one who can surpass humans.

Fu Qi then changed the subject.

Let's get back to Ye Yao.

This time he did not hide his emotions.

Given the special circumstances, any attempt to conceal information would reduce the accuracy of the intelligence sharing.

A mature bureau chief wouldn't try to save face in such a situation.

Fu Qi took a deep breath of the cold air.

It was as if he was trying to squeeze out the heavy pressure in his chest.

"Lou Wei, do you believe me or not, that 'conversation' just now was more exhausting than all the battles I've ever been in combined?"

Lou Wei's gaze remained fixed on the direction of the living room.

You can vaguely see Ye Yao taking the controller from Wu Mi, as if she's about to join the game.

Beautiful silver hair danced in the natural light.

He didn't look away, but simply gave a faint "hmm" as a response.

Fu Qi smiled bitterly, his fingers unconsciously rubbing together, as if he could still feel the sweat on his palms from just now.

"An 'uncle' who works at headquarters? Sounds like we've gotten closer, there will be many opportunities to communicate in the future, and I might even be able to directly influence her decisions through conversations..."

He paused, his tone revealing even deeper helplessness.

"But this pressure... it's like a tailor-made shackle."

Playing an ordinary logistics staff member is actually more challenging in terms of acting skills and composure than being the head of the Countermeasures Bureau.

It feels like I'm walking on a tightrope all the time.

She was afraid that a single wrong word might trigger her sensitive heart...

Or perhaps she sees through even more of it.

He recalled Ye Yao's vulnerable appearance just now, on the verge of tears, fearing the loss of her parents' love.

Fu Qi has figured it out.

Night Song is also an invisible master of applying pressure.

However, Night Child's pressure is an active skill.

Night Ballad's pressure is a passive skill.

This kind of pressure is completely different from the oppressive feeling of being bombarded head-on by Night Child.

Night Child's pressure is like a blade; it can be blocked and dismantled.

The pressure brought by night songs is like water, which can silently drown a person in guilt.

Those grown men are alright.

If it were someone like Xiao Jing, it would probably be very difficult for her to withstand it.

Speaking of Night Child.

"What chills me to the bone is her obsession with the Night Child, and..."

Fu Qi's gaze sharpened and became serious.

"The potential impact of the night child on her."

He reiterated Ye Yao's statement that he "felt he had seen quite a few S-class ability users."

Every word struck a nerve between the two of them.

"'Feeling' like you've seen this before? This is too strange, Lou Wei."

Lou Wei's gaze was equally solemn.

It has to be said that it is indeed bizarre.

Ye Yao, Luo Jianhua, and Mo Qiuli did indeed meet with people from Sequence Zero when they went out for a stroll.

They even ate at a late-night snack stall together.

However, Mu Luo and Gu Wenxin had not yet reached S-level at that time.

Not to mention giving Ye Yao the feeling of an S-class superhuman.

And Ye Yao's words just now couldn't be taken as a joke.

There's something fishy going on no matter how you look at it.

Fu Qi insisted on it.

"She could never have'seen' it!"

Fang Ze, Mu Xue, and even you and me, all kept our identities tightly concealed in front of her.

unless......"

Fu Qi's throat felt a little dry.

"Unless something 'flowed' over from Night Child's side."

This conjecture coiled around Fu Qi's mind like a cold, venomous snake.

"A sense of familiarity in perception, a strange 'feeling' about the existence of S-class beings..."

This doesn't seem like a figment of imagination.

I suspect that the connection between them is probably far greater than we initially imagined.

It's not as simple as just the Night Child being able to hear the Night Song's call unilaterally.

If... I mean if...

Fu Qi's tone lowered, filled with immense worry.

"Night Child's memories, or rather, the scenes, emotions, and even some key fragments of information she experienced, can be transmitted to Night Ballad under certain conditions..."

He paused, imagining the horrific scene.

"Once this happens, 'unnecessary' memories flood back..."

Our plans, the true identities of our relatives, the truth behind the adoption, and even the speculation about the 'incarnation of world-destroying superpowers'...

All these intelligence barriers and protective measures we have carefully built will collapse in an instant.

Fu Qi's voice trembled slightly, without him even realizing it.

"The consequences... would be unimaginable."

Is Ye Yao's current mental capacity able to withstand it?

How will she view us when she knows the truth?

How would they view the world then? I dare not think about it.

He exhaled heavily, as if trying to expel the heavy feeling of suffocation.

"Now I just hope that the 'feeling' of Night Ballad is really just an illusion."

It is a projection of her inner longing for the powerful image of Ye Tong.

Or even if it really was the Night Child who did it.

Fu Qi covered his face and sighed softly.

"Hopefully it was just a prank by Night Child on a whim, and not some phenomenon that we can't understand or control at all."

In other words, people with strong mental fortitude like Fu Qi can understand and cope with this pressure.

The more people know about the situation, the more they can feel how serious it is.

If it were someone like Xiao Deng, who lacked experience, Fu Qi wouldn't even bother to share the pressure.

To avoid collapsing on the spot.

But since it's Lou Wei, we have no choice but to drag him down ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ with us.

We've already shouldered so much pressure, this little bit won't make a difference.

Lou Wei, what do you think?
