Ji Feng glanced at Lin Muci, then lowered his voice.
"It's all because of that... that Lan Po brought back from the Land of Abandonment!"
"He's gone mad!"
Lin Muci was even more surprised.
"He's gone mad?"
"What does that mean."
"Didn't he test top-tier talent?"
"I mean... how could he possibly go mad?"
"He seemed like a normal, steady child..."
Ji Feng shook his head.
"I don't know. I haven't had much contact with him, only that the news from the military is that this child has gone mad and was taken away for investigation. And after he was taken away, people in the mecha academy started going mad one after another. I infer that this is very likely related to an undocumented virus."
Ji Feng continued.
"The military has taken that child, Lan Po, for investigation."
"But this undocumented virus could attack the central nervous system, causing people to attack their comrades indiscriminately, and even causing quite a few bloody incidents within the mecha academy."
"It's said that some people are still in critical condition and haven't woken up."
"That's why I told you not to go to the mecha academy."
"You're a female beast, why stir up trouble and court disaster?"
"I'm worried someone might take advantage of the chaos to harm you."
This matter was non-negotiable in Ji Feng's mind.
He would absolutely not let his precious daughter fall into a dangerous situation, which was why Ji Feng spoke so firmly. Lin Muci thought for a moment and then tried to suggest.
"I can choose not to go to the mecha academy."
"However—"
She paused slightly, then continued calmly.
"I want to see Lan Po and check on his current condition. Is that convenient?"
This was clearly an inconvenient matter. After all, Lan Po being taken away by the military meant it was not just a casual inquiry.
However, Ji Feng thought about it and could barely find a way.
"I can take you to the military. But he's currently being held in... held in a classified area of the military. If you want to see him, you'll need fingerprint unlock authorization."
"You'll need Artus's help."
"And... and Ling Kuang."
"Those two are at odds, so that door is practically impossible to open easily."
Lin Muci's eyes immediately lit up.
Artus and Ling Kuang's authorization was needed to open that door?
What a coincidence!
She smiled charmingly, a pure and beautiful smile curling at the corners of her lips, and immediately became full of confidence!
"Daddy can take me to the military now."
"I don't need to convince Ling Kuang, and as for Artus, I'm completely confident I can convince him."
...
When Ji Feng took Lin Muci to the military, Artus was already waiting outside the military building.
He had clearly not been having a good time recently, his brow furrowed. He looked up at Lin Muci and forced a smile, ruffling his messy hair. Ji Feng then spoke.
"Is everything alright?"
"I heard you haven't been to school lately... that's good, you've avoided a major upheaval."
"That Lan Po, we can only keep him locked up for now."
"I suspect the source of the virus that caused the entire mecha academy to be in turmoil originated from him!"
At this point, Ji Feng took a deep breath, a hint of deep anger in his eyes.
The virus brought by Lan Po had thrown the mecha academy into chaos, with many students going mad. Amidst the chaos, Lan Po had regained his senses and clarity, insisting that he had nothing to do with the insectoids.
But this was a time of extreme sensitivity.
If he couldn't produce evidence.
The high-ranking officials in the military might directly choose to execute him!
After all, although this boy possessed extremely high talent, he also carried a certain risk. More importantly, he came from the chaotic lands and had no background.
He could be discarded as a pawn without any hesitation.
And at the critical moment when the military was about to give up on Lan Po and directly execute him, Lin Muci arrived.
"I want to see him."
"Can you help open his lock?"
Lin Muci directly stated her request, and to no surprise, saw Artus's wide-eyed, disbelieving expression!
"What did you say?"
"You want to open Lan Po's lock? Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous he is... although we've scanned him eight hundred times with instruments and confirmed he has no other viruses, doing so is still extremely dangerous."
"And this violates military orders!"
Artus stared with wide eyes, then frantically rubbed his hair, his voice filled with anxiety and madness.
"Doing this will lead to no good outcome..."
"I don't want to end up in a military court..."
Lin Muci wasn't listening to this.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at him calmly.
"I believe... Ling Kuang will help me."
"Without a permit, he'll find a way. After all, he knows everything about the instruments used in your prisons."
"Artus, I need to see Lan Po because of the virus. And I know the situation on the central planet is currently unstable, with the insectoid crisis imminent. If you don't want the situation to spiral out of control, you need to let me take charge."
Artus stared blankly at the girl before him.
She was clearly a female beast...
But she exuded an incredibly powerful aura, even making one feel an urge to submit!
Artus took a deep breath, then murmured.
"You..."
He very much wanted to ask why she was so sure she could take charge, and why she was so sure she could bear the responsibility, but the words caught in his throat and he couldn't ask.
The girl looked at him with determination and said.
"I want the unlock code."
Artus ran his red hair through his hair, making it even messier, and finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"I'm going in with you!"
"I want to hear what you say to Lan Po. Otherwise, I will not agree!"
He had initially thought this girl would need to consider it further, but unexpectedly, she merely looked up at him and decisively agreed.
"Alright."
"Deal."
...
In the dark electronic confinement cell, Artus entered the password.
As Lin Muci pushed the door open, the sound of Ling Kuang's crisp punches and Artus's muffled groan came from behind her.
Artus had said he would go in with Lin Muci to the cell where Lan Po was held.
However, he was knocked unconscious by the arriving Ling Kuang with a single punch.
Ling Kuang didn't even glance at Artus, kicking him aside with his foot and saying.
"Make haste."
"You go in, I'll stand guard."
"If you're not out within ten minutes, the military will be alerted!"
Lin Muci nodded, calculating the time in her mind. She walked in, intending to use this precious time to talk with Lan Po.
