Chapter 142: End of the Reserves Camp! (Added for Alliance Hierarch Déjà Vu)_3
At this moment, he lay in a clean room, covered with white bedding, his body still connected to various devices detecting his vital signs.
The air was tinged with the faint smell of assorted medications, which led Lin Su to swiftly confirm that he was currently in the medical department.
The fact that these technological products used for detecting vital signs were functioning indicated that he was not within the border frontline area.
"Yo? You woke up just in time." Qin Nan's familiar voice emerged, and Lin Su quickly turned his head, soon seeing Qin Nan sitting on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, aimlessly flipping through a communicator, unaware of what he was looking at.
"Nan... How long have I been unconscious?" Lin Su couldn't help but ask.
"Three days," Qin Nan chuckled, "I woke up yesterday, kid you're not doing so great, huh!"
Lin Su: "..."
What does this have to do with doing great or not?!
Forget it, that's not the point.
"Nan, the person who intervened that day was the general commander of the twelve combat sequences, right?" Lin Su became anxious, "What happened afterward?"
"They didn't fight." Qin Nan's expression turned serious, with a touch of regret on her face, "They combined their forces to crush that claw, and then brought the two of us back to the border frontline. At that time, we had both passed out."
"I was too rash. I had no idea that using the three-dimensional Guardian Beast Co-operation would force the Dark Scalor to take direct action." Qin Nan helplessly rubbed her temples, "This has never happened before! Is it just my bad luck?"
"Nan, you can't blame yourself for this," Lin Su shook his head, "Without it, we both would have died at the hands of the Dark Crystal Beast."
"Fortunately, there were no casualties among our own powerful fighters," Qin Nan slightly shook her head, "The incident had quite an impact. The huge claw of the Dark Scalor was not just an energy form, but its actual body."
"The Dark Crystal Beast species isn't like other exotic beasts with flesh and blood bodies, so shattering one of its claws isn't a severe injury for the Dark Scalor. However, it will probably lay low for a while, reducing the pressure on the border line here, which counts as good news."
"But the bad news is, the shattered Dark Crystal fragments have spread throughout the Dark Demon Immortal Country. They will create a group of stronger exotic beasts in a few years since each piece of these Dark Crystals is equivalent to a sixth or seventh-level dark resource."
"I understand," Lin Su nodded slightly, his expression grave, "I will strive to enhance my strength and contribute to the frontline when the time comes."
"Thump!"
A knock landed on Lin Su's forehead.
"Are you dumb?" Qin Nan rolled her eyes, "Play to your strengths! You should focus on researching evolution pathways!"
Lin Su subconsciously rubbed his forehead, his expression becoming awkward, "I almost forgot I am a researcher."
"Let's not talk about that." Qin Nan glanced at Lin Su, "How does your body feel now? No issues, right?"
"No issues," Lin Su felt his condition and shook his head.
He was only affected by the remnants of the battle and a series of recent turbulence, which had ultimately led to vertigo.
However, his physique was from the Body Refining Realm.
Thus, upon waking, he had completely recovered.
"You've already passed the co-operative squadron assessment, so the advanced training camp has ended ahead of schedule." Qin Nan cleared her throat lightly, "This is the command headquarters of the second combat sequence. We can't leave just yet."
"Ah?" Lin Su blinked, "Why?"
"With such a big incident, how could the Alliance not inquire about the situation?" Qin Nan sighed deeply, her expression somewhat helpless, "Take those sensors off your hand, we're leaving now."
"Our routine inquiry is over, only yours is left. If all goes well today, we can return to District 11 tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Su steadied himself, removed the vital sign sensors from his hand, got out of bed, and followed closely behind Qin Nan wearing hospital attire.
...
"Official Researcher Lin Su, were you previously acquainted with the beast sect leader Han Wang?" In a quiet room, a young woman who smiled gently sat opposite Lin Su and asked softly.
"No," Lin Su shook his head without any hesitation.
"According to Qin Nan, when she found you, Han Wang and all of his guardian beasts were already dead." The young woman glanced at a screen beside her and continued with her questions, "Given your strength, you should have been unable to kill him. Could you explain what happened in between?"
Lin Su pressed his lips together, glancing at a creature beside him akin to a white specter, without facial features, except for a large mouth on the chest area.
A middle-tier monarch species with psychic powers, Truth Teller.
Invisible ripples constantly emanated from its body, reverberating across the silent room.
Truth Teller's Talented Skills, True Sound!
This was a lie detector more accurate and efficient than any technology.
Before entering the quiet room, all of Lin Su's guardian beasts were mandated to be summoned and not allowed inside the room, preventing them from using their abilities to affect the results of True Sound's tests.
Therefore, faced with this question, Lin Su could not lie.
Luckily, Qin Nan had told him on their way over what he should do at this time.
After a moment of silence, Lin Su spoke softly, "Sorry, the process involves my personal privacy, and I refuse to answer."
The young woman was not surprised, and she nodded slightly, "Due to your refusal to answer this question, we need to ask you a few additional questions. Apologies in advance if there is any offense."
"It's okay, please ask."
"Do you have any cooperation or mutual aid activities with the Immortal Country or the exotic beast sect?"
"No!"
"Have you engaged in any activities that could endanger the safety of the Yanhuang Alliance?"
"No!"
"Alright." The young woman smiled slightly, "The inquiry is over, Official Researcher Lin Su, thank you for your cooperation. In twenty-four hours, you will be authorized to leave the area of the second combat sequence."
"Okay." Lin Su stood up and quickly left the quiet room.
He had a very important task to attend to.
That was to check on Instructor Xing Yun.
Before, Lin Su could confirm that the Eight-Armed Rock Demon had been killed, but he couldn't be sure whether his teammates had been rescued in time. It was only during his chat with Qin Nan that he found out that the other team members had already been successfully evacuated and sent back to District 11.
Although Xing Yun was seriously injured, he had received timely treatment and had already recovered.
