Chapter 685
The mentor had only joined the Institute five years ago and was unfamiliar with the name Sinai.
But the surname Lehngar was definitely not unknown to him.
It was one of the two most honourable surnames in the City of Worlds.
But what shocked the tutor was that it was the rank of “SS”.
The Institute also ranks people according to their contributions, inventions and intelligence.
Whoever is strong is ranked higher.
In the 600 years of the Institute’s history, no more than ten fellows have been ranked ss.
The portraits of these fellows are hanging in the outermost corridor.
Simon Grand is one of them, and he is the only one who has voluntarily asked to leave the World City.
In short, rated at SS level, he is an existence that can be equated with the Director of the Institute.
The deans of the two institutes were also somewhat inferior.
The tutor’s hand shook.
This picture was ten years ago.
At that time, Sinai Leingold had been the Institute’s most senior researcher.
And most importantly, she was only 16 years old.
The true scientific genius of the Lehngel family.
Biel Lehngel, of this generation of the family, was not even in the same league as Sinai.
Not only that, she had to call Sinai an aunt.
But Sinai disappeared not long after she was promoted to SS researcher.
The whole Institute went crazy looking for her, especially Dean Norman.
He made several trips to the Leingold family himself, but he could not find any news.
The Leingold family claimed that the fifth young lady, Sinai, had gone out to play and they were not sure where she had gone.
Dean Norman, however, did not believe it.
But he never found Sinai, and only occasionally received new inventions from Sinai.
This was his most prized disciple, and it had just disappeared.
Dean Norman looked at his mentor, his voice slowing, “Tell me again, do you want to arrest her now and send her to your genetic lab?”
“I dare not!” Cold sweat broke out on the mentor’s forehead as he handed the phone back to Dean Norman and stepped back respectfully, “How dare we do anything with the person Miss Sinai sent in.”
If it was only
this was an SS-rank researcher, how could they dare to go against Sinai?
The mentor went back in a cold sweat, his legs going weak.
How could he have ever imagined that a junior cadet would be sponsored in by an ss-rank researcher?
Dean Norman also ignored him again and hurried off to the dormitory building.
**
In the dormitory, Ying was talking to Xiu.
The door was snapped shut at that moment.
She pressed the mute button and went to open the door.
“Ying, right? I’m the Dean of the School of Mechanics and Aeronautics, you can call me Norman.” Dean Norman got straight to the point, “I know you were sponsored in by Sinai, can you tell me where exactly she is now?”
Ying Zigui looked slightly paused.
Sinai had said that the person who had given her the medicine had never been found.
She had pretended to be missing because she was also afraid that these people would hurt someone close to her.
Ying Zidian was 80% sure that the person who had given Sinai the medicine was also affiliated with the black skeleton to stop it.
“I’m sorry.” In the end, Ying Ziyi still didn’t tell the truth, “I haven’t seen her either, when I communicated online, she was the one who took the initiative to contact me.”
The light in the old man’s eyes faded out and his hand fell, “If …… you see her, make sure you give her the word, we’re all waiting for her.”
Ying was silent for a moment: “I will.”
“I won’t bother you.” Dean Norman smiled, “Don’t worry, those trainees from the Biogenetic Institute won’t come after you again.”
He turned around and exited, his back paling for a moment.
Ying watched the old man leave before closing the door and picking up the phone again, “Go on.”
“Where was I? Oh, yes.” Xiu thought for a moment and grumbled in a rare moment, “What a pain in the a*s, I’m not a combat type sage.”
While inputting the information Xiu had given her into the computer and pa*sing it on to Fu Yunshen, Ying asked, “Combat type?”
“Well, you know my special ability, absolute concealment, which is not at all close to combat.” Xiu said, “Of course, even if I’m not a combat type sage, those super warriors who have been modified by the Institute’s Biogenetic Institute I can still KO with one punch.”
Ying Ziyi had learned about the force value of super warriors.
An ss-rated super warrior had a force value that could be compared to an ancient martial artist with three hundred years of cultivation, and was also the maximum that genetic modification could achieve.
To enter the Four Horsemen, the rating must be at least B.
A b-ranked super warrior is not yet an ancient martial artist.
Xiu wasn’t even a combat-oriented sage, yet he could easily kill an ancient martial artist with three hundred years of cultivation.
How strong must a Combat Sage be then?
Ying Zidian’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: “Then who is a Combat Sage?”
“Power is. Listen to his sage seal, he must be very powerful, right? Chariots and towers too.” Hugh said, “Oh yeah, and the demon, the sage demon is definitely number one in combat.”
“If he strikes, the power and the chariot combined can’t stop him.”
Hugh went on to explain the abilities of the various sages, half-heartedly waiting for a voice to come through the microphone and wondering a little, “What were you thinking?”
“You’re wasted.”
“……”
Hugh was choked: “Sages also have their own duties, what kind of person is all-powerful? I’m telling you the Pope is even more useless than me, his special ability is absolute intimidation.”
“What can it do but scare people?”
Ying yawned, “If it’s absolute oppression, it can break someone’s spirit in an instant, so how is it ruined?”
Xiu: “…… Well, I’m the most crippled, I make someone collapse and I have to kick him after stealth.”
Ying did not want to talk nonsense with this hair-dyeing sage: “Hang up.”
She hung up the phone and sorted out her gold and silver needles.
Lady Su Wen had been dormant for almost twenty years, and she wondered if the Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate were of any use.
**
The following day.
A red sports car was parked behind the dormitory building.
It was the same model as the one Xiu had bought.
Yu Xuesheng lowered the car window and smiled slightly: “Miss Ying.”
In the back seat sat a woman, none other than Sinai, who had recovered her body.
She opened the car door and beckoned, “Ying, come up.”
Ying Ziji got into the car and looked at Sinai: “I don’t dare to recognise you.”
There was a big difference between her and a six year old.
“That’s why not many people in this family know I’ve gotten smaller.” Sinai nodded slightly, wrinkling her nose, “I saw the email Dean Norman sent me, what’s going on, someone from the Genetic Institute coming after you?”
“Small matter.” Ying didn’t care, “I read on the paper that you took physics, why do you still hate physics?”
Sinai raised her eyes sleepily: “Because when I was studying physics, my hair fell out the fastest.”
Ying Zigui: “……”
Sinai grabbed a handful of her hair, the sunlight jumped on her platinum blonde hair.
She was disinterested, “Look, it used to be at least twice as much.”
“Since I started studying physics, I’ve been losing a hundred strands a day, and I’ve lost more than I have left.”
But as it happens, in every field she studies, physics is a necessary foundation.
But she just hated physics.
How could there be a subject like physics that made people lose their hair.
Ying Ziji propped her head up, her eyes slightly staring, “That medicine has indeed damaged your body a lot.”
It was already against natural theorems for the body to be forced to rejuvenate.
In particular, it had also destroyed Sinai’s nerves, causing her to change even her personality drastically.
“It doesn’t matter.” Sinai said indifferently, “I’m alive now to do three things, find my elder brother, save my sister-in-law and make sure my niece is still alive.”
She had searched for ten years and had shaken inside.
After all, she had only received an anonymous message.
The anonymous message said that Su Man’s child had not died, but had been secretly sent to O Chau.
But the years pa*sed and the person who sent her the anonymous message never appeared again.
It is also true that a dead baby is buried in the Hongs’ graveyard in the back of the hill.
Sinai had to suspect a hoax.
“Swish…”
Two hours later, the car landed slowly and pulled up at the entrance to the Manor Castle.
The family that represented absolute power in the City of Worlds, the General Administration of the Leingold Family.
At the same time, another limousine descended from the air traffic track and followed behind.
“Sister Bea, whose car dares to stop in front of you?” Sky Smoke was the first to get out of the car and pulled open the door for Bea, “Who in your family is so ungrateful?”
This w new sports car online was the one that young people liked, and the elders basically wouldn’t drive it.
Sky Smoke had been on fire for two days and two nights.
She had asked the senior trainees of the Biogenetic Institute to take Ying Zidian and Bing Lan away for experiments, both unsuccessful, and always held her anger in her heart.
So what if Ying Zidian could fight?
She was still a lowly civilian who didn’t even have the right to know where the Leingold family was.
There was no way to compete with her in terms of scientific research either.
Bea came down on her high Martin boots, and the maids on the side had laid a special carpet for her.
She took off her sungla*ses and looked over to where Sky Smoke was pointing.
The door of the sports car opened and Ying Ziyi put on her hat and stepped down.
Sinai followed her and turned her head.
Chapter 686
Bea is twenty-two years old.
When she was twelve years old, Sinai had been given some kind of alchemical drug that turned her into a six year old child.
But when Sinai was around, all eyes that followed and admired would only fall on Sinai.
A gifted scientist.
In the thousands of years since the Reingel family was founded, there had only been one Sinai.
Biel had grown up in Sinai’s light.
The phrase she heard most often was how great her aunt was.
It wasn’t until Sinai disappeared for no apparent reason ten years ago that Bea only felt that the force weighing her down was gone.
By now, it seemed that everyone had forgotten about Sinai, including everyone up and down the Institute.
She was the one who had inherited the name of genius, and she was also the youngest researcher.
Bea was not aware of the matter of Sinai’s body shrinking, but was impressed by Sinai’s looks.
In particular, Sinai was different from the other members of her family, with her white hair colour.
Right now she suddenly saw her aunt, who had been missing for ten years, and froze violently, her body stiffening for a moment.
“Hey, I say, you guys, do you know that there is a strict hierarchy and strict respect here?” Sky Smoke wrapped her arms around her and gave the three of them a rather contemptuous glance, “Miss Bi’er is here, and you still dare to go in first?”
Ying Zidian had changed her appearance and Heavenly Smoke didn’t recognise her at all.
Sinai she vaguely felt some resemblance to Bi’er, thinking which member of the Lehngar family she was.
But Biel was the first genius of the younger generation, able to write and fight, and had even been summoned by a sage.
How could any other member be higher than Biel?
“Strict hierarchy and strict respect?” Sinai smiled, but his gaze was light, “I think so too.”
“Then why don’t you hurry up and move your car?” Sky Smoke snorted coldly, “Do you know that the money you can have to buy a car is all because of Miss Biel’s scientific research?”
Sinai stood still with his pockets in his pocket and didn’t move.
While Biel finally slowed down, she walked forward, bent down and gave a salute to the woman, “Aunt, I almost didn’t recognize you, please forgive me for being rude.”
Instantly, Tian Yan’s mind buzzed, like a sledgehammer coming down on her head, shaking her eardrums.
What had she heard?
Aunt …… Aunt?
What a joke.
“Growing up, not so good at making friends.” Sinai swept a faint glance at Sky Smoke whose body was stiffening, “I heard Dean Norman say that she also led the bullying of junior cadets?”
“Not having the life of an S-rank, but having the disease of an S-rank, quite arrogant.”
With a single word, Sky Smoke’s body went cold.
Her legs went weak and she fell to her knees with a thud, her expression panicked, “Miss Sinai, I didn’t mean to do that, absolutely not.”
How could Sinai know what had happened at the Institute?
How could she have stirred up Dean Norman when she was only a junior student?
However, Bea knew exactly how much Dean Norman thought of Sinai, and she made an immediate decision, “Kick this person out, and don’t set foot in our family’s domain in the future.”
“Yes!”
Two guards stepped forward and set Sky Smoke on her feet.
Tian Yan panicked even more: “Sister Bi’er! Miss Sinai!”
However, the guards did not give her time to struggle and threw her directly outside the domain.
“Aunt, it was my mistake in making friends.” Bi’er’s gaze moved to Yu Xuesheng and Ying Zigui, “These two are?”
“It’s not for you to ask.” Sinai faded, “Mind your own business.”
Bi’er’s body was fixed in place.
She pursed her lips, her eyes obscure, “Yes, Auntie.”
Bea glanced at the girl in the baseball cap and an inexplicable sense of familiarity crossed her mind.
Strange.
How could it feel like that.
The manor house.
Sinai had returned once yesterday afternoon, and the servants had lost their earlier astonishment.
The Third Lady had barely been able to calm down, too.
She didn’t know exactly what method Sinai had used to recover her body, but it was none of her business.
As long as Su Wen didn’t wake up, there was no real power in Sinai’s hands either.
“Mr Yu, it’s been a long time.” The Third Madam greeted her with a smile, “It was our Fifth Miss who didn’t know any better and had to invite you to the World City.”
“Third Madam is polite.” Yu Xue Sheng didn’t move and avoided it, “Fifth Miss, let’s go.”
The Third Madam’s face turned blue and she could only watch the three people go inside.
She sat outside with Mo Qian.
Third Madam’s heart was anxious, “What if they really let Su Man wake up?”
“What to do?” Mo Qian took a drag from his cigarette, quite strange, “What are you laughing at, even the Sages have not been saved, two hypnotists from the seven continents and four oceans can?”
“You and I both know what Su Man’s heart condition is, it’s nothing but big brother and her dead child, but twenty years have pa*sed, big brother hasn’t returned, her child is dead, who can save her from waking up?”
Hearing this, the Third Lady calmed down.
Not bad.
Su Man would definitely not wake up.
The medical room.
Around the ice bed were all kinds of medical instruments with dense data on them.
This was the first time that Ying Ziji had seen the famous Lady Su Man in person.
The woman was lying quietly in the ice bed, her face was no different from twenty years ago.
She might not be so beautiful that she could overwhelm the world, but her aura was incomparable.
With her eyelashes lowered, Ying sat down in front of the ice bed and took out the long box containing the gold and silver needles.
She had just opened it.
“Stop!” The doctor hurriedly came from the adjacent office with a stern look, “What are you doing?”
Ying Zidian’s voice was steady, “Acupuncture.”
“Acupuncture?” The doctor laughed in exasperation, “You can’t do acupuncture, are you hypnotists, or Chinese medicine practitioners?”
“Both.” Sinai frowned, “Why can’t you get acupuncture?”
“Sorry.” The doctor still refused, polite and detached, “We would never allow an outsider, to administer such a backward medical treatment as acupuncture to the First Lady.”
What age is it that acupuncture is still used?
It was something that had been eliminated from the World City hundreds of years ago.
Right now, technology had advanced and intelligent ai’s were already able to replace a lot of human work.
In a little while, it was estimated that the Four Horsemen could all be eliminated and replaced with robots.
So there was no such profession as a hypnotist in World City.
The doctor didn’t think of reasoning with an a*sistant either, she turned her head: “Mr. Yu, not to mention this needle, even if Madam Su Wen drops a hair down and someone touches her shoulder, the chip and instruments will transmit all the data to the Sage House.”
“By then, if the First Lady wakes up, fine, but if she doesn’t -” her sharp eyes looked the two of them up and down, “you will be captured by the Knights of the House of Magi and executed immediately. .”
Sinai wrapped her arms around her, her eyes cold: “How do you know you won’t wake up if you don’t even try?”
“Miss Sinai, the risk a*sessment protocol for the acupuncture treatment shows a danger index of 99.9%.” The doctor tapped in the void and soon a hovering 3d screen appeared, “You’ve been at the Institute for so long, you must know the instruments can’t be wrong.”
On it was a list of all the possibilities after Su Wen had undergone acupuncture.
Death on the spot 50%
Permanent coma 20%
Stable and unchanged 15%
Slightly improved 5%
……
Chance of waking up, only 0.1%
Sinai wrinkled his brow.
The doctor’s words were right.
It wasn’t up to them to decide.
The Third Lady didn’t dare to touch Su Wen because the House of Magi was there.
She believed in Ying Zigui, but the rest of the House of Magi and the Leingold family did not.
Who would trust a person who had just arrived in the World City?
“It’s not necessary.” Ying Zidian put the golden needle down, “It’s not necessary for now.”
The doctor dropped her guard then, “Good, I will disarm the defence system for now, as long as you do not cause any harm to the First Lady.”
She pressed the button and the protection on the ice bed was instantly withdrawn.
Ying Ziji raised her hand and rested it on Su Wen’s wrist, her fingers moving slightly.
The woman’s body was icy.
A dozen seconds later, Ying Zigui lowered her hand.
Sinai’s expression tightened: “How is it?”
“She still has the will to live, but she doesn’t want to wake up.” Ying Zidian nodded, “In simple terms, it means that she has constructed a beautiful dream for herself, a dream that is better than reality, so she has no need to wake up.”
“In psychology, we call it ‘escapism’.” Yu Xuesheng echoed, “It’s human nature to tend to avoid harm, and that was the diagnosis I gave a few years ago.”
“But now she is getting better because I have observed what seems to be an external force that is breaking her dreams, which is hard for her, but the dreams are broken and she will be able to wake up if she carries them through.”
The doctor was a little hard of hearing.
How could she say that she was personally sent by the House of Sages and had been in charge of Su Wen’s illness for almost ten years.
All the precious medical instruments had been used, to no avail.
“Hmm.” Ying Ziji said, “A while ago, did she have some kind of somatic reaction?”
Hearing this, the doctor’s body jolted, “Yes, how do you know?”
Were hypnosis and psychology really that divine?
“That’s what I mean by external forces.” Yu Xue Sheng smiled lightly, “This is good news, earlier I wasn’t sure that I could revive her, now I’m at least sixty percent.”
The doctor was then a little more convinced, “How long will it take?”
“Depending on how strong this external force is, it could be as short as three months or as long as a year.” Yu Xue Sheng spoke, “Once a week, I’ll bring my a*sistant over.”
Ying had a number in mind about Su Wen’s illness, and she stood up, “Let’s go.”
Sinai followed her out, her brow still furrowed.
The doctor was left alone to record Su Wen’s body data, and her eyes glanced unconsciously.
On the ice bed, Su Wen’s fingers moved as if she was about to grab something.
The doctor froze for a moment and hurriedly ran over to check carefully, and then went to see how the various data such as ECG and brain waves reacted on the instruments.
In the end, nothing was found to be wrong.
The doctor frowned.
Perhaps she had misread it.
**
Sinai exited the medical room and went straight to the adjacent pharmacy.
She rummaged through the shelves.
“Looking for something?” A voice sounded behind her, “Looking for a sample of the First Lady’s blood? Sorry, it’s gone.”
Sinai’s hand dropped and she turned her head, her ice-blue eyes as deep and frozen as ice.
This was her normal personality and appearance.
Icy and cold, without a trace of warmth.
Where was the vibrancy and youthfulness of a young girl her age, especially when Sinai used to spend all her time with experimental equipment?
The Third Mistress did not like Sinai at all.
The Third Mistress snorted, “The blood samples left behind by your sister-in-law are the only ones you’ll use for ten years, and you’ll take those blood samples to find someone who’s already dead.”
“Ten years, you think blood samples are inexhaustible?”
Technology in the World City had advanced quite a bit.
There were many more means of paternity testing.
But the only thing that hadn’t changed was that it was the blood, hair, etc. that was needed from the person being tested.
Sinai didn’t say anything and left the apothecary’s room.
The Third Lady looked at the woman with an obscure expression.
How come the man who had fed Sinai the drug in the first place hadn’t killed her in one fell swoop.
But so it was.
The death of any member of the first line of the Rheingold family would go to the Court of Magi and be tried by a whole House of Magi.
The Third Lady was only thinking about it, but she wouldn’t dare to act on it.
** Outside
Outside.
The car had already been parked by Yu Xuesheng.
Sinai bent down to get in and was about to speak.
Ying Ziyi picked up the phone and pointed it at her, shaking her head slightly.
On it was a sentence.
[Someone is following, the car has been pressed with a tracker.]
Sinai would understand.
In the driver’s seat, Yu Xuesheng starts the car and enters the air driving track.
Ying Ziyi closed his eyes and leaned against the window, closing his eyes.
In fact, the internal energy belonging to an ancient martial artist came out silently, instantly shattering all the trackers on the car.
“Ying, it’s not that I don’t trust you.” Sinai was silent for a moment, “I’ve been outside a few times and know that ancient martial arts and ancient medicine is a magical existence that only exists outside, but the House of Sages doesn’t believe in it, they only believe in the data on the instruments.”
Ying Zigui turned his head, “In other words, as long as you have the warrant of any of the Sages of the House of Sages, you can do it?”
“That’s right.” Sinai shook his head slightly, “But where can I get it.”
Ying Zidian nodded slowly, “Good.”
