Knowing the end of the world, I recruited the golden finger to lead the motherland

Chapter 30 It's not that metaphysics can't be solved

This is cheating! Technology is cheating!
Xia Huaidao almost fainted from his breath. He never expected that he would be exposed like this. He remained silent for a few seconds, resigned himself to his fate and smiled bitterly:

"So what are you trying to do? The so-called case of cooperating with the investigation is just to trick me into coming here to control me? You already knew that I was wrong, but you still dared to sting the law enforcement?"

"It's not right to call it fishing enforcement," Yan Ning raised his eyebrows and said, "My trick is called catching a turtle in a jar."

Who are you calling a cuckold? Xia Huaidao was depressed, but also alert to the cannon outside the car. He was really afraid that this person would die with him. He signaled the ghosts who were screaming and urging him to kill to shut up, and said:
"A turtle is a turtle. Do you want to use the turtle for research, or make a pot of turtle soup to nourish the kidneys?"

"What a statement! How can one compare himself to a turtle? You are indeed a master, so unique."

Yan Ning doesn't want to take the blame for calling someone a bastard. The bug in this car is connected to the military, so don't lead her astray.

Xia Huaidao choked. For some reason, he was given the tag "Qingqi". Before he could refute, he heard a slight phone notification tone.

It’s Yan Ning’s cell phone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Adjutant Wang," Yan Ning glanced at the message and said with a smile, "Just stop nearby. Master Xia and I will have a private chat. You can go to Staff Officer Lu first."

"clear."

The vehicle stopped and Adjutant Wang got off first.

His military rank was not low, and he knew some inside information about the Spark Project, but he also knew that there were some things he was not yet qualified to listen to, so he didn't even guard the door and left directly according to Yan Ning's order.

Seeing that there were only two people left in the car, Xia Huaidao looked at Yan Ning and thought that although he was tall, he looked gentle and was probably a clerk rather than a military officer. He could use ghost control just when he was about to reach a desperate situation.

At worst, there was no way that a grown man like him, who had practiced some martial arts, could lose to her.

"How did you find out about me? To be more precise, how did you find out about my abilities?"

Xia Huaidao spoke, and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Yan Ning's tablet interface. He could only see a small corner of it due to the obstruction of the privacy screen, which was filled with dense text: "Rely on the information?"

"Information? Of course not."

Yan Ning raised an eyebrow, picked up the tablet he carried with him and swiped it casually. It was indeed several pages of information about Xia Huaidao. His life experience was clearly written, and his family relationships and the interactions involved in the drug case at that time were also clearly analyzed.

"The information is what I use to screen and speculate the awakened ones, but now that I am 60% sure that you are the awakened one, I just need to verify it roughly."

Xia Huai said: "...Awakened?"

"You are a person with superpowers like me. You are not the first one, so I am not surprised that you have abilities beyond current human cognition. As for the specific superpowers..." Yan Ning smiled, "I was originally speculating about suggestion, control, etc., but seeing that you are still a little cold in the long sleeves and long pants you wear in the middle of summer, but your physical report shows that you are very healthy, I can't help but think too much."

The more I thought about it, the more I thought of the special family background of Xia Huaidao. I found out that his grandfather, Xia Shouren, was a Taoist priest who went down the mountain to fight against the Japanese invaders. He was proficient in feng shui and Taoism. After a lifetime of military service for the sake of his country, he returned to Longhu Mountain under an assumed name and adopted a grandson.

Feng Shui is a mysterious art. Yan Ning borrowed internal files, which were old files that had not even been entered into electronic files. Only then did he find some strange records from the unpublished manuscripts of war correspondents:
[Comrade Xia was attacked by the enemy while strolling through Qinlong Pass. He was guarding the pass alone. On that day, there was a thunderstorm and dark clouds. The next day, the news came that Qinlong Pass was safe and sound. Our army was able to defend the rear. However, the captive was mentally ill. A comrade who was proficient in Japanese translated his oral statement. The captive said: "Hundreds of ghosts are guarding the city."

[Comrade Xia angrily cursed, "Nonsense, the little devil's brain... (smeared out by ink), last night was karma, the heroic souls return home! I will go to Quan Tai to recruit old subordinates, and with 100,000 flags, I will kill Yama! ]

Yan Ning frowned when he saw the record, and compared it with the surveillance video of the drug lord himself running towards the vehicle when he was hit. Although Xia Huaidao was in a blind spot in the surveillance, Zhang Yuanshuang happened to be there and said that he saw with his own eyes that the master turned his head as expected and said something to the air.

So Yan Ning came up with this guess: this Xia Huaidao can communicate with some invisible things.

Anyway, we already have space and infinite supermarkets, so it's no big deal to have a yin-yang eye or something like that! After that, it's only natural to arrange thermal imaging or something like that.

"...You've come up with a new world."

Xia Huaidao felt suffocated after listening to Yan Ning's simple narration.

"Besides, that was a blind spot for surveillance that I picked on purpose. How could you... Oh! Did that woman who was covered tightly tell you? I said I remembered her coming here before. It turns out she is an informant."

Since he couldn't hide it anymore, Yan Ning nodded frankly.

"But even if they are informants or the security department, they can't force me to serve."

Xia Huaidao looked at the ghosts circling around him. After all, they had self-awareness. This was not just his problem. If he was really involved and was studied, there was no telling what the fate of the ghosts following him would be. He had to think carefully about this matter.

"Of course I am happy to serve the country and the people, but don't you have to get my consent? Although I am a commoner and cannot do anything to you, if I am pushed to the limit, I might risk my life."

This is half threat and half negotiation.

"That's right." But I don't have time to waste here. Yan Ning smiled and said, "How about this, you try your ability first, and then decide whether to go or not."

"Try your ability?" Xia Huaidao adjusted his sunglasses and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure." Yan Ning nodded and made a "please" gesture.

That being the case...

Xia Huaidao looked at the ferocious black energy around Yan Ning, hesitated for a moment and still didn't try. He turned his head and said to the ghost he had subdued behind him: "Drive, let's go back."

The gray fog fluctuated, and a long-tongued ghost emerged from it, floating towards the driver's seat.

In the background, people were watching the situation closely and observing it with thermal imaging, and they were shocked:
"It can actually be controlled! I've never seen anything like this before."

"I told you there are ghosts in this world. The blueberry cake I left in the refrigerator at night was eaten by this unknown creature. It's fine if you say he ate it, but why didn't I get out of bed in the winter and why didn't they turn off the lights when I asked them to?!"

"… Bah! Stop accusing me. You were the one who stole the cake in the middle of the night because you were greedy. I didn't even take a single bite!"

The situation was obviously going off track, and the leader of the research group cleared his throat, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"Chief of Staff, we need to take action."

At the military headquarters which was also connected to the surveillance line, Bai Jiu looked at the woman in military uniform standing beside him. The latter nodded, and the technician waiting for orders confirmed the procedure.

"Om-"

Everyone in the military district felt a ringing in their ears for a moment.

The communication signal fluctuated for a moment and was corrected and restored, but the bird flying in the air was knocked unconscious and suddenly crashed into a tree.

At the same time, Xia Huaidao suddenly sat up straight and asked in surprise: "What's going on?!"
