“Ah… this…” Zhan Yan’s eyes darted around.

Zhan Suiru: “So the list of names you gave me before was just you deliberately fooling me, right?”

Zhan Yan: “…Sis, how is that player you just caught doing?”

The topic change was incredibly forced. Zhan Suiru looked at him quietly.

“There are superhumans in the gaming convention, and they’ve already reported the incident to the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau. Sis, don’t you need to give Ning Xi a heads-up?” Zhan Yan put on a serious face. “I’ve already altered the surveillance footage in the convention. It shows that when the incident happened, we were both far away from the scene, and that we had just left the gaming venue to go play somewhere else.”

Zhan Suiru stared at her brother for two seconds, cooperatively letting him off the hook for now.

She dragged the unconscious Luo Yigang out and asked: “Is there a Mind-Control Thread in this guy’s soul? Is he being controlled by the Infinite?”

Seeing his sister willing to change the subject, Zhan Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly searched Luo Yigang’s gossip feeds, and after reading just a few lines, he frowned in disgust.

This guy was an extreme believer in the law of the jungle, believing that the strong had the right to do whatever they wanted to the weak, and he was willing to do anything to become stronger. He had voluntarily worked for the Infinite, but he made a wrong move during his clash with the Chronicle of the World and was planted with a Mind-Control Thread.

“He was willing. The police still have several unsolved serial murder cases that were committed by him.”

Zhan Suiru nodded, and a blizzard swept past. Luo Yigang suddenly opened his eyes, his eyeballs bulging and bloodshot, but the very next second, he closed his eyes and passed out again.

“Sis?” Zhan Yan asked.

“It’s nothing, just making sure he can’t open his mouth to pass on messages,” Zhan Suiru said casually. She had used her mental energy to shred Luo Yigang’s memories and cognition. “He saw you; I can’t let him leak information about you.”

Yanyan’s secret identity absolutely could not be exposed. Even if it meant giving up intelligence they could potentially extract from Luo Yigang, they absolutely could not risk it at all.

Her communicator had already started constantly receiving messages from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

Rong Sui’s blizzard-like mental energy was too iconic. Ordinary superhumans might not know it, but as soon as it was reported to the Bureau, they would recognize it immediately. She had to handle this aspect first.

Rong Sui: “It’s me.”
“The other half of the Chronicle of the World’s skill book is on him.”
“I’ve caught the person; we’re still in the alley behind the exhibition center.”
“[Location]”

After Zhan Suiru finished replying, she said, “I have to meet with the people from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau later. I can’t take you with me, but I’m not comfortable leaving you alone either.”

“It’s fine, Sis. The Chronicle of the World shouldn’t have any other means to target me.” Zhan Yan had already checked the gossip feeds.

Luo Yigang and the “Lifeline” skill were new pieces of information. Their appearance provided enough data to fill in some of the [Loading…] gossip feeds, and now those specific feeds could be loaded.

The Chronicle of the World knew he was being targeted by both Deep Shadow and Rong Sui, and that his fate of being caught was unavoidable. To execute “Lifeline”, he had to find someone else to help him. But he didn’t feel safe putting his life in someone else’s hands, so he teamed up with the Monster Doctor to use the Mind-Control Thread to trap Luo Yigang.

The Chronicle of the World had handed over his only remaining half of the skill book. He truly had no more strength left; using the Mind-Control Thread to control Luo Yigang was his entire gamble.

“Besides, I’m very safe! I’ll explain it all to you later. You go handle the things here first, and whatever you do, don’t drop your vest.”

Zhan Suiru rubbed Zhan Yan’s head and snorted: “Did Deep Shadow secretly put protections on you too?”

At least he had a conscience… wait.

Zhan Suiru narrowed her eyes dangerously: “Does he know your identity?”

“No, no he doesn’t!” Zhan Yan quickly coaxed her. “Sister was the first to know!”

Satisfied, Zhan Suiru pulled out a car key from her pocket and handed it to Zhan Yan.

The key had a small oval screen. Zhan Suiru had him press his hand against it. A light blue light extended from the screen to Zhan Yan’s fingers, scanning his entire body along his outer silhouette.

The screen displayed a line of text: “New biometric information recorded.”

“What is this?” Zhan Yan asked.

“Press it,” Zhan Suiru said.

Zhan Yan pressed it, and the sound of a heavy object landing echoed beside them.

Zhan Suiru reached out and gripped the empty space. A shimmering motorcycle handle emerged from under her palm. The flowing light, like water, outlined a heavy, sleek motorcycle.

[This is an upgraded and reinforced super motorcycle, featuring invisibility, miniature electromagnetic cannons, a self-triggering sanctuary barrier, flight fields…]

Zhan Yan’s eyes lit up.

Sister’s super cool giant motorcycle!

Zhan Suiru: “It has an autonomous driving mode. You ride it around casually first, and wait for me to find you. The interface can be accessed using Network-type superpowers to enter the consciousness control panel. Try it out.”

Zhan Yan tried it… it felt a bit weird. He felt as if he had become the giant motorcycle, like having two bodies at the same time: one was himself, and the other, which had no feet and only two big wheels, was the giant motorcycle.

The advantage was that he completely understood how to control this giant motorcycle without having to learn. All its functions came naturally to him, just as a person didn’t need to learn how to move their own hands and feet.

“This motorcycle…” Before Zhan Suiru finished speaking, Zhan Yan had already hopped on, his eyes shining as he started the engine.

“Sis, don’t worry, I will definitely return the bike to you in one piece!”

The giant motorcycle vibrated silently twice. Water-like ripples flowed over its surface, and both the bike and the rider faded into the air, darting forward up the steps and kicking up a gust of invisible wind.

The giant motorcycle was super cool! He wanted to give Xiao Gu a ride on it in the future!

The wind lifted Zhan Suiru’s hair, and she smiled.

Silly child, is the bike really the point here?

Ning Xi was still pressing for details: “How did you find him?”

Rong Sui: “Passed by and bumped into him by chance.”
“I can sense him at close range.”

——Sensing him was true. After Zhan Suiru used her mental energy to touch Luo Yigang, she found his perception within her mental energy was different from others.

Luo Yigang had come into contact with the Infinite Will. Although the Infinite Will wasn’t on him now, it left traces. This trace was very shallow; she could only sense it through direct contact.

Zhan Suiru had rounded out the whole story perfectly.

Approaching Science. She couldn’t help but still think about it. Thinking about Approaching Science helping her find the keychain, popping up in the network world to teach her Network-type basics, eating concept dumplings like a juicer in the core area… Thinking about Approaching Science suddenly finding her, telling her how to save Xiao Ran, and, afraid she wouldn’t believe it, detailing all the steps and details item by item into a document… It was her younger brother.

Zhan Suiru also thought of the Heavenly Master and Ning Xi. They had said Approaching Science could be trusted, but it shouldn’t be spoken of nor investigated. She wouldn’t speak of it, not even to the Heavenly Master and Ning Xi who had once told her this.

Approaching Science was simultaneously an Information-type and a Network-type. The concept of “Mind/Spirit” was covered by “Network” in this world. On the day the Apocalyptic World merged into this world, a backdoor was opened in her mental energy…

Her motorcycle couldn’t be controlled just by being a “Network-type”. That interface wasn’t a network interface, but an entry point for mental energy.

Qi Ye and the Wan Shitong also had control over the Dawn World, and could use it as a relay to bring their mental energy into reality. But their cognition was still suppressed by the concept of “Network,” and so far they hadn’t been able to break through the barrier to bring their mental energy into reality.

Yanyan still hadn’t realized that he could use mental energy in reality.

How wonderful. It was her little brother. How wonderful.

Zhan Suiru couldn’t help smiling. She interrupted her train of thought, deciding not to think further.

Yanyan didn’t seem to fully understand his own specialness yet.

She wouldn’t let Yanyan be in danger, and she absolutely wouldn’t let the Infinite have a chance to hurt her mom, dad, and older brother.

Zhan Suiru also thought of how Approaching Science had helped her contact Deep Shadow… Tsk, her brother wouldn’t have known Deep Shadow’s identity back then, would he?

The people from the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau arrived quickly. Zhan Suiru withdrew her thoughts and handed over the unconscious Luo Yigang.

Black Wolf, who came to pick him up, checked Luo Yigang’s condition. Very good, his vital signs were stable—not like the one Deep Shadow caught, where they were afraid the guy would die without immediate first aid.

Satisfied, Black Wolf took the person back to the Bureau, only to discover that Luo Yigang had become completely mentally impaired.

Black Wolf: ???

Black Wolf: “He can only go ‘aba aba’ now. Do you have any idea why this is?”

Rong Sui: “Maybe I accidentally hit him too hard. Who knew his mind was so fragile?”

Black Wolf: …You’re awesome. You and Deep Shadow really have the exact same style. Are all the people who come out of the Infinite this ruthless?

Zhan Suiru didn’t care how they handled it afterwards. She went to find her brother who was riding the giant motorcycle.

Zhan Yan was having a blast speeding on the motorcycle—the giant motorcycle could fly! So cool, so cool, so cool!

Imagining riding the giant motorcycle and taking Xiao Gu for a spin in the future… just thinking about it felt exhilarating.

Just as he was enjoying himself, the giant motorcycle in his consciousness suddenly flashed twice, took a sharp turn, and carried him back.

Oh oh, sister was done, so she made the giant motorcycle bring him back. The two of them still had a ton of questions to discuss regarding their secret identities.

Zhan Yan had already thought it through. He could talk to his sister about Xiao Gu first. If he couldn’t get past the ‘Xiao Gu hurdle’ with his sister, he would timely throw out Mom, Dad, and Brother’s secret identities to attract her attention.

Just thinking about how shocked his sister would be to learn that the whole family had secret identities made Zhan Yan want to laugh. Great, from now on he wouldn’t have to carry this massive secret alone. Drag his sister into the water! Let her help share the pressure of their parents dating while hiding their identities!

Meanwhile, as Zhan Suiru waited for the giant motorcycle to bring her brother back, her heart was also full of a sense of crisis.

Even if Yanyan’s vest wasn’t exposed, it didn’t mean Yanyan was safe.

Look at this mess this time. The Chronicle of the World and Luo Yigang didn’t even know who Yanyan was, but forcefully found him relying on that broken “Lifeline” skill. Where did the Infinite get so many fancy tricks?!

Fortunately, she was there this time. But what if something similar happened next time?

During Yanyan’s vacation, she could come up with excuses to keep him with her every day. But what about when Yanyan’s school started? There’s no such thing as an older sister accompanying her brother to college every day…

Ah right, Deep Shadow’s ordinary person identity is Yanyan’s roommate, right? Perfect. Deep Shadow, acting as a bodyguard, should still be reliable! She’ll just rely on him. When Yanyan goes to school, Deep Shadow had better stick with him every single day!

After she finished chatting with her brother, she would go talk to Deep Shadow. It would be best to weld Deep Shadow onto her brother, never letting him stray away for even a second!
