CHAPTER 240: CHAPTER 239: BATTLEFIELD

Chapter 239: Battlefield

The moment He Li heard an urgent call from his Adjutant Ji Wen that something happened to Su Jinxi, he knew that this was definitely about those mysterious things again. He commands the team to stay put as they constantly fight with the Zergs while he swiftly flies using his mecha towards Su Jinxi’s direction.

Upon arriving, what welcomed him was the anxious voices from the other soldiers as they worriedly looked at Su Jinxi who was sitting on the ground. She was totally disheveled, full of wounds and scratches but that seems to be forgotten as she was only focused on clutching her head tightly. Her expression reveals an intense pain and tears were streaming down fast from her tightly closed eyes.

In normal circumstances it could be described as someone who’s in a mental riot, however due to her special situation, there might be some other things.

"Marshal!"

He Li squatted down to level her and tried to talk, "Su Jinxi, can you hear me?" he called but the latter didn’t even spare a glance at him. He frowned. "Su Jinxi!"

The other soldiers noticed his expression and also tried to call but in no vain. The situation clearly tells that if this goes further, Su Jinxi’s condition will be too dangerous to be saved.

Even though He Li didn’t know what will happen if he’ll use his mental power to wake her up, he has no choice but to. He cautiously extends a strand of his mental power to the other one. Fortunately, Su Jinxi instinctively felt familiar with that mental power and her eyes slowly became clear.

"M-Marshal..." she whispered. Su Jinxi wanted to offer respect but even just by raising her head slightly, her head aches even more, feeling as if she was constantly stabbed by knives.

"What happened?"

"M-Marshal..." Su Jinxi took a deep breath and forced herself to endure her aching temple and tried to start explaining.

Earlier, everything was just normal except for the group of black mist around the battlefield. Having been reminded by Qin An, she knew that that was the resentment that causes the world’s havoc, the mental pollution.

Su Jinaxi could clearly see how the large lump masses of pollution were gathered from every zerg and when they tried to attack them, a wave of black mist would also attack resulting in an increased mental pollution. This is exactly what Qin An explained.

Seeing this in front of her eyes sends chills down on her spine and at the same time, a faint excitement. She could see it. Does that mean that she can find a way on how to defend this?

Su Jinxi wasted no time and started experimenting. She attacked a zerg and when she saw it counterattack using that black mist, she could clearly feel how her head started aching more when it landed on her. Enduring this, she continues her attack, this time every time the zerg attacks her with that, she would use her mental power to cleverly avoid it.

And to her surprise, even if she couldn’t really avoid it totally, her attacks weren’t as grave as the others earlier! Aside from that, she could also strangely feel that when she uses her metal power to counterattack, the black mist seems to pause and its aggressiveness lessen a bit.

"!!!" How is that even possible?! This pollution has nothing to fear! They are like leeches that don’t fear death and would just do everything to stick and suck off their mental power. Yet, how does it feel like she can now defend it?

Su Jinxi tried and tried that method to verify her guesses and finally confirmed something. What these black mist eared isn’t actually her pure mental power but the strange energy inside her.

At first she didn’t notice because she was focused on things but as she wondered why that black mist didn’t fear the others who were as strong as her? What was strange? What is the difference?

Then she remembered Qin An. That young man who has a strange energy that eases their mental pollution. Su Jinxi could still remember how the young man effortlessly eased the pain inside him like a gentle caress. But even if that seems pure and defenseless, just seeing how the mental pollution disappeared under his power, it’s clear how powerful it is.

Now even if it’s not that powerful like the young man, the strange energy that suddenly grew inside her was familiar like the same as his. Furthermore, Qin An said she was a chosen one who had that ability to ’see’.

Su Jinxi felt an intense encouragement from the small amount of power inside her. She didn’t hesitate to start commanding the soldiers under her. While they attack, she would try her best to exert that energy to project them. As she could see it, she can perfectly avoid it and command others too.

This strategy was extremely effective yet at the same time dangerous only for her.

Su Jinxi didn’t know how to control this or to what extent she could use it. Since this was also the first time, her energy immediately dilapidated after just a few times of trying.

She could feel a sudden heaviness that poured inside her head. It’s not just the aching pain from the mental pollution but there seems to be a force inside her that pulls her energy. Her whole body went numb as her face went extremely pale.

But how could she let this opportunity slide? She could only grit her teeth and hold herself tightly, feeling as if any second from now, something inside her mind would snap.

As time went by, Su Jinxi acted like nothing happened even if all she could taste inside her mouth was the blood that she wanted to vomit badly.

But no. If others notice this condition, they will definitely urge her to stop helping them.

She could not. She must not allow herself to be defeated.

Su Jinxi felt like she had no right to give up even if it meant dying. They are all her comrades. Even the slightest and the tiniest way that could possibly save or prolong their life, she will do it at all cost.

... it’s just that what she wanted is way too impossible.

In the next moment, a sound like a prolonged beep from a monitor echoes on her head loudly. Su Jinxi held her head and groaned at the sudden event. Her knees wobbled and she finally couldn’t help but to fall on the ground.

"!!!" The soldiers surrounding her gasp upon noticing her downfall and quickly call her. However, Su Jinxi’s ears remained close and all she could hear was the loud prolonged beep that made her head tingled in pain.

She didn’t know what was happening but she felt that this was due to her overuse of that strange energy. She could feel her strength drastically falling as if any seconds from now, she’ll fall and maybe die.

But not yet. Not until she informs the Marshal at least for this discovery!

"C-Call the Marshal!" She anxiously shouted.

This is what happened before He Li came. Listening to her explanation, He Li also knew her condition was at the critical moment. She couldn’t go on any longer.

He Li stood up and issued a command. "Protect her at all costs. She must be sent back to the Federation alive!"
