  "He can't control his emotions in the dream?"

  Victor was a little puzzled. Then, he changed his line of reasoning and realized that Sean was referring to George's parents.

  George originally had a good family but then his father was killed in a gunfight, so his mother found a violent stepfather. At the same time, her attitude toward George turned around 180 degrees and she became cold and indifferent.

  Due to the indifference of his stepfather and mother, George had killed them in a dream after awakening his psionic powers.

  If this was the case, then everything made sense — why both abnormal events happened late at night, why both abnormal events revolved around George, why only George survived each time, and everyone else died…

  "If that's true, then Mr. Sean, you've truly cracked this abnormal event."

  Victor also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he still had some doubts. "Can you tell me what you saw after activating your power?"

  "I saw George's dream world…"

  Sean immediately described, "His dream was filled with a boundless mist and deep in the mist there were a few monsters that looked part human and part octopus. These monsters can use their tentacles to enter through people's nostrils and suck out their internal organs. That's all that I saw."

  "Very well…"

  Victor said with satisfaction, "Thank you for your cooperation. If there's any need, I'll be in contact with you."

  With that, he turned around to leave.

  "Hold on!"

  Sean hurriedly stopped Victor. Seeing Victor looking back suspiciously, Sean clenched his jaw and asked immediately, "May I ask, how are you going to deal with this child?"

  "Don't worry, we won't kill him."

  Victor replied, "We'll adopt the methods of psychological counseling to guide his superpowers. Maybe we'll absorb him and make him one of us."

  "That's good."

  Sean heaved a sigh of relief. After all, George was just a child. His childhood had been unfortunate enough. It would be too tragic if he was treated as a guinea pig or a criminal because of this incident.

  The case was settled. Sean was about to take his leave immediately, but when he walked out of the welfare home, he was chased down by a task force member who rushed over and handed him a document.

  "This document is a non-disclosure agreement. If there's no problem with it, please sign it."

  The task force member reminded, "After signing the document, you cannot disclose any information about the Blacklight Foundation and this abnormal event. If you do, we'll try you in the court of the Federal Special Branch. You may face a punishment of ten years in fixed-term imprisonment or even the death penalty."

  Sean frowned. He opened the agreement and took a look, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if I don't sign it?"

  "If you don't sign it, we'll assume that you don't agree with the confidentiality regulations on the document."

  The member of the task force replied, "Then, to prevent you from leaking our secrets, we'll erase your memories. Then, you'll forget everything that has happened today."

  "Erase my memories?"

  Sean was taken aback and then said coldly, "Aren't you infringing on human rights?"

  "Sorry, it's confidential, we have to do this."

  The task force member was neither too submissive nor too forceful.

  Seeing this, Sean had to suppress the fury in his heart, signed his name on the last page, and then handed it to the other party expressionlessly. If someone familiar with Sean saw him now, they would know that Sean had been angered by now.

  "Thank you for your cooperation."

  The task force member saluted Sean, then turned and left.

  Sean stifled his rage, left the street that was sealed off, and returned to the police station. It was not until all his colleagues welcomed him back that Sean's inner anger subsided.

  …

  In the evening, Sean returned home and gradually fell into deep thought.

  There were two things he was thinking about. One of them was that he had met the group of people claiming to be the Blacklight Foundation during the day. These people were mysterious but with extremely high authority and even the local police department could not interfere with their judgments and cases. The word Blacklight also reminded Sean of the name "Blackwatch Corporation".

  "Could it be that the rumors are true, that Blackwatch has reached a level of parity with the four continents, and even this foundation dedicated to handling abnormal events is led by Blackwatch?"

  After thinking for a while, Sean could not help but shake his head. He had just come to his senses but he fell into deep thought again when he looked at the food prepared at the table.

  He had not eaten for two days and one night.

  The food was clearly laid out on the table but Sean found that he had no appetite and he did not even want to drink a sip of water.

  Sean knew that this was not right. The human body might occasionally lose appetite for a day or two, but it was impossible to not even need water.

  However, even if he forced himself to drink water, he would still puke it out again as if his body was already filled to the brim. There was no room for even a glass of water…

  "What's going on?"

  Sean was a little disconcerted but no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out why, so he had to call his boss and tell him that he needed to take the day off tomorrow and go to the hospital for a checkup.

  After the phone call, it was nighttime, so Sean stopped thinking, but instead went back to bed and fell asleep.

  He did not dream all night.

  Early the next morning, Sean was awakened by knocks on the door. The knocks on the door were extremely loud and crude as if a group of people was kicking the door, which infuriated Sean.

  He had to get out of bed at once, walked through the living room to the door, and asked loudly, "Who is it?"

  However, the knocking persisted and no one answered.

  Seeing this, Sean suddenly became a little wary. He looked through the peephole outside but only saw three or four soldiers in black combat uniforms standing outside the door. He was very familiar with this get-up, for it was the same group as the task force from yesterday.

  Seeing this, Sean opened the door and at the same time, asked the other party coldly, "Why are you here again? Didn't I sign the so-called non-disclosure agreement?"

  "Mr. Sean."

  The leader saluted Sean and then took out a document, saying, "We're task force three of the Blacklight Foundation. In view of your special psionic ability, since you've learned of our foundation's existence, we hope to temporarily transfer you to our team to help investigate an abnormal event. This is the transfer letter."

  Sean took the document and saw that it had the red seal of his police department and the red seal of Michigan at the same time.

  Goodness, to transfer him, they even got the stamp from the state police…

  Sean secretly marveled at the authority and efficient speed of the other party but felt that something was fishy, so he asked, "Haven't I solved the abnormal event yesterday? Is there another abnormal event now?"

  "I assume you're talking about the abnormal event investigated by task force five yesterday."

  The person in front of him wore a helmet, so Sean could not see his face. He only heard the other person say indifferently. "Unfortunately, this abnormal event has been transferred to our task force three for investigation."

  "Why?"

  Sean was even more flabbergasted. He worked in a police station himself. He naturally understood that unless someone applied for it, basically a case would not be transferred to another person. No matter how special the foundation was, it would not possibly violate this basic rule. After all, it was all about morale.

  "Because just last night, task force five was fully wiped out."

  …

  Chapter 621: Escalation |

  A letter, like
a splash caused by a rock thrown into the lake, completely shattered the peace of the Earth Federation.

  In the early morning, when Chen Chen was having breakfast, served Little X, the letter was delivered to his table.

  "Task force five was completely annihilated."

  The subject of the letter was a line in striking blood-red text. When he saw this line of text, Chen Chen could not help raising his eyebrows.

  "A suspected Alpha-level psionicist?"

  After reading the contents, Chen Chen wore a pensive expression. "A nine-year-old child? George?"

  "He's suspected of having the ability to transform dreams into reality. This was inferred by a psionicist detective."

  Little X said from the side, "At present, he can't control his psionic powers. Every time he falls asleep, he'll have nightmares. When dreaming, a monster similar to an octopus will appear from the dream and devour the internal organs of nearby people."

  Chen Chen did not speak but continued to read silently. The mail included all the causes and consequences of the case as well as the video data left behind. However, when he saw a passage, Chen Chen's face suddenly grew solemn.

  "That psionic detective smelled sulfur both times?"

  Chen Chen turned his head to look at Little X. "Do you know what this smell represents?"

  "Subspace?"

  Little X said, "You mean, this matter may have something to do with the subspace?"

  "There's such a possibility."

  Chen Chen nodded and said gravely, "I have a guess — maybe psionic power itself is inextricably linked to the subspace."

  Little X was shocked when she heard this. She immediately understood why Chen Chen would think this.

  Chen Chen once entered the subspace, but only psionic energy could be used in the subspace, and Field energy was completely unusable.

  At the same time, only the power of psionic energy allowed one to roughly perceive the reality in the subspace. Beyond that, one would need the power of a navigator transformed by psionic energy.

  In addition, the flesh and blood of the Consciousness Stealer were found to have first appeared in the orbital area near Uranus after its trajectory was investigated. It was as if it appeared out of thin air and one of the Mandeville Points was also there, through which it was easiest to enter and exit the subspace…

  If there were only one or two of these clues, it might still be considered a coincidence but now that three consecutive clues all linked psionic energy to the subspace, this was somewhat intriguing.

  In summary, the subspace, a mysterious place that humans had never set foot in, might be inextricably linked to psionic powers.

  "Of course, all this is still just my conjecture."

  Chen Chen said softly, "Maybe my guess is wrong, but in any case, I should bring George here first. I want to see him in person."

  "I'm afraid it will be difficult."

  Little X said, distressed, "01 has already ordered the detention of this boy. After all, it happened in his territory. He was also the first to get the news. In my opinion, he seems to be ready to develop the boy's power for his own use."

  "Oh?"

  Chen Chen frowned.

  "You're not the only one who has been startled. The other four have also been alerted. After all, the Blacklight Foundation has been established for so long and has never suffered such a huge loss. Naturally, 01 would pay attention to it."

  Little X explained.

  The destruction of an entire task force was comparable to the loss of a group army. After all, the task force was selected through various filters by the four continents. It could be described as the elite among the elite, and each member was a multilingual all-rounder who could perform frontal assaults, assassinations, invasions, case-solving, and electronic warfare. Moreover, with the time and money spent on them, they were indeed comparable to a group of army.

  Thousands of people were handpicked from the tens of millions of soldiers in the world, yet one-fifth of them were lost in one night. This was inevitably shocking.

  Hearing Little X's explanation, Chen Chen stood up without even thinking about it, turned and walked toward the meeting room, and said, "X, connect me directly to 01. I want to talk to him alone."

  Soon, Chen Chen came to the holographic conference room where the Lilith Assembly was held and waited silently at the same time.

  In less than ten minutes, the seat opposite Chen Chen in the conference room flickered in the air and a blurry black figure appeared on the seat.

  "05, why did you contact me?"

  01 remained in his seat, unperturbed, as he tapped the table with one hand and asked.

  "Give me George."

  Chen Chen did not beat around the bush either. He put his hands on the table and went directly to the point. "This boy may be a huge threat. You have no experience in dealing with all this."

  "If I have no experience, I can accumulate experience."

  01 chuckled lightly, lying back in the seat, and said calmly, "On the contrary, it's you — didn't you say that you won't be able to participate much in the Lilith Assembly in the future? How come you can't sit still when you hear about what happened in Northern America now?"

  "I'm not asking for George because of his psionic potential."

  Chen Chen's frown lines deepened. "To tell you the truth, George may be related to the subspace and among our five major forces, only our Blacklight Biotechnology has come into contact with the subspace. It's a different world full of madness and destruction. If you insist on studying George alone, I'm afraid that the entire human race will fall into disaster because of you!"

  "Oh?"

  Hearing Chen Chen's warning, 01 hesitated slightly. "Is the subspace so terrifying?"

  "Terror is only secondary. The key is the continuation of human civilization."

  Chen Chen said resolutely, "01, you can make a request. If the request isn't excessive, I can use that to exchange for this boy."

  Hearing the determination in Chen Chen's words, 01 could not help falling silent.

  Chen Chen did not rush him but waited on the spot, staring at the other side. He knew that 01 at this time was discussing with his own personal think tank.

  About ten minutes later, 01 spoke again but these words darkened Chen Chen's expression completely. "05, although your offer is somewhat attractive, it's far inferior to George, a natural Alpha-level psionicist."

  01 continued. "So, I can only refuse your request. We won't exchange him for anything, so give it up."

  Hearing the answer from the other party, Chen Chen took a deep breath. He silently glanced at the black shadow in front of him but said lightly, "You'll regret it." After saying that, he directly shut off the contact.

  Only the ignorant would be fearless!

  Chen Chen snorted coldly. He understood that 01's choice was not wrong because there were ten task forces in the Blacklight Foundation, of which three were commanded by Northern America and four were commanded by Chen Chen. Of these four, two were psionic task forces.

  In addition, the only three Alpha-class psionicists in the world all obeyed Chen Chen's orders. Whether in terms of the Foundation's strength or its internal influence, Chen Chen could crush the other four continents.

  The four continents were naturally displeased about this. Now there was George, a psionic who practically violated the natural order. This was a good opportunity to increase their influence and their power to speak. Of course, Northern America was unwilling to give him up.

  "Then, what should we do now?"

  Little X could not help asking, "In fact, if we use the black slate, we can easily get that boy."

  "This is-n't necessary yet."

  Chen Chen shook his head and pondered aloud, "The black slate has the ability to temporarily control human behavior, but once I halt its control after using it, the other party will wake up and it will be more difficult to explain things then… Not to mention all of this is mere conjecture. Since they don't want
to hand him over, let's just wait and see how things unfold."

  With that, Chen Chen added again. "If there's a situation that spirals out of control, I'll get involved myself."

  Little X assented, silently evaluating Chen Chen's decision without persuading him otherwise.

  In her estimation, even if the child named George was dangerous, he was only a psionicist. To someone like Chen Chen, psionicists and ordinary people were the same. They could be considered as beings that posed no threat.

  …

  Detective Sean was transferred to the Blacklight Foundation.

  He had no say in this. He was picked up by a few people at the airport and then boarded a special plane that had already been prepared and flew to the location of the Blacklight Foundation's Northern American headquarters.

  This was an unknown small township under the jurisdiction of Washington. It looked like a poor rural area, but no one knew that this was the Northern American headquarters of the most mysterious organization in the Earth Federation, the Blacklight Foundation.

  From the outside, the headquarters appeared to be just an ordinary large farm. When Sean came to the only house on the farm, he looked around and saw that the place was very simple. The most eye-catching item was the dining table placed in the center of the house.

  "Are we going to have a rustic meal here first?"

  Sean whistled and then naturally sat down at the table.

  However, in the next second, Sean suddenly felt a faint vibration from the ground. He looked at the stoic task force member by his side and quickly stood up. Then, he only saw that the table in front of him suddenly split in the middle, revealing a deep chasm below. The chasm continued to widen and a platform rose from it, unfolding in front of Sean.

  The captain of the task force gestured in invitation and led everyone to stand on the platform first. When Sean saw this, he followed them.

  When he had stood firmly on the platform, the platform began to slowly descend.

  They descended about forty to fifty meters and the sunlight was completely replaced by incandescent lamps. After that, an alloy door slowly opened, revealing a vast hall inside.
