IJWTRQ Chapter 025

What else can Qiao Zhixue do? Of course, he has to find a way!

Others, even Liang Xian three people, can be eliminated, but Tan Yan absolutely can’t leave. If he doesn’t join the interest group, will the others go to the post-apocalyptic world to die?

“You don’t want to peek at the exam paper in advance, but you want everyone to work together to find an answer that satisfies everyone?” Qiao Zhixue asked.

“That’s right.” Tan Yan’s attitude is serious.

Qiao Zhixue: “…”

Qiao Zhixue thinks that everyone may think too highly of him, he’s just an academic, not a political person, the one that should consider this kind of thing should be the minister, how can he have such big background? He is now thinking every day about what equipment the next group of people going to the void will bring.

“I probably understand what you mean,” Fortunately, there is still Ah San, who has the experience of entering the ‘void’ together and knows a little about Tan Yan, “You know you have to be in the interest group, but you don’t want to be unfair to other students. How about this, you can answer whatever you want in this exam, but in terms of grades, I will give you a grade that is neither high nor low. I will keep a backup of the test papers for this time. When you feel that you have reached this level, come and retake the test. I will replace the papers when the time comes, okay?”

After hearing this, Tan Yan agreed very quickly, no matter what the approach, he would feel sorry for his grades, what he lacked compared to others was time, and Ah San just gave him a buffer time.

Liang Xian was still thinking about the difference between stealing the test papers and copying the answers, with directly changing the grades, when Ah San put his arms on his shoulders and showed a mischievous smile: “Kid, did you steal the test paper last night?”

“How do you know?” Liang Xian was taken aback.

“Deceived you,” Ah San shrugged his shoulders, his ordinary face filled with the light of wisdom at this time, “I always feel that you can’t be so peaceful. Why, Tan Yan disagrees, right?”

Why does he not understand things that Ah San understands? Liang Xian was very puzzled.

“Let me tell you the difference between the two,” Ah San hooked Liang Xian’s shoulders, “For people like Tan Yan, he can’t accept false grades that he can’t do, and he can’t accept that his grades are obtained by cheating. The results I announced this time are what he can achieve in the future, or a learning goal he set for himself, which is different from being fake from the beginning, understand?”

Liang Xian only half-understand.

Ah San sighed slightly.

In his opinion, Liang Xian is too good and too smart, his performance in the other world is excellent, and he has something that he himself doesn’t have, both Qiao Zhixue and Tan Yan are nurturing Liang Xian to be a leader, but this leader himself is not very mature, if he is not instilled with a correct worldview before he grows up, the future will be very scary.

After coming out of the ‘void’, the research team did various tests that showed their body values were no different from the usual, and all kinds of data proved that the ability could only be used in the other world, but Ah San didn’t believe it.

In the real world, Tan Yan obviously cut the tendon in his hand, but he didn’t even have a flesh wound. At that time, he hasn’t entered the ‘void’. Where did this self-healing ability come from?

“You say, when we become that half-dead, do Tan Yan hope for us to awaken our ability to recover?” Ah San suddenly asked in a low voice.

“Certainly hoped.” Tan Yan, who heard from the side, replied.

Oops, forgot again that Tan Yan’s hearing is different from ordinary people’s.

At this point, Liang Xian winked at Ah San, indicating that they would talk about this matter later.

All three of them have a tacit agreement not to report Ah San’s previous ‘suspected injuries’ to the organization, not because they didn’t know and didn’t report it, but because they did not want people to experiment on Tan Yan as a different kind because of an inconclusive matter.

There are three explanations for San’s ‘injury’, the first is that he recovered from his injury in the other world, after all, the situation was urgent. Ah San was sucked into the ‘void’ immediately after being injured in the real world. Only after arriving in another world did he have time to check the wound, there is a time gap in between, it can also clarify Tan Yan’s words that ‘there will be no superpowers in the real world’; The second is that he was not injured from the start, and Tan Yan’s attack gave him an illusion of injury, there is also a precedent for this, there have been people who had illusion of death in front of murderous mercenaries or killers, this is caused by momentum and oppression; The third is what they suspect most but are most reluctant to believe, Ah San’s wrist recovered instantly after being injured.

No evidence, everything can only rely on Ah San’s feelings, and Ah San himself can’t tell clearly. He could only temporarily suppress his suspicions and leave them for future investigation.

From the observations these days, Tan Yan is an upright and pedantic person, he won’t even copy exam papers, the possibility of such a person lying is almost zero, how can he hide the fact that the he can use supernatural ability in the real world?

Ah San decided to trust Tan Yan for the time being.

Seeing that all three had come, Qiao Zhixue said directly: “The next time entering the ‘void’, the organization asks everyone to complete the following tasks on the premise of successfully returning to Earth——First, try to contact the local intelligent creatures and understand the cause of the end of the world; Second, bring some measuring instruments, although we can’t bring back things from other worlds, but we can test them locally and bring back data, we have to determine whether the world beyond the ‘void’ is our parallel universe or not; Third, use various methods to grasp the level of everyone’s ability. If Tan Yan doesn’t have to make a move, then don’t, you are our trump card, as long as there is no danger, just guide the younger generation.”

“When and where will the next ‘void’ appear?” Ah San asked.

“Not clear, at present, the occurrence frequency of the ‘void’ is irregular, and the secret needs to be uncovered by you.” Qiao Zhixue looked at them trustingly, “I really hope that one day you will become immensely strong and powerful enough to take me, I really hope I can enter the ‘void’ and explore the unknown world.”

Qiao Zhixue has great enthusiasm for the ‘void’, he doesn’t care whether he will die or not, and he is willing to take risks, it’s a pity that his wisdom is the treasure of the Ministry of State Security, and his superiors do not allow him to enter.

–

After the military training was over, the results were released as scheduled. Except for Tan Yan, who was guaranteed to enter the interest group, Qin Li passed the entrance examination, Liang Xian topped the list, and Cui Heyu came in second.

In the first-year special class, Qiu Qizheng, Yan Yongfeng, Zhang Jianshan, and You Xiangming also joined. Their grades are relatively low, and the top ones are all third-year students.

The interest group currently consists of 30 students, 8 of whom are first-year students, and the rest of the students are their seniors.

In fact, everyone signed up for the interest group out of curiosity. After all, the students in the special class have relatively complete plans for the future, they had already decided what they want to do after graduation as early as when they were in college, and then an interest group that the school seemed to attach great importance to suddenly appeared, it was also very mysterious, the teacher wouldn’t tell what the content of the future research would be, so many students tried to sign up.

First-year students are given additional questions on the preliminary exam, while other grades directly sign up for the written examination.

They are all excellent students, but whether they will be able to enter the ‘void’ in the future depends on the performance of the students in the future.

Now, more than what the interest group is studying, the students are more interested in Liang Xian and Cui He Yu, the first and second-ranked first-year students, whose presence makes the third-year and fourth-year students who have already been exposed to quantum mechanics feel very humiliated.

Ah San, as the nominal tutor of the interest group, intends to use Liang Xian to stimulate other students. Only competition can reveal a person’s potential and character. With Liang Xian’s character, he is a perfect target. Wasn’t Cui Heyu on the verge of anger every day after the result came out?

The interest group was reassigned to a new dormitory, Qiao Zhixue specially applied for a small building as the site of the interest group. Everyone moves in to live together, so there is no need to worry about Tan Yan and others being found going out in the middle of the night. Since there were six people in one dormitory, when assigning personnel, they arranged for Cui Heyu, Qiu Qizheng, Yan Yongfeng, and Liang Xian, who had already had some doubts about Tan Yan, in the same dormitory.

“Ptui!” Seeing Liang Xian after moving in, Cui Heyu immediately said, “Why didn’t Ke Hao join the interest group, this made our dormitory have an extra outsider.”

“It’s not that he didn’t want to take the test, he didn’t pass it,” Yan Yongfeng, lying on the bed, said, “Don’t forget who caused us to train for more than half a month. I almost vomited during the day, and how could I have the energy to read relevant knowledge at night? Really thought everyone had as much physical strength as me?”

“If I had known that I would share a dormitory with you, I would not have joined the interest group.” Cui Heyu rolled his eyes at Liang Xian.

Unfortunately, Liang Xian was not in the mood to pay attention to him, he was full of thoughts that from now on, he and Tan Yan would be in the same dormitory, eating and living together, this feeling was too good!

When moving the luggage, Liang Xian kept moving towards Tan Yan, but unfortunately, Tan Yan had very little luggage, so he picked it all up with one hand. On the contrary, Liang Xian has a lot of luggage and the books he bought recently are a big box. It was Tan Yan who helped him carry the box with his free hand.

In Tan Yan’s words, the bookcase is not heavy at all, it is the weight of knowledge, and he is willing to bear it.

The beds of Liang Xian and Tan Yan are facing each other, Liang Xian feels excited when he thinks that he can see Tan Yan every morning when he opens his eyes. He thought that he might not be able to sleep tonight, just looking at Tan Yan’s figure in the dark night could look for the whole night.

Thinking like this, Liang Xian didn’t care what Cui Heyu said at all. He happily waited until the lights were turned off at 10 o’clock in the evening, watching Tan Yan climb into bed in strict accordance with the routine, and then followed him into the opposite bed.

In the darkness, Tan Yan’s face looked extraordinarily white. Although he was already twenty-five or twenty-six years old, his face was so tender, and he looked younger than he himself.

He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, which can be described as sword eyebrows and starry eyes, but now those eyes are quietly closed, and the eyelashes hanging down long, shaking occasionally, making Liang Xian’s heart tremble.

It’s great to be in the same dormitory, even in the middle of the night, he can see Tan Yan’s face so clearly.

Wait, wait, the middle of the night?

Liang Xian sat up abruptly, looked at the surrounding environment, and only felt that it was pitch black, even if they had trained their night vision ability since childhood, they could only see roughly. Only when he saw Tan Yan’s face was it as clear as if a searchlight had hit Tan Yan’s face.

He suddenly remembered Tan Yan’s keen hearing in the real world. Could it be that he awakened his eyesight?

No, then why can I only see Tan Yan’s face?

Liang Xian jumped out of bed, walked to the window, stared at the opposite building, he stared wide-eyed and told himself in his mind, I want to see the opposite dormitory without the curtains drawn.

As he thought about this, he felt that the dormitory he was staring at seemed to be getting closer and closer, as if he was lying outside the other side’s window in a well-lit environment, and he could see several people in the dormitory clearly.

Liang Xian turned his head, this time, the dormitory was as bright as day in his eyes.

It’s not about having better vision, it’s about seeing clearly because he ‘wants’ to see.

When they do the test, they simply have a clear goal, that is, they ‘want’ to test their physical fitness level at this time, so the result is at a standard value because their physical fitness is not enhanced.

For example, jumping ability, what if he wanted to jump more than ten meters instead of testing physical fitness?

Liang Xian looked at the bed in front of him. Their beds were all upper bunks. Considering the height of the students, in order to avoid bumping their heads, they were all two meters high. Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible to jump up directly if one don’t have any leverage.

How about now?

Liang Xian thought, I want to jump on the bed lightly, without using any tools, and I won’t disturb other people after jumping on the bed, like…

Right, just like that day in the jungle, Tan Yan jumped on the tree, as light as a feline.

As he thought this, he bent his knees slightly and jumped as lightly as possible.

Then, Liang Xian felt as if something was supporting his body, allowing him to float onto the bed almost effortlessly and then fall down like a feather without making any sound.

There is no effort from the beginning to the end, as if the air is obeying the command of his own brain.

This is what Tan Yan said, the ability to feel the energy particles floating around.

Before Liang Xian could think about this matter clearly, his brain felt a tearing pain, as if the brain was split in half from the inside, stretching his brain nerves and making him want to hit the wall in pain.

At this moment, there was a soft knocking sound in the bedroom.

Liang Xian endured the pain and looked toward the source of the sound. It was Cui Heyu sitting in front of the computer, looking at Liang Xian with a blank face.

It turned out that Cui Heyu hadn’t been sleeping all this time, he took advantage of the lights out to connect the power cord so that the power limit did not control his computer. Just as he finished working under the mobile phone’s light, he got out from under the table and saw Liang Xian flying to the bed.

Cui Heyu opened his mouth wide and did not make a sound, but because he was too shocked, the sound of the screwdriver in his hand falling on the table alarmed Liang Xian.

Seeing Liang Xian looking at him, he rushed up to Liang Xian’s bed, grabbed his collar, and shouted: “How did you do it just now?”

Liang Xian was sweating from a headache, his lips were white, and his whole body was trembling, he felt that his brain was about to explode, after being shaken by Cui Heyu, he directly vomited all over him.

This movement alarmed everyone in the dormitory. Tan Yan opened his eyes and saw that Liang Xian looked like he was about to die, he didn’t get out of bed at all but jumped directly from his own bed to Liang Xian’s on the opposite side.

The upper bunk is about a meter and a half away from the ceiling, which is convenient for them to sit up, but they cannot stand. The distance between the two pairs of beds was at least three meters. Tan Yan didn’t use any assistance, and half-rising and half-kneeled and flew onto Liang Xian’s bed.

This is not the most frightening thing, the most terrifying thing is that, except for Liang Xian, the rest of the people did not notice the strangeness of this movement at all, including Cui Heyu, who saw Liang Xian’s movement just now.

Only Liang Xian, not only did he see the movement of Tan Yan, but he also felt something that the naked eye couldn’t detect.

There is some force that almost holds Tan Yan to come to him, Liang Xian couldn’t see it, but his brain could feel that there were countless chaotic things around him doing movements that only they understood.

“Ah…” When he thought about it, Liang Xian’s head hurt even more, and he finally couldn’t help shouting at this moment after enduring it all the time.

At this time, Tan Yan finally arrived beside Liang Xian. He ignored the vomit all over Liang Xian, held him in his arms, gently rubbed his temples with two fingers, and asked in a warm voice: “Do you have a headache?”

“Um…” Liang Xian buried his face in Tan Yan’s arms, it was so painful that physical tears flowed out.

“Don’t think about it.” Tan Yan said in his ear, “Don’t think about anything.”

His fingertips seemed to carry strength, gradually calming down the chaotic things in Liang Xian’s brain, the pain eased slightly, and Liang Xian heard Cui Heyu howling in agony: “Oh my God, did you throw up on me on purpose?”

When the dormitory was in chaos, the lights turned on. It turned out that Qiu Qizheng saw that Liang Xian was really not feeling well, so he immediately went to the teacher.

Ah San walked into the dormitory and carried Liang Xian out together with Tan Yan, Qin Li followed closely behind, leaving Cui Heyu all dirty.

Assistant teacher Chai also left tasks for the remaining people: “Clean up the dormitory, including Liang Xian’s bed.”

Cui Heyu: “…”

The remaining three had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and get up to clean up the filth. The bathroom was closed. Cui Heyu took the wash basin and washed his body with cold water in the washroom, rubbing Liang Xian’s bed sheets depressedly.

“Liang Xian is not feeling well, it’s fine if you don’t report it, why are you running to his bed?” Qiu Qizheng said with displeasure.

“I’m not, I didn’t,” Cui Heyu defend himself, “I just now saw…”

He saw Liang Xian seemed to be flying, but the light was too weak, he wasn’t sure if Liang Xian had installed some mechanism on the bed.

When they had time, they practiced setting traps in the dormitory, transformed it into a mess, and were punished by the instructor to run all day on an empty stomach. But intuition told Cui Heyu that Liang Xian didn’t set up any mechanism, and he ‘flew’ into bed with his own power.

“What are you thinking about?” Qiu Qizheng threw a towel on his wet head, “Washing in cold water, dry it quickly, Liang Xian is already sick, you can’t get sick too.”

“He doesn’t look sick…” Cui Heyu shook his head, “It’s more like…”

He’s being tortured.

They had undergone torture training, and Cui Heyu recalled Liang Xian’s expression at that time, it was as if someone was stimulating his brain with a strong electric current. But it’s different. Liang Xian’s degree of pain means that the electric current is strong enough to destroy his brain and even directly electrocute him to death, but he doesn’t.

“What exactly did you see?” Seeing his confused face, Qiu Qizheng also looks at this issue.

“I saw…” Cui Heyu recalled, “Liang Xian floated up from the ground, easily turned over in the air, and flew to the bed. I bet he doesn’t have any mechanism on his bed, he doesn’t use any leverage… no, no force at all, just floats up.”

Qiu Qizheng: “Are you sure you saw it clearly? The lights were already turned off.”

“I…” When Qiu Qizheng asked this question, Cui and Yu were also unsure, “It’s reasonable to say that the indoor environment is so dark, and my eyes have just been stimulated by the light of the mobile phone flashlight, when I suddenly look into the dark environment, it is indeed easy to overlook something, and even have illusions under the change of light and dark.”

“Ask Liang Xian if you have a chance in the future, clean up the dormitory first, and we will go to visit the sick tomorrow.” Qiu Qizheng helps the frozen Cui Heyu dry his hair.

–

Liang Xian got better under Tan Yan’s comfort. The doctor put glucose on him and said to several people who were waiting with bated breath: “There is nothing wrong with his body, all indicators are normal, I can only help him replenish the lost water, why does this happen suddenly… Is it a sequela of rapid regeneration?”

This doctor participated in the rescue last time, so he is considered a half-informed person. Considering the future, Minister Yu arranged for him to be a school doctor at the Central Military Academy, which just came in handy.

“Probably.” Tan Yan, who has always been silent, responded, “I’ve been in this situation before.”

When he said that, everyone was relieved, Qin Li pointed to himself and asked: “Then I will too?”

“More or less.”

Intermittent headaches may occur after awakening ability——There is another record in Qiao Zhixue’s notebook.

“Tan Yan said that Liang Xian is fine, everyone go to rest, he can accompany the patient on the bed.”

In this situation, Tan Yan is indeed the most experienced, and Liang Xian’s condition does not look bad, and he really doesn’t need emergency care. Qiao Zhixue and the doctor drew blood for him and left.

Before leaving, Ah San asked: “Why I don’t have a headache?”

“Maybe your brain is not as awakened as Liang Xian,” Qiao Zhixue said, “He has 40%.”

Ah San grimaced, still a little worse than this kid.

After everyone left, Liang Xian, who was still in a coma just now, slowly opened his eyes.

He used his power in this world just now, and his brain was in severe pain. Now his brain is blank, and he feels overdrawn. Liang Xian did not think that this was a warning that he was breaking the rules in a place where he couldn’t use his powers, rather, it was his first time using his powers, and he didn’t have a good grasp of the proportion, this kind of pain is caused by the brain exceeding the limit.

But this conjecture can only be confirmed in another world.

There is another question, Cui Heyu obviously saw him flying, but he didn’t feel too surprised when Tan Yan flew over.

It seems that no one is aware of Tan Yan’s movement except him.

‘Consciousness’, ‘observation’, ‘brain’…

The human brain only sees what it wants to see. People often ignore things in front of them. This is a visual blind spot, and it’s also a subconscious neglect of the brain.

Can he understand it that way? Everyone’s consciousness is unable to capture the unusual movements of Tan Yan, only he, who has just awakened his powers, in that moment, his brain observed the movements of Tan Yan.

The power they awaken is not physical ability but the development of the brain, the human brain observation is controlled by their consciousness, Tan Yan is a standard materialist, believes that the real world does not have gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters, and there will be no supernatural powers, he believes that the ability to awaken in the other world can only be used in the world beyond the ‘void’.

Tan Yan wasn’t aware that he could use his abilities in the real world, he didn’t lie.

Even Liang Xian himself, if he hadn’t suddenly realized that he was looking at Tan Yan in the dark, he wouldn’t be able to discover this secret.

At present, the organization takes a wait-and-see attitude towards them because their power can only be used in the other world, once the organization discovers that the ability can be used in the real world, this expectation will only be added to the surveillance.

People are afraid of power beyond common sense.

Can’t let other people ‘conscious’ that you can use abilities in the real world.

After Liang Xian secretly made up his mind, he slowly closed his eyes.

The author has something to say:

Descartes: What did I say? I am the spiritual teacher of this article!

I will slowly explain about the ability in the future, but when it comes to explaining the principle of the ability… everyone can’t understand it.

Then don’t try to understand, anyway, just remember, how far the thought can go is how far the action can be, this article uses quantum mechanics to explain all things beyond common sense, pseudoscience.
