Chapter 191: Dark Water
Upon hearing these words, Chen Mu frowned slightly.
It seemed that these two individuals were indeed a time bomb. Even if they were not spies, harboring them could still bring trouble. What if Qingbei came looking for them? Should they hand them over or not?
"It's getting late," Tang Jing suggested, "Regardless of the situation, let's finish our meal first."
"Agreed," Dong Junwei nodded.
There were still many questions to ask about Qingbei, but it was evident that both of them were getting tired after the interrogation that lasted for over an hour.
After the meal, the five of them gathered to discuss the matter.
Since it was no trivial issue, Wei Dalei was also brought in for the discussion.
"Chen Mu, what do you think?" Dong Junwei naturally sought Chen Mu's opinion in external affairs. After all, harboring these two individuals might provoke Qingbei, leading to potential conflict.
"The importance of these two individuals is self-evident, and it would be a waste to let them go," Chen Mu said.
"But we are afraid that Qingbei might come looking for them," He Ying expressed her concerns, "We are already at war with Yi Zhong, is it wise to provoke another adversary?"
"We have already provoked what we needed to provoke. With Qingbei's ambitions, even without any excuse, they will sooner or later target us. We cannot bet our peace on the mercy of our adversaries," Chen Mu thought, reflecting on how he had initially insisted that Qingbei was not an enemy, but now, even he found it hard to believe his own change of perspective.
"What Chen Mu says is right," Tang Jing added, "In fact, I wanted to say the same thing. Even if Qingbei doesn't provoke us, we will eventually have to provoke them."
"Huh?" He Ying was taken aback.
"We can't be trapped here forever. If we want to develop, population is crucial. The school can only accommodate so many people. Absorbing Qingbei's population is the most cost-effective solution, but they started making trouble themselves."
In truth, Tang Jing had expressed similar thoughts long before, but back then, no one paid much attention or thought it was too far-fetched.
However, now that Qingbei's people were actively coming to join Qiming, it inevitably stirred up thoughts in people's minds.
Perhaps Tang Jing's idea had some real potential.
"We also need to be cautious about these two individuals. If they set off a betrayal, things could get ugly," Chen Mu added.
"I will take care of that," Tang Jing said with a slight smile.
With her assurance, Chen Mu and the others felt relieved.
...
An Ruosu and Yang Li watched the entire territory of Qiming with astonishment on their faces.
Several rooms that were completely indistinguishable from before;
Beds made;
Tables, chairs, and stools;
Bathrooms and toilets;
Even paper and pens were provided.
These familiar yet unfamiliar things made them feel as if they had returned to the time before they were shrunk.
"How do they do it?"
"There's an esper in Qingbei whose palms can generate high temperatures, and he uses his hands to cook the food."
"This should be considered a combat-type ability, right?" Chen Mu asked curiously.
"Uh... When he heats his palms, he has to maintain a certain position and can't move..."
"That..." The more they knew about esper abilities, the more they discovered the various quirky and seemingly strong but restricted powers, which became somewhat laughable.
Like this person.
Clearly, he was like a human stove.
"Just relying on him alone can cook for over 200 people?"
"In fact, only a small number of people can eat the food prepared this way. For the rest, there are other methods."
"What methods?"
"For example, there's someone with an ability similar to sterilization. Food processed by him, although not cooked, won't cause illness if eaten raw; there's also someone with an ability resembling material conversion. He can turn any living thing into a black liquid. Drinking it is equivalent to eating that living thing."
When An Ruosu spoke these last few sentences, she seemed conflicted.
"Is the liquid not good-tasting?" Chen Mu noticed her expression.
"It tastes awful, like traditional Chinese medicine."
"But it can stave off hunger?"
"Yes." An Ruosu nodded, "For example, if he turns a grasshopper's leg into a large pot of black water, everyone just needs to share the water, and it's like eating grasshopper meat."
After hearing this, Chen Mu felt quite moved.
Just as Tang Jing had said before, esper abilities come in all sorts of bizarre forms, leaving people bewildered.
Turning food into medicinal soup.
While this ability was undoubtedly practical, there was a sense of helplessness when thinking about it.
However...
If the abilities really don't repeat, then this situation is understandable.
