Five minutes later, the doctor bowed respectfully to the middle-aged noblewoman and said, "Madam, please rest assured, this young lady is in good condition. There are no signs of infection from the remnants, nor has she been violated. She only has some superficial injuries, none of which are serious. With the internal and external application of the medicine developed by our Academy of Sciences, she will recover quickly without leaving any scars."
The noblewoman, wearing a deep purple pearl-embroidered veil, breathed a sigh of relief and clasped her hands together in prayer, "May Buddha bless us! Praise the Holy Church!"
Hearing this, the doctor bowed even lower.
A middle-aged woman, resembling a housekeeper, walked over to the doctor and said with a smile, "Doctor Zhang, this way please. And the prescription drugs, please prescribe a little more."
"Understood, understood, right away!" The doctor was even more humble, almost trembling as he backed out of the room.
He wrote out the prescription outside, prescribing three times the usual dosage, before being sent out of the detached villa and onto a small private aircraft that could fly automatically.
This small private aircraft had brought him here.
The private aircraft quietly took off from the spot, rose into the night sky, made a very smooth turn, and then, as if out of control, flew straight towards the Exotic Beast Forest north of Mulan City.
Before long, a raging fire lit up the sky above the Exotic Beast Forest. The small private aircraft exploded and fell from the sky.
The only passenger inside, Doctor Zhang, died in the aircraft, burned beyond recognition.
Inside the detached villa, a virtual screen hung in the air in front of the veiled noblewoman, broadcasting the explosion and crash of the small private aircraft.
She nodded calmly and instructed the people behind her, "Those who went to the small building today must also be eliminated, leaving none alive."
The female housekeeper behind the noblewoman curtsied and left to take care of the matter.
Before long, she returned to the bedroom and whispered in the noblewoman's ear, "...It's all been taken care of. Everyone, including the twenty-three young boys and girls who were also abducted, and the subordinates and bodyguards who went to the small building with you today, are all dead."
The veiled noblewoman sighed softly and said to the female housekeeper, "...You have been with me since childhood. I am entrusting her to you. Can you guarantee that such a thing will not happen a second time?"
The female housekeeper trembled all over, then revealed a look of ecstasy. She knelt on one knee in front of the noblewoman, took the noblewoman's hand and kissed it, saying, "Madam, rest assured! You have entrusted the young lady to me! I will protect her with my life!"
The noblewoman nodded calmly, "I believe you."
She continued to ask, "Have those family members who were previously with the young lady been dealt with?"
"...After the young lady disappeared and was abducted, they were all arrested by your subordinate."
"Well, now that the young lady has been found, there is no need to keep these people, including their relatives. Within three generations, all are to be executed. Those who betray us deserve this fate."
"Yes, Madam."
The veiled noblewoman stood up and walked around the quiet bedroom, her brow furrowed slightly, "...There is one more thing."
"Please instruct, Madam."
"Who was it that entered the small building before us today and killed those traffickers? These people must also be eliminated. In short, apart from the two of us, no one can know about the young lady's abduction."
The female housekeeper's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "Madam, according to the information we have received, it should be someone from the Dark Night Hunter Association. Do you really want to take action against them?"
"Hunters? They are just a bunch of lowlifes who trade their lives for money." The noblewoman's worried expression suddenly relaxed, "I thought it was someone from the Special Security Bureau. It's good that it's not the Special Security Bureau. Go and make arrangements."
The female housekeeper bowed and agreed.
But just as she was about to leave, the veiled noblewoman stopped her again, her eyes flickering, and said softly, "It's still better not to offend that group of lunatics from the Dark Night Hunter Association. How about this, find a Mental Strength expert with a high Gene Evolution level, and have them deliver a fatal blow without leaving any traces."
The female housekeeper nodded in understanding, "Understood, Madam, rest assured, even I will not personally come forward. I will definitely make sure that this matter has nothing to do with us."
The noblewoman nodded slightly with satisfaction, arrogantly and without any psychological pressure, waving her hand as if she were disposing of a group of insignificant livestock.
...
At this time, Xia Chujian was waiting for Ye Shijie and the others to come out at the entrance of the Dark Night Hunter Association's Mulan City branch hall.
They did not exchange their Rank B merit points for cash like Xia Chujian, but instead exchanged them for alien weapons and Mental Strength training time.
"Let's go, we'll send Chujian home first." Ye Shijie waved to them and jumped into their team's small combat aircraft.
Of their team of five, only Xia Chujian lived in the North District. The other four lived in the West District.
Xia Chujian also followed Li Fu, Song Mingqian, and Ping Qiong into the aircraft.
Her home address had long been entered into the aircraft's address bar. All she had to do was select the address and let the aircraft autopilot.
The aircraft's translucent flight cover slowly closed, and a burst of white smoke spewed from the tail, rising into the air and quickly entering stealth mode.
There were quite a few private aircraft in Mulan City, but combat aircraft were not common, so they usually entered stealth mode to fly over the city.
This time, just like usual, after setting up the autopilot, everyone started doing their own thing.
Ye Shijie took out a shield he had just exchanged for, which seemed capable of withstanding a blow from a Rank B peak Mental Strength expert.
Li Fu exchanged for Mental Strength duration, as he urgently needed to train his Mental Strength in order to advance to D-Rank.
Song Mingqian and Ping Qiong both exchanged for a pair of long boots, said to be made from the fur of a Gale Wind Beast. Wearing them, their running speed could be twice as fast as their original speed.
Everyone was now taking out the treasures they had exchanged for with merit points to share, and they could borrow each other's items during missions.
Xia Chujian never participated in these exchange activities, because she was not a Gene Evolutionist, nor did she have Mental Strength. These things were useless to her.
But listening to their murmuring voices was very comforting, allowing her to escape from the "visual pollution" of seeing those disgusting tentacles earlier.
She crossed her arms, leaned against the co-pilot's seat in the aircraft, looked at the night sky outside through the translucent flight shield, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved up.
The aircraft traveled smoothly and quickly in the night sky.
Suddenly, Xia Chujian sat up straight, leaned forward to look below the aircraft, and said vigilantly, "That's not right, this isn't the way to my house."
Her home was in the North District, and the Dark Night Hunter Association's branch in Mulan City was located in the Central District of Mulan City, so they should be flying north.
But now they were flying south, and below the aircraft was the most chaotic and darkest South District of Mulan City! As everyone knew, humans with even a little economic strength would not live in the South District.
Xia Chujian turned her head, wanting to remind the team leader, Ye Shijie, who was sitting in the pilot's seat.
But she suddenly realized that the cabin was incredibly quiet.
Just now, there were clearly the noisy voices of Ping Qiong and Song Mingqian, as well as Li Fu's flattering remarks to Ye Shijie.
As if in an instant, all these voices were gone.
She looked at the team leader, Ye Shijie, sitting in the pilot's seat.
His face was flushed, his hands stretched forward, as if he wanted to touch something, but he couldn't move at all.
He stared at the aircraft's display screen, his eyes almost popping out.
Looking at the three people in the back row.
Li Fu and Ping Qiong had already closed their eyes and slumped in their seats, seemingly passed out.
Song Mingqian also had his eyes closed, but under his eyelids, it was clear that his eyeballs were trying to move, wanting to open them, but unable to do so.
Xia Chujian's heart sank. She reached out and pushed the team leader, Ye Shijie, in the pilot's seat next to her, and said loudly, "Captain! Captain! Can you hear me?"
Ye Shijie only nodded heavily, as if he had exhausted all his Mental Strength, then his head tilted and he passed out as well.
Xia Chujian didn't know what had happened to these four teammates, but she also understood that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it.
When your teammates are unconscious and your aircraft is out of control, what you should do is not panic, scream, complain, or scold, but immediately save yourself.
In an emergency, Xia Chujian kicked the emergency button at Ye Shijie's feet near the pilot's seat.
With a creak, the pilot's seat rose up, then quickly slid to the top of Xia Chujian's co-pilot seat along the base's track.
Xia Chujian also pressed the emergency button on the co-pilot's seat at the same time, taking the opportunity to slide her seat to the pilot's seat.
This was one of the emergency devices of this type of small combat aircraft. When the pilot had a problem, the position could be immediately exchanged with the co-pilot through the aircraft's lifting and sliding device.
Xia Chujian changed from the co-pilot to the pilot, immediately manually controlled the console, and stopped the autopilot function.
Once the autopilot was cut off, the aircraft would automatically cancel its stealth state until the stealth control was manually turned on again.
Xia Chujian had to take over, otherwise, once the automatic flight stopped, the aircraft could only fall down like a meteorite.
And just as she cut off the autopilot function, the aircraft did drop straight down for a second, instantly falling more than 50 meters.
But Xia Chujian quickly got the hang of it, and with a series of emergency pulls, she pulled the aircraft back up.
Fortunately, it was only two o'clock in the morning, and there were almost no other aircraft in the sky above the city, so there was no need to worry about colliding with other aircraft.
So, after a brief period of frantic activity, she stabilized the aircraft.
Where should she fly?
Xia Chujian's first reaction was that the aircraft had malfunctioned, and her four teammates also had health emergencies. At this time, she had to fly to the Dark Night Hunter Association's branch in Mulan City, that is, turn around and fly north.
There were both mechanics who repaired aircraft and senior doctors who specialized in treating Gene Evolutionists.
She gripped the controls of the aircraft and began a series of sharp turns in the air.
Her turns were so quick and sharp that she sped forward a kilometer in no time.
"Ouch! What's happening?! My head!" This was Song Mingqian's pained cry.
"Someone's attacking… Chujian… quick… run…" Ye Shijie also briefly regained consciousness, giving Xia Chujian instructions in fits and starts.
Xia Chujian gasped, "Someone's attacking?! Who?!"
"Mental Strength expert…" Ye Shijie said before passing out again.
Song Mingqian in the back seat also fell silent, clearly unconscious again.
Xia Chujian felt a fire ignite in her heart, anxious and angry.
She remembered the "tentacles" with supposedly powerful Mental Strength that she encountered at the six-story building today, the ones that had knocked out her teammates in an instant.
Could it be that the tentacles were causing trouble again? Were they taking revenge because she had killed their kind?
The thought flashed through Xia Chujian's mind, but she dismissed it.
Because she remembered very clearly that those 'tentacles' wouldn't interfere with the aircraft's autopilot! Otherwise, how could she have piloted the aircraft alive to rescue her teammates?
If it wasn't the tentacles, then it could only be a human "Mental Strength expert".
But even among normal humans, could a Mental Strength expert interfere with an aircraft's autopilot using Mental Strength?! Unheard of!
Right now, her entire team was on the aircraft, and she had to manually pilot it. The situation was even worse than when she was dealing with those disgusting tentacles in front of the six-story building.
Xia Chujian was extremely anxious.
She concentrated her efforts, contacting the base while focusing on piloting, wanting to fly back to the Dark Night Hunter Association's base in Mulan City as quickly as possible.
How could she possibly deal with those Gene Evolution Mental Strength experts alone in mid-air?!
She didn't have any Mental Strength at all…
But the communication seemed to be cut off, and she couldn't contact the ground control system at the base.
It seemed someone had come prepared!
In desperation, Xia Chujian could only put on her helmet and turn on the soundproofing equipment again.
Knowing that doing so would have no effect against Mental Strength attacks, she had no other choice.
Fortunately, she hadn't been rendered unconscious like her teammates, at least for now.
...
Just as she accelerated, about ten kilometers behind her in mid-air, a shuttle-shaped aircraft gradually revealed itself.
The person inside the shuttle-shaped aircraft softly "eh"ed, seemingly surprised that someone he had crushed with his Mental Strength could still pilot an aircraft.
But only a dozen seconds had passed, and that aircraft had widened the distance between them.
It seemed he had to take a two-pronged approach.
The person's eyes narrowed slightly, and he snorted, ruthlessly pressing the missile launch button on his aircraft.
He wasn't worried that the people on that aircraft would contact the ground, because his shuttle-shaped aircraft had very advanced electromagnetic shielding equipment, which had long shielded electromagnetic waves within a fifty-mile radius.
The other party couldn't send out any distress signals at all. Only he could bypass the shielding and contact the ground.
But he didn't need to contact the ground either. He was a Gene Evolutionist, and also a Rank C peak Mental Strength expert. He only needed to synchronize the video to the Star Network's cloud system as evidence to collect the final payment.
According to the information he had received, there were four Gene Evolutionists in the team in the aircraft ahead, but only two D-Ranks and two E-Ranks, and there was no need to mention the ordinary person.
In short, for him, a Rank C peak expert, killing D-Ranks and E-Ranks was as easy as slaughtering pigs and dogs, so there was no need for so much trouble.
"Goodbye." He sneered, looking at the small combat aircraft in front, and even waved his hand.
At this moment, Xia Chujian's aircraft issued a frantic lock-on warning.
A red missile model was circled on the locked position on her aircraft's dashboard.
A series of urgent electronic simulation sounds echoed in the narrow space of Xia Chujian's small aircraft.
*"Aircraft locked by missile!"*
"The aircraft is locked on by a missile!"
"Missile impact on locked target in ten seconds!"
