Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 477: Chapter 188: Revealing the Transcendent in the Bustling Market

”Humanoid Weapon?”

Yu Jianhong had spoken.

The deputy paused for a moment, then inquired, ”What do you mean? Have you been conducting human experiments?”

”No, no, we wouldn’t dare,” Yu Jianhong quickly replied.

Such things were taboo. Even as an army colonel from Nanyun, he couldn’t handle the consequences.

”Commander, the Humanoid Weapon I’m talking about is nothing like a human experiment. It’s legitimate. Do you remember the drug trafficker attack that happened here three days ago?”

Hearing Yu Jianhong’s reference to the incident, the deputy said, ”I know about it. Are these two matters related?”

”Yes, Commander,” Yu Jianhong continued. ”I heard from Colonel Huo Honghao from the Shishi military district that the one who killed those drug traffickers was a single person!”

”I was skeptical about this at first and didn’t believe it.”

”But today, after the autopsy results came out, I found that what Huo Honghao said could very well be true!”

”Only one of the drug traffickers died from a gunshot wound; the causes of death for the others were very strange.”

”They were neither knife wounds nor gunshot wounds—utterly bizarre!”

”I’ve sent the file to you. Please take a look.”

As he rattled on, Yu Jianhong explained the entire situation from his end and sent over the autopsy report he had.

On the other end of the phone, the deputy listened to Yu Jianhong’s explanation and looked at the message that had come through. His curiosity piqued, he stared intently at the report.

After reviewing the entire autopsy report for quite some time, a befuddled expression, identical to Yu Jianhong’s earlier one, appeared on his face!

The call was still connected. The deputy asked Yu Jianhong directly, ”Colonel Yu, what’s this all about? Was the person who wrote this autopsy report drunk?”

Otherwise, how could they write something so preposterous!

Yu Jianhong wasn’t surprised by the reaction, replying, ”Commander, you jest. You know the kind of standards we uphold in our forces. I can swear on my life that these reports were written by people who were completely sober!”

”This...”

Yu Jianhong’s response left the deputy speechless.

Taking a deep breath to compose himself, the deputy asked, ”So, Colonel Yu, this is why you’re suggesting we include this person in the military arms evaluation and refer to him as a Humanoid Weapon?”

”Yes, Commander. If what Colonel Huo Honghao says is true, then this Zhang Beixing is very peculiar, which is why I propose letting him participate in the military arms evaluation! Of course, it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, and whether it’s necessary is still unknown,” Yu Jianhong explained his thoughts.

”I see...”

The deputy trailed off with that remark and then went silent. The matter was truly inconceivable. And to consider a person for evaluation alongside weaponry was unprecedented. Is it necessary? Or rather, are they qualified? He needed to give it some serious thought.

Yu Jianhong understood this and didn’t press, patiently waiting instead.

Moments later, the deputy spoke up, asking an unrelated question, ”Colonel Yu, did you thank them after dealing with that drug trafficking gang?”

”Not yet. Why?”

”Nothing much. It’s just that, with something like this happening, it wouldn’t be right not to thank them. Why don’t you call them now to set up a dinner meeting? I’ll be heading your way soon regarding the drug traffickers’ case, and I can take the opportunity to meet this Great Grandmaster Zhang Beixing,” the deputy said.

Hearing is believing, after all, he mused. He was determined to go and see for himself.

If Zhang Beixing were indeed as Yu Jianhong described, then he certainly warranted serious attention!

Yu Jianhong naturally understood his meaning and nodded repeatedly, ”Alright, Commander. I’ll go make the call and touch base with you later by phone.”

”Mm.”

The deputy acknowledged before disconnecting the call.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Yu Jianhong exhaled. After a short break, he picked up the phone again to dial Huo Honghao’s number.

At that moment, after dismissing the men from the drill, Huo Honghao was wandering aimlessly around the outpost.

Unintentionally, he found himself by the lake where Zhang Beixing had previously fought the drug traffickers.

Zhang Beixing was right there, holding his phone, head down, and tinkering with something.

Huo Honghao moved closer to take a look and saw that Zhang Beixing was constructing some kind of model on his phone.

The model was marked with numerous points and lines, corresponding to the acupoints and meridians within the human body. These acupoints and meridians were also covered in different colors, representing the application of the Postnatal Five Qi.

Ever since killing that criminal gang three days ago, Zhang Beixing had been completely engrossed whenever he had a spare moment, tinkering with this.

If it were anyone else doing this, Huo Honghao would have just thought they were playing around. But this was Zhang Beixing!

Recalling how Zhang Beixing had miraculously stood on the water’s surface without sinking, practically walking on water three days before, Huo Honghao sensed that what Zhang Beixing was tinkering with was undoubtedly extraordinary!

Standing behind Zhang Beixing and watching him configure the pathways for the Postnatal Five Qi on his phone, Huo Honghao, though he couldn’t understand it, couldn’t help but exclaim in awed confusion, ”Awesome!”

”Brother Zhang, I haven’t asked you these past few days—what is this thing you’re tinkering with? Is it the Lightness Technique?”

”Yes,” Zhang Beixing replied without raising his head. This was precisely what he had been working on for the past few days.

Upon hearing this, Huo Honghao became visibly excited.
