Chapter 199: Accompanying

"His strength suddenly disappeared one minute after entering the medical room. After it disappeared, a substance suddenly appeared on his body, and he kept saying it was very itchy. All kinds of insects in our lab were attracted and flew onto him.

He kept screaming and cursing Ji Tianlin and Xu Mingyue, seemingly in great pain! We had just approached and hadn't yet figured out what it was when that substance seemed to vanish from his body, and he no longer attracted insects.

But he was still cursing Ji Tianlin and Xu Mingyue, cursing while crying about the itch. We couldn't stop him. The moment an assistant touched him, he howled!

According to the latest review, based on his behavior we can infer that his pain sensation was amplified many times over! As for the itch, we haven't found the cause. In reality, his body is perfectly normal!"

"Pain and itch?"

"If the video content you showed us is accurate, we speculate that this pain and itching should be aftereffects of using immense strength!"

If these were aftereffects, they weren't severe. Compared to saving his life, any aftereffects short of death were acceptable!

The old commander looked at the person in charge before him. "Are you certain the factor that increased his strength has truly disappeared?"

"It disappeared suddenly at the time. We only managed to collect a small amount of fluctuation data and are missing a lot of data! All the usable data is in the report. Unless it happens again, we can't collect more data, nor can we analyze the cause."

Let alone mass-producing something that could give people strength on the level of Ji Shouguo.

"Huh? Uncle, what's wrong?"

【666! He really doesn't seem very bright! No wonder he gets completely played by his eldest son's family!】

【Using it for interrogation under torture on criminals? Aren't they afraid the criminal would wreck the cell and escape?】

【Interrogation under torture, daily hunting, sabotaging certain people's romantic progress, trapping enemies, extreme counter-kills... there are plenty of uses!】

Wulongcha had leaned in for a look at the time. After Ji Shouguo passed out, if he hadn't still been breathing, he truly looked like he was dead—his face completely peaceful.

【Is he still there now?】

【After using the Great Strength Card, there are many things it can't break through: magic barriers, mental attacks, illusions, curse runes, bestial divine abilities... Even in an ordinary plane, you could chop off the target's limbs first, then interrogate. The Hosts must have thought it through before using the card.】

【Then how does sabotaging certain people's romantic progress work? It's only ten minutes—whether used on a man or a woman, it can be explained away!】

Even if the CEO didn't die on the spot and the secretary was charged with intentional homicide, nothing romantic could develop between them anymore, right?】

"I'll have a chat with them!"

Discovering his own abnormality and still delivering himself into someone else's hands! Now it all worked out—he was after free top-tier medical care, and they were after a free test subject. A mutual arrangement!

【He's probably lost consciousness. Because of his earlier weakness period, his senses were too sensitive, bouncing back and forth between passing out from pain and waking up from itch. After the card's effect wore off, he was overstimulated and passed out completely!】

The first half was recorded reality; the second half was Wulongcha's own speculation.

If Ji Shouguo was willing to cooperate with the research, going against conscience to help him scold Ji Tianlin wouldn't be a problem at all!

……

"Then let him try again! Check what things he came into contact with today!"

【Indeed! If the CEO had an aftereffect like that, she'd probably just want to torture him to death!】

【Yes!】

【Combined, the effect is quite good! The main thing is the Great Strength Card's weakening effect works well! Those ten minutes of increased strength are a bit of a waste! What do other Hosts use a card like the Great Strength Card for?】

Wulongcha pulled up an example. 【After using the Great Strength Card, a somewhat ditzy and cute secretary accidentally bumped into the CEO's arms, and the CEO was sent flying several meters away on the spot.

"Xiao Yu!"

Su Yu was very curious. If this card were used on herself, she couldn't even imagine it! Using it on the Host themself wasn't cost-effective—it had to be used on others. Didn't that make it rather useless? The twenty minutes of weakness after the Great Strength Card were indeed torturous, but the ten minutes of immense strength beforehand were also quite tempting!

"But Commander, his family is making a fuss about taking him away."

【Scared me!】

"Are you still full? Want to go another round?"

Su Yu shook her head.

"Then let's go back!"

Su Yu followed Su Xi back to the villa. Su Xi started a video conference, and she played Sudoku beside him.

After finishing a meeting, Su Xi took a sip of water and opened his phone to reply to messages. "Xiao Yu, your mom and dad are back!"

Su Yu quickly tidied up her things and ran while calling out, "Thank you, Uncle! I'm going to find Mommy!"

As soon as Su Yu left Su Xi's room, she shouted, "Mommy!"

Su Yu didn't hear Ji Yan's response. With a clear destination in mind, she took the elevator to the second floor and ran toward the music room.

She pressed open the small window on the door. "Mommy!"

"Mommy's here!"

The music room door opened automatically. Su Yu ran over skillfully and stuffed herself into Ji Yan's lap as Ji Yan sat on the piano bench.

"Mommy, I missed you so much!"

Su Yu nuzzled her big head against Ji Yan's chest. Ji Yan held her close, lowered her head, and the two pressed cheek to cheek. "Mommy missed you too! Did you eat your meals like a good girl?"

"Yes! And I want to wait for you to have a late-night snack together!"

"Mommy isn't hungry. Is my baby hungry?"

"Not hungry anymore!"

Su Yi, sitting right beside them:... What, am I invisible?

"You're too heavy, don't squish your mommy. Come down quickly!"

Su Yu pretended not to hear. "Mommy, I'm sleepy, I want to take a bath~"

【Can't hear a thing! I love taking baths, my body feels great!】

"Alright, Mommy will take you to wash up!"

Su Yu refused to get down and walk on her own. Ji Yan skillfully carried her out.

"We're going to take a bath!"

After washing up, Su Yu still refused to sleep. She clung to Ji Yan, wanting her to tell a story. "Baby, what do you want to hear?"

"I want to hear Mommy say she'll sleep with me tonight!"

【Host, you're so childish! How old are you, still wanting Mommy to sleep with you!】

Hmph! I'm just a kid; I'm only three years old! What's wrong with a three‑year‑old needing Mom to sleep with me? No matter how old I get, I can still have Mom sleep with me!

Su Yu's big, watery eyes looked pleadingly at Ji Yan, and Ji Yan sighed and nodded, "Alright, then Mom will go get the clothes!"

"Oh yeah! Long live Mom! mua~"

Ji Yan patted Su Yu's head and said, "You, huh!"

Ji Yan went back to fetch the clothes and quickly returned to Su Yu's room to sleep with her. The remaining Su Yi stayed in Ji Yan's room, gloomily staring at the ceiling, repeatedly murmuring, "She's still a child," and fell asleep very late.

Su Yi didn't wake up until near noon the next day; after struggling to wash up on his own, he rode his intelligent wheelchair downstairs, saw the four children in the living room, and was startled, "Butler, who are they?"

He remembered there was only Su Yu at home, so how did three more appear after one night?

After the butler introduced the identities of the children to Su Yi, he added, "Miss Liang Yan and Miss Tang Can are guests invited by Miss Xiao Yu; Miss Guoguo's parents are still in the medical room; the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Mistress are accompanying them."

"Accompanying them? Did something happen to them?"
