Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 103: Origin Release

Meanwhile, sitting in the cafeteria wrestling with a spoon and his uncontrollably trembling right hand, Pei Yan had no idea about the earth-shattering changes happening within the agency nor that his sister, whom he thought was thousands of miles away, was actually in the same building.

Through the glass, Pei Jin looked at her once athletic and energetic brother, now struggling even with eating, and her eyes reddened as she clenched her fists, casting a sharp glance at Yuan Shaoqing beside her.

Feeling the powerful energy emanating from the woman beside him, Yuan Shaoqing quickly waved his hand and said, "It’s not our fault. It was Shen Yu who acted against him. We did everything we could to rescue him."

"Tell me his name! Who is it?" Pei Jin demanded coldly.

Yuan Shaoqing furrowed his brows at her demeanor and adjusted his tone to speak solemnly, "I advise you not to ask too many questions. I understand your abilities are significant, but there is an unbridgeable gap between you and him. Moreover, as per our agreement, you are to return to a normal life, complying with everything that ’that person’ has planned for you. We will do our utmost to ensure your brother’s safety. If needed, our director will contact you secretly."

"I hope you’ll keep your promise!"

"Absolutely!"

Receiving Yuan Shaoqing’s firm assurance, Pei Jin looked through the window at her brother in the cafeteria, sighed heavily, and prepared to leave. Just then, something happened to Pei Yan!

After splashing himself several times while sipping soup, Pei Yan, agitated, slammed the table with his hand, attracting the attention of everyone around. At that moment, a cerulean essence, as if summoned by a similar energy, burst out and enveloped Pei Yan.

This time, unlike when his consciousness was asleep and his body out of control, Pei Yan was surprisingly lucid! The essence, after surfacing, didn’t go berserk and spill out but clung gently to his body.

"An internal release to external flow!" Pei Yan exclaimed joyfully, looking at his body and slowly closing his eyes. In this instant, he sensed the entire building, no! The entire street’s electronic devices, technological products bowing to him; all he would need to do was slightly move his hand to easily control everything.

Suddenly, Pei Yan opened his eyes and abruptly turned to the glass window on the roof. Though it was empty now, it felt as though something there had just been calling out to him.

Just as he was about to employ his power to investigate, his thoughts were interrupted by Wang Wenze, who smacked him and exclaimed, "Wow, internal release to external flow! Quickly, tell me how it feels? Have you felt your power responding?"

"What? What are you talking about?" Pei Yan asked blankly, his mind a jumble from the sudden interruption.

"I asked if you felt your power responding," Wang Wenze inquired, shaking Pei Yan’s shoulder with a frown.

Pei Yan came to his senses, looked upstairs wistfully, and sighed before glancing at his own hands. "I don’t know if I felt a real response from my power. I didn’t catch any, what’d you call it, names popping into my head, but I did feel every technological device on this street, and I think I can control them at will."

"That’s amazing! Your power is practically godlike in this world! Don’t worry; with that feeling, you’re not far from truly mastering your ability." Wang Wenze exclaimed, his mouth agape, and clapped Pei Yan on the shoulder excitedly!

On the other hand, Mei Simiao, hurriedly arriving after hearing the news, passed by Yuan Shaoqing asked quietly, "How did it go?"

"It was approved by you, she wanted to take a look at her brother, and unexpectedly that kid’s essence externalized," Yuan Shaoqing replied in a low voice.

Mei Simiao asked, "Did he notice?"

"No, possibly just an instinctual awareness. My source is well hidden. Sorry for the trouble, I’ll leave now." Pei Jin said, lowering her voice, her head tucked into the hood of a casual men’s jacket.

"It’s not related to you. His ability to externalize may not be a bad thing; rest assured, everything is within the plan. To prevent such incidents, I have preemptively shut down all electronic surveillance along your path. Shaoqing, follow the set route to take Miss Pei away."

"Understood."

After dinner, Pei Yan and Wang Wenze, who were summoned to the office due to the externalized essence, received some comforting words from Elder Lin and Gu Shenghui. Upon leaving, Elder Lin directly disclosed the phone bug present on Wang Wenze’s phone. Mei Simiao timely intervened, provided a reasonable explanation, and apologized to both of them.

Although Pei Yan and Wang Wenze were quite displeased about this, they accepted the apology without showing their discontent and assured it wouldn’t trouble them. They then bid farewell and left Elder Lin’s office.

Once the two reached the training ground, they saw Xia Yu and Liang Qian huddling over a tablet like agents exchanging secrets, cautiously glancing around.

With smiles exchanged, Pei Yan and Wang Wenze casually approached, and Pei Yan lowered his voice, his expression serious, "Our cover’s blown, we need to go quickly!"

He then moved past the two without looking back, but after a moment, they sneakily glanced back to see Xia and Liang, both clinging to the tablet, tense and briskly heading outside the training ground. The sight was amusing enough that they couldn’t help but laugh softly.

As they nearly reached the exit, they heard the sound of laughter from behind. Xia Yu and Liang Qian, understanding immediately what was going on, quickly ran back. An angry Xia Yu didn’t hesitate to kick Wang Wenze swiftly in the rear.

As she was about to give Pei Yan a thump, he hurriedly waved his hands, pleading, "Go easy on me, I’m only half a patient!" freёwebnoѵel.com

"Patient my foot!" Though she said so, Xia Yu’s hand landed much lighter on Pei Yan’s shoulder, but even that was enough to make Pei Yan wince.

Liang Qian helped Wang Wenze, who was kicked to the side, and whispered, "What really happened? Hurry and tell us!"

Hearing this, Pei Yan glanced around before leading the three of them to a corner of the training ground. Sitting down, he recounted everything from this noon and the conversation after dinner in Elder Lin’s office, including what transpired to him that night.

"No wonder. Jiumu’s ability is to be a camera. Not only can he transform any item he’s seen within his vision into a photograph, but he can also turn everything he sees into images on paper. That’s why he was brought into the agency." Xia Yu realized, nodding with understanding.

Listening to Xia Yu’s explanation, Pei Yan suddenly recalled something. He clapped his hands and pointed at Xia Yu and Wang Wenze, exclaiming, "Oh!!! I always wondered how I got caught by the ATM machine that night, and now I realize it was Ye Jiumu’s doing!"

Wang Wenze smacked him lightly on the back of the head and said, "It was a mission at the time. Once inside the agency, don’t dwell on past matters. I was part of the surveillance team."

"I didn’t say anything; just expressing my thoughts.
