บท 67: 4.4 Third Blue Star - Manipulated Chaos
{....}
Silence filled the telepathic conversation of the group. Even though both words of Gui Lan and Xie Ye were straight to the point and almost merciless the other two, Yi Zheng and Li Xing knew that what they've said is true. This institute is not made for charity, but for a hidden agenda of human modification and experiments. It just happens that they, the children, were the subjects for it. Ignoring the awkwardness in their group connection, Gui Lan started to issue orders.
Xie: {What's the plan, Lan'er?}
Gui: {I need more information. A'Ye could you read the minds of those 10 children at the sidelines.}
Xie: {I can.}
Gui: {Read deeper if you can but don't overdo it. Transfer it to this link. We'll help you filter it.}
Xie: {Okay}
Gui: {Keep a column in your thoughts. One for keeping and one for erasing. Zhe-ge please don't give too messy comments during the process. We can hear your thoughts right now.}
Li: {Understood.}
Yi: {I-I'll try to hold back.}
Xie: {One punch for one useless comment.}
Yi: {Hii! Empty the mind. Empty the mind. Empty the mind.}
Gui: {Snort* If you emptied it how can you help with filtering.}
Li: {Calm down, A'Zhe.}
Xie: "I'll begin. I'll do it one at the time."
Xie Ye closed his eyes for a moment as he controlled his mind reading ability while not interfering with the group mental connection Gui Lan had established. At first when Xie Ye used his mind reading ability to one of the children by the sideline, he hesitated to pass it to the group mental link. Only Gui Lan, who was holding his hand, noticed the changes on Xie Ye.
The hands that held him suddenly turned cold as if bloodless. It was trembling uncontrollably. Seeing this Gui Lan immediately pulled Xie Ye and forced the latter to face him. Everyone in their group could see Xie Ye's face turning pale and there's countless cold sweats converging on his face and whole body. They knew whatever Xie Ye found within that target's memories is something that could even affect Xie Ye's calm mind and shook his core. Gui Lan had forgotten that even though Xie Ye is his husband of this world, the age is still so young.
It didn't take while for the memories Xie Ye had read from the target to flow in the group connection. Endless screams of pain and agony rang within their heads. It was that child's experience. Without control the traumatic memories of the target were shared to all four of them.
(The memory Xie Ye got from one of the children from the first clearance.){AAHHHHHHH!! Stop! STOP.... NO! IT HURTS... HURTS...HURTS...AHHH! I'M SORRY. SORRY... NONONONO!!!! HAAAAAA!!!! I CAN DO IT. PLEASE! GIVE ME TIME. HURTS. AAAHHHH!!! sa-SAVE... Someone... ANyone save me... I CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE!! In the end... NO ONE... CAME...-----}
In the end Gui Lan could only forcefully cut off the temporary connection of the group even suffering backlash because of it. Gui Lan could even hear his head ringing loudly. The sudden cut off of mental connection causes the other three to feel weak all over and then faint. Xie Ye even stopped using his mind reading ability as he lost consciousness. Seeing his group member fainting all of the sudden except for him Gui Lan decided to overturn the situation forcefully if he must. Before the others notice their group situation Gui Lan exceeded the limits of his mental type special ability.
Because of this sudden event Gui Lan could only force himself to use his psychic abilities to its fullest. He combines all three mental type abilities in his mind allowing it to upgrade another level. This force upgrade is not without consequences, he could feel an unimaginable pain in his head as if someone is drilling on his brain. After the level up he opened up another mental type ability which is control type called 'Authority'. It is the power to impose absolute commands upon any existence, even reality itself. He tried to use his telepathy and newly gained ability to control everyone's mind within the institute especially towards the children inside the gymnasium. Of course, he also noticed the two gazes of the children at the sidelines who were watching him with shocked eyes. Once their eyes met Gui Lan saw the two nod their heads in agreement to him asking them to create chaos in the area.
These two children avoided the surveillance camera and kicked the back of those other children standing with them by the sidelines. The kick wasn't weak as few of them even bumps on the larger group with a huge force. Adding the fact that Gui Lan used his telepathic ability to allow their current thoughts to be shared randomly it didn't take a while for a huge brawl to begin inside the gymnasium. In the midst of chaos the two children who helped Gui Lan created the disarray run over to him. The two children seem to be at the same age as Xie Ye and Li Xing. The taller child with light brown hair and sharp but alert light blue eyes is currently frowning at him and the three who fainted beside him. The younger one has dark brown hair and eyes wearing glasses stares at him with an observing gaze.
Gui Lan smiled at them and said, "Thanks for your help. I had destroyed the black box in the surveillance room, so there won't be any proof."
The elder child introduces himself first then next the younger.
"Xu Lun."
"I'm Yun Li."
"Gui Lan. Please leave the rest to me and just act as if you were trying to help us."
The two nodded their heads.
The glasses-wearing child called Yun Li suddenly said, "The adults were about to reach this room."
Soon after Yun Li said that the doors of the gymnasium were pushed open and numerous adults in white gown and security personnel entered the place. As soon as they opened the doors the adults were welcomed by the scenes of children fighting, some fainted on the floor, some were crying and some watching the show by the side. They've started to control the chaos inside.
It didn't take a while for the adults to subdue the fighting children. Only the sounds of children crying echoes in the place. After separating the children who started the fight and those involved with it, the doctors and nurses of the institute checked on the children who got dragged on it without getting involved. One can see that some of the crying children were covered in wounds and bruises while some fainted. When a doctor saw Gui Lan and his group they immediately approached them.
As soon as the adults came nearer Gui Lan suddenly started crying they could see fear within those adorable aquamarine orbs staring at them. some of the adults who already lost their temper with the other children tried to just grab him and force him to stop crying like how he did with other children.
"Damn! Stop crying already!" This man tried to grab Gui Lan but he was stopped by his other comrades.
Slapping his friend's grubby hands, "Hey! It's just a child. The youngest among the batch. Stop it!"
"Tsk! It's not like we can protect them." the grumpy adult muttered.
"Shut up." the other man whispered back before smiling at Gui Lan. This adult man whose height is a bit lacking than the grumpy adult in white robes looks kind and slender unlike the other one with a slightly muscular figure standing beside him. This is the grumpy man wearing the same white robes.
Gui Lan who was observing the two adults in front of him suddenly noticed that these two men seemed to be familiar to him. No it is more like the original Gui Lan has these two people's faces in his memories.
Gui Lan's thoughts: 'These are... I see. With them here I could advance the escape plan ahead of time.'
The kind adult tried to wipe Gui Lan's tears with his robe only for a small hand to grab his wrist. The smile on the kind adult suddenly stiffened as Gui Lan spoke to his mind using his ability. As observant as he is, the grumpy adult noticed the sudden changes of his partner and tried to pry the small hands gripping on his friend's wrist. He knew that children of this institution are not normal children. They are special kinds of children. They are able to control supernatural power. But before he could touch them his friend grabbed his hands and shook his head telling him to stop. But the kind looking man didn't know that Gui Lan could extend his link to those whose person he made a successful link with.
(Telepathic Conversation: Gui Lan and the two adults)
Gui: {I am from Gui Clan. The heir to the minister seat and the only child of Prime Minister Gui named Gui Lan. It's been awhile. Agent K and Agent Q. Our Dormitory Room 0373's surveillance had long been tampered with me. I would like to speak with you both.}
Agent Q: {Young Master Lan why are you here!?}
Agent K: {Isn't this telepathy? I only know one person who has this ability.}
Gui: {Bring the other children. They are all like me.}
Agent K & Agent Q: {Understood}
(End of Telepathic Conversation: Gui Lan and the two adults)
Once the secret conversation was done. The two secret agents acted normally as they were before.
The kind looking adult called Agent Q said, "Don't hurt the child!"
"Tsk! Fine! They don't look wounded at all. Just throw them back to their dormitories." replied the grumpy Agent K.
"Child don't be afraid. We are just going to bring you guys back to your rooms alright?" asked Agent Q. Gui Lan stopped his crying and nodded his head.
Agent K and Agent Q carried the three unconscious children back to their rooms. Yun Li and Xu Lun followed them as well.
Their actions seem normal to the other staff members of the institute. Since there are many children who fainted and injured, the adults split up the work to look after the children. Those who were badly injured were brought to the infirmary while the rest were tasked to rest at their dormitory rooms.
Dormitory
Room 0373
Once the three who fainted were brought back to their rooms and tucked on their beds, the rest who were awake gathered in the room. Yun Li and Xu Lun who had met the two adults before them were calm despite their vigilance towards the adults of the institute. On their way there Gui Lan had already shared a part of his memories showing that these two adults were indeed secret agents who worked for the minister. They have also learned about Gui Lan's identity.
There's only a short silence in the room until the grumpy adult spoke.
Agent K, "You've changed Young Master eh. Didn't you used to be timid and shy before?"
Gui Lan gave this annoying adult a cold glance. "A façade my father asked me to use."
Agent Q elbowed him in his side and left him in pain, "Young Master. How have you been? Why are you in this place? By the way I am called Lin Ye and Agent K is called Ke Lou in this place."
Gui Lan whose eyes lingered longer on the sleeping Xie Ye replied, "Second Uncle threw here. My father is cleaning up the house. Who gave you the orders to invade this place?"
Agent Q replied, "Third Master's orders. We were ordered to bring out this child." he pointed at Yun Li as he said that.
Gui Lan only took a glance at Yun Li, "If I remembered it correctly Third Aunt's surname seems to be Yun. Did he get thrown here by Second Uncle as well. Do you have a way to contact the outside?"
Agent K replied, "Every end of month scientists were allowed to go out for a day vacation. Though we are given tracer chips before we get out, I could hinder the tracer chip and give a false location."
"That is a week from now." said Agent Q.
"The plan will be done by this end of the month. I will make the preparation." said Gui Lan.
Agent K and Agent Q stared at him.
Agent K, "I don't think you'll have any problems with the experiments because you're trained mentally by the head. These two children who successfully cleared the first clearing those three behind might have a hard time."
"They can bear it. Despite going beyond the limits of tolerance they will successfully clear it." replied Gui Lan.
Agent Q, "The success of the plan?"
Gui Lan answered, "100%. This branch will fall and the second uncle will be caught."
"We believe in you, Young Master." said Agent K.
"With you two added in it, the percentage of success exceeded 100% this is why I put the plan ahead of time instead of doing it a month later as we had planned." said Gui Lan. "You two should go back. My control within the institute is almost done. I have created a link with your brain, you can talk to me in your mind. I'll reply if I want to."
Agent Q, "We'll make it so these two could stay in this room."
"I would be making certain preparations for escape. Please send me the full blueprints in my mind later." said Agent K.
"Sure." replied Gui Lan.
The two secret agents left the dormitory to resume their jobs as scientists of the institute. The truth is that these two were already here in this institute during the second batch of children. They had watched how those children cried in extreme pain and how they took their last breath while keeping an emotionless façade.
They have also seen the scientists treat the children as if they were just lab rats with no human rights. Even the animals in slaughterhouses have better ends as they could instantly die without suffering or endless pain. But those children were tested and tested until their tears turned blood, their ear burst, lost every sense of living and even going crazy. But in the end they couldn't help them, much more save them as they were currently doing their duties as secret agents. But meeting the genius of the minister's family, this child who was considered a genius ever since he was able to walk on his own is different from others.
He had seen his timid façade from before and thought that he was just an introverted genius of the clan. But seeing him right now, remaining calm in the midst of chaos and acting accordingly to the situation, they knew he could help them with a plan to save the children. Though they would have never expected that this human trafficking syndicate branch had involvement with the Second Master, they felt gloomy and anger in disbelief. They wouldn't have thought that someone from the regal would get involved himself to this kind of dirty and inhumane sin. They felt disgusted just thinking about how that person is able to put two of nephew in this kind of shit.
While after the adults left, Yun Li and Xu Lun had a conversation with Gui Lan. As only the three of them were awake. They saw Gui Lan carrying Li Xing and placed him beside Yi Zheng, who immediately hugged the former to embrace in his sleep. It was an instinctive movement as this two two always slept together ever since copying him and Xie Ye.
Gui Lan was the first one to speak. "We can finally talk ha." He took a seat with the other two at the living room of the place. Though they call it the living room, it was just a small space in the corner of the room where they've laid a huge mat, placed a small table and put pillows surrounding the table.
Yun Li spoke, "Are you really my younger cousin?"
"Yes. Thought you might not remember seeing me as I've stopped attending family dinners and banquets at the age of 3." replied Gui Lan.
"Did you get kidnapped as well?" asked Yun Li.
"Yes. Second Uncle's men. I heard you're missing a month before I've got kidnapped. So it was his doing as well. I want to see your past memories in this institute. You wouldn't mind don't you?" asked Gui Lan who just wore a black gloves on his hands before laying it on the table with the back of his hand placed at the table's surface.
Gui Lan, "I wore gloves so I could properly control my ability."
"Do you have another ability aside from telepathy?" asked Xu Lun.
"Yes. A cognition type. Please." said Gui Lan.
Yun Li and Xu Lun who understood what he wanted to do, placed their hands on the top then they saw the young boy before them closing his eyes as if concentrating. Few minutes later they saw his face turning ashen pale. His closed eyes slightly twitch, but for his breathing is calm. They know what kind of scene this person is seeing and those scenes were their greatest nightmare. They don't know it feels to have Telepathy as an ability as their was completely under the intuitive mental type ability. Telepathy and precognition is under sensory type. Rumors say sensory type psychics were able to experience themselves what the target feels at that moment. If the target is a dead man, the seer is able to experience the moment the target had died themselves. It is like killing themselves.
After a while Gui Lan opened his eyes and let go of their hands. Then look calmly at them despite his ashen appearance.
Gui Lan, "Yun Li experienced 2 kinds of experiments. Experimentation on hearing and touch. While Xu Lun experienced 3 kinds. Experimentation on sight, touch and mind. I expected the first four: sight, smell, touch and hearing but the last one is even worse than the experiments on touch."
He then looked at Xu Lun. "How much do you remember about yourself and background?"
"I am a young master of a small clan. I have two siblings. A younger brother and elder sister. I got separated from my family in the amusement park and got picked up by a human trafficker and sold here. That's all I've remembered. Is there a problem with my memories?" said Xu Lun.
Yun Li was wearing a confused expression while listening as if not understanding what their conversation means. Gui Lan's face remained innocent as he portrayed but one could see that the depths of his eyes were cold.
He gave Xu Lun a sly smile, "Receive what Lin Ye will pass on you tomorrow and then you will understand what I mean. Continue the talk for evening, the upper beds are yours." said Gui Lan who headed to the bathroom to take a shower before joining the rest for a nap.
Yun Li and Xu Lun had a short talk before separating and taking a short rest before night falls. They had a feeling that tonight will be a long talk.
