NOVEL WEB Chapter 405: Half Siblings ( 2 )
Pei Yixie let out a chuckle after she heard her half-brother's words and said, "Brother, I know what you want to do. I can help you."
Jin Xuyan stared at her for a while before he asked, "What can you do?"
"Thanks to that old man, I became a dual ability-user after the apocalypse. Besides space-type, I awakened a psychic-type ability. I can read people's minds," Pei Yixie replied with a smile.
While everyone thought that she was one of the rare dual ability-users, both Jin Xuyan and Fu Guai knew that her natural ability was the psychic-type. As for the space-type, that might be the result of the experiment she underwent in the facility.
All of the Pei family children would be taken away at the age of ten and injected with a serum to awaken their superpower, together with the abducted children or orphans bought by the Pei family.
The process of awakening was dangerous and painful. Out of a hundred children, only one of them would awaken a superpower.
For those who failed to awaken their superpower, 90% of them would end up dying, and the rest would lose part of their five senses. Those who successfully awakened their superpower would be trained before going through a series of tests once every two years.
Only those who passed the last test would be able to return to their families after the facility planted a chip in their brains and erased or altered their memories. Their names would be recorded in the facility's database as hidden soldiers who could be used anytime.
As for those who failed the test, they would be thrown out of the facility to fend for themselves after their memories were erased. If they were lucky, they might be able to return to their families. Otherwise, they would end up dead or become orphans, wandering the streets.
After a long silence, Jin Xuyan asked, "How did you know about me?"
"I overheard my parents' conversation the night before I was taken away by the facility," Pei Yixie replied.
Even though she said it so casually, Jin Xuyan could imagine the shock she felt when she learned the truth. When he found out the truth about his mother and that old bastard, Pei Xun, it took him a long time to accept the reality.
After being taken away by the Pei family from the orphanage, he was sent to the facility and underwent the experiment and training.
He didn't know the meaning behind the training and only wanted to become stronger to find his mother, which made him stand out and become one of the best soldiers the facility had ever groomed.
Thinking back on it, he should have thanked them. If not for their experiments and torture, he wouldn't have become someone so strong that he could destroy all of humanity in his past life. In this life, he would use his ability and strength to destroy them instead.
After a long silence, he finally asked, "What is your level?"
Hearing this, Pei Yixie knew that he had agreed to let her stay. She smiled and replied, "Both my abilities are at level three. My space is 1,800 square meters and 20 meters high. I can collect items from a 50-meter radius."
"As for my psychic-type ability, I can read the minds of people with weaker mental power than me without touching them. If they have stronger mental power or are two levels higher than me, I have to touch them to be able to read their minds."
"Besides mind reading, does your psychic-type ability have another skill?" Mo Junjie asked curiously.
Pei Yixie nodded and replied, "I can control the minds of ability-users with the same level as mine for ten minutes. For those with lower levels than mine, I can control it longer."
"As for ordinary people, I can control their minds for an hour. But the consumption of my mental power is high when using this skill, so unless necessary, I won't use it."
As soon as she finished her words, Li Qixuan's eyes flashed with interest. He stared at her as the corners of his lips lifted.
Feeling an intense gaze, Pei Yixie turned her head and met his gentle smile. At this moment, her instinct was screaming at her to run away as she felt danger emanating from him.
She tried to read his mind, but she felt a thick layer of barrier hindering her. This only happened if he was at least two levels higher than her or possessed stronger mental power than her.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Jin Xuyan said, "You can join my team temporarily."
Hearing this, Pei Yixie no longer dwelled on Li Qixuan's matter and replied, "Thank you, Brother."
"By the way, should I hand over my supplies to the team?" she asked.
This time, it was Yin Yusheng who replied, "Usually, we record our team supplies and divide them among the space-type ability-users in our group."
"But since you found the supplies before you joined the team, then it's your private property. It's up to you whether you want to hand them over or not."
Pei Yixie nodded and asked, "How many space-type ability-users do we have in our team?"
"Xiao Qi, Feng Yun, and Sister-in-law are space-type ability-users," Yin Yusheng replied.
"May I know how big your space is?" Pei Yixie asked while looking at them.
Xiao Qi scratched his tall nose and replied embarrassedly, "Well, my space is the smallest in our team. It's 2,000 square meters and 20 meters high. I can collect items from 30 meters away."
"Are you level four?" she asked again.
Shaking his head, Xiao Qi replied, "I just broke through level one not long ago."
Hearing this, Pei Yixie was stunned. She had always felt proud of her space since it was far bigger than those of the space-type ability-users she'd met before. But compared to this team, she was actually nothing.
