Chapter 11: There Will Be No Accidents

Ji Tianqi did not immediately plan to cross into the Otherworldly realm to search for the God-shining Skill.

So, when Bai Xiuchu suggested that they should first 'discharge' themselves to capture a super criminal, and was very worried about his attitude,

he expressed his indifference.

"I mentioned the God-shining Skill just to prove some kind of connection between inner strength and cells, to prove that I absorbed Luo Xiancheng's energy through the Beiming Skill, and not that I awakened some new superpower."

"..."

You're trying to prove you're not mentally ill, right?

Though the evidence that you're not mentally ill is increasing, like the fact that you who couldn't play Go, laid out a game and nearly beat an AI program.

But the evidence that you are mentally ill is also increasing.

For instance, you found nothing beneath the sculpture of the Divine Immortal sister, and you trained in the so-called 'Beiming Skill' and 'Wave Striding Steps' to the open air.

For instance, the Manggu Zhu Clam you thought you ate was actually a pastry I broke up and fed to you...

Bai Xiuchu took a deep breath and hid his thoughts.

"That's good to hear. And I think the adventure of obtaining the God-shining Skill isn't so easy to come by, right?"

"Definitely. I don't even know if such an adventure exists in the Otherworldly realm. Even if it really exists, the difficulty is too great."

Ji Tianqi's expression and tone were completely normal; he did not exhibit any signs of mental illness.

He sighed, "Moreover, I wouldn't dare to trust my death to earn someone else's trust. What if I die and they don't believe me and don't save me?"

We'll help you.

Bai Xiuchu did not mention the 'God-shining Skill Adventure Plan' which had been formulated and was in the process of being perfected.

The adventure of obtaining the God-shining Skill had been studied by the research team through the plot of a novel.

In the novel, the protagonist encounters a master in prison and, in a situation of distrust, ultimately uses death to prove that he is not a villain, gaining the power transmission.

Actually, the relevant plot is not important because, in the eyes of the research team, including Bai Xiuchu, all of this is ultimately just Ji Tianqi's 'fantasy.'

Therefore, as long as the logical consistency in Ji Tianqi's 'fantasy' can be fulfilled, the adventure can be obtained — powers derived from fantasy.

Among several plans made by the research team, the one that Bai Xiuchu remembers as the most straightforward is to give the Truth Serum to Ji Tianqi and bring it to the Otherworldly realm to directly coerce the secret manual of God-shining Skill.

Inhumane?

A mentally ill person's fantasy, why worry about humanity.

Of course, this plan still has some problems.

For instance, whether modern Truth Serum is effective, or rather, if Ji Tianqi will believe that such a potion could work on a master in the fantasy world of Otherworldly.

But there's no need to worry about that for the moment because it's not yet time to carry out the plan.

It can't even be directly mentioned to Ji Tianqi.

What if, after hearing it, Ji Tianqi believes the plan is perfect and wants to take the God-shining Skill first?

Actually, it wouldn't be out of the question.

But Bai Xiuchu and many in the medical (research) group believe that if Ji Tianqi's superpower really is 'Fantasy Materialization.'

And his mental illness is because his ability is too strong, outrageously so, beyond imagination, so his subconscious caused a self-sealing,

then upgrading his powers too quickly might result in him displaying more severe symptoms.

"Shall we discuss the mission?"

"Sure."

Bai Xiuchu nodded, introducing the task with a gentle tone.

"The target is..."

-----------------

Inside the safe room of Training Room 9, the members of the research team watching through the security window were a bit worried because, after Bai Xiuchu had finished speaking, Ji Tianqi would be 'discharged'.

What if Ji Tianqi doesn't want to come back?

What if something unexpected happens during this operation?

What if...

"There won't be any accidents."

Xiao Wu said with a resolute tone, "This operation is all planned, it's just a drill, or you could even call it playing along with his act. So, there won't be any accidents."

Little Wang chuckled nearby.

"Usually, saying there won't be any accidents means there definitely will be accidents."

Feeling the strange glances from the others, Little Wang added,

"Like in a movie, if a gun appears in the first act, then by the third act the gun must go off."

Xiao Wu snorted coldly.

"I don't know much about movies, but in the novels I read, those extras who always sing the opposite tune and jinx the protagonist, usually don't end up with a good fate."

"He's the protagonist?" Little Wang's tone was sharp, his eyes full of mockery.

"Else what? If he isn't the protagonist being so strong, then are you?" Xiao Wu countered.

"..."

"Stop arguing, plan something if you're idle," the person in charge commanded, and everyone watching quieted down.

Xiao Wu grabbed a pen and paper and began to write and draw.

[Abandoned offshore drilling platform + sniper rifle, whether it's possible to help the protagonist handle the Otherworldly master while ensuring safety in the real world?]

[Using a sniper rifle to kill Niu Chunqiu, would it make the protagonist believe more in the power and convenience of firearms? And thus, desire more assistance.]

[Why struggle in close combat if it can be killed with one shot? If one shot isn't enough, then a hundred shots; if guns aren't enough, then use cannons, use missiles!]

[Feasibility report on Ji Tianqi using missiles...]

This was harder to write, so Xiao Wu decided to leave it for later. After drawing a long dividing line,

he wrote again.

[How to prove Ji Tianqi is not mentally ill?]

[Strong, effective, visual, indisputable]
