Chapter 86

"Detection methods are different. You perceive through mental power directly, while mine analyzes based on brainwave activity, local bioelectric reactions in brain tissue, and specific mathematical models, among other technical means, to produce a comprehensive quantified result. The ability inhibitor acts like a wall, blocking the dispersion of mental power, but it can't stop the instrument's detection and calculation."

Hana Gager did not elaborate on the principle of the ability inhibitor. The formula and principle of this functional drug were still under strict confidentiality to prevent it from being exploited by unscrupulous individuals.

Many psychics on Blue Star still needed this widely applicable inhibitor to be effectively managed.

"Science?!"

Claudia nodded her large head, finally understanding what was going on.

It turned out she had been using the wrong approach. Humans were not metallic dragons; how could they lack mental power?

This young human's mental power hadn't disappeared; it was still there, just shielded by the drug's effect. Without detecting mental power fluctuations, even the proud innate abilities of the illusion dragon were rendered useless.

Even though the metallic dragons had fully embraced technological transformation and collectively evolved into digital dragons, they were not as familiar with technology as the native intelligent species of Blue Star, who had integrated it into every corner of their lives.

Communication between Azure Sky and Blue Star had been ongoing for thirty years. Although they influenced each other, their civilizations developed in distinct directions, with noticeable differences. This differentiation, however, created a sustainable and necessary exchange. The clash of civilizations doesn't always require war; the collision of ideas and technologies can also spark brilliant intellectual light.

Hana Gager tentatively asked, "So, Chen Fei... does he have to wait until the ability inhibitor wears off before conducting the investigation? The inhibitory effect should last for another half a month."

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the new recruit Chen Fei.

He was brought to the international medical ship in a bloody mess and barely managed to save his life. There was no chance for him to do anything.

If it weren't for the company's humanitarian efforts, using a precious magic potion to restore him, he would have been a helpless cripple, unable to move, even if he survived.

Losing his ability to work at a young age, living a life worse than death, might as well be dead.

"No, I've already finished the investigation!"

Claudia unexpectedly shook her head.

"Huh?"

Hana Gager couldn't help but widen her eyes.

"This little Purifying Light Sparrow can show me many things."

The illusion dragon's gaze fell on Chen Fei's shoulder.

Who said mental power perception had to be focused on the person themselves? There were other eyes around him.

Chen Fei's father turned his head and glanced at the little bird, completely unaware of what was happening.

You traitor!

"Chirp!~"

The little bird affectionately pecked at his father's earlobe.

It had no idea its memory had been peeked at by the nearby illusion dragon.

As the next person stood before the illusion dragon Claudia, Chen Fei's doubts grew larger. He finally couldn't hold back and asked his question.

"Manager Hana, what exactly is the company and the dragons investigating?"

Before this, the psychologist was clearly off. This time, the diplomatic delegation from Sky Dragon City on Azure Sky was even more suspicious.

Why did they have to repeatedly check everyone's memories, even intruding on personal privacy?

Not only Chen Fei, but everyone in the 911 Aircrew Base felt something was off, but they were intimidated by the domineering one-eyed woman and the harsh punishment of the "True Fragrance" combat flight squadron, so no one dared to ask openly.

Only the fearless new recruit Chen Fei would ask such a question without hesitation.

"This is company confidential. No one is allowed to ask."

The female executive manager's face turned stern, clearly displeased.

The company's decision must be followed. Thinking about unnecessary things is pointless.

"Uh... okay!"

Chen Fei felt even more that something was amiss.

But seeing Manager Hana's attitude and expression, which carried a strong warning, he guessed the reason was not simple.

"Don't ask nonsense!"

A large hand, like a fan, pressed down on Chen Fei's head. Mechanic Xiao Ming calmly met Hana Gager's gaze.

The message in his eyes was clear.

This is my person. If you have any issues, come at me!

The few people behind Chen Fei were quickly investigated, taking little time from Claudia. She looked at the female executive manager who had been supervising the entire process.

"Anyone else?"

"No!"

Hana Gager held a list, marking a check next to each name as the illusion dragon completed the investigation.

Now, the checks had reached the last name.

Fortunately, whether it was the psychologist earlier or the current illusion dragon, no one had shown any disloyalty. The loyalty and professional ethics of everyone in the 911 Aircrew Base were beyond doubt.

Such a team was reassuring.

"Investigation complete, we're returning to Sky Dragon City!"

The illusion dragon Claudia didn't hesitate.

The 911 Aircrew Base was cleared of suspicion. It seemed the problem wasn't here.

If someone had hidden Bit's heart core somewhere, the female metallic dragon Yiran would have noticed, but so far, she had found nothing.

If the people and the base were fine, then everything was fine.

To find the heart core of the metallic dragon Bit, they would have to look elsewhere.

Hana Gager didn't expect them to leave immediately after completing the investigation, but then she thought, this place was barren and had nothing worth lingering over.

The dragons had no interest in sightseeing. Why stay after finishing their business?

The 911 Aircrew Base was definitely not as comfortable as Sky Dragon City.

However, out of courtesy, the female executive manager had gifts prepared for the two dragons and the four air knights from the Slan Empire of Azure Sky.

Besides the alloy ingot specifically for the female metallic dragon Yiran, the other gifts were mostly Blue Star specialties, the latest technology products, and some particularly delicious snacks.

For this, the Tianqi Defense Group even sent a special plane to prepare everything.

The twelve flow deflector talismans planted in the grass near the main runway lit up with runes and arrays, detaching from the ground and converging into a giant umbrella-like structure that slowly rotated in the air.

Before leaving, the female metallic dragon Yiran was somewhat reluctant to part with Chen Fei. After all, he had treated her to a feast, and such an opportunity was rare.

Yiran had initially harbored some hopes, but now, the person she liked couldn't become her dragon knight, which was quite regrettable. She said, "Chen Fei, I'm leaving. It's a pity you can also eat metal. If you became my dragon knight, we would fight, and that wouldn't be good. I don't want to fight you, and you probably don't want to fight me either."

"No, no, it's fine like this. We're friends."

Chen Fei was sweating profusely, not daring to entertain the idea.

Not to mention that the dragon race no longer recognized new dragon knights and had destroyed all dragon flutes, and the trainees originally selected to become dragon knights had all become air knights. Even if they made an exception now, the survival rate of becoming a dragon knight for a killing dragon was as low as winning the grand prize in a lottery.

The grand prize had already been drawn. Buying such a "lottery ticket" now would be a dead end.

Even if Yiran insisted, Chen Fei wouldn't agree!

As the saying goes, cherish life, stay away from metallic dragons.

"Right, we're friends!"

The female metallic dragon nodded vigorously, jabbing her tail into her own body and pulling out a white-glowing object as big as Chen Fei's fist, which she presented to him.
