Chapter 986: Wild Mutant Feng Jue
Editor: Henyee Translations
Gu Yang was a rare hypnotist, and the only SSS-rank Mutant on record. Her role required conducting numerous experiments, many of which were related to mental strength. Each time she carried out these experiments, Gu Jin and Xiao Yize accompanied her, leaving Feng Jue on his own several times.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Xiao Yize had been unable to recruit Gu Yang and Gu Jin into the Mutant Division, and only then did he recall that Feng Jue, her brother-in-law, was an SS-grade Mutant. To lure him in, Xiao Yize invited Feng Jue, using Gu Yang as bait, promising that if he joined the Mutant Division, he could frequently visit with her.
Xiao Yize’s ulterior motive was to have Feng Jue join the department so he could assign him as Lin Ran’s envoy and make him work overtime. Feng Jue saw through this scheme and politely declined with a smile, saying, “I’ll follow Sister. If Sister joins, I’ll join.”
However, shortly after, the research team’s academicians accidentally discovered the elusive SS-grade Mutant, Feng Jue, and “recruited” him for experiments alongside Gu Yang and Gu Jin. Their research team desperately needed experimental data from SS-grade Mutants, and a few more sets of data would greatly benefit their ongoing research.
Feng Jue cooperated without resistance.
Gu Yang was pleasantly surprised. She knew that Feng Jue had been busy using Dream Seeking Technology to deal with the Feng family in the capital and expected him to be tied up with work. She didn’t anticipate him showing up at the laboratory so suddenly.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yize and Gu Jin gritted their teeth in frustration.
Aside from running experimental tests, the research team academicians had been focused on helping Gu Yang develop her Mutant abilities further. They knew her potential wasn’t fully tapped, and they wanted to create a system to enhance her progress.
While Gu Yang’s mental strength was formidable, her physical stats lagged behind. She excelled at hypnosis, but there was significant room for improvement in martial arts and physical fitness. Her physical fitness also impacted her ability to maintain high-level hypnosis, as a weak body wouldn’t withstand the strain of intense mental exertion.
To address this, Gu Yang frequently visited the Mutant Division for physical training, with Feng Jue and Gu Jin often accompanying her for systematic exercises. The training was rigorous, and after each session, Gu Yang would collapse from exhaustion.
However, this process helped her, Feng Jue, and Gu Jin grow closer to the academicians. Gu
Yang couldn’t help but admire their subtle yet effective guidance. She thought to herself, The older the ginger, the spicier it is—what a brilliant move to influence us gradually, like a gentle spring breeze and rain.
Thanks to the research team’s support in developing their Mutant abilities and studies, Gu Yang realized that even if they didn’t officially join the Mutant Department, they would feel obligated to assist them in the future.
On the 5th day of April, during the rainy Qingming period, the atmosphere at the Baling Mountain cemetery in the capital was somber.
Feng Jue held an umbrella in one hand and a white chrysanthemum in the other as he followed Gu Yang up the misty mountain path. Gu Yang, also holding a white daisy, walked beside him.
The cemetery was busy with many people visiting the graves of their loved ones.
Gu Yang accompanied Feng Jue to pay their respects at the graves of the Feng family’s late Old Master and Old Madam. In Feng Jue’s fragmented memories, the elderly couple had treated him kindly. Tragically, they passed away, one after the other, unable to recover from the trauma of his supposed death at the hands of kidnappers.
When they arrived, they saw that many flowers had already been placed in front of the tombstones. Gu Yang and Feng Jue quietly added their flowers to the rest.
At that moment, they encountered other members of the Feng family who had come to visit the tombs as well.
The current head of the Feng family, Feng Xuan, was taken aback when he saw Feng Jue. His expression gradually darkened.
Feng Xiaoxiao, recognizing Gu Yang, frowned and asked, “Xiao Yang, why are you here?”
