Chapter 147, Self-Constraint
Ye Yun Ning and Zhong Xintong stayed behind to help Cheng Zhiyue.

Cheng Zhiyue, who was in a full state, seemed to have endless energy, looking through old data, analyzing psychic energy fluctuation curves, carrying a big wrench, and headed towards the machine.

Zhong Xintong was stunned.

It is easy to see that Cheng Zhiyue is not doing it for anything, to atone for her sins, to gain honor - none of this, but because the work itself can make her happy.

The two quickly joined the helping team, led by Fan Haoyan, debugging equipment, recording data, summarizing and reporting, and soon became busy with others.

Finally getting some free rest today, Zhong Xintong lay down directly on the bed, not even having the strength to stand up.

"No, no one told me that the Psychic Research Institute requires physical work. I thought it was calibrating instruments or recording experimental data." Zhong Xintong lay on the bed, not wanting to move at all, "You still have the strength. , I see that your physical skills are better than mine."

"The main thing is that this is my senior sister's territory. I can't embarrass her." Ye Yunning smiled, "Okay, you are here to accompany Fu Hong. There is no reason to make you a coolie. Have a good rest. There is no one else." It’s your fault.”

Ye Yun Ning stood up and left.

But not to find Cheng Zhiyue.

There was someone she didn't really want to see, but she had to see him.

She came to the lowest level prison of the Psychic Research Institute.

Yes, prison. Few people know that the Psychic Research Institute, which is mainly responsible for technological research and development, actually has a prison in its basement.

Moreover, Ye Yun Ning dared to vouch for it. Whether it was the Tribunal or the Supervision Office, no prison was stronger than the one at the Psychic Research Institute.

This place was originally used to store extremely unstable spirits, and was later gradually converted into a prison. However, because the Psychic Research Institute is not responsible for detaining prisoners, it is empty most of the time. Whoever wants to be imprisoned can't even say a word. None of the people.

Therefore, the walls of the prison here are made of mithril.

As soon as you step into this basement, "cold" is the most direct feeling. It is not just the coldness felt by the body, but also a gloominess that arises from the bottom of the heart, the severe cold that has not been seen for many years.

This is a feeling that cannot be spiritualized, and the spirit binder naturally loses control over it.

Spirit bonders are more likely to have excessive emotions than ordinary people in a mithril environment.

This is true for all those who are bound to spirits, let alone spirits.

"Aunt Yang Su, long time no see." Ye Yun Ning walked to the end of the prison and slowly squatted down.

It can be seen that the space here is obviously smaller than other cells. It is reinforced with a mithril layer that is thicker than the surrounding cells. If it is hit with a punch, the walls here will not change at all.

Yang Su's investigation has not been made public. The official data is that he was a member of the old Supervision Office and participated in the construction of the new Supervision Office. Although this sounds strange, it is actually not that surprising.

Does the original old person have to be a one-size-fits-all bad guy?In other words, if you are a bad person in the first place, you must not be able to change for the better?
He was immediately thrown into jail without even being interrogated. If Yang Su hadn't had numerous criminal records, someone would have sued the Psychic Research Institute for unjustly accusing a good person.

Yang Su was the reason why Cheng Zhiyue was imprisoned, but her background was more complicated than Cheng Zhiyue's.

It seems that the words were spoken during the illegal interrogation of Chai Wenmao by the old Supervision Office, but the actual situation is only more complicated than this.

"Aside from Xiaojiu, the only person who shares the same spirit with me and Ying Chengfeng is you, Aunt Yang Su." Ye Yunning said, "Therefore, I have always respected you as my senior and never dared to be disrespectful. "

The person Ye Yunning was talking to was the small opening for delivering food under the prison. When it was not open, the opening was so thin that even an A4 paper could not be inserted.

"When did you doubt me?" Yang Su said, still in the same voice, but not in the usual tone.

"Because of Xiaojiu, he has an excellent relationship with Kaka. They share the same spirit and are connected heart to heart, but they will not take the initiative to tell Kaka something. Xiaojiu's IQ is not yet clear enough to be 'important' to humans. The concept of living being 'not important', Kaka can know all this, either Ying Chengfeng asked, or who signaled Xiaojiu to speak." Ye Yunning said.

"Then why can't it be the former?" Yang Su approached Xiaokou.

"I thought it was Ying Chengfeng who asked the question at first, but that doesn't stop me from doubting that you, as their mother, don't need to make everything arbitrary to death," Ye Yunning said, "Especially later, I heard that you He was not imprisoned in the Tribunal, but in the Psychic Research Institute, so I am even more sure of my guess."

"What guess?" Yang Su asked.

"You have to use Ye Qiaoshu's method to help you escape again." Ye Yunning replied.

At that time, Ye Qiaoshu testified that Yang Su was an undercover agent of the old Supervisory Office at the Psychic Research Institute. Since it was "internal evidence" and the evidence was solid, the case could be passed over to the Psychic Trial Court and directly decided by the Director of the Psychic Research Institute. Ye Qiaoshu himself announced the conviction of internal traitors - this would better save litigation resources and was allowed by the base regulations.

Now, Yang Su's "crime" was revealed during the interrogation of Chai Wenmao by the old Supervision Office. Cheng Zhiyue was not the first whistleblower, but the Psychic Research Institute immediately recognized Yang Su's crime and controlled her. In your own hands.

Come to think of it, this was Yang Su's own idea.

if not?If you want to find out the whole story, you have to send Yang Su to the trial court. People send her there, and the trial process is extended until the day when Yang Su is dismembered. She was originally a "disabled person" who ran away from the Golden Flower Palace. "People", no matter how we treat them, public opinion will always be able to cover them up with a blanket.

It is better to make a decisive decision and admit the crime directly, eliminating the room for the court to intervene.

Yes, Yang Su was a collaborator and betrayed the Psychic Research Institute, but this matter was an "internal matter" of the Psychic Research Institute. At most, it would involve the old Supervision Office and the New Supervision Office, and it had nothing to do with the Tribunal anyway.

I plead guilty. You don’t have to clear my name, and you have no right to judge me.

Yang Su raised her head and looked at Ye Yun Ning: "Yes, this is my plan."

"What about Cheng Zhiyue? She, was she taken away by the government agency as part of your arrangement? She is in your way. Do you want to replace her?" Ye Yunning asked.

"Cheng Zhiyue is an honest child, too honest, and is obsessed with innocence and the truth. I told her about 'confessing guilt and seeking peace,' but she was unwilling." Yang Su said.

"——I believe the base will return my innocence." Yang Su spread her hands, "That's what that silly girl said."

"Aunt Yang Su's answer confirmed another suspicion of mine," Ye Yun Ning said, "You are the one who really controls the overall situation of the Psychic Research Institute, right? And Cheng Zhiyue is just a researcher you pushed to the front desk."

Yang Su did not deny it: "That child is indeed not suitable for politics."

"Your identity is embarrassing. The double mark of Golden Flower Palace and 'betrayer' means that you are destined to be unable to appear on stage, so you pushed Cheng Zhiyue forward. This is obviously obvious, but I have never considered it before. , you know why, right?" Ye Yunning said slowly.

"For a long time, have you thought that Cheng Zhiyue is the real person in charge of the Psychic Research Institute?" Yang Su sneered, "With all due respect, the Psychic Research Institute will not even be able to hold up Yesi when he comes to power. Being rushed to pieces by that silly girl." "The Golden Flower Palace and the betrayer are not enough to convince me of your exit. What really makes me think that you cannot come to the front is your identity, your identity as a 'spirit'. "Ye Yun Ning's voice echoed in the empty space for a long time.

"How could Senior Ye Qiaoshu allow a real spirit to control the Institute of Spiritual Energy? No matter how open-minded she is, she would never be able to do this - hand over the top institution for spiritual body research to a spirit to take charge." Ye Yun Ning said.

That is simply equivalent to leaving basic medical experimental research to a guinea pig as the main person in charge!

No animal lover, no matter how compassionate he is, would do such a ridiculous thing, let alone a top researcher who understands the bonded spirit better than he understands himself.

"But if Ye Qiaoshu doesn't give in, she can find thousands of ways to restrain you. This is her specialty." Ye Yunning said.

Yang Su chuckled again, seeming to be laughing at something.

"Did I guess wrong?" Ye Yunning asked, "Does it mean that Ye Qiaoshu trusts you so much that he trusts you to the extent that he can leave everything to you?"

"Little girl, don't use your human moral standards to judge our souls," Yang Su said, her tone completely different from the previous kindness, and she had turned into a heartfelt look.

"Just like in your eyes, people with congenital intellectual disabilities are not human beings. In our eyes, do people of the same race who are so weak that they have not even developed spiritual intelligence be considered members of the same race?" Tao Xin said.

"Indeed," Ye Yun Ning fell into thinking, "The gap between higher spirits and lower spirits is comparable to humans and paramecium. It is normal that you cannot regard them as the same species."

Moreover, the initial accumulation of power of spirits comes from the collision and devouring of each other. The peach heart has reached the first level of advanced wisdom and has devoured countless inferior individuals. Naturally, it is not a person who shows excessive sympathy.

Spirits themselves do not have the concept of "same race". Their existence is self-interested, like the Long Song of the Dragon and the Wheel of Time. They knew each other's existence, but they did not say "Let's make friends." idea.

"So, from this perspective, Ye Qiaoshu chose to trust you?" Ye Yunning thought.

"No, no," Tao Xin spread her hands and said, "Even so, she still doesn't trust me to stay here as the person in power. There is a spirit seal left by her in my sea of ​​consciousness."

Ye Yun Ning was stunned: "Do you also have such mutual restraint between you?"

"Yes, if this constraint exists all the time, I will never be free. I will always be bound by a rope, living in the shadow of a human being who can be strangled to death if I reach out my hand." Taoxin said.

Ye Yun Ning's eyes suddenly opened wide, and her heartbeat was irregular for a moment: "What are you talking about? Now that Ye Qiaoshu's control over you has disappeared, has something happened to her?"

"I don't know. We are too far apart and have been too long. Without psychic communication, the contract will naturally become invalid." Taoxin replied.

Ye Yunning slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "I was shocked. I thought something had happened to Ye Qiaoshu."

"Her restrictions on me are still there, or the body itself's restrictions on me are still there," Tao Xin stretched out her hand and glanced at Yang Su's body, "I can't move freely or make too weird moves. Then The bonding spirit seal has tightly bound me to this body's bonding spirit, and I can't even get rid of her on my own."

"Senior Taoxin," Ye Yunning changed her title, "Senior is strong enough, and his control over this body is definitely not weak. If you want, it shouldn't be a problem to run to the street and get a big top, you said Those who can't, in fact, most of them are not bound by this body, right?"

Tao Xin was stunned, feeling that she would not like to hear what Ye Yun Ning said next.

"What really traps you is the understanding that you have subconsciously cultivated in your heart after observing the human world for decades," Ye Yunning said softly, "the understanding of human morality and self-restraint."

Tao Xin was startled and suddenly lost her composure: "You're talking nonsense, it's impossible, it can't be like this -"

"Senior Tao Xin, Aunt Yang Su, no matter which one I'm talking to, please answer me honestly. Is it because you agree with the moral order of human society that you haven't done anything crazy?" Ye Yunning asked. asked.

"Impossible," the other party replied subconsciously, "impossible, the rules of the human world, such ridiculous rules, I agree with you, how, how is it possible!"

"In the human world, we obviously have powerful abilities but do not annex each other. We can obviously make profits but pursue the so-called 'innocence'. We can obviously live comfortably but want to benefit others. Such rules and regulations and such morality are simply stupid. How could I agree?" Taoxin's voice became louder.

"Senior, calm down," Ye Yun Ning remained calm, "I have no other intention. I just want to express my indescribable gratitude to you on behalf of all mankind for your compliance with the law."

Taoxin didn't feel any gratitude at all, he only felt that he was being ridiculed.

"Will I follow the same set of moral principles as you weak humans? Stop joking!" Taoxin's tone became serious.

"I can destroy most of you with one finger. Hiding my strength and walking in the crowd just makes you look ridiculous. Ye Qiaoshu, Lin Luo, Cheng Zhiyue, you are all fools who wear shackles on your body. I am I’m not a fool like you!”

Ye Yun stood outside the door.

"senior……"

"No, no, I'm not stupid enough to use the trap of a weak human being on myself. I, I stay here honestly, just because I don't want to expose my identity..." Taoxin said.

"So, as long as senior wants to, he can leave this mithril-made cage, he can raise his hand and fight to the palace, give the man in black robe a sword directly, and send him back to the Navigator, right?" Ye Yunning? He spoke.

"..." Taoxin said nothing.

What others think of as bragging is not something he can't do here.

"You are the one who locks you here. No one else has the right to lock you in the Psychic Research Institute, right?" Ye Yun Ning said, her voice calm.

"Other than Ye Qiaoshu, no one knows your true identity anymore. It is impossible for them to lock up an ordinary spirit binder in such a tight place. Why did you lock yourself up?" Ye Yunning asked.

"I think the problems faced by human beings are always stupid and ridiculous," Tao Xin said gloomily, "If the problems can be solved by devouring and killing, why do you have to tear the eggs of those mothers-in-law and give them to them to see who doesn't like them? It’s just one knife, why do you need a beautiful shell?”

"So, you locked yourself here to suppress your urge to kill, right?" Ye Yunning suddenly understood, "You have disgust, you have hatred, you have everything you can't stand, and you want to destroy Something—and the ability to destroy him.”

Taoxin said nothing.

"But you can't. Human moral standards and behavioral patterns tell you that you can't. You can't kill people for no reason, no matter how powerful you are. You can't attack the criminal because he hasn't been tried yet, right?" Ye Yunning said.

"So you lock yourself up and pretend that you can't do it, so you can 'not listen', 'don't watch' and 'don't participate', right?" Ye Yunning's voice was gentle.

"But when a person feels that he is not worthy, it just means that he is more worthy than most people."

“Just when you think you’re not qualified to participate, you’re more qualified than most people.”
