Chapter 542: Chapter 542: The Advancing Little Mice_1

Xinya lay on the hospital bed, wrestling with an intense internal struggle.

At this moment, it seemed she had only three paths before her. The first was to voluntarily betray the three individuals and hand over the secret note they had sent her to the academy. This had been the first choice to emerge in her mind, and if it had been the old her, she probably would have done so without hesitation.

However, her experiences of the past two days made her realize that even if she cooperated with the academy, she might still likely face a remedy treatment for thought correction, especially since the note contained such important information. After seeing its content, she had been forced to become a knowledgeable party of the principal’s abilities.

She now finally understood the meaning of "knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing," a saying she often saw in novels.

Xinya could imagine that the academy, in order to erase her memory, might subject her to intense electric shock therapies or even label her as an accomplice of the three.

During a sleepless night, she had looked up the effects of electric shock therapy online.

An anonymous responder had mentioned that this method was the once-infamous stimulation experiment. Before the United Government imposed a ban, it had been one of the mainstream methods for unleashing the potential of Psychic Ability Users. On this point, the teacher who had "interrogated" her had not lied.

However, the teacher hadn’t mentioned the side effects that came with the stimulation experiments.

According to the responder, more than eighty percent of Psychics who had undergone stimulation experiments suffered from severe mental illness. They were always in a state of extreme instability, exhibited bizarre behaviors, and were at risk of embarking on a killing spree in a crowd at any moment, for unknown reasons.

The ban wasn’t because the United Government had an epiphany of conscience, but rather because they could no longer ignore the dire consequences these inhumane experiments were causing.

Public opinion and losses forced them to seek out some more reliable means.

At the end of the anonymous response, the responder encouraged all recent victims of stimulation experiments to report these institutions.

After reading this response carefully, Xinya completely dismissed the idea of stimulating her abilities through electric shocks. Despite being somewhat tempted by the power surge she had experienced at the academy’s hospital, she preferred to be a mentally healthy normal person rather than achieve prominence at such a cost.

Thus, it seemed she was left with only two other choices.

The first was to pretend to know nothing, neither betraying the three individuals nor informing the academy. This neutral approach could undoubtedly bring her temporary peace.

The downside was that as the three continued their treatments, once their thought correction remedies were successful, they might voluntarily confess to the academy about the notes they had sent her. By then, she probably couldn’t escape the fate of being sent to the electric chair.

The last path was to follow the three’s request and deliver the note to Angle.

This was likely the only way she could avoid the thought correction remedy, but the risk was undoubtedly immense. If Angle failed to deal with the principal and the trio’s rebellion against the academy was completely unsuccessful, then she was doomed.

With her constitution, she definitely wouldn’t withstand a month-long thought correction remedy.

In fact, she now had gaps in her memory due to the previous electric shocks and couldn’t recall how she had been taken for "interrogation" after leaving Song Lan’s and Lu Xiang’s place.

This feeling of being forced into complicity was truly terrible.

Xinya anxiously toyed with her disheveled hair, lost as to what to do, when a knock was heard at the door.

Dr. Kulin entered.

Xinya instinctively crumpled the note into a ball and hid it. She saw Dr. Kulin approach the bedside with a stack of thick documents, her eyes filled with exhaustion, looking as if she hadn’t slept properly in quite some time.

Given her status in the academy, it would have been impossible for Dr. Kulin to meet her personally; only those students deemed to have potential by the academy could receive personal guidance from her.

"Student Xinya, we have reassessed your abilities. Starting from tomorrow, please report to my office every afternoon," she said.

Speaking, Dr. Kulin placed the report on the bedside table, "This is our assessment and recommendation for your future development, we hope you can read it carefully after you get better."

She was different from the others.

While all the teachers were discussing the three students who openly attacked the principal in rebellion, she developed a keen interest in Xinya’s extraordinary abilities.

After a whole night of research, she still couldn’t figure it out.

She consulted the precious data left behind from the past era of aggressive experiments, and even in that unrestricted "free era," there had never been a case where Spiritual Energy strength leapt several levels at once.

As a teacher at Purple Wisteria Academy, she had naturally heard the saying, "A king has a king’s talent, and a cook has a cook’s talent, there is no difference in the strength of Psychic Abilities," which in most people’s eyes was a way for students to comfort themselves, but theoretically, the statement was correct.

In this world, there were no weak abilities, the real difference lay in the intensity of Psychic Abilities.

As long as the intensity of Psychic Abilities was strong enough, even a power like Xinya’s, which was considered inferior to a kettle in the school, could undergo a transformation. She interviewed the teachers who were attacked by the plants and fell into a faint due to exhaustion, thereby realizing the terrifying extent of Xinya’s abilities after her growth.

What she could do after she grew wasn’t just making plants grow quickly, the attacked teachers claimed that the plants had mutated and even grown eyes, seemingly possessing the ability to think independently. What was scarier was that the moment they were bound by the vines, their energy was drained from them.

All of this happened within a few short seconds, and even though he was only a few steps away from Xinya at the time, he didn’t manage to make any move before his energy was drained and he passed out.

What was more terrifying upon reflection was that Xinya was restrained when she activated her abilities, and the equipment was still suppressing the intensity of her Psychic Abilities to some extent.

So, now their key research direction was to understand how exactly Xinya suddenly obtained such a terrifying intensity of Psychic Abilities.

"But please brace yourself,"

Dr. Kulin looked down at the haggard Xinya, "In order to understand the changes in you, we may need you to reenact that process in the future, which might involve thought correction remedy."

I trust you for nothing!

This sentence made Xinya make her final decision in her heart.

At that moment, she seemed to understand the reason for those three students’ rebellion.

It wasn’t about the identity of the rebels, but as long as they stayed in this school as students, in the eyes of the teachers, they were no different from Little Mice.

The so-called thought correction remedy was nothing more than a way to make the Little Mice obedient.

Even if the incident with the note remained undiscovered forever, she might still be forced to accept electric shock remedy for some other unforeseen reasons. The reason she had previously thought this academy was filled with harmony was that her identity as "trash" hardly sparked the teachers’ interest in her.

But now, everything had changed.

At least Dr. Kulin did not hide that aggressive look in her eyes, clearly already seeing her as an important future research subject.

"I understand."

Xinya nodded obediently on the surface, and she also understood the significance of doing so.

It wasn’t to help those three.

It was for herself and for more students to escape the identity of Little Mice.
